Millennium Date? EP.35
In a certain space.
Â
The anomaly of one person was transmitted to another person far away.
Â
"...Hmm?"
Â
"Is something wrong, Black Suit?"
Â
"No, it's nothing."
Â
'I see. So they've finally awakened.'
Â
Black Suit internally chuckled as he assessed the information he received.
Â
'The mystery and terror of Isis, and an awakened being, huh.'
Â
'I wonder what choice you will make.'
Â
'Hehehe, this is going to get even more interesting.'
Â
Â
Well then, I'll be looking forward to it, Takanashi Sora.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
"Haa..."
Â
"...I'm sorry, Sora-chan..."
Â
"No... It's okay..."
Â
'My head hurts though.'
Â
After being knocked out by Hoshino's unintentional attack, I woke up on the hospital bed about an hour later.
Â
"Bu-but..."
Â
"No, really, I'm fine."
Â
'My head hurts a little though.'
Â
Should I call it lucky? I fainted, but my body was surprisingly alright.
Â
'My head hurts like hell though!'
Â
"Ugh..."
Â
Anyway, my head is throbbing, like there's a heavy stone inside, but other than that, there's no problem.
Â
"..."
Â
"Sora-chan?"
Â
...No, to be honest, it's more like I don't have time to worry about my headache.
Â
The person I saw when I fainted.
Â
'What was that?'
Â
Not only did they appear in a space that should only have Yume and me, but they also claimed to be me.
Â
And on top of that...
Â
'I can't remember what they said after that...'
Â
I feel like they said something really important, but no matter how hard I try to recall, I can't remember.
Â
It's like someone deliberately erased my memory...
Â
'This is a headache...'
Â
"Sora-chan?"
Â
'Just what is happening to this body...'
Â
"Sora-chan!"
Â
"Eek! Y-yes?"
Â
"Are you really okay...?"
Â
Hoshino looked at me with a worried expression, probably because I was lost in thought.
Â
"Haha... I'm really fine... No, I'm okay, Hoshino... I mean, big sister..."
Â
"Ehehe, you don't have to force yourself to call me that..."
Â
"Force? Not at all..."
Â
This is something I decided for myself, so even if it's a bit of a stretch, I have to do it.
Â
Besides...
Â
---
Â
"Ehehe~ Sora-chan~"
Â
---
Â
She was so happy, I can't just use it once and stop.
Â
"I'm just not used to it yet... I mean, not yet."
Â
"Hmm... If you say so, Sora-chan..."
Â
"Oh right, Sensei? Do you know where he went?"
Â
"Eh? S-Sensei? Sensei is..."
Â
Drrreuk
Â
"Ah, good. You're awake?"
Â
"Ah, Sensei!"
Â
As we were talking, the hospital room door opened, and Sensei appeared.
Â
"Sensei, I'm not too late, am I?"
Â
"...Eh? Oh, yeah. You're not too late... Are you really alright?"
Â
"I'm fine. Even if I'm not, I have to go!"
Â
"Haha... As your teacher, I'd rather you rest today..."
Â
"U-ehehe? S-Sora-chan... This old lady's I can't follow... What do you mean?"
Â
"...Huh? Didn't you tell her?"
Â
"Nope..."
Â
"Hmm... Well... I was actually planning to go to Millennium..."
Â
"M-Millennium?"
Â
"Yeah."
Â
It's something I've been thinking about since I couldn't use my legs.
Â
"A regular wheelchair is inconvenient, after all."
Â
As far as I remember, Millennium had wheelchairs that moved automatically.
Â
Yeah, the kind that sickly cute girl uses.
Â
"So I asked Sensei to take me to Millennium."
Â
Sensei also had business at Millennium, anyway. He readily agreed, and that's how we got to this point.
Â
"B-but isn't it dangerous...?"
Â
"Ah, that's fine. Sensei said he'll put up a barrier, just in case."
Â
Arona's special barrier, at that.
Â
"So don't worry."
Â
"U...umm..."
Â
Hoshino looked a bit reluctant at my words, but when Sensei showed her the barrier, she allowed me to go out.
Â
"Then, shall we go, Sensei? Oh, but isn't this like a date? A Millennium date."
Â
"Eh? Oh, yeah. I guess it is."
Â
And so, we set off for Millennium...
Â
"D-date...?"
Â
*
Â
We left the hospital, but Sensei's expression wasn't good.
Â
"Haa..."
Â
"Haha, that was a disaster, Sensei."
Â
But it's understandable.
Â
Just a moment ago, after I said I was going on a date with Sensei...
Â
---
Â
Clink
Â
"Sensei... I don't think it's likely, but I'll warn you in advance. If anything happens to Sora-chan... You know what will happen, right?"
Â
---
Â
She grabbed Sensei and threatened him with a shotgun, smiling but not really smiling.
Â
'...Well, I did intend it halfway.'
Â
I wouldn't just boldly say it's a date, would I? This was all an experiment too.
Â
From what I remember, most of the students in the original story had feelings for Sensei.
Â
'And Hoshino is no exception.'
Â
So I was curious about how Hoshino would react if I said I was going on a date...
Â
'I didn't expect jealousy... but I didn't think she'd worry about me...'
Â
Was big sister my mother all along...?
Â
[Next stop is Millennium Science School station. The doors will open on...]
Â
"Ah, looks like we've arrived."
Â
Lost in useless thoughts, we finally arrived at Millennium.
Â
*
"Oh... This is Millennium..."
Â
I couldn't help but admire the sight of Millennium.
Â
On the way here, all I saw was the desert. The cutting-edge facilities, which I hadn't even seen in my past life, were enough to capture my heart.
Â
"But Sensei, what business do you have at Millennium?"
Â
"Ah, actually, the Game Development Club...? They requested assistance."
Â
'Game Development Club, huh... So the next story is already starting?'
Â
'I'm sure the story name was... some kind of flower...'
Â
Unfortunately, the only story I skimmed through was the Millennium story, so I don't remember it well.
Â
'All I remember is that Aris is a machine? And they were twin sisters...'
Â
Ah, but I remember the beginning.
Â
'A game console flies and hits Sensei, knocking him out...'
Â
"...Wait a minute... D-don't tell me...?"
Â
As that thought crossed my mind, I unconsciously looked up.
Â
And I saw it. A Fly Station falling towards us.
Â
'But why does it feel like it's coming towards me...?'
Â
The game console, which should have hit Sensei, was falling towards me instead.
Â
"Haha, seriously...?"
Â
And then,
Â
Ppaak!!!
Â
"S-Sora?!"
Â
It hit me square on the head.
