[Comprehensive] Akashi Haruo of a certain science

Chapter 3

In late spring and early summer, the temperature is quite suitable.

The sun shines through the gaps in the trees and casts mottled light and shadows on the faces of those who enjoy the shade. It is clear that the warm temperature falls on Qingshi's body, but it carries some indescribable coolness.Qingshi's initial awakening dissipated in an uncontrollable manner when she saw the other person's face. Now, after calmly communicating with the other person, her state of mind became more and more tranquil, lifeless... dead still.

"Forgive me for speculating—if me and you, and our memories, are true..."

Qingshi stared at Akashi, all the soft light receded, his pupils were so deep that it was impossible to discern the emotions in them, but his voice was gentle but at the same time calm and rational to the extreme, "Then it is very likely that I am from another world" you'."

He clearly knows that he is the "only child", but his name and appearance are strangely similar. These two points alone are already shocking enough, plus the information just exchanged—similar or even identical family background, environment, Experience, knowledge, social circle...

These are no longer reaffirming the original point.

Even the tone of speech and the idiomatic rhetoric are surprisingly similar, and there are even some small habits that cannot be noticed without careful observation.But there is indeed no information about "Akashi Haruhime" in this world... With the technology of this era alone, such a large-scale "clearing and replacement" should not be possible, so the only possible guess can only be——

These two are very likely to be the "same person" in parallel time and space.

Akashi rested his fingers on his chin, and pondered, "According to your description, I also have the same conjecture about this point, but... the evidence we have at present is not enough to support this point, and it is only at the stage of speculation at this moment. Do you have any other proof?"

Qingshi showed a little confusion, "I... don't know the reason why I appeared here, or the opportunity to travel—"

"Think slowly, don't worry..."

"Ok, I know."

The special family background makes Qingshi habitually keep a vigilant no matter where she is, but even if she traces her memory back to the moment she wakes up, she still can't find anything unusual, until she sees the girl named "Kose Ryota" "The teenagers...

So did she enter another "universe" from the moment her heel hit the ground? —Is it... "the door"?

Qingshi, who was lost in thought, unconsciously curled her long hair with her fingertips, and her beautiful eyebrows were also finely twisted. Akashi could tell that this person was extremely distressed at the moment, but even so, she always maintained her calm appearance And with ease, thinking about countermeasures.

So far, he is quite satisfied with this girl who seems to be "himself", even if the other party is a relatively "weak" woman.

Seeing Qingshi let go of her long hair suddenly, Akashi immediately asked, "Do you need me to do something?"

If such a "door" really exists...

Qingshi raised her head, her eyes were deep, "Please follow me."

Then, Akashi was brought to the school gate by Qingshi—at this moment, the school gate was already closed, and the security guard immediately stood up to stop them dutifully when they saw that they wanted to go out.Qingshi paused for a moment, but finally leaned to the side, exposing Akashi next to him. At the same time, Qingshi turned her head and smiled softly at Akashi, clearly begging—"Then I will trouble you."

This is the best choice, no matter how it was in the previous world, but now everything here belongs to "Akashi Seijuro".

The boy smiled at her and started negotiating with the security guards. Qingshi stepped aside obediently but didn't listen to their conversation.

There is no need to doubt Akashi's ability to handle affairs at all, just as she trusts herself unconditionally.

——That would be even more suspicious.

What is the purpose of pulling her into this world without warning?Is it a coincidence... Just to meet this person, say hello and get to know each other... That would be too naive, how could it be so simple?So, what is it...

Akashi quickly used his identity as the student council president to convince the security guard, "It's ok, Aka..." He was stumped by the title, obviously calling his own surname was a bit strange, "Qing...what? Let me distinguish you a little It doesn't matter if I call it that?"

Qingshi nodded in acceptance. "Okay, that's good. It's just... I hope this way of addressing you is only temporary."

She just wants to be her "Akashi Haruhime", her... "Akashi-san".

Akashi followed Qingshi again, "Naturally, I sincerely hope so too."

"Here, it's here." Qingshi stopped halfway, she pointed to the ground under her feet, looked into Akashi's eyes and said, "This is where I got off this morning-and all the violations I felt It’s only when you walk out of that ‘door’.”

Akashi's expression also became solemn, "You mean... there may be a 'gate' here that can travel out of control. Behind the door is your world, and through it, you come to my world. The two are parallel and different from each other. Intervening... exists?"[1]

Qingshi didn't answer, her eyes focused on the ancient tree next to her.

Akashi followed her gaze, "What did you find?"

"It should be...evidence." Qingshi squatted down and stood up again. The hem of her skirt was well covered during the process. She picked up the last few remnants of cherry blossoms that were stubbornly resisting, and handed them to Akashi while tilting her head to analyze Said, "I noticed on the way back yesterday that this cherry tree has all withered, but now... it still has some cherry blossoms. From May [-]th to today's May [-]th, the date does not appear to be correct. Going back in time... This is enough to prove that the world I am in is indeed not mine, have you noticed it?"

When Akashi took the cherry blossoms, it was inevitable that he touched Qingshi's fingertips—contrary to the gentle smile on the corner of her lips, Qingshi's body temperature was completely cold, and she herself seemed dead silent.

It shows that she is not weak in her heart, and she is as calm as she shows.But Qingshi's brows and eyes were so peaceful, enough to bury all the uneasiness, Akashi pursed his lips and swallowed the words of concern that had reached his throat.

If it is "he", what you want at this time is definitely not caring or sympathy.

Akashi shook his head and replied, "It's the same as yesterday, this place...is my world."

Qingshi stroked her fingertips up the hair until she reached her chin, and she made the exact same movement as Akashi did before, "So the conclusion is——I am in 'your world'. Where is that gap?"

Saying this, she walked back and forth several times along the way she came here, Akashi stood quietly watching her the whole time, until the next turn around, Qingshi finally gave up.She raised her hand to press down her long hair that was blown by the wind, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked up. Against the pair of quiet and deep eyes, she couldn't tell whether she was laughing at herself or relaxing, but she never showed any collapse or despair.His gaze met Akashi again——

"I can't go back, there is no way to go back to my world for the time being." Qingshi shook her head helplessly, and said softly but firmly, "I can't find the location of the 'door', or... the 'door' it-- It's closed."

There is nothing worse than this - she is stranded in this world!

Everything happened too suddenly, and it cannot be explained by means of scientific common sense. If the "door" was an accident, then the next accident... When will it "open"?

Even if you try your best to study the method of opening the "door", regardless of whether you are lucky enough or whether you will succeed in the end, it will take a long time just to collect relevant non-existent materials and theories, then...

"Next... what are you going to do?" Akashi immediately grasped the key point.

Is it—try hard to find a way to go back, or... stay in this world submissively?

Qingshi frowned, "It's not very clear yet."

She didn't appear to be flustered—compared to when she launched "Existence of Being Obliterated" in the morning, she seemed much calmer at this moment, and this result was completely in her expectation. There have never been so many coincidences in this world, but The more pressing her mind became clearer——

"Zheng-kun, it doesn't matter if you call me like that...?"

Qingshi finally chose her usual gentle and polite way of addressing, and seeing Akashi nodded in agreement, she continued, "Zheng-kun, since 'I' is 'you', then if you are in my place now What would you do in your position?"

She kicked back Akashi's question without any changes.

Akashi bowed his head and pondered for a moment, "Collect more evidence for further investigation, and find a way to return to the original world, but now the first thing is to let myself be able to... live."

Only by being alive can one be barely qualified to know the truth.

The current Akashi Haruji is a "vacuum body", her existence is not even recorded in the book, wanting to live... is easier said than done?

"This kind of idea is very good, I will probably do the same, I want to live and find a way to go back..." This sentence inexplicably has a sense of vicissitudes, but the next second she raised her head and blinked at Akashi slyly, " Will Zhengjun help me?"

Akashi was silent for a long time before saying, "What do you need from me?"

This sentence is equivalent to directly writing a blank check, such a promise...Although it sounds a bit absurd, but there is no way——

Who let the person in front of me be my "self" from another world?She has the same face and similar experiences as her, and not only that, but she is also a privileged girl... Even the flash of sadness just now, the emotion of a weak person, combined with that beautiful face is also very impressive. There was more pity than disgust, so I couldn't help pampering her.

Moreover, I can roughly guess what she needs...

Qingshi smiled with her eyes crooked, she really admired from the bottom of her heart, "You are so gentle, Zhengjun."

"I think—" It's about survival, her expression is rare to be serious, and even the corners of her lips that are habitually smiling are loosened, with an unexpected cold and solemn taste, "If possible, I I still want the surname 'Akashi', and hope that Mr. Zheng can take me in."

——As expected...that’s the request.

"Yes." Akashi nodded, "I will introduce you to my father, but..." He seemed to think of something bad, and frowned slightly, "You need to fight for it yourself, I...can't guarantee the outcome. "

Afraid that Qing would be worried, he added a reassuring sentence, "You don't need to worry too much, I will help you persuade..."

"It doesn't matter at all, this is enough..." Qingshi shook her head and didn't seem worried about the uncertainty in Akashi's words, but said gratefully, "Masaki-kun is willing to lend a helping hand... I am very grateful —Besides, I should work harder myself.”

That's enough... because the person who wants to live in this world... is actually "I".

If you don't work hard and simply rely on others like a parasite... then you can't even be called "living".

I want to go back with the original "me", whether it's *, or... spirit.

"Well, I see. If this is all right..."

Akashi stretched out his hand to Haruhisa, and introduced formally and gentlemanly, "Then let's get to know each other——Akashi Seijuro, the 'you' in this world, in the near future, there should be another identity—"Your brother '."

Qingshi held a slightly generous hand that only belonged to men, and the warmth was instantly transmitted in an irresistible manner.

Qingshi thought about it for a while, and finally said, "Well... please allow me to interrupt a little bit - but would it be... not good to use such a self-proclaimed name so early? I heard it's too early to say something Man will be at a disadvantage, Zhengjun."

Her voice is slightly lower than that of ordinary girls, but when she habitually uses a soft voice, she slows down at this moment, and has a different kind of tenderness, "Speaking of it, Zhengjun will A chess player, and the kind that plays well...?"

While speaking, she raised her head, the pair of red eyes facing her were filled with her own reflection, the slightly retracted arc looked gentle, Qingshi issued an irresistible invitation to Akashi for the second time today——

"So...how about a round of competition, Zhengjun?"
