Preserving Beautiful Moments

　　After leaving, Ryota checked the route on his cellphone.

　　The train was faster than taking a taxi so, as a last resort, he took another train.

　　But this time he studied and found a shop at the station to buy masks and hats.

　　After putting it on, none of the high school girls came to talk to him.

　　After arriving at Sumida District, Ryota got off at Oshiage Station.

　　It took him a while, and he found Hayasaka and Misaki somewhere in the station.

　　Hayasaka is wearing a hot girl style, with a single ponytail, coquettish makeup, glossy lip gloss, ultra-short skirt, white socks, perfect body curve legs, which is very eye-catching.

　　Standing with the equally gentle and lovely Misaki, she was especially eye-catching at the station where people were coming and going.

　　Maybe because of the style of dress, some of the youths who looked a bit frivolous wanted to strike up a conversation.

　　But just a few steps closer, his expression became confused, and they turned and left.

　　At the same time, Misaki frowned slightly, and kindly reminded the people beside her:

　　"Hayasaka, don't you have more ordinary clothes?"

　　"Hah?" Hayasaka said with a surprised expression: "Is Misaki going to lecture me about this matter? You're clearly wearing lacy panties?"

　　"H-How did you know?" Misaki blushed slightly.

　　"When you were in the mansion, after you bowed down, I accidentally saw it." Hayasaka showed a faint smile, "Is that kind of thing really covering up?"

　　"You have no right to say that about me." Misaki faced each other.

　　At this time, Ryota comes.

　　After hearing the conversation between the two, he complained:

　　"I said, you two, if you're embarrassed, why not dress plainly? Just like my little sister."

　　"Shut up!"

　　Hayasaka and Misaki looked at Ryota at the same time, revealing the aggressiveness of a girl.

　　Ryouta: "..."

　　"Really Shiro-chan, you don't understand girls' minds at all. You need to learn more in the future."

　　Hayasaka reminds: "Trend dressing is an artistic pursuit for girls."

　　"Oh? It's rare that we have the same opinion," Misaki rolled her eyes and said, "Shiro-chan, your little sister's clothes are plain, obviously because she wants to save money? Don't mix the two up."

　　While speaking, she carefully looked at Ryota.

　　There were no injuries, and his condition was very good, it didn't seem like Tokisaki Kurumi was lying to her.

　　Of course, it still needs to be asked.

　　"Your wound, has it healed?" Misaki asked worriedly.

　　"Do you think I'm hurt now?" Ryota smiled and said, "No need to worry too much. Since I'm out to play today, let's have fun."

　　"What actually happened to you last night?" Hayasaka asked curiously, "Misaki-chan never told me."

　　"Don't just call -chan in front of other people's names!" said Misaki slightly dissatisfied.

　　"But the herbs are so small." Hayasaka smiled gently, "Just like a cute little sister, right, Shiro-chan."

　　"Yes it is."

　　Ryota nodded, feeling the urge to stroke Misaki's head.

　　Misaki: "..."

　　She understands.

　　Hayasaka loves this man... so she hatched such an idea?

　　Deliberately emphasizing that she is still very young, hinting to Ryota about the age gap between the two.

　　Facing this woman, she really couldn't relax at all!

　　"What happened last night is a secret between Shiro-chan and I, Hayasaka doesn't need to know."

　　Misaki glanced at Hayasaka lightly, then looked at Ryota again, and said:

　　"Shiro-chan, you shouldn't say those things, right? As a woman, I have done that in front of you, shameful behavior, you have to keep it a secret for me, right?"

　　"Embarrassed..."

　　Ryota thought of the scene where Misaki was crying in front of him, suddenly smiled, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, why would I talk nonsense about that kind of thing?"

　　Hayasaka: "..."

　　What really happened to these two people?

　　Why did she feel that this dialogue was… a bit off?

　　"By the way, Hayasaka." Ryota suddenly thought of something, and his face turned serious: "About the supernatural aspect, I have something to remind you."

　　So, he repeated the precautions said to Kei.

　　Ryota doesn't care about spreading information.

　　He would even tell the minister about these things when he turned around.

　　The fewer ghosts you kill, the safer this world will be.

　　Concealment was discouraged at this stage, and he still understood this truth.

　　Beside her, Misaki was also listening intently.

　　After listening, she suddenly said with emotion:

　　"Before I thought, Shiro-chan, your world is very dangerous, but now it seems like it is!"

　　"No no no, we're completely harmless like you… Uh, I don't know which side is more dangerous now."

　　In the middle of talking, Ryota paused, his tone slightly helpless.

　　If he hadn't tried to give up the previous mission, he wouldn't have known that the things involved in the [Red Advent] phenomenon were so perverted.

　　A task with SSS difficulty level, this was already the highest difficulty level in the guild rankings.

　　Indeed, Misaki's world has a Demon God, and the world has been destroyed and reshaped countless times.

　　But on the other hand, what's behind the [Red Advent] phenomenon is more sinister.

　　"What is wrong?"

　　Misaki heard the helplessness in Ryota's words and asked.

　　"That's something far away from us, so let's not talk about it." Ryota shook his head "Rarely go out together, let's go, let's visit the Sky Tree."

　　"Don't worry, I have something to tell you."

　　Misaki recalled what Kurumi had said to herself, and reminded Ryota:

　　"After you passed out last night, a girl named Tokisaki Kurumi came to you and helped you speed up your recovery."

　　"..." Ryota was surprised, "Who?"

　　"Tokisaki Kurumi." Misaki asked suspiciously "Don't you know her?"

　　"I know, but… She shouldn't know me."

　　Ryota frowned.

　　"She doesn't know you? No way," Misaki said: "She even called out the name of your weapon."

　　"Ming Hong...?"

　　Ryota was even more confused.

　　What happened to Tokisaki Kurumi?

　　Could it be from another timeline?

　　Or... from the future?

　　After not being able to figure it out, Ryota stopped thinking and speculated:

　　"The Tokisaki Kurumi I know has the ability to travel through time. If she really knows me, she can only come back from the future."

　　"Time travel..."

　　Both Misaki and Hayasaka were slightly surprised.

　　Could a psyker even do this kind of thing?

　　"Don't talk about this first, it's useless to think about it now."

　　Ryota ended the topic and reminded the two of them:

　　"Alright, we're all here at the Sky Tree, so don't think about anything complicated, let's go shopping together today."

　　"Wait a moment, that Tokisaki, asked me to convey something to you."

　　Misaki said to Ryota: "Your time is running out, and don't despair anymore."

　　"I'm not desperate."

　　"I know, but he asked me to tell you."

　　"..."

　　The mood that Ryota had just cleared fell into a whirl of doubt again.

　　This sentence felt a bit inexplicable.

　　Time is running out for what?

　　Despair... He never gave up, why did he add the word "again"?

　　If Tokisaki Kurumi had returned from the future, she probably wouldn't have said that.

　　Could it be another timeline?

　　The world has been changed once?

　　No... maybe not.

　　He came to this world just five days ago, and he was invited to join the adventurers guild right after he arrived.

　　This must be the first time for him to join a guild, no doubt about it.

　　Just by changing the timeline of this world, it would be impossible for the adventure guild to restart and then revive.

　　No matter how he put it, the guild was a transcendent existence that connected many worlds.

　　How could it be influenced by the timeline of one world?

　　As for Tokisaki Kurumi changing the multiverse timeline… that was clearly impossible.

　　(It really... just gets complicated.)

　　Ryota shook his head and temporarily gave up thinking about it.

　　Misaki asked, "Did you think of anything, Shiro-chan?"

　　"No," Ryota shook his head and said, "Let's talk again when we see Tokisaki Kurumi."

　　"Okay." He clapped his hands, "Let's go to the Sky Tree first."

　　...

　　After the things that needed to be discussed were over.

　　The three finally relaxed and left the station.

　　Tokyo Sky Tree is Tokyo Sky Tree.

　　This is the representative building in Tokyo and the second tallest building in the world.

　　Located between Oshiage Station and Yehirahashi Station.

　　After Ryota's three arrived, they lined up and entered.

　　Hayasaka has already booked three tickets.

　　With rich women around, it was more worry-free in this regard.

　　Go up to the fourth floor, enter the tower from the observatory entrance, and the three of them take the lift to the Tembo Deck on floor 350.

　　From here they could see all of Tokyo.

　　Misaki pointed at the Tokyo Time and Space Navigator on the Tembo Deck with her finger, with great interest.

　　This kind of large touchscreen technology wasn't worth mentioning in Academy City.

　　But she didn't know why, she was just having fun playing and feeling very comfortable.

　　"Have you never been to the Sky Tree?" Ryota asked.

　　"Academy City espers can't just leave."

　　Misaki shook her head and said with a faint smile:

　　"The Adventurer's Guild really is a good platform to provide high-quality travel services."

　　"If the guild is aware, I'm afraid they will be the first to kick you out."

　　Ryota couldn't hold back his words.

　　"Shiro-chan! Let's go to the 445th floor! Floor 445!" Hayasaka said suddenly.

　　Her interest was also very high, and she even jumped up and down from time to time.

　　Just like a child.

　　He didn't know how long he hadn't gone out to play. Ryota's mood became complicated.

　　They say they're out to play together, but why does it feel like he's shopping with two young children?

　　"Let's go."

　　Suppressing the subtle feeling in his heart, Ryota nodded. So the three came to the sky corridor on the 445th floor.

　　This sloping corridor was about 100 meters long, it felt like walking on air, I must admit it was very enjoyable.

　　The three of them walked slowly through the corridor and reached the highest 450th floor.

　　The time has arrived at 6 p.m.

　　Tokyo welcomes the sunset.

　　After the twilight hour, the change in color temperature is especially beautiful.

　　"Shiro-chan, Shiro-chan, let's take a picture!"

　　Hayasaka took out her cellphone and handed it to Ryota, then posed for the camera.

　　The brilliance of the setting sun shone on the side of the girl's beautiful face, a pure smile with white teeth, full of sweetness and happiness.

　　Ryota pressed the screen of her cellphone, remembering this moment forever.

　　"Wait a minute, I want too!"

　　Misaki also handed her cell phone to Ryota, and smiled at the camera.

　　"Misaki-chan~ Let's shoot together."

　　Hayasaka quickly passed her.

　　"Go!"

　　"Haha, don't be shy."

　　The next second, Ryota shot the two of them twisted together.

　　"Puff..."

　　Misaki's disgusted expression made him smile.

　　"Why are you laughing!"

　　"Nothing." Ryota picked up her phone "I'll take another picture for you."

　　Then the three of them took pictures happily.

　　Other tourists took group photos for them.

　　After taking a picture, the three of them found a good location above, and then quietly enjoyed the gradually descending night view of Tokyo.

　　At a certain moment, Hayasaka quietly approached Ryota, touched his shoulder, and whispered:

　　"Shiro-chan, thank you, I haven't been this happy in a long time."

　　"You're welcome." Ryota's lips curled up. "I had fun too."

　　"Thank you very much."

　　Hayasaka turned her head, looked at Ryota's profile, and said softly:

　　"Thank you for giving me courage. Everything is the same as you said. Ojou-sama truly forgave me, and finally I don't have to feel guilty anymore. Thank You..."

　　"You're welcome, as long as you can be happy."

　　Seeing Hayasaka's innocent smile, Ryota was also happy for her.

　　Speaking of courage...

　　He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Misaki on the right.

　　The little girl was looking at the night view of Tokyo, her eyes were drunk, and she was a little dreamy.

　　Ryota reached his hand near her head, and caressed the soft honey-colored hair.

　　"...What is wrong?"

　　Misaki looked back and turned to look at him suspiciously.

　　Ryota asked a strange question:

　　"Misaki, are you afraid of ghosts?"

　　"Of course not."

　　"Yeah, actually there's nothing to be afraid of."

　　Ryota withdrew his hand.

　　He also gets courage from others.
