"I understand. That means you are also—"
"Right, that's right. The so-called darkness beneath the lamp—they think they have complete control over me, so they don't bother to pay attention to my little tricks. And that's actually true. If I don't have the ability to try and fail, even if I keep leaving little traces, things may not develop in the direction I want—"
The Cheshire Cat tapped the table. "But you're different—you now have the ability to make mistakes and see the changes that come from small details. You can clearly judge the changes through different gears..."
She was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Perhaps it would be beneficial for me if you carefully tried every option at every stage—however, you're the only card I currently hold to help me with this, and I really don't want you to fail. So, I'm giving you some sincere advice—don't be too reckless. You don't need to try every option at every node. Running until the end and then looking back will make you less likely to get bored. Otherwise, you'll have already seen every difference, and if you go back to try again, the resistance you feel will only grow stronger."
"I understand."
She lowered her fingers and quietly placed them on her knees.
"Hey, hey, maybe it's better not to be so blunt—I'm a little embarrassed that you obeyed me so easily—in terms of control, of course a toy that obeys my orders would be better, but even reading novels where you know the ending as soon as you open the beginning will eventually get boring. That's why characters like Doraemon in cartoons keep people fresh—even though they're just childcare robots, a special kind of toy, they keep bringing new toys. No matter who you are, they would be attracted to such toys, right?"
"If you like dogs, or if you like to improve yourself through hard work, you probably won't like it—"
"Really?" The Cheshire Cat expressed doubt. "But, this question has nothing to do with cat or dog. As for being able to easily achieve the success you desire without any effort, I imagine most people still have a subtle desire for this kind of convenience. While success that isn't achieved step by step by oneself might lack flavor, wouldn't it be wonderful to skip all the processes that would dampen passion and retain only the passion for one's dreams?"
“…”
"So, although I previously suggested the possibility that my mother might be secretly controlling everything, you know—my mother mounted the system. Perhaps she gradually strayed from her ideal state during countless save and load times, leading to her suicide. It's said that those who want to get the most wheat in a wheat field will end up with nothing because they hesitate to act—"
The Cheshire Cat slid the chair forward and heard the click of a mouse.
However, I only heard the click of the mouse, but I didn't see where to put the mouse.
From the reflection of her large pupils, I saw nothing but emptiness——
Empty wall.
There was no table or chair, but there was a click of a mouse.
Three archive pages popped up on the screen——
Similar to what I saw, but filled with black blocks—black blocks, numbers covered by mosaics—
But the up and down positions are wrong.
The number for my save slot is at the bottom, but the number displayed on the laptop screen is not at the bottom, but right at the top.
The size of the black screen that replaces the screen is also different——
