Tiangong City.

"It feels like there hasn't been much change here since before..."

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar street in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Hearing his mumbling, Shiono, who was standing beside Fang Zheng, couldn't help but raise her head and looked at him with some worry.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, do we really not need to go with Sister Kuang San?"

"That's Kurumi's own problem, just let her solve it herself."

Facing Shion's question, Fang Zheng shook his head and answered. When they returned to the world thirty years later, Kuang San used the excuse that she had something to deal with and separated from Fang Zheng and Shion. Although Kuang San didn't say what it was, Fang Zheng and Shion could guess that she must have gone to confirm whether the friend she had killed had been resurrected.

Since Kuang San didn't intend to let them follow, Fang Zheng and Shion would not go looking for trouble, after all, Kuang San also needed her own private space. However, in this way, Fang Zheng and Shion were a little idle... Although Fang Zheng could use the "Whispering Banner" to investigate Shion's past, Shion was obviously unwilling to recall the past. For her, the current "Elf Shion" was herself, and whether she was once a human was no longer important to Shion.

In that case, there is only one thing left to do.

"Let's go on a date."

Nothing has changed from before.

Holding Yoshino's hand, the two walked on the street, looking around leisurely. Although generally speaking, the current Tiangong City seemed to be the same as before, Fang Zheng could keenly feel that the shelter signs that were supposed to be located everywhere had disappeared, and the warship that had been hidden in the sky above Tiangong City for thousands of years had also disappeared.

When Fang Zheng and Shion walked to the square in front of the station, they happened to see an entertainment news broadcast on the big screen there.

"The 18th concert of the popular idol singer Tsukino Aoi has ended perfectly! Congratulations, Tsukino Aoi! You just won the platinum record award, and the tour has ended perfectly. Do you have anything to say now?"

As the reporter asked questions, a beautiful girl with long silver-purple hair and pupils appeared on the big screen. Seeing her appearance, many people in the square stopped and looked at the screen. From their reactions, this girl seemed to be a very popular idol singer.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tsukino Aoi."

The girl just smiled and waved at the camera before she spoke.

"If I have to say anything now, it is to thank all the fans who have supported me all the way. I still can't forget the support from all the fans after the smear scandal. At that time, even I thought I was going to die, and even thought about committing suicide... But when I came to the window, I found that there were still fans protecting me... At that time..."

Having said this, Xiao Dai Yue was silent for a moment.

"At that time... I realized that not everyone had given up on me. Even though many people didn't believe in me, there were still many of my fans who supported me. So, at that time, I made up my mind that no matter what, even for these fans, I would keep working hard!"

As she spoke, the girl bowed towards the camera.

"Thank you for your support. It is because of your support that I have grown from a little girl who only knew how to sing and dance to who I am today. I will never forget you all! I will continue to work hard to present more and better songs to you all! I hope you will continue to support me!"

“Ohhh…!”

Hearing the girl's words, many people in the square applauded.

"Xiaoyue, don't lose to those guys, we are here with you!"

A fat man wearing Tsukino idol costume raised his hand high, stared at the screen in front of him and shouted loudly. Judging from his attire and the glow sticks waving in his hands, he should be a fan who is preparing to attend the concert.

It's really lively...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head, then turned around and left with Yoshino.

But just as they passed by the bookstore, they saw two children walking out, holding the monthly comic magazine in their hands as if they had found a treasure.

"Hey, look, Kotori, this is Mr. Honjo Souji's new work, "Date a live!" How is it? It's great, isn't it?"

A boy with short blue hair, who looked about 13 or 14 years old, was waving a monthly comic book in his hand excitedly. At the same time, he turned around and spoke to the girl with red twin ponytails beside him.

"Look here, this little sister's setting is very similar to you, but she's not a crybaby. Kotori, how about you change the ribbon to black? Maybe you can be as cute as her?"

"Does my brother like girls like this?"

The girl called Kotori looked at the character in the comics, then hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"I understand. I will work hard to be the kind of strong girl my brother likes!"

"Of course, but my lovely sister is still my lovely sister no matter what she becomes!"

The boy laughed happily, but because he turned around to talk, he did not notice Fang Zheng and Yoshino walking past the bookstore. Then the boy bumped into Fang Zheng and fell to the ground with a scream.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Looking at the boy who rushed out of the bookstore rashly, Fang Zheng smiled and extended his hand to him. The boy was stunned for a moment, then held Fang Zheng's hand and stood up.

"It's okay, sorry, big brother..."

"Shidou, you're such a fool. I've told you so many times to be careful when walking..."

A middle-aged woman wearing OL clothes and looking smart and capable walked out of the bookstore. When she saw Fang Zheng, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"I'm sorry that my child has caused you trouble..."

"No, it's nothing. I didn't notice it myself."

Facing the woman's apology, Fang Zheng waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care. The woman breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the boy with a serious expression.

"Shidou, how many times have I told you that you can't be more cautious in front of your sister? We are on the street, you must always pay attention to your left and right..."

“Woo…”

Hearing his mother's lecture, the boy showed a helpless expression and lowered his head. Well... Fang Zheng could understand this. She must be a real mother to be able to scold her child in front of outsiders without any concern.

"What's wrong? Haruko?"

At this moment, a voice sounded. Fang Zheng turned around and saw a man with a neutral face and short blue hair walking over from the other side. Looking at the scene in front of him, the man showed a slightly troubled expression. But when the boy heard the man's voice, he immediately jumped up as if he had found a friendly force and rushed behind the man.

"Dad! You're back, come and help me, Mom is nagging again!"

"Mashi, you can't spoil the child too much."

Seeing the man coming over, the lady named Haruko immediately put her hands on her hips.

"It's all because you dote on me so much, so..."

This is ordinary, everyday life that can be seen everywhere.

Nothing has changed at all.

Standing under the tree beside the street, looking at the gate not far away and the doorplate "Yamada", Kuang San took a deep breath. Although at this time, as long as the clone is used, it is easy to know the situation inside. But this time, Kuang San decided to rely on her own strength to confirm everything.

It's okay, I have changed the future, it will be okay...

She was mumbling to herself in her heart, but for some reason, she felt her hands were shaking slightly. For a moment, she even regretted not letting Fang Zheng and Shiono come with her. Maybe if they were here, she wouldn't be so nervous. At least...

"Hahaha……"

Just when Kuang San made up her mind to press the doorbell, suddenly, a low laugh came from the courtyard. Hearing this laugh, Kuang San's body trembled suddenly. Then she hesitated for a moment, turned around, walked to the fence next to her, and looked inside.

In the courtyard, a woman was sitting on a chair, playing with a ginger cat in her arms. The ginger cat in her arms looked only two or three months old, small and extremely cute. The woman was playing with it and laughing softly.

Although it was a little different, Kuang San still saw the shadow she had been thinking about day and night on that face...

"Why?"

Perhaps she noticed someone was looking at her, so she raised her head and looked in the direction of Kuang San. After seeing Kuang San, the woman showed a surprised expression.

"Who are you……"

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Kuang San bowed her head, saluted the woman, and then turned and left quickly. But just as she walked to the corner and was about to sneak into the shadows, suddenly, a voice sounded from behind her.

"Kyousan-san!"

Hearing the call, Kuang San stopped, she turned around and looked behind her. She saw the woman rushing out of the gate holding the kitten, and ran to her side panting. She widened her eyes in surprise, looked at Kuang San carefully, and then smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry... I think I mistook you for my friend..."

"friend?"

"Yes... She looks a lot like you... Very much like you. To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought it was her, but when I think about it, so many years have passed..."

Having said that, the woman sighed and shook her head.

"I'm sorry to stop you. I was rude."

"No, nothing..."

Hearing the woman's answer, Kuang San replied softly, then she raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her.

"Your... that friend, she..."

"She's missing."

Having said that, the woman closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"Missing?"

"Yes, we were still in high school at the time, and I invited her to our house, but she disappeared after that, and no one knew where she went. The police thought she might have run away from home, but I knew she wasn't that kind of person..."

As she spoke, the woman gave Kuang San a wry smile.

"I'm sorry for saying that to you."

"nothing."

Kuang San shook her head and then looked at the kitten in the woman's arms.

"What a cute kitten."

"It's called Chestnut Ball. It's our little chestnut's baby. It was born not long ago. It's very cute, isn't it?"

As the woman spoke, the kitten in her arms poked its head out, stretched out its claws towards Kuang San, and called out softly. Kuang San also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and stroked the kitten's head. Feeling Kuang San's touch, the kitten cried out happily.

"What a cute little fellow..."

"Yes, this lady."

At this moment, the woman suddenly thought of something.

"Would you like to have a cup of tea together? You must be interested in cats, too. If possible, why don't we chat about it..."

“No thanks, Sawa.”

"Why?"

Hearing Kuang San's answer, the woman's smile suddenly froze. Kuang San took two steps back and stared at her.

"Very cute child, as cute as chestnut, thank you, then... goodbye."

"Kyousan-san?!"

The woman stretched out her hand, trying to grab Kuang San. But at the same time, a gust of wind whistled past, forcing the woman to turn around and avoid it. When she turned around again, there was no one in front of her.
