Chapter 145, Fifty-Seventh Cycle (17)
Hiroki Sawada decided to live.
He also believed that Sakura truly had the ability to rescue him, allowing him to escape Thomas's control and pursuit, and also help him avoid the attention of the black-clad organization.
Although Sakura was really troublesome, they were already friends, and friends shouldn't hold grudges. They would experience more things together and help each other in the future.
Hiroki Sawada decides to believe in cherry blossoms.
but……
Noah: If I could, I would definitely want to go back to my country, and bring Noah's Ark back to help build our homeland together.
Thump—thump—
Rei Furuya gripped his clothes tightly at his chest, his breathing trembling slightly, but he was not yet on the verge of death.
This serves as a warning to the world.
Will Hiroki's survival also affect the world's programming?
But he clearly had no real contact with the organization. By the time the organization tried to find him after resolving the trouble caused by Shuichi Akai, he had already committed suicide. Even if he were alive now, Rei Furuya wouldn't allow him to have any contact with the organization, so the change probably isn't due to this aspect.
So, is it because Hiroki himself is too powerful that the world line shifted because Hiroki brought Noah's Ark back to his country with the intention of changing it? Is it because the world program predicts that Hiroki will have a significant impact on the main storyline of the protagonist destroying the organization?
But it's okay, the heart pain isn't severe, and the change to the world line is only a little over 1%, which is still a long way from 2%.
Despite the pain in his heart, Rei Furuya struggled to type on his phone.
[Sakura: Of course! It's even safer in China. I can arrange for you to stay somewhere suitable. Don't worry, I have several good friends there, and I'm sure you'll like them.]
[Sakura: But if we fake our death, Noah's Ark won't be able to continue appearing. You'll have to live in anonymity for the next two or three years. Is that alright?]
The heart pain has eased a bit, so it seems that this was indeed the cause.
Noah: Of course, no problem!
Noah: Actually, I'm kind of happy (happy.jpg)
Noah: I'm always working, and I'm actually quite tired. Experiencing a few years of ordinary student life is what I want to do most right now. Changing the world isn't something that happens overnight. During this long period, I also want to play happily with my friends like ordinary kids and slowly grow up.
Noah: You see, since my work is the same as yours, I can do it online with my identity completely hidden. Noah's Ark also needs time to grow, so two or three years is just right.
Noah: To be honest, it was already beyond my expectations that it would only take two or three years. In fact, I was prepared to live in anonymity for the rest of my life.
The pain in my heart has completely disappeared.
Rei Furuya breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, thankful that Hiro wasn't there.
I'll tell everyone more after things are resolved.
On the other side, Hiroki Sawada's fingers hesitated as he repeatedly tried to type the sentence on the keyboard, but in the end, he still couldn't type it out.
Wanting to live near Sakura, wanting to meet him, etc., is probably still a bit inappropriate.
Sakura has kept her identity hidden for so long, such a request must be causing him distress.
After all, if she could live with him, she would definitely notice that Sakura, whom he was really looking forward to, wouldn't remain silent. Arranging for him to stay with a friend she trusted already shows that Sakura is currently in a very inconvenient situation and it's not suitable for her to meet him.
[Sakura: You don't need to wait a lifetime. Just wait two more years, three at most. After the organization is destroyed, you can resume your identity as Hiroki Sawada and live with your father.]
This kind of future is a wonderful development that Hiroki Sawada never dared to imagine.
Not only can they escape the control of terrible adults, but they can also live freely, achieve their ideals with like-minded friends, and have the opportunity to openly restore their identity and meet and live with their father...
Noah: Thank you, Sakura. I'm so grateful. If there's anything I can do to help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best, even if it costs me my life.
[Sakura: I'm telling you, friends don't need to be so formal about saying thank you. Isn't it natural for friends to help each other? Being too polite can be a bit awkward (angry.jpg)]
Hiroki Sawada touched his nose sheepishly, but eventually managed to laugh.
Okay, because they're friends.

"You're going to put him with Professor Agasa?" Morofushi Hiromitsu was a little surprised. "I thought it would be Matsuda. Doesn't Matsuda rent a house next to Professor Agasa? Although he didn't live there often before, he can move there now, right? It would be more convenient to arrange things with Matsuda, wouldn't it? What did you say to Professor Agasa?"
Rei Furuya shook his head: "Matsuda and the others are police officers after all, they are too busy to raise children. Hiroki needs a more normal environment now, and Professor Agasa's place is very good. Moreover, his neighbor Shinichi Kudo is a smart and kind boy just like him, and they will definitely become good friends."
“Sakura and Professor Agasa have a very good relationship. I used Sakura’s identity to tell Professor Agasa about Hiroki’s situation, and Professor Agasa immediately agreed.” He smiled. “Professor Agasa is a person and likes children to live with him, let alone a smart, well-behaved, and unfortunate genius research boy like Hiroki. They live together very well.”
“Indeed.” Morofushi Kagemitsu asked again, “Won’t it matter if the Kudo family sees Hiroki? You’re not planning to disguise him, are you? It’s just a name change, but it won’t fool Kudo Yusaku, will it?”
Hiroki Sawada's father is a classmate and friend of Yusaku Kudo. He had met Hiroki Sawada before and would definitely notice something was wrong. Hiromitsu Morofushi is worried that this will cause a butterfly effect and lead to problems with Zero's Sakura identity.
"Actually, I'm more worried that letting someone as powerful as Hiroki get close to the main characters will cause you trouble. Doesn't your heart hurt?" Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at his childhood friend with concern, as if he wanted to drag him for another checkup.
Rei Furuya smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, Hiroki isn't a main character, so he's not in much danger. Besides, he already had a connection with Shinichi Kudo, so this is just an earlier acquaintance. It's not a big deal and won't cause the world line to change by more than 2% and kill me."
Moribu Kagemitsu stared at him, lost in thought.
Jiangu Ling's expression remained unchanged.
He wasn't lying; it's true.
But to prevent Hiro from continuing to press him about whether his heart had ever hurt, it's best to quickly change the subject and shift his attention.
"Furthermore, I plan to let Yusaku Kudo know about Hiroki Sawada directly. I'll have Professor Agasa explain it to him. After this period of time passes, I can also tell Hiroki's father so that he knows Hiroki is still alive, just that they can't meet for the time being."
“It’s alright, don’t worry. Now we just need to think about how to safely rescue Hiroki,” he said. “I plan to go and rescue him myself.”
Morofushi Hiromitsu's attention was successfully diverted, and he opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Zero is going to America to save him personally?"
“Yes, I was going to America anyway.” Rei Furuya sighed impatiently. “Things in the organization are basically stable now. You’re in the intelligence group, Gin is in the action group, and the boss wants me to continue hunting down Shuichi Akai in America and kill him with Vermouth.”
Although he was indeed happy to cause trouble for Shuichi Akai, he didn't want to see Shuichi Akai at all, let alone go to the FBI at this time.
Since there's nothing I can actually do to Shuichi Akai anyway, I'm getting even more frustrated.
Furthermore, Shuichi Akai has several misunderstandings and has no idea what he might say or do that would infuriate Rei Furuya and trigger his madness. Rei Furuya is genuinely reluctant to go to Shuichi Akai.
"I see. What a pity. I haven't fully mastered the art of disguise yet. I can only maintain the masks you made. The ones I make myself can barely fool ordinary people." Morofushi Hiromitsu said regretfully, "If we can't deal with Akai Shuichi, how long will Zero stay there?"
"It won't be long, I'll be back by the end of the year at the latest." Furuya Rei answered without hesitation, "I won't miss the squad leader's death throes next February."

September 20th.
The suicide of the prodigy Hiroki Sawada caused quite a stir.
Thomas Schindler, the owner of the Schindler Company who adopted him, was also affected by public opinion. Many people speculated that he had exploited Hiroki too much, which led the ten-year-old boy to commit suicide by jumping into the sea under unbearable pressure, ultimately resulting in his tragic death with no remains.
Hiroki Sawada's biological father, Tadahiro Kashimura, was also unable to accept this fact. He went to the United States to question Thomas Schindler, but as an ordinary person without evidence, he was powerless against a business tycoon in the IT industry. He could only take away the DNA tracking system that Hiroki had entrusted to him before his death.
Ultimately, the genius boy who had just astonished the world passed away like a shooting star, and the Noah's Ark, hailed as the greatest invention in human history, was never successfully created, leaving countless people with regret.
Upon seeing this news, the organization's boss remembered that he had once sent someone to investigate the genius boy's background in an attempt to recruit him, but he completely forgot about the plan because of Shuichi Akai's situation.
What a pity.

September 23rd.
Tokyo, Beikacho.
A child named Ai Orikasa moves into Professor Agasa's house, claiming to be a relative of his and temporarily living with him due to some unforeseen circumstances.
When he first heard the name, Shinichi Kudo thought it was a girl, until he met the person and realized it was a boy, which caused a little misunderstanding.
"A boy?!" Shinichi Kudo exclaimed in shock.
The gentle boy wasn't angry. He smiled shyly but also very openly and happily, saying, "Yes, although people often mistake it for a girl's name, I still really like it."
He formally extended his hand to Shinichi Kudo and said earnestly, "Hello, Shinichi Kudo, nice to meet you. I am Ai Orikasa. Please take care of me from now on."
He was reborn because of love, so he named himself Love.
A love for the beautiful world and a new life, and love for friends and family.
On the night Noah's Ark was born, Hiroki Sawada was also reborn.
Noah's Ark: Hello, World!
Hello World.
