Chapter 40 - Chapter 8 (part 4)

Hirumi was thinking about the percentage of them being caught but all of that just made her wonder. If Hana is that strong, then why would she run away and not fight? Is it because if she's alone? But if she's alone, won't she be able to gain an ally?

As Hirumi was thinking about that, suddenly Hana then replied,

"Well, it is because there are a lot of various things that shocked me at that time. Plus, if you remember. I did say that this world is not created yet until the both of you come right?"

Hirumi then realized it. But somehow it just made her wonder why did that kind of thing happened when they came. Won't it should exist even before they come? That Hana would live normally as they did there?

Hana then chuckled and she then told Hirumi that she was pretty sure that Hirumi would realize about it one day. But all she can say about that is, that world. Quantum World is the world that has been created based on someone's memory. She was not sure why. But when Quantum World is connected to Quantum Memory, that kind of thing happens. Maybe it is because that person wanted that kind of world to exist? Or is it because of other things?

When Hana said that to Hirumi, she then began to wonder about it. Because of it, it was the world that certain people wanted to live in, based on how he is. Hirumi was so sure that he wanted to live in a peace and harmony. But then why did it become a fight? Is it because that person wanted to fight, as he once said? That he will fight until he dies? Or is it just because of he wanted to have fun?

Those words then just make Hirumi wonder. If Aikari thought about it the other way, won't it change the fate of that world and everything? Since everything is just what he wanted it to be. 

Maybe she should ask Aikari out about it? But what if it doesn't change anything? Plus Aikari is currently on the trip to another world. Maybe she should wait for him to ask him to return so. But won't it will be long? Just how long will it be?

Thinking about it just somehow makes Hirumi eager to know about it. Because of that, Hana then told Hirumi to close her eyes and focus. Hirumi was so weird about that sudden request, but she just did so. 

Hirumi then closed her eyes and, as she was focusing, she then saw a girl in a red hair inside a blank black space.

Aigawa was about to say something to Hirumi but that's until she saw Hirumi was sleeping there. She then just smiles awkwardly and covers Hirumi with a warm blanket. 

She wasn't sure what kind of things would happen next, but she could feel that something was going to happen soon. But maybe her and her kingdom won't get involved with it. Even so, she hopes that she can help with everything that she can. She's been close with Ti-kou and Ba-cin recently. She just hopes they're safe too. 

(Hirumi Situation)

As when Hirumi closes her eyes, she begins to lose her body consciousness, and somehow she sees a blank black space. That space kind of reminds her of Quantum Memory on where did she saved Aikari before. 

She could see a girl in a red hair in front of her. The girl then looked at her and said.

"It's me, Hana."

Hirumi was so shocked as she saw Hana in front of her. But this time, it feels real. That she saw Hana like she was standing in front of her in real life. 

Hana goes to Hirumi and she lends Hirumi a hand to stand up, Hirumi then takes Hana's hand and Hana pulls her up. 

Hana then introduced herself, and she then also told Hirumi about what was happening there,

"While imprisoned in this space, I was able to master a lot of things. This spell is the spell that only affects you. But it doesn't mean that I target something on you. But it is because I have something that I want to tell you. And I want you to do it. To save this world."

Hirumi actually didn't feel like she wanted to agree with it. However, she believes that it was the only thing that she could do to help this world. So it was her opportunity to do it. She can also save Hana. So she then nods and tells Hana that she wanted to accept it and she wanted to free her from that place.

Hana nods in agreement. She could see how much serious and determined Hirumi was about it. So she then holds both of Hirumi's hands, and she touches her head with Hirumi's.

As their forehead touched, Hirumi could see a flash of Hana's memories.

(Several months ago)

Hana was walking alone on the street. Wearing a bag with a keychain of a single red flower. Hana was walking alone and she saw a random guy. That guy looked at her and she looked away.

When that guy saw Hana was alone, he didn't think that he should approach Hana. But somehow he thinks that Hana would be interested in it. So she then goes to Hana and gives her a paper.

"Sorry, miss. Would you like to join-"

Hana just passed by and ignored the guy. But that's until she heard.

"We're currently working on a new software of Virtual World. Which is inspired by some old mechanics. We're currently working on building a Virtual World where the people would play and have fun with a new kind of system."

When Hana heard that guy say about the 'New System,' she then stopped walking and asked. 

"New system? May I know what kind it is?"

That guy then quickly lends Hana the details and he told Hana to come there by the time he came. The gathering would be on the next day. He invited a lot of people by this way. But he wasn't able to spread it online since it was private. So Hana agreed on it and she then took the poster with her home.

As when Hana was walking, she stopped by the group of people. All of those people then looked at Hana and they all waved at Hana.

"Hey, Hana! Come here!"

Hana saw them waving at her. She put the poster in her bag and then went to them. As soon as Hana came to them, they all then began to have a chit chat about their life. They all keep talking about the academy and work.

"Hey, actually it's awesome that you have been accepted to be in such an academy, Hana. That's really cool. I'm sure that you will be happy, don't you?"

As when Hana was walking, she stopped by the group of people. All of those people then looked at Hana and they all waved at Hana.

"Hey, Hana! Come here!"

Hana saw them waving at her. She put the poster in her bag and then went to them. As soon as Hana came to them, they all then began to have a chit chat about their life. They all keep talking about the academy and work.

"Hey, actually it's awesome that you have been accepted to be in such an academy, Hana. That's really cool. I'm sure that you will be happy, don't you?"

Hana nods in happiness and she then tells her friends that she didn't expect such a thing to happen. But maybe because of the luck that was on her side that she was able to do so. But when Hana said that, all of her friends said that she was wrong about that and all of them could see how hard she worked on the examination and project that could surprise the academy that she wanted to be in. All of her hard work finally paid off. 

Hana agreed with them and she then told them that she was so excited about it. But there are just certain things that doubted her and she doesn't get why. She would like to take on the offer but something seems to be happening soon.

Hearing that from Hana, it just made her friends to be weird about it. So they asked Hana what had happened recently and Hana just responded with a smile. She said that she got something that is bothering her. But she told them that it was nothing to be worried about. So they just continue to walk while talking about their life and things.

When all of them arrived at the bus stop, one of her friends saw the red flower keychain, and she then asked Hana, "You have been wearing that for a long time. Is that your charm or something?" Hana looked at where did her friend was looking and saw that her friend was talking about that red flower keychain. So she then grabs it and says.

"I don't know, but this flower somehow seems to be important to me. I found it randomly when I was packing up my room and it just picked up my interest. I don't remember if I had any before. Maybe it's from my family. So I just use it here. It's beautiful, right?"

All of her friends looked at it and they agreed with it. It's true that it looks beautiful. But when they are looking at the flower, it reminds them of something. So one of them then asked Hana.

"Come to think of it, Hana-chi. You never dated anyone in our school, right? That makes me wonder if you are gonna get married one day."

Hana just laughed. She doesn't look worried about it at all, and she then tells her friend that dating anyone doesn't mean they will marry that person. Sometimes life is just cursed up. It doesn't go as well as they want. Not everyone will be there for them forever. So that's why she chose to just stay by herself. So that way, she won't hurt herself. 

Hearing that, her friends agreed with her. But they tell her that she has good looks and also certain things that might get a boy attracted to her. It's a waste that she doesn't date anyone. But they all hope that she can find someone to get married soon.

Hana then just smiled and laughed about it. She told them that they're not so different from each other about that. But there's only one thing that kind of keeps appearing on her head. Which is what is the point of loving someone is and getting loved? She never had any relationship before. But she never thought it was important. 

As she was thinking about that, one of her friends pointed at the cafe and asked if all of them wanted to have a little drink there. Everyone agreed on it, but Hana wanted to reject it and go away. But one of her friends pulls her and says "Let's go, Hana." All of them then head to the cafe together. Having a chit chat and ordering a coffee.

When her friends are talking, Hana takes a look at her phone for a while, and she then receives a message from a certain person.

"Hey, congrats on your graduation. Mind if I want to ask you something?"

It was a message from a guy that got rejected by Hana many times. Hana didn't block her since they're a classmates. Hana always rejects him because of she didn't want to get into any relationship. Plus that guy is not good at all. There's been a lot of rumors about him doing a bad things to other students in the school. So Hana just doesn't want to get involved with that kind of person. Hana didn't want to reply. But she then just replied.

"Haha, thanks for that. But what else do you want? If it's about a date, then sorry. I really don't have any interest in you. So hope that you will open your eyes and see the reality."

That man then replied with a laughing emoji and began to type out a reply.

"Oh fine. If you say so. I'm so sure that in the future you will get your payback. Everything is over now. So I don't think there's a need for this chat anymore."

That person then blocked Hana. Hana then felt relieved about it, and she then turned off her phone and joined a chit chat with her friends about their future.

Hana was always hoping that she would be able to be with someone and support him all the way. But maybe that was just a dream. Because it's hard to meet a guy who could help her reach that. So achieve what she wanted as she never met once in her life.
