When Asakura came back to his senses, he found himself standing in the hotel room, with a bewildered Yanami in front of him, and his hand was pinching the other's small belly.
Perhaps his brain hadn't completely understood everything in front of him, Asakura subconsciously pinched the other's soft belly fat.
Then, possibly because the feel was very good, he pinched it again… …
"Too much?!" Yanami finally recovered from his frivolous actions, took half a step back, and said indignantly: "It's already too much to touch a girl's private parts like her belly, and you even pinched it so many times!"
Asakura stared blankly at his hand, seemingly savoring the feel just now in the eyes of others.
Seeing this, Yanami Anna was even more ashamed and angry. Fortunately, Yuigahama Yui and Gokou Ruri were smoothing her feathers by saying things like 'Asakura-kun is already very restrained' and 'Forget it, forget it, Senior Yanami', which barely suppressed the girl and prevented her from making noise and attracting Lemon Yakishio and the others outside.
At this time, Asakura had also sorted out his thoughts from the initial chaos—Yanami's belly fat is softer than her face.
No, wrong script.
It should be 'time has been rewound'.
The girl who suddenly appeared at the confession scene smashed a pocket watch, causing time to suddenly return from dusk to afternoon.
Asakura glanced at Yuigahama Yui, who was still trying to secretly pinch Yanami Anna's belly fat like him. The other's eyes revealed clarity, obviously different from him, and did not have the memory before the time rewind.
Did the Nameless Magic Book exempt him from memory loss, or did the "Scale" that he subconsciously released on himself at that moment prevent him from suffering the memory loss of the time rewind?
Previous experiences have proven that "Scale" can indeed isolate space, so can it also isolate the effects of time? If you wrap a dish with "Scale", will the state of that dish be fixed at that time, and will it never rot or deteriorate as long as the "Scale" does not disappear?
After keeping 'find some time to experiment' in his mind, Asakura slightly reviewed the situation and noticed something was wrong.
The uninvited guest's target was obviously Ayano Mitsuki or Lemon Yakishio, but the problem is, why could the other party find their whereabouts so accurately? You must know that the small lake is actually quite far from the hotel. Ordinary guests would not walk that far, let alone advance in the dark at that time.
GPS positioning or something?
No, at that time, in order to prevent accidents, Asakura had specifically confirmed that Ayano Mitsuki did not bring a mobile phone or other equipment. The yukata he was wearing was also newly changed after soaking in the hot spring, so there was no chance to put a tracker on him.
Then, did they learn about Ayano Mitsuki's location from others, such as Yanami and the others?
I'm afraid that's not the case either.
Although Yanami looks silly, she is actually quite delicate and sensitive. During the time of Lemon Yakishio's confession, she would not possibly reveal where the two of them were to strangers, and she would also prevent others from saying it (although only she and Gokou Ruri knew at that time).
Asakura took out his mobile phone and checked it. The current time is around 2:00 PM, but in fact, there are several messages in the mobile phone from after 2:00 PM, which are theoretically from the 'future'.
Very good, now I can confirm that the fact that I still retain my memory is indeed the effect of "Scale".
He rummaged through his phone, but did not see any messages from Yanami and the others, who were in contact with him before the time rewind, such as 'There is a strange person in the hotel'.
In other words, the uninvited guest didn't even appear in the hotel, but went straight to the small lake? Then this is too strange. The other party is simply like a 'prophet'.
"… … That's not right."
For some reason, Asakura always had a lingering sense of disharmony.
He always felt that he should have received a message from Yanami about that strange uninvited guest.
But there was no such message in the phone. In addition to the uninvited guest's seemingly predictive actions, combining these pieces of information… …
"The rewind happened more than once. Is the sense of disharmony because I didn't receive a message in the 'last loop'?"
"Asakura-kun, what are you talking about? Shouldn't you be repenting for what you did to me?" Yanami said indignantly.
"Sorry, Yanami, I'll apologize properly later. Yuigahama, come with me for a moment."
Asakura casually brushed off the indignant Yanami, then called Yuigahama to a secluded corner outside the inn.
After all, everything above was just his guess, but if time reversal really happened, and it wasn't the first time it reversed, given that "Scale" had a certain degree of protection against reversals, then there should be a decisive piece of evidence remaining.
"Yuigahama, call out your Napoleon."
"Is something wrong?" The girl said, extending her hand, and a small black snake swam out from the sleeve of her yukata, coiling around her arm, which was as white as a lotus root.
As a Golem with a certain degree of autonomous action capability, Napoleon actually possessed a certain level of artificial intelligence, though quite rudimentary. However, for Asakura at the moment, it was sufficient.
Because apart from him, the most likely to retain complete memories was this Golem, which was sealed by "Scale," or rather, constantly enveloped by "Scale."
"Answer my questions by nodding and shaking your head," Asakura instructed the small snake: "Nodding means yes, shaking your head means no. Do you understand?"
The small snake nodded.
"In your observation, has time reversed?"
The small snake showed no reaction, seemingly unable to comprehend the concept of time reversal.
Asakura frowned. It seemed he had to ask simpler questions.
"Time reversal?" Yuigahama Yui, on the other hand, looked at Asakura with a surprised expression: "As expected of Asakura-kun, you easily accomplished something we couldn't!"
"I didn't do it." Asakura immediately disavowed any connection.
He pondered for a moment, then changed the question: "I pinched Yanami—that blue-haired girl's stomach many times, right?"
The small snake nodded.
It seemed he hadn't guessed wrong.
Asakura suddenly thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and asked the small snake: "Did I leave anything inside your stomach today?"
The small snake nodded, then made a regurgitating motion and spat out a piece of paper from its mouth.
Asakura picked it up and saw that the handwriting on the paper was very sloppy, clearly written in an emergency, but it was still recognizable as his own handwriting.
It read—
"Next episode, the Death of Chihaya Asagumo."
"Don't be playing jokes at a time like this! At least leave me some useful information!"
