RNP Chapter 21 Brocade Bundle
Chapter 21 Brocade Bundle
Shichen ran to the vicinity of the station, looking around and circling, but he still couldn't see the familiar figure he had just glimpsed at the family restaurant.
With his eyesight, he couldn't possibly be mistaken; he would never mistake that figure for someone else.
The red and gray uniform resembling that of a female high school student, along with her short platinum blonde hair, finally reminded him why there were two Tokyo Towers in the world.
He never imagined that they existed in this world!
So, where is she?
Are they on a mission?
Did we just miss out like that?
Shi Chen felt a pang of emptiness in his heart, wondering when he would meet her again.
But just then, the mechanical voice in my head started to ring out.
[Target discovered for hosting a divine fragment!]
[Identical divine fragment detected!]
[Target: Chizuka Nishiki!]
[You can acquire the opponent's divine fragments at any time (currently unavailable)]
The prompts in his mind seemed to contain a lot of important information, but Shichen couldn't care less about that now. He turned around and looked behind him.
Without him noticing, a beautiful young woman was now standing prettily behind him.
She had bright red eyes, short white-yellow hair, a small tuft of hair on the left side of her head tied with a red ribbon, revealing her delicate left ear, and bangs that reached just to her eyes.
Her attire was the same one Shi Chen had just glimpsed: a red and gray dress resembling a JK uniform, with the hem falling to her knees, a blue ribbon bow tied at the neckline, black mid-calf socks on her calves, and brown round-toed leather shoes on her feet.
She had a sweet, radiant smile on her face, full of sunshine. However, what puzzled Shi Chen was that she was staring at him, her eyes revealing undisguised surprise, her small mouth slightly open.
It's like... knowing yourself.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Shi Chen was at a loss for how to react, his expression completely dominated by the other person.
"that......"
"Is he/she a benefactor?"
Just as Shi Chen opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the girl in front of him, who murmured a question.
"Benefactor?" Shi Chen frowned, puzzled.
"He must be my benefactor! I can't be wrong!" The girl excitedly moved closer to Shi Chen, looking him over from left to right, as if she wanted to imprint him in her heart.
Shi Chen found the girl's face quite adorable, but now was not the time to focus on that.
"Is there some mistake?"
"Is this Brother Shichen?" the girl asked directly.
"...How do you know my name?" Shi Chen was even more confused.
"It really is Brother Shichen!" The girl opened her arms and hugged Shichen without hesitation, pressing her face against his chest, and said excitedly, "I'm Chizuka! Brother Shichen, have you forgotten? You're the one who saved me!"
Shichen naturally knew who she was: Nishiki Chizuka, from the world of Lycoris Recoil.
The moment Shi Chen caught a glimpse of her, he thought of her, and at the same time, he thought of the background of the two Tokyo Towers in this world.
After all, the old Tokyo Tower was built by the girl in front of you.
However, Chizuka Nishiki's understanding is definitely different from his. In her opinion, the two of them seem to have met before.
But he had only been in this world for a short time, just half a month, how could he have met her?
Not to mention her benefactor.
Unless, he traveled through time.
Based on what Chizuka Nishiki said, he could easily guess what he might do in the future.
But how did I manage to do it?
Did they gain the ability to travel through time?
But now is not the time to think about that.
"Wait a minute." Shichen grabbed Jinmu Qian Shu's shoulders and pushed her away.
"Time... Big Brother?" Nishiki Chizuki looked at him in confusion.
Looking into Jinmu Qian Shu's red eyes, Shi Chen explained earnestly, "First of all, the me you know might be a little different from the me you know."
"?" Nishiki Chizuka tilted her head in confusion.
"...Well, you might not believe it, but I'm not your savior yet."
"Isn't Brother Shichen still Brother Shichen? He hasn't changed at all," said Nishiki Chizuki.
"What you said is true, but I haven't saved you yet; that's for the future me," Shi Chen explained patiently.
He was certain that his future self had indeed traveled through time, but judging from Chizuki Nishiki's behavior, she probably didn't know that he had traveled through time to save her.
Shichen did not want to enjoy Nishiki Chizuka's favor simply because of his future actions.
After all, he himself hasn't truly experienced it yet.
He needs to experience it himself firsthand; he even gets jealous of his own partner.
"I don't understand." Nishiki Chizuki shook her head.
"It's a very simple question. When did I save you?"
"Ten years ago!" Chizuka Nishiki replied with a bright smile.
"Ten years ago... So, how do you see any difference in me now?"
"Brother Shichen hasn't changed at all!"
"Yeah, isn't that strange? Ten years have passed, why haven't I changed at all?" Shi Chen asked back.
"Huh? Now that you mention it, Brother Shichen..." Jinmu Qianshu finally realized what was going on.
"Is it because Brother Shichen is too handsome? I've heard that really good-looking people don't change much."
"...Thank you for the compliment, but it's obviously not because of that."
"Really? But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Brother Shichen is Brother Shichen. I've finally found you!" Jinmu Qianshu didn't mind and was about to throw herself into his arms.
Shi Chen pressed her shoulders tightly: "Let me finish speaking first."
"Oh." Nishiki Chizuka smiled.
Shi Chen honestly confessed, "You might not believe it, but maybe I'll travel through time to save you in the future."
"Time travel?" Chizuka Nishiki blinked.
You probably don't believe me...
"No, I believe you~"
"...Don't blindly trust me like that."
"I truly believe in Brother Shichen, because Brother Shichen is no ordinary person."
"?"
This time, it was Shichen's turn to be puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Hehe~ When Brother Shichen saved me ten years ago, he was riding a giant, deep blue beast. That was obviously extraordinary, wasn't it?" Jinmu Qianshu asked with a smile.
"A deep blue behemoth?" Shi Chen frowned, not quite understanding what Jinmu Qian Shu was referring to.
"Yes, it stands on all fours, majestic and imposing."
"What other characteristics does it have?" Shichen asked.
"Hmm... I forgot, I only remembered the time, brother."
"..."
Shichen discovered that Nishiki Chizuka seemed to be quite good at flirting.
"Anyway, it's so great to see Brother Shichen! I've been looking for you for ten whole years!"
Nishiki Chisatsu was about to throw herself into Toki's arms again, and this time he didn't stop her.
"Ten years?" He gently patted her back.
"Yeah, I even went to China to look for you, but I couldn't find you at all."
"Idiot, that place is so big, how could you possibly find me?"
"Who told Brother Shichen to just leave like that, without taking me with him!"
"Since you believe I'm a time traveler, you understand I definitely can't take you with me, right?"
"I don't care! It's all Brother Shichen's fault!" Jinmu Qianshu rubbed against Shichen's chest, shaking her head in dissatisfaction. "Now that I've finally found you, you're not allowed to abandon me again!"
"Do you want to come with me?" Shi Chen asked, his heart fluttering.
"Of course, I've been looking for you for ten years!"
"Just because I saved you?"
"Isn't that enough? My heart condition was saved by Brother Shichen. Brother Shichen is like my second father."
"Your heart condition is fine now?" Shi Chen noticed the key point and asked excitedly.
Under normal circumstances, Chizuka Nishiki should have had an artificial heart implanted at this time, but due to technical limitations, it could not be used for a long period of time.
If her heart disease is truly cured, then there will be no need to worry about her health anymore.
No wonder I'm the future me!
"Yes, yes! It's all thanks to Brother Shichen." Jinmu Qianshu nodded with a smile.
"Great!" Shichen laughed happily.
"Hehe~ Brother Shichen is so gentle, I want to be with Brother Shichen!" Jinmu Qianshu laughed even more happily.
"And what's the situation with DA?"
DA stands for Direct Attack, an independent law enforcement organization in this world with immense privileges, including the authority to kill. However, its members are mostly teenagers.
"I left DA a long time ago," Chizuka Nishiki said proudly, tilting her head back.
"Have you left?"
"Didn't Brother Shichen tell me to live the life I want? I don't want to stay in DA anymore."
"So you've been looking for me all this time?"
"It was so hard to find," said Chizuka Nishiki, puffing out her cheeks.
"I see..." Shi Chen looked at her, touched. "It must have been very hard work, right? There must have been many inconveniences?"
"It's not hard work. I just need to find Brother Shichen. Besides, DA has helped me a lot. It's just that they ask me for help from time to time." Nishiki Chizuka pouted annoyingly.
Shi Chen reached out and ruffled her hair: "In that case, you can stay with me from now on."
"Um!"
