Tokyo: Oreimo

"Okabe—"

"Oh my god, I have to save Mayuri!"

"But what if it fails..."

If it fails, it will turn into a 'jelly banana', right?

Ling Nai thought to herself.

"No, if it's just memory transfer, that kind of thing won't happen. You'll most likely just die, right?"

But this is the only way to save Mayuri.

"Okabe Rintaro, there's a past!"

A voice called out to Amane Reiha; everything happened too fast, and the girl seemed to have been knocked down.

Gunshots rang in my ears.

"Kill him, don't let them use the machines."

Following instructions from Kiryu Moeka, someone stumbled into the development room.

Rintaro Okabe activated the Future Device No. 4, "Gas Snake," and instantly the laboratory was filled with white smoke.

"These seemingly useless props can actually come in handy at crucial moments."

Okabe's so-called research often produces a lot of useless and dangerous gadgets, though they do occasionally come in handy.

Because the view was blocked, it seemed safe for the time being.

The machine started up, and a flashing electric light effect appeared on the screen.

"Okabe—"

Makise Kurisu called out, followed by a gunshot.

Bright red blood splattered on the screen.

"Damn it!"

Ling Nai let out a sob. She saw that Makise Kurisu had also been shot dead, and the girl's eyes turned red.

At the same time, the phone's interface pops up on the right side of the screen.

You can now make your selection.

The blonde girl quickly performed the operation, selecting "Telephone Microwave Oven (tentative)" and clicking the mouse.

"Mayuri...Christina...I won't die!"

"To save you, I will travel through time...!"

"Wait for me!"

"Jump—my memories—jump to the past!"

A flash of white light appeared on the screen, and countless numbers interspersed with lines appeared on the screen before finally fading into darkness.

"Did it work?"

Ling Nai wasn't sure if she had gathered all the necessary elements for a successful time jump; she couldn't be certain of that.

I was terrified that the word 'BADEND' would appear on the screen.

But she was clearly overthinking it.

Chapter Six: Metaphysical Death.

The subtitles that appeared on the screen made the girl breathe a sigh of relief.

This means she has successfully moved on to the next chapter.

"Time jump was successful."

.....

Jumping from the future to the present is such an absurd thing that no one would believe it.

But Ling Nai actually felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to tell Makise Kurisu about it.

Given that genius female scientist's intelligence, she should be able to understand it, after all, she was the one who proposed the theory.

There was no opportunity to act, so we could only continue pushing forward with the main storyline.

Watching Okabe frantically searching for Mayuri on the screen like a headless fly, Ryouno felt utterly miserable.

Can they escape?

But if Ling Nai were to make the choice herself, she couldn't seem to think of a better solution.

It seems the only thing we can do is get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

On the screen, Okabe finds Mayuri on the street and, without saying a word, drags her along as they run to the station.

"Once we get on the bus and leave Akihabara, we should be safe for the time being."

Ling Nai felt the same way.

But it wasn't until she arrived at the station that she remembered.

"All trains on the Yamanote Line, Keihin-Tohoku Line, and Soso Radio have suspended operations."

"Because of the terrorist bombing warning, the train service was suspended. Measures were taken in advance to prevent Okabe from escaping, and the entire Akihabara was sealed off?"

"Caught red-handed?"

Ling Nai looked at the dialogue box and saw that Okabe seemed to have a gun pressed against his back.

SERN's people mingled into the crowd.

Fortunately, due to the chaos of the surroundings, Okabe seized the opportunity and successfully escaped.

But before Ling Nai could even catch his breath, he, as the protagonist, was knocked down again.

"Mayuri, run!"

Okabe only had time to let out a roar before Mayuri obediently ran away, but the next moment, a vehicle flashing white light appeared on the screen.

Ling covered her mouth.

"The one who died was Shiina Mayuri. Okabe-kun... no, Okabe Rintaro has been captured."

Mayuri has died again.

This is the second time.

Ling Nai advanced the plot, watching Okabe escape back to the Lab, and activated the time jump again.

This time, Okabe didn't waste any extra time looking for Mayuri. He went to the shrine immediately and happened to run into Mayuri.

"Good, the tram station hasn't been blocked off yet at this time."

Ling Nai recalled that the tram stopped operating at 8 PM.

This time, Okabe and Mayuri fooled SERN's trackers and arrived at the station at 7:50.

"No problem, once you get on the tram, you'll be fine!"

"Mayuri will not die."

"Next, we need to figure out how to deal with SERN, those bad guys!"

Takashiro Ryouno was furious, especially since her feelings towards Kiryu Moeka had become extremely negative.

"You just wait, I'll come back to you next time I play through the game, and I'll dump you the moment my affection for you reaches its peak!"

There must be a bad ending, right? For this kind of female character, let's make an exception and be the bad guy this time, use her and then throw her away.

Is there any other way to get revenge on characters in a game besides this method?

"If I'm still not satisfied, I'll just take it out on that guy."

Ling Nai thought angrily as she continued to advance the plot.

Clicking the mouse brought up familiar lines in the dialog box.

"Huh? Mayu's pocket watch has stopped."

"That's strange, it was just wound up."

Okabe on the screen didn't pay attention to those words, but Ayano, as the player, had a completely different reaction.

"Flag... Could this be a death flag?"

The same sentence will never appear a second time without reason.

Especially the scripts that guy wrote.

"Mayuri-neechan~"

A little girl's voice came from the speaker.

Then, on the screen, Mayuri's portrait seemed to be pushed by something and detached from the frame.

A bad feeling crept into my heart.

After clicking the mouse, the screen is filled with the head of a speeding tram, and in the very center is Mayuri, who has lost her balance and is falling onto the tracks.

"It's fake, right...."

Ling Nai instinctively covered her mouth.

Staring blankly at the little girl standing there with a terrified expression on her face in the computer screen.

Tennoji Tao is the daughter of the owner downstairs.

"I...I didn't mean to...I just wanted to scare my sister...that's all."

Mayuri dies again.

Cause of death: Run over by an incoming tram.

"What...what are you talking about?"

"We were about to escape... This way of dying... just doesn't seem right!?"

Takashiro Ryouno almost threw the mouse away.
