Travel through Kivotos and become Kamen Rider Saber

"Hmm? How is it possible..."

I was a little annoyed and was about to retort, but my body greedily absorbed the sugar in the cake, making my mind excited and happy.

It was then that I noticed the girl in front of me with a look of "How do you feel?" I straightened up awkwardly and nodded slowly.

"……much better."

"Anyway, let's eat first and talk about the details later."

As soon as Nashinoya finished speaking, the waiter from Hyakuya Hall walked briskly over to the two of them with a tray and placed it on the table.

At the same time, she introduced it in a voice as sweet as candy:

"Okay~ This is the Happy Meal for two, please enjoy it slowly, meow~"

Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 82: Yuka and Noah

Facing the plate in front of me, I picked up the food with chopsticks and put it into my mouth bit by bit. The salty and sweet sauce soon filled my mouth.

“…I’m very reluctant, but it’s delicious.”

"As long as you like it."

Noah nodded with a smile, and I ate without caring about my image, pouring the food on the plate into my mouth.

Soon, the originally shriveled stomach swelled up, and the brain became a little sleepy due to the intake of a large amount of food, making people unable to help but fall into a deep sleep.

"Okay, okay, sorry for the wait! This is the dessert from the set menu! Please enjoy!"

As she said that, the energetic girl placed Buffy, who was longer than my arm, in front of me and Namishio Noah.

"Is there anything else?"

"Of course, Yuuka. Desserts are like a treasure chest filled with gems. You can eat as much as you want."

"So, can you tell me now what happened?"

I looked at Noah, who was still smiling, and for some reason, although I was very reluctant, I told him what had happened so far.

"..."

"I see. Is this what happened?"

"Laugh if you want to! I actually ended up like this because of something like this, and I even failed to live up to my parents' expectations."

Playing with the salt shaker on the table for seasoning, I snorted with a bit of self-abandonment and grinned at myself.

"Then, Yuuka, let me ask you, do you still like the numbers that once fascinated you?"

"What? Such a question."

I carelessly threw the salt shaker aside and accidentally glanced at the face of Raw Salt Noah, only to find that she was staring at me with her amethyst-like eyes, waiting for my answer.

Under such a serious gaze, I couldn't help but sit up straight and think seriously.

"I think I still... like it. After all, I've been studying mathematics with the support of my father and mother since a long time ago."

After hearing my answer, Noah shook his head slowly.

"Yuuka, you don't seem to understand my question. I want to ask you now, not your parents."

“Have you ever felt happy when you were with numbers?”

"What does this... mean?"

I looked at the girl in front of me with some surprise. Her expression began to change for the first time. She lowered her eyes in disappointment and opened her mouth.

"Yuuka, everyone has something they're looking for, but most of the time they can't get what they want."

"Do you miss the life you had before?"

"..."

I lowered my chin in thought, the answer to this question constantly running through my mind.

If I were to ask myself whether I miss it, I definitely miss that period of time, otherwise how could I become what I am now.

After thinking about it, I nodded affirmatively.

"Of course I'll miss that life."

Upon hearing this, Noah, the raw salt, picked up the spoon that was still stained with a little butter and wrote some unfamiliar English letters on the plate intermittently.

"In reality, you were simply experiencing a combination of negative emotions, including the anxiety of having your long-term efforts easily dismissed, and the insecurity of having recently left your parents' home and having no one to confide in."

"That's why it's like this now. If you had just talked to someone back then, maybe everything that's happened could have been avoided."

Hmm? Is that so?

I thought seriously about what Noah said, but after pondering for a long time, no matter how I asked myself, the answer in my heart was more and more in line with what Noah said.

After all, even though I was so self-destructive, those half-finished questions were still thrown on the desk, and I chose not to throw them away.

Ultimately, what causes all this is nothing more than the huge gap between reality and fantasy, coupled with the unspeakable anxiety.

The multiple emotions mixed together and made my already weak heart collapse in an instant.

Thinking of this, I sighed with relief, closed my eyes, pulled myself together again, and looked at the raw salt Noah in front of me.

She smiled and asked happily:

"How do you feel? Do you have a corresponding answer in your mind?"

"...Well, thank you, Noah."

After I thanked him, the originally gentle atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

I thought about everything that had just happened, and my face and ears felt as hot as if they were being roasted over a fire.

"Oh, well, how embarrassing, I actually said that..."

"Looks like you've got no problems. How about trying this restaurant first? Their parfait is delicious."

Noah Namishio smiled as he looked at me, my face flushed red as I screamed like a steam engine.

"Well, Noah, since you've helped me so much, I must return the favor and express my gratitude."

"Excuse me, is there anything you want?" I tried to ask.

After all, now I can’t think of any other way to express my gratitude except giving gifts.

And Raw Salt Noah covered half of his face with his left hand, swallowed the parfait cream in his mouth, placed the spoon on the plate in front of him, and tilted his head slightly.

"No, Yuuka, you'd better enjoy your parfait quickly, or the ice cream ball on top will melt."

"...Well, I get it, but at least I'm the one treating you to this meal."

Seeing that Noah didn't say much, I also picked up the cutlery that the waiter had placed in front of me and tasted the buffy in front of me.

"Yes, it's sweet... but it's kind of delicious. I'll try it next time when I have time."

I thought about this and ate the last dessert of the set meal with a happy smile.

When Noah and I left the restaurant one after another, the night wind rushed in madly through the gaps between our clothes.

I couldn't help but shiver, hugged my hands tightly to my chest, and my teeth were chattering.

"Ouch...good, cold..."

What's going on? Is it so cold at night now? Just recently, whenever I went outside at noon, I would sweat and become sticky all over.

How long have you been staying in the dormitory?

"Then, Yuuka, let me say goodbye. You should have the courage to face the things you once feared."

"Then I won't have to worry about you anymore."

Having said that, Noah smiled slightly and was about to leave.

Looking at the girl who was about to go away, I stood there in a daze, confused as to what was wrong. Am I going to live alone like this again?

If possible, at least...

"That! Noah!"

Before I could come to my senses, the words in my mind came out without thinking, and the students who were jogging nearby or just walked out of the restaurant cast puzzled looks at me.

"Hmm? What's going on with Ling Liu Si Liu and the other eight Japanese?"

"Um, that! Noah, if it's possible... can you be my friend?!"

Ah! I said it, what a fool!

And, students passing by! Stop looking at me like that! I'm so embarrassed...

Noah's signature smile was still on his face. He held his left hand in front of his chest, clenched his right fist, tapped his face with his index finger, and after thinking for a moment, nodded.

"...Okay, Yuuka, let's be friends then."

"Okay...ok! See you tomorrow then!"

I excitedly raised my right arm and waved it continuously for the first time I made friends after a year of enrollment. Then I ran towards the dormitory as fast as I could as if I was running away.

Ah! Oh, right, Noah chopped the dorm door into pieces with a chainsaw. I need to report this to the Student Union.

Do you want to invite Noah to this restaurant for dinner again tomorrow?

Hmm... If it happens so frequently, will she get bored?

After saying goodbye to Hayase Yuuka, Namishio Noah put his hands behind his back, looked at the starry sky, and walked alone on the path with lawns on both sides leading to the park lake.

She stopped, stretched out her hand, and stood on tiptoe to touch the stars in the sky, but in the end, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch them.

In the end, the outstretched hand could only drop down weakly, and walked towards the end of the path in loss.

The bright moonlight peeked out from behind the clouds, adding a bit of chill to the cool autumn night breeze.

A slim girl in a white uniform was sitting on a chair by the lake. The breeze lifted the hair that covered her left eye, revealing her azure eyes.

If Lin Qiusheng were here, he would definitely be speechless and stand there in a daze.

Because this girl is very similar to the girl he met when he was a child, and she is more like the grown-up appearance of the greedy girl in the Shiting Box in his hand.

“Hum~Hum~La la la…”

She was humming an unknown song leisurely, her body swaying slightly to the rhythm, until she heard footsteps behind her and looked back.

"Ah, welcome back."

"Well, I'm back... I've done what you asked, and Hayase Yuuka has started to return to her normal life."

After hearing what Noah said, the girl smiled and nodded, looking at the moonlit lake in front of her and muttering to herself.

"Oh, I see. You've been having a lot of trouble... If we don't have that child, future sensei will be in a lot of trouble."

"Don't stand there anymore, come sit here."

The mysterious girl patted the empty seat on her left and invited him warmly. Raw Salt Noah did not move, but stood on her left.

The eyes that were originally like gems were now filled with various complex emotions.

"According to the agreement, can I also get what I've been pursuing in the future?"

"Well... I'm sure I can get it, because that sensei is so magnanimous, and there's no law in Kivotos that forbids having multiple wives."

"..."

This time, Noah was stunned. Originally, she wanted the girl who claimed to be the president of the Federal Student Union to reduce her tuition fees so that she could go to a liberal arts college.

Instead of staying in the Millennium Institute of Technology that worships science and creativity above all else.

"Well, I don't mean..."

"Well, that's it. Hayase Yuuka will be in your care from now on."

Before Noah could finish his words, the mysterious girl stood up from her chair and brushed off the dust on her white dress.

In just a blink of an eye, it turned into blue-pink light particles like a firefly and disappeared on the spot, leaving only Raw Salt Noah alone.

"Hey! Wait..."

……

After that, the first thing I did when I returned to the dormitory.

I tidied up the messy room, sat at the desk, turned on the desk lamp, opened the book after a long time, and picked up the pen and paper.
