Chapter 641: I'll Return Your Precious Memories

*Date A Live World, Central Timeline...*

Due to Mio Takamiya, the Date A Live world, which was originally supposed to be a Level 3 world, has grown exponentially to the point where it can now house multiple timelines within it.

All these timelines are connected to the dimension that was created when Mio Takamiya formed, known as the 'Neighboring World.'

However, what might seem beneficial for the world isn't entirely true. While Mio Takamiya's Order strengthened the world to a massive state, the Chaos that contaminated the Weapon Coffin (Requiem) was like a knife inside, causing the world to begin tearing apart from within.

As a result, although the world's will is very strong, it is still growing, and the hidden poison in the Requiem injured it, leaving Mio Takamiya as the world's support.

With such conflicts occurring for 30 years, the World's Will fell into a coma due to an overload of energy and the damage caused by paradoxes.

Therefore, there was no one left to control the timelines or seal them off to prevent the creation of such paradoxes.

Mio Takamiya and the Weapon Coffin, whose powers created this anomaly...

And among these timelines, there are two points where they all originated.

One of these two points was five years ago...

**Tenguu City, Turning Point, 5 Years Ago...**

In an alley near the Itsuka Resistance, a wormhole opened, and due to its nature, two people were violently expelled from it.

"Here we are, the Turning Point..."

Yuki, who was prepared for the force, landed gracefully while his Mangekyou Sharingan spun, searching for the main node in the creation of this anomaly.

"Ugh...!"

As for Natsumi, she fell like a rag doll, tears welling up in her eyes as her pointed hat slipped off her head.

"Yuki-kun, that was so cruel, not catching a lady..."

Natsumi complained, but unfortunately for her, Yuki ignored her and focused on this timeline.

After analyzing it, he couldn't find the main node, which made him sigh.

Without Zafkiel, it would be difficult to establish coordinates or even find the frequency in time. It was a shame, but due to this paradox, his spiritual power was an obstacle, so he had to rely on Chakra...

Fortunately, Yuki had already anticipated this, so in case he couldn't locate the main node, Kurumi could still use Zafkiel and Lucifugus to create a Clock to detect the time-space when the event would appear...

[5 Days, 3 Hours, 55 Minutes]

Counting the clock's rotations, Yuki deduced the exact moment of the paradox. Luckily, they still had plenty of time.

"What should we do?"

Natsumi, who had been dragged into this problem, couldn't help but ask when she saw Yuki's pained expression. In response, he shrugged.

"The main node of the paradox isn't present yet, so we still have time to establish roles."

"Roles?"

"Yes, in this space-time, we are shadows—beings who shouldn't be here. If we want to fix this timeline, we need to disguise ourselves."

"…!"

Yuki was one of the three people who formed this paradox, so he shouldn't intervene or be seen, as it would create more unknowns and alter the future. Therefore, he had to use someone else's identity.

"Haniel, we'll use your Angel for this."

Although Yuki could transform using Chakra, his disguise wasn't very good, and considering he had to face the first spirit, only Haniel could fully transform his body and essence.

This was also the reason why Yuki chose Natsumi.

"I see. So, who do we disguise ourselves as?"

"Don't worry, I already have the perfect candidates."

Perhaps because Yuki's smile was dark, Natsumi couldn't help but shiver and silently wish good luck to the unfortunate couple whose identities they were about to usurp.

Tenguu City, Orphanage...

Outside the building that looked like a church, a middle-aged couple smiled as they held each other's hands firmly.

Although the couple had a good appearance and seemed loving, the corners of the woman's eyes twitched slightly, as if she were holding back.

"Yuki-kun, you still haven't explained what we're doing here."

That's right, the couple was none other than Yuki and Natsumi in disguise. After showing her the image and having Natsumi use Haniel, Yuki quickly took Natsumi's hand and acted very affectionately towards her because, according to him, the identity they had just stolen was of a married couple.

Natsumi had strong doubts. Now, with this excuse, Yuki had closed the distance between them quickly, making her wonder why a married couple was needed. Natsumi wanted to reject it, but after remembering their mission, she reluctantly gave in and let this pervert take advantage of her, though she resisted internally.

Even so, Natsumi couldn't understand why they were at an orphanage.

"Well, our identity now is that of a loving and married couple who have a cute daughter, so we're here for her."

Yuki's smile widened as he took his 'Wife' by the waist.

"Huh?"

Natsumi's mouth opened in shock, and before she could ask, Yuki led her into the church...

As a religious orphanage, the church was full of children of all ages and also nuns who acted as caregivers, always attentive. When they saw a loving couple enter, the nuns left the children and quickly approached them.

"Welcome to the house of God. How can I help you?"

The nun's smile was very cordial. Yuki, on the other hand, didn't want to waste time. His Sharingan began to spin, and the nun fell into a Genjutsu.

"We're looking for a girl named Origami."

---

"Origami, we've found you a family."

"Hm?"

Origami, being the model child of the orphanage, was very loved by the nuns, who were very protective of her.

And how could they not be? Origami was a very cute girl with short platinum hair. There were always adults who wanted to adopt her, but since she was so beloved by the nuns, every couple that tried to adopt her was subjected to a very rigorous investigation by the nuns, and in the end, no family had been able to pass the nuns' tests, so Origami had spent her entire life in the orphanage...

However, today, the nun told her they had finally found a good family willing to adopt her. This made her very happy and curious about her new family...

"Origami, let me introduce you to your new family, the Tobichi Family."

"What...?!"

When she saw her 'parents,' Origami was petrified, as if struck by lightning. This couple seemed very familiar, like a déjà vu, but at the same time, she felt like she had never met them. Her heart pounded, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if these two people were very important to her.

Everything was so confusing that Origami didn't notice her new 'Father' had already touched her head gently...

"It must have been very hard for you, Origami. Let me make it up to you..."

Yuki's eyes shone, and at that moment, a crow swooped down from the sky and perched on Yuki's shoulder.

Everything was so strange that Origami tilted her head in curiosity. However, before she could speak, her body froze.

The crow turned its head, and a blood-red eye was revealed, spinning...

"...!"

"I'll return your precious memories, Tobichi Origami."

[Kotamatsukami]

Origami's eyes closed as a large amount of information flooded her brain, causing her to faint. Fortunately, Yuki caught her, and without saying goodbye to the nuns, he carried the girl in his arms.

It wasn't until Yuki disappeared from the orphanage that the nuns reacted. They shook their heads in pain, trying to remember, but to their dismay, their memories had been altered. After several minutes, they continued with their lives, forgetting about the girl named Origami...
