Candy

Saturday.

The day has come for a date to begin.

Last time, Shido invite her to have a date without letting the Ratatoskr know it.

With that, he didn't have to mind his behaviors and be himself when their date started.

The reason why he decided to be carefree is because of the plot on his body.

For some reason, it begins to become more flexible than it used to be.

The plot is very restricted and very tight.

If he dares to change it, something might happen to him.

However, the more he was exposed to the nature of the plot, the more he could understand it.

Because of that, he can now minimally modify it and reshape the direction of this golden string that has been inside of his body and connects to one another.

Now, he could control the will of the plot even a bit.

This reason makes him realize that he can change the plot from a puzzle game to a chess game.

Now, he can become the black side who will devour the white side.

The only thing that might or not become a problem is both sides are something that might be happened in the future.

Parallel worlds.

Unlike in his previous world, In this world, this sci-fi thing exists.

With that, he decided to create another parallel world and the ending will depend on how he plays this chess-like plot.

Still, the things that need to happen truly happened.

Takamiya Mana.

After school on the day he invited Kurumi on a date, she visits them at their home.

Like in the anime, Kotori and Mana fight over whose little sister is worthy of Shido.

However, the battle didn't conclude since Shido decided to interrupt by asking where she live right now.

Shido knows that despite not having a memory of him, Mana loves him and she doesn't want to involve him in her dangerous world.

So instead of telling him, she immediately excuse herself and said that she will visit again.

Meanwhile, while watching the battle, Yoshino and Tohka are trying to understand what's going on but because they are too pure, they didn't get that much and just focus on how hungry are they now.

…

10:30 am at the Tengu station plaza.

As they talked about, they both arrived at the right time.

Well, for the sake of appearance, Shido arrived 5 minutes earlier.

Unlike in the original story, he didn't have a three-timing date.

However, the plot need to continue so in later days, he still needs to take Origami to watch a movie and go to the aquarium with Tohka.

But for now, he could focus on his date with Kurumi.

"Ara~ did I make you wait?"

"No, I only just arrived myself."

"Is that so? Then, where do you want to go first?"

He thought that he could do the same in the original story but thinking about it again, he decided to choose it as a last choice.

"How about we watch a movie?"

"I'd like to but—"

"Don't worry, I already booked for us. We still have some time before 11 so why not we eat together first?"

"I'm okay with it!"

Kurumi's expression right now is like a child who received candy that is sweet and very ecstasy.
