Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 20 Lost Memories

"So, Sanye, can I call you that?"

"This kind of thing is up to you."

"I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've met. Why do you seem to be so familiar with me? And you're calling me a bad guy."

"Do you really not remember?" Mitsuha Miyamizu said frustratedly. Although he knew that this should be the fault of the god, he still couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

"Well, don't cry first. It's not that you don't remember. Is there any other possibility, such as admitting the wrong person or something like that?"

"Impossible! It's you, Hojo Kyosuke, who lives in Single Apartment 701, Sendagi 49th, and attends Tojo Junior High School. You are the biggest delinquent in the school..."

"Wait a minute, I've been saying it since just now, I'm really not a bad person."

"How could it not be the case? The first time I switched bodies with you, as soon as I opened my eyes, there were all the bad guys in special attack suits standing there listening to your lectures. It almost scared me to death."

"Swapping bodies? What is that? And I just started school today. Even if I am a delinquent, I can't receive a little brother so soon, right?"

"School just started?? How is that possible!"

Without answering Hojo Kyousuke's question, Mitsuha Miyamizu stood up immediately, slammed his hands on the table and exclaimed.

"I did just speak at the entrance ceremony today as a freshman representative."

"How is this possible? You have obviously been enrolled in school for a long time! I even used your body to help you teach."

"Can you first explain what swapping bodies means?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu couldn't figure out why things turned out like this and what happened. Facing Hojo Kyosuke's question again, he answered somewhat mechanically:

"The two of us will exchange bodies in the dream, my consciousness will enter your body, your consciousness will enter my body, and then we will experience each other's lives."

"Is this kind of thing... really possible?"

Although he pretended to be in disbelief, Hojo Kyosuke actually believed Mitsuha Miyamizu's words immediately. After all, he was the protagonist, so how could he not be special at all.

"If what you said is true..."

"Of course it's all true! How could I come all the way to Tokyo just to lie to you!"

"Okay, okay, what you said is true. We have swapped bodies. But according to what you said, I have been studying in Dongcheng for a long time. Is it possible for me to switch bodies with you in the future? , so I still don’t know anything about you.”

"How is this possible?"

"Since exchanging bodies can happen, adding some time travel is not a big deal."

"Haha, that's right."

As the two of them talked, Mitsuha Miyamizu's mood improved a little. After all, the person opposite was someone she was very familiar with. Even if she lost her memory, the feeling of familiarity was unmistakable.

"Excuse me, this is the meal you ordered."

Boss Matsuyama came with his wife carrying a tray.

The so-called beef set meal is a dish based on beef. Hojo Kyosuke's one includes a large portion of beef rice, low-temperature and slow-cooked beef cut into slices and piled on top of the rice to form a volcano shape, with secret sauce poured on top. To make the sauce, the "crater" has three egg yolks; a large portion of grilled beef, with the skin browned, cut into thin slices and sprinkled with sea salt; and a large bowl of vegetable soup.

Mitsuha Miyamizu's was the same as his, but it looked miniscule in comparison.

In addition to the beef set menu, the landlady's tray also placed the ice cream, cakes, grilled fish and iced coffee she ordered, leaving plenty of space.

As for Hojo Kyosuke's special edition, one tray wasn't even enough to hold it, so Boss Matsuyama loaded it all with one hand and one tray.

"Hojo-chan is out of school?"

"Yes, I'm here to trouble Boss Matsuyama again today."

"There's no trouble. I don't know how happy I am to see you eating my food so much. Don't bother me. You can eat slowly."

After saying that, Boss Matsuyama left.

"Why didn't I know you could eat so much!?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at Hojo Kyosuke's huge set meal that occupied three-fifths of the table, and asked in shock, forgetting the question for a moment.

"How do I know this? It's you and not me who has swapped bodies. Now I have to eat so much every meal to meet my body's needs.

Hearing you say that, I already feel a little pity for my future self. Maybe I will scream with hunger every time after body swapping. "

"How is it possible? It's me who uses my body. I can definitely feel it when I'm hungry! I'm not an idiot?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu also knows now that when Hojo Kyousuke asked her if the food she ordered was enough, he was really worried that she wouldn't eat enough.

"So now it's basically confirmed that we have swapped bodies, but the ones swapping are me in the future and you from a few weeks ago?"

"It's not me a few weeks ago, but...how long ago?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu's words stopped abruptly. What happened? How could he not remember such a deep memory? She quickly took out her mobile phone, and there was a diary left by Hojo Kyosuke on it.

"Look, this is the diary you left on my phone. We agreed to record what happened every day, so that the other person would not have a mess after swapping bodies. We also developed a 'body swapping rule'. Just now This, look!”

Unlock it and open the memo. The blue diary entries first turned into garbled characters, then rolled to the edge of the screen one by one and quickly disappeared.

"How could this happen? The diary is disappearing. Look!"

Mitsuha Miyamizu raised the phone in front of Hojo Kyosuke's eyes. He must let Kyosuke see the diary before it disappears completely. This is the final evidence.

"Well, Sanye, there's nothing left on it."

"What? How could this happen?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu leaned back on her chair in despair, and the chocolate remaining in her mouth seemed to become very bitter.

"Swapping bodies has happened, so it's not a big deal if your phone breaks down, right? Besides, don't you still remember? You can tell me directly." Hojo Kyosuke comforted casually.

"Yes! Then let me tell you from the first exchange, that night..."

how come? A huge feeling of emptiness enveloped Mitsuha Miyamizu, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

Why have all the memories of Kyosuke and I disappeared?

"Sanye, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the girl opposite her suddenly crying and turning pale, Hojo Kyousuke quickly sat on the bench opposite and gently patted Mitsuha's shoulder.

"Kyosuke! I don't remember any of it. All the memories related to Kyousuke have disappeared!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha threw herself into Hojo Kyosuke's arms, and the tears that just fell slowly turned into a flood that broke the embankment.

"Sanye, calm down and listen to me."

Mitsuha Miyamizu raised her head. Her hair, which was not tied up with knots, was scattered on her face and wet with tears. She looked very sad.

Hojo Kyosuke quickly used his brain to say something.

“Ever heard of the grandmother paradox?”

"what is that?"

Seeing that Mitsuha Miyami's attention had indeed been diverted a little, Hojo Kyosuke hurriedly continued.

"The grandmother paradox refers to the idea that if a person goes back in time and kills his grandparents before his father was born, this action will create a paradox: you go back in time and kill your young grandmother, and the grandmother dies. There would be no father, and there would be no you without a father, so who killed grandma?"

Very good, Sanye didn't continue crying.

"The person who swapped bodies with you is me in the future. If you tell me what happened now, will what happens after I swap bodies with you in the future be the same as you remember?"

"It seems to make sense, but why is my memory disappearing?"

"That's right! The power of time and space correction!" Hojo Kyosuke said casually.

"Space-time correction power?"

"Yes! In order to allow me and you to meet correctly in the future, your memory has been erased."

Hojo Kyosuke said firmly that he felt that he was developing more and more like Yamauchi Sakura. Was he infected?

"But even if the future Kyousuke can get to know me like he did before, won't my memories be able to come back?"

"..."

Hojo Kyosuke was scratching his head. What the hell kind of plot is this? How to make it go down?

"As you said, we will write a diary when we exchange bodies. I will show you my diary then, and then slowly tell you about our experiences. By that time, time and space have completed the closed loop, and my The memory won’t disappear, maybe you will remember it all by yourself later.”

"That's the only way it can be. You must write it down carefully! It can't be like before..." Sanye stopped talking, obviously unable to remember what it was like.

"Eat quickly, the ice cream is almost melting." Hojo Kyosuke quickly changed the subject.

"Ah, my ice cream!" Sanye exclaimed, lowered his head and started eating.

The two of them didn't say anything after that, and each ate up the food while thinking about their own things.

"You really ate it all, Kyosuke, are you a pig?"

Seeing that Hojo Kyosuke really ate all the food, Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at his belly curiously. If I had known this, I would have eaten more desserts when switching bodies.

"I have kendo training every day, which consumes a lot of money." Hojo Kyosuke said angrily.

"Oops, I have to get to the station quickly. The last train home is almost here."

Sanye, who turned around to admire the decoration of the store, suddenly saw the clock on the wall, exclaimed, and then stood up suddenly.

"Hey, it hurts."

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had just stood up, sat down again. Perhaps because he had just rested for a while, the toes that were worn out during the day began to hurt.

"Why don't you go back today?"

Looking at the girl's frown, Hojo Kyousuke suggested.

"No, what are you thinking, you pervert!"

Hearing Hojo Kyousuke's words, Mitsuha immediately blushed, and then said angrily.

"Me? Don't you remember it already?"

"I...you must have done it, because I said those words without even thinking in my mind. You must have done something bad."

"Okay." Hojo Kyousuke didn't argue. My future self, I will condemn you, and I will take the blame for you while you enjoy the blessings.

"Come on, I'll carry you to the station."

"..."

This time Mitsuha Miyamizu didn't refuse, he just lowered his head and said nothing.

"Don't move."

"Yes," Mitsuha Miyamizu replied softly, the blush spreading from her cheeks to behind her ears.

Hojo Kyosuke easily picked up Mitsuha Miyamizu in a princess hug, and then carefully avoided the obstacles in the restaurant and walked out.

With her cheek pressed against Hojo Kyousuke's firm chest muscles, Mitsuha Miyamizu's face turned slightly red.

It was a completely different experience than when she swapped bodies, and sporadic pictures appeared in her mind.

There are scenes of Kyousuke Hojo stroking his breasts with a look of intoxication on his face, and there are scenes of looking at the mirror and admiring various poses...

"Are you OK?"

Hojo Kyosuke felt that Mitsuha Miyamizu's face, which was pressed against his chest, was a little hot.

"What a shame! Watch the road carefully."

Mitsuha Miyamizu said shyly, and then couldn't help but touch Hojo Kyosuke's abdominal muscles carefully with his right hand.

Next time I switch bodies, I will definitely touch it! She thought silently in her heart.

In fact, not only Mitsuha Miyamizu, but also Hojo Kyosuke was not in good condition at this time.

At this time, he held Mitsuha Miyamizu's leg with both hands, close to the thigh. The girl's smooth skin and plump thighs provided him with an unparalleled touch.

So they both came to the subway station with red faces and their own thoughts.

At Sendagi Station, Hojo Kyosuke carried Mitsuha Miyamizu into the carriage. Fortunately, it was past the off-duty rush and they found two empty seats.

"Just send me here."

Seeing that Hojo Kyosuke had no intention of getting out of the car, Mitsuha Miyamizu said.

"Forget it, it's not that far away. I'm not worried about you like this."

"Then, I'll trouble you."

After Miyamizu Mitsuha finished speaking, he carefully and tentatively leaned his head on Hojo Kyosuke's shoulder.

"If you're very tired, just take a nap. I'll call you when you get there."

"You said, will we meet again?" Sanye closed her eyes, as if talking in her sleep.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will come to your house to find you on the weekend. It will be in Itomori Town, Hida City, right?"

This is what Sanye told him during the conversation between the two just now.

"Yeah! Although it's not a nice place, the scenery in Itomori is very good. I'll take you to eat Hida beef then!"

Hearing Hojo Kyousuke's words, Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had been in low spirits just now, instantly became happy and kept introducing the specialties of his hometown in a low and hoarse voice.

"Is your foot really okay? Do you want me to send you home directly?"

At the station, Hojo Kyousuke looked at the limping Mitsuha Miyamizu and asked worriedly.

"Sending it to your home is too exaggerated. Who wants to take you home?"

I don't know what she thought of, Mitsuha Miyamizu blushed and said embarrassedly.

"I asked my uncle who is a volunteer at the shrine to drive to pick me up. Don't worry."

"That's good. Remember to message me when you get home."

Hojo Kyosuke shook his phone. He had just exchanged contact information with Mitsuha Miyamizu.

"Um!"

Mitsuha Miyamizu held the phone tightly to her chest. She had just tried it and was able to get through! You won't be unable to find it this time.

"Oh, by the way, you have to remember to watch the comet on Thursday night."

"What's so interesting about that thing?"

"No, you must watch it! I will watch it with you in Itomori! I will also help you pray at the temple fair."

Mitsuha Miyamizu put her little hands on her hips and said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I'll take a look."

"Then, goodbye."

"Well, bye."

With a satisfied smile on her face, Mitsuha Miyamizu walked into the car. Before closing the door, she waved her mobile phone to Kyousuke Hojo, indicating that they would call later.
