Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 20 Disappearing Memories

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

"This kind of thing is up to you."

"I'm sure this is the first time we've met. Why do you seem to be so familiar with me? And you said I was bad."

"You really don't remember?" Mitsuha Miyamizu said aggrievedly.

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

"Impossible! It's you, Kyosuke Hojo, who lives in single apartment 49 at 701th Sendagi, and is studying in the second class of the first year of Dongcheng Middle School. You are the biggest delinquent in the school..."

"Wait, wait, I've been wanting to say it since just now, I'm really not bad."

"How could it not be? When I switched bodies with you for the first time, just as I opened my eyes, there were 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 it's bad, it's impossible to receive my younger brother so soon, right?"

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

Without answering Kyosuke Hojo's question, Mitsuha Miyamizu stood up suddenly, slamming both hands on the table and exclaimed.

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

"How is this possible? You have been in school for many days! I even used your body to help you attend class."

"Can you first explain what body swapping means?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu couldn't figure out why things turned out like this and what happened.Facing Kyosuke Hojo's question again, he answered mechanically:
"The two of us will switch bodies in the dream, my consciousness enters your body, your consciousness enters my body, and then experience each other's life."

"Can this kind of thing really be done?"

Although he pretended to be unbelievable, Hojo Kyosuke believed Mitsuha Miyamizu's words immediately. After all, he was the protagonist, so how could there be nothing special about it.

"If what you say 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 both exchanged bodies. But according to what you said, I have already started school for a few days, so is it possible for the future me who exchanged bodies with you, so now I still don't know anything about you."

"How is this possible?"

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

"Haha, that's right."

With the conversation between the two, Miyamizu Mitsuha's mood improved a bit. After all, the person opposite was someone she was very familiar with. Even if she lost her memory, the sense of familiarity would not be wrong.

"Excuse me, this is what you ordered."

Boss Matsuyama and his wife came over with the tray.

The so-called beef set meal is a beef-based dish. This portion of Hojo Kyosuke includes a large portion of beef wrapped in rice. The low-temperature and slow-cooked beef is cut into slices and piled on top of the rice to form a volcano. a sauce, "crater" with three egg yolks; a large portion of roast beef, browned on the skin, thinly sliced ​​and sprinkled with sea salt; and a large bowl of vegetable stock.

Miyamizu Mitsuha's share is also the same as his, but it is miniature in comparison.

In addition to the beef set meal, the proprietress put the ice cream, cake, grilled fish, and iced coffee she ordered on the tray, leaving a lot of space.

As for the special edition of Hojo Kyosuke, one tray wasn’t even enough to hold it, and the boss of Matsuyama loaded it all with one hand and one tray.

"Brother Hojo is out of school?"

"Yeah, I'm here to trouble you again, Boss Matsuyama."

"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 take your time."

Boss Matsuyama left after speaking.

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

Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at Kyosuke Hojo's huge set meal that took up three-fifths of the space on the table, and asked in a daze, forgetting the question just now.

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

Hearing you say that, I feel a little sorry for my future self, maybe I will be so hungry every time I switch bodies. "

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

Mitsuha Miyamizu also knew it now. At the beginning, Kyosuke Hojo asked her if the food she ordered was enough, because she was really worried that she would not have enough to eat.

"So it's almost certain now that we've swapped bodies, but it's me from the future and you from a few weeks ago?"

"It wasn't me a few weeks ago, it was... how long ago?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu's words stopped abruptly, what's going on, how can she 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 mobile phone. We agreed to record everything that happened every day, so that the other party would not have a mess after switching bodies. We also formulated the 'Code of Body Exchange'. Just in Here, look!"

Unlock it, open the memo, and the blue diaries first turned into garbled characters, and then quickly disappeared.

"How did this happen? The diary is disappearing, look it up!"

Mitsuha Miyamizu raised the mobile phone in front of Kyosuke Hojo. He must let Kyosuke see it before the diary disappears completely. This is the last evidence.

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

"What? How could this be?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu leaned back on the chair in despair, the chocolate left in her mouth seemed to be very bitter.

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

"That's right! Then I'll tell you from the first exchange, that night..."

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

Why have all the memories of me and Kyousuke disappeared?
"Sanye, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the girl on the opposite side burst into tears, her face turned pale, Hojo Kyosuke quickly sat down on the bench opposite, and lightly patted Mitsuha on the shoulder.

"Kyosuke! I don't remember anything, those memories related to Kyousuke are all gone!"

Mitsuha Miyamizu threw herself into Hojo Kyosuke's arms, and the tears that were just slowly falling down instantly turned into floods that burst the embankment.

"Sanye, calm down and listen to me."

Mitsuha Miyamizu raised her head, her untied hair was scattered on her face and was wet with tears, looking very poignant.

Hojo Kyosuke hastily used his brains to say something.

"Ever heard of the grandmother paradox?"

"what is that?"

Kyosuke Hojo saw that Mitsuha Miyamizu's attention was diverted a little, so he hurriedly continued.

"The grandmother paradox is that if a person goes back in time and kills his grandparents before his father is born, but this action will create a paradoxical situation: 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 father, so who killed grandma?"

Very good, Sanye didn't continue to cry.

"The one who switched bodies with you is the future me. If you tell me what happened to me now, will things happen after I switch bodies with you in the future as you remember?"

"It seems to make sense, but why does my memory disappear?"

"This, right! Space-time correction power!" Hojo Kyosuke said casually.

"Space-time correction power?"

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

Hojo Kyosuke said firmly that he felt that he was becoming more and more like Yamauchi Sakura, was he infected?
"However, even if the future Kyosuke can get to know me like before, won't my memory come back?"

"..."

Hojo Kyosuke was scratching his head, what the hell kind of plot is this, how do we make it up?
"As you said, we will write a diary when we switch bodies. I will show you my diary and then tell you about our experience. At that time, time and space have completed the closed loop, and my The memory should not disappear, maybe you will remember all this by yourself in a while."

"That's the only way to go, you must write it down carefully! It can't be like before..." Sanye's words stopped, apparently unable to remember what it looked like.

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

"Ah, my ice cream!" Sanye exclaimed, lowered her head and began to eat.

After that, the two of them didn't speak, and they ate everything while thinking about their own affairs.

"You really ate it up, Kyousuke, are you a pig?"

Seeing that Kyosuke Hojo really ate up so much food, Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at his stomach curiously.If I had known this earlier, I would have eaten more desserts when switching bodies.

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

"Oops, I have to go to the station quickly, the last bus home is about to arrive."

Sanye, who turned her head to admire the interior decoration, suddenly saw the wall clock on the wall, exclaimed, and then stood up abruptly.

"Hey, it hurts."

Mitsuha Miyamizu just stood up and sat down again, probably because she just rested for a while, the toes that were worn out during the day are now starting to hurt.

"Why don't you go back today?"

Seeing the girl frowning, Hojo Kyosuke suggested.

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

Hearing Hojo Kyosuke's words, Sanye blushed immediately, and said angrily.

"Me? Don't you remember?"

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

"Okay." Hojo Kyosuke didn't quibble, future self, I'll condemn you, and I'll be scolded for you if you enjoy yourself.

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

"..."

Mitsuha Miyamizu didn't refuse this time, she just lowered her head and said nothing.

"Don't move."

"Yeah" Mitsuha Miyamizu replied in a low voice, the blush had spread from her cheeks to the back of her ears.

Hojo Kyosuke easily hugged Mitsuha Miyamizu in the posture of a princess, then carefully avoided the obstacles in the restaurant and walked out.

Her cheeks were pressed against Hojo Kyosuke's tight chest muscles, and Mitsuha Miyamizu's face was slightly red.

It was a completely different experience from the time of body swapping, sporadic images appeared in her mind.

There are pictures of Hojo Kyosuke's body stroking his chest muscles intoxicated, and there are pictures of looking at the mirror and posing in various poses to admire...

"Are you OK?"

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

"Whispering! Watch the road carefully."

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

I'll have to touch it the next time I switch bodies!She thought silently in her heart.

In fact, it's not just Mitsuha Miyamizu, Kyosuke Hojo is not in a good state at this time.

At this time, one of his two hands was holding Mitsuha Miyamizu's leg near the thigh. The girl's smooth skin and plump thigh provided him with an unparalleled touch.

So both of them blushed, and came to the subway station with their own thoughts.

At Sendagi Station, Hojo Kyosuke kept carrying Mitsuha Miyamizu into the carriage. Fortunately, it was after get off work and they found two vacant seats.

"You can just send me here."

Seeing that Kyosuke Hojo didn't intend to get off the car, Mitsuha Miyamizu said.

"Forget it, it's not too far away. I don't worry about your appearance."

"Well, then I'll trouble you."

After Mitsuha Miyamizu finished speaking, she cautiously and tentatively leaned her head on Hojo Kyosuke's shoulder.

"If you're tired, just sleep for a while, and I'll call you when I get there."

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

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will visit you at your house on weekends, in Itomori Town, Hida City, right?"

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

"Hmm! Although it's not a good place, the scenery of Itomori is very good. Then I will take you to eat Hida beef!"

Hearing Hojo Kyosuke's words, Mitsuha Miyamizu, who was not energetic just now, instantly became happy, and continued to introduce the special products of her hometown in a somewhat hoarse voice.

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

At the station, Hojo Kyosuke looked at Mitsuha Miyamizu who was walking with a limp, and asked worriedly.

"It's too exaggerated to send home or something. Who will take you home."

I don't know what came to mind, Mitsuha Miyamizu said embarrassingly with a blushing face.

"I asked my uncle who is a volunteer at the shrine to pick me up in a car, 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.

"Ok!"

Mitsuha Miyamizu hugged the phone tightly to her chest, she tried it just now, and she was able to get through!This time it will never be found again.

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

"What's so good about that thing?"

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

Miyamizu Mitsuha said seriously with her hands on her hips.

"Okay okay, I'll see."

"Then, goodbye."

"Well, bye."

With a contented smile on her face, Mitsuha Miyamizu walked into the car, and before the door closed, she waved her mobile phone with Hojo Kyosuke, signaling to call later.
