Chapter 169 - The Tale of Insane Scientist Hououin Kyouma! (II)
Words appeared over the pages, so unknown fingers banging against the keys of a keyboard.
The tale started with Okabe's first eting with the main-female character, Makise Kurisu, and then finding her dead in her own pool of blood. He then sent a text about it to his friend Itaru, the hacker, imdiately after which, all the people around him disappeared. It was the first instance of Ti Travel.
The tale then proceeded to Makise Kurisu joining Okabe's lab, and their subsequent finding of the ti machine, a phonewave-operated microwave oven. Then they started doing experints with D-mail, sending text ssages in the past. It also ntioned him later bringing a rare PC nad IBN 5100 to the lab to hack into SERN, a powerful organization, and finding that SERN experinted with ti machines, using humans, in a program called Z-program.
The tale hadn't ended even there.
It proceeded to ntion Okabe's experints with the D-mail. He found that they only worked between 10 am to 6 pm. These text ssages affected the past, altering the present, and only he rembered the change, as other mbers' mories were altered to fit the new tiline. He decided to call that ability Reading Steiner.
Abruptness was the nature of the Tales of Beedle the bard.
The tale had ended like a waterfall falling off a cliff but never reaching the bottom.

"Run, master," g shouted in his ears, holding his hand. "We are running out of ti."
For the first ti after his arrival, Kai found himself struggling to know what was going on. What ti? Then his eyes found the answer.
00:05:03
What?! Kai's expression crumbled.
"You there!" soone shouted from behind. "Stop!"
Kai looked over his shoulder and saw a bald man running towards them, his eyes raging. He kicked the road, disappearing into the nearest market, g leading the way.
After a few minutes, they again found themselves in a secluded alley.
Kai looked at the tir, leaning back on a wall. He still had 3 minutes left. The book was still in his hands, and now that the paramount task was finished, he recalled he needed to do one more thing using g.
He called out Cersei, ignoring the upgraded Item for now.
Cersei ca out parting the veil dressed in the sa black suit and pants. Kai was sure that she had deliberately co into these clothes, trying to look better than g. In a manner she did, he observed.
g snorted.
Cersei gave a peck on Kai's cheek and then turned away, giggling at g. "Know your place, slave," she said, sneering. "Rember what happened to our dear Squirtle?"
"Enough!" Kai snapped. "g, I need to check sothing using her Act. Cersei, use Blood Prophecy."
When only a few seconds were left, g opened her eyes, her face pale. She was dying, and if not supplied with HP soon, it would take days to regain enough HP to get back her original regeneration rate.
Still, Kai didn't feed her any HP capsule.
"I... saw nothing," g said, trying to push herself up.
Kai nodded to himself and picked her up over his shoulders. "I want to return to the Main Mission's Random World," he said, grinning, finally figuring out the mystery behind Blood Prophecy's odd failures.
A blue shine covered them instantly, and they were teleported out of the Switched World.
00:00:00

It was almost midnight.
They arrived outside Pentos' city walls in their original clothing and took so ti to move away from the crowd. Kai put g down and chuckled. "Well," he said, brushing hair off her face and tucking it behind her ears. "Wasn't that sothing?"
He stood back up and looked around. Desolation was everywhere, and in the distance, the flas of torches over the ramparts were dancing like tiny lit candles.
"Chaos," he called out, "compress the remaining ti."
47200 MC vanished, and Kai blinked away his ire.
Only then did he look down at g, who was trying to sit up. "OK," Kai said. "You did extrely well. Don't enter the city and follow the plan. Mission over. I would let the White Room take care of your HP. No need to waste an HP capsule when you are already going there."
Kai was smiling, feeling quite good.
Finally, the ti was coming near for him to reincarnate as a main storyline Character, and that too in his beloved magical world of Harry Potter. Yes, he loved sabers, but he could practice that art by himself, too. Magic. Now that was sothing else entirely.
A blue shine appeared around them, like a soft silk blanket.
It was then that g lifted her face.
Kai's heart skipped a beat.
In these last months, Kai and g had shared many days and nights talking to each other about one random world or another. They had made plans, discussed theories, and laughed over so hideous, cunning remarks.
Was there ever a need for Kai to ntion that there was a heart beating inside his body? Was there ever a need for him to say that in his veins ran blood just like it did in hers? And was there ever a need for him to share that they were alive because they could think?
No. Such things were common, and one needed not to say them.
Yet, there was one thing that Kai had taken for granted, thinking that it was as common as everything else.
So when he saw confusion written over her face, the earth slipped away from under his feet.
At this point, Kai just wanted to cancel this teleportation. His mind was beating, his heart screaming, and everything seed not to make any sense.
But the blues had beco bluer, and there was nothing he could do about it.
She opened her mouth, and Kai cursed.
"White Room..." g blurted, taking deep breaths. "What White Room, master?!"
