So, see ya.

======================

"Are you... okay?"

Upon eting again, Origami Tobiichi's mother didn't ask about her identity.

Nor did she ask why Origami had co.

Instead, her attention went straight to Origami's slightly reddened eyes and trembling body.

It was a reflexive concern.

That simple concern almost made Origami cry again.

But this ti, she held back.

Having her mother standing there alive and well was already an incredible blessing. If she cried now, it would only make her mother worry.

Seeing that Origami wasn't replying, her mother simply pulled her into the apartnt.

"Anyway, co in and sit. I'll get you a glass of hot water. Just take a mont to rest."

Just like that, Origami was brought back into a ho that was both familiar and vague in her mory.

Even when she sat down on the couch, the whole thing still felt surreal.

Her mother went into the kitchen to get a cup of hot water.

anwhile, Origami's father erged from his study, having heard the noise.

When he saw Origami, he froze for a mont.

Origami picked up the cup and, to the shock of both parents, downed the hot water in one go.

"Wait, that's hot water—what are you doing, child?!"

Her mother rushed over, but it was already too late.

Thankfully, upon checking, she realized Origami wasn't hurt. Even so, she remained sowhat shaken. After seeing her parents, Origami planned to run off again.

Just like before.

But just as she was about to leave, a small figure ran out from one of the rooms.

It was an adorable little girl.

A younger version of Origami.

The two Origamis locked eyes.

The younger one blinked for a mont—then gave a sweet smile.

She didn't know who this big sister was, but she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

The older Origami felt a sudden urge.

She beckoned the younger version over.

Little Origami ran up, stopping beside her.

"Big sister!"

The mont she heard that sweet voice, the older Origami felt her heart lt.

She had just been chard by her younger self.

Then, she took out her phone.

She pulled up a photo of Haruto and handed it to the little Origami.

Leaning in close, she whispered into her ear:

"This is your Prince Charming."

Little Origami's eyes lit up.

Her innocent heart was instantly taken in by the handso image of Haruto.

What little girl doesn't dream of a cool, handso prince?

Fate, destiny, charm, maturity—these were all irresistible to a young girl. And thus, older Origami began her "self-strategy."

Origami's parents stood there, stunned.

They couldn't hear what the two girls were saying.

But... the scene was just bizarre.

If it had been any other stranger, they would've rushed in and scooped their daughter up imdiately. But for so inexplicable reason, they both felt an odd sense of familiarity and trust toward this strange girl.

After a short while—

Origami's mother said:

"I'll go make dinner. Sweetheart, why don't you stay and eat with us? We've got plenty of ingredients."

And with that, she disappeared into the kitchen.

Origami's father picked up a newspaper and sat at the dining table, still bewildered.

As for older Origami?

She got her hands on paper and pen and began creating an entire fairy tale for her younger self—centered around her and Haruto.

A story of a hero rescuing a maiden.

In the depths of despair, he arrived, bringing hope and light.

The classic setup.

Little Origami was completely enchanted, already itching to et Haruto. Even more absurdly, Origami didn't stop at writing stories—she drew illustrations too.

And even transferred several of Haruto's photos to her younger self.

After a full session of self-strategy and light brainwashing...

Origami left behind a thick pile of stories, illustrations, and photos. Lastly, she gave her younger self a specific ti and location.

She said: "If you go to this place at this ti, you'll et your Prince Charming."

The innocent little Origami was already wishing that day would co tomorrow.

After carefully leaving behind multiple ti-stamped ssages and coordinates...

Origami took off.

Leaving behind one excited little girl...

And two completely baffled parents.

The ti and place she'd left behind?

It was none other than the exact mont she, as a "Spirit," had traveled from a parallel world into the main tiline.

Even if the world's convergence force altered so things—certain fixed events usually wouldn't change.

Origami had just planted a seed.

And she was sure—this seed of love would definitely grow and thrive in the future. After all, once you've seen Haruto and heard Origami's semi-fictional love story—even the most rational girl would turn into a hopeless romantic.

This was way more powerful than so scarf plotline.

When Origami dashed back out—Haruto looked at her bewilderedly, clearly unsure what had just happened.

But Origami, unusually, said nothing.

Haruto didn't press further.

Before returning to their proper tiline—there was one more thing to take care of.

After a brief mont of sensing...

They arrived at the entrance to a secret SCP Foundation site.

There, a woman was about to take the Foundation's tests to beco a researcher. But just as she was about to enter the facility—

Haruto suddenly pulled her aside.

"Excuse , are you Murasa Reine?"

Haruto looked at the woman and asked.

She had silver hair and striking blue eyes.

Her long hair was tied into a side ponytail, giving her a strangely cute air that didn't quite match her age.

She gave off the vibe of an airheaded but mature woman.

Under her eyes were deep, dark circles—almost panda-like.

Upon hearing Haruto's question, Murasa Reine nodded.

Looking a bit dazed.

Once she nodded—

Haruto said directly:

"Please co with ."

And Reine, without hesitation, nodded again.

"Okay."

Their brief conversation left Origami and Kurumi confused.

Origami recognized Murasa Reine.

She and Haruto had previously witnessed this woman's confrontation with the GOC. But she couldn't understand why Haruto was bringing her along.

And why Reine had agreed so readily.

'Wait... could it be that Haruto likes airheaded onee-sans?'

That idea flashed through Origami's mind.

She did have the airheaded trait—just needed to grow into the mature part.

There was hope yet!

Kurumi, on the other hand, scrutinized Reine suspiciously.

Haruto flicked her on the forehead.

"Alright, ti to head back."

With that, he activated the power of "The World" and led them through a ti leap.

Kurumi rubbed her forehead, pretending to whine.

But in truth, she was deeply focused on the surrounding ti fluctuations.

Haruto let out a breath.

Good.

The reason he wanted to take Reine—was because... she was actually Mio Takamiya.

More precisely, Reine was a fragnt of Mio's consciousness. A part she had separated from herself long ago.

Reine had all of Mio's mories—but was not a Spirit.

As a naturally powerful Spirit, it was difficult for Mio to understand human emotions.

But Reine was human.

Haruto wanted to protect her.

Though the Spirit Mio had done so unforgivable things...

Those were misunderstandings rooted in the Spirit's perception—not true evil. In short, the human Mio—Murasa Reine—was soone more human than most.

And she was soone worth saving.

The ti jump ended.

They returned to the main tiline.

Origami rushed off to see her parents.

Kurumi, anwhile, was conflicted.

She wanted to visit her old best friend too.

But...

She gave up on the thought.

It had been thirty years.

Her friend would be nearing fifty now.

While she remained frozen at the age she beca the Spirit of Ti.
