"Absolutely not!"
Souta imdiately rejected her idea.
"As your friend, I can't just stand by and let you disappear. This is not happening."
After thinking for a mont, he proposed a different plan:
"How about this—when you go back to 30 years ago, don't destroy Mio's birth factor right away."
"First, invite to your world. The system will transport directly to your side."
"Once I'm there, then you can erase Mio's existence."
"And the mont you do, I'll imdiately take you back to my world."
"That way, when your world's tiline changes, you won't be affected—but you'll have to live in my world from then on. If you ever return, the world's rules will probably erase you."
Kurumi's lips curled into a smile.
"Ara, ara~ Rokuhara-san, are you really that reluctant to part with ?"
She wasn't displeased—
If anything, she seed genuinely happy that he cared this much.
"Yeah, of course I don't want you to disappear." Souta admitted openly.
"We're friends, aren't we?"
Kurumi exhaled softly, her expression relaxing.
"Friends, huh... Thank you."
"Your idea is worth considering. However... it's a sha."
"With my current ti reserves, I don't have enough power to activate the 'Twelfth Bullet' and travel 30 years back."
"Oh, right—" Souta suddenly rembered.
Kurumi's stored ti energy wasn't nearly enough to execute her plan.
"You Spirits... You're not actually immortal, are you?"
"Of course not."
"If we were, I could use my Angel's abilities to go back in ti as much as I wanted."
Kurumi sighed and added:
"Spirits only have longer lifespans than humans, but we're not truly immortal. That's why I have to steal ti from others to keep myself going."
Hearing this, Souta fell into deep thought.
Kurumi had morals—she would never massacre innocents to gather ti.
And only hunting criminals for ti energy...
Would take way too long.
"There has to be a way to help her get a massive amount of ti all at once..."
All of a sudden, Rokuhara Souta had an idea.
He imdiately picked up his phone and called out to the system:
"System, I have a question. If we find the real-world author of Date A Live and convince him to rewrite the story, would Kurumi's world change accordingly?"
If that were possible—
Wouldn't it be way easier to just have the author add a super resurrection ability to the story?
Then everyone who had died—
The 1.3 billion casualties from the Eurasia Sky Disaster, Kurumi's friend, and countless others—
Could all be brought back to life!
That way, Kurumi wouldn't have to go back in ti to change history.
However, the system imdiately shot down his idea:
[When a fictional world becos real, the relationship between the author and the world is no longer that of creator and creation. The host's thod is ineffective.]
"..."
Souta clicked his tongue in frustration.
Damn, not even the tiniest loophole to exploit, huh?
Since rewriting the script was out of the question, the only alternative was to solve Kurumi's ti reserve problem directly.
anwhile, Kurumi was sowhat impressed by Souta's outside-the-box thinking.
Most people would try to work within the established rules.
But Souta's first instinct was to flip the entire chessboard.
Just as the two were deep in thought, the doorbell rang.
Souta got up and opened the door—his takeout had arrived.
The two of them sat down in the living room and began eating.
However, halfway through the al, Souta suddenly realized sothing.
He had been too fixated on solving the problem within the Date A Live world.
Why limit myself to just this world?
Why not consider other ani universes?
After all, the multiverse was full of crazy, overpowered abilities.
There were plenty of ways to gain immortality in different ani worlds!
If he could obtain immortality, he could provide Kurumi with infinite ti energy.
Or better yet—
If Kurumi herself could gain immortality, the problem would be solved completely.
With this in mind, Souta imdiately picked up his phone and asked:
"System, can I take Kurumi to other worlds?"
The system responded:
[Yes. There are two ways to travel:]
[1. If a friend invites you, you can travel to their world.]
[2. If you use a 'Travel Card' (one-ti item), you can travel to a specified world, selecting an approximate ti and location.]
"Wait, I can set the ti and place with a Travel Card?"
Souta was shocked and quickly asked:
"Does that an I could use a Travel Card to go 30 years before the start of Date A Live?"
[No. A friend's world is ti-locked to sync with reality. You cannot ti-travel within a friend's world.]
"Figures... No loopholes to exploit."
"Alright, then—do I have any Travel Cards?"
[No. Travel Cards must be purchased with points in the system's store. Points are earned by completing missions. The store and mission system will unlock once the system has at least three users.]
"Wait—points? Missions?"
This was the first ti Souta had heard about this.
But the three-user requirent was annoying.
Right now, there were only two users—him and Kurumi.
Who knew how long it would take to get a third user?
"Is there any other way?" he asked, unwilling to give up.
[Yes. The system provides a 'Newbie Starter Pack' for the host. Would you like to claim it?]
"...Wait, I have a starter pack!?"
Souta was genuinely surprised—
But after thinking about it, he realized it made sense.
When he first found this strange phone, he had assud it was so scamr's trap.
He hadn't bothered exploring its functions at all.
If he had checked earlier, he probably would have discovered this sooner.
Without hesitation, Souta claid the Newbie Starter Pack.
A notification popped up:
[You have received:
1 Travel Card,
1 Invitation Letter,
1 Lottery Spin]
"Finally, a Travel Card!"
This ant he could now solve Kurumi's ti problem!
As for the other two items...
Souta asked, "Is the 'Invitation Letter' the sa as the one Kurumi received—basically, a phone?"
[Correct. The system periodically distributes Invitation Letters at random. However, the one in your possession allows you to choose who to invite.]
"So I can choose...?"
This was a huge advantage!
The system did hand out invitations, but since it was random, Souta had no control over who received them.
However, the Invitation Letter in his possession allowed him to target a specific person.
Unlike Travel Cards, which were one-ti use, the Invitation Letter created a permanent connection.
If soone accepted the invitation and later invited Souta in return, he would gain unlimited access to their world.
It would be just like how he could now freely enter and exit the Date A Live world.
The only difference was that—
If he traveled to Date A Live using this thod, he would appear directly next to Kurumi.
But if Kurumi wasn't in Date A Live at the ti, he would likely be randomly teleported sowhere.
