Last night, I talked a bit too comfortably with Lilith. I regret doing that. I told her everything about how I made Tomose fall for . I shouldn't have said that.
I let my emotions get the better of after so many years.
I also got to know about a new feature regarding this contract which will be quite useful to in the future. I entered the classroom, and the usual noise of chatter hit .
I walked towards my desk, and on the way I had to pass Tomose's desk. I walked past her while slightly glancing at her entire group to check their reactions. And indeed, it seems like Lilith was right.
Neither Tomose nor Kana smiled at . Kana looked at , though, but it was like she wasn't close to like she was yesterday. It was like she knew , but only as an acquaintance.
It was almost like how it used to be before. We were in the sa class and knew about each others' existence though never bothered talking to each other.
It was weird seeing them react like that since normally people are not supposed to be like this. Then again, normal is a word which I shouldn't say. My life has strayed far from normal in the course of the past month.
I made one of them fall in love with the day before. On top of that I was one who confessed to Tomose. Despite being a loner who liked little social interaction, I made friends with so popular girls and even managed to date one of them.
Quite an unbelievable feat.
But it was of no use now since neither Tomose knew that she was my girlfriend nor any of my friends knew that I got a girlfriend. Only I knew the truth.
I sat down in my chair, and Yukimura greeted .
"Good Morning, Sakamaki-kun… wait, where's your spectacles?"
"Good Morning, and I didn't bring them since I don't actually need them." I answered.
"I see." He nodded.
"How many fingers am I holding?" He stretched his arm farther and asked .
"Two… don't change it mid way I can see you." I narrowed my eyes at him.
"So you're not actually as blind as I thought." He gave an awkward smile.
Since I was already talking with him, I decided to check on sothing. It would be best to check that thing on him rather than any other person.
"Hey, do you rember where you were yesterday evening?" I know it was a weird question to ask out of the blue.
"Of course, I was with… wait… What the fuck?"
"What happened? You alright?"
"No, it's just that I suddenly blanked out."
Blanked out on trying to rember the event from last evening. , him, Tomose and Kana went to hangout at a restaurant downtown. But he doesn't have mories of them.
"Well, I rember eating wonderful food, now I don't rember if I was alone or not."
"Good food? Without ?" I said.
"See, if soday, I get a girlfriend, and I was to make out with her…" He stopped and looked at as I was staring at him with my narrowed eyes.
"What?"
"Nothing, you continue." I gestured to him with my arm.
"So… yeah, if I was to make out with her, would you still say, 'without '?" He stared at .
"Of course…" I took a slight pause. "Yes." I added.
"You weren't supposed to say that." He was dumb founded my by answer.
"Let that day co first." I chuckled.
"It will co… anyway, have you got any girlfriend yet?"
"Why do you ask?" That was a weird thing to ask. Not weird because of the context, but he knows that I'm not interested in these kinds of things and he still asked that.
"No, I guess you said sothing about trying to love, a month ago."
"I don't rember saying sothing like that."
"What?" He was confused.
"Co on, you know ." I actively probed him.
"Well…" He took a slight pause to ponder upon this matter. "True." He laughed.
He rembered that? But don't rember that he gulped down pizza last evening? I guess I understand what Lilith said now.
She said that the day on which the target, which she referred as a 'vessel, gets their negative energy completely drawn off. After midnight, anyone affected by the events will get their mories returned to a null state.
In simpler terms, anyone whose actions affect the target, or anyone who is affected by the target's action will get their mory overwritten by sothing else.
Overwriting mories also ant that there might be a slight possibility of different people having distinct mories of . My understanding of this feature of the contract wasn't up to the mark yet.
That's why Yukimura rembers eating food but doesn't rember with whom. That's because he indirectly tried to set and Tomose up, who was my first target.
I'm sure Kana doesn't have any mories of that event either.
And as for the target themselves, they forget ever falling in love with . But they will rember that I talked to them, just not how deeply they were attached to . This is a really great hack. The only good thing about this contract.
But what about my chats with Tomose? Did they vanish too? What if I had pictures of myself with her, what would happen to them?
Does this contract really alter reality and create a new reality for ?
"Hey?" Yukimura snapped his finger in front of my eyes to break my chain of thoughts. I looked at him.
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing particular to be honest." I gave him a vague answer.
He nodded and turned around, as soone else was calling him. He was a friendly guy, so everyone talked to him now and then. Compared to him, I would say I wasn't popular, but I was acquainted with so people.
Also, the thing I genuinely liked about Yukimura is that he knew how to respect soone's privacy. He was a guy you could trust your secrets with and he won't ever spill the beans.
The thought of telling Yukimura about my ordeal regarding this contract ca across my mind for a split second, but I threw that off my mind. It was a trash idea to get him involved. And I don't want him to get in trouble because of him.
I don't even know what the consequences would be if I did tell so about this contract. But I'm sure it won't be sothing nice.
