Chapter 18 - Investigation, part 2

The giant monitor was so huge and wide I couldn't see it fully without moving my head despite being 10 feets away.

The low clicking of keyboard was slightly irritating, but I guess I can't complain people about their jobs.

Though I could complain about it for another matter. Kidnapping me, of course.

"I hope you were actually paying attention to what I was just explaining." Satori looked at me, turning his head.

"Allow me to apologize." I bowed me head.

I could hear satori swear under his breath as he turned towards screen again

"I won't be repeating. Look at the screen."

"Yes sir."

The screen lit up as a recording started playing on it.

A giant war between to non human factions.

Oh damn, they're killing each other. The robots seem to be getting especially roughed up. The furries are winning.

Ok, shit this is kinda exciting. Now the big bad from furries showed up and wiped a big part of robots.

Damn, they can't escape! He is controlling the battlefield. They also can't attack that castle where the furries are coming out from, I guess.

Whoa, that guy actually pushed the furry back! .... And he's dead.I guess the furries are winning this then.

Whoa, an ugly looking four eyes appeared.Hm? What is he spouting?

Damn, he's on furries side, huh.

Whoa, guess that girl is seriously hurt because of him.

Kinda weak though, isn't he? He's not really able to kill anyone. But the furry king seem to enjoy watching him for some reason

Hmm..

Oh...

Ohhhhh....

I see!

I see, so the guy was actually distraction so the big robot can get in and destroy the furry castle.

Stupid plan. But worked.

"Did you watch that?" Satori looked at me.

I nodded.

"What do you think."

"Kinda great. Maybe add more spund effects and a bit of backstory for both sides. Over all quality is good. Though the boy was kinda ugly for main lead. Top tier movie material overall."

"YOU-..." Satori inhaled deeply then looked at me.

"What the fuck were you seriously thinking?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm serious. Tell me, did you seriously think it was a good plan."

"... Okay. I kind of thought it was a good plan for my goal."

"Will you elaborate?"

"I had to get out. But I couldn't until those guys had an eye on me. And I had an unwanted responsibility of saving some lives."

"So... You abandoned them?"

"I took away the threat and the saviour. I wouldn't need to deal with serious problems, like talking to people and I'd not be running from my responsibility either."

"You ran away from me."

"You gonna blame me for that."

"No. But I'll call you stupid... And honestly disturbingly terrible planner. Don't tell me you took this plan from some video game character."

"No... It was from a manga."

Satori sighed.

"We're continuing in brief after this."

The screen turned on again.

Hm... Oh, so he survived. And the castle got destroyed.

The machine got an upper hand as the enemy leader fell down and their base was destroyed.

Hmm... He's not going back. He's actually running. River? It's burning.

Oh he can't go back. How sad. What will he do?

Hm? He rushed to kanfuji, huh? What's he doing.

'Don't touch, nuclear box' huh. How childish.

Hm... He's finding something. A liquid... Mirror world liquid? What the fuck is that? And a belt?

Oh, he's using it to go back in time. How natural.

Well guess he can go back. Lucky him... Wait. Why's the girl here. Oh.. No.. No, no you fucker you love someone else! Don't-Ahhhh...

"Ahhhh...!" I said the last part out loud. Satori paused the screen at the exact moment before she kissed me.

I was grabbing my face as if I saw a horror plot twist. And satori was looking at a face that looked like someone who saw a horror movie plot twist.

I hate this.

"Now... That's the problem." Satori began.

"Okay, I can explain. She, as soon as pippo told her, realized everything and immediately followed me. I did end up pushing her away, okay? It wasn't me who did it. I didn't enjoy that. I immediately even dipped out using time belt. My heart is dead set on shizuka-"

"If your useless rubble is over, let me speak."

"I'm listening"

"Because of you USING A TIME MACHINE in an ALTERNATIVE world to rewind time 2 days back and then coming out of the MIRROR world to real world from a WORLD THAT WAS MERGED WITH MULTIPLE ANOMALIES, you have created an mutation in the branches."Satori stopped, looking at me. "Maybe I should simplify."

"Actually I got it all. Shouldn't have used time belt to reverse time in an mutated world. Because now the real, my, world is also in danger of being infected because of me. I'm kinda used to complicated stuff relating tech and magic by now."

"... Yes. That's right. Wait, if you know this, why didn't you-!"

"I was completely thrown out my psyche because of that kiss. I apologize"

Satori sighed too hard.

"You... Are something."
