Comprehensive comics: I loaded the dream game

By the time the two of them finished their dinner, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

The advantage of eating so slowly is probably that you can slowly enjoy this dinner made by the girl herself. At the end of the meal, most of the bento that Natsuori prepared for Megumi was fed into his stomach.

I'm sorry, Natsuori, but half of your thoughts have reached me.

Xia Zhi apologized in his heart.

But since the original purpose has been accomplished, it's not a waste.

Next, it's time to get down to business.

There's an idea that needs to be validated a bit.

Stopping Megumi Kato, who was about to clean up the mess, Xia Zhi looked at her and asked:

"Can I close my eyes again?"

"What's wrong?"

Megumi Kato was a little puzzled, but obediently closed her eyes again.

The next moment, she felt herself being flicked on the forehead.

"Whew!"

The girl let out a small cry of pain, and subconsciously reopened her eyes, but what greeted her was a package wrapped in a thermos cloth that looked very familiar.

“...... Huh?"

She blinked, and shifted her gaze to the low table in front of her, where the sumptuous dishes had all returned to the way they were before the meal, as if their memories of eating had never happened.

Myself, it seems that 03 has returned to the point in time when I closed my eyes last time?

She pulled out her phone and glanced at it, and the time shown on it verified her inner suspicion.

"Time backtrack?"

A guess arose in Megumi Kato's mind.

It sounded surreal, but if it was a teenager, she wasn't surprised that he could do such a thing.

After going through so much with the summer solstice, my psychological acceptance of this kind of thing has also increased a lot.

"Yes...... Or maybe not. "

Xia Zhi gave a general answer, shook his head, and then asked her:

"Can you still eat it?"

Megumi Kato shook his head slightly, although the time returned to more than an hour ago, his body still retained the feeling of fullness just now, and he would definitely not be able to eat another meal.

Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the ability of the Simulacrum is still in effect." "

What is that?

The girl tilted her head in confusion, but saw that the boy had taken out a small piece of pastry from somewhere, and handed it to her.

"If you have dessert after dinner, you should be able to eat it, right?" Xia Zhi asked as he blinked his eyes and looked at her.

After all, there is a saying that dessert is in a girl's second stomach.

"This time, I fed Hui, oh?ah~"

Although he was already full, looking at the boy who handed the dessert to his mouth, Megumi Kato felt that he should still be able to eat it.

With a faint crimson on her cheeks, the girl opened her pink mouth slightly and accepted the food he had fed.

This kind of shyness with a cute gesture of obedience makes Xia Solstice uninterested.

He felt that he knew why the girl had been so happy to feed her, and it was indeed a very pleasant thing.

Fortunately, I have enough material reserves on my side.

"How do cookies feel?"

"I can't eat anymore. "

"Ah~"

"The summer solstice is really ......"

The two stayed like this until more than ten o'clock, and the food on the table was basically not touched again.

After eating, Megumi Kato didn't want to talk any more, so she sat quietly on the ground next to the bed by leaning on the boy's shoulder, and the quiet atmosphere around her made her feel at ease again.

As time passed, sleepiness welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but yawn slightly.

"Alright. "

Just as Megumi Kato was drowsy, the boy's voice pulled her consciousness back again. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

She opened her eyes, only to see that the food on the table had returned to the state of the mess that she hadn't had time to clean up after eating.

We are ...... Coming back?

Megumi Kato blinked in surprise.

She now knew why Xia Solstice answered "yes and no" just now.

The time they finished eating "last timeline" was around nine o'clock in the evening, and in "this timeline", they hadn't touched the food on the table since seven o'clock. If it's just a simple time regression, back to nine o'clock when the dinner should still be in good condition. []

Such a situation cannot be explained by a simple time jump.

The girl had a faint guess

"Parallel worlds?"

"It's not that kind of thing. "

Xia Zhi shook her head and denied her conjecture.

Although the manifestations are somewhat similar, they are not the same thing at all.

The most important evidence is......

"When we left, the future on the other side came to a complete standstill. "

Xia Solstice said.

If it were a normal parallel world that was independent of each other, the passage of time on both sides would not be affected in any way, right?

"Gone?" said Kato, looking a little confused.

"It's just that it's gone. Xia Zhi explained.

This explanation is even more difficult to understand.

Faced with the confusion shown by the girl, Xia Zhi thought about it and gave a simple example:

"Has Megumi ever played galgame?"

Megumi Kato nodded slightly: "I know a little bit." "

Xia Zhi followed this example with a simple metaphor: "Just like when we play galgame, there are always a lot ......of saves, right? It's almost like this. "

If you never touch it, the save process will stop forever at that node, and it won't continue until the game is deleted.

This is what Xia Solstice just said "gone".

It is not a normal world with a unique 483 timeline, it can only be regarded as an archive attached to the information of a certain space-time node in this world.

The plane it represents only makes sense if the player selects that save. And the save that is abandoned by the player will naturally not move forward on its own.

Therefore, although Megumi subconsciously regarded the timeline of having dinner as the "main timeline" at the beginning, in fact, if Xia Solstice didn't choose to return to this side just now, or if he returned to the previous archive and stayed there, the timeline of "eating dinner" here would also become a "branch" archive.

Under this mechanic, there is no such thing as a "main story" strictly speaking, or the timeline chosen by the player is the real main line.

As for who the "players" are in this process......

The answer is self-evident.

This is the extra ability that I discovered before the summer solstice after coming to this world.

"Just now, we were jumping between different saves. He concluded by explaining to the girl.

Megumi Kato nodded thoughtfully, as if she finally understood.

"Summer solstice,Become the hero of galgame.。 She sighed.

Summer Solstice: "......"

Is that what I just meant?
