Truth is everywhere within range

"Qiao Sang, try the bento I made."

During lunch break, Qiao Qiao sat with Sayoko and Suzuka.

Sayoko opened the lunch box for two people, which contained home-cooked dishes such as octopus sausage and tamagoyaki, which looked very delicious.

"It's great, Qiao Sang. There is a beautiful girl helping to make lunch. I can only go to the cafeteria alone."

Yamaguchi glanced at Qiao Qiao jealously, put his hands in his pants pockets and walked out of the classroom.

"Suzuka made her own bento today too!"

Suzuka also took out a lunch box decorated with cute deer patterns.

However, after opening it, Qiao Qiao saw hell.

"Suzuka, what is this black mass?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the indescribable and twisted lunch box that was about to overflow.

"This is scrambled eggs."

Suzuka said expectantly.

"Qiao Sang, do you want to taste some?"

He also picked up a piece with chopsticks and tried to put it into Qiao Qiao's bowl.

"No, no, Suzuka needs to eat more while she's still growing."

Qiao Qiao declined Suzuka's "kindness".

Suzuka picked up the black "egg" and put it into her mouth.

Gala Gala——

There was some worrying chewing sound.

Then it was swallowed into the stomach.

"It seems like there was a little too much soy sauce."

Suzuka commented.

"Hey, is this Japan's bento? It looks interesting."

Suddenly, a silver-haired head emerged from between Qiao Qiao and Suzuka.

Sakuraba Kiriye looked at the three of them with interest. Although she was a beautiful transfer student, because of her mixed race, it seemed that no one dared to invite her casually.

"What is Sakuraba-san's lunch? Why don't we share it together?"

Sayoko invited with a smile.

"This is my lunch!"

Wuye took out a fish in a plastic bag from his schoolbag?

"This is my family's traditional food, fish and chips too!"

It is also?

Is there any problem with this person's Japanese?

Qiao Qiao gave up his seat and let Kiriye sit between him and Suzuka.

Although Suzuka protested, she still had no choice but to separate herself from Qiaoqiao.

"Everyone, please try my cooking."

Wuye took out the fish and chips, and also got a can of ketchup from somewhere.

"Then I won't be polite."

Qiao Qiao picked up the fries and dipped them in ketchup.

Well, at least there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it from the outside, it just looks like French fries.

he thought, popping it into his mouth.

Click——

It hurt my teeth.

Wait, aren’t these French fries? The so-called French fries should be food made from potatoes. How could they be so hard?

Qiao Qiao secretly scratched the table with French fries.

There was a shallow scratch on the wooden tabletop.

"hiss--"

Qiao Qiao took a breath.

This woman's cooking skills are unfathomable.

On the other hand, Suzuka's cooking skills were as stable as ever no matter what the circumstances.

Um?

Suzuka's cooking skills?

Qiao Qiao suddenly felt as if he had mentioned something that he should have remembered, and he felt a sense of violation.

"What's the matter, Qiao Sang?"

When Xiao Yezi saw Qiao Qiao stunned, she asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing."

Qiao Qiao shook his head and drove away the messy thoughts.

What I am living now is a peaceful life, a daily life like a love comedy.

only.

After school, the noisy threesome brought Wu Ye, who lived nearby, with them. The four of them visited the newly opened shopping mall. The time was pleasant and fulfilling.

His parents work in Shimane Prefecture and are away from home for a long time. Qiao Qiao mostly eats dinner with his childhood sweetheart Sayoko next door.

After dinner, Qiao Qiao returned home and looked at his room, which was decorated with animation and idol posters, just like an ordinary boy's room. His confusion deepened.

I turned on my computer and randomly searched for international news, entertainment stars, and sports economy. I also subscribed to several virtual anchor channels.

Something is wrong.

He looked at the guest room next door. There was nothing special except an unused bed.

Walking downstairs, there are still the leftover dishes and chopsticks from breakfast in the kitchen.

Qiao Qiao came to the living room and turned on the TV. It reported ordinary industry news, nothing noteworthy.

What are you looking for?

Qiao Qiao also felt confused.

He saw the door to the entrance corridor.

This is the study room.

Qiao Qiao opened the study door.

There are bookshelves, cabinets, and more sundries. By the way, this place is not usually used. Over time, it becomes a storage room.

Qiao Qiao suddenly felt an urge to recall the past. He turned on the light and opened the cardboard box inside.

They are all junior high school textbooks, childhood toys and the like.

Looking at these things, Qiao Qiao can accurately recall the corresponding things.

Bit by bit, my memories from childhood to now.

The sense of disobedience was decreasing, and Qiao Qiao began to feel that it might be the pressure of the recent exam that caused him to feel depressed.

He put everything away and stood up.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao saw a pocket watch lying quietly on the ground.

The surface of the pocket watch is mottled, and it is no longer clear what kind of decoration it is.

Qiao Qiao didn't remember that he had such a thing, and guessed that it might be his parents' belongings.

He picked up the pocket watch.

Open it, it has already stopped inside.

A strong sense of disobedience surged into Qiao Qiao's heart, making it difficult for him to think when he looked at the pocket watch.

With this mood in mind, Qiao Qiao pressed the button on the side of the pocket watch by accident.

Click——

In an instant, a string of words that Qiao Qiao couldn't quite understand appeared on the pocket watch.

【Abnormal index 19231】

The text flashed away, and then another line of text appeared.

[Einstein Reality Augmented Anchor, Anchor]

Something, broken.

Qiao Qiao saw that the room he was in gradually changed, from the original appearance of a miserable place filled with clutter, to a study room filled with various weapons, experimental equipment, and books.

Qiao Qiao's memory revived.

“Is it memetic contamination?”

he said alertly.

A few minutes ago, I was completely unaware of the changes in everything around me. I was still like an ordinary person, enjoying my daily life without any weird presence at all.

Although the settings of childhood sweetheart Sayoko, neighbor's arrogant Suzuka, and mixed-race transfer student Kiriya are indeed good.

But Qiao Qiao came to his senses at this moment. In that world, Yalizi did not exist.

Not only that, including Ii Masaharu, Hoshikawa Gogoto, and even Sakamoto Kazuya, they were all replaced by other beings.

"Is it a memetic attack on myself?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the Einstein reality-enhanced anchor in his hand. If he hadn't pressed it with his instinctive desire to survive, he might have spent his whole life in that world until he died.

What's even more frightening is that the memetic pollution that can blind Qiao Qiao may have spread. In the end, Qiao Qiao will be stripped away from the world and completely erased or replace his existence.

Being able to reach this level of existence.

Qiao Qiao couldn't remember anyone he had offended.

He looked at the time, it was just after twelve o'clock, it was December 24th.

In other words, the experience of the previous day only lasted ten minutes in reality.

Qiao Qiao picked up his pocket watch and walked out of the room, wanting to confirm whether he was the only one affected by the meme or whether others were also involved.

I saw a girl who had no characteristics and was hard to remember, sitting on her sofa with a glass of water in front of her.

"Since everyone else is asleep, I just served myself a glass of water. It's okay."

She said, even her voice had no character.

"Oh yes, I should introduce myself first."

She stood up, lifted her skirt slightly, and bowed.

"My name is unpronounceable in your human language, but you gave me a code name, and I like it."

"It's called Old God. Wishes."
