Six was still clutching her head.
Mono reached out again and pinched her cheek.
"What, are you unsatisfied?"
Six looked at Mono silently, paused for a moment, and then shook her head.
It seemed she couldn't beat Mono right now—no, it seemed Mono wasn't angry anymore.
If doing this could keep Mono from being angry, then being knocked or pinched a few more times was no problem at all.
"Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare."
Mono let go of her face.
He took a short breath and rubbed his stomach.
Repeated battles were not only mentally exhausting but physically taxing as well.
So hungry.
"Is there anything to eat?" he turned and asked.
Six shook her head.
Silence...
They stared at each other...
After a long while...
Then came a loud shout: "Can't you go look for some, you idiot!"
hniUn
Oh~
Six gave a dejected response and silently walked away on her bare feet, looking back every three steps.
Mono was helpless.
Six, this Stinky Girl, was really too stupid.
Peace returned to the room once more.
Mono wasn't worried she would run into trouble.
There were no people active around the train station. With Six's strength, even if she encountered some adults, she could run back in time even if she couldn't win.
He shifted his gaze upward, and a virtual screen appeared before him again.
Ding!

Mono was silent for a while.
He killed himself?
What was that supposed to mean?
He didn't think Mono was his Future Self at all.
However, these two abilities...
They looked quite good, both being control-type abilities. The first one still needed an experimental target, but as for the second...
Mono silently turned his head and looked out the window.
Invisible waves spread out, and the rain that was originally falling toward the ground actually...
Stopped directly in mid-air.
In just an instant, a sharp pain shot through Mono's head.
The waves dissipated, and the rain resumed its downward trajectory.
This was completely different from the resistance formed by telekinesis; the selected space had actually stagnated.
Had Mono actually mastered such a terrifying Ability?
But why didn't it use it back then?
Mono frowned.
If it had this Ability, even if he had increased his Focus to 100%, he probably wouldn't have been its match.
Could it be...?
"Heh... what am I thinking? Even if it's true, so what? Anyway... it's already dead."
Mono shook his head, his gaze falling back to the display in front of him:

Mono leaned silently against the bed frame.
He finally had the strength to protect himself; it hadn't been easy.
"So... just wait. This time, you won't... succeed again."
His gaze suddenly became profound as Mono looked toward the Signal Tower. That light was still shining over the city.
Mono was dead, and he was not Mono, nor would he let fate... repeat its mistakes.
While he was leaning quietly against the bed frame with his eyes closed to rest, footsteps came from outside.
Six was back.
She was carrying... a rat.
Mono swallowed hard, somewhat speechless, and asked stiffly:
"Hey, Six, I'm saying, isn't there anything else to eat? Why is it a rat again?"
Hearing this, Six thought Mono was dissatisfied again and could only explain in a small, aggrieved voice: "But, I only saw it running out."
Mono fell silent, then felt powerless: "Alright..."
Eating it once is eating, eating it twice is eating; once you eat it enough, you get used to it. As long as it fills the stomach, there's no problem, right?
Comforting himself like this, he silently crawled off the bed.
Although his body was still weak, it was much better than before.
"Today I'll teach you how to roast it, how about that? Want to learn?"
"Will it be as delicious as what Mono roasts?"
"Um... of course." Mono nodded.
If rat meat could be considered delicious.
"Six wants to learn, so I can roast it for Mono to eat in the future."
Naive...
He didn't want to eat rat meat at all.
"Alright, then I'll be waiting for it," Mono said with a smile.
After speaking, she began to prepare the meal.
It wasn't very complicated; simply removing the head and tail was enough.
Under the firelight, the roast meat quickly began to glisten with grease.
Then, Mono watched helplessly as Six sat beside him and began to "gnaw" on the rat meat.
She looked like a hamster, her mouth stuffed full of meat.
Looking at that greasy little mouth, Mono swallowed hard.
Why is she eating with such relish? Is it really that delicious?
...0
He tried taking a bite of the meat in his own hand, but found it very mediocre—dry and tough, barely manageable to swallow.
Seeing Mono silently watching her, Little Six's expression became a bit unnatural.
She chewed quickly a few times, swallowed the meat, and then, with a blushing face, whispered:
"Mono... what's wrong?"
Mono shifted his gaze from Little Six's face to the meat in her hand.
"Little Six, I want to eat what's in your hand."
Little Six: "..."
As it turned out, the meat in Six's hand did indeed seem to taste better. Mono licked his fingers, lost in thought as he savored the lingering flavor.
Little Six blushed and pulled her hand back.
"Mono... are you full?" she whispered silently after a long while.
"Yeah..." Mono looked at the blushing Stinky Girl, nodded, and smiled. "It would be great if every day could be like this..."
"Mono..." Little Six was stunned for a moment, then she also nodded silently and whispered, "I hope so too... to be with Mono forever..."
The last part was almost inaudible; if Mono didn't have such good hearing, he wouldn't have heard it at all.
He just watched silently and didn't speak again, but the thoughts in his heart became even firmer.
If the world didn't have Six, it would be a tragedy.
A very big tragedy.
As expected, is this a world that needs Six to exist?
Six: Asking for flowers, votes, and reviews.
Author-kun: I can't ask anymore, I owe too much, I can't pay it back. 1
Six: But, I still really want them... (aggrieved) 3
Author-kun: Mwah.
