Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 28 The Devil Returns (Part 2)
“So this world is not my world, and the fact that I am a girl here is just one of many possible world lines?” Lu Mingfei was a little confused.
Suddenly I realized that my life in the past 18 years was a replay of the female version. It was impossible not to be angry, but Lu Mingfei would not fight with the little devil just because a part was missing. This was his own choice, and there was no reason to blame others. He had lived as Lu Mingfei for 18 years until today, and seemed to be quite happy before he reunited with the little devil.
"BINGO." The little devil, or Lu Mingze, snapped his fingers. "Just think of your nickname as Hououin Kyouma, then it will be easy to understand, and I am your Makise Kurisu."
"Puh, puh, puh, puh, puh!" Lu Mingfei crossed his arms and backed away, fearing that this little devil really had some improper thoughts about him. But there was a wall behind him and he had no way to retreat, so he could only stick to the side of her face to avoid her, which seemed to be a bit of a desperate move. "Who the hell needs someone like you? I feel so disgusted when I sleep at night!"
"I think I'm pretty now." Lu Mingze stretched out his fingers to look at the girl carefully. The girl's skin was as white and crystal as jade. "Brother, do you look down on me? Or if you like, I can call you お姉様, and I can play the role of a cute and adorable little sister who is well-behaved and easy to pinch."
(お姉様 = older sister in Japanese. Many translators will also translate it into "older sister" according to the context to express respect and admiration for this person.)
Lu Mingze held her cheeks with both hands and blinked quickly in a very cute way, as if a pink heart was rushing towards Lu Mingfei. It seemed that this little devil was really familiar with the lethality of this pair of eyebrows and eyes. Lu Mingfei wanted to give her a slap in the face to get her to leave, but facing such a bright and lovely face, Lu Mingfei really didn't have the determination to do it.
"Disgusting, bah! Disgusting, disgusting!" Lu Mingfei pinched his nose and fanned away the pink bubbles, "Can you change back to your old self and talk to me? Then I can kick you in the face."
"No." Lu Mingze said calmly, "Brother, don't you understand yet? You became a girl named Lu Mingfei, so I became a girl named Lu Mingze. The changes in the world line are effective for both you and me at the same time. I am what you are. After this dream ends, you will still be Lu Mingfei, and the memories that are briefly restored will be cleared because they do not belong to this world line."
"According to your theory, there are countless possibilities on the way to the result. How can I know which is the result and which is the changeable world line?" Lu Mingfei glared. "Kungunir is a weapon of causality. If you told me at the last moment that Senior Sister's death was an inevitable result, then what's the point of me giving up Jill and taking this world line again?"
"Sometimes I really don't understand whether you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid." Lu Mingze spread his hands and tilted his head to look at Lu Mingfei, "Think about it carefully, haven't I already told you the answer?"
"Are you so kind?" Lu Mingfei was harsh in his words, but in his heart he had already begun to silently calculate what the little devil had said. Although she was always mean, she was always reliable at critical moments, and she was not like Kyubey who always left words unsaid and would not answer unless asked.
Lu Mingze twirled her fingers through the ends of her hair, humming an unknown tune, her little leather shoes tapping on the floor to keep the beat. She turned her head to look out the window, patiently waiting for her stupid brother to remember the correct answer.
“Fuck!” Lu Mingfei suddenly widened his eyes in surprise. “You mean, my birth is just a result, and the world line has already ended?”
"So no one knows how things will develop from now on." Lu Mingze retracted his gaze, crossed his legs, and looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile, "Mayuri's pocket watch will not stop again. As the male version of Lu Mingfei, your choice is to chase after Nuonuo, but as the female version of Lu Mingfei, there is no reason for her to regret Nuonuo for the rest of her life. If there is, it should be Chu Zihang, right? The choices and ideas you made are not the same as before. You should also realize that the development of your interpersonal relationship is completely different from the previous version, right? Even I can't predict what Lu Mingfei will do in the future. The future after the world line converges is completely unknown. How to write it depends only on you."
Lu Mingfei was stunned. Even though it was a dream, the life that Lu Mingfei had experienced was still clearly visible. The increasingly passionate thoughts in his heart gradually became impossible to ignore. At this pace, it was only natural for Lu Mingfei to fall in love with Chu Zihang.
But this shouldn't be the case.
"You shouldn't let me talk to ." Lu Mingfei said softly, "I would definitely feel guilty if I did that."
"Burning your little universe to fulfill others' wishes? That's really stupid, it suits your style." Lu Mingze curled his lips, "Use your pig brain and think about it carefully. Even if Xia Mi is willing to be with Chu Zihang, is there any possibility between the two of them? Can Chu Zihang take Xia Mi home and say, mom, this is the wife I brought back for you. She is a humanoid Tyrannosaurus. You can just call her Jörmungandr? Even if Chu's mother accepts it, the secret party will not agree. The ultimate dream of that old man Ange is to kill all the dragons. If he knows about Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, he will just carry a rocket launcher and blow up the Chu family's villa without even saying hello."
Lu Mingze sat next to Lu Mingfei, supporting himself with his hands on the tiny space between them, and slowly approached Lu Mingfei.
There was a faint scent of fresh perfume coming from her, and the enchanting traces of her bra straps could be vaguely seen under her collar. It turned out that the little devil did not lie. In this world line, she was Lu Mingze, an absolute Lolita version of Lu Mingfei's sister.
Since you are the younger sister, of course you have to be good to your elder sister at all costs. The only way to happiness is for everyone to be united against the outside world.
“Since Xiaolongnu and Chu Zihang won’t be happy together, you should be bold enough to take her place. This way, you and Chu Zihang will have a heart-to-heart talk on the Ferris wheel at Six Flags. With your eloquence, it will be easy to move Chu Zihang to tears in ten minutes, right?” Lu Mingze smiled happily, as if she could see the bright future through Lu Mingfei’s eyes.
Lu Mingfei didn't want to look at those beautiful eyes. The little devil was always like this, instilling in him the idea of mastering the power of the world and living a good life without caring about other people. If killing someone could make Lu Mingfei happy, the little devil thought that Lu Mingfei should kill that person to make himself feel better.
But those people really existed, they really walked through your life and played an important role. Just because you like Nuonuo, do you have to kill Caesar, the arrogant young man? He looks like he has a lot of money, is generous to everyone, and is not a bastard who must be killed. Just because you like Chu Zihang, should you steal his love and push Xia Mi, the cute and stubborn girl, away from Chu Zihang? She stood on one leg at the station, like a kitten, and the Coke she stole for you was so delicious. I am afraid that no other drink in your life can compare to the sweetness of this cup of Coke.
If the price of getting happiness is to destroy someone's happiness or memories, Lu Mingfei would rather choose to burn himself. He is that kind of person.
