Takumi met Miyuki in 2019.

The woman traveled aimlessly, often sleeping in the open and working wherever she went.

That year, he came to Saitama Prefecture to deliver takeout food for a fast-food restaurant in order to raise funds for the future.

His food was delivered to Takumi.

"Hello, it's you..."

When Takumi opened the door, Miyuki's eyes lit up, and she tilted her head: "Excuse me, do we know each other?"

Takumi certainly hadn't seen her before, but Miyuki stopped in Saitama Prefecture for this reason. He lived near Takumi and harassed him while he worked.

"Hey, Takumi-kun, let's go out and play!"

"No."

"You have to go even if you don't want to. Why do you stay home all the time?"

Miyuki pulled him out of the door. Takumi had never seen such an active person, and for a moment he didn't know what to answer.

This woman is different from ordinary people. He is strong and optimistic, and always has a smile on his face, as if he can never stop or calm down. Once he decides something, he does it in spite of everything and gives himself completely.

Takumi's resilience never dampened his enthusiasm. I brought him food, washed his clothes, played with him and watched movies.

"Psychopath".

He thought so, but after a year of getting along, he was still moved. Save for Aika, no one in the world would care about him as much as Miyuki and stay with him for as long.

Takumi didn't know why.

"When I first saw you, your eyes were like dead fish." Miyuki responded matter-of-factly in a conversation, "I was really angry when I saw it!"

He also bluntly said that the reason he stayed was because Takumi was handsome.

Miyuki didn't lie, but so did she. She was more paranoid than Takumi imagined. When she discovered that he accepted her little by little, Miyuki moved into his house and trained Takumi as a father, thus transforming her life.

It was a hard day, like a nightmare. Takumi used to think that if Miyuki was kind at that time, she would certainly like him.

But in the end, he went another way.

This is a cliché story. Miyuki had been sick for a long time. I had a common cancer at the time, and it was already at an advanced stage.

"I'm sorry..."

When Takumi said goodbye, Miyuki apologized: "I'm just using you."

'He was just using Takumi, or in other words, he practiced a cultivation game in the last stage of his life. He chose it and considered it a tool to continue his life. He did his best to perfect and transform it, wanting to adapt it to his hobbies.'

'He wanted to leave something valuable in his life, and Takumi, who had lost his dream, was the best target.'

Takumi did not accept the apology. As he looked at the smoke rising from the fire, he knew clearly that whatever the reason, he had to thank Miyuki.

Time passed, and Takumi never dreamed that he would return to 2014.

"Miyuki!"

On the street, Takumi grabbed his hand.

Miyuki was startled and looked back: "Is that you?"

After recognizing Takumi, Miyuki felt a little afraid: "How do you know? Do you really know me?"

'How strange. Why didn't Takumi's attitude change when he saw her face? Did this girl really know her?' Miyuki had thought about it seriously after their separation. 'I definitely didn't know Takumi.'

"..."

Takumi did not answer. He gasped, his eyes shining.

He had found it. This woman was Miyuki. His face was exactly the same, but his bearing and expression were completely different from his previous life. Now Miyuki doesn't have that fearless smile anymore, her gaze isn't as sharp, and her personality isn't paranoid.

"It's changed... No, that's how it was before," Takumi thought. 'The one who had changed was not Miyuki, but him. The current situation is exactly the opposite of that of his previous life. Miyuki, who had changed, met the one who hadn't changed.'

In 2014, Miyuki had not yet discovered that she was sick, nor had she experienced a personality change in her despair. The Miyuki Takumi knew was no longer visible.

Now, in front of him, there was only a strange Miyuki, but... things had changed, and in addition to a little bitterness and loneliness, Takumi felt more warmth.

Smiled.

"I'm sorry."

Takumi let go of his hand and his face returned to normal: "I was the wrong person."

This change in attitude surprised Miyuki, but Takumi already knew that she was Miyuki, so there was no need to test her with information from her previous life, and she could strengthen the contact little by little.

Takumi wanted to cure his illness, that was all.

"I told you."

After the surprise, Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "You're Mirai-sensei, right?"

"Yes."

Takumi nodded; 'it seemed that this matter could not be hidden from Miyuki.'

"There are two reporters out there who are chasing Conan. Do you want to stop them?" asked Miyuki.

"No, let them chase me." Takumi didn't care. 'It was obvious that Alice was the protagonist. I thought nothing would happen:' "Even if he gets caught, that Conan has nothing to do with me."

Her eyes flashed, and she asked, "You're the Miyuki from last time, right?"

Takumi heard from the voice that Miyuki was the Miyuki of the last time. In fact, they had contacted each other several times during that period, but Miyuki had to go to work and Takumi was busy practicing piano during the holidays, so they didn't meet. If they had taken the time to see each other earlier, the matter would have been clear.

"That's right, Mirai-sensei."

Miyuki smiled and said, "Thank you for helping me solve the problem last time. Now no one follows me."

"Great."

Takumi smiled. He felt relieved and happy.

'I'm glad I found him. Although this world is parallel, the car accident he discovered while traveling back in time showed that many things were still the same as in his previous life. Miyuki now has cancer, but she doesn't know it yet.'

"She recalled that she learned of her illness two years later, and that there was no way to treat it at the time. The hospital sentenced her to death, so the Miyuki of the past and the one of now, they are like two different people.'

'It is not too late yet. If she finds a way, Takumi can take Miyuki to the hospital to be treated without anyone suspecting.'

"By the way, can you give me your phone number?"

Takumi asked, looking up. "It's complicated to contact by email."

Miyuki saw that her attitude was normal, and didn't give it much importance: "Okay."

He read the number, Takumi put it on his mobile phone and put it away carefully. 'Ready, everything is fine.'

The remaining problem is:

"It seems that I have no money..."

Takumi frowned slightly. He signed a deal with Hinotori Publishing and used all the royalties to buy them. Now only tens of thousands of yen remain. Not to mention that the prices in Japan are relatively high, even in his previous life, this amount of money is not enough to treat Miyuki.

'What to do? Your condition cannot be delayed. Will he have to publish another manga to make money?'
