Chapter 111
The Pitfall of the Future
When I opened my eyes, I was inside a noisy office space . Among the office desks that were lined up, I was at the head .
My time leap was released .
Confirming the date from the PC in front of me, it was ten years since the day we returned from the Hiiragi mansion . While dressed in a suit, I noticed that a mug with coffee was placed on the right side of my desk .
The current seat that I’m at is the leader’s seat, right…?
When I checked the business card in my pocket, my title was written on it .
[HRG Co . , Ltd . , Communications Division, Second . Section, Supervisor]
The supervisor could be called a leader at our company . It indicates the person in charge of managing the people that answer calls . It was a position there would be about 5-6 co-supervisors on the floor .
I, was promoted…
Below my affiliation and title, my name was written .
[Hiiragi Seiji]
“Ah . ”
I became a Hiiragi!? I’m not a Sanada anymore! Which means I made progress with Hiiragi-chan . That has to be the case .
Until now, we had only reached the stage of living together . Still, there wasn’t a ring…
“I see… so not yet…”
Looking around, among the other leaders on the same floor, many were people I knew . Muramatsu-san, my once direct superior, seems to be a leader of a different group .
“Senpai, can you help me with this over here?”
A young girl holding some documents came jogging towards me .
“Eh? Aah, okay . ”
However, this would be the first time that my time leap was released with me at the workplace . Can I think of this as things are going well with Hiiragi-chan?
Last time, listening to what Rei-chan, who had also time leaped, had said, my last name was still Sanada .

“Senpai, are you listening?”
I once again looked at the girl’s face .
“Huh… Are you perhaps, Rei-chan? Shibahara Rei-chan . ”
“What’s with you all of a sudden? Please don’t call me by my full name . It doesn’t really sit right with me . ”
The young, twin tailed girl, has grown to become a respectable lady . I say that, but she is probably about 20 years old .
“Sorry, can I talk to you for a bit?”
“What?”
I brought the wide-eyed Rei-chan into a meeting room .
“Senpai… we’re still working . You can’t be dragging a girl into a meeting room like this… you know…? If the young lady was to find out about this, it would be bad…”
I wonder why she was blushing while saying that .
“I definitely did say that I was fine with being the second or even the third… but not at the workplace… I don’t think I would be able to stop after that…”
This little girl, does she have the predisposition of a mistress? Please don’t try to strip your clothes while saying now . Is our relationship a physical one?
“You’re that Rei-chan, right? The one that time leapt to 4th grade and became an adult in the body of a child . That Rei-chan? Ten years after that would be now, right?”
“That’s right . What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Calm down and listen to me please… The current me, I came back . ”
“I don’t get what you mean . ”
I was instantly cut down .
“The me that the Rei-chan met while time leaped . That me is currently here… This is all confusing . Anyways, I want you to tell me . ”
I listed out the information that I wanted to know one by one .
“How’s the company? It’s performance? Do you know anything?”

“Know anything? Rather, Senpai, didn’t you say it? It might be a little bad right now?”
“The present me said that it might be a little bad?”
That’s a shock .
Might be a little bad? Does that mean the business’s performance is starting to lean?
Last time, the small Rei-chan didn’t say that I was promoted . That’s why I tried hard to try and do something about the company . I thought that by becoming a member of the Hiiragi family I could have a better standing . Even then, there was something lacking it seems .
“What should I do?”
“It’s okay . Even if Senpai turns into some gross NEET, I’ll manage to do something for you somehow . ”
When I held my head, Rei-chan hugged my head . Is Rei-chan the same type as Hiiragi-chan? A machine that produces useless spoiled men?
“What is our relationship?”
“A capable senior employee, and a college student working part time . ”
“Hey, wasn’t there some ill intent mixed in with that capable part… however, there’s nothing more that, right?”
“… Unfortunately . ”
Rei-chan pouted a bit with her cheeks .
“It’s not like I want to become a NEET…”
“You would be able to play as many games as you want, read manga, and just laze about, you know? Recent smartphone games are amazing after all . ”
“Yes yes . Even I know that . I have some people that are close with that are noisy when it comes to those . ”
Hmm? Smartphone game…? Sana didn’t just like console games, but also smartphone games, right? No, to come to like it, is probably the more proper statement .
“I know . Sansan . The super ultra brocon Sansan . The game that she’s playing right now is a simulation RPG… I want to know everything about Senpai ♪”
Eheheh, Rei-chan giggled .
“I see… Once it goes back to ten years earlier, I can make what exists now, earlier than anyone else . ”

Couldn’t it work like this?
“Natsumi-ojousama is still a strong opponent though, so, I’m fine with being second . ”
“Like this, I should hurry up and time leap—Hmmm? What did you just say?”
“Natsumi-ojousama is a strong opponent?”
“Where did Harukojousama go?”
“Who knows? Isn’t she a school teacher?”
“No, not that! She’s not dating me?”
“Isn’t that Natsumi-ojousama? If you’re aiming for both sisters, I’m kind, so I won’t say anything about it for you . ”
W-what happened? I’m Hiiragi Seiji and currently dating Natsumi-chan? Or rather it’s the other way around, I’m dating Natsumi-chan and so that’s how I became Hiiragi Seiji?
When I called Natsumi-chan, she quickly picked up the phone .
“Yes yes? What is it?”
“When did I break up with Haruksan?”
“And I thought it was an emergency… I don’t know for certain, but I believe you guys broke up around your senior year of high school?”
Senior year? That’s quite a while ago . Natsumi-chan was basically saying that right into my ear, but it didn’t enter my head at all .
Then that means that something happens during my second time going through my second year of high school? No . it could be that it became like this because nothing happened between us in our relationship .
I thought that things were going smoothly with Hiiragi-chan and our relationship had progressed on the way to the present . But it might not be about Hiiragi-chan and me in the present . There might need to be some progress in our relationship in the past .
The voices of Rei-chan and Natsumi-chan became distant, and I had the feeling of my consciousness being cut off .
“Wake up . Sanada . Heeey . ”
When I woke up, I was in my own seat at school with Fujimoto shaking me by the shoulders .
“What, so it’s you . ”
“Who would have been better!?”
Confirming with my cellphone, it was the day after returning from the Hiiragi mansion . It was Monday during lunch break . That… wasn’t a dream, right…?
“You don’t look so good? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine . I’ll return to normal in a bit I think . ”
I stood up from my seat and went to the world history reference room .
“This might just be a continuation of our everyday routine, but there is that…”
When I entered, Hiiragi-chan was waiting for me . I was so relieved it almost felt like tears would come out .
“Eh? Seiji-kun, what’s wrong? You’re making the face of a lost dog . ”
“There was, just some things . ”
Hiiragi-chan hugged me .
“It’s okay . I’m here, okay?”
It was like she was treating me like a child . Still, I was staying quiet and continued to allow myself to be hugged .
“Haruksan, is there something that you’re unsatisfied with about me that you would like to say?”
“Eh? … There is, but… I still need to prepare myself some more…”
“If there is then I want you to tell me . ”
“N-now is no good… It’s a secret . It’s not about you being bad, or me being bad after all . ”
That sounds ambiguous .
Is this it? Is this what turns into the reason for our break up?
Even if I asked, she didn’t tell me, so I decided to wait until she had finished preparing her heart .
