Sakurada Reset (Sagrada Reset)

There was nothing I could do about Urachi-san's plan.

Is Urachi-san's plan that perfect?

Even if I try everything I can think of,

information on abilities will disappear from Sakurada exactly as Urachi-san expects.

Couldn't you have chosen a future where Ukawa-san doesn't use her ability?

Nope.

Even if I'm able to urge her not to use her ability, he can use another method.

Doing things repeatedly until you succeed is the simplest, sure-fire way to win.

The problem is the fact that we're not in a position to win.

No matter how many times we stop his plan, Urachi-san won't lose.

He'll just prepare a plan B.

That means we need a way to put an end to his plan before he succeeds.

But I wasn't able to find a way.

If you can't find a way, then no one can.

How come?

The rules of abilities are absolute.

Unless there's an ability user who's at least on your level, it's impossible.

Do you really believe that?

Being indirect even though you know the answer is a bad habit of yours.

Hey, Soma...

I don't want to create a girl who will just disappear.

Yeah, I know.

But you'll do it.

Kei, use my precognition.

With my ability, you'll find the future that I wasn't able to...

the best future for you.

That's all I have to say.

Really, that's all I've got.

It's all up to you now.

Yeah.

I'll try as much as I can to aim for my ideal.

How does it taste?

It's very delicious. And it sort of has a nostalgic flavor.

Putting in plenty of tomatoes and just a little bit of yogurt are the most important parts.

When I was little, my mom would add in yogurt so that it wouldn't get too spicy for me.

She gradually decreased the amount, but my mom's curry did have just a bit of yogurt in it.

But the flavor is a little different, isn't it?

That's true. Is there a reason for it?

There isn't one.

An unopened novel that I liked ten years ago

What I pretended was so me

I laugh at the people who speak smugly

Borrowing words from the greats

As if those words were their own

But the way I was, lacking in self-awareness

Was kind of the same thing

I actually knew that

I reset my mind now

I am the one who will let go of myself

I firmly told myself within my heart

Even if people talk about me behind my back

I'll only face forward

I would rather carve my way

Instead of following the footsteps that the world had left behind

If it's a path I believe in

I can go down it without getting lost

It's okay

Excuse me, I'm looking for a cafe.

It's a cafe called "Small Forest."

Oh!

If you're looking for Small Forest, go straight from here... I believe it's over there.

I can see her future. It seems he reset everything. If you're looking for Small Forest, go straight from here... I believe it's over there.

Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver.

No problem!

It seems my job was completely done before I knew it.

I also have no reason to meet Masamune Urachi again.

If anything, I shouldn't get caught by Masamune Urachi.

I shouldn't be Kei's Achilles heel and be his liability.

Parking lots are surprisingly hard to find.

We'll be late to our date with the Second Witch, if we don't hurry.

I'll answer it.

Hello?

I found a parking lot.

No, forget it.

The Second Witch was headed to the cafe, but she changed her course.

It seems she intends to flake out on our date.

What will we do?

We'll go after her. We've got her location.

First, let's pick up Kagaya.

Understood.

It seems the Second Witch asked a passerby where the cafe was, right before she strayed off course.

Would she figure out something by seeing a passerby's future?

Of course, she would!

Just by peeking three days into the future, she'd know whether the reset ability was used or not.

She changed her route after checking the passerby's future.

Hey, good job. Take this.

Contact Surveillance.

We're going to pursue the precognitive ability user right away.

Yes, sir.

Was the reset ability used?

Yeah.

It's funny.

It seems my plan succeeded without a hitch.

I don't understand what you mean by that.

In other words, the reset ability was used, because memories of abilities disappeared from Sakurada.

Asai-kun did something. Did he use that old man's photo?

How did the future me miss that?

Well, it isn't a problem at any rate. Everything is moving along smoothly.

We'll just move my plan into the next phase.

I will decide if he and everyone connected to him are hindrances to my plan.

Let's get rid of them efficiently.

Kei, what on Earth is going on?

The situation is far too complicated to explain, and we don't have much time.

Could you help me with something for just 30 minutes without asking any questions?

Sure, I'm cool with it. You always seem busy.

That's not true.

I'm usually busy when I ask for your help, that's all.

But it's the night of the school festival.

The school festival was three days ago for me.

Is it just us three members?

No. There's one more.

We're meeting up with Sakagami-san.

What? That brings back memories.

What was that little girl's name again?

Mari Kurakawa.

You're right. It's the same exact members as that time.

Soma isn't here.

No, she is.

This is a special photograph that was taken with an ability.

If you tear it, you can recreate the world pictured in it for only ten minutes.

Which means, we can see Soma?

Yeah. Just for ten minutes.

It's her from two years ago, mind you.

It's been a while, Sakagami-san.

Yeah. Long time no see.

Is all that stuff you said true?

Yes. I'll prove it to you now.

I want to save her.

Anyway, let's go see Soma.

I seriously can't believe it.

I don't have time to explain right now.

Please understand just the important stuff.

Please copy Soma's ability to me once we enter the photo, Sakagami-san.

Also, you're free to talk to her as much as you want for ten minutes.

Got it.

Tomoki, please use your ability as needed. And keep an eye on the time.

Just leave it to me!

It doesn't matter what you do, so I want you to talk to me the entire time.

Talk...?

It's a necessary procedure for seeing the future.

I must have a conversation with my target.

If I see your future, Haruki, I'll even get a general idea of my own future.

All right.

I'm now going to create a girl who will disappear in ten minutes.

I'm going to create a girl who can't be saved at all...

just to use an ability...

A girl who looks exactly like Sumire Soma.

Now, let's begin.

We're inside of the photo?

I've been expecting you, Kei.

Is Masamune Urachi coming after me right now?

I wish I could check with my ability, but I shouldn't use it now.

Only a precognitive ability user can change a future that they saw with their ability.

Kei should be using my precognition within the photo right about now.

I might change the future Kei sees, if I carelessly use my ability.

Hey everyone, long time no see.

Soma-san!

Soma, how much do you know?

I believe I know mostly everything that's going on.

I'm sure things are progressing exactly like my script so far.

Come on, copy my ability to Kei.

Soma-san, you're...!

Let's save it for later. We really don't have much time.

R-right...

I'm ready.

Kei, give us instructions.

I'm going to look into Haruki's future.

First, seeing about forty-eight hours into the future would be good.

Sure thing.

Now, let's talk about something.

All right, then.

I know about things I shouldn't know now.

The things Haruki knew forty-eight hours into the future, what she was thinking, and her feelings...

I know all of it right now.

This precognition is no simple ability.

My ability is strongly affected by others.

It's probably because I got it right after I was born, before I was aware of myself.

This ability doesn't protect my sense of self.

That's why right after I met you, I wasn't able to avoid you, Kei.

The future I saw through you was sweeter, sadder, and more beautiful than anyone else's.

So, I couldn't see anyone but you.

Keep going.

First, I'll memorize everything the Haruki from two days into the future knows about Soma.

Okay, what should we talk about?

Anything you want to talk about.

Some idle chit-chat would be nice; something harmless.
