Chapter 115: ICISEI Episode 115

Episode 115: After four failed attempts, will the final moment finally happen?『 Saiki sighed and said with slight dissatisfaction,

" "What a pity, it didn’t work." "

"A fingertip-sized stone is indeed troublesome; even I can hardly guard against it."

As he spoke, Saiki’s gaze turned to another huge rock.

" "Alright! Let’s try again!!" "

Saiki gently exhaled, turning the last flying rock fragment into powder, his whole body relaxing completely as if relieved of a heavy burden.

At this moment, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

His special training had officially come to an end.

" "Finally, succeeded on the fourth attempt!! And now... three at once this time!!" "

Saiki looked at the three large rocks not far away, a warm smile blooming on his face.

" "Next, I must use all my skills!!" "

As he spoke, Saiki actually removed the limiter from his head!!!

After taking it off, he didn’t forget to explain:

" "After removing this limiter, my power can be fully unleashed, great, now it’s showtime..." "

As soon as Saiki finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to one side!

In an instant, a terrifying surge of air erupted!!

Directly sweeping away everything in front of Saiki!!!

" "Ah... seriously, just a casual turn stirs up an air current that breaks the rocks apart... they’re so fragile, how disappointing. "

Saiki’s face was full of helplessness as he said this. 』

[ Yuki Osanai (Shoshimin): "So incredible!" ]

[ Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto): "His aura alone was powerful enough to shatter those massive rocks!" ]

[ Might Guy (Naruto): "That’s incredibly impressive, even more so than what we demonstrated earlier. It seems I might not be deserving of the title of taijutsu genius after all." ]

[ Rock Lee (Naruto): "But isn’t this the result of using that, what do you call it, psychic power?" ]

[ Might Guy (Naruto): "Hahaha! Strength is strength, no excuses needed. Besides, this gives us fresh motivation to surpass this genius!" ]

[ Bulat (Akame Ga Kill): "Hahaha! Well put, I truly admire you!" ]

[ .....]

『 Meanwhile, on the screen.

Saiki disappeared in an instant.

The scene changed...

Saiki stood on a mountain peak, walking slowly forward, his voice suddenly entering the hearts of everyone watching the video.

" "Just now I said training was to see how much my abilities have improved, but that’s not the only reason I’m doing this, there’s something else." "

As he spoke, Saiki’s eyes fixed on the fissure before him.

" "You all might not have noticed, but the world’s clock keeps turning back. In fact, I’ve been a second-year high school student four times already." "

" "As for the reason, I don’t need to say it, the problem lies with me." " 』

『 .....』

~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~

[ Yanfei (Genshin Impact): "Four times in the second year? So, everything that has happened during this period, he has already fully experienced four times?" ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "But why would that be the case?" ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Could it be he’s particularly fond of this period in second year, so he’s repeated it four times?" ]

[ Yuta Togashi (Chunibyo): "Is this some advanced form of chuunibyou - ⟦ Eighth-Grader Syndrome ⟧?" ]

[ Yuki Osanai (Shoshimin): "Don’t be ridiculous, he actually has psychic powers. How can that be considered chuunibyou?" ]

[ Yuta Togashi (Chunibyo): "Well... That’s true..." ]

[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "Maybe, as previously speculated, something thrilling occurs in the third year?" ]

[ .....]

『 Saiki in the video continued:

" "I used mind control from my psychic powers to alter the perception of time. But this ability only affects people, so time still passes normally, seasons still change, it’s just that people don’t realize they’re not aging, and don’t find it strange." "

" "Most crucially, once this mind control is activated, it can’t be stopped, it’s a dangerous psychic ability that affects the entire globe." "

" "At this point you might be wondering, if it’s so troublesome, why do I insist on doing it?" "

As he spoke, Saiki raised his hand, pointing at the two fissures on the ground ahead emitting black smoke.

" "The source of everything is right here." "

Saiki’s tone suddenly became extremely serious,

" "In two minutes, this volcano will erupt; the recent frequent earthquakes are also its doing." "

" "When it really erupts, people will suddenly realize, this is the most powerful volcanic eruption in our country’s history! At that time, the country’s appearance will be greatly changed." "

Saiki sighed deeply,

The scene suddenly switched to a world map,

Showing the country he was in, Japan,

Which was rapidly turning completely black!! 』

『 .....』

~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~

[ Eri Kisaki (Detective Conan): "Japan, the whole country turns black?" ]

[ Ganyu (Genshin Impact): "Volcanic eruption? And a super large-scale one that can cover an entire country?" ]

[ Aki Tomoya (Saekano): "Isn’t he a psychic? Shouldn’t he be able to solve this crisis?" ]

[ Utaha Kasumigaoka (Saekano): "Maybe he doesn’t know how to handle this crisis without exposing his identity?" ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Although he’s a psychic, no matter what, he’s still a minor." ]

[ Genos (One Punch Man): "We only saw his strength, but completely overlooked his age." ]

[ .....]

『 As the scene continued.

Saiki’s voice was heard again.

" "After this volcanic eruption, the country is about to reach its end!!" "

Saiki’s figure reappeared in the video.

" "Four years ago, I had a dream, it was a dream predicting the future, if left unchecked, the dream would come true." "

" "Therefore, over these four years, the biggest challenge I’ve faced is this unprecedented volcanic eruption, and all I can do is repeat what I did four years ago." "

As he spoke, Saiki approached the fissure before him, looking at the continuously rising black smoke, and slowly squatted down, placing both hands on the ground.

The usual calmness was gone from his face, as if he was making some major psychological preparation, taking a deep breath.

" "The time is about right!!!" "

" "You’re not mistaken! I’m going to stop the volcanic eruption!!!" "

Saiki’s eyes became unusually determined, and a powerful force suddenly erupted from him!!!

" "My power increases every year, although I failed four years ago, this year I might succeed..." "

Saiki’s face showed pain; he seemed to be desperately using his psychic powers to resist the volcano about to erupt.

" "No... I can’t hold it!!" "

However, the surging magma seemed to be continuously breaking through Saiki’s psychic defense, approaching the surface!!

Saiki’s face showed distress. If this continued, he would definitely be burned by the scorching magma!!

" "Really a pity... still can’t do it this year..." "

Saiki sighed, then the video suddenly zoomed out rapidly!!

In the blink of an eye, the camera shot out of Earth, showing the beautiful blue planet!!

It was slowly rotating, but then, a special energy enveloped this blue planet!!

Then, this blue planet actually started rotating counterclockwise at high speed!!

A blinding white light flashed, and the planet seemed to return to its state one year earlier!!

" "Time rewind ability!!" "

The scene returned to Saiki. He exhaled heavily, even for him; using a time rewind ability like this was quite strenuous.

At this moment, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, his back soaked through with sweat.

" "I rewound Earth’s time by one year, although now I can rewind further, doing so would cause a lot of trouble." "

This was the most troublesome problem for Saiki.

Time rewind affects the time of all living beings on Earth; rewinding too much can easily cause chaos.

For example, a child who was in elementary school yesterday suddenly becomes a baby; even the most oblivious person would find it strange.

Saiki looked somewhat dejected, slowly walking down the mountain.

This year, although his power had increased, he still couldn’t overcome the volcanic eruption, filling his heart with frustration.

" "Sigh, Next year, I’ll need to figure out a way to handle this."

" 』

『 .....』

~ Dimensional livestream ~

After Saiki’s explanation, all the viewers suddenly understood.

~ Chat Room ~

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Japan in that world was destroyed once more." ]

[ Eri Kisaki (Detective Conan): "If this were our world, we would have faced destruction four times already without even realizing it.." ]

[ Venti (Genshin Impact): "Haha, but fortunately, he can reset time, so maybe that’s a positive thing." ]

[ Xiangling (Genshin Impact): "Yet it has already been restarted four times, still unable to find a solution to this problem." ]

[ Xiangling (Genshin Impact): "Perhaps, it’s truly unsolvable." ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "No, absolutely must not give up; perhaps, just maybe, this livestream room holds a solution.." ]

[ .....]

『 The video continued playing.

In the scene, Saiki sat quietly in his seat, behind him, Riki Nendou and others formed a circle, chatting animatedly.

"LET’S MAKE A TRAVEL PLAN TODAY!!"

Yumehara Chiyo proposed excitedly.

Her words made Shun Kaido, Riki Nendou, and Aren Kuboyasu pause.

"Travel??"

"Was there such a thing??"

Hearing their reactions, Yumehara Chiyo was a bit unhappy.

"Didn’t we agree long ago to go out together once before changing classes?"

At Yumehara Chiyo’s reminder, Shun Kaido and the others suddenly realized.

"Ah! That thing!"

"Are we really doing it??"

"You guys decide~~"

Yumehara Chiyo saw through Shun Kaido and the others’ absent-mindedness and directly said:

"After school today, gather at Kokomi’s house for a meeting! No one is allowed to skip!!"

These words instantly dashed Aren Kuboyasu and Shun Kaido’s thoughts of slacking off.

Moreover, they have now completely lost any intention of slacking.

Because.

The destination was Kokomi Teruhashi’s house!!!

.....

" After school "

The video showed a room full of girlish charm.

The carpet, wallpaper, curtains, bedsheets, and pillows!

All in sweet girly pink!

Yumehara Chiyo and friends sat around a small table, enthusiastically discussing travel plans.

"I suggest we decide where to go for spring break. Any ideas?"

Yumehara Chiyo, as the initiator, spoke first.

As soon as she spoke, Riki Nendou and the others all talked at once, but with everyone speaking, it was too chaotic to hear anything.

"Hey, one at a time, okay!"

Yumehara Chiyo shouted with some helplessness.

Saiki sat quietly nearby, unexpectedly finding coffee jelly at Kokomi Teruhashi’s house, inwardly delighted.

Thus, while others discussed animatedly, Saiki enjoyed his coffee jelly with relish!

" "Sigh, anyway, I’m not going this time, you can go wherever you want." "

As soon as these words were spoken,

Shun Kaido chimed in.

"How about Oshimai?"

"Sounds good!"

"I’ve never been there!"

Shun Kaido’s suggestion was met with unanimous agreement.

Only Saiki nearly choked on his sweet tea, eyes widening as he stared at Shun Kaido, seeing Oshimai about to be finalized, he quickly interrupted:

" "No! Can’t! Change the location, not Oshimai!" "

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

But Saiki was firm, throwing out a book.

"Look, how about Kyoto?"

The topic seemed successfully diverted by Saiki, Kokomi Teruhashi, and the others enthusiastically discussed Kyoto’s itinerary.

At this point, Saiki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his unusual behavior raised doubts in many viewers’ minds.

Why was Saiki so nervous about Oshimai?

Could there be something special about Oshimai??

Strangely, in the video, somehow, the topic soon circled back to Oshimai.

This left Saiki completely dumbfounded.

How did the topic return again?? 』

『 .....』

~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~

[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "So, in the end, they’re still going to face that place." ]

[ .....]

『 In the screen, Saiki tried every means to divert the topic, but was repeatedly pulled back in vain.

Finally, Shun Kaido asked,

"Saiki, what’s your objection? Isn’t Oshimai a good destination?"

"Think about it, there are the four famous hot springs, one of Japan’s four great scenic spots, Nagatani Garden is among the four great gardens, and Oshimai Castle is one of the four great castles."

Saiki listened to Shun Kaido’s words, somewhat amused,

"I remember these were all among the four greats before?"

"Ah! And Mt. Owari is also very famous!"

After Shun Kaido dropped the last place name, Saiki’s thoughts once again pierced through the screen, echoing in every viewer’s heart.

" "That’s exactly why! Because of that, we can’t go to Oshimai!" "

In the video, the scene suddenly changed to a huge volcano!

Then, Saiki’s voice was heard again.

" "I believe by now most of you have some idea?" "

" "That’s right, Oshimai’s Mt. Owari is the culprit behind Japan’s apocalyptic volcanic eruption! That disaster almost pushed this country to the end of the world!!" "

" "Unfortunately, I can’t explain this to them clearly." "

But regrettably..

With a loud declaration:

"IT’S DECIDED! TO NINBU!! NO MORE OBJECTIONS!"

In the end, the travel destination couldn’t be changed by Saiki; it was still Oshimai with Mt. Owari!

Saiki watched the cheering crowd, not wanting to dampen their spirits.

Because he was thinking....

He would handle the volcano and prevent its eruption!!

" "Sigh... forget it, I’ll stop the volcanic eruption myself, besides the eruption date is April 10th, as long as they don’t go that day, it’s absolutely safe!" "

At these words, all viewers noted them down.

But they couldn’t help but frown.

Because in many people’s eyes, Saiki’s nickname shouldn’t be "Saiki", but "Prophet".

Because most of the bad things he says come true.

This is just too outrageous!

Given this situation, this time is probably no exception....

Sure enough!

Next in the scene, Yumehara Chiyo immediately said:

"Let’s set it for April 9th and 10th!"

" "Huh???" "

In that instant, Saiki’s eyes widened like bells, his face full of confusion.

At this moment, Saiki panicked.

Why did they have to pick that exact day!? 』

『 .....』

~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Ah, the timing is perfect—right as it’s about to erupt." ]

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "This time, Saiki really needs to resolve this crisis." ]

[ Genos (One Punch Man): "Faced with this world-ending crisis and having failed four times before, what approach will be taken this time?" ]

[ .....]

『 Then, in the video, Saiki launched a new round of "resistance" regarding the date issue!

Of course, the result was as everyone expected....

"Alright! It’s settled! Gather on April 9th! We’ll have fun from the 9th to the 10th!"

With these words, the matter was set in stone, Saiki’s face full of helplessness.

He gave in!

As time passed.

The scene changed

On April 9th, the group arrived in Oshimai, starting to enjoy themselves.

Although there was a minor hiccup with forgetting to book a hotel, with the help of a wealthy young man, they still stayed in a luxurious presidential suite. 』
