134-133.QED



The firing point has changed. I see, the dimension shift is changing the sniping point, right? The cool time makes it all clear. And you're sending the bullets past, you're fixing them right after they're fired. The reason you don't shoot right next to the target like you did in the aisle is because you're slower than Misaki and can't handle it? He understands himself to be wary of the possibility of Misaki being able to attack him, at least not with an invincible latent ability... and he can't determine whether or not there is a counterbalance in Misaki's abilities... ...You're being cautious because you don't have any appraisal-type abilities.
""Ryouji!" What are you mumbling about? I'm dead! I can't do it! I'm going to die!

 Pang.
 Another one of Misaki's alter egos burst.
 While I was slowly analyzing the masked chibi, Misaki was creating countless alter egos and running around between the rows of stones.

'Die, die, keep up the good work!'
""I've heard some of the most awful cheering ever!"

 Bang, bang, bang, bang.

Hey! My alter ego is a drain on my energy to create! Can't you do something to help me recover or something!
You've got to have your own strength booster. Use it.
'What do you mean by fighting together.....

 Totally, he's a noisy killer, even though he's in the middle of a battle.
 I used a time-space manipulation cheat to fast-forward the progress of the battle, and quickly let 5 minutes pass.
 Now, the little masked man should have shown himself long ago.

"I knew he was gone.

 We're not fighting in stopped time.
 Even if he's attacking us after he's moved five minutes into the future, we'll eventually catch up to the time he's moved to.
 After five minutes have passed, the masked little guy who had just moved to the future should normally be seen sniping at Misaki in the past.
 On the contrary, if he was ambushed in this room, it wouldn't be surprising if he had been seen earlier.

 The bullet's time residue should be a little off, too.
 Attacking from different future times, such as 1 minute ago or 2 minutes ago, would allow you to follow up on a mistake, or even snipe from different angles at the same time.
 After all, all he's doing is indirectly altering events.

 But he always fires bullets from exactly five minutes away.
 The time residue on the flying bullets is unnaturally constant.

Now we know one thing. He's always five minutes ahead of us. He's always five minutes ahead of us, and he's been keeping a constant distance!

 The true identity of his "Future Walking Cheat" is not the ability to go 5 minutes into the future....
 It was the ability to constantly walk in the future world five minutes in the future!
 And in an independent future time that no one can reach!

Now that we know what we're dealing with, we should be able to figure out how to use it, what to look for, and how to be creative. What's next is how to use it, what to look for and how to devise it...!
Hey, hey! You're not there yet! It's been five minutes already!
Not yet.
How much longer do I have to do this, this kind of stuff!
I told you. Until you're dead.

 Misaki's "Oni! I think I heard a cry of "I'm sorry, but I'll ignore the noise.

 If I can recognize the masked chibi that's using the ability, I'm in a ward, and with a copy cheat, I can use 'future walking' too.
 No, wait........my space-time manipulation cheat is supposed to be an ability that encompasses almost all time-manipulation abilities in the first place.
 If I'm in a state of understanding the concept of future walking, I might be able to use it too.

'Test the thing. Spacetime manipulation future-walking!

 Image and perception are important in the use of the cheat ability.
 It's only within the scope of the sources (rules) set forth in the ability, but you can do what you think you can do, and you can never do what you think you can't do.
 So, in order to inspire himself, he let out a shout that he would not normally do.

 The moment he exercised his ability, all noise disappeared from his surroundings.
 Not only were there no traces of battle, but there was no one left. 

 I see, indeed.
 This is a world five minutes in the future where only I exist.
 The time of the present + 5 minutes, my own future world....

"But even so, I didn't expect you to be here........

 I had that feeling, but there were no masked chibis in this five-minute post world either.

 When I looked at five minutes ago with my past vision's demonic eye, I could see Misaki running around and the three people beating on the wards.
 Naturally, there was still no sound at all.
 His hearing could also hear if he channeled past it, but the masked chibi had no such ability.
 Probably the only thing he himself heard was the sound of the rifle he was pulling the trigger on.

'Not yet, there's still something ... I don't have enough ideas in me!

 We will return to the present by unlocking future walking.

'Ryouzi! I can't, I really can't!
All right. Switch. Look at my eyes.
Why? I knew I had a bad feeling about this--

 Misaki was successfully petrified.
 I'll put it in the sealing beads.

 The shooting has ceased--.

Well, what do you see? It's like Misaki just disappeared out of nowhere?

 At the same time, this is where I allow him to see past me.
 A notation appears in my head's history (log) indicating that I've become the target of a previously blocked ability.
 Furthermore, the Tindaros watchdogs who have observed the space-time interference against me try to spring up from every sharp corner around me... but I raise my hand and order them to wait.

There's no voice, no sign of them. But I know something about the astonishment and fear you are feeling.

 A silent bullet flies precisely toward my side of the head, but I grab it without question.
 It's a sniper with no light or sound in the firing... but a lead bullet that's so far beyond the speed of sound that it's not even increasing in speed is not a threat.

"Bullet time residue is five minutes. And the point of impact, observation. Okay, let's test the hypothesis.

 The source analysis for this dungeon game has already been completed.
 This means that a console command is now available that can be used to modify the game environment itself.

'ID:OB394289048024. ''Erase.''

 The indestructible object, a pillar of rock the scaffolding of the masked little guy will disappear in an instant by my console command.

"You're in the future world, so if the 'present' changes, of course it will be affected as well. It's a weakness you'll know about... no?

 Did you fall unceremoniously as your scaffolding disappeared, or do you at least have an item that reduces your falling speed?
 Did you fly, shift dimensions, or evade just before?
 Well, whichever it is, it's the same thing.

'I knew they'd stop shooting at you.

 I guess it's around now when they try to retreat and realize they can't...they're going to go into hiding and try to get by.

'But I'm stuck. You just shot one at me.

 I'm going to use space-time manipulation to rewind time.
 Back to the time before I was shot.
 The missing pillars of rock will be restored.

"Future walking is always five minutes after the present. Of course, your time will be rewound with it.

 I somehow killed the errand boy when I confirmed the masked chibi's true name.
 Then I rewound time again, but the masked chibi clearly didn't seem to recognize it.
 If that was a pretend one, great, but he can't deal with a high probability of time rewinding.

And this time, I'm going to be able to see the future 5 minutes ahead of the sniper's point. Well, of course you can't see it, but...

 Based on my own experience with the ability I felt when I walked in the future and my own experience with it I was about to find a solution.
 The only thing left to do was to demonstrate it.

''................

 I don't know why.
 I couldn't even hear it, but I felt a gasp.
 Did I feel like I was being watched because I was looking in that direction?

 Immediately afterwards, the bullets fly in.
 The same angle as before, at the same speed and with the same precision.
 Of course, the bullet's fate is the same.
 The feverish rifle bullet with the initials "T.F." engraved on it was in my hand.

 But there was only one thing.
 There was one thing that was clearly different from the ones I had seen earlier.
 Only one thing.

''The time residue is.......1(-)0(-)minute(s)!

 The moment the hypothesis was proven, my brain was filled with adrenaline.
 At the same time as I unleashed the magic wave with an indescribable exhilaration, a tremendous explosion sound resounded in the room.

''Hahaha........hahahahahahahahahahaha! I've got it all. You know where the future world you're walking in is!
