Railgun Debuts!

Night, at Hinagiku's home...

Ever since they returned, the Student Council President had hidden in her room and refused to come out no matter what.

Even at dinner, despite being tempted by Wu Yan's delicious cooking, she stubbornly refused to open even a crack in her door.

Was that really necessary?

Wu Yan kept grumbling to himself. It had been his first time too, and he had not been this dramatic. His heart had merely beaten a little faster, his face had reddened a little, and he had felt a little embarrassed. Did she really need to be so afraid of seeing anyone?

That was easy for him to say. The Student Council President was so pure that, for fifteen years, no one had even touched her hand. Yet today, the first kiss she had preserved for so long was gone just like that. As an incomparably innocent girl, this reaction was perfectly normal.

The Student Council President's behavior also put an end to Wu Yan's idea of "training" her. It had to be said, she had really escaped a disaster...

Since there was no advantage left for him to take, Wu Yan could only return to his room and eat by himself. When it was time to set off tomorrow, Hinagiku would naturally appear before him.

Yes, Wu Yan planned to take Hinagiku with him!

For no other reason than that he did not want to be apart from her. After all, the two of them were currently enjoying that ambiguous stage before love...

Of course, if he did not want the Student Council President to encounter any danger, Wu Yan would have to put in more effort.

At that moment, Wu Yan was in his room, communicating with the system.

"System, if I leave this world, how can I take other people out with me?" Wu Yan asked solemnly. This was an extremely important matter. If it could not be resolved, he might even choose to stay behind because of it.

"The user need not bring characters out of this world. After returning to the Sparlier World, simply spend a certain number of Summon Points to summon the target character." Other than Wu Yan, no one could hear the system's unhesitating voice.

"Summon?" Wu Yan frowned deeply. "Then would the person I summon still be someone I know?"

"User, every summonable character on the system list exists only once. Every specific character you can summon likewise exists only once!"

"Is that so?" Wu Yan objected. "Then what if the person I summon is the her from before I knew her?"

"That is impossible. When the user is in the Sparlier World, every dungeon world remains frozen. For example, in an anime world, if the user summons a character they have not previously met, then the summoned character will be from the day before the plot begins..."

"I see..." Wu Yan nodded in realization. The summoned character would be from the day before the plot began. He would need to be careful, or if he summoned someone who had already gone dark, he would truly be in trouble.

"Then what about characters I know? For example, characters from this world?"

"When the user has undergone training in a dungeon, that dungeon will remain at the moment the user left once the user is in the Sparlier World. The summoned character will likewise be the character as they existed at the moment the user left."

Hearing this, Wu Yan smiled. "In other words, if I leave this world now, time in this world will stop, and the person I summon—say, Katsura Hinagiku—will be the one currently hiding in her room, right?"

"Yes. A reminder to the user: every character on the summon list exists only once. Each character has only one instance; only the time at which they are summoned differs. There is no second identical summonable character! Please summon carefully!"
