Toward the Dream

Midsummer.

Yuzuki looked around at the unfamiliar scenery in disbelief.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly widened her eyes and turned to look to her left.

A car sped towards them, so close that Yuzuki had no time to react.

She pinned her hopes on Hikari-chan, but he didn't react at all, only chuckling.

Before Yuzuki could think of what to do, the car had already crashed into her.

"Ah!"

She gasped, but what happened next surprised her greatly.

The car drove straight through her and Hikari-chan.

She's like... she doesn't exist in this world.

"?"

A self that doesn't exist... A changing season...

Yuzuki suddenly remembered something, and quickly grabbed Hikari-chan and ran to the convenience store on the side of the road.

She found that she couldn't push the glass door open, but she could walk right through it.

"Found it!"

Yuzuki lunged at a newspaper.

She glanced at the time anxiously.

[Date]

This year.

Uesugi Yuichi.

Grade 11.

That concludes the discussion.

The 19th episode, Part A of "Alien Baby Hikari-chan" has ended.

Part b begins.

Section 90, Chapter 78: Moving Towards the Dream

"This is... time travel?"

In the Great Hua Administrative District, Wu Ping was also watching the premiere of episode nineteen.

He has become a loyal fan because the Alien Baby Hikari-chan, improved his family relationships.

When Wu Ping saw Yuzuki return to the past, he also became excited about the upcoming plot.

Wu Ping knew that Uesugi Yuichi's past would definitely be mentioned, as the earlier plot had already laid a lot of groundwork for it.

The problem lies in how to say it. You can directly use several episodes to force it out, or you can have Uesugi Yuichi say it himself. Actually, it doesn't matter, the audience can accept it.

Wu Ping never expected the supervisor to use this method.

Let Yuzuki go back in time to watch.

That's a really interesting method.

The method of time travel is not unfamiliar to Wu Ping. He has also watched the famous Japan Administrative District, and the cat who was afraid of mice left a deep impression on him.

That animation series touches on time travel.

Alien Baby Hikari-chan didn't set a precedent.

Of course, apart from the cat that loves to eat red bean buns, there aren't many anime that cover this theme, so the episode featuring the Alien Baby Hikari-chan is quite novel.

Let's see how it goes.

Wu Ping continued to watch the animation unfold with anticipation.

"Am I... transported back in time?"

Yuzuki muttered to herself.

She picked up Hikari-chan and pinched his little face. "What did you do, you little rascal?"

"Ugh?"

Hikari-chan chuckled.

The next moment, he suddenly struggled to stand up and reached out his hands behind Yuzuki, begging for a hug.

"Ah, ah! Da!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Yuzuki turned around and found herself face-to-face with a boy, almost kissing him.

"Ooh!"

She screamed and bounced backward, half of her body going through the shelf.

The boy, of course, neither saw her nor heard her screams.

He simply continued to bend forward, with a clean and gentle smile, reaching out his hand.

Yuzuki picked up the "tool" (human figure) and held it in front of her face, secretly watching the boy.

She felt he looked familiar at first glance.

Upon closer inspection, she recognized the man as a young Uesugi Yuichi.

Unlike his later mature and charming self, Uesugi Yuichi youthful innocence.

A fresh-faced, high-quality young man.

The only thing that remains unchanged is perhaps his artistic temperament.

Uesugi Yuichi moved closer and closer, his right hand reaching towards Yuzuki's side, as if he were about to pin her against the wall.

So, amidst the speechless silence of the viewers in front of the television, Yuzuki quickly pressed the "tool person" down.

She squinted, pouted her pink lips, and let out a strange, chuckling laugh.

But Uesugi Yuichi stopped, picked out two loaves of bread, and went to pay.

Yuzuki looked disappointed, but still followed.

After paying and leaving the convenience store, Uesugi Yuichi walked straight towards someone.

A girl.

A girl with short, neat hair, wearing headphones, and carrying a guitar case.

The girl listened intently to the song, her body swaying slightly to the rhythm, her skirt swaying back and forth, her silhouette exuding youthful energy.

"Butterfly, I've bought all my things."

Uesugi Yuichi patted the girl on the shoulder.

"Hmm?... Ah... Let's go then."

The girl, whom Uesugi Yuichi called "Butterfly," turned her face towards him.

Yuzuki was startled.

... What a beautiful girl.

Actually Yuzuki is pretty too, but this girl is even more beautiful.

This "beauty" does not refer to physical appearance, but rather to temperament.

This girl named Die has a strong personality.

It was a burning passion; she seemed to have a strong obsession with something, and her enthusiasm was highly infectious, making her unforgettable at first sight.

It's dazzling.

This is how Yuzuki defines her.

The feelings of viewers in front of the television are much simpler.

Female fans are starting to wonder whether a mature husband or a younger husband is better. (Of course, they'll eventually conclude that they want both.)

Male fans are already celebrating the arrival of their new wives.

That's beside the point, of course.

Yuzuki Sasaki watched as Uesugi Yuichi and Cho left side by side, gritting her teeth and thinking:

This distance!

That's when our shoulders touch from time to time!

Shameless!

So enviable!

Yuzuki, pouting, hugged Hikari-chan and followed behind Uesugi Yuichi and Cho.

Hikari-chan stared curiously at the unfamiliar girl with her round, chubby eyes.

During Yuzuki's pursuit, Uesugi Yuichi and Cho started talking.

Uesugi Yuichi: "Cho, are your parents still against you studying music?"

"Yeah, we did have a fight yesterday... Oh? You heard it?"

"I'm embarrassed," Butterfly said shyly.

"Yes, I heard it."

Uesugi Yuichi nodded.

"I'm sorry, my house is so noisy. But... how should I put it? I've actually given up trying to persuade them."

"Huh?"

"I've figured it out. My dream is mine alone; it has nothing to do with them, right? Whether they understand or not, it's none of my business. All I need to do is strive towards my dream."

Butterfly said casually, her feet hopping along the floor tiles, as if her parents' attitudes were not important to her.

Uesugi Yuichi hesitated before saying, "It seems... to make sense?"

"Right!"

Butterfly slapped Uesugi Yuichi on the back, making him stumble.

"I knew Yuichi would understand me!"

Yuichi!

Yuzuki narrowed her eyes and noticed the intimate way she was addressed.

But something even worse happened.

Butterfly hooked her Uesugi Yuichi's neck and pressed herself against him.

"Stop talking about me, what about Yuichi's parents? Are they still not letting you go to art college?"

"Yes..."

Uesugi Yuichi's face darkened.

"..."

Butterfly noticed his ashen face.
