Accompanied by the sound of birds chirping outside the window, Lin Xiao woke up from his "own" high-end apartment.
He picked up his phone and decisively sent a message to Shizuka Hiratsuka:
[Teacher Hiratsuka, in order to repay my kindness for carrying you from the street to the "doghouse" last night, and because I didn't take a video of you holding a street lamp and shouting that you want to get married, I'm asking for a day off today, I hope it will be approved.]
After sending the message, Lin Xiao directly changed his phone to Shizune. You can completely imagine that Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had just woken up from a hangover on the other side at this moment, went crazy and ran wild when he saw this message.
"Occasionally, it's time to take a break for yourself and enjoy the life of a pure comic fan."
Lin Xiao put on casual clothes and walked out of the apartment.
Finally, we came to a bakery with a strong aroma of wheat.
[Furukawa Bakery].
Pushing open the glass door hung with wind chimes, there was a crisp "ding-dong" sound, and the warm atmosphere of the store hit your face.
"Welcome!"
Behind the counter, a gentle girl with short brown hair and two trademark dull hairs on her head immediately raised an infectious smile.
Next to her was a young man who was helping to put freshly baked bread on the shelves.
Calculating the timeline, they have now graduated from high school and are preparing for their upcoming wedding.
Looking at the immortal couple in front of him who have experienced countless laughter, life and death in the original work, they are now standing in front of him lovingly.
Lin Xiao's mouth corners couldn't help but raise, and his eyes were full of unabashed relief.
"Hello, sorry to bother you." Lin Xiao said hello with a smile.
"Hello." Nagisa Furukawa bowed slightly and was extremely polite, and was about to ask him what kind of bread he wanted to buy.
However, Tomoya Okazaki, who was standing aside, frowned more and more.
Tomoya's intuition was quite keen. He stared at Lin Xiao's face, which seemed to be about the same size as himself, and couldn't help but take half a step back.
"I said this guest... why do you look like a kind old father???"
"..."
Lin Xiao resisted the urge to roll his eyes and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Ahem, don't worry about these details... are you getting married soon?"
As soon as these words came out, Nagisa Furukawa's face instantly turned red to his ears, and he lowered his head shyly.
Tomoya Okazaki also blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Ah... yes, the ceremony will be held next month."
"I don't agree!!!"
At this warm moment, the curtain in the bakery was suddenly violently opened!
Akio Furukawa held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, waving a baguette in his hand, and rushed out yelling like a grumpy old man guarding a calf.
"Who allowed you, a bad boy, to marry my lovely Nagisa?! I absolutely do not agree with this marriage!!!" He pointed at Tomoya with his French stick and roared with tears streaming down his face.
Faced with this daily family drama, Tomoya covered his face helplessly.
"Qiusheng, please be quiet. There are still customers in the store."
Sanae Furukawa walked out of the room gracefully. She still maintained the girlish appearance that seemed to never grow old, and smiled to comfort her irritable husband.
Then, Sanae walked to the counter, a little confused, but still looked at Lin Xiao gently:
"Sir, what can I do for you? Are you a friend of Tomoya or Nagisa?"
Looking at this happy scene, the family of four has no idea how desperate they will face in the future.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath.
In the post-marriage plot of <CLANNAD>, Nagisa Furukawa will die of dystocia when giving birth to her daughter Ushio Okazaki due to being frail and sick since childhood.
As a result, Peng was depressed and depressed for five years. In the end, even his young daughter died in that snowy winter.
Although in the ending of the original work, Tomo also collected the light of the town to trigger a miracle, turning back time and saving Nagisa.
But those five years of heartache and despair were truly engraved in my soul.
Now that Lin Xiao, this Light Giant, is here, of course he cannot let this tragedy happen again.
"I'm not their friend."
Lin Xiao shook his head, looked at Nagisa Furukawa's gentle but morbid face, and said softly:
"I'm here to give you a little help."
"It's also to fulfill a... little dream of my own childhood."
"Help? Dream?"
The four members of Furukawa's family looked at each other in shock, and three question marks popped up on their foreheads, "???"
Lin Xiao didn't explain too much, he slowly raised his right hand.
"I have a touching little story here."
"About your future, about this town, and about... a girl named "tide"."
Buzz--!
As Lin Xiao finished speaking, his fingertips suddenly bloomed with an extremely pure red and silver shimmer.
Lin Xiao flicked his fingers, and the "Light of Gaia" instantly turned into dots of starlight, directly sinking into the eyebrows of the four people!
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
The pupils of the family of four suddenly shrank, and a huge and extremely real "future memory" exploded in their minds like a movie!
They saw Nagisa's joy after becoming pregnant and her weakness due to illness and being bedridden;
I saw the blizzard that took away Nagisa's life, and I saw Tomoya walking like a zombie for five years after losing his lover;
Seeing the flower field, the sensible daughter tide threw herself into Tomoya's arms, crying and saying, "The only places to cry are the toilet and dad's arms";
I also saw at the end, the little body whose life was gradually passing away in the heavy snow, and Tomoya's heartbreaking roar of despair...
"Danglang."
Akio Furukawa The baguette in his hand fell to the ground. This tough guy father who had always been carefree had his eyes red at the moment and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Sanae covered her mouth, tears falling like a flood from a dam.
"Nagisa... Nagisa..."
Tomoya Okazaki seemed to have experienced a long cycle of life and death. He opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for air, and could not even stand still.
When he turned his head and saw the intact Nagisa Furukawa beside him, the strong young man collapsed. He hugged his wife tightly and with all his strength into his arms, crying until he couldn't stop crying.
"Tomoya-kun... I'm fine... I'm here..."
Nagisa Furukawa also burst into tears. She hugged Tomoya back, feeling the heavy love in her mind that spanned life and death.
"This... is this our original future?"
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, peeled off a trace of the Light of Gaia that represented "Earth's Will", and lightly touched Nagisa Furukawa's forehead.
"Not anymore."
"Miracles, you don't need to wait until you lose everything before you collect them."
Lin Xiao looked at Nagisa gradually turning rosy, completely getting rid of the root cause of weakness, and said softly:
"This town, and this planet, protects good people."
"Nagisa Furukawa, I have completely eliminated the root cause of the disease in your body. In the days to come, no matter it is windy or snowy, you will be very healthy."
Feeling the warm power in his body that seemed to be reborn, Nagisa Furukawa touched his heart blankly.
Akio and Sanae saw their daughter's face instantly becoming healthy, and they were so excited that they knelt down to Lin Xiao on the spot.
"Thank you... Thank you!!!" Tomoya Okazaki held Lin Xiao's hand tightly and cried like a child.
"Okay, you're welcome."
Lin Xiao waved his hand, turned and walked towards the door of the bakery.
"Right."
Lin Xiao opened the door, accompanied by the crisp sound of wind chimes, he looked back at the male and female protagonists hugging each other tightly, and left a last warm blessing:
"I wish you a happy wedding in advance."
"Please wait." Akio Furukawa stood up quickly.
"I haven't asked for your name yet."
"Name?" Lin Xiao thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled.
"My name is ordinary, so just call me - "Saga"."
"Saga???"
"Well, the miracle of recovery from despair." After saying that, Lin Xiao strode into the sunshine,
Only a family of four was left, hugging each other tightly in the shop filled with the aroma of bread, welcoming a life with no regrets.
