"All of you guys did a wonderful job ☆!"
The robotic voice exclaimed with excitement as it's similar kind backed her up with smiles and nods. It was a tiring evening for wonderlands x showtime and the vocaloids in the sekai were trying their best to keep up their motivation. After all what value does an effort have if it doesn't kept up until it's success?
"Hehe..thank you guys.."
The green haired girl said with a lower voice compared to her other friends. She had a calm nature outside of the stage unlike the pink and yellow - haired duo cheering for their group with screams. 'You will get used to it after a while' she would say if this scene claims to be looking weird by somene from outside.
"Hahaha! Of course..we are getting better day by day! I can feel it!"
He laughed again which was accompanied with Emu. How did even this two always succeed matching this much with a real high energy? Nene already wanted to go home just to sleep and she is sure Rui is also isn't acting that active compared to the morning.
"Now let's not act like we just conquered the world shall we?"
Nene said with a sigh with caused a small chuckle from Rui.
"Even if I really appreciate the spirit Nene seems to be right.. It's getting late wouldn't it be better to save our energies for tomorrow and school? The exams are about to start after all"
"Oh yeah.."
This conversation that straight up changes the entire mood made them decide to say goodbye to each other and leave the sekai. Firstly Nene then followed by Rui and Emu only Tsukasa was left in the sekai.
"Hey- Tsukasa kun."
As he was about to leave he was interrupted by Miku's voice. Paying attention to the sudden words he stopped as he turned back to face her. He didn't even noticed the usual song of sekai starting to fade away.
"Yes, Miku? Is anything wrong?"
The girl looked at him as her usual overly happy expression started drowning into one that's been looking disturbed.
"I..dont feel really great.."
She said as she curled into the ground like she was about to throw up. Tsukasa - with a slight panic raising his chest also leaned down close to the kinda human.
"Miku what's happening!? Can you talk with me?"
He continued saying words to both somehow calm himself down and make out what's happening until he cut himself off suddenly when he took the girls face in his hands.
The eye sockets that were place for blue eyes..was empty like a black void. Even if he looked inside nothing could be seen. He looked deeper and deeper until he dropped the girls face with a scream when the blackness reached into his hands with droplets. He searched for anything or anyone to do something but that only made him realize no one except the two was here anymore. They were- gone. None of the other vocaloids could be seen. Where were they?
His little search with his eyes ended as he focused again on the girl who was now laying on the floor. Tsukasa felt a huge guilt for dropping her down like she didn't mattered and with that guilt he built up a little courage to get closer to her again. As he made a few small steps, reaching the girl he again had to freeze on where he was when he heard a voice in from the girl.
"Hey- are you there?"
Yes it was a voice. Not 𝘩𝘦𝘳 voice. It belonged to a guy. Who might be in his adulthood. But the voice- it was coming out from Miku. It was her lips that are moving. It was her body that was talking. But the person behind the words.. It wasn't her.
"Tsukasa. Can you hear me?"
Did that thing- just said his name!? It was his name yes. He collected his thoughts back as he got closer to miku and sat down beside her body like trying to hear a voice from a phone more clearly.
"Y-yes I can hear you..who are you? How do you know me?"
His voice unwantedly shaked a little as he said this. After what was happening right now was scary even if he didn't wanted to admit. With the end of his sentence the voice let out a relaxed laugh. A laugh that was too similar for good.
"Haah- you got me scared for a second. I thought I got the wrong person. Or the wrong time."
The voice seemed too relaxed for whatever was happening right now.
"Hey. Sir can you answer my question please?"
"Oh yeah yeah. Okay now this all happening right now and what I will say can both be sound crazy to you right now.."
He paused for a second like he was trying to get Tsukasa ready for what he is about to say.
"...I am you Tsukasa. Well from the future but still you."
Tsukasa took some time to process his words in his mind. It seemed like it had meanings but his mind wasn't understanding that right now.
"Me..from.. THE FUTURE!?"
The guy- well future Tsukasa laughed with the sudden outburst.
"Yeah it's unbelievable. And since we are there sorry for using dear miku to communicate. I didn't had any other choice..it should be traumatizing from you I apologize."
Tsukasa was still trying to process the reality of the situation. Was it some of these weird dreams he is having again? Or could it be someone trying to trick him?
"How can I know you are saying the truth? I don't even think it is possible to communicate with past. "
He said with a sudden sternness in his voice. This made the other him silent for a few minute which means maybe he is right about this-
"When you were in 1st grade in a winter day while you were returning from school-"
"Okay okay! I believe in you shut up!"
The recall of the memories made him flinch in the agonizing embarrassment he felt. Yeah no one could know -or at least remember- this except himself that's true.
"See I am indeed you."
He said with a sky voice.
"..yes you are. You really are me- I-.."
He was stunned to speak for a second. It was really an original experience he can say.
"..why are you talking with me? You- we..ugh whatever should have a reason right?"
This question that he asked without much thinking immediately changed his future self's demeanor. He could feel the shift even if he wasn't able to see him. The body they were using to communicate now regained her eyes for a second as also the voice glitched in its own way.
"Shit. We don't have much time I must be fast. Tsukasa listen to me now."
Even the sudden seriousness caught him off guard he nodded like he was able to see him and made a him to tell him to go on. Who is he to say otherwise anyways this was literally him.
"You must kill Shinonome Akito."
...
"WHAT!?"
The glitch started rising again as more than mikus voice started being heard instead of his future self.
"Listen to me carefully kid. I know this will sound like something impossible and too harsh for you but you must kill Shinonome Akito before it's too late. I'm saying again, it's not up to your fucking choice Tsukasa! KILL SHINONOME AKITO
BEFORE

Silence.
After that even if he called for him a few times he didn't get any response. Akito? As in the one in his school? Yes it was him. But why him? What does he even have to do with his life they weren't even that close?
He was too caught of in his thoughts that he didn't even notice miku turning back to normal as also the cheerful song of the sekai returned back too. The girl gripped on his hands to help her stand up like nothing ever happened.
"Tsukasa kun you seem weird. Did something happen?"
Miku said with her high voice again that got a concern now. Everything seemed to be turned back normal. Like nothing ever happened..
"Yeah- of course everything is okay! I'm just a little tired that's all."
Even if Miku seemed not fully convinced about how Tsukasa forced his hesitation to his usual self she decided not to push it furthermore.
"If you say so.."
Tsukasa smiled at her last time before leaving sekai. The both of them had a weird feeling about this with different reasons.
'Before it's too late' his future self said after all.
Before it's too late.
