Chapter 16:

Simulation of the Old Time

Eliote's Space Exploration


-Aya... I want to go home this weekend, I miss Mom... The holographic calls are great but seeing Mom in real life is better!

-Let's do it! You need a vacation by dint of exploring planets!

-I literally played tennis last time, do I really have the rights to take a vacation?

-Just before that you saved Kata from an eternal prison, and Frysta from an undoubted death; of course you have the rights!

-Well... Let's go home together!

Eliote and Aye inform Mom of their arrival, by holographic call. So they decide to go back at home with the teleporter of the space station. Not much time after, they are back in a certain laboratory of the planet Erret...

-Mom! I missed you so much!

-Same here Eliote. Welcome home!

-Hello!

-Hi my little Aye!

-Say Mom... Do you remember when I asked you to tell me about your past?

-Yes.

-This time, could you tell me memories of your childhood?

-I even have better than that! I just finished making a machine that exactly fits your demand!

-Ah?

-You see Eliote... I just built a machine that creates a simulation of my memories. You and Aye, you are going to be able to interact with them, and an algorithm will be in charge of generating what will happen next.

-But that's so great!

-You said it Aya! I'm looking forward to try it!

-So follow me!

Kōri, Eliote and Aye are now heading towards another room of the laboratory.

-Enter the capsule, and you will be transported in a simulation of the past! What date do you want me to put?

-Around 2018, I want to see your friends!

-So I think I will put December 2018. A little after Christmas. But, I think that if you tell your Mom of the past that you are her daughter, she's going to only answer ironically and won't trust you, so to prove that you really come from the future, show her this smartphone that dates from my time, and do a video call with me.

-Ah, you found another one?

-Yes, we changed our smartphones quite a lot in my time! Ah and also, the simulation will last for around five minutes.

Eliote and Aye find themselves transported in a simulation of Mom's memories. The 28th of December 2018, 16:35. Near the apartment of the young Kōri, in the town of Lisieux (リジウー), Normandy, France.

-Look Aya, there is Mom from the past, with one of her friends!

-Do we observe the conversation discretly to start?

-If you want!

Young Kōri exactly looks like Kōri but shorter. The only difference is that she has short twintails, and her hair covers even more her left eye. She wears a purple sport sweatshirt with shorts, opaque black tights and brown boots. Now, imagine the most generic «follow without the other noticing» scene. A tall girl with very long straight white blueish hair, blue eyes, and a crescent moon hairpin in the exact same spot as Eliote when transforming. She wears a black leather vest with sleeves, a white tee-shirt and a mid-length black skirt with black boots talks with Kōri.

-Kōri, do you want to exchange animes?

-What does that mean?

-I give you an anime to watch, and you give me an anime to watch.

-If you want, I never did that!

-You are going to watch Stans.,Gate.

-So you are going to watch Spyce and Wolf!

Eliote thinks that it's crazy how they are only talking about anime...

-Have a good weekend Karen!

-See you this evening on 10cordes (ディスカード)!

Now let's go back to Eliote and Aye.

-Eliote, the other girl is leaving, do you think it's the right time to see young Mom?

-Yes!

They approach young Kōri.

-Excuse me!

-Yes?

-I know that this will seem really sudden but... I am your daughter, I come from the future!

-Yes and I come from Liechtenstein, I am in France to overthrow all the capitalist system.

-Is that true?

-No.

-Ah.

-No but more seriously, I really want to trust you because you are cute, but you will need to prove me that you really are my daughter from the future!

-Here, that's a smartphone from the past, I'm gonna call my Mom, so you in the future.

-Hello, me from the past!

-Ah yes she really looks like me in the future! This doesn't seem to be an artificial intelligence, now I trust you! So what did I become?

-You are going to be cryogenized in January 2021 thanks to a laboratory that wanted to do an experiment. The scientists wanted to wait for your death before but you asked them to cryogenized you right now because you wanted to live in the future. You will be brought back to life in 14079 by the same laboratory. They will inject you all their knowledge into your brain, and you will work for them. The 11th of January 14080, you will create your daughter, Eliote, a genetically modified child. Do you have any other questions?

-This exactly sounds like something I would do, create my child the day of my birthday... But... Hmm... Why do my daughter has one wing? Is she human?

-Of course she is! In your time we created fluorescent rats and we grafted a dog's head on another dog while making the two stay alive. But this isn't the most impressive thing. The one impressive thing with Eliote is that she can survive in every environment of every planet!

-Ah we will be exploring planets?!

-Of course! That was one of your dreams right? And it's your daughter that will realize them! She will explore planets, as a journalist, most of the time along with her best friend, Aye, and they will even explore another universe!

-But that's absolutely amazing! And so your name is Aye?

-Yes! It's incredible to be able to see Eliote's Mom but younger!

-You are also really cute! Where do you come from?

-Of the planet Bonisaoruka, I am the last survivor of my species.

-Ah... Hmm... I'm sorry!

-Don't worry, this is behind me now!

Eliote finally talks again.

-In short, to summarize, we came here to learn more about Mom's childhood!

-Well you see, apart from school, play video games and watch anime, I don't do many things!

And it's at this moment that I heard a voice shouting «Kōri!». She approached more and more until I could conclude that she was another one of Mom's friends. A loli-type girl with short blond hair, a huge pink ribbon in the back of her head, a heart ahoge, and blue eyes. She wears a pink and white sweatshirt with a zipper that is semi-open, a white sports bra that we can see, and a pink skirt with striped pink and white thigh-high socks, and school shoes.

-Kōri! Phew you are still there! I just missed my bus because of my physics teacher!

-Ha! Karma! That's what you thought we did when we first met!

-Ah it's nice to have the support of my friend! And otherwise, who are these girls?

-It's my daughter from the future and her alien friend.

-Bruh did you do drugs? Chico! Go search happiness!

-No but lmao Alice! I'm not lying, that is the truth!

Alice now talks to Eliote.

-Is your wing cosplay?

-No, I can even prove it to you by transforming into a magical girl.

Kōri is triggered by hearing the word «Magical girl».

-You can transform into a magical girl?! So cool!

So Eliote transformed into a magical girl.

-Do you still believe that is cosplay?

-Ah! This must really pleases Kōri! But I mostly watch Shōnen anime.

-I love the Dark Magical Girl genre! Me from the future is still a woman of culture!

And at this time, two people that really don't feel they are here for good, came towards them. Both really tall and muscular. One has short left parting red hair and eyes, has a long face and wears a plaid shirt with jeans. The other one has short green hair that are cauled backwards, and blue eyes. He has a squished face and wears an open hoodie that shows his muscles, with swimming shorts. They speak with a strong accent from Normandy.

-Euh là bâ dit Kōri, you do the bacouette in the quart de la rue?

-This fi' with wings... Her thighs makes me want to baffrer myself, if I didn't hold back she would be trempée nié là!

-You I swear...

Even Eliote's translator has problem translating... And at this exact time, it was 16:40, the five minutes have passed, so Eliote and Aye were transported back in the laboratory.

-The simulation is over! So, did you like it?

Aye is scared.

-The past is scary...

-Can you explain to me who were these people?

-The one I was talking anime with is Karen Villaris (カレン · ヴィヤリス), a really kind and calm friend. Afterwards, you saw Alice Alcathéa (アリス · アルカテア), she also watches anime but not of the same genre, and she's really sarcastic. But the two retards that came after... the one with red hair is Damien d'Amiens (ダミャン · ダミャン), and the one with green hair is Denis de Nice (ドゥニス · ドゥニス). I hated them, but since they made me not bored at school, I was glad they existed.

-This was a quite original experiment... I think that I will visit Kirina while I'm here...

Eliote really prefers to explore planets.

-See you soon on another planet!
