Beyond the Chirping of Cicadas

When Miyauchi Yuuma was six years old, Renka could not say "Nyapas". Kazuho is not a teacher yet, Hikage has not gone to Tokyo yet, and there are only five students in the Asahigaoka branch. As a Chinese high school student born with memories of his past life, Miyauchi has long accepted that he has entered the daily world. He originally thought that the biggest trouble in the future would be how to explain the soaked sandals to his mother after being dragged to the river by Xia Hai. Until that summer, a countdown appeared amid the chirping of cicadas. [Countdown to opening of welfare level: ten days] [Failure penalty: none] [Main world time: pause] Ten days later, when Lianhua was about to bite his finger, the cicada sound suddenly disappeared. When I opened my eyes again, there was no longer rice fields outside the window. Rent is due in ten days, and this is Chicago's South Side. The system has no redemption list, and the damaged reward module cannot issue anything. No equipment, samples, money, or even a piece of paper filled with formulas could be brought back to Asahigaoka. There is no magic, no blood, and no technology that appears out of thin air. What I can take home in the palace is only what I have truly learned. Sometimes, there's no danger in the "Punishment Level." Sometimes, the "welfare checkpoint" may make him never come back. And no matter how many years he spends outside, the cicada chirping in Asahi Qiu will stop at the moment he leaves. Within the chirping of cicadas is daily life, but beyond the chirping of cicadas is another period of life.
