In Kusuke's lab, Ikal and Kusuke were still talking.

That name is really stupid… Dark Reunion… Who thought of that?

The Chancellor. He's a bit eccentric, and that's putting it lightly.

More importantly, about you being already dead; so you can't use your powers, right?

Yes.

So how did you manage to teleport Kusuo into that government office?

I can use some of my powers- powers that don't directly affect the reality around me, like mind control, x-ray vision, teleportation, and telepathy. You see, Kusuo, provided enough concentration, can control his full strength. I just made him subconsciously focus on the office, that's all.

Ok, that makes sense, but then can't you get Saiki to teleport back?

I should be able to, but I can't. The place he's in… it's Siberia, but not exactly Siberia. I can't reach him.

Meanwhile… in "Siberia"...

Kusuo had realized something of great magnitude, as he was eating some shashlik that the Russian man made. He had accidentally teleported into a parallel universe where he was the main character in a popular anime.

How the hell do I get out of here?

Somebody that Kusuo knew knew the answer.

...and back to the lab again.

Oh. I see. I might be able to help with that, Kusuke thought, answering Ikal's problem.

You see, I have studied the way that Kusuo teleports. You see, when kusuo teleports, it's not him that moves. He bends reality around him, in a kind of spacetime vortex, allowing him to move the place that he wanted to go to. there is a theoretical shortcoming to this, one that I have already told Kusuo. As he is bending reality around him, there is a small chance that he will end up in a totally different reality, thus jumping universes. So, in his supposed many attempts to get to Siberia, by randomly teleporting until he was in a place that looked like Siberia, he had accidentally jumped universes. So, he is in a parallel universe version of Siberia, probably.

Well, The Chancellor said you were a genius.

The reason I studied his method of teleportation was so I could make a teleporter, obviously… but I ended up making a machine that jumps universes instead of teleport.

So, theoretically, we can just pick him up in the universe he's in, and just come back?

Yes.

Well that's not much of a setback, is it now?

Back in Hidariwakibara-chou…

Teruhashi, Hairo, and Kaidou were sitting around a table in Kusuo's house, silently, eyeing Kusuo's mom, who was also sitting at the table, smiling her usual smile. His dad was at work, probably licking his boss's shoes again for no reason.

Eventually, Teruhashi spoke up. "Hey, where do you think Saiki went?"

"I don't know, he probably went to the convenience store to go get coffee jelly, and got lost on the way back…", Kusuo's mom lied terribly.

Kaidou, abandoning his usual character, said firmly, "We know that Saiki is a psychic."

"Oh. So you do.", Saiki's mom paused, and then proceeded to beam brightly. "Ohhhhhhhh! Kuu-chan finally told you guys!"

Teruhashi, a bit embarrassed, managed a slight giggle. Kaidou, meanwhile, continued with his uncharacteristic solemn face. Hairo seemed uncomfortable. He wasn't sure of what had happened to Kaidou all of a sudden.

"Well, anyway guys, when Kuu-chan gets a bit tired or uncomfortable, he usually takes a little trip to Siberia.", Kusuo's mom said.

It was at this moment that the door popped open. "Hey sweetie, I'm ho- what is this, Kusuo brought over friends? Wait, but where's Kusuo?" It was Kusuo's dad.

"Oh, Kusuo? He probably went to Siberia again.", his mom replied.

"Oh well. He usually comes back within a day or two, just wait."

Teruhashi, a bit weirded out, said, "And this is a regular occurence?"

"Yeah, I guess.", Kusuo's parents said in unison.

And I thought I knew him. I thought I knew him! , Teruhashi thought in a bit of a cliched way.

After a short moment of awkward silence, the three friends left… Little did they know that they were being watched the entire time.
