"Did you run away?"
Zhuango glanced down at his raised palm, then shook his head and smiled, removed the Zi-O Knight watch from the space-time drive, and ended the transformation.
[It’s really troublesome...]
[Stop an object that has the power of time when there is no other way. ]
[It seems that compared to the invincible appearance of 'future me', 'present me' is still far behind. ]
"Hey, Zhan Rabbit, Dragon I, long time no see... Well, actually it hasn't been that long."
Putting the knight's watch into his pocket, Shogo invited Kiryu Sento and Wanzhang Ryuuga.
"Now, I can take you to my home openly... You must have a lot of questions to ask now, right? Come on, let you try my uncle's cooking, and we will talk while eating."
Zhan Rabbit and Dragon I looked at each other and nodded.
Now, they really have a lot of questions they want to get answers to.
Especially what the boy in blue said had a huge impact on them.
Seeing Zhan Rabbit and Dragon I agreed, Zhuang Wu turned his head back and looked in the direction of Woz.
Then, I couldn't help but be speechless at the extremely convenient way of movement of these people.
"Disappeared again... Well, forget it, let's talk about it next time."
…
…
Watching Shougo, Kiryu Sento, and Wanzhang Ryuuga leave.
Woz came out of the blind spot with a complicated expression.
Just now, looking at that extremely reliable figure, for a moment, he even suspected that the person in the armor was not the young Demon King who had not yet become king, but the one who had shouldered everything and supported everything 50 years later. The true king who has conquered everything—the King of Demonic Time!
However, it was such a being who told him to be mentally prepared. He was very dissatisfied with the future that had happened and wanted to change it...
The first time he heard this sentence, he was not only surprised but also amused.
but,
Now.
[Is it true that the young devil can't do it? ]
He is no longer so sure...
[If the young devil king now can really create a better future, then in the future you... won't have to work so hard? ]
[My...His Majesty the Demon King...]
Woz opened the book in his hand and started reading from the first page, line by line, page by page, countless times.
"--what should I do?"
…
…
"Gates! Wait! Gates-!!"
Watching Gates, whose emotions were exploding and furiously searching for traces of Shougo, as if he might break out and hurt someone at any time, Tsukuyomi once again stood in front of him.
"Calm down! I think we can sit down and have a good talk with Zhuanggo. I don't think the current Zhuanggo will become the Demon King we know."
"Even if he has gained Zi-O's power?"
The angry Gates roared lowly.
He wanted to go around from the side like before, but this time, Tsukuyomi grabbed his arms tightly, preventing him from going around.
Gates asked, resisting the urge to force Tsukuyomi away.
"——Why do you think he won't become the Demon King we know? Just because you saved him? And then he said a few sweet words to you? It made you think that he liked you, so he would change for you. Your own choice?”
"Tsukuyomi!!"
"wake up!"
"It is impossible for that demon king to change his choice for anyone!"
"Even if he really likes you, he's just coveting your body!"
Breaking away from Tsukuyomi who relaxed his strength due to daze, Gates gradually moved away.
Tsukuyomi was left alone and sat softly on the ground.
"Why……"
A line of tears of grievance fell from his eyes.
"Why do you say that? I obviously didn't think about it that way..."
…
…
"Uncle, I'm back. I'll bring extra dishes and chopsticks for two people today. I'm bringing friends as guests."
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Okay, you guys, come on, I'll take you in... Do you want tea?"
Junichiro Tokiwa, who was repairing a radio, saw Shogo and Kiryu Sento and Banjo Ryuuga following him, and walked out from behind the counter to say hello.
"No, just water. We can do it ourselves. If you are busy, don't worry about us."
War Rabbit and Dragon I said quickly.
"Okay, you guys sit down first. I have something to talk to Zhuang Wu first."
With that said, Junichiro Tokiwa pulled Shogo to the side, opened the sliding door of the restaurant a little, and said to Tsukuyomi, who was lying on the dining table inside and was obviously in a sad state.
"——What happened? Zhuangwu, are you bullying others?"
"No, didn't I run out before? She probably went the wrong way and didn't find me. How could I have bullied her?"
Zhuang Wu was confused and said that he would not bear the blame.
but……
"Forget it, I'll go and comfort her."
After Shogo said with a smile, he was about to open the sliding door and go in...but was stopped by Junichiro Tokiwa.
"etc."
Zhuang Wu looked at his uncle speechlessly.
"???"
"Well, what about that? Before that, tell me first, what do you think of the girl inside?"
Junichiro Tokiwa asked.
"Hey, do you still need to say that?"
Zhuangwu put his arms around his uncle's shoulders, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Uncle, look, I am 18 years old this year and will graduate from high school soon, but I have never had a serious relationship. Is this ridiculous? Huh?"
"It's not like... ha, who told you to only focus on exercise before? I remember someone wrote you a love letter, right?"
"Hey, don't mention it. That was written by someone who lost in the game of kings. The girls in school have always regarded me as a dictator and tyrant of rules. They are afraid of me. How could they like me? Besides, , none of them are particularly beautiful."
"This is different..."
Zhuangwu said, pointing to the restaurant behind him and giving a thumbs up.
"She's pure, she's beautiful, and look at those legs... No, uncle, you're not allowed to look at them!"
"Cough...cough! You kid..."
Junichiro Tokiwa, who originally had no strange ideas at all, was almost choked by Shogo's sudden sound.
but……
"I'm talking to Zhuangwu, don't you just fancy her beauty? Don't harm her if she doesn't really like you."
"Tsk, am I that kind of person? Uncle, don't think she looks delicate, but she is actually very powerful. She has been trained, do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, just be sensible. Tell me, when did you meet?"
[--today? ]
Speaking of this time, it's a bit confusing.
From a calendar perspective, they did meet today, but from a time span perspective, the fate between them is much longer.
[A month ago? ]
Or……
"Originating from the Cretaceous period, spanning the Edo period, and half a century into the future, our fate will always be closely connected."
This is the truth.
But to others who don't know better, it sounds a bit ridiculous.
Seeing that my uncle was about to look at him as if he didn't recognize him, Zhuangwu quickly ended the topic, patted his shoulder, and opened the door.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this anyway, just trust me..."
Saying this, Zhuangwu turned his head, and a beautiful face with an expressionless face was very close at hand.
Zhuangwu: "..."
He quickly turned his head and saw with a twitching corner of his mouth that his uncle had slipped away without hesitation.
"——Uh, um, Tsukuyomi."
Zhuangwu turned his face again and asked extremely embarrassedly.
"Can I ask, when did you start listening?"
Tsukuyomi sneered and said, "Look at those legs?"
Zhuangwu: "!!!"
