Night.
Narumi Detective Agency.
On the chair behind the desk, Shotaro Zuo suddenly opened his eyes.
"Philip——!!!"
He suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
Looking around, his thoughts froze for a moment, and he quickly understood the situation.
——He is going to find Philip!
This thought occupied Shotaro Zuo's entire head in the blink of an eye, so he immediately walked around the desk and ran outside without even taking the top hat placed on the table.
Click!
He turned the door handle and opened the door. The first moment he saw the person outside the door, his breathing stopped subconsciously.
A man who was sweating profusely and panting raised his hand to the door handle, as if he was about to push the door open, so after realizing that the door was opened from the inside, he subconsciously raised his head, and the two people's reflections were reflected in each other's at the same time. In the pupils of the eyes.
This man, who seemed to have just finished running a marathon, was stunned for a moment by this unexpected situation, and then a smile suddenly spread on his face.
"Hello, Shotaro."
"How did you..."
"Well, how should I put it? It seems that I arrived at this timeline earlier than you, so I came to find you..."
Before the man finished speaking, he heard a shout. Shotarou Zuo opened the door and hugged the man excitedly.
"Philip——"
"Hey...you don't look like a tough guy at all, Shotaro!"
Phillip smiled and dodged Zuo Shotaro's bear hug. After walking into the office, he turned around. While backing up, he raised his hand to skillfully scold Zuo Shotaro for his half-heartedness.
"Why are you asking me to refresh my understanding of you? You are still the same as before."
Zuo Shotaro doesn't care about this. He is happy now, and happiness must be shown.
But before Zuo Shotaro could continue to say anything, he saw the door leading to the garage opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man walked out of the garage, smiled and spoke in response to Phillip's words.
"Because he's still just a dabbler now."
"Uncle..."
Because of the appearance of this middle-aged man, the expressions on the faces of Zuo Shotaro and Phillip showed varying degrees of stagnation.
Then, Philip's face showed a smile of confirmed relief and great interest.
However, Zuo Shotaro suddenly turned red after being stunned, and then subconsciously scratched his neck and retorted.
"I'm not a dabbler!!"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and raised his hand to rub Zuo Shotaro's head. Suddenly, Zuo Shotaro's eyes couldn't help but turn red even though he was already a grown-up young man.
However, the middle-aged man did not notice the expression of Zuo Xiangtaro, because before that, Zuo Xiangtaro had already lowered his head. At the same time, another voice came from outside the door, attracting the middle-aged man's attention.
"Are you teaching your disciples again? Zhuang Ji."
A woman whose youthful beauty could be seen at a glance walked in from the door. After greeting Narumi Shokichi, she immediately looked at Philip with annoyance.
"Come on, why is it so urgent that you have to come here now?"
Hearing someone calling Philip's real name, Zuo Shotaro quickly rubbed his eyes, raised his head, looked in the direction of the sound, and found that the speaker was a woman he had never seen before.
"she is……?"
Shotaro Zuo asked Philip quietly.
Phillip glanced at Shotaro Zuo and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he took a few steps forward and said to Fumin Sonosaki.
"Mother……"
Shotarou Zuo immediately looked at Sonosaki Fumin in surprise, and several question marks were slowly placed on his head.
Since Phillip calls her mother, that means...she is Sherard? That Sherard with his whole body covered in bandages! ?
hiss!
This change was really big, so he couldn't react for a while, but thinking about it carefully, well, the voices are indeed quite similar... Hi, of course they are, because they are the same person.
It's just that Zuo Shotaro's emotional changes were indeed a bit rude, so before that, Phillip had already stood in front of him, blocking his rude eyes and expressions.
They actually have the memory of this timeline, but they need to calm down and recall it. This may be a bit difficult for Shotaro Zuo, who has been emotionally unstable since the timeline changed, but for someone who once owned the "Earth Library" "For him, it's very simple.
Phillip smiled and continued to Sonosaki Fumone.
"A commission that Shotaro and I took on was successfully completed just now. I want to tell Shotaro about this as soon as possible."
Sonosaki Wenyin laughed: "You can also say it on the phone."
Narumi Shokichi was a little surprised.
"Commission? Have you received any commission recently? Why didn't I know?"
Phillip raised his hand, raised his index finger and shook it on the side of his head, and said with a smile: "Secret."
"Oh~? Really?"
Narumi Shokichi looked over Philip at Zuo Shotaro behind him.
At this time, Zuo Shotaro, who had calmed down, and Philip, who turned to look at him at the same time, looked at each other. Smiles bloomed on their faces at the same time, and they said in unison.
"Well, it's a secret!"
…
…
Sonosaki Zaibatsu Building.
In the president's office, Sonosaki Saeko stood by the window, looking down at the bright lights below, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking, and letting the cold wind blow her long hair hanging down her sides.
Click!
The door of the office was opened from the outside, and a woman in professional attire walked in with high heels. She took a coat off the hanger, walked behind Sonosaki Saeko, and gently put it on her body.
"It's late at night, Saeko, be careful of catching a cold."
Sonosaki Eiko crossed her arms and moved her eyes to the side, falling on Michiko Yamamori's left hand which was resting on her shoulder and helping her smooth the wrinkles in her clothes. Looking at the diamond ring on the ring finger of Michiko Yamamori's left hand, she suddenly spoke. said.
"Hey, Michiko, do you think it's time for me to try to get married?"
Michiko Yamamori stopped moving her hands. After she glanced at Saeko Sonosaki in surprise, she took Saeko Sonosaki into her arms and said teasingly: "Hey, who has entered our Saeko club?" Do you have eyes? Tell me and let me help you check?"
"Humph, there is a sales manager named Sudo Kirihiko. I dare not say anything else. His sales ability is definitely better than that of yours, and he is absolutely obedient."
Sonosaki Saeko proudly raised her chin and said with a smile. Her satisfaction with that person could be heard in her words.
But after hearing this, Michiko Yamamori's expression was a little tangled. She asked with some uncertainty: "Wow~ My President, are you sure you are looking for a husband?"
"certainly!"
Sonosaki Saeko nodded reservedly, and then buried her head in Yamamori Michiko's neck.
"I don't want to go home today. I don't know why. I always feel a little afraid of seeing my father and Wakana, so... stay with me, Michiko."
The moist heat of breath spread on the skin of her neck. Although she was a little confused, Michiko Yamamori did not ask. Instead, she smiled softly and caressed Sonosaki's back and answered softly.
"good."
…
…
At the same time, Tokiwa Shougo, who took the Time Demon Machine from the "past" and returned to the present, was shocked to find that three people had clearly booked the hotel, but now he was the only one who returned to the room!
It's normal that Gates didn't come back, but why didn't Tsukuyomi come back? ? Why! ? Why! ! ?
Tokiwa Shougo quickly called to inquire, but he only got an answer of "I am surfing the Internet, don't disturb me" and the call was immediately hung up.
Tokiwa Shougo: "..."
He took a deep breath, snorted coldly, and took out W's knight watch.
"Do you think I can't find you like this? Tsukuyomi!!"
【Earth Library! Enter--】
However, after a moment, Tokiwa Shogo opened his eyes with a confused expression.
"???"
Why can't he get in?
Tokiwa Shogo looked down at the ground in disbelief.
"Am I... disliked by the earth? Why, hey-!?"
