During the time when Tokiwa Shogo went to Fuuka High School, Tsukuyomi was shocked to find that the world she was familiar with... had changed!
Why did it change?
No... maybe, the world is always like this, but she has never discovered it before.
And there is no doubt that the reason she can discover now...
"Is it because I became a time user?"
Pedestrians stopped moving, vehicles stopped moving, clocks stopped moving...
Tsukuyomi looked around with a very complicated expression, looking at the world where time had stopped turning, silently.
So, what happened?
She just came down to buy breakfast. Why did time suddenly stop?
And similarly, just when she was in a daze, time suddenly resumed its movement.
People passed by her, coming and going.
Vehicles were speeding on the road, and the sound of engines filled their ears.
Tsukuyomi felt that feeling of being out of tune with the world again.
But this time it was not a temporary symptom caused by a change in the timeline, but because she actually discovered the "abnormality" of the world she lived in!
Tsukuyomi walked numbly through the crowd again and continued walking towards the breakfast restaurant he had been eating in the past few days.
After a long queue, it was finally Tsukuyomi’s turn.
Tsukuyomi said to the boss: "Hello, please give me..."
Da da da--
Time stops here!
Looking at the clerk who stopped in front of him, Tsukuyomi immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw that picture of everything coming to a standstill again.
The customers outside the store who keep pushing the door, the customers inside who freeze at the moment of eating, the hot steam floating above the food...
"...Guest, is there anything I can do for you?"
Tsukuyomi suddenly came back to his senses, and was shocked to realize that the world had broken away from the realm where time had stopped.
"Ah, oh, I want a piece of this, that, and that."
"Okay, would you like to take it away or eat here?"
Tsukuyomi chose to package.
She wants to go back to the hotel to eat.
By the way, think about life in that quiet space.
The journey back was uneventful, and the time I spent in my room thinking about life didn't suffer anything unusual.
The only sad thing was that the result was a bit bad. Instead of thinking about it, she became even more irritable.
Look at the time, it's already noon.
So Tsukuyomi decided not to think about it, had lunch first, and then went to the hospital to see Gates.
…
…
Hospital.
When Tsukuyomi opened the door and saw the extremely harmonious scene in the ward, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she slammed the door again.
Bang!
The crisp sound of the door leaf colliding with the door frame could not soothe Tsukuyomi's complicated mood at this time.
"Did you see it wrong? Did I see it wrong? I must have seen it wrong, right?"
She actually saw Gates and Woz staying in the same room quietly without starting a fight! !
Tsukuyomi took a deep breath, took a deep breath and reopened the door.
Inside the door, there were two pairs of eyes looking towards her.
One pair came from Gates, who was lying on the hospital bed and had just been awakened by the sound of the door closing, and the other pair came from Woz, who was sitting on the chair next to the hospital bed and quietly reading a book.
Tsukuyomi: "..."
She stood at the door in silence for a while, then bowed and apologized.
"Sorry to bother you."
Get up, close the door and leave.
In the ward, Gates and Woz also looked confused as they looked at the door separating Tsukuyomi's figure and listened to the footsteps gradually moving away from the door.
Gates said hesitantly: "The one just now...is Tsukuyomi, right?"
Woz nodded: "Well, yes, it's her."
Gates immediately hesitated even more.
"Didn't she come to see me? Why did she leave now?"
Yes, why is this?
Woz was silent for a moment, his eyes moved. He didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Perhaps she really just came over to look at you."
Gates: "..."
? ? ?
If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. No one is forcing you!
He let out a rather unhappy "tsk", turned around, turned his back to Woz, closed his eyes again, and continued his nap time.
…
…
On the other hand, after coming out of the hospital, Tsukuyomi thought about it and didn't know where he was going.
Finally she decided...just go play!
So, Tsukuyomi exchanged a bunch of game coins for a doll in the game arcade where Sonosaki Wakana's latest single was playing.
The first dozen times I was in high spirits, and then gradually it became gritty.
Nothing else, just because until now, she has never taken out a doll from the claw machine.
Tsukuyomi was so angry that he really didn't have time to think about the issue of "time stopping".
I just don’t know who it was, but around four o’clock in the afternoon, I started frantically making the presence of “Time Stop” appear.
Tsukuyomi found the right angle, and when he was about to let the robot hand fall... it suddenly stopped!
Tsukuyomi was stunned for a moment, and then the robot hand grabbing the doll missed the best angle.
Because at the moment when Tsukuyomi was in a daze, the time stop was lifted.
Immediately afterwards, Tsukuyomi saw the robot hand falling, falling...
"It's now!"
Tsukuyomi immediately went to tap the button.
Snapped!
The result was a lonely picture.
Why? Because time has stopped!
It stopped for just a second and then it was released!
Tsukuyomi watched as the mechanical hand landed at the bottom and closed automatically, grabbed a handful of air and returned.
Tsukuyomi's face turned dark immediately.
She raised her right hand, but then her left hand grabbed her right wrist and pushed it down again.
She told herself to hold back. Time-stopping is the signature ability of the Time Tribber. She still doesn't know where this ability she has comes from, and she doesn't know what the consequences of using it will be...
Take a deep breath and calm down!
Tsukuyomi inserts coins to continue the game.
calm!
continue……
calm!
continue……
calm!
continue……
Cold... cold, your sister! ! ! Grass--! ! ! !
Monthly reading: convex! ! !
What's going on? World, you think "time" is too tired from running around for so many years, so why don't you teach it how to breathe heavily? ?
Tsukuyomi stopped grabbing the doll now, and didn't care how he got this ability, so he clenched his fists and waited.
If it stops when you see it, it will be released immediately! Release immediately! !
After going back and forth like a tug of war several times, the world finally became quiet and time finally ran smoothly.
But at the same time, Tsukuyomi looked at the plastic basket containing the game coins with nothing left, and lost interest in continuing to play.
Just looking at his empty hands, he sighed self-deprecatingly at his gaming skills.
Then, naturally, Tsukuyomi thought of Tokiwa Shogo, who was terrible at playing games.
Look at the time, it's almost five o'clock.
According to her knowledge of Fenghua High School's course schedule, now is the time for club activities.
Tsukuyomi decided to go to Fenghua High School to see the excitement.
Because according to her understanding of Tokiwa Shogo, on this only day and the last day to go to school as an exchange student to complete a full day of classes, Tokiwa Shogo would never let it end so easily, so he would definitely Make trouble!
Relying on the experience accumulated while spying on Tokiwa Shogo at Light Forest High School some time ago, Tsukuyomi easily sneaked into Fenghua High School.
On the playground, there were bursts of cheers from the tennis court, which was surrounded by students wearing various club uniforms.
Instinct tells Tsukuyomi that Tokiwa Shougo is there!
It's just that the corner of her mouth raised a smile, and just when she was about to walk over there...
Da da da--
Time stopped...?
The smile on the corner of his mouth froze on his face. Tsukuyomi looked at the motionless crowd at the tennis court, and then looked back at the students elsewhere talking and laughing and walking around normally, feeling a little confused.
So this is... local time stopped?
There was still a brief pause, and soon the flow of time on the tennis court returned to normal.
Tsukuyomi subconsciously grabbed a passing student, and then with the confused expression on the student's face, he sorted out his thoughts and started chatting with the student on the pretext of asking about what happened on the tennis court.
Then, after time was paused again at the tennis court, Tsukuyomi immediately pointed over there and asked, "Look, why are they not moving?"
The student glanced in the direction Tsukuyomi pointed, then turned and looked back at Tsukuyomi with an "Are you kidding me?"
"Can't you see their restless little hands?"
Tsukuyomi was stunned.
So, what seems like a stopped scene to her is a normal scene in the eyes of others?
Just as he was thinking about it, Tsukuyomi heard the student ask tentatively.
"Moxi Moxi? Can I go? Can you let me go?"
Tsukuyomi glanced at the student.
The student immediately shrank his neck.
So fierce!
Fortunately, after Tsukuyomi glanced at him, he let go of the student's wrist.
Then the female student ran away immediately.
Tsukuyomi, on the other hand, quickly walked towards the tennis court after calming down.
She was going over there to find out who was using Time Stop!
Although, she already has an answer in her heart now...
Should I say it is true? The person who stopped when the tennis court was in use was——Jiba Shogo.
My mood suddenly became a little heavy, and I felt that Tokiwa Shougo had been lying to them.
But after seeing what Tokiwa Shougo did after Tokiwaki, Tsukuyomi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh again.
Because whenever Tokiwa Shogo heard someone scolding him while playing, he would immediately stop, run over, roll up the opponent's clothes and stuff them into their mouths, then run back again, put on a handsome pose, and then stop.
This childish behavior is harmless, yet extremely vindictive, making people laugh.
Tsukuyomi watched quietly for a while, then turned and left. When she left, she felt very relaxed.
The fact that Tokiwa Shougo also had the ability to stop time gave her great comfort, letting her know that she was not special, and that stopping time was not a unique ability of time robbers.
She didn't need to be afraid at all because she suddenly had the ability to stop time.
At the same time, Tokiwa Shogo looked at the back of Tsukuyomi walking away with a relaxed pace, a little helplessness appeared on his face, and then turned into a pure smile.
He shook his head, loosened the clothes he had just rolled up, patted the man's head, and returned to the tennis court leisurely with the tennis racket on his shoulder.
Time to stop lifting!
…
…
Hospital.
Watching Woz open the door and walk in, Gates, who was bored, couldn't help but ask after being stunned for a moment.
"Where have you been this afternoon?"
"Oh~? Are you interested? Gates."
Woz held up the Enchantment Calendar in front of his face, only showing his crooked eyes, and said with a brisk smile.
When Gates heard the tone of Woz's words, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he immediately knew that there was no chance.
"You like to talk or not!"
He snorted coldly and ignored Woz.
Woz was also happy to be quiet, and sat back on the chair in front of the hospital bed with a calm expression.
At noon, faced with the scene of the easing of the relationship between him and Gates, although Tsukuyomi's performance was very interesting, Woz still keenly discovered the abnormality in Tsukuyomi's mood, so he quietly followed him to investigate, but Unexpectedly, I discovered something amazing.
There was a time stop at about four o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at Tsukuyomi who was still moving as usual in the realm where time had stopped, the shock Woz showed at that moment was not fake at all.
Just thinking about the title of His Majesty the Demon King, Woz immediately felt that everything was so natural.
"As expected of my Demon King!"
Woz admired sincerely.
And for the first time, I felt that Tsukuyomi and his Demon King were so well matched.
Immediately afterwards, he immediately informed Tokiwa Shougo of the good news over the phone.
Tokiwa Shougo: "..."
To be honest, his first reaction was not surprise, but fright!
It's over, it's over, his secret about how to stop and stop is about to be exposed, and Tsukuyomi may think that he is a liar!
But when he heard Woz say that Tsukuyomi was in the game arcade, Tokiwa Shougo narrowed his eyes and suddenly stopped panicking.
Immediately afterwards, the short pauses that made Tsukiyomi furious were quietly arranged for her.
That is to say, if it was not intentional, where would there be so many perfectly timed stops?
At that time, Woz smiled in the dark and said nothing.
…
…
It's a pity that Tsukuyomi, who left Fenghua High School at this time, doesn't know, and probably won't know in the future what kind of role Woz played during her time in the arcade where she was trembling with anger, and she was Tokiwa Shogo, who thought he was "harmless and reliable", turned out to be the man behind it that made her angry almost to death!
…
…
Night.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Tokiwa Shougo found Tsukuyomi sitting on the stool where he had been waiting for Tsukuyomi yesterday. He looked at him with an expressionless face and asked coldly.
"Did you use world time today?"
Tokiwa Shougo replied subconsciously.
"No, I only used partial use today... Wuwu!!"
After reacting, Tokiwa Shougo quickly covered his mouth to interrupt his words, and then asked with a panic look on his face.
"How do you know...? Tsukuyomi, listen to me, I really didn't mean to lie to you. It's just that you said that time stopping is the signature ability of the time robber, and you were treating me at that time. No, it's because There is a lot of prejudice against me in the future. I just don’t dare to say it. I..."
"Okay, stop it!"
On Tsukuyomi's expressionless face, a smile suddenly bloomed as leisurely as an epiphyllum at night.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not angry because..."
She smiled and raised her hand, patted Tokiwa Shougo on the shoulder and comforted her.
"I can do it too!"
Da da da--
Time stops.
Freeze the smiles caused by the surreal conversation between this young couple at the hotel reception desk.
