[In this new timeline, I live a very happy life. 】
Yuuto Sakurai took this fact apart, broke it into pieces, integrated it into his own story, and told it to Gates, just so that Gates could better understand this and dispel his worries.
Because Sakurai Yuto felt that Gates should have been informed by Shogo Tokiwa that he had died once in another world.
And this is indeed the case.
Before Gates set out here, Tokiwa Shogo had told him everything.
Therefore, after hearing this story, Gates put down the empty coffee cup in his hand, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
Following the atmosphere at this time, he took out a knight's watch from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Sakurai Yuto.
"Mr. Yuto, before coming here, Tokio asked me to return this to you."
Sakurai Yuto looked down and found that the knight watch pushed over by Gates was his Zero North knight watch.
Seeing this, Sakurai Yuto looked slightly stunned, and then suddenly laughed.
"What, that boy, he said he was so handsome at the time, but in the end, this is it?
"It seems like the Demon King is nothing special."
Saying this, Sakurai Yuto pushed the Zero North Knight watch back toward Gates.
"You should be very clear by now. Thanks to Zhuangwu, I am living a very happy life now. Therefore, since I have given away this watch, there is no reason to take it back."
Having said that, Gates still couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at the Zero North Knight watch that was pushed back by Yuuto Sakurai.
"But……"
"But what?" Sakurai Yuto interrupted, "There's nothing good about it. If he really feels embarrassed to hold it, then you can accept it."
"Eh? I'll do it!?"
Hearing this, Gates couldn't help but be stunned.
"certainly!"
Sakurai Yuto smiled.
"It's useless for me to hold it, but on the contrary, you need it, don't you?
“So, take it.
"If you feel embarrassed, then think of it as a reward for helping me in another world."
Hearing this, Gates could only nod in agreement.
"...I understand, I will take it back and ask the King of Time again."
He put away the Zero North Knight watch on the table again.
"Well, that's good."
Seeing this, Sakurai Yuto smiled and nodded, and then asked.
“Would you like a refill of coffee?”
Hearing this, Gates was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but lower his head, glanced at the empty coffee cup, and then nodded with a smile.
"Yes, please give me another drink."
But after a while, Gates, who drank coffee again, still felt...
"so bitter!"
This caused Sakurai Yuto to burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahahahaha——"
…
And at this moment,
Ding bell~!
The store door opens.
A sturdy figure with a scarf on his head walked in from the door.
"Yooto! I'm back!"
Upon hearing this, Sakurai Yuto turned around, and the smile on his face suddenly spread.
"Oh! Deneb, you're back just in time. Who do you think is here?"
Denab walked in from the door with a vegetable basket on his arm. He followed Sakurai Yuto's voice of greeting and immediately spotted Gates with a stunned expression.
"Mr. Gates!"
Deneb quickly trotted up to Gates and bowed to him seriously.
"When I was in another world, Yuu Dou troubled you to take care of me. Thank you very much!"
Only then did Gates react to Deneb's sudden appearance.
"No, no, no, it's Mr. Yuto who takes care of me, so there's no need to thank me."
He quickly stood up and returned the greeting, and then cast a doubtful look at Sakurai Yuuto.
[What the hell is going on? Mr. Yuto, isn’t there no strange demon god in your story? ]
In this regard, Sakurai Yuto’s explanation is...
"As of yesterday evening, my story was indeed like that, and calculating the deadline, if my guess is correct, that will be the time when you return to this world, right?"
Saying this, Sakurai Yuto picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and continued with a leisurely expression.
"So, you shouldn't ask me why there are strange demon gods in this world, but you should ask your King Shi."
Gates: "..."
At this moment, the image of Tokiwa Shogo smiling and saying "surprise!" suddenly appeared in Gates' mind.
Ah this...
The corners of his mouth trembled. Gates was speechless and couldn't help laughing at the same time.
Then, he suddenly thought, since Deneb and Sakurai Yuto met again, what about Nogami Ryotaro and den-liner?
As soon as he thought about this, Gates immediately asked this question to Sakurai Yuto.
"Mr. Yuuto, where is Mr. Ryotaro?"
"He..."
Speaking of Nogami Ryotaro, Sakurai Yuto looked at Gates, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Sa, who knows... How about you guess, the time train that travels through time and space, den-liner, will the next stop be the past or the future?"
…
…
Noon, Light Forest High School.
The rooftop of the teaching building.
Tokiwa Shogo was lying flat on the ground basking in the sun, when he suddenly felt a shadow falling on his head.
Opening his eyes slightly, he discovered that a young and beautiful girl with short hair was standing in front of his head, bending down to look at him.
"Yo!"
Seeing him open his eyes, he immediately greeted him with an energetic smile.
Seeing this, Tokiwa Shougo twitched the corner of his mouth and weakly raised his hand to wave.
"What the hell, give in, you're blocking my sunshine."
"Hmph~!"
The girl with short hair heard this and didn't care. She followed the direction of Tokiwa Shogo's wave and moved to Tokiwa Shogo's side.
She first gathered her pleated skirt and sat down. After thinking about it, she followed Shogo Tokiwa's example and lay down on her back.
"Senior, I heard. This morning, you were scolded by my father for skipping class again."
Although she lay down, unlike Tokiwa Shogo who looked lazy, the girl with squinted eyes still had an energetic look on her face and expressed strong curiosity about the fact that Tokiwa Shogo was being disciplined. Heart.
"Hey, senior, have you really been to another world? What is that world like? Is it fun?" Kinoshita Yu asked.
Hearing this, the corners of Tokiwa Shogo's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Kinoshita, who was lying beside him, and replied angrily.
"Stupid school girl, you came to make me angry on purpose, right?"
"How could it be?, I only asked this because I trust senior."
After speaking, Kinoshita Yu thought for a moment and then continued.
"In this case, let's trade, senior."
"trade?"
"That's right! Senior, how about you tell me the story of your brave journey into another world, and I tell you an urban legend I just learned about?"
"...Urban legend?"
"Yes! It's the legend of ghost hunters!"
