"..."
Facing Tokiwa Shougo's gaze, Edith's eyes widened slightly and her mouth opened, but she couldn't say anything.
How about...?
have no idea.
Edith hadn't thought about it yet.
Previously, he only thought about the scene of accusation and questioning.
And, in all those scenes, he stood on the moral high ground.
He thought King Shi was sorry for them, so he subconsciously felt that King Shi was also guilty of them.
Therefore, in his imagination, there was an angry King of Shi, an angry and threatening King of Shi, and a King of Shi who retorted with a guilty conscience, but he never thought...if King of Shi calmly, or even admitted it indifferently, What should he do?
Tokiwa Shougo looked at Edith, who was stunned with a look of confusion on his face, lowered his head and scratched Yuryusen's chin, and said: "Adnis once told me that he had issued a ban on talking about things related to the earth. The prohibition means - abandon the past and start over.
I will not comment on this for now.
However, if we don't talk about it, we won't talk about it. As an old man who came to this world from the earth, your memory will not be lost because of this "not talking about it", right?
I saved all of you, and now you question whether I harmed Adnis's wife. So, next, are you going to blame me for the origin of the Red Death?
Edith, you don't trust me.
Although, you agreed with Adnis's decision to respect me as king. "
Having said this, Tokiwa Shougo spread his hands, raised his head, and looked at Edith.
"Frankly speaking, you never wanted to be my people from the beginning. You were afraid of being ruled by me."
Hearing this, Edith subconsciously retorted: "No, I...I really wanted to respect you as king."
"Ah, I understand."
Tokiwa Shougo nodded.
"You think this world after I have revived you is a paradise, with a prosperous and happy life. You will make your life better and better through the knowledge you have learned. You are afraid of losing it all, so you agree to what Adnis wants. You decided to recognize me as your king, but you didn’t want me to interfere in your lives, so you ignored my warning to you...
"And now, when the disaster strikes, you come here and say to me - King of Time, are you responsible for all this?
"No respect for me at all."
Tokiwa Shougo looked at Edith and shook his head slightly.
"You don't regard me as your king. You are not even willing to address me as 'Your Majesty the King of Time'."
Tokiwa Shougo opened it with his right hand, gestured to the report documents on the table, and continued.
"When you should have reported your work to me and discussed how to defeat the Red Death more effectively, you came to ask me if I was the one who brought the Red Death to you..."
Hearing this, Edith couldn't help but interrupt: "I just want to know the truth."
"That's not the truth, that's just your conjecture." Tokiwa Shogo said, "In fact, it was under my leadership that the Red Death epidemic was brought under control."
However, facing this fact, Edith frowned tightly.
"If you really caused the Red Death, of course you can control it!"
This sentence blurted out under the influence of "unconvinced" emotion in his heart.
After finishing speaking, Edith's expression froze.
He seemed to know that this sentence was too rude. He recalled what Adnis had warned him before coming in and quickly added.
"...I just want you to tell me the truth yourself."
However, Edith's additional explanation would be better left unmentioned.
Tokiwa Shogo, who had already darkened his face before, now his eyes were even darker.
He finally rubbed Yu Liusen's head, placed Yu Liusen on the table, stood up, and walked out of the chair.
"Edith, Edith."
Across the desk, Tokiwa Shogo spread his hands and said.
"What have I done to deserve you disrespecting me so much?"
Taking steps forward, Tokiwa Shogo said as he walked towards Edith.
"If you come to me today as one of my people to ask me how the Red Death is formed and how to develop a drug to treat it, you will only get a perfect answer today, which is exactly what I have prepared. Something good to give you.”
Tokiwa Shougo walked up to Edith and looked into his eyes.
"As long as you are my people, then your enemies are also my enemies..."
Tokiwa Shougo raised his hand, raised a finger, pointed at Edith for a moment, paused, and continued.
"In this way, no matter who or what the enemy is, there is nothing to fear."
After finishing his words, Tokiwa Shougo dropped his fingers and stopped talking. Instead, he looked down at Edith, waiting for his answer.
Looking at Edith again, I don't know which sentence he started from, he no longer dared to look directly into Tokiwa Shougo's eyes.
At this time, Edith said to Tokiwa Shougo:
"...I was wrong, I shouldn't have made those assumptions..."
This is the truth.
"……sorry……"
Edith bent deeply towards Tokiwa Shogo.
"His Majesty the King of Time."
Looking at Edith who finally showed his surrender, Tokiwa Shogo was silent for a moment, raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"very good."
Then he turned two steps, sat on the edge of the desk, and looked at Edith.
"Let's start the report."
After hearing this, Edith stood up, turned to Tokiwa Shougo, and respectfully began to report the results of his work during this period.
After listening, Tokiwa Shougo nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right. It seems like you haven't wasted your time on random thoughts these days."
He moved his palm back, picked up the memory he had placed on the table before, and moved it forward...
And when the memory that Tokiwa Shogo had used to tease Yuryusen before was brought to him, it had actually turned into a file bag filled with research reports on the red death disease.
"Nuo, with your current research progress, you should be able to understand what's going on here."
"This is……?"
Facing the document bag handed over by Shogo Tokiwa, Edith bent down and took it with both hands while subconsciously asking.
To this, Tokiwa Shougo chuckled and told Edith the answer calmly.
"This is an effective plan for treating the red death disease developed by Igor in the future."
Tokiwa Shogo's words made Edith's eyes widen in astonishment.
"Future...Igor's plan?"
"That's right."
Shogo Tokiwa explained Edith's consternation.
"I'm the Lord of Time. Isn't it natural that I can do this?"
Tokiwa Shougo smiled.
However……
This is a lie.
Tokiwa Shougo did not get that research data from the future in the true sense, but from his past history.
That's right, the memory that became the predecessor of this research material was the memory that Igor gave to Tokiwa Shogo before.
Woz once told Yamauchi Gosei and Tsukimura Akari that it was his honor for Igor to dedicate his life to his Majesty the Demon King.
Obviously, this is what he is referring to.
To be honest, as an active high school student, Tokiwa Shogo is still a scumbag, and his knowledge reserve itself is very limited.
It can be said that in terms of research, Tokiwa Shogo is definitely not as good as Edith.
However, Tokiwa Shogo is a king, not a researcher.
If the king can do everything, and he has done it, why should the subjects do it?
The king and his subjects should achieve mutual success.
Tokiwa Shougo told Edith this theory and then made a conclusion.
"——Edith, I need you, and you need me."
Changpanzhuangwudao.
"So, no matter what time, don't blame others, but try to find that glimmer of hope, and as long as you can find a glimmer of possibility leading to the future, then that future will definitely come!
"Do you know why?"
Facing Tokiwa Shogo's encouraging gaze, Edith's eyes gradually became heated and she said:
"Because we are your people!!!"
Tokiwa Shougo smiled and waved to Edith to take the document bag and leave.
Edith bowed and bowed before bowing respectfully.
Then, just as Edith was about to reach the door, she suddenly heard Tokiwa Shogo's words from behind, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Ah, by the way, Edith, do you remember that dream you had a few years ago?"
Tokiwa Shougo sat on the edge of the table, looking at Edith who suddenly froze in front of him, helping him awaken his past memories.
"That's the one who reminds you not to use technology and machines that you haven't fully understood yet... Yume."
A pause, and then, a chuckle.
"If you have time, you can go to random people and ask them if their answers in their dreams are the same as yours."
