To be honest, just now, for a moment, Tokiwa Shougo really suspected that his uncle had been replaced by someone else.
Otherwise, what's the point of this kind of hotel farewell tone?
My family is obviously...
At this moment, Junichiro Tokiwa's next words continued to sound.
"...My house is obviously a watch shop."
"..."
Looking at his uncle who had reacted with a confused expression, Tokiwa Shougo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded secretly.
Phew, feel relieved.
Yes, that's the smell.
It turns out that my uncle was not outsourced, but he developed a new business...
Just as he was thinking about it, Tokiwa Shougo suddenly came back to his senses and quickly turned around to look.
"etc!"
At this time, Kadoya Shi had already walked to the entrance curtain.
Hearing the shout, he stopped and turned around.
As far as the eye could see, I could see Shogo Tokiwa taking a few steps forward and looking at him seriously.
"Why did you come to me?" Tokiwa Shougo asked, "Is it just to have a meal from me?"
"Ah, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me..."
Hearing these words, Kadoya Shi had a look of surprise on his face. He turned to Tokiwa Shougo and continued.
"I remembered, I came here to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Tokiwa Shougo frowned.
"Ah."
Kado Yashi did not answer directly, but chuckled and said this.
"I've roughly figured out your situation..."
He raised his hand, spread it in the direction of Tokiwa Shougo, and continued.
"Shougo Tokiwa, although you don't want to become a Demon King like Toki-O, you still dream of becoming a king and are constantly pursuing to obtain power that is equal to or even surpasses that of Toki-O, right?"
"Yes." Tokiwa Shougo answered without any hesitation. He had never concealed anything about it.
Hearing this, Men Yashi raised his eyebrows, a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he looked very happy.
Bang bang bang——
"As expected of you!" He applauded, "In that case, I will say it straight away... If you want to obtain that supreme power, first of all, there is one thing you must do."
Kadoyaji raised a finger, paused in the air, and then put his hand into his pocket.
"That is, collect the watches of all the legendary knights who represent the relevant years in the Heisei era, and in this way, there is one person who you cannot avoid no matter what..."
Saying this, Kado Yaji took out a watch from his pocket, raised it, tapped the edge of the watch twice with his index finger, turned it over, and showed the dial to Shougo Tokiwa.
"Oh, I say this, can you understand?"
"..."
Facing the knight watch that Kadayaji took out, Tokiwa Shougo's pupils shrank instantly.
"Decade's... knight's watch!"
"Yes, that's it."
Putting away the Decade Knight watch in his hand, Kadayaji walked up to Shogo Tokiwa, raised his left hand and stretched it towards Shogo Tokiwa.
But the next moment, his hand was blocked by Tokiwa Shogo.
"..."
"..."
After staring at each other in silence for a moment, Kadashi smiled again and took back his hand indifferently.
"Jiba Shogo, do you still remember what I said to you when we met at Daitenji Temple?"
"Ah, I remember it very clearly."
Tokiwa Shougo's eyes were slightly closed, and a dark light flashed under his eyes.
"What, have you reached a conclusion through your observations? Just because you have 'roughly figured it out'?"
The tone was slightly unpleasant, but Kado Yashi didn't care about it.
Should I say that I am self-aware? Kadashi is very clear about the fact that his way of speaking and behavior are not very pleasing.
He didn't want to change himself, so he had no choice but to become more generous.
Kadashi smiled and said, "Yes, 'probably' is enough."
"Hmph, let's talk about your conclusion after you 'roughly figured it out'..."
Tokiwa Shougo sneered.
"Now, do you still think that my changes in history are for the bad?"
"That's right, Tokiwa Shogo, you are too pursuing the perfect ending, and perfection itself is a kind of imperfection. In addition, your obsession will undoubtedly make you make sacrifices at the critical moment. Falling into hesitation."
The expression on Kado Yashi's face remained unchanged as he continued.
"Because you are 'you', I have no doubt that you can sacrifice yourself to save the world at a critical moment. However, you are not completely 'you', so I will not agree with you now. .”
Tokiwa Shougo understood the meaning of Kadoya Shi's words.
"So, what you mean is that as long as I don't make the changes you want, you won't agree with me, and if you don't agree with me, you will never give me Decade's knight watch... You want to say this one?"
"That's right." Men Yashi nodded.
"Just because you think I might not be able to make the choice to give up at a critical moment?"
"Yes." Kado Yashi nodded again, "Leave aside strangers, family, friends, lovers... everything you cherish may appear on the abandonment list. Do you really think you can be there?" Is it possible to give up at the critical moment?"
"..." Tokiwa Shougo gritted his teeth, "What about you? Can you?"
"Of course I can't!"
Kadayaji spread his hands, and this answer without hesitation made Tokiwa Shougo's whole mood freeze for a moment.
"Huh?" After reacting, he immediately said angrily, "You can't still..."
"Isn't that natural?"
Kadayaji interrupted Tokiwa Shogo's words.
"I said, did you make something wrong?"
At this point, Kado Yashi's face suddenly lost his smile. He stared closely into Tokiwa Shougo's eyes and spoke word by word.
"This is a request for the king! It's me, a request for the king who I will agree with!"
At this moment, in Kado Yashi's eyes, Tokiwa Shougo saw overwhelming emotions that seemed to drown him.
He clenched his palms and asked: "What if you are also on the abandonment list? When the king makes the decision to abandon, will you voluntarily sacrifice yourself!?"
Hearing this, Kado Yashi suddenly smiled.
"Ah, I have already dedicated myself."
"..."
Hearing this, Tokiwa Shougo's eyes widened instantly, all his thoughts came to an abrupt halt, his mouth opened uncontrollably, and he stared at Kadoya Shi blankly.
At this moment, he suddenly lost all words.
At the same time, he suddenly realized something... In the future, will Kadoya Shi and Tomo Tokio recognize each other?
Seeing Tokiwa Shogo trapped in this state, Kadayaji smiled again and took a step back.
"Of course, in addition to gaining my approval, you have another way to get Decade's knight watch."
Smiling and spreading his hands, Kadoyaji continued.
"Knock me down...as long as you can do it."
"..."
Tokiwa Shougo didn't speak, just looked at Kadoya Shi.
In this situation, he couldn't say anything to defeat Kado Yashi.
After a moment of silence, he asked Kadashi.
"Are you from [the future]?"
"No." Kado Yashi shook his head, "I come from [the past]."
The unexpected answer made Tokiwa Shogo speechless again.
In the silence, Kadoya Shi laughed.
"You are so immature, young devil."
Saying this, Kadayaji reached into his pocket again, took out a photo, turned the back side up, and handed it to Tokiwa Shougo.
"You're welcome. This photo will be considered as the meal payment I paid for."
After a while, Tokiwa Shougo raised his hand and took it.
When Kado Yashi saw this, he curled up his lips, turned around, walked towards the entrance, raised his hand and said:
"goodbye."
As he finished speaking, he shook the hand holding the camera lanyard and carried the camera behind his back. He lifted the hallway door curtain with the other hand and walked in.
Click!
Soon, the sound of the store door opening and closing sounded.
Apparently, Kadoyaji has left the 9 to 5 job.
At this time, Tokiwa Shogo lowered his head and turned over the photo in his hand.
As soon as he saw it, Tokiwa Shougo understood.
The scene in the photo was exactly the one taken when he first met Kadoya Shi at Daitenji Temple.
Although, the background of the Big Sky Temple in the picture was distorted.
In the picture, not only does he have a double image, but the background colors on both sides of him and the double image are also divided into light and dark parts by a crooked "line".
The double figure in the photo, shrouded in thick dark light, has an expression similar to, but inexplicably different from, his slightly surprised face in the photo.
The overall composition, the double shadow of dark light, looks like a devil is separating from his body in the photo, but also like a devil is possessing his body...
…
…
at the same time.
Woz, who was sitting on the step at the corner of the stairs, sighed softly, looked back at Tokiwa Shogo, lowered his head, and opened the Enchan Advent Calendar in his hand.
"This book records..."
