Time moves forward a little.
Come to the moment when Tsukuyomi escapes from the hands of Mirror World Shougo.
After seeing a dazzling white light, Tsukuyomi's consciousness fell into a brief fragment.
When her consciousness reconnected, she found that she had arrived in a strange room...
"No, isn't this Zhuango's room!?"
Tsukuyomi stood up suddenly, but in the next moment, she fell back on the bed because of the bursts of weakness emanating from her body.
This is not surprising.
After all, all the energy in Tsukuyomi's body was consumed the moment she escaped from the Mirror World Shougo.
And that final burst of energy was obviously out of her control.
so--
"Yes, Zhuanggo saved me?"
As soon as Tsukuyomi finished speaking, a crisp bird song sounded.
"Chirp~"
A small red bird-shaped creature flew out from a small magic circle that suddenly unfolded, stopped in front of Tsukuyomi, nodded, and confirmed her suspicion.
Magic familiar, Garuda.
It has been placed in Tsukuyomi's spiritual world by Tokiwa Shougo using [Contract] magic.
Previously, Tokiwa Shougo used this magic familiar to control the final burst of energy in Tsukuyomi's body and the random time and space teleportation after breaking out of confinement.
At the same time, Tokiwa Shougo also gave it an order to teleport Tsukuyomi to a safe place autonomously after that.
As a result, Garuda teleported Tsukuyomi directly to Tokiwa Shogo's room.
Well, although this "safe place" is a little bit special, it is undeniable that it has successfully completed its mission.
Then Garuda screamed again.
"Chirp~"
And shook the thing carried on the bird's claws.
Tsukuyomi quickly raised his hand and took the thing Garuda was carrying.
Take a closer look.
"This is... Gates' Time Demon Machine Summoning Watch?"
"Chirp~"
Garuda nodded again.
Then, it flew to the side of Tsukuyomi's face, rubbed Tsukuyomi's cheek affectionately, and its body dispersed into bits of broken light and melted into Tsukuyomi's body.
It transferred all its remaining energy to Tsukuyomi.
Although there wasn't much left after the energy was converted into the power of time, it was enough to make Tsukuyomi feel less weak.
This made Tsukuyomi couldn't help but be startled.
Then, she lightly touched the place where Garuda had just touched her cheek with her finger, and said softly:
"Thank you."
After saying this, Yue read out the future mobile phone hidden on his body, looked at the still-on-call sign displayed on the screen, and couldn't help but smile.
After canceling the silent mode of the phone and turning the earpiece volume back on, Tsukuyomi put the Mirai phone to his ear.
"Hello, Shougo?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
…
In the space-time tunnel.
Hearing Tsukuyomi's voice, Tokiwa Shogo, who was driving the Time Demon Machine, couldn't help but smile.
It's just that now, they don't have much time to chat.
So, after a few simple words of peace, Tokiwa Shougo and Tsukuyomi started talking about business.
Tsukuyomi told Tokiwa Shogo that next, in order to investigate the truth about the birth of Shogo in the telephoto world, she would go directly to that day.
Previously, Tokiwa Shogo, who also heard the conversation between Tsukuyomi and his uncle through Tsukuyomi's future mobile phone, naturally knew exactly which day Tsukuyomi meant "that day".
Regarding Tsukuyomi's decision, Tokiwa Shougo did not stop her, but just reminded her to be careful.
Afterwards, Tokiwa Shogo and Tsukuyomi said goodbye to each other and hung up the communication.
…
Putting away his future phone, Tsukuyomi did not act in a hurry, but first determined the time and space he was currently in.
【September 2, 2018】
Tsukuyomi couldn't help but be stunned when he found out the time coordinates.
"Huh? Isn't this the day when Gates and I first came to this era, and when I met Zhuangwu for the first time?"
Tsukuyomi still remembers that on this same day, she and Gates would come here under the guise of looking at rented houses to implement a wait-and-see strategy against Tokiwa Shogo who had traveled through a month.
Speaking of which, at what time did she and Gates come over?
Just as he was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door.
Tap tap tap——
This made Tsukuyomi's expression freeze for a moment, and his heart suddenly lifted.
who?
Uncle?
Yes. Grain coupons
Tsukuyomi remembered.
At that time, she and Gates came to look at houses from 9 to 5 around this time.
At that time, Junichiro Tokiwa was not at the counter, but...
upstairs!
At this thought, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Tsukuyomi's heart.
No way……
However, it is a pity that the god of luck did not favor Tsukuyomi.
Because, those footsteps were really getting closer to Tokiwa Shougo's room.
This situation made Tsukuyomi immediately more nervous.
what to do? what to do?
If I could meet my uncle in advance now...
History will change!
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Tsukuyomi suddenly thought, what would Tokiwa Shogo do if he were here?
He can……
Without any panic, he opened a teleportation magic circle and walked in.
Tsukuyomi: "..."
hateful!
She can't use this method!
Is there no other way?
Tsukuyomi, whose brain was racing rapidly, suddenly had an idea.
Shi Zing...yes, how could she forget Shi Zing! ?
As soon as he thought of this, Tsukuyomi breathed a sigh of relief, opened his palms, and was about to perform the time stop.
However, she soon discovered that... it couldn't be used.
The power of time in her body has not yet recovered to the extent that she can use it to stop time.
Tsukuyomi: "..."
And this time.
The footsteps in the corridor had already arrived at the door of Tokiwa Shogo's room.
…
Jingle bell bell~~
Taking the newly bought golden pig piggy bank, he walked to the door of Tokiwa Shougo's room. Junichiro Tokiwa was about to raise his hand to open the door when he suddenly heard the cell phone in his pocket ring.
So Junichiro Tokiwa put his hand into his pocket and took out his mobile phone.
[Customers consulting for maintenance? ]
Looking at the unfamiliar phone number displayed on the caller ID, Junichiro Tokiwa answered the call with doubts.
"Hello, this is the 9 to 5 Hall Watch Shop. How can I help you?"
"Um……"
A pensive young female voice sounded from the mobile phone.
Listening to this voice, Junichiro Tokiwa put the phone on his shoulder and prepared to open the door again.
But following his action, the female voice on the phone suddenly changed from a calm groan to a panicked voice.
"Wait a moment!"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Junichiro Tokiwa glanced at his hand that was almost touching the door lock, and thought doubtfully:
Opposite me, is this preventing me from opening the door?
Well, it's an illusion.
He continued to move his palm forward and grasped the door lock.
But the next moment, a familiar voice suddenly appeared from the mobile phone, finally stopping Junichiro Tokiwa from opening the door.
"Ahem...what, uncle, it's me. Whatever you are doing now, can you please stop for a moment? I have something important to announce to you!"
"Ah? Zhuangwu?"
Full of surprise, Junichiro Tokiwa quickly moved the phone away from his ear, and after confirming again that he did not recognize the phone number on the caller ID, he put it back to his ear with a slight hesitation.
"...Well, tell me, uncle is listening."
"..."
After a long moment of silence, Tokiwa Shogo's voice finally sounded slowly from the other side of the phone.
"I...made friends."
"Well, is that the girl just now?"
There was another moment of silence before an answer came.
"……right."
"Then, can you tell your uncle her name?"
After a longer silence, an extremely hesitant voice slowly sounded from the phone.
"Her name is... Tsukuyomi."
