【Year 2009】
As a wormhole suddenly opened, Tsukuyomi drove the Time Demon Machine to this era.
Land and put away the Time Demon Machine.
Tsukuyomi came to the hospital where Tokiwa Shogo was treated after the car accident.
——Bai Nanfeng General Hospital.
Looking around, Tsukuyomi walked to the front desk for consultation.
"Excuse me, which ward is Tokiwa Shougo in?"
"Please wait a moment, let me check."
"OK."
He nodded and looked at Tsukuyomi, who was bent over by the receptionist to check. As he was waiting, he suddenly heard a quarrel coming from his side, and among them, there was a faintly familiar voice.
That is……
"Uncle's voice?"
As soon as he thought of this, Tsukuyomi immediately turned his head and looked inside.
Sure enough, I saw Junichiro Tokiwa from nine years ago.
"I said, you should at least go and meet that child, right? Now that he has lost his parents, it is the time when he needs family affection, companionship, and someone to care about him!"
"You say it so nicely, why don't you go see him?"
"That's right, although you have just arrived, you saw it just now, right? Don't you think that child is gloomy and scary?"
"They are just distant relatives whom we have not contacted for many years. We have done our best to come."
"That's right, I don't want to be entangled with that kind of child... He won't learn well after one look at it. It will be very troublesome."
"Yes, I heard that the child also has a very funny dream."
"I've heard about it too. It seems that I want to be..."
"enough!!!"
Listening to these malicious remarks, Junichiro Tokiwa finally broke out unbearably.
"you!
"Don't you think what you said is getting more and more exaggerated?
"Are you adults?
"Isn't it shameful to randomly arrange a child who has just lost his parents in this way!?"
Junichiro Tokiwa clenched his fists tightly and looked at these "relatives" in front of him with a terrifying expression, as if he would swing his fist directly at them if they dared to say another word...
That was something Tsukuyomi had never seen before.
She had never thought that her uncle, who had always been kind and kind, would be so terrifying and oppressive when he got angry.
The scene immediately became quiet because of this.
Those who had been boasting just now all fell silent and froze in place, too scared to speak.
Watching this scene, Tsukuyomi felt faintly happy.
At the same time, Tsukuyomi couldn't help but think of what Junichiro Tokiwa said to her before when he talked about these people...
It turns out that this is the truth.
It turned out that there had been such a quarrel at that time.
It turns out that those relatives in Junichiro Tokiwa's words were just somewhat realistic relatives, and they still had such ugly faces.
Junichiro Tokiwa experienced all this, but chose to bury these malice deeply, plant flowers and grass, and then show it to the young Shogo Tokiwa.
Then, even after nine years, when Junichiro Tokiwa told Tsukiyomi what had happened, he still showed her these flowers and plants.
——So gentle, uncle.
However, perhaps it is precisely because he has always been surrounded by such tenderness that Shougo did not become a vicious demon king...
Uh, have I already acquiesced that Shogo will only become the Demon King?
While these thoughts were flashing in Tsukuyomi's mind, events continued to unfold.
Although Junichiro Tokiwa's scolding successfully calmed the relatives, it inevitably attracted the attention of the hospital security.
"Sir, please pay attention to the volume. Loud noises are not allowed in the hospital."
Looking at the security guard walking over quickly, Junichiro Tokiwa took a deep breath and exhaled, slightly loosened some of his tightly clenched fists, and suppressed his anger.
"……Feel sorry."
he said to the security guard.
"No……"
The security guard looked around the scene and couldn't help but frown slightly.
He has worked in the hospital for many years. For such a scene, he can roughly guess the cause and process with just one glance.
Coupled with the words he just heard Junichiro Tokiwa scolding...
So, they must be the family of one of the two children who survived the car accident.
"No need to apologize, just pay attention."
After speaking slowly to Junichiro Tokiwa, the security guard immediately straightened his face and said to the others.
"No noise is allowed in the hospital. If you want to argue, go outside the hospital. Do you understand?"
After saying the warning, the security guard left.
But the silence at the scene continued to spread.
But as time goes by, some people feel that they can do it again.
"...Hey." The man said, "Since you don't agree with our approach so much, then you can just adopt him. In exchange, we will share his medical expenses equally. What do you think? "
Someone takes the lead, and others immediately respond.
If it’s split evenly, everyone doesn’t need to spend a lot of money.
And just by spending a little money, they can get rid of a trouble and leave here immediately. Of course, they want it.
so.
They had no intention of discussing it with Junichiro Tokiwa, and they didn't care whether Junichiro Tokiwa would adopt Shogo Tokiwa. After making their own decision, they immediately passed over Junichiro Tokiwa and relied on the strength of their numbers to be alone. One person's Tsukuyomi pulled away from the front desk and started to add up the payment.
Tsukuyomi: "..."
She clenched her fists, but in the end she did not do anything impolite in front of Junichiro Tokiwa in public.
but.
When she calmed down a little, turned her head, and looked in the direction of Junichiro Tokiwa again, her pupils suddenly shrank and her eyes widened little by little.
What did Tsukuyomi see?
She saw...
Just behind Junichiro Tokiwa, at the corner of the corridor, there was a little boy on crutches looking at him with dark eyes.
Tsukuyomi has seen photos of Shogo Tokiwa as a child.
Therefore, she instantly recognized the identity of the little boy.
That's right, that boy is eight-year-old Tokiwa Shogo!
[It turns out that he knew it all along! ]
…
…
【year 2002】
Tokiwa Shogo received a call from Tsukuyomi.
After hearing Tsukuyomi's discovery, he was silent for a while and replied:
"I... don't have that memory."
Tokiwa Shougo has no memory of what Tsukuyomi mentioned.
It was also the first time that he knew that those relatives had paid for his medical expenses under such circumstances.
However, Mirror World Zhuangwu obviously knows.
so……
"Well, it seems that the reason why my other self treats humans so badly is not just because humans are not his people."
Or because,
Zhuangwu in the mirror world deeply hates the... hypocritical goodness that exists in large quantities in human society.
