Gates looked at the joyful scene in front of him with trembling eyes, and his mind was shaking violently.
He is back……
Raising his hand, Gates pressed his forehead tightly with an ugly expression.
He didn't want to come back like this!
In his mind, he had all the memories of how he came back.
But looking back at it now, he felt nothing but a sense of strangeness from those memories in which he had not noticed any abnormalities before.
It was as if, from a certain moment, his body was suddenly taken over.
He was controlled by others, including his mind and body.
Only then did he wake up.
"Gates, what's wrong with you? You look ugly."
Junichiro Tokiwa's concerned words brought Gates back to his senses.
"ah……"
He looked around, put down the hand on his forehead, forced a smile, and said.
"I'm fine."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
Saying this, Junichiro Tokiwa cast a questioning look at Shogo Tokiwa without leaving any trace.
Seeing this, Tokiwa Shougo pursed his lips slightly, and then shook his head slightly, indicating that it was indeed okay, so that Tokiwa Junichiro could relax.
So Junichiro Tokiwa put away the worry on his face and called Gates:
"In that case, go and wash up quickly, and come and eat."
"good."
Gates nodded and walked to the bathroom.
…
Wow——
Holding a handful of cold water and splashing it on his face, Gates held the sink with both hands and quietly looked at himself in the mirror for a while, his face covered with water droplets, blurry and unfamiliar. He was silent for a moment, washed his hands, and turned off the faucet. , dried his hands and face with a towel and walked out of the bathroom.
…
On the table.
With Woz's activity, the atmosphere was very lively.
But beneath this excitement, there are always a few discordant notes hidden.
The reason is that Gates' acting skills can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
[well……]
Tokiwa Shougo sighed in his heart.
[Gates, if you want to hide it, don't let us see it. ]
This thought flashed through his mind, and the smile on Tokiwa Shogo's face remained unchanged. He talked and laughed freely with his uncle, Woz, and even guided Gates.
So, this meal was finally safe and sound, and I ate happily until the end.
…
After meal.
Tokiwa Shogo stood up, walked to Gates, leaned over, and whispered in his ear: "Follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tokiwa Shogo didn't wait for Gates to respond. He got up, walked to the computer desk, picked up the pedestal where the Knight's watch was stored, and walked to the living room of the store.
Gates turned his head and looked at Shogo Tokiwa, who was walking out of the restaurant carrying the knight's watch pedestal. He was silent for a moment, then got up and followed.
Woz, who was the only one left behind, put down his dishes and said to Junichiro Tokiwa:
"Mr. Junichiro, let me clean it up for you."
"Um……"
Looking at the back of Gates who followed Shogo Tokiwa away, Junichiro Tokiwa smiled reassuringly at Woz and said.
"--Thanks a lot."
…
living room.
"sit."
Putting the knight watch pedestal on the round table, Tokiwa Shogo pulled out the chair and sat down, while making a "please" gesture to Gates towards the chair opposite him.
"..." Gates sat down silently and said nothing.
Tokiwa Shougo did not speak in a hurry, but first took out the knight watches he was carrying one by one, and methodically stuck them on the pedestal where the knight watches were stored.
Until, finally...
Looking at the Zi-O watch that Tokiwa Shogo had taken out and stuck on the top of the knight watch pedestal, Gates finally couldn't help but speak.
"King of Time! What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything special. I'm just leaving a 'home' coordinate for myself."
Having said this, Tokiwa Shougo raised his head.
"Why, don't you know?"
Tokiwa Shougo looked at Gates with a puzzled expression and continued.
"I have accepted the trial prepared by Kado Yaji for me, so next, I will probably be sent to an unknown timeline by him. Therefore, I need to leave a guarantee for myself to 'go home' …”
Saying this, Tokiwa Shogo pointed at the half-filled knight watch pedestal.
"The more reliable this guarantee is, the better, right?"
Obviously, nothing is more suitable for positioning coordinates across the timeline than those knight watches inherited by Shogo Tokiwa and his zi-o watch.
But after saying this, Tokiwa Shogo paused and looked at Gates, whose face was full of real astonishment. He couldn't help but repeat the previous question in a deeper tone.
"What, you really don't know?"
"...I don't know." Gates said.
Hearing this, the confusion on Tokiwa Shougo's face deepened.
"You really don't know...it's strange. Did I guess wrong? The person you just went out to see was not Kadoya Shi?"
"No, you guessed it right." Gates shook his head and said, "The person I just went out to see was Kadoya Shi."
"That's even weirder." Tokiwa Shougo frowned, "The person who suggested that I say goodbye to you before the trial is Kadoya Shi. So, as long as you ask about me, then he will There is no reason why I would hide this from you, unless...you didn't ask!"
After these three words were spoken, Tokiwa Shougo stared closely at Gates's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't believe that you don't care about me so much now! It's not like you! So, Gates, can you tell me what happened during the time when you went to see Kado Yashi? Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?"
Hearing this, Gates turned his head subconsciously, glanced at Woz in the restaurant, gritted his teeth, and was about to speak when a green electronic notebook suddenly appeared in his spiritual world and opened it.
Then, lines of text appeared on the page one by one.
…
[Faced with the Devil's inquiry, Gates concealed the existence of White Watts. 】
Whiteworth put down his pen and wrote this line of text into the future notebook under the teasing gaze of Kado Yashi.
…
From nine to five.
living room.
Under the gaze of Shogo Tokiwa, Gates' pupils, who were about to speak, were slightly dull for a moment, then returned to normal, and began to tell Shogo Tokiwa about the process of how he went to find Kadashi.
Received a text message from Kado Yaji;
Go to the agreed place;
See Kadoya Shi;
as well as,
He was introduced by Kado Yaji to a mysterious man who could help him gain powerful power...
Yes, Mysterious Man.
In Gates's narrative, he was a man whose entire body was hidden under a hooded gray robe, and whose appearance could not be seen at all.
Then, the mysterious man seems to have some ability to control the mind.
Gates said that the reason why he did not continue to ask Kado Yashi, but just came back, was because he was controlled by the mysterious man.
Tokiwa Shougo could see that Gates showed no signs of lying.
These words all come from Gates’ sincerity.
However, Tokiwa Shogo still needs to verify Gates' words.
Because he saw it.
Saw it...
The moment Gates’ eyes became dull!
"Gates."
Tokiwa Shougo pushed the Knight watch pedestal to the middle of the table and motioned Gates to put his hand on the Zi-O watch at the top of the pedestal tower.
"Do you believe me?"
"..."
Gates didn't speak, he just looked at each other and Tokiwa Shougo, then raised his hand and placed it on the zi-o watch at the top of the pedestal tower.
Seeing this, Tokiwa Shougo couldn't help but smile.
"Just relax and don't resist."
Saying this, Tokiwa Shougo also raised his hand and put it on Gates's hand pressing the zi-o watch.
"Let me check to see if the mysterious man you mentioned has left any behind in your spiritual world."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tokiwa Shougo's eyes suddenly opened wide, a clock appeared in his pupils, and the hands of the clock reversed.
Dang!
At the same time, a phantom of a silver-white and gold-dyed clock spread out at Tokiwa Shogo's feet like a magic circle, including Gates.
…
Zila——!
The future notebook in Whiteworth's hand suddenly seemed to have leaked electricity, and arcs flashed.
The electric arc stung Whiteworth's unprepared palm, causing his palm holding the Future Notebook to sway slightly, almost causing the Future Notebook to fall out of his hand.
At the same time, Whiteworth lowered his head and saw silver energy appearing out of thin air around the line of text he had just written on the pages of the future notebook, trying to erase it.
"Kadoya Shi!"
Seeing this, Whiteworth immediately raised his head and shouted to Men Yashi.
"Did you expect this scene?"
"What can I say that I expected..."
Hearing this, Men Yashi couldn't help but smile and said.
"Using abilities on the person he is looking at right under his nose... I would like to ask you in turn, did you have any misunderstandings about the Demon King's abilities because you haven't seen him for so long?"
However, having said that, Kado Yaji doesn’t have any particularly evil intentions.
"Do you need help?"
On the contrary, he is the most loving person.
"It just so happens that the Demon King's trial hasn't started yet. I have a useful tool here that can help you."
As he finished these words, he took out a heterogeneous knight watch from his pocket, raised it, pressed the start button, and showed it to Bai Woz, who looked ugly.
【zi-o......】
Then, in Whiteworth's submissive voice, the dull sound effect of the alien knight's watch continued to sound.
【--2! 】
The dark purple energy light instantly rushed out of the alien Zi-O2 watch and penetrated into the future notebook in Bai Woz's hand, dispersing the silver energy light that was about to erase all the writing.
…
From nine to five.
Tokiwa Shougo's expression suddenly changed.
A burst of dark purple energy suddenly rushed out from the Zi-O watch as a medium, and all the hands of Gates and Tokiwa Shogo superimposed on it bounced away.
"This power...
"Doya Shi,
"besides,
"what have you done?"
Tokiwa Shougo held the hand that was bounced away just now and looked towards the wall covered with clocks.
On the mirrors reflecting the clocks, the figure of Mirror World Shougo, wrapped in chains, appeared.
At the same time, along with the sharp sound and the sound of chains colliding, the teasing and mocking laughter of Shogo from the Mirror World also sounded in Tokiwa Shogo's mind.
