When Tokiwa Shougo informed Woz of the latest information he had obtained after his on-site investigation, Woz was really pleasantly surprised. He remained motionless for a long time, and then he very excitedly tore up the plan he had made before.
Seeing this, Tokiwa Shogo couldn't help but cheer for Woz.
"It doesn't matter, everything is just starting over."
Woz was very moved when he heard this.
[Are you coming? ]
He tentatively handed the pen and paper in his hand to Tokiwa Shogo.
But halfway through the hand, Tokiwa Shogo stopped him with a smile and raised his hand, and then pushed it back bit by bit with a force that Woz couldn't resist at all, with a smile on his face.
[No, this is your job. ]
Woz: "..."
He took back the pen and paper with tears in his eyes, and his expression became even more moved.
Under the blessing of this touching feeling, Woz suddenly felt that his thoughts were flowing.
However, just as he was about to start writing, Tokiwa Shogo suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I have a request."
Suddenly, watery plans flowed out of the corners of Woz's eyes.
He made a gesture of listening: "Yes, you say."
Tokiwa Shougo nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll start..."
So, it didn't stop for half an hour.
Woz: "..."
…
…
at the same time.
A certain cafe.
Gates successfully met with Kinoshita Yu, and preparations are proceeding steadily...probably.
Because Yu Kinoshita was indeed telling what Gates wanted to know continuously.
But the question is, is this "continuous" time a bit long?
It’s been more than half an hour! Hey!
Also, what she described was too complicated.
It's like a hodgepodge of snippets of information cut from various magazines and newspapers and folk rumors.
This made Gates couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong with the way he asked questions...
How did he ask?
correct.
He asked: "Do you know what weird stories are popular in the Kanto region recently?"
"certainly!"
Confidently and proudly, Kinoshita Yu straightened up Xiao He's pointed chest, and patted his chest energetically as he promised.
"I'm an expert in this field!"
Starting from this, Kinoshita Yu talked endlessly.
Okutama's Yamahiko; Bosou's Crab Shop; Okuzu's Ippikane; Fujioka's Giant Ant; Chichibu's Horror Beast; Nikko's Crab Shop; Kamakura's Crab Shop; Hakone's Crab Shop; Miura Peninsula's Crab Shop. Boss...
Obviously, she was fully prepared.
But wait a moment…
Gates finally couldn't hold it back and asked the question that was constantly tumbling in his heart.
"——Are there too many crabs?"
Hearing this, Kinoshita Yu's eyes instantly lit up, and a trace of "desire" spilled from the corner of her mouth.
"Senior said that as a reward for my being a consultant to you, you will treat me to dinner... It's my choice!"
With such emphasis, she stared at Gates with her eyes fixed on her face. She put her hands on the table to support her upper body with excitement on her face, leaned forward, and suggested with high spirits.
"So, let's go eat crabs!"
Gates: "???"
Eat, eat crabs?
Hello! ! !
I am very serious about preparing to save the world, why did you change the focus to dinner?
Is this some kind of meeting for third-rate ghost story enthusiasts?
King Shi, who exactly are you introducing to me?
Heck, isn't this just an ordinary JK who likes to talk about ghosts? ?
Can she really help?
Gates roared in his heart and his expression was stiff, but in the end, he agreed to Yu Kinoshita.
"...Oh, let's go then."
After all, it was King Shi who promised it.
"Go eat crabs."
He continued with a dull expression.
"Great!"
Kinoshita Yu suddenly cheered.
…
…
on the other hand.
Just when Woz and Gates had to embrace "surprise", Tsukuyomi also received a surprising response.
A surprise from Shinnosuke Tomari.
Tomari Shinnosuke has already investigated the relevant information of "Hitaka Hitoshi" and sent the investigation results to Tsukuyomi's mailbox.
It seems that Tsukuyomi's prayer was successful.
Tomari Shinosuke got used to it quickly...
No, perhaps, from the time Tokiwa Shougo first asked Tomari Shinnosuke to do similar work, he had anticipated that such a day would come.
Therefore, from that day on, Toriyashinosuke has been consciously expanding and maintaining relevant connections.
Only in this way, when the task comes, can he give results so quickly and efficiently.
Time returns to the present.
From nine to five.
After sincerely thanking Shinnosuke Tomari, Tsukuyomi used the future tablet to click on the information sent by Shinnosuke Tomari.
Hitoshi Hidaka: Age, occupation, home address, family members...
Wife: Hidaka Midori;
Daughter: Hidaka Mizutori...
"Huh?"
When Tsukuyomi saw the photos of Hidaka Hitoshi's wife and daughter, his expression couldn't help but be stunned.
"They are...the mother and daughter that Zhuangwu and I met on Christmas Day?"
Tsukuyomi still remembers that Shogo Tokiwa, who was dressed as Santa Claus, gave a good performance to the little girl. Finally, he used magic to give the little girl a cute elk doll.
Thinking like this, Tsukuyomi soon couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, is this fate?"
She thought that she had some ideas on how to contact the Hidaka family.
However, Midori Hidaka, is she really unemployed now as described in the information?
His eyes lingered on the word "None" in the column of Hidaka Midori's occupation for a while, and then he turned his attention to Tsukuyomi who had Hidaka Midori's original name, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a moment, she took out her phone and dialed Woz's number.
…
…
"Dingling bell~~"
Woz was writing furiously when he suddenly heard the phone ringing. He took out his phone and saw that the caller ID was [Tsukiyomi].
However, just as he was about to answer the call, the phone disappeared from his hand.
"Eh?"
Woz's expression was stunned, and then he immediately turned his head. Sure enough, his cell phone had fallen into Tokiwa Shougo's hand.
"My Majesty the Demon King..."
Tokiwa Shogo raised his hand to stop what Woz wanted to say, and raised his index finger to his lips.
"Shhh."
Then, he answered the phone and when he heard the familiar voice coming from the phone, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Surprise!"
"Well, yes, it's me."
"Haha, you didn't expect it, right? I'm here in Woz now."
"Woz? Oh, he is busy, so let me answer the phone for you. Do you have anything to talk to him about?"
"Well, there's something you want him to help confirm, right? No problem, I'll tell him."
"Well, uh-huh, okay..."
Although he didn't answer the phone directly, just by listening to what Tokiwa Shogo said, Woz could guess what was going to happen next.
[Come on, Woz, let’s talk about a new requirement. ]
Thinking like this, Woz leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the ceiling, his eyes gradually became empty, and the voice of Shogo Tokiwa on the phone gradually faded away in his ears, and his body faded, and finally, only a gray-white body was left. The body was lying on the chair.
After ending the call, Tokiwa Shougo looked back and was completely stunned.
"???"
He tentatively called out: "W-Woz?"
As a result, the gray-white corpse instantly pretended to be a corpse and responded energetically.
"I am here!"
But, it’s still off-white!
Tokiwa Shougo's mouth twitched, but he still said without mercy: "Come on, let's add a small step to the plan."
"no problem!"
Instant answer.
But I always feel that the grayish-white color on Woz's body is lighter.
Tokiwa Shougo: "..."
Just like that, the skylight outside the window completely darkened and then brightened.
Time comes the next day.
…
…
【December 27】
After breakfast, the four of them, Tokiwa Shogo, Tsukuyomi, Gates, and Woz, left the 9-to-5 office and dispersed.
