Just when the feeling of regret began to spread little by little in Izumi Iori's chest...
"What happened?"
In the quiet banquet scene, someone broke the silence first and asked.
The person who asked the question was Hidaka Hitoshi. He was related to both parties in the conflict, so he was the first to speak.
Izumi Iori opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
It was Tokiwa Shougo who took a step forward with a look of shame on his face and explained to everyone.
"Is such that……"
He told about his behavior of making up a particularly awesome organization to deceive people in order to quickly obtain the help of the warrior organization, and then apologized to Iori Izumi in public.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Iori. Although it was to better solve the strange knight incident, after all, what I did was unethical. Please allow me to solemnly express my apology to you."
Iori Izumi: "..."
Faced with Tokiwa Shogo's seemingly sincere and solemn, but actually righteous apology in public, he was confused for a moment and failed to react in time.
[Can this matter be said openly? ]
He looked at Tokiwa Shogo blankly.
In contrast, some people at the scene reacted quite quickly.
Almost as soon as Tokiwa Shogo finished speaking, someone responded.
"So this is ah……"
The one who spoke was Kiryu Sento, the first legendary knight Tokiwa Shogo met, and the first person to entrust the knight's watch to Tokiwa Shogo.
The home he currently lives in is the warehouse that Tokiwa Shogo rented after he smashed the golden pig piggy bank of his original "King King Fund".
At this time, under the gaze of Tsukuyomi who came to him at some point, he suggested to everyone at the scene:
"Since Mr. Iori is angry because the organization Shougo established is a bit exaggerated, shouldn't we make it worthy of its name?"
After finishing speaking, the demon scientist smiled and continued to say to the demon king who straightened up and looked towards him:
"Is your History Administration still recruiting people? Count me in."
The second person to stand up was Tomari Shinosuke. He looked helplessly at Tokiwa Shogo who was looking at him, and said:
"Count me in...the things I do for you now are nothing compared to the things I have already joined your organization. Now, I can be considered a regular member."
With these two beginnings, it became natural for others to start talking about joining.
"Everyone……"
Tokiwa Shougo looked at the senior knights sincerely and moved, feeling very happy in his heart.
In just a few words, the Historical Administration Bureau, which was just floating in the illusory sky, suddenly landed and turned into a real behemoth.
Iori Izumi, who truly witnessed the birth of this behemoth, felt extremely complicated.
He found that his brain seemed to be running out of energy, and he could only watch the development of the situation in front of him blankly.
Iori Izumi doesn't understand...
Wasn't Shi Wang apologizing to him for deceiving him?
How did it get to this point where he has become an unimportant and insignificant character that no one pays attention to?
Moreover, why did everyone jump to the topic of joining the organization so naturally and in unison?
What about the subject of his apology? Just like that?
[I haven’t answered anything yet...]
Izumi Iori is at a loss...
boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
Suddenly there was the sound of fireworks taking off and exploding in the sky outside the house.
Through the window, you can see the colorful fireworks outside.
"Celebrate!"
At the same time, Woz's loud congratulatory voice came clearly from outside the house amidst the sound of fireworks.
"Now is the historic moment for the [True History Management Bureau] to bid farewell to its original creation!"
After the celebration ended, Tokiwa Shougo looked around at everyone, smiled and raised the wine glass he had been holding for a long time.
"Seniors, let us drink to this historic moment!"
When everyone saw this, they laughed and toasted together.
"cheers!"
Then we had a drink with Shogo Tokiwa, which was cool and heroic.
After finishing the drink, Tokiwa Shougo invited everyone to watch the fireworks outside.
So, first the children ran out of the house happily, followed by pairs of adults who were also interested in fireworks.
Tokiwa Shogo was not the first to leave, but turned around and patted Izumi Iori on the shoulder, and ordered very naturally: "You have the banquet list, so the task of registering everyone to join our Historical Management Bureau will also be handed over to you. It’s your turn, Mr. Iori.”
With an empty mind, Izumi Iori nodded subconsciously.
Strangely enough, what he was thinking about at this time was not that Sougo Tokiwa assigned him a mission as a matter of course, but that he couldn't help but think...
"Could this batch of fireworks be the ones Woz got from the Warriors organization in the history of the Alien Ring Ghost? Or maybe it's because the Warriors organization made a deal with him in the previous history, so he got it here Did you go directly to the warrior organization’s warehouse to get it in history?”
The interesting story that Iori Iori later went to check the warehouse records caused by this will not be mentioned for the time being, let’s just talk about it now.
Obviously, for Tokiwa Shougo, this New Year's banquet was quite successful.
Congratulations, congratulations.
After the fireworks, the party began to end.
However, they did not leave directly. After all, it was getting late now, so they all stayed in the shrine dormitory prepared in advance by Izumi Iori.
the next day.
After breakfast, Izumi Iori gathered everyone, took a box of necklaces given to him by Tsukuyomi, and a roster he compiled based on yesterday's registration status, and called everyone to confirm.
The necklace is sterling silver and handmade by Tsukuyomi.
The pendant of the necklace is a precise and ingenious small mechanical watch head. The dial is printed with the words "Knight" and the cross pattern of hour and minute hands that can represent Zi-O Mask.
At the same time, this pattern is also the organizational emblem specially designed by Tokiwa Shogo for the Historical Management Bureau.
The roster, by comparison, is nothing to write home about.
It's just a formality to call someone's name.
At the same time, Tsukuyomi and other girls were not idle either.
She brought Misora Ishidomi, Izumi Hina, Poppy, Hana and other people who were interested in repainting to the Desert of Time, and started the previously planned "renovation" project of Zio-Liner.
During this period, Tsukuyomi always felt that Hana sometimes looked at him a little strangely...
It's not malicious, but a kind of emotion that she can't understand and makes her feel a little fuzzy.
Tsukuyomi knows that Hana is a special point, immune to changes in the timeline, and will not lose her memory due to changes in time and space.
This is different from the fact that she has the power of time and has corresponding resistance to time and space changes.
So, Hana must know something that she doesn't know.
But when Tsukuyomi asked Hana, Hana deliberately pretended to be stupid and said that she didn't know anything, which made Tsuyomi angry.
Even Tsukuyomi suspected that Hana deliberately let her discover the abnormality.
so bad.
She is indeed a witch who always follows the most ferocious Demon King.
Fortunately, she likes the most benevolent Demon King.
It won't get that bad.
With this thought in mind, Tsukuyomi met Hana's eyes again and nodded to her, returning a friendly smile.
Seeing this, Hana returned the same friendly smile.
The two people's eyes collided in the air, sparks flying.
"Zi——!"
…
…
real world.
Onizuka Shrine.
Tokiwa Shougo sent his uncle Junichiro Tokiwa down the mountain. When he returned to the shrine, Izumi Iori had already taken care of everything.
only……
"There seem to be a few extra necklaces. Are they spares?"
Facing Izumi Iori's inquiry, Tokiwa Shougo shook his head and told Izumi Iori.
"No, there are not many necklaces, just these few. I need you to give them away in [2009]."
