Kagami Souji stood motionless, his phone pressed to his ear, and did not make any move even though Kagamiri had hung up the phone.
The birds in the sky flew over his head again.
Pedestrians on the road passed behind him again.
The sun, the wind, and even the dust in the air are all repeating the same trajectory that has happened once before.
No one in this world feels there is anything wrong with their actions.
In contrast, the Tiandao General Secretary who was motionless at this time seemed particularly abnormal.
Because, only he did not follow the previous trajectory.
Moreover, Chief Tiandao also knows that he is not following the previous trajectory.
Just like he didn't lose his memory when the timeline was restarted several times before, this time, he didn't lose his memory before the time was reversed.
He still remembers what he did just after Kagamiri hung up the phone, and remembers the childish voice that sounded from the doorbell speaker.
But in reality, that time was completely deleted.
The moment the little boy asked, time, space, and everything were frozen. Only the little boy's voice continued. Then, everything fell into nothingness, and then he was sent back to a place where nothing had happened yet. previous time points.
[Time] is preventing him from contacting the young Demon King.
But the question is why?
Why should time stop him? What are the conditions for stopping him?
In addition, is this behavior a function of the rules of time itself, or is it intentional by someone who controls time?
If it's the latter, then, is that person the future Demon King?
If so, why would the Demon King stop him?
Isn't he one of the demon king's chosen ones?
Thinking of this, Chief Tiandao frowned slightly, then took the phone away from his ear, took out the Armor Knight watch, and stared at it quietly.
"...Can you tell me? Demon King."
The armored knight's watch was silent and showed no reaction at all.
Seeing this, General Tiandao was not disappointed, but pondered for a moment, summoned the Armored Insect Instrument, and threw the Armored Knight watch to it.
"Remind me if time turns back again."
Jia Dou Insect Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
So, Chief Tiandao stepped forward and raised his hand...
…
So, Chief Tiandao stepped forward and raised his hand, but just as he was about to press the doorbell, he saw the Armor Insect Meter holding the Armor Knight watch flying in front of him, shaking his head vigorously to stop his next move.
Chief Tiandao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and asked: "Have you done it again?"
The armored insect meter wearing the armored knight's watch immediately nodded.
Seeing this, Chief Tiandao was silent for a moment, sighed, and took back the Armor Knight watch from the Armor Insect Instrument.
Later, he "recovered" the memory that had just "disappeared".
He "saw" himself who just pressed the doorbell, and he also "saw" himself who was motionless when the young devil's voice sounded when he repeated the initial experience, and "saw" himself who was sent back to press the doorbell. My self at the previous time point——
[The Demon King’s past cannot be interfered with! 】
"……is that so?"
With this thought in mind, Souji Tiandao raised his left hand, unlocked the cell phone in his hand that had never been put away, and dialed the cell phone number Jindaiken told him last night.
Souji Tendou wants to know, as the alien Kato who corresponds to Kato, if the Kamishiro sword who told him the address of the young demon king's home, like him, also suffered a time reversal when trying to contact the young demon king?
After all, it can be seen from the attitude of Jindaijian towards the Demon King last night that, at least, Jindaijian highly recognizes the Demon King's power.
Therefore, Kamishiro Sword must have encountered something when he tried to contact the young Demon King.
Even if it's not time reversal, it will definitely be some other special event that can prove the devil's powerful power.
Otherwise, how could Jindai Sword regard a 6-year-old boy as hope?
The call is connected.
Chief Tiandao asked his question.
"Kamidai Sword, what happened to you when you faced [him]?"
There is no need to explain in particular. Chief Tiandao believes that as soon as he hears it, Jindai Sword will be able to understand who the "him" here refers to.
Sure enough, there was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then the slightly crazy laughter of Jindai Sword rang out.
"You went to see him, right?
“I went to see him, but he still asked me questions so calmly.
"Haha, he is indeed the one chosen by the Demon King. This kind of treatment is really enviable.
"Come on, first tell me what happened to you and make me jealous."
The ridicule in Kamidao's sword words made the Chief of Tiandao frown slightly, but he still chose to tell the truth.
"I experienced a time reversal.
"Every time I come into contact with him, time is reversed to the point in time before I came into contact with him."
After finishing his words, after waiting for a long time, a suspicious inquiry sounded on the other side of the phone.
"Gone?"
Hearing this, the General Director of Tiandao was also very confused.
"Yeah...what, is this weird?"
This time, the other side of the phone was quiet for a longer period of time, and then the words of Kamishiro Sword with a hint of complicated laughter rang out again.
"Haha, this comparison is indeed very enviable."
Having said that, Kamishiro Sword's tone softened subtly.
"Do you know what I've been through?"
He asked in return, and then continued speaking on his own without waiting for Chief Tiandao to answer.
"I died once."
"Died once? What do you mean by that!?"
The Chief of Tiandao was stunned and asked quickly.
In response, Kamishiro Ken smiled and replied: "Literally."
He spoke easily and felt strangely comfortable.
"Just when I was about to get close to him, suddenly, I could no longer control my body. I could only watch my body decay bit by bit and turn into ashes, while he walked away from me as if there was no one else. Walking by... you know? It was on the street, but no one noticed anything unusual about me, as if I were in a different time and space from them.
"Then, when I was resurrected, I heard a voice."
"Sound?" Chief Tiandao asked, "What kind of sound?"
"The voice of the Demon King." Kamishiro Ken guessed, "It's very young, probably only one or two years younger than us."
"The Demon King will be more than ten years from now...that is to say, when he reaches adulthood, will the Demon King begin to control his own power?" Chief Tiandao finished thoughtfully and continued to ask, "So, Demon King, what about you?" What did you say?"
Kamishiro Ken replied: "He said - I received your letter."
"Letter?" Hearing this answer, Chief Tiandao was extremely surprised. "Did you write a letter? Not only did you write it, you also successfully sent it to the Demon King?"
As he spoke, Chief Tiandao couldn't help but look towards the mailbox outside Tokiwa's house.
But before his eyes could completely turn away, he stopped immediately because of Kamishiro Sword's next words.
"No, I haven't written it yet."
Hearing this, even the Chief Tiandao couldn't help but be confused: "?"
But the next second, he reacted.
Jindaiken said "he hasn't written it yet", which means that he is planning to write it.
The "mail-sending method" of the Divine Sword has now been personally certified by the Demon King and is effective.
so--
"Method, what is it?"
"surface."
"surface?"
"Well, it's the mysterious watch in your hand that allows you to anchor your memory in different timelines without being affected."
Kamidao Jian did not hide his answer to the Chief of Tiandao.
"I have thought about it, if I also own one, then using that watch as a stamp, can I mail a letter to the devil? It's just..."
At this point, Kamishiro Sword paused and continued to ask.
"Chief Tiandao, do you have the courage to give it up?"
After finishing his words, Kamishiro Ken chuckled and hung up the phone very simply.
The Chief of Tiandao stood quietly outside Tokiwa's house for a moment, also laughed, turned around gracefully, and strode away without any confusion.
The armored insect instrument flapped its wings and followed closely behind. (End of chapter)
