Shuji Tsushima did not return to the apartment before the party started.
Instead, they came to the mansion where the banquet would be held.
The white marble building is decorated with gold trim and has a Gothic spire style.
The stained glass windows are the same as the church dome.
In the center of the fountain pool is a pure white sculpture wearing a robe, long hair, eyes closed, and holding a Bible in his hand.
Except for his closed eyes, the rest of his face was blank.
No wings, no halo.
When people first see the sculpture, they don’t think of it as an angel.
Compared to the so-called angels, this sculpture is more like God high in the crystal sky.
Because [you cannot look directly at God], His face is blank.
Red and white roses are planted on both sides of the road, giving people two completely different feelings.
On the other side of the red rose, there is a burning sense of luxury.
On the other side of the white rose, there is a sense of coldness and loneliness.
The roses that withered due to the fire eleven years ago bloomed again in the same place eleven years later.
Delicate and charming, extremely graceful.
But after all, they are no longer the same batch of flowers that bloomed that year.
However, Tsushima Shuji had never seen the roses here eleven years ago.
Rather...
Eleven years ago here, it was not certain whether there were roses or not.
The black-haired boy abandoned his wheelchair and finally regained the ability to walk freely after many days.
He was walking among the two-color rose paths, and suddenly stopped and stood in front of the sculpture beside the fountain pool.
"Do they believe in God?" the black-haired boy asked, looking up at the tall sculpture.
Butler Tanaka behind him lowered his head.
"The master and his wife... naturally believe in God."
"That's why you were brought up in a church when you were a child." Butler Tanaka did not raise his head.
"But this sculpture was arranged by Mr. Da Ting." He explained in a respectful tone.
"Hey~ interesting." The boy looked at the sculpture and raised the corner of his mouth with unknown meaning.
Shuji Tsushima is extremely familiar with this sculpture.
Even if the face is blank.
But...it looks like the priest who has been using it for many years.
"But why doesn't he have a face?" Toru Amuro asked curiously.
And with his eyes closed.
"Because you cannot look directly at God." The young man who had lived in the church said calmly.
“Whatever God looks like in your heart, God will have what kind of face.”
"He closed his eyes because... no one can bear the gaze of God." The young man revealed an aura of holy compassion when explaining this.
"Master Shuji is indeed a child who grew up in the church under the watchful eye of God. He has a perfect interpretation of the meaning of the sculpture." Butler Tanaka praised.
Shuji Tsushima: Hmm... After all, when I was a priest in the church with that guy, I deceived many believers. These explanations just come out of my mouth.
If it were that person, he would fool you like this.
The black-haired boy showed a holy and pure smile to the sculpture, and then raised his steps.
The others followed suit.
Since Butler Tanaka was present, Toru Amuro, who wanted to complain about Kao's pretentiousness, had no choice but to quietly continue to be a transparent person following Tsushima Shuji.
After walking along a long road and climbing steps covered with red carpets, we finally arrived at the gate of the main building.
Two rows of bodyguards wearing shirts and vests have been waiting for a long time.
After seeing Tsushima Shuji's figure, they all bowed.
"Welcome home, Master Xiuzhi." they said.
Someone pushed open the door.
Tsushima Shuji nodded silently and stepped into the door.
White gold-woven carpets, beige sofa seats, clean and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and beige-gold curtains decorated with tassels and lace.
Gu Fu
Priceless paintings hang on the walls.
For example, Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi", Monet's "Daisy", Van Gogh's "Iris", "Pink Rose" and "Almond Blossom".
The candlesticks on the sparkling crystal chandelier are full of retro luxury.
Shuji Tsushima compared the scene in front of him with the scene in his memory, and then the eyes that were staring blankly and the black smoke swirling around appeared in his memory.
As for the specific appearance of the house...
Can not remember.
In other words, he didn't even care about what the house looked like.
"The venue has not been decorated yet, so Master Xiuji might as well go back to his room and rest first." Butler Tanaka suggested.
"Your room has been tidied up." He then said.
"Ah." The young man responded meaninglessly.
"Master Xiuji's room has not changed from its original location..." Butler Tanaka walked to the top of the stairs to lead the way.
The boy raised his feet and walked towards the spiral staircase.
After walking to a room at the end of the corridor on the third floor, Butler Tanaka opened the door.
The overall decoration has the same style as the main building, with white gold-woven quilts, beige-gold curtains, champagne-colored curtains with lace and tassels, and beige gold-woven carpets.
Comes with its own bathroom and small living room.
There are also photos of Tsushima Shuji hanging on the wall.
The young man was wearing a kyudo uniform, holding a bow and arrow, and his eyebrows were sharp.
You can tell at a glance that they were all taken during the archery competition.
"If you have any instructions, just ring the bell or use the phone..." Butler Tanaka gestured to Tsushima Shuji to the retro landline phone on the table and the bronze rattle hanging on the wall.
"Okay." Tsushima Shuji sat on the sofa and said he understood.
"Butler Tanaka, go and do your work, I have nothing to do here." He said.
"Yes, I understand." Butler Tianzhong bowed and left.
"Doesn't our young master Xiuji have no maid to serve him?" Toru Amuro said teasingly when he saw Butler Tanaka leave and immediately sat down on the sofa.
"Toru-kun, do you really want a maid? Hey~ Is it an adult's interest? What a dirty idea~" Tsushima Shuji waved his hands and shook his head, as if he was frightened by the bad ideas of adults.
Toru Amuro: ...I obviously didn’t say anything——
Is it wrong to ask why not having a maid? !
"The Atobe family does have a maid." Tsushima Shuji sat on the sofa and pulled his hair out of boredom.
"The Suzuki family also has it, and the Subou family also has it."
"Akaashi-senpai has a maid at home..." The young man said in a lazy tone.
She is still the kind of maid who wears a kimono and kneels to serve people.
"As for the Tsushima family... they only have bodyguards." Tsushima Shuji puffed up his cheeks and said.
The Tsushima family, like that one, all use bodyguards.
They are also bodyguards who can be called a decathlete.
and……
Even the location of the rooms is the same.
Tsushima Shuji lowered his eyes and stood up after a moment.
He opened the curtains and stood on the floor-to-ceiling windowsill to look out.
Below is a white rose bush.
It’s the same as when I was at Oba Haruhiko’s residence, even...
Below Tsushima Shuji's room was Oba Haruhiko's room.
Even the so-called Peach Blossom Forest.
Shuji Tsushima had never gotten along with those two so-called parents who had died long ago. There was no chance that they would know what flowers Tsushima Shuji liked.
But the Peach Blossom Forest existed a long time ago.
It was earlier than Tsushima Shuji appeared in this world.
At the same time that Tsushima Shuji appeared, the so-called couple also died.
And after Tsushima Shuji appeared.
The Tsushima of the Tsushima family is just the Tsushima of Shuji Tsushima.
