Chapter 477: "New Humanity"
Harusa took a taxi and arrived at a high-class cherry blossom-style teahouse.
The dΓ©cor here is a little more modest than the high-end restaurants I went to, but it is also very sophisticated, and it has a very sophisticated feeling.
Led by a waitress, he walked into a private room.
There was no one in the room.
The waiter asked him if he had ordered, and after receiving a negative answer, he bowed and left.
Harusa looked around, admired the environment, and sat down on the cushion in front of the table, waiting quietly.
He recalled the scene when he met each other in the Primavera Department Store, and he was really startled at that time, and felt that it would be embarrassing to face each other, so he hid in the toilet......
Was it really a coincidence? Harusa wasn't sure, but there was no need to worry about it now.
I've talked to the people she's sent, I've talked to her on the phone, and now it's time to meet each other head-on.
Footsteps were heard, and the door opened.
A beautiful black-haired girl in a white trench coat walks into the room.
Harusa looked at her.
She also looked at Harusa.
The two sides looked at each other, and for a moment it seemed as if a thousand words were exchanged...... It's a joke.
Finally saw it. This was Harusa's first thought.
It's beautiful. This is a second thought.
Other than that, there is nothing else, there is no emotional drama-style love-hate entanglement.
"Long time no see, Sister Weimeng. He smiled.
ββ¦β¦ Long time no see. β
Yumeng's expression was calm, but the glint in her eyes showed that her heart was not like this.
She took off her trench coat to reveal the blouse she was wearing underneath, as well as her tall breasts.
Harusa was stunned when he saw it, and he couldn't help but compare the other party to the summer night, but immediately suppressed this thought and cleared the distractions!
After putting the coat away, Yuimu sat down across from Harusa and ordered.
After the waiter took the bill and left, the scene was quiet for a few seconds.
"When did you become an Onmyoji?" asked Yume.
"Just two days ago. β
"Why didn't you tell me right away?"
"This ...... I didn't think of it for a while. Harusa was a little surprised by the other party's question.
Yumu stared at his face.
"You're doing a great job...... Harusa. β
She said his name.
She kicked out of the house with her own hands and removed her name from the family, her brother's name.
How did she feel when she said that...... I'm afraid even she doesn't know.
Harusa felt the deep emotions contained in the other party's indifferent words.
He smiled back, smiling brightly.
"Thanks to you, Sister Weimeng. β
Judging from his circumstances, this sentence should have been sarcastic, but there was not the slightest hint of sarcasm in his smile and tone, and it was completely sincere.
Yumeng's eyes widened slightly.
The impact at this moment was beyond her expectations.
The scene was quiet again.
After a while, Harusa was about to continue talking, when he heard the other party ask, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"That's right...... I have a few friends who have become Awakened, and the Awakened are not in a good situation right now, and I want to seek refuge for them. β
"You want me to protect them?"
"Yes, if you can. β
"Why don't you do it yourself?"
"Of course I will do what I can, but my power is limited......"
"You think you can't do it, so you want to rely on me?"
"So to speak, I want to at least ask, maybe Sister Weimeng is willing to help. Harusa said frankly.
Yumeng was silent for a moment.
"Your own friend, you don't have the confidence to protect, and you want to rely on someone you claim to defeat?" she looked the other man in the eye. The words contained different emotions than just now.
"Yes, I know it's humiliating, but I want to ask anyway. Harusa took it seriously.
Once again, the scene was quiet.
There was a knock on the door, and then the waiter opened the door, brought tea and snacks, and left quietly.
During this time, Harusa and Yui Meng kept staring at each other, and their eyes did not deviate in the slightest.
"Did you tell Bihua before you talked to me?"
"As I said, she was against me doing that. β
"But you still chose to come to me. β
"Hmm. β
Yume's eyes flickered.
"Are you tempting me?"
Hearing this, Harusa pulled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It's not...... But it's okay. β
"What do you mean?"
"It's true that you want to ask for help, even if it doesn't work, knowing your reaction is rewarding......" He paused, the corners of his mouth curled a little higher, "To be honest, being able to meet you and talk to you face-to-face like this is already beyond expectations." β
Dream: "............"
She had a look of complexity.
Harusa retracted his gaze, looked down at the table, then picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
Well, good tea. He praised in his heart.
Wei Meng still looked at this younger brother for a while, and then picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
The handsome boy, the beautiful girl, and the two sisters and brothers with high scores in the elegant room quietly drinking tea and tasting snacks are not an exaggeration to say that they are movie scenes.
"I won't shelter your friend. After the silence, Yumeng responded, "Your friend, you protect yourself. β
Harusa nodded.
"I'm sorry to bother you about this......"
"But I'll tell you something. Yumu continued, "About the Awakened. β
Harusa blinked, sensing the point.
"Please advise. β
"The Awoken are the 'New Humanity'. β
"New humanity"?
Hearing this term, Harusa showed a subtle expression.
Yumu took his expression as confusion and continued, "They are adaptors of the new era, and they have quite strong potential. β
"This potential is not entirely positive, but also negative. In other words, they can become strong or monsters later. β
"And the new humanity is not limited to the Awakened...... In other words, the world's perception of the so-called awakened is still too narrow. β
"In fact, the 'awakening phenomenon' has already begun to appear. Before the New Year arrived, there were already people who 'woke up'......"
When Wei Meng said this, he looked at the young man opposite, his eyes flashing.
"You're an example yourself, Harusa. β
Harusa: "............"
What does this mean is that I'm also an Awakened One?
So to speak...... It seems to really fit, huh?
His mind was racing.
He thought he was a traverser who had been reborn. But this identity can actually be understood the other way around, that is, he is still the waste Harusa, but he accidentally obtained the memory of an otaku from a parallel world...... Or rather, a part of the soul is fused.
Due to the knee-jerk denial of the waste self, he recognizes himself as a traverser.
But in fact, he is not, he is just "awakened", and he is a "awakened person" who is different from Zi Ji and others, but is essentially the same!
In other words, he is not someone else, not a reborn, not a traverser, not a brave man from another world.
He is Haruta Haruha! The former waste, after the "awakening", the "new human" who suddenly changed!!
