Chapter 18: A New Image

Osaki Nana, who had just run over, suddenly shouted when she saw the man, and Shota turned sideways to see him frowning.

"It's you!"

The person in front of him was the weirdo Shota he had known on the construction site before, but he didn't expect this person who looked to be about thirty years old to be a student.

"Didn't I say that there is something you can come to me in Sakurai Road, but you don't listen to it."

Shan Lan looked at him with a self-inflicted expression.

"No need, it's settled. I'll bother you with the rest, and I'll have to rush to buy discounted fruit. ”

After saying that, Shota turned around and left.

"What an interesting guy, can you be so calm when you encounter this kind of thing."

Shan Lan shook his head and turned to look at the Songshan Temple in his hand, his white teeth revealing a warm smile.

"Looks like I've been gone for so long that you bugs have forgotten the rules. Don't worry, I'll keep you to remember.

Use your body. ”

After leaving, Shota didn't go to the so-called discount supermarket at all, but went home directly, and as soon as he entered the house, he sat on the ground limply, and his body began to sweat wildly.

"Is this what heroes never look back at?"

The shadow of the scene just now is still in his heart for a while.

At that time, it was not that he didn't want to face Songshan Temple, but he was already in that state, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and show his timidity.

Although it was facing away from him, he had already gathered all his power on his senses, and as long as he entered the attack range, even if he risked showing his stuffing, he would abolish that guy in Songshan Temple and make him regret coming to this world.

Tearing off the tape and looking at his somewhat white hands that were still shivering and soaked in sweat, Shota leaned his head against the wall and looked at the ceiling.

"I'm glad I'm alive."

Putting his hands on his face and feeling the heat transmitted by his palms, Shota suddenly laughed silently.

Back in the system, Xiao Ling was dancing around him excitedly.

"I saw that battle, you are so handsome."

Is it handsome? Shota asked himself suddenly, then shook his head.

"I'd like to meet Toyohisa Shimazu."

"The system characters appear randomly, and he's already gone back, so I can't help that."

"Yes."

Shota was a little disappointed not to see him, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Why don't you leave so soon?"

After glancing at the popcorn and large bottle of Coke that she didn't know where she got it, Xiaoling flew in front of him with a gossip on her face.

"Neurotic!"

After fighting with her for a while, Shota returned to reality, and now it was dark outside, got up and took out yesterday's working meal to warm it up, and he took off his clothes and went to the bathroom.

"Shhh

Looking at the blue and purple skin in the mirror, now the whole person is refreshed by the cold water.

"Tomorrow will be a fresh start."

Because it was the weekend, he didn't get up so early, and the pain after yesterday's battle had fermented overnight before it really exploded, and even though he was lying under the covers, he still felt like he had fallen into a cave full of needles.

Even if I want to continue to rest, my body doesn't seem to allow it.

"It's the weekend, it's time to see the landlady."

When she was discharged from the hospital before, Minako said that she wanted to find a chance to see her, probably in order to keep track of her latest developments.

There was no reason to refuse, so Shota got up, got dressed, washed up, and went out.

He's in Kita-ku, and Minako lives in the more prosperous Atsuta district, so he still has to take a car.

"Excuse me."

At the time of the meal, Shota appeared at the door of Minako's house accurately, which is more suitable than where he lives.

"Shota-kun is here, please come in. I'm cooking, please wait a while. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

Minako wore a knitted sweater with an apron tied around her waist, and ran back after saying hello. Since it wasn't the first time I'd come, Shota took off his shoes and walked in.

"China-chan!"

There was a little girl sitting on the floor playing with blocks in the living room, and Shota walked over with a smile when he saw her.

"Hug ...... Hug! ”

There was no resistance to this natural cute Shota at all, and looking at her crawling over and opening her hands, he also forgot the pain all over his body and lifted her up to turn the plane with a smile.

"Giggles!"

Hearing the voice, Minako poked her head out of the kitchen.

"China, come down and let Shota rest for a while."

"It's okay Aunt Minako, I'll play with China-chan for a while."

"Then I'm bothering you."

The two bowed Minako and went back to cooking, Shota lifted her up to his neck and sat down, and the two ran around the house.

"Horse ...... Run, big Malaysia! ”

Now China's speech is still a little slurred, and Shota can only listen to a rough idea, but this does not affect him from teasing the child.

Trotting all the way, China's laughter never stopped, and he himself was already sweating profusely.

"Whew! It's really tiring to play with children, this is ......"

Just as Shota crossed his waist to catch his breath, he suddenly noticed a pair of black-framed glasses under the coffee table on the sofa, which seemed to have been placed here for a long time, and a layer of floating ash had fallen on the lenses.

"It was left by China's father, and it was a flat mirror. If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”

Just as Shota was looking at the glasses and getting distracted, Minako came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and when she saw him staring at the glasses, she spoke.

"Ahh No, I'm just going to take a look. ”

"Don't be polite to me, those glasses weren't a valuable thing, I just didn't find them before, if you don't want them, then I'll have to lose them."

Shota looked at her with China-chan on his shoulder, and then bowed.

"Thank you so much."

Although his eyes are not short-sighted, but when he saw this pair of glasses, he remembered the past, not so much a decoration as nostalgia, after all, more than 20 years of habits, all of a sudden, his heart is a little empty.

"I didn't expect it to suit you."

Looking at himself in the mirror, because the previous long bangs covered up made Shota look gloomy, and now he used cold water to pull his hair back to reveal clean cheeks, with black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he has a hint of ascetic teenager look.

"That's who you really are."

He didn't expect that just by changing his hairstyle, he would become different, looking at the boy's unique whiteness, he touched his cheeks and slowly turned his head.

"I didn't expect Xiang Taijun to be a handsome guy, why didn't I find out before?"

Minako was also watching him with her arms crossed, and Shota picked up China, who was grabbing his trouser leg on the ground after a few glances.

"I don't care how I look, I just think it's good to be clean, what does Aunt Minako think?"

"Clean?"

She was a little thoughtful, and Shota looked at her and suddenly smiled and shook her head.

"Aunt Minako, what does this smell like?"

"Taste! What does it taste like? That's right! My food!! ”

Seeing her hurriedly running over, Shota and China both laughed behind him, and he continued to take China to play a game of riding a big horse.
