Great Sky Temple.

The index finger and middle finger of the right hand of the Sky Temple Venerable were brought together, and according to the practice of the father in memory, they were pressed against the back of the left hand, and then the sword finger of the right hand was raised, erected in front of the chest, concentrating and summoning the hero.

“……”

As a result, nothing happened.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

A hint of loss flashed in the Sky Temple's eyes.

That's when it happened.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was the sound of a Zen staff hitting the ground behind him.

"Your Highness!"

It is the voice of Yamauchi Omari.

"Please let the little monk practice with you!"

When the Sky Temple Venerable heard this, his expression suddenly froze.

It's like graduating from secondary school, occasionally getting interested, returning to the setting, but being seen by my family, I feel embarrassed.

"No, no, no, I wasn't ...... just now"

Sky Temple Zun hurriedly turned around, turned around, and tried to explain to Yamauchi Omari.

However, as soon as he turned around, his expression was stunned, and his words stopped abruptly.

Because behind him, there was no one.

"Yusei?"

The Sky Temple Venerable shouted suspiciously and tentatively.

"Where are you?"

No one responded.

Obviously, Yamauchi's voice just now sounded from behind him.

"Don't joke with me, Yusei, come out quickly!"

The Sky Temple Venerable shouted.

Look around at the same time.

But there was silence all around, and no one responded to his cries.

It was only at this time that the Sky Temple finally discovered that not only Yamauchi Misari, who was supposed to be standing behind him, was gone, but even the Hachioji Shibuya and Kisarazu Narita, who were still cleaning in the courtyard just now, had also disappeared.

"How so...... What happened? ”

Just as the Sky Temple Venerable was puzzled and the anxiety in his heart began to climb rapidly, a bicycle bell suddenly rang from outside the temple.

Jingle jingle ~~~

The Sky Temple turned around in surprise and immediately looked in the direction of the bicycle bell.

I saw an unknown person walking from outside the temple on a bicycle.

……

Shogo Tsukiwa rode the postman's bicycle and came to the Sky Temple alone.

In order to be able to have a good solitary environment with the Sky Temple, Shogo Tokiwa not only stopped the time of the Great Sky Temple, but also used the game field to isolate the Sky Temple into a virtual space.

"Sky Temple."

Facing the Sky Temple Zun who was looking at him, Shogo Tsukiwa stopped his bicycle and greeted the Sky Temple.

"Hello, I'm Shogo Tokiwa, a futuristic person from [2018]."

Immediately, Tsukiwa Shogo got out of the car, only took out the eye soul package sent by the Sky Temple Dragon, and walked towards the Sky Temple Zun.

And the Sky Temple, who was shocked by Tokiwa Shogo's outspoken words, was really a little confused for a while.

Why, a futuristic person suddenly appeared?

That's not the point, though.

The point is......

"Don't worry about the others, they're all right."

Compared to himself, the Sky Temple Venerable is now more worried about the situation of Yamauchi Yusei and them.

As if hearing the voice of the Sky Temple, Shogo Tsukiwa immediately took the initiative to explain after introducing himself.

"They're still in the safe real world, and it's just you, pulled into this virtual space."

Shogo Tsukiwa told the Sky Temple.

"So actually, it's not that they're gone, it's that you're gone."

"Well, they're fine."

Sky Temple Venerable breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard that I was in a "dangerous situation", but I felt fortunate that I was the only one in "danger".

Sky Temple, can't you worry about yourself first?

Shogo Tokiwa's palm couldn't help but tighten for a moment, and then let go.

The more this is the case, the greater the guilt that arises in Tokiwa Shogo's heart.

Because, he has already let such a Sky Temple Venerable die nineteen times, and this time, it will not be an exception......

Shogo Tokiwa took a deep breath.

"What about you?"

Tokiwa Shogo asked Sky Temple.

"Don't you care about yourself?"

When the Sky Temple Venerable heard this, a touch of surprise appeared on his face.

"Ah, yes."

Sky Temple Venerable smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, but excuse me, do you have something to do with me?"

To be honest, although he is a stranger who has never met before, Sky Temple has a natural affinity for Shogo Tokiwa.

Probably, that's why I'm so defenseless against him.

Regarding his own approach of giving priority to others at this time, the conclusion reached by the Sky Temple Venerable was slightly different from that of Shogo Tokiwa.

And this pure kindness given by the Sky Temple Venerable also made Tsukiwa Shogo a little discouraged.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

"Huh? Why apologize? ”

"No, nothing."

Tsukiwa Shogo shook his head and said to the Sky Temple.

"Sky Temple, the reason why I brought you to this virtual space is because I want to ask for your opinion."

"What?" Sky Temple asked.

Shogo Tokiwa was silent, then took a deep breath.

"Sky Temple."

"Hmm."

"Excuse me, can I kill you?"

Tokiwa Shogo's serious and sincere request made the expression of the Sky Temple Venerable who heard this sentence suddenly fall into a dullness.

“…… Ha? ”

After this, as if he had finally raised his vigilance against Shogo Tokiwa, the Sky Temple Venerable took a step back and said with a tensible expression.

"Can I say no?"

Shogo Tokiwa was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes."

Yes, you can.

If this is the choice of the Sky Temple, Tokiwa Sogo will follow.

Although Kadoyashi's words were harsh, they made Shogo Tokiwa understand one thing.

What he is looking for is a future that will give the Sky Temple a better ending.

But if you want to get that future, you need to keep hurting the Sky Temple before that.

So in this process, he has been ignoring the will of the Sky Temple, is this really good?

Just because he's in the name of "for his good"?

It is absolutely undesirable to only focus on one's own ideals and ignore the wishes of the parties.

Shogo Tokiwa definitely doesn't want to be like Adenes and become an emperor who abandons understanding people's hearts.

He wants to be the most merciful and good king.

But......

"But, Sky Temple, I hope you can make a decision after understanding [all]."

Tokiwa Shogo's earnestness was passed on to the Sky Temple.

"You...... Wasn't it a joke? ”

The Sky Temple was stunned.

"Hmm."

Shogo Tsukiwa nodded.

In silence, the Sky Temple Zun looked directly into Shogo Tokiwa's eyes.

But no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find any malice in Shogo Tokiwa's eyes.

There is only apology, and a faint tiredness.

And that tiredness, no doubt, came from an encounter with the men who passed through this era.

But whether it was apology or exhaustion, it was not something that the Sky Temple Venerable, who knew nothing at this time, could fully understand.

Even so, though, it's enough.

"I see, then, please tell me what you mean ...... [all]."

The Sky Temple took Shogo Tokiwa's suggestion.

So, Shogo Tokiwa nodded.

He first opened the eye soul package sent by the Sky Temple Dragon, and handed the eye soul to the Sky Temple Venerable.

Then take out the Ghost Knight Watch of the Demon Time King, turn the dial, and start.

【Ghost！ 】

"It might be a little uncomfortable, so please bear with me."

As soon as the words fell, Shogo Tokiwa pressed the Ghost Knight Watch into the body of the Sky Temple, just like a time robber created a different kind of knight.

Boom!

And at the moment when Shogo Tsukiwa pressed the Ghost Knight Watch into the body of the Sky Temple, a pair of golden wings suddenly opened from the back of the Sky Temple.

Pure white feathers fall from the sky.

[Time] turned into a picture of memory, flashing quickly in the eyes of the Sky Temple.

The Sky Temple Venerable understood [all].
