“……”

Met Tsukiwa Shogo's gaze, Edith's eyes widened slightly, his mouth open, but he couldn't say anything.

He should be ...... How is it?

I don't know.

Edith hadn't thought about it yet.

Earlier, he only thought about the scene of accusation and questioning.

And, in those scenes, he all stood on the moral high ground.

He thought that King Shi was sorry for them, so he subconsciously felt that King Shi was also guilty of them.

Therefore, in his imagination, there is a time king who is angry and angry, a time king who is angry and threatening, and a time king who refutes with a weak heart, but he never thought about it...... If, the king of time, calmly, or even indifferently admitted, what should he do?

Shogo Tokiwa looked at Edith, who was stunned in place with a look of confusion on his face, lowered his head and scratched the jaw of the wandering fairy, and said, "Adenis has told me that he has issued a ban on talking about the earth, which means - leave the past behind and start over.

I won't comment on this for the time being.

However, if you don't talk about it, you don't talk about it, as an old man who came to this world from the earth, your memory will never be lost because of this 'don't talk', right?

I saved all of you, and now you're questioning whether I hurt Adenes' wife, so are you going to blame me for the origin of this Red Death?

Edith, you don't trust me.

Although, you agreed with Adenis' decision to honor me as king. ”

At this point, Shogo Tokiwa spread out his hands, looked up, and looked at Edith.

"Frankly, you didn't want to be my people from the beginning, and you were afraid of being ruled by me."

Hearing this, Edith subconsciously retorted: "No, I'...... I really wanted to honor you as king. ”

"Ah, I understand."

Shogo Tsukiwa nodded.

"You think that this world that I have resurrected is a paradise, that life is rich and happy, that you have made your life better and better through what you have learned, and that you are afraid of losing it all, so you agreed to Adenis' decision to make me king, and you don't want me to interfere in your life, so you ignore my warnings to you......

"And now, when disaster came, you came here and said to me, "King of Time, did you do all this?"

"There's no respect for me."

Shogo Tsukiwa looked at Edith and shook his head slightly.

"You didn't take him as your king, and you didn't even want to call me 'Your Majesty.'"

Shogo Tsukiwa opened his right hand, gestured to the report documents on the table, and continued.

"When you should have reported to me about your work and discussed how to defeat the Red Death more effectively, you came to me to ask me if it was the ...... I brought the Red Death to you."

Hearing this, Edith couldn't help but interrupt: "I just want to know the truth. ”

"That's not the truth, that's just your speculation." "In fact, it was under my leadership that the outbreak of the Red Death was brought under control. ”

However, in the face of this fact, Edith frowned tightly.

"If you really caused the Red Death, of course you can control it!"

This sentence blurted out under a "unconvinced" emotion in his heart.

After saying that, Edith's expression froze.

He also seemed to know that this sentence was too rude, and remembered the sentence that Adenis had told him before he came in, and quickly added.

“…… I just want you to tell me the truth. ”

However, Edith's additional explanation might as well not be said.

Shogo Tokiwa, who had already sunk his face before, looked even darker this time.

He finally rubbed You Liuxian's head, put You Liuxian on the table, got up, and stepped out of the chair.

"Edith, Edith."

Across the desk, Shogo Tokiwa spread out his hands and said.

"What the hell have I done to make you disrespect me so much?"

Taking a step, Shogo Tokiwa said as he walked towards Edith.

"If you come to me today as one of my people to ask me how the Red Death disease came to be, and how to develop a cure for it, you will only get a perfect answer today, and that is exactly what I am ready to give you."

Shogo Tokiwa walked up to Edith and looked him in the eye.

"As long as you are my people, then your enemies are also my enemies......"

Shogo Tsukiwa raised his hand, raised a finger, pointed at Edith for a moment, paused, and continued.

"Then there is nothing to be afraid of, whoever the enemy is."

When the words fell, Shogo Tokiwa's fingers fell, and he no longer spoke, but looked down at Edith, waiting for his answer.

Looking at Edith again, I don't know which sentence he started, he no longer dared to look directly into Tsukiwa Shogo's eyes.

At this time, Edith said to Shogo Tokiwa:

“…… I was wrong, I shouldn't have made those speculations that shouldn't have ......"

That's the truth.

“…… Sorry ......"

Edith bent deeply to Shogo Tokiwa.

"Your Majesty."

Looking at Edith, who finally showed a gesture of submission, Shogo Tokiwa was silent for a moment, raised his hand, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good."

Then he took two steps and sat down on the edge of his desk, looking at Edith.

"Let's start debriefing."

Hearing this, Edith got up, turned to Shogo Tokiwa, and respectfully began to report the results of his work during this time.

After listening, Shogo Tokiwa nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, it seems that you haven't wasted all your time thinking about it these days."

Move your palm back, pick up the memory he had placed on the table, and move it forward......

And when the memory that had been used by Shogo Tokiwa to tease the Wandering Immortal was taken in front of him, it had turned into a file bag full of research reports on the Red Death.

"No, with your current research progress, you should be able to understand what is in it."

"...... this?"

Facing the document bag handed over by Shogo Tokiwa, Edith asked subconsciously while bending down and taking it with both hands.

In this regard, Shogo Tokiwa chuckled lightly and calmly informed Edith of the answer.

"This is what Igor will study in the future, an effective solution for the treatment of the Red Death."

Shogo Tokiwa's words made Editon's eyes widen in astonishment.

"The ...... of the future Igor's plan? ”

"That's right."

Shogo Tokiwa explained Edith's consternation.

"I'm the king of time, isn't it natural that I can do such a thing?"

Shogo Tokiwa said with a smile.

However......

This is a lie.

Shogo Tsukiwa did not get that research material from the future in the true sense of the word, but from his past history.

That's right, the memory that became the predecessor of this research material is the memory that Igor gave to Shogo Tokiwa before.

Woz once said to Yamauchi Onari and Akari Tsukimura that it was an honor for Igor to dedicate his life to His Majesty the Demon King.

Obviously, that's what it refers to.

To be honest, Shogo Tokiwa, as an active high school student, is still a scumbag, and his knowledge reserve itself is very limited.

It can be said that in terms of research, Shogo Tokiwa is definitely inferior to Edith.

However, Shogo Tokiwa is a king, not a researcher.

If the king can do everything, and the king has done everything, then do the subjects need to do it?

The king and his subjects should be mutually fulfilling.

Shogo Tokiwa told Edith about this theory and then came to a conclusion.

"—Edith, I need you, and you, I need me."

Tokiwa Shogo Road.

"Therefore, no matter when, do not complain, but try to find that glimmer of hope, and as long as you can find a glimmer of possibility to the future, then that future will come!

"Do you know why?"

Facing Tokiwa Shogo's encouraging gaze, Edith's eyes gradually became fiery and said:

"Because we are your people!!"

Shogo Tokiwa smiled and waved his hand to signal that Edith could leave with the file bag.

Edith bowed and respectfully retired.

Then, just as Edith was about to walk to the door, he suddenly heard a voice behind him, as if he had suddenly remembered something.

"Ah, by the way, Edith, do you remember that dream you had years ago?"

Shogo Tokiwa sat on the edge of the table, looking at Edith, whose figure suddenly froze in front of him, and helped him awaken his past memories.

"That's it, reminding you not to use technology and machines that you haven't fully understood...... Dream. ”

There was a pause, and then, with a chuckle.

"If you have time, you can go to someone and ask if their answer in the dream is the same as yours."
