To be honest, just now, for a moment, Shogo Tokiwa really suspected that his uncle had been dropped.

Otherwise, what's going on with this kind of hotel send-off tone?

My family is obviously ......

At this moment, Shunichiro Tokiwa's next words continued to sound.

“…… My house is obviously a watch shop. ”

“……”

Looking at his uncle, who reacted and had a confused expression, Tokiwa Shogo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded secretly.

Whew, relieved.

That's right, that's the smell.

It turned out that my uncle was not given a bag by someone, but developed a new business......

Just thinking about it, Tokiwa Shogo suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly turned around to look.

"Wait!"

At this time, the door had already reached the curtain of the entrance.

Hearing the shout, he stopped and turned back.

As far as the eye could see, I saw Tsukiwa Shogo take a few steps forward, looking at him with a serious expression.

"What the hell are you looking for me?" Shogo Tokiwa asked, "Is it just to eat my meal?" ”

"Ah, if you don't say it, I'll forget ......"

Hearing this, a sudden look appeared on Menyashi's face, and he turned to Shogo Tokiwa and continued.

"I remember, I'm here to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Shogo Tokiwa frowned.

"Huh."

Instead of answering directly, he chuckled and said.

"I've figured out your situation......

He raised his hand, spread it out in the direction where Shogo Tsukiwa was, and continued.

"Shogo Tokiwa, although you don't want to be a demon king like the Demon King, you still dream of becoming a king, and you are constantly pursuing to gain a power equal to, or even surpass, the Demon King, right?"

"Yes." Shogo Tokiwa replied without the slightest hesitation, and he never hid anything about it.

Hearing this, Menyashi raised his eyebrows, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, looking very happy.

Bang Bang Bang –

"It's you!" He applauded, "In that case, then I'll just say it...... In order to attain that supreme power, first of all, there is one thing that you must do. ”

Kadoya held up a finger, paused in the air, and reached into his pocket.

"That is, collect all the watches of the legendary knights in the Heisei era that represent the relevant years, and in this way, there is one person, no matter what, you can't get around......"

With that, Kadoya took a watch out of his pocket, raised it, and tapped his index finger twice on the edge of the watch, flipping it over to show the dial to Shogo Tokiwa.

"Oh, I say that, do you understand?"

“……”

Facing the knight's watch that Kadoyashi took out, Shogo Tokiwa's pupils instantly contracted.

"Decade's ...... Knight's watch! ”

"Yes, that's it."

Putting away the Decade Knight Watch in his hand again, Kadoya walked up to Shogo Tsukiwa, raised his left hand, and stretched out to Shogo Tsukiwa.

But in the next moment, his hand was blocked by Shogo Tokiwa.

“……”

“……”

After a moment of silence, Kadoya smiled again and withdrew his hand absently.

"Shogo Tokiwa, do you remember what I said to you when we met at the Great Sky Temple earlier?"

"Ah, I remember it very well."

Tokiwa Shogo's eyes were slightly closed, and a dull light flashed under his eyes.

"What, have your observations come to a conclusion? Just because, you've 'probably figured it out'? ”

The tone was slightly bad, but Kadoya didn't care.

Should it be said to be self-aware? As for the fact that his way of speaking and acting are not very pleasant, Kadoya is still very clear.

He didn't want to change himself, so he had to make himself a little more generous.

Kadoya smiled, "Yes, 'probably' is enough. ”

"Hmph, let's talk about it, your conclusion after 'roughly figuring it out'......"

Shogo Tokiwa sneered.

"Now, do you still think that my change in history is in a bad direction?"

"That's right, Tokiwa Shogo, you are too much of a perfect ending, and perfection itself is a kind of imperfection, in addition, your obsession, no doubt, will definitely make you hesitate at the critical moment when you need to make a sacrifice."

The expression on Kadoyashi's face remained unchanged as he continued.

"Because you are 'you', I have no doubt that you can sacrifice yourself to save the world at a critical moment, but you are not exactly 'you', therefore, I will not identify with you now."

Shogo Tokiwa understood the meaning of Kadoyashi's words.

"So, you're saying that as long as I don't make the changes you want, you won't identify with me, and if you don't agree with me, you're definitely not going to give me the Decade's knight's watch...... Are you trying to say this? ”

"That's right." Kadoya nodded.

"Just because, you think, I may not be able to make the choice to give up at a critical moment?"

"Yes." Kadoya nodded again, "Strangers aside, family, friends, lovers...... Everything you hold dear to you is likely to be on the list of discarding, do you really think you can complete the discarding in that moment? ”

"......" Shogo Tsukiwa gritted his teeth, "What about you?" Can you? ”

"Of course I can't!"

Menyashi spread his hands, and this answer without hesitation made Tsukiwa Shogo's whole person feel stagnant.

"Huh?" After reacting, he immediately breathed, "I can't give you back ......"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Kadoya interrupted Shogo Tokiwa.

"I said, are you mistaken?"

At this point, a smile appeared on Menyashi's face, and he stared at Shogo Tokiwa's eyes tightly, and said word by word.

"This is a requirement for the king! It's me, the king's request that I will agree with! ”

At this moment, from the eyes of Menyashi, Shogo Tokiwa saw the feelings that seemed to drown him, turning over the river and the sea.

His palms clenched and he asked, "What if you also appear on the discarded list by then?" When the king makes the decision to give up, will you give yourself willingly!? ”

Hearing this, Kadoya suddenly smiled.

"Ah, I've already given my life."

“……”

Hearing this, Shogo Tokiwa's eyes widened instantly, all his thoughts came to an abrupt halt, his mouth opened uncontrollably, and he looked at Menyashi in a daze.

At this moment, he suddenly lost all words.

At the same time, he suddenly realized something...... In the future, will the Monyashi and the Demon King agree with each other?

Looking at Shogo Tokiwa, who was caught in this state, Kanoya smiled again and took a step back.

"Of course, in addition to getting my approval, you have another way to get a Decade's knight's watch as well."

Smiling and spreading his hands, Kadoya continued.

"Down with me...... Only, you can do it. ”

“……”

Shogo Tsukiwa didn't speak, just looked at Kadoyashi.

In such a situation, he could not say anything to bring down the menyashi.

After a moment of silence, he asked Menyashi.

"You're from [the future]?"

"Nope." Kadoya shook his head, "I'm from [the past]. ”

The unexpected answer made Shogo Tokiwa speechless again.

In the silence, I saw a laugh from the door.

"What a childish, young demon king."

With that, Kadoya reached into his pocket again, took out a photograph, back up, and handed it to Shogo Tokiwa.

"You're welcome, this photo is just what I paid for the meal."

After a while, Shogo Tsukiwa raised his hand to take it.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he turned around, and while walking towards the entrance, he raised his hand and said:

"Goodbye."

After the words fell, he shook the hand holding the camera lanyard, carried the camera behind his back, lifted the entrance curtain with the other hand, and walked in.

Click!

Soon, the sound of the door opening and closing sounded.

Apparently, Kadoya had left the 9-to-5 class.

At this time, Shogo Tsukiwa lowered his head and flipped the photo in his hand.

As soon as I saw it, Shogo Tokiwa understood.

The picture on the photo is the one he was taken when he first met Moyashi at the Great Sky Temple.

Although, the background of the Great Sky Temple in that picture is distorted.

In the picture, he not only appears ghosted, but the background colors on both sides of him and the ghost are also divided into light and dark by a crooked "line".

The ghost in the photo is draped in a heavy dark light, and his expression is similar and inexplicably different from the slightly surprised face in the photo.

The overall composition, the dark light ghosting, is both like a devil is separating from his body in the photo, and like a devil is possessing him......

……

……

Meanwhile.

Woz, who was sitting on the stairs at the corner of the stairs, sighed softly, withdrew his gaze from Shogo Tokiwa, bowed his head, and opened the Demon Advent Calendar in his hand.

"The book says ......"
