Chapter 494: Ten Years Late Hospitality
Hearing Shogo in the mirror world, Shunichiro Tsukiwa quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:
"Ahh
Hearing this, Mirror World Zhuang Wu pursed his lips, was silent for a while, and said in a submissive whisper:
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry. β
"No, no, no, no need to apologize, Shogo."
Facing the apology of Shogo in the mirror world, Shunichiro Tokiwa hurriedly waved his hand.
"Uncle wasn't frightened, Uncle was just, a little worried, because, your expression just now made Uncle couldn't help but think of you that day......"
To be precise, it made Junichiro Tokiwa can't help but think of ten years ago, when he first saw Shogo Tokiwa after losing his parents.
"So, is something not so good going on?"
Mirror World Shogo: "......"
This time, he didn't answer again.
Instead, he lowered his eyes and fell completely silent.
For a while, Shunichiro Tokiwa, who didn't wait for Shogo to respond in the mirror world, sighed lightly in his heart and took the initiative to take a step back.
"Well, you've always been a reassuring child, and since you don't want to say it, then, Uncle won't ask much, but ......"
At this point, Shunichiro Tokiwa's face couldn't help but show a look of expectation.
"Sometimes, my uncle also wants to be relied on by you more."
Saying this, Shunichiro Tokiwa secretly glanced at Shogo in the Mirror World, and then, in the silence of Shogo in the Mirror World without any response, his expression gradually became a little embarrassed.
"Hah...... Hahaha......"
He chuckled dryly, then pretended to look outside the store and changed the subject.
"It seems that there was no earthquake, and I don't know what happened just now, but it's good that there was no earthquake...... Ah, by the way, Shogo, didn't you say you'd be back later today? Now that I'm back, have I left something at home? β
Falling, something?
Hearing this, Mirror World Zhuangwu finally broke the silence, shook his head, and said:
"No, I didn't leave anything here."
The premise of dropping something is that something can be dropped.
It's a pity that in this family, there is not a single thing that belongs to Shogo in the mirror world.
Because, from the very beginning, the only one who came to live in this house was Shogo Tokiwa.
Let's ask, how could he, who has never lived in a 9-to-5 room, leave something here?
Therefore, when he heard Shunichiro Tokiwa say this, Shogo in the mirror world couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
However, when Shogo really wanted to put this idea into action, he found that he couldn't laugh at all.
Soβ
[What the hell am I here for?] ]
In the mirror world, Zhuang Wu twisted his eyebrows, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Immediately, he came back to his senses.
[Ah, I remember......]
He came, it seems, just to see his uncle.
Take a look at the store that this uncle invited him back then, but he never had the opportunity to visit, what kind of place is it.
Not through the memories of another self, but through his own eyes, his own body, to truly experience it.
As soon as he thought of this, Mirror World Zhuang Wu subconsciously said:
"I'll come back and have a meal."
After a pause, it seemed that he felt that his words were too blunt, and Mirror World Shogo added.
"Lunch."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Shunichiro Tokiwa was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately, and a smile resurfaced on his face.
"Okay, I'll go get ready."
He didn't ask Mirror World Shogo how the lunch box prepared in the morning, nor did he say anything that he and Tsukiyo had already eaten, and he was cleaning up in the kitchen just now, but immediately agreed to Mirror World Shogo, and after saying that, he kindly hugged Mirror World Shogo's shoulder, and after placing him in the dining room, he turned around and returned to the kitchen and began to cook for Mirror World Shogo.
Actually, in normal times, Shunichiro Tokiwa would still ask a few more questions.
But in the face of the mirror world, Shogo ......
Although Shunichiro Tokiwa didn't know what was going on, he also knew that the Shogo in front of him was different from the Shogo he usually knew.
Of course, this difference only refers to the difference in mental state, not that even people are not the same.
After all, to treat Mirror World Shogo and Joban Shogo, who also sincerely call his uncle, as two people without knowing anything, is really a bit of a test of common sense for ordinary people.
Therefore, what Shunichiro Tokiwa is thinking about now is more that Shogo may have encountered something outside, which caused him to be very homesick for a while, so he will return home at this time, and say that he is coming back...... Eat a meal.
To tell the truth, such a scene, such a Shogo, before he really took Shogo to live at home, Shunichiro Tokiwa had imagined.
However, he thought that this should have happened when Shogo first came to live in his house, but it didn't really happen until today......
With this in mind, Shunichiro Tsukiwa looked around his kitchen, and then walked towards the flour bag.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Meantime.
At the counter.
With Shogo in the mirror world being taken away by Junichiro Tokiwa, Tsukiyomi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
She sat down on the chair behind the counter at once, raised her hand to press her chest, felt the beating heart, couldn't help but gasp twice, and exclaimed in her heartβ
It's too dangerous...... It's really, it's too dangerous!
Oh my God, she thought she was going to die.
Shogo, it turns out that you still have such a dangerous side!?
Despite thinking so, Tsukiyomi quickly perked up, brushed his fingers over the location where the future phone was hidden on his body, took a deep breath, got up from his chair, and walked towards the kitchen where Junichiro Tsukiwa was.
At the same time, she uttered a self-to-yourself speech that seemed to comfort herself.
"It's okay, it's okay, uncle and me...... It's going to be fine! β
Having said that, when passing by the restaurant where Shogo was in the mirror world, Tsukiyo's body still slowed down very honestly, and carefully bypassed Mirror World Shogo far away.
Fortunately, Mirror World Shogo has been sitting quietly at the dining table during this period, and he hasn't even looked at Yueyu.
Looks unusually well-behaved, even, a little restrained?
Uh, how is that possible?
As soon as he thought of this, Tsukiyo hurriedly shook his head, and after approaching the kitchen door, he immediately quickened his pace and rushed in quickly, until he walked to the side of Shunichiro Tokiwa, and then he really relaxed.
Then, she secretly glanced out and quietly asked Junichiro Tokiwa a question that she had been concerned about since just now.
"Uncle, you just said that the current Zhuang Wu reminds you of him that day...... What day was that 'that day'? Can you tell me? β
Tsukiyomi thought that perhaps, she could find clues to the origin of Shogo in the mirror world from the "that day" in the mouth of Junichiro Tokiwa.
And Tsukiwa Shunichiro, who heard Tsukiyo's question, froze in his hand, and then, he sighed, turned his head, looked at Tsukiyo, thought about it, and decided to say it.
After all, Yueyu is a person who wants to live with Zhuang Wu in the future, and it is better for her to know more about this information.
What's more, it's not information that has to be withheld.
Thinking like this, Shunichiro Tokiwa asked Tsukiyo.
"Shogo's parents...... It's no longer there, you should already know about it, right? β
Hearing this, Yue Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Speaking of this topic, Yueyu's expression fell at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
If she could, she didn't want to reveal Shogo Tokiwa's scars at this time.
However, there is a way to know oneself and know one's opponent in order to survive a hundred battles.
Life is impermanent, and there are always accidents.
Even the Demon King has irreparable regrets.
Precisely because of this.
Therefore, time will be particularly precious.
And that's exactly why!
Therefore, Yue Yu especially didn't want to let go of this opportunity to learn about the mirror world Zhuang Wu.
She had a hunch that if she missed this opportunity at this time, she would regret it later.
At this point, Tsukiyo continued:
"I heard that it was an unfortunate car accident."
"yes, it was...... Very unfortunate car accident. β
Hearing Shunichiro Tokiwa's words, Tsukiyomi nodded again.
She had checked that on April 24, 2009, there were only two children who survived the car accident that occurred that day.
Shogo is one of them.
Junichiro Tokiwa told Tsukiyo.
"As soon as I received a notification from the police, I rushed to the hospital...... In fact, there were other relatives who received the notice at that time, but they only observed Zhuang Wu from a distance for a while, and left after sharing the medical expenses.
"I've also quietly observed.
"At that time, Zhuang Wu's expression was indeed terrifying."
Hearing this, Yue Yu couldn't help but interject:
"Like, just now?"
"Hmm."
Junichiro Tokiwa nodded.
It is indeed pitiful for a child who has lost his parents, but no one wants to adopt a child who is terrible and troublesome at first sight.
Especially, that little kid, and a very weird dream......
Therefore, in the end, the only one who remained was Junichiro Tokiwa.
"To be honest, I don't know if I, a lonely old man, can take care of Zhuang Wu, but I really can't let go of Zhuang Wu, so I thought about getting in touch with Zhuang Wu first.
"After contact, I found out that he is really a very good child.
So, in the process of contact, I couldn't help but send him an invitation.
"I'm glad he was willing to come to my house.
"Until now, I have always felt that it is really good to be able to live with Zhuang Wu all these years."
At this point, it's actually off topic.
However, Tsukiyomi did not interrupt Junichiro Tokiwa, but continued to be a qualified listener quietly.
Just listen to Shunichiro Tokiwa continue:
"Of course, after living with Shogo, I didn't have any troubles at all, that is, in the face of Shogo, I never knew what to do to be best for him.
"Shogo's parents are gone, I'm lonely, I really don't know how to get along with him, and I don't know how far away to keep from him.
"So, over the years, looking at Zhuang Wu, who has been alone, I have never said anything about him.
"To be honest, I should have taught him a good lesson.
"But I didn't even have this bit of courage, I'm ashamed, and I've always regretted it."
At this point, it seemed that he felt that this topic was too heavy, and Shunichiro Tokiwa hurriedly laughed.
"Hahaha, it's strange that I'm regretting this, isn't it?"
When Yue Yu heard this, he immediately shook his head, indicating that there was no such thing.
At the same time, she finally understood why Zhuang Wu in the mirror world respected her uncle so much.
For Shogo, who lost his parents at that time and the whole world fell into darkness, the appearance of his uncle was the only light.
So is Shogo.
The mirror world of Shogo, who was also at that point in time, was naturally the same.
Seeing Yueyu's reaction, Tokiwa Shunichiro was stunned for a moment, and then, there was more smile on his face, and looking at Yueyu's eyes, he was more and more kind and satisfied.
"Monthly reading." He said, "Thank you, you can like Shogo." β
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
in the restaurant.
Sitting behind the dining table, the mirror looked up and looked into the kitchen.
A strange emotion flashed in his eyes.
β¦β¦
Time passes.
A moment later, in the mirror world Shogo's patient waiting.
His lunch was finally ready.
First of all, the dish that was brought to Shogo in the mirror world by Tsukiyomi was - tempura.
Seeing that dish, Mirror World Zhuang Wu's hand hanging by his side suddenly couldn't help but tremble.
Immediately afterwards, the other dishes and staple foods were also served to the table separately by Tsukiyomi and Junichiro Tokiwa.
For those dishes, the moon reading is not clear, but the mirror world Shogo knows.
Those are all dishes that Shunichiro Tsukiwa made with him in the hospital ten years ago, and when he was discharged from the hospital and came to this house, he would cook his first meal.
But why do you do this at this time?
As soon as he thought of this, Shogo in the mirror world suddenly couldn't help but look at Shunichiro Tsukiwa.
"Uncle, why ......"
Regarding Shogo's question in the mirror world, Shunichiro Tokiwa smiled embarrassedly.
"Actually, I don't know why I suddenly want to make this table, but I suddenly feel that you should want to eat them now, so I ...... Uh, is it my uncle who did something wrong? β
At the end of the words, Shunichiro Tokiwa asked the mirror world Shogo a little nervously.
Mirror World Shogo shook his head.
"No, I'm happy."
When the words fell, Zhuang Wu in the mirror world folded his hands.
"I'm moving."
Then, he picked up his chopsticks and first took a chopstick tempura tofu and put it in his mouth.
With just one bite, Shogo in the mirror world left tears in the surprised and stunned gazes of Tsukiyomi and Junichiro Tokiwa.
"Huh? Shogo!? β
In the worried shouts of Shunichiro Tokiwa, Shogo of the mirror world said loudly:
"Delicious!"
After the words fell, he went to pick up other dishes again.
And every time he finished eating, he would say it out loud -
"Delicious!"
It's really, so delicious.
These dishes can be as delicious as he imagined, really, great!
These dishes can be even better than the dishes he got in his memory, really, great!
It's really, really good to be here!
Looking at such a mirror world of Shogo, Shunichiro Tokiwa couldn't help but suck his sour nose.
"Don't worry, eat slowly, and even if you don't have it, your uncle can continue to do it for you."
Shunichiro Tokiwa said.
Hearing this, Shogo in the mirror world froze, and then, he raised his tearful face and showed a big smile to Junichiro Tokiwa.
"Hmm."
He nodded vigorously.
But that smile always makes people feel a little sad.
Shunichiro Tokiwa doesn't know, but Tsukiyomi does.
There will be no more, and after losing to Shogo, Shogo will disappear in the mirror world.
In the future, the person who can eat his uncle's food will only be Shogo Tokiwa, and there will be no more Shogo in the mirror world......
Thinking of this, Yueyu's expression was suddenly startled.
Wait, won't it?
But how is that possible?
She looked at Mirror World Zhuangwu with astonishment, but Mirror World Zhuangwu, who was enjoying the dishes on the table wholeheartedly, was unwilling to share even a ray of sight with Yue Yu at this time.
on the dining table.
For a while, only the admiration of Shogo in the mirror world kept ringing.
"Delicious!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
High in the air above St. Central Hospital.
Time Demon God Machine.
Listening to the continuous exclamations from the mirror world from the communication connection, Shogo Tokiwa was silent for a moment, and then put down the knight's watch in his hand and took out the lunch box that his uncle had prepared for him when he came out in the morning.
"I'm moving."
Shogo Tokiwa, who opened and closed his lips and said this silently, said the same after opening the lunch box and eating the next bite of food.
"It's delicious."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
9 to 5 classes.
in the restaurant.
Even if you eat slowly, there is always a time to finish a table of dishes.
Meal.
Junichiro Tsukiwa packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
But Yue Yu reversed her previous attitude towards Mirror World Shogo and stayed.
Mirror World Shogo glanced at the moon reading, and then got up.
"Let's go out and talk."
After the words fell, Mirror World Zhuangwu took the lead out of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Tsukiyo hesitated a little, and finally chose to keep up with the photogenic world Shogo.
Passing through the hallway and out of the store, they came to the 9-to-5 outside the hall.
But as soon as he walked out of the store, Tsukiyomi suddenly heard a clock ringing in the void.
Poop!
Immediately after, Yue Yue found that he couldn't move.
Not only can't I move, but I can't even make a sound.
A silver-white clock stands straight behind Yue Yu, and the hands on the clock are all stationary, and they point to the same time as the clock is ringing.
Every struggle of Tsukiyo, who has the power of time, makes the clock hands behind her flutter.
But, that's it.
Compared to the strength of Shogo in the mirror world, the power is new, and there is no memory of the past, and the moon reading is still a little too tender.
Looking at the unbelievable Yue Yue, Mirror World Shogo smiled mockingly at her:
"Now, I say, did you misunderstand something?
"Who gave you the audacity to think that I would give you special treatment like my uncle?
"Who do you think you are?
"Or do you think you made a small gesture that I didn't notice?
"Oh, what a stupid woman.
"Now, pay for your stupidity."
Saying this, Mirror World Shogo raised his hand and slowly probed to Yueyu's neck.
"Sa, pray desperately in your heart, pray, that [I] will really give up his plan for you and come back to save you."
