Chapter 85: The Way Back
The long time spent in the pure domain has become a cloud of smoke after returning to reality.
The biggest difference is that the rain has stopped, and the clouds have exhausted all their savings, revealing a corner of the moon.
The edges of the clouds are also dyed with a faint moonlight.
The clear light sprinkled on the earth and met with the mountain wind, soothing the pain that the mountain had suffered.
Keisuke Aoi strolls alone, looking for the power left behind by Weshiko's white umbrella from the invisible chaos.
At that time, he and Yamamori Masaaki deliberately avoided the place where Hoshino and the other survivors were, and some aftermath could not invade the defense technique he had set up in advance.
No matter how bad it is, there is still a white umbrella providing shelter, so there is no need to worry about Hoshino's safety.
Eventually, he saw a girl holding an umbrella on the observation deck halfway up Mount Osawa.
He was walking around a corner, looking over the dense forest and onto the reflectively painted road.
Along the road, I happened to see a picture on the other side.
The girl held a large umbrella with a faint white light, and stood alone on a bench on the edge of the observation deck, with her back to Keisuke Ao, overlooking the brightly lit Yuzawa in the distance.
This picture is lonely and beautiful.
It reminds me of a poem that writes about falling leaves.
But at her feet, there was still a group of twisted people, like chicken cubs protected by hens, which made Aoi Keisuke smile in his eyes.
Fujiko Hoshino suddenly turned around and looked at Keisuke Ao.
"Yo, President."
Keisuke Ao's embarrassed and weak voice made Hoshino subconsciously stop his spicy sarcasm.
"What happened?" She stepped down from her chair and put away her umbrella, her tone as flat as ever.
"Ahem......"
Keisuke Aoi walked over and looked at her, making sure that Fujiko Hoshino was not injured in the accident before smiling lightly.
"There's an unexpected guest." He said in general terms.
γ
His heart had already subconsciously answered Hoshino's question.
Hoshino was silent for a moment.
Keisuke Ao's calm and strong mentality makes people's hearts sway.
"Won?" She asked.
"Hmm......" Keisuke Aoi sighed, "I guess I lost and was spared, right?" β
Seeing that Keisuke Aoi didn't confess to her, Fujiko Hoshino pursed her lips, and simply stopped dwelling on the detailed process.
"What are going to happen to these unconscious people?"
"Send them back to Tsuru Soup."
"That's it?"
"Just let the official handle it."
Hoshino nodded when he heard thisβafter all, Sonoko Ozawa was also in this group.
Although this middle-aged woman no longer has anything to do with the people she met in her dreams, she still wants to keep Ozawa Sonoko safe.
"Oh, I just happened to go to Tsuruyu to soak in the hot springs, and this trip is really tiring."
Keisuke Aoi hammered his back and walked to the front.
The few remaining spirits lifted the bodies of the survivors and took the lead in following the guidance of the past, sending them back to the place where they had been hidden by the gods.
The dark highway soon left only Keisuke Aoi and Hoshino walking.
Hoshino Fujiko hesitated for a moment, then opened the white umbrella again, illuminating the path of the two with a faint white light.
The shadows of the two men were reflected on the asphalt road, which stretched diagonally all the way to the drainage canal.
All the way, it was very quiet.
Hoshino hid his face under the umbrella and pursed the corners of his mouth quietly, for some reason, he felt that he was enjoying the rest of his life.
"Walking like you staggered, are you deliberately pretending to be weak?"
"Oops, did the president see it?"
ββ¦β¦ Hold me. β
"Huh?"
Keisuke Aoi turned his head to see Hoshino's current expression, but was immediately pushed back by the slanted umbrella.
"Preface retracted!"
"President, I didn't hear what you were talking about."
ββ¦β¦β
So the distant journey returned to calm, and only Hoshino's heart was churning, wondering if he was still suffering from the influence of dreams, so that he subconsciously took the weak Keisuke Aoisuke next to him as Ozawa Sonoko.
When he finally arrived at Tsuruyu, Keisuke Aoi had already exhausted his physical strength, and his body that had experienced Lingqi had already exceeded the load, and he was able to walk back from the observation deck with strong support, relying on his tenacious will.
"We're here, President." He sighed heavily.
The Crane Soup was quiet, but strangely back to work, and the lights were bright everywhere, and there was no sign of the previous curse and spiritual influence.
"Hmm...... These are all prepared by you? β
"It's not." Keisuke Aoi shook his head in denial.
Hoshino was about to step into the crane soup for a moment, and then there was murder in his eyes: "Are you talking nonsense again?" β
"President, you've misunderstood me too deeply."
Seisuke smiled hard at her, and then called out the girl who was hiding in the back hall to probe her brain.
"Hanako, why did you get here?"
"Lord Qinggui~!"
Hanako No. 7274, who had already changed into a Tsuruyu yukata early in the morning, flew out from behind the door and then stabbed his head into Keisuke Ao's chest.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! The eldest sister is so scary, she grabbed my scalp and threw me to Yuzawa!
I didn't expect to come to see you~I'm so happy~"
Keisuke Aoi was hit by her and stumbled, so he almost didn't come up with a sigh of relief.
"Even if you say that, it won't give you breast enlargement."
"I hate it~ How can you say such indifferent words?"
When Keisuke Aoi silently clenched his fists, Hanako No. 7274 immediately "swished", flew three meters away from him, and knelt down obediently.
"President, can you see her?"
"Yes." Hoshino frowned slightly, letting go of Keisuke Aoi's hand, examining the strange thing that suddenly appeared.
Vaguely, she has a sense of familiarity with Hanako 7274, and it seems that she has heard her heart, but when she thinks about it carefully, she basically has no impression.
"Then let her take you to rest first."
"She?" Hoshino looked at Keisuke Aoi with both eyes, doubting his safety.
"Just think of her as a harmless hamster."
Hanako No. 7274 wanted to retort loudly, but when she saw that Keisuke Ao's fist hadn't been released, she honestly remained silent.
- Rumors, stop at the wise.
- And, Lady Qinggui, a big fool with a heart of flowers, changed to a beautiful girl in the flower season so quickly! When she goes back, she must sue the shrine maiden!
Hoshino hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Okay."
Hanako No. 7274 was just a few words of her heart, and she unexpectedly dispelled her concerns.
Hanako No. 7274 feels that Hoshino's eyes seem to be a little offended to her!
"Come with me! You stealing cat! β
"I'm the leader of Keisuke Ao."
"Nani?!" Hanako was taken aback and subconsciously said, "Sexual harassment in the workplace? β
Hoshino: "......"
She's just trying to scare the idiot!
As he followed Hanako to the entrance of the corridor, Hoshino turned his head and glanced at Keisuke Aoi, then lowered his head again.
After hesitating for a moment, she whispered to the Demon King, "Thank you, Keisuke Ao. β
She was referring to Keisuke Ao's willingness to accompany her on this dangerous journey.
Keisuke Aoi smiled happily, "Thank you too, president." β
He was referring to Hoshino taking the initiative to help him back.
Hanako shouted and muttered, "What about me? What about me? β
She was referring to herself who had traveled all the way from Tokyo!
But in the end, no one seemed to thank her.
Damn!
Some people died, but not completely......
