Keisuke Aoi and Shiraishi staggered by, and although they didn't communicate, just the sight of their eyes was enough to satisfy them, as if this trip was for this.

I wonder if Shiraishi has such a sense?

Keisuke Aoi felt a mysterious power suddenly swim through his body, and finally into his heart and turn into heat, and once again spread with blood to every capillary in his body.

Yes...... It was a sense of happiness like a full stomach, and Keisuke Aoi inhaled deeply, feeling the spiritual exuberance of his whole body, and leaping towards a higher level.

Then he started running as hard as he could.

The sun gradually rises from the tall buildings in the distance, and the top of the tall buildings is gradually wrapped in golden yellow, like tempura that has been fried to a golden crisp, and the fragrance is exuding from afar.

The clouds over Tokyo today are particularly thick and layered, and as the wind moves sideways from above, it looks like rain is likely to fall in the afternoon.

Aokeisuke ran until he was close to ten kilometers from Kawawaso, and in front of him was a slender riverbank, with a turquoise stream, shallow and gentle flowing into the distance.

Beside him, a few children on bicycles rushed over, shouting that they were going to catch the unicorn.

They stopped at the convenience store across the bridge to stock up on snacks for their adventures with holiday change, owned by an elderly lady wearing a pair of reading glasses and sending the kids to the door of the store to remind them that it might rain today.

When the old shopkeeper looked back and saw Aoi Keisuke, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and beckoned to him, motioning for him to come over.

By the time Keisuke Aoi walked across the short bridge and came to the door of the convenience store, the old lady had already taken a bottle of water and walked out again.

She smiled kindly: "It's the first time I've seen a young man running this way, so I'll give you this bottle of water, look at this sweat." ”

Keisuke Aoi hesitated for a moment, then took the water.

"Thank you."

"Where did you come from?"

"Shinjuku." Keisuke Aoi added the approximate location of the apartment.

"Oops? It's a long way from there! Even if it's by train, it's going to take a long time to get there! ”

"I'm in a good mood today, and I've run a little farther."

Keisuke Aoi sat down on a bench in front of the convenience store and drank half a bottle of water in one go.

"Young people nowadays are really amazing, are they insisting on drinking milk?"

"Hmm...... It's not all, you should eat more meat and exercise more. ”

"What kind of meat are you eating?"

"Beef, huh?" Keisuke Aoi replied uncertainly.

"yes, it's supposed to be beef, the neon people have always eaten fish, and they haven't seen much stronger."

He was chatting with the long-time owner of the convenience store when the rain that had been expected to arrive in the afternoon suddenly fell before the summer heat arrived.

"Wow-"

The raindrops the size of beans hit the awning, shattered at once, and slid down the tarpaulin.

The elementary school student who was about to catch the unicorn fairy just now rushed over from the other direction on his bicycle, and his mouth let out a strange whimper.

"Slow down! You come here first to hide from the rain! ”

"No need, Granny Asai, we're going to play games at Sekiya's house!"

"Then ride slower!"

Before she finished speaking, she and Keisuke Aoi couldn't even see the rear tire of the bike.

"Today's young people are really good at driving." Keisuke Aoi stood up and moved his body, ready to set off again before the temperature cooled down.

"It's easy to catch a cold when it's raining." Asai said. m.

"If you don't stop, you won't." Aoi Keisuke said goodbye to the aging shopkeeper and thanked her for her small kindness.

He ran into the rain curtain, and the rain fell on him, giving him only a pleasant feeling.

Aokeisuke could feel that his spirituality had improved dramatically again, as if it was an "epiphany", and his mind had broken through the existing shackles and gained a broader freedom and power.

- He seems to have a better understanding of what "people" are.

Before desecrating the good customs and righteousness that have been passed down for thousands of years, he must first understand it, and understand the weight of these principles in their hearts. It suddenly occurred to Keisuke Ao, who was trying to break the rules, if he was still a real "human", or was he just a monster in human skin?

“……”

At the intersection of the road about to run back to the apartment, he suddenly stopped and reached out to cover his mouth, but the laughter flowed uncontrollably from his fingers, and he thought of the answer to the question.

Maybe it's the answer.

On the deserted street, Keisuke Aoi began to seriously dissect the nature of himself for the first time -

Neither a man nor a monster matter, the only thing that must be carried out is his will and ambition!

It doesn't hurt to say that it is vile greed, that it is shameless against morality!

At this moment, a force gathered in his hand, and finally this mysterious power turned into a pitch-black stone sword that symbolized authority.

It is said to be a stone sword, but it is actually more like a black gem, about fifty centimeters long, and every edge and corner of the gauntlet and the blade of the sword emits a gorgeous and noble black light.

The morning rain that envelops Tokyo is a testament to this.

……

Keisuke Aoi returns to the apartment building, which is supposed to be the time for the housewives to hang out, but it turns out that the building is empty because of the heavy rain.

He simply cut off the rainwater, dried his body and clothes with spiritual steam, flew directly from the outer wall to the balcony of his apartment, and returned to the apartment.

The miraculous black sword that appeared out of thin air was turned into a part of the spirit and collected into his body by him with a lot of effort, and he did not choose to place it in the pure domain of Hanako No. 1.

This also shows the importance he attaches to this sword.

Taking the elevator back to the apartment, his fully charged mobile phone received a message from Chizuru Shiraishi and a few missed calls, asking if he wanted to take shelter from the rain in Kawaiwaso.

It was more than half an hour ago when he received the message, and Keisuke Aoi simply replied that he had arrived home, while looking for a change of clothes and preparing to take a hot bath.

In addition to Chizuru Shiraishi, there are also dozens of messages accumulated by Yuto Nakagawa early in the morning - he happened to see Hirra-chan's song back last night, so XP has a tendency to change his ways, and his love at first is very fanatical.

Keisuke Aoi directly ignored his news and looked at the next one.

Fujiko Hoshino:

The eldest lady was worried that Keisuke Aoi shouldn't slap the door, so she would tear down the door directly.

Keisuke Aoi:

Hoshino's reply was quick, unexpectedly giving Keisuke Aoi the feeling that she was very irritable.

But if you can attribute the matter of going home to "work" and "obligation", it is enough to explain the problem, right?

He replied with a look of admiration, and took a photo to share the size of his bathtub with the club members, so as to make Fujiko Hoshino, who was about to go home, feel even more unhappy.

At the end of the morning check, Arisugawa shared with him a fragment of a chapter from a book he had been reading recently.

Sei Keisuke soaked in the water, looking at the text in the picture, the heroine's confession to the hero, and the more valuable self-esteem and dignity after dissecting the heart of admiration.

For a long time, it was not until he was ready to get up that he replied to Arisuchuan:

Some people died, but not completely......
