[Comprehensive] Young man, do you know the method of single draw?

As soon as the phone was connected, Natsume Takashi's voice came.

"Ah, it's connected! You're still here so late~"

"If I'm not here, I won't be able to answer your call." Sakuma Rin said, "What's wrong? Is there anything important to call me when you're still awake at this time?"

Natsume Takashi looked at the black eagle beside him, and said, "Black Eagle, please let me call you. I'll give him the phone first, so you can talk."

"it is good."

After a while, the person who answered the phone changed.Seeing that Black Hawk had no intention of turning into a human, Natsume Takashi directly turned on the speakerphone and put the phone on the floor in front of Black Hawk, while he turned his head and carefully browsed the computer on the desk that was blocked by the administrator [Tanaka] Taro] A paragraph of text in the reply.

"Rin, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you, long time no see." Sakuma Rin said with a smile, "Did you miss me?"

"Hmph, I haven't seen you for a few months." Hei Ying said uncomfortably, and then said in a serious tone, "Boy, quickly take me to your side, I can't get in where you are."

Sakuma Rin was surprised: "Hey, are you coming over?"

"Of course! You don't know anything about the Shaman King Contest, don't you want to ask me, why did you find that guy!"

Black Hawk looked very angry, and Sakuma Rin was a little confused.

"You didn't intend to tell me when I asked you before..."

"One moment and another, were you the same then as you are now?"

Hei Ying's rhetorical question stunned Sakuma Rin.

"What do you know?"

"All I know is that the you now are exactly the same as the one I saw the first time... What do you think I can know?"

Madara was very impatient to hear the riddle-like conversation between the two, the cat jumped onto Natsume Takashi's lap where he was sitting cross-legged, but his ears were still listening to the conversation over there.

This was obviously Hei Ying's angry words, and Sakuma Rin heard something different from it.

"Oh... I probably understand." Sakuma Rin touched his chin, "Black Eagle, that means, you are indeed the one I met in the coming future, right?"

"That's natural. However, it's a thing of the past for me." Black Eagle asked, "Want to know? If you beg me, maybe I'll tell you everything."

"...Please, tell me."

Sakuma Rin said coquettishly without hesitation.

Only then did Heiying relax with a serious expression, and said with satisfaction: "You have also received all the reminders from Yuko Ichihara, so the next thing is the last reminder I will give you."

Black Eagle mentioned Ichihara Yuko.

Sakuma Rin silently connected the information about Ichihara Yuko that he had obtained so far in his heart, and finally pieced together a complete jigsaw puzzle.

Ten years ago, Black Eagle and him became partners in the Shaman King competition.However, the past that Black Hawk has experienced is different from the present. If the one who is going to participate in the competition is him who is about to travel back now, he should be able to bring Yuko Ichihara back, and now there is an incident to be resolved in front of him. They should all disappear.

From a causal perspective, where there is a cause, there is an effect.Ichihara Yuko's bad experience was the cause, and it was the result that he went to participate in the Shaman King competition.

He glanced at Jun Xun on April [-]st, who was deep in thought.

"Black Eagle, what was the ending like at that time?"

"The ending, I don't know the ending." Black Eagle said, "However, it's a good ending."

Rin Sakuma rubbed his temples... I really wanted to wake up Kyousuke Kuze and let him use his smart head to help them think about it, but it was time for Kyousuke Kuze to rest, and Rin Sakuma didn't want to interrupt his dream.

Speaking of Kuze Kyoki, Rin Sakuma's heart suddenly moved.

Speaking of it, Kuze Hibiki's experience seems to be a reference.

For Hibiki Kuze, he went through a completely different timeline and returned to the original bifurcation point before moving forward to the line that was safe and sound.

And Ichihara Yuko also experienced a past that failed to achieve her goal, so she let Sakuma Rin return to that bifurcation point and help her walk towards the line where everything goes smoothly.

In this way, can it be said that the matter of Ichihara Yuko has actually been resolved, but because of time, Ichihara Yuko still has to be thrown off the line at the other end of time, so that Sakuma Rin and the others at the other end of time catch.

The past experienced by Black Hawk does exist, but the future they themselves have to experience still exists. That is to say, Yuko Ichihara still has to go through danger in this time period, go to the era of the Shaman King Contest, and then There was trouble there, and then asked Sakuma Rin and the others to go to where she was and pick her up.

Although that period of time has happened to Black Hawk, it still hasn’t happened to them, so they still need to go through it again, and Yuko Ichihara can come back after the experience is over.

After all, it was Ichihara Yuko who was brought back safe and sound, not Ichihara Yuko who was stopped in time before disappearing.

The process that was personally experienced by Sakuma Rin, Ichihara Yuko and others is over, and it is really over.

...Ah, my head is about to explode.

Rin Shuojian squatted on the ground covering his head, his painful appearance made Jun Xun startled on April [-]st: "Mr. Shuojian?! Are you feeling unwell?"

The flustered voice came from the phone, and Natsume Takashi could hear the outgoing voice clearly.He was also startled: "Rin?!"

Sakuma Rin waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy... However, I probably understand what happened. On April [-]st, leave the rest to me. Miss Yuko will definitely come back safe and sound. "

"Of course it's very happy to be able to do this, but are you really okay?"

"No problem. Speaking of which... Hei Ying, you want to come to the store?"

Another important reason why Hei Ying wanted to come to Junxun's store on April [-]st was that he had something to hand over to Junxun on April [-]st.

Sakuma Rin directly opened the passage from Natsume Takashi's room to the room where he and April [-]st Junxun are now, and let them walk in.

"Here, can we go together?"

Takashi Natsume hugged the cat and said.

The grotesque passage unfolded where the window was originally, and the Japanese-style room layout could be vaguely seen from the light at the other end.

On April [-], Jun Xun said, "Come on, I still welcome Mr. Shuo Jian's friends."

The computer was turned off, Natsume Takashi followed Black Hawk into the passage, and the cat teacher Madara followed behind him.One person and two monsters walked in the passage, and soon reached the other end of the passage.

A young man with odd-color pupils and glasses with short black hair sat on the cushion with a young man with red eyes and long black hair.Two cute little girls each held a teapot and poured tea into their cups.

The night is thick, and from the opened door, you can see the cherry blossom trees trembling in the night, facing the moonlight.

"welcome."

When Natsume Takashi walked out of the passage, Jun Xun smiled at him on April [-]st.

"I am the owner of this store, just call me April [-]st."

"Hi, I'm Natsume Takashi." Natsume Takashi said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you."

On April [-], Jun Xun smiled and said, "Haha, don't be cautious."

Sakuma Rin waved to him excitedly: "Come and sit here~"

The three of them took their seats, and Teacher Cat and Black Eagle also took their seats.Five people gathered in a circle, teapots and snacks were placed on the low table, Duo Lu Quan Lu and the two little girls ran to the edge porch outside the door and sat under the eaves to play games, the sound of small laughter made the quiet night There is more liveliness.

What was handed over to Jun Xun on April [-]st was a contract.

"It was given to me by the Yuko Ichihara I knew before leaving. It should have been given to you more than ten years ago...but it was stopped by Yuko Ichihara at that time, so I will give it to you now."

On April [-], Jun Xun unfolded it to take a look, and was silent for a long time.

"Miss Yuko doesn't seem to plan to stay here from the beginning." Jun Xun said on April [-], "She wants to transfer everything to me."

"Wouldn't that be like her becoming an immortal... magician?"

Rin Sakuma swallowed the word witch in time.

On April [-]st, of course Jun Xun could not have noticed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Actually, I am already like that now... But if I sign it, I will become an ordinary human being with power. "

"Isn't that a good thing," Sakuma Rin said with a naughty mouth, "It can be with Domeki..."

"Shut up you."

The grown-up and hard-hearted young man April [-]st Jun Xun has some tricks in his hands, and the next moment Rin Sakuma finds himself unable to speak.

"... woo woo woo!"

The pitiful eyes made Natsume Takashi sigh silently, and couldn't help but smile.

This scene seems familiar...

Rin, you still like to die so much.

The change of Rin Sakuma is visible to the naked eye. The moment Takashi Natsume saw him, he realized that he was different from Rin Sakuma who had embarked on a separate journey with them some time ago.

Although Natsume Takashi couldn't tell what it felt like, but he could feel that Rin Sakuma's breath had become a little strange.Even though he knew that his friend was human, Natsume Takashi felt that he was getting closer to monsters like Madara and Black Hawk anyway.

Her hair was long, tied up by a dark green ribbon and hung down in front of her left shoulder, and the active red in those familiar eyes also slightly settled, becoming captivating.

I don't know what happened to him... I always feel that my friends have grown up.

Rin Sakuma's mouth was finally freed.

"Tell me to keep my mouth shut and I'll die of loneliness. I'm the kind of person who likes to talk."

"I was told by the teacher when I transferred here." Natsume Takashi laughed.

"Huh? I don't think so. When I first met Mr. Sakujian more than ten years ago, I thought he was a man of few words."

Jun Xun's words on April [-]st surprised Natsume Takashi.

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Well, the first impression he gave people at that time was that he was indifferent, but after getting along with him, I realized that he was a very gentle person."

"Speaking of it this way, his first impression seems to be that he is a cold and serious type who is difficult to get in touch with."

Black Hawk and Madara took a look at Sakuma Rin together.

Rin Shuojian quickly stopped the two of them: "Hey, can you not talk about this topic in front of the person involved? I feel very shy!"

"Haha, that's really embarrassing." Natsume Takashi said, "Rin, I heard what you said, are you going to travel there next?"

Sakuma Rin nodded: "It should be the last part of the trip. When I come back, I... I will go home for a while, and then I should come back to continue my classes."

Taking a sip of tea full of loneliness, while looking down at the tea, Sakuma Rin heard Natsume Takashi say:

"Is it almost the third year of high school? Have you decided on your path?"

"Hmm..." Sakuma Rin smiled, "Maybe I will come to Tokyo to study in university, I want to accompany someone... So, I want to go to a place close to him."

Speaking of which, Natsume Takashi doesn't know about his body yet.

Rin Sakuma was thinking, when he heard footsteps behind him.

A pair of white and slender hands stretched out from behind, Kyoki Kuze pinched Sakuma Rin's cheek, and pinched it maliciously.

Under the cold touch, there is a sense of elasticity and firmness. The flesh on the face of the boy who is even thinner than him is not so much, and he only squeezed it a little bit.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and heard a speech that made me happy."

The gentle voice made Sakuma Rin couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand and covered his face with both hands, thinking in his heart that what he said was heard by the person concerned, and his hands were pulled away by Kyoki Kuze.

"What are you talking about?"

Kyousuke Kuze sat down beside Rin Sakuma, looking at the new people who had met for the first time in the room, he greeted with a smile.

"It's our first meeting, I'm Kyōki Kuze——Are you Natsume-kun? I heard about you from Rin."

The intimate tone showed his closeness to Sakuma Rin, and Natsume Takashi immediately had a good impression of him with his decent smile and generous attitude.

The tail of black hair is slightly curled, and the blue eyes are like the blue sky.

His warm smile made Kuze Xiangxi look very approachable, but Natsume Takashi always felt that his smile was somewhat similar to his own.

Close, but always maintain a distance, but not appear hypocritical... Probably this kind of feeling.

In other words, he probably has a "sense of the same" as himself.

But, speaking of the same...

Both Natsume Takashi and Madara recalled that voice in shock.

It turns out that what Rin Sakuma said sounded like the truth!

Natsume Takashi was dumbfounded inwardly.

"Hi Kuze-kun."

Sandwiched between the two, Sakuma Rin lowered his head and shoulders trembling.

Hibiki Kuze pulled his shoulders up.

"...What are you kidding about?"

"Hahahaha...ahhaha don't look at me, let me laugh alone," Sakuma Rin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Although I can tell the slight difference between your voices, but at first glance It really does sound like a person talking to himself."

Talk to yourself? !

Kuze Kyouxi glanced at Natsume Takashi, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Forget it...it's good to be able to tell that they are not alone.

He thought, indulged Sakuma Rin's smile.

The departure day was set for the morning of this day. I originally planned to let Kuze Kyoki take a good rest before taking him away. However, Kuze Kyouki woke up in the middle of the night and had already washed and changed his clothes. He stayed by Sakuma Rin's side without sleepiness at all. .

Tonight was the first meeting of the five of them, and the atmosphere was not tense. We spent the whole night together in a space casually, and chatted about some topics casually.

It wasn't until the birds on the branches were singing and the sky was bright that few people realized that morning had come.

Breakfast was prepared by Jun Xun on April [-]st, and Natsume Takashi was also invited to stay.

The next time is the weekend, and Natsume Takashi doesn't have any important things to do. Although he is worried that the Fujiwara couple at home will not find him when they get up, he will go home soon and don't care.

At this time, a member joined them.

"Good morning... Hey, why are there so many people?!"

Scratching his brown hair, Nurariku subconsciously walked towards the more familiar Rin Sakuma.

Nuliang Rikusheng has been able to freely transform into a human form and a monster form. At this moment, he is using the appearance of a brown-haired human boy to greet a few people he doesn't know in the room.

Madara secretly pulled the corner of Natsume Takashi's clothes with his paw, and Natsume Takashi bowed his head to listen to his whisper.

"Natsume, you never think that the voice of this kid is a bit like that of April [-]st?"

Natsume Takashi smiled silently.

"Ah... After all, there are many people with similar voices in this world, just like there are many people with similar looks."

Madara snorted and said, "Speaking of which, this store is really full of monsters, and this kid is also a half-demon."

"Forget about this kind of private matter, don't worry about it..."

Natsume Takashi helplessly rubbed the cat's chin, Madara narrowed his eyes comfortably.It got closer to Natsume Takashi, seemingly inadvertently, whispering in Natsume Takashi's ear with ease.

"Well, don't you need to care about the fact that Sakuma turned into a monster?"

In such a context where they should be chatting normally, Madara suddenly uttered an incredible statement.

Natsume Takashi caught his breath and looked at Sakuma Rin.

Sakuma Rin was tasting the dishes that Kuze Hibiki had brought, and blinked silently when he heard the words, swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth clean, and then grinned at Natsume Takashi.

"Hey... I became a vampire before I knew it, and I don't know how to tell you."

Hey what!

Natsume Takashi couldn't calm down from the shock, but because of what Rin Sakuma said, he looked at him for a while, speechless.

The author has something to say: Anyone!The next chapter... probably the next chapter will start!

By the way =v= brother gashapon current progress: 49 chapters~

Wow, today is Natsume's birthday! ! !
