Chapter 81 The Protagonist's Day Two
Seeing Gojo Satoru rushing towards him, Hiiraeiji was immediately startled. He subconsciously struggled to get up from the tatami on his elbows, trying to catch this guy.
But even though Hiiraeiji reacted so quickly, he was still unable to turn the tide. He was directly thrown to the tatami by Gojo Satoru.
Fortunately, this guy's hand was on the back of Hiirai Eiji's head, which prevented him from falling out of his sight.
A few seconds later, Hiiraeiji stretched out his hand to push Gojo Satoru, because the strength he held himself in was too great. If it weren't for Hiiraeiji's amazing physical fitness, he would have suspected that he would probably suffer a fracture.
But Hiiragi Eiji's hand was frozen in mid-air, because he felt the body of the person holding him trembling slightly.
This feeling was not very obvious, but it was difficult for Hiiraeiji to ignore. After thinking about it, he pulled Gojo Satoru with a little force and only saw his side face. However, despite this, Hiiraeiji pressed his furry head again in an instant. on the crook of his neck, pretending not to see anything.
His mind was actually in a mess. He didn't understand what the system meant by the protagonist, and he didn't know why he suddenly came to life.
His memory still lingers in Shibuya, lingering on the regret before his death.
The current situation made Hiiraeiji feel a little dazed.
The belated joy and excitement began to spread from his heart. He raised his hand, tilted his head and stared at the way it was clenched and unclenched.
...He really came to life.
He actually came back to life.
Hiiraeiji shifted his gaze back to Gojo Satoru, and he found that the white-haired man still had no follow-up action.
Recalling the scenes before his death, Hiiragi Eiji inevitably condoned his actions at the moment.
After all, he died solidly in front of him. Thinking like this, Hiiraeiji couldn't help but pat his head.
"...Before, I'm sorry," Hiiraeiji cleared his throat, "But now I'm back, Satoru."
For a long time, the guy didn't respond, but the strength of holding him became stronger, and Hiiraeisi couldn't help but sigh. After making a sound, he cautiously turned his head and glanced at Gojo Satoru's expression at this moment. However, he saw that this guy had his eyes closed, as if he was sucking a cat and refused to move away.
Hiiraeiji's originally gentle expression suddenly became numb, and he pushed the person away ruthlessly.
...Wake up, this guy!
Two minutes later, Hiiraeiji sat upright, sitting across from Gojo Satoru in this room.
He was playing with the small object in his hand. According to Gojo Satoru, it was a curse that could infinitely slow down the flow of time in a certain space. And it was precisely because of this thing that Hiiraeiji's body was completely preserved.
"...In other words, is it already the New Year?" After listening to Gojo Satoru's words, Hiiraeiji asked.
He looked down at what he was wearing at the moment, which was a white bathrobe.
…How should I put it, it’s a little unclear.
After hearing Hiiraeiji's question, Gojo Satoru nodded silently.
Hiiraeiji discovered something strange. Gojo Satoru's blue eyes had not moved away from him at all since just now. And his reaction seemed to be very slow. When Hiiragi Eiji asked a question, he would have to react for a few seconds before he would slowly answer his question by staring at him with his blue eyes.
"Eiji, what about you? What's your situation?" Suddenly, Gojo Satoru asked him.
Hiiragi Eiji was stunned for a moment, and then his face wrinkled, and the expression on his face was obviously confused.
"...I don't know either?" With that said, Hiiraeiji called out the NPC panel, but he was startled the moment he saw the panel.
The originally simple page seemed to have been suddenly upgraded, and all the arrangements became very design-like. The light screen floating in the air that only he could see gave it a sense of technology that transcended the times, but this Not what surprised Hiiraeiji the most.
What surprised him most was that his original title, Tool Man, disappeared and was replaced by... the protagonist Eiji Hiiragi.
When Eiji Hiiragi tentatively opened the character profile page as before, he once again discovered something that shocked him.
All his character information pages have been completed. That's right, originally his character information page could only see this world, but now, he found that the character information page actually showed him one by one in the order of the world.
Whether it's Naruto Sasuke, Gojo Satoru in front of him, or people from the parallel world, their character information pages are all neatly arranged.
Perhaps the surprise on Hiiragi Eiji's face was too obvious, Gojo Satoru looked at him silently for a while, and then asked: "Eiji, what are you looking at?"
Hiiragi Eiji was immediately startled, and he closed his hands behind his back. After getting on the light screen, he looked at Gojo Satoru with a very innocent expression. He blinked and said, "It's a secret."
Then he saw Gojo Satoru suddenly looked away. After a long while, he muttered: "... Cunning."
Hiiraeisi couldn't help but curl his lips. In fact, he had never seen such a childish expression in the twenty-eight-year-old Gojo Satoru. He had only seen it in him in the parallel world. However, at this moment, the two seemed to overlap. He was surprised to find that there was no sense of violation in Gojo Satoru at this stage of his childish behavior.
But soon, Gojo Satoru turned his head to look at Hiiraeiji again.
He discovered that this guy was actually staring at him in a daze from time to time. Hiiraeiji had no idea what Gojo Satoru was thinking.
After thinking about it, he continued to ask: "Then I..." He originally wanted to say the period of death, but thinking of Gojo Satoru's initial reaction, he suppressed the description and changed it to A more gentle statement: "Did anything happen here while I was away?"
Gojo Satoru's expression condensed slightly.
what happened? That's a lot going on.
"Also, why am I here?" As he spoke, Hiiragi looked around, and finally, he said with certainty: "This is the ancestral home of the Gojo family, right?" When he was in the parallel world, he used Nishiri Hariryu's I've been here several times.
Gojo Satoru asked calmly: "Otherwise? Otherwise, where do you think you should be?"
Hiiraeiji looked at Shirogane sitting opposite him, although this guy was sitting in a lazy posture and even propped up his elbows. He stood on the short square table in front of him and held up his right cheek, but Hiiraeiji faintly smelled a hint of danger in his words.
He felt his alarm radar start to go off again.
……but why?
After thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "I thought... I might have been cremated?" At this point, he paused and looked at Gojo Satoru with a complicated expression, "You are very strong, look at Aren’t I afraid even if I don’t breathe?”
Gojo Satoru: “…?”
After Hiiraeiji finished these words, the originally thin expression on Gojo Satoru’s face completely disappeared, and he raised the corners of his mouth, pale. His blue eyes were fixed on Hiiraeiji, but there was no hint of smile. He let out an unexplained sneer, as if he was angry, and there was a gloomy sense of oppression on his face, "Use it a little bit." I used some means to bring you here."
Hiiragi Eiji: "..."
Oh no! This reaction!
In the blink of an eye, Hiiraeiji changed the subject, "...Well, now that I've woken up, I want to meet other people and tell them that I...I woke up."
Hiiraeisi said something that made him stupefied. He stuttered because he couldn't help but keep the word death on his lips. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and could always replace it with a softer description every time.
However, something happened that made Hiiragi Eiji even more desperate. He suspected that he might have woken up in a wrong way, because he found that he had once again stepped into Gojo Satoru's minefield.
This guy can't even maintain that fake smile at the corner of his mouth!
"...Can't you stay here forever?" After a while, Gojo Satoru murmured in a low voice as he moved his gaze to the outside of the shoji door.
Hiiraeiji: "..."
So, when Gojo Satoru turned his eyes back again, what caught his eye was Hiiraeiji's tangled expression.
"...but I really still have a lot of things to do." Hiiraeiji whispered, looking embarrassed.
But Gojo Satoru was slightly startled after hearing Hiiraeiji's words, and then the weird atmosphere surrounding him disappeared at this moment.
Hiiraeisi saw the white hair suddenly lowered his head and grabbed the broken hair on his forehead. After a long time, he exhaled heavily. When he looked at Hiiraeisi again, his blue eyes were facing Hiiraeisi. Blinking, then blinking again, "...so I'm not dreaming?"
The flame that was burning his sanity was easily extinguished by the man in front of him.
Yingsi is really back.
Because, after hearing his willful words that were almost nonsense, even the "Hiirai Eiji" who often appeared in dreams would not be as tolerant of him as he is now.
The only person who can do this is the real Hiiragi Eiji.
However, after hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Hiiraeiji looked at him in silence for a long time, then stood up and walked out of the room.
He was sitting at the door, so he could walk to the corridor as soon as he turned around. His move made Gojo Satoru subconsciously reach out to grab him, "What are you going to do?"
Hiiraeiji's wrist was grabbed by someone, His steps paused slightly, and looking at Gojo Satoru's panicked expression, he sighed lowly and said, "I just think you're not in a good state, and I want to find someone to get you some desserts to recover."
Sugar content To help the brain function, Hiiraeiji felt that Gojo Satoru should be in need of sugar supply now.
Gojo Satoru slowly loosened his grip on Hiiraeiji's wrist. His expression was complicated and weird. He just looked up at Hiiraeiji steadily. For a long time, he couldn't suppress his laughter, and finally put his hands behind his back. Stay on the tatami. After the laughter finally stopped, the white-haired young man whispered to Hiiragi Eiji: "I want to eat daifuku, um... have one of various flavors."
When Gojo Satoru easily ate a daifuku gift bag, he It seemed that he had regained his former vitality and was doing something secretly with his cell phone. Looking at the almost evil smile on his face, Hiiragi Eiji couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
Gojo Satoru raised his head and said seriously: "Eiji wants to go out, doesn't he? I'll arrange an appointment with the students for you. We are in a dessert shop, and we will set off soon." Seeing Hiiraeiji's shocked expression, he said confidently: "They will definitely be very grateful to me!"
Hiiraeiji: "..."
I am sure he is grateful and not frightened. ? !
But after presupposing that scene in his mind, Hiiraeiji seemed to be infected by Gojo Satoru and started to be eager to give it a try.
So, just as the servant of the Gojo family was about to take Hiiraeiji to change into regular clothes, Gojo Satoru stopped him again. The guy looked at Hiiraeiji listlessly and said quietly: "...Why can't I go with you? "
Hiiraeiji was a little funny, "Because I have to change clothes. Okay, stop acting like a baby, I'll be back soon."
The servant in kimono beside him could no longer restrain the look of shock on his face, but let him An even more surprising thing happened again. I saw that the master of the house did not show any strange expression. Instead, he lay lazily on the low table, "... bang."
Servant: "..." Sure enough, he was acting coquettishly. !
Five minutes later, Hiiraeiji changed into a white shirt and black suit pants. To his surprise, the sizes fit him perfectly, as he had expected to go out wearing Gojo Satoshi's baggy clothes.
Just before Hiiragi Eiji was about to get into the low-key and luxurious black car, Gojo Satoru suddenly stopped him, "Eiji." The
excitement that could not be concealed on Hiiragi Eiji's face stopped, and he looked at the people behind him inexplicably. .
"This time," Gojo Satoru looked at him and said seriously, "just live for yourself."
There is no need to worry about other people or things. This time, he will do his best, Let this person live happily in this world.
Hiiragi Eiji was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "I will... work hard."
Although... this is also a new experience for him, and perhaps a brand new challenge, but after this In the difficult new life, he will work harder.
After arriving at the place agreed with the students, Hiiraeiji began to feel a little nervous again. On the way, Gojo Satoru had already bought a new mobile phone for him. His previous mobile phone was said to have been recycled by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Because of this, Hiiraeiji was a little worried along the way.
He felt like he had a lot to deal with. He wanted to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to meet Jinpei and the others, to meet Dazai the special agent, and to meet Chuuya the Port Mafia.
He doesn't want to give up on either the parallel world or his own world.
After all the things were piled up, Hiiraeiji felt a rare sense of hesitation.
Not to mention other things, he used Wood Release when he was in Shibuya. There is a high probability that he will not be able to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department, because he has such power but has not reported it. It is impossible for him to be trusted by the authorities again. He even suspected that he would have to go through a long series of wranglings before he could return to his normal identity.
Thinking of this, Hiiraeiji sighed quietly, what's going on... He had just come back, but he was in danger of being forced to lay off.
Moreover, before he had time to verify his physical condition at the moment, he vaguely felt that his whole body was full of strength, and the surging vitality was surging in his body. This feeling was very similar to his state in the parallel world - just like him The wood escape cells in his body were completely used by him.
It seemed like he had to find some time to do some experiments.
At this moment, he found Gojo Satoru, who was sitting by the window on the second floor, waving his hand downwards through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Hiiraeiji's body suddenly tensed up, and he asked nervously: "What, what's wrong? It's them who are here. Are you ready?"
Gojo Satoru nodded to Hiiraeiji. He maliciously asked Hiiraeiji to sit on the inner side. People walking on the street below could not see him. For this meeting, he also asked Hiiraeiji to sit on the inner side. He specially booked the dessert shop and waited for his students to come up.
Thinking of this, he said to Hiiragi Eiji with some regret: "It's a pity that the second-year students have all gone on missions. Forget it, let's wait until they come back and have another meeting!"
Hiiragi Eiji: "..." Really Aren't you afraid of being beaten? !
The wind chimes at the shop door downstairs rang, and Hiiraeiji keenly captured the sound of Japanese knotweed Hishito.
His voice was much deeper than before, and it also lacked his unique vitality. "...Why did Gojo-sensei suddenly call us here?" "
Who knows him!" Kugizaki Wild Rose said in a somewhat irritable voice. He stood up and said, "You shouldn't have come here..."
Hiiraeiji realized belatedly that this dessert shop was the same one that Gojo Satoru had brought them to before. At that time, Hiiraeiji had just returned from the parallel world.
Hiiraeiji looked at Gojo Satoru in shock, only to find Gojo Satoru looking at him with a smile on his face.
Hiiragi Eiji: "..."
Is it really okay? ! Is this guy a devil? !
There were three footsteps on the stairs, and as the sound approached, Hiiraeiji's heartbeat began to accelerate.
...How should he explain it to his students? He thought a little nervously, not only the students, but also many people were waiting for him to explain one by one in person.
Suddenly, the footsteps froze, and the man walking at the front suddenly stopped, causing the people following him to make dissatisfied sounds.
"...Hey, Knotweed, are you still going?" Kugizaki Wild Rose looked up angrily at the pink-haired boy walking in the front.
Megumi Fushiguro, who was walking at the end, also raised his head in confusion.
But at this moment, Hiroyuki Kizane suddenly made a move, and he rushed in a certain direction in an instant. The speed was so fast that the other two people thought he had discovered the curse spirit and immediately entered a fighting state.
The next second, a harsh sound was heard, which seemed to be the sharp friction between the table and the floor.
The two of them were startled and immediately strode to the second floor. However, the sight in front of them made Kugisaki Wild Rose and Fushiguro Megumi both open their eyes wide.
Hisuhito is holding a person tightly. From the perspective of the two of them, they can only see the man's slender arms waving in the air twice, and then he wraps his arms around Hisuhito's back. He was sitting on his seat, and Hisato Hiroyuki was standing in front of him. The pink-haired boy's strong body covered that person tightly.
But the heartbeats of the two students could not help but speed up. They were vaguely aware of something.
Behind Hiruhito Kugawei and the person sitting there was Satoru Gojo, who looked unhappy because he seemed to be stuck between the dining table and the floor-to-ceiling glass by the table that suddenly hit him.
The two of them looked at the scene in front of them almost speechless, especially after they heard the person being hugged by Knotweed Hisahito make a vague voice: "...Hiren, okay, it's okay, I'm here."
Then . The familiar voice made the hearts of the two people who had just arrived on the second floor beat violently. At that moment, countless emotions surged into their hearts.
Hisahito's body couldn't stop trembling, so much that Hiiraeiji began to worry that he might not be able to breathe.
Broken choked sobs kept coming out of Kizuna Hisahito's mouth. He seemed unable to say a word, and could only hold Hiiragi Eiji tightly with all his strength.
Hiiraeiji helplessly patted his back, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart... If his physical fitness hadn't been far beyond ordinary people, he suspected that his ribs might have been broken.
But at this moment, Hiiraeiji heard two hurried footsteps, and then -
two figures bumped towards him heavily.
Even Hiirai Eiji could no longer withstand such a huge force. He fell heavily to the ground under the impact of the three people's huge force.
Hiiragi Eiji: "..." Why do I always feel that this scene seems familiar?
But when he noticed that the bodies of the three children were shaking more and more, he could only stretch out his hands as much as possible and try to hold them all in his arms.
"...Don't be sad, I'm back, and I promise, this will never happen again."
The only response to him was the suppressed sobs of the three people.
At this moment, a shadow was cast above Hiiraeiji. When he looked up, he found that Gojo Satoru seemed to be joining these three people.
"...Stop!" What is this guy doing again!
Five minutes later, Hiiraeiji persuaded the three children to sit at the round table.
They all looked a little embarrassed at the moment, and everyone was sitting on their seats with red noses. Perhaps they felt that their current state was a bit embarrassing, and they were not very embarrassed to raise their heads.
However, Hiiragi Eiji was sitting opposite them, which made the three of them unable to restrain their gazes on him.
"...T-teacher, what on earth is going on?" Hisuhito asked with a thick nasal voice.
After listening to his question, Hiiraeiji tried hard to put away the confusion on his face. He said hesitantly: "...Actually, I'm not very sure, but the result is good after all."
Fushiguro Megumi was keen. Said: "Then will you leave again?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Hiiragi Eiji with burning eyes.
Of course he knew what these people were worried about. They were probably afraid that his appearance would be just a flash in the pan. To be honest... Hiiragi Eiji also had this doubt before looking at the system panel.
But after discovering that his title became the protagonist, his worries suddenly disappeared.
"Don't worry, even if I will leave, I will tell you in advance and I will come back."
However, his comfort had no effect. They seemed to be very dissatisfied with Hiiragi Eiji's answer.
Seeing that the situation was about to develop in a dangerous direction, Hiiragi hurriedly said: "Let's talk about you guys. What happened to you during my absence?" At this point, Hiiragi looked specifically at Hirohito Kozune, " Su Nuo's fingers have all disappeared. Where are the senior officials? Have they taken any new actions?"
After hearing his question, the three children all looked at Hiiragi Eiji in surprise, and then all looked at the people sitting there. Gojo Satoru was strangely quiet on the side.
"...Didn't Mr. Gojo tell you?" Kugizaki Wild Rose frowned and asked.
Hiiraeiji didn't know why, "What did you say?"
Fushiguro Megumi calmly pointed at Gojo Satoru, "The old senior management has been laid off en masse due to Gojo's violent purge."
Hiiraeiji: "...?"
Hiiraeiji: "???!!!"what's the situation? !
Is this violent purge what he meant? !
It was also at this time that Gojo Satoru, who had been watching Hiiragi Eiji in a trance, seemed to come back to his senses. He said calmly: "Because there is nothing to say." He was just walking the same path Eiji had walked.
His calm appearance was very different from his usual style. Even the three students present were shocked by his sudden steady appearance.
After the three of them came to their senses, Kugizaki Wild Rose couldn't bear it, grabbed the bear biscuit on the table and threw it at him, "Why are you so cool——!"
This stinky peacock actually dared to face Teacher Eiji in front of them. Open the screen? !
Chapter 82: The Protagonist's Third Day:
Kugizaki Rose's bear cookie attack didn't hit Gojo Satoru at all, because Hiiragi Eiji directly reached out to catch the cookie and put it on the plate with a smile.
Gojo Satoru was stunned for a moment, and then said innocently: "I didn't hide this by myself, right?"
The student trio: "..."
Oops! What should I do if I think he deserves a beating more?
When the table was filled with desserts, the atmosphere became a little heavy for a moment, and even Hiiraeiji couldn't hold his fork in his hands.
"...Did you do it on purpose?" Fushiguro Megumi looked up unbearably and asked. His blue eyes looked at Gojo Satoru, and the veins on his forehead were highlighted.
All the desserts on the table were exactly the same as what they ordered the last time they came. And it was also the day after eating the dessert that the Shibuya incident broke out.
Who would have thought that the instigator, Gojo Satoru, would also have a solemn expression facing the desserts on this table.
Two seconds later, he took the lead and brought a piece of matcha mousse to him, "...because I know that things like before won't happen again." His tone was very firm, like a promise, but also like a promise. Say to yourself.
Hiiraeiji couldn't help but show a somewhat complicated expression. He probably understood what Gojo Satoru meant. It was precisely because this dessert shop left bad memories for everyone, so he had to work hard to overcome this shadow.
...It probably means reviving the past to a certain extent, but trying to create a new future.
Thinking like this, Hiiraeiji also picked up the small cake in front of him and ate it seriously.
He is the culprit who caused everyone's shadow. Since Gojo Satoru wants to break all this, of course he will work hard to cooperate.
"...Well, it's quite delicious." After taking two bites, Hiiragi raised his head and said to the three students opposite him with a positive taste.
The three people who were originally tense relaxed their shoulders at that moment. They hesitantly picked up what they ordered last time and started eating.
"...Ah, speaking of which, I went to buy milk tea last time, so how about I make up for it?" Kugizaki Wild Rose thought of this after taking two bites.
Her tone was a little hesitant, but also revealed a seriousness. Next to her, Herito, the Japanese knotweed, couldn't help but laugh softly. Then this atmosphere seemed to be contagious to everyone else, and a few people couldn't bear it anymore. Everyone laughed.
"Why does it sound like some kind of mysterious ritual?" Hishito the knotweed complained.
But after this experience, the meaning of this table of desserts was finally not like some kind of punishment ritual, but a meal that truly made them feel delicious.
"Speaking of which, what's the situation at the top level now?" Hiiraeiji asked while eating.
Fushiguro Megumi swallowed the cake in her mouth, and then said: "People from the Metropolitan Police Department and special agents were inserted in, but people from the magic world were also mixed in. The magic world was not completely banned by official forces. They jointly settled in. Mr. Gojo just arranged the radicals and conservatives in a cemetery, and some normal people in the magic world still survived."
Hiiraeiji: "..."
Hiiraeiji is Fushiguro Hui's summary was shocking. What the hell is a cemetery?
But after thinking about it, he asked with some worry: "What about Hisuhito? I only sealed a dozen fingers in your body, what should I do with the rest?"
At this point, Gojo Satoru's expression became erratic. Averted his eyes.
On the contrary, Knotweed Hisahito said nonchalantly: "I'll eat it anyway."
Seeing Hiiraeiji's expression suddenly turned serious, he quickly explained: "It's just six fingers, it doesn't matter! There are only six fingers left. Nuo, he's not that dangerous. At least Teacher Wutiao can deal with him easily." At this point, he paused subtly, "Moreover, I can use Su Nuo's technique now, as long as I and that If the six fingers are fused deeply enough, you can completely inherit Su Nuo's technique." When he said this, his expression was complicated, and he raised his hand to grab the collar of his chest, "When I die, Su Nuo will be on both sides. It will completely disappear from this world."
"This is a good thing," said Hisahito Kizumi, "This way, I can continue to become stronger and protect more people." It will become what Teacher Eiji said, and then He will not have to ask others for help because of his own powerlessness. He only needs to rely on his own strength to accomplish everything he wants to do.
Hiiraeiji's expression softened as a result. He thought about it and finally said: "This is indeed a good inheritance."
In the end, Rangmian Sunuo still left Hisahito a good 'gift', Hiiragi Eiji finally felt at ease.
When a few people walked out of the dessert shop, the three students looked in a daze.
They all felt like they were still in a sweet dream, otherwise... how could they explain that Teacher Eiji appeared next to them again?
Perhaps this sense of unreality is too strong, making it difficult for them to relax completely.
"...Teacher, what are you going to do next?" Kizune Hisahito asked hesitantly, "When will you come back to the high school?"
This question was also what Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Wild Rose wanted to ask, and they both looked at each other. Staring at Hiiraeiji intensely.
Hiiraeiji shed tears of dissatisfaction in his heart. He really couldn't bear to tell these three children that his job would most likely be lost.
After all, in the eyes of the Metropolitan Police Department, he was a person who concealed his true abilities, and his job at the High School was obtained through the operation of the Metropolitan Police Department. Now the magic world is also considered a part of the Metropolitan Police Department. It was difficult for him to bypass the Metropolitan Police and return to the Conjuring High School.
But facing their expectant eyes, it was really difficult for Hiiraeiji to tell them the truth.
It was rare for Gojo Satoru to be considerate at this time. He directly put his arm around Eiji's shoulders and led him towards him, "Eiji's current identity information has not been updated yet. You guys, please give him a little Take some time to deal with the chores." He showed an expression that looked very inconsiderate to you.
The three of them were silent for two seconds, and then looked at Gojo Satoru with expressions that dared not speak out.
...Although I know he is telling the truth, why does this guy always have such an irritating magical power that makes people want to hit him!
"So, Eiji, until the issue of your identity is resolved, will you stay at my place?" Gojo Satoru invited Hiiragi Eiji with a bright smile.
"Huh?! Why! Can't you live in the staff dormitory of the high school? Teacher Gojo, you are the principal now, right! Teacher Eiji won't be discovered even if you live in it!" Hisahito Kugaweed was the first to question.
He doubted in his eyes what this white-haired teacher with no moral ethics wanted to do with this.
The three students immediately united their front and cast condemning glances at Gojo Satoru.
Is this guy thinking something in his mind and pretending they don't know it? Absolutely impossible!
Seeing that the teacher-student war was about to break out, Hiiragi Eiji quickly comforted him: "It's okay. In fact, it doesn't matter where I live, and I have these few days..." He paused, "I still have some other things to deal with."
At this moment, everyone's attention was instantly diverted.
Fushiguro Megumi: "...Teacher, will you come back after handling everything?"
He asked the question that everyone wanted to know the answer to.
Hiiragi Eiji solemnly nodded to them and promised: "I will. This time, I will never leave suddenly again." "
Gojo-sensei, do you know where Eiji-sensei is going next?" Ren asked worriedly.
When he saw Hiirai Eiji leaving alone, it took all his strength not to follow him.
The Shibuya incident really cast a shadow on everyone's heart.
To this day, Hisashi Hijiri doesn't want to recall the scene when he woke up and saw Gojo Satoru holding Hiiragi Eiji who had lost his breath.
His breathing suddenly became heavy for a moment, and then he turned his head away in confusion.
The remaining two students also couldn't hide the expressions on their faces.
They were also witnesses of the Shibuya incident, and they also watched helplessly as Gojo Satoru carried Mr. Eiji out of the ruins.
Under such circumstances, they really had no choice but to watch Teacher Eiji leave alone.
...At the very least, we must at least send him to his destination, and then take him back to the High School after he has taken care of everything.
Gojo Satoru, however, just looked at the direction he left thoughtfully. He roughly guessed where Hiiraeiji was going.
This is very close to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Thinking like this, he looked back at the students and said, "This is what you asked for."
Hiiragi almost ran towards the Metropolitan Police Department at first.
After coming out of the dessert shop, the sky had completely darkened.
The nights in January are so long.
After all, he had been away from this world for two and a half months, and he could hardly restrain his excitement at the moment.
On the way, he tried to condense chakra, and as expected, he could now use chakra at will.
And his system... the system should be there, right? Hiiragi Eiji has long been accustomed to the system he partners with being so taciturn.
After all, if he didn't call his system in his heart, the system wouldn't be able to hear his heartbeat at all. Thinking like this, Hiiraeiji tentatively called the system in his heart.
"What exactly is the so-called protagonist..." What does that mean?
The next second, he heard the familiar voice of the system, and its appearance made Hiiraeisi slightly relieved. The system did not leave.
"You are the center of the world." The system replied, maintaining its usual indifferent attitude.
But this answer shocked Hiiraeiji quite a bit, and he even couldn't accept such a description for a while. You know, he has been working hard as a toolman for so long! A sudden change or something...
But thinking about this, he felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal. He just needs to live as usual. Whether he is the protagonist or the tool, there seems to be... no obvious difference, because his core has long been fixed, and what matters is always his behavior and choices in this world. Rather than the so-called title.
Thinking of this, Hiiraeiji's mood suddenly brightened and he became relaxed again.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "The illusion I had before... before I died, was the system made by you, right?"
He thought of that light door again, and little Naruto and little Sasuke behind that light door. . At that time, he had already lost his energy, let alone seeing such a realistic illusion. The system also injected life energy into him before he was about to run out of strength, so that he would no longer have to leave with regrets like in the ninja world.
Thinking of his classmate who was always cold but helped him at critical moments, Hiiraeiji couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
As he expected, the system did not answer his question. And he has long been accustomed to the cold demeanor on the other side.
But suddenly, he heard the sound of the system again.
"That's just a trivial gift."
Hiiraeiji could no longer restrain the smile on his face. "Thank you for accompanying me all the way. Please give me more advice in the future."
Hiiraeiji arrived at the door of the Metropolitan Police Department. This time happened to be the time to get off work, and he saw people constantly leaving the office building of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Thinking of his current identity, Hiiraeiji stood in a dark alley in a panic.
His heart was beating fast, and he began to think about how to explain his situation to them.
He couldn't walk in rashly like this. It would be troublesome if he alerted the higher-ups at this moment. To be honest, he didn't really want to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department because his status as a police officer restricted him too much.
His future goals are very clear, and he has already planned his next trip along the way.
He is going to find Osamu Dazai in the Special Agent Division, he is going to the Port Mafia, and he is going to give Mori Ogai a disrespectful "little gift". He is going to find the "book" hidden in this world. Perhaps, he is not only going to You can use this "book" to travel to parallel worlds, and even return to the ninja world.
Just thinking about it made Hiiraeiji feel full of energy. After meeting his three students, he felt that the anxiety and nervousness in his heart about facing his old friends had dissipated a lot. He felt that he was fully capable of executing the above plan.
As for his identity, he can only ask Satoru for help.
Thinking of this, Hiiraeiji took a deep breath, and then entered Matsuda Jinpei's mobile phone number on the keyboard.
Hagiwara Kenji hesitated several times, but finally did not knock on the wooden door of Matsuda Jinpei's office.
Everyone else had already left, leaving only Matsuda Jinpei sitting in the empty office, focusing on the computer screen.
In the most conspicuous place beside his hand, there was a pair of sunglasses. That was a gift from Eiji to him.
Through the open door of the office, Hagiwara Kenji felt a pain in his heart while he wanted to sigh.
He didn't know whether Matsuda Jinpei was torturing himself or missing that old friend. Maybe both.
But every time Hagiwara Kenji saw those sunglasses and Matsuda Jinpei working so hard, he couldn't help but want to look away.
Just looking at it like this made him a little unbearable.
What also came to his mind was a conversation he had with Matsuda Jinpei not long ago.
No one took the initiative to mention Eiji's matter, which seemed to have become a minefield for the two of them to avoid talking about. But that day, perhaps because the emotions had been accumulated in his heart for too long, Matsuda Jinpei finally couldn't hold on, just two glasses of wine. After drinking it, he was like a drunk person, sitting at the dining table and mumbling to himself: "...but I don't know what I should do to prevent myself from being in such pain. As long as I take some time off - —" At this point, he stopped talking.
But Hagiwara Kenji tacitly answered the follow-up words for him.
...As long as I have some free time, I will continue to recall everything in the past.
But soon, the fragile expression on Matsuda Jinpei's face disappeared, and he became his usual self again, skipping the topic just now.
...How come it has become like this? Hagiwara Kenji pulled away from his memories, looked at Matsuda Jinpei's back and sighed heavily.
But he couldn't tell the opponent, so he might as well look forward and don't look back. He couldn't say such false words at all. Even he couldn't do it.
After all, whoever made Eiji leave such a deep mark in everyone's hearts is someone who cannot be forgotten.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze again and looked in another direction. He knew that Zhufu Jingguang must also be sitting in his office, doing the same thing as Matsuda Jinpei.
... Yingsi, you really need to come back and see these guys. He was completely overwhelmed by himself, but there was really nothing he could do against them.
Hagiwara Kenji knew that Rei Fukutani, who was undercover on the other side, might be in worse condition than the two of them, but he was really beyond his reach.
But... there was always something he needed to do. With this in mind, Hagiwara Kenji directly grabbed Morofushi Kagemitsu from another office and led him to Matsuda Jinpei's office.
"Okay, Xiao Jinpei, it's time to get off work now. Listen to me, you two have worked overtime enough times this week. Let's start your work a little earlier today."
Matsuda Jinpei typed on the keyboard He paused with his hands, and then said without looking back: "...I haven't finished handling the matter at hand yet."
After hearing Matsuda Jinpei's answer, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had unobvious blue and dark circles under his eyes, also silently raised his hand. He raised his hand and said, "Me too."
Hagihara Kenji couldn't bear it: "You are the same, you are the same! You two should be normal! I don't want anything to happen to you because of overtime work!"
Matsuda Jinpei didn't say anything until this moment. Turning around, he looked at Hagiwara Kenji, who was obviously a little angry, and gently raised the corner of his mouth, "How is it possible? To this extent -"
At this moment, Matsuda Jinpei's cell phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, frowned when he saw the unfamiliar number on it, and then picked it up, "Hello, this is Matsuda."
Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but say to Matsuda Jinpei on the phone. Something, so he turned all his attention to Zhu Fu Jingguang. Just when he was about to seriously ask him to pay attention to his body, he heard a loud noise from behind him.
I saw Jinpei Matsuda standing there with one hand holding the edge of the desk, and behind him was the office chair that was knocked down by his sudden movement.
Hagiwara Kenji and Morofushi Kagemitsu were stunned for a moment, and then the expressions on their faces changed. Their hearts began to speed up. After experiencing the Shibuya incident, they would instinctively assume everything in a bad direction. .
Because they have already experienced the most desperate things.
...Now, what exactly is going to happen?
Something happened that made their hearts sink to the bottom. They watched as Matsuda Jinpei's hand holding the phone began to tremble. From the side of his face, they all saw Matsuda Jinpei's eyes suddenly turned red. .
"...Where are you!" Matsuda Jinpei's voice suddenly sounded with obvious choking. His tone was very anxious, with a sense of panic at a loss.
Then, without knowing what was said over there, Hagiwara Kenji and Morofushi Kagemitsu saw Matsuda Jinpei rushing out of the office with his cell phone in hand. He was running as fast as chasing a prisoner on the street, almost in the blink of an eye. He had already run far away.
At this time, both Hagiwara Kenji and Zhufushi Jingguang returned to their senses, and they started chasing him almost at the same time.
Following Matsuda Jinpei, both of them were confused. They didn't know what happened to make Matsuda Jinpei lose his temper like this.
But when Hagiwara Kenji and Morofushi Kagemitsu chased Matsuda Jinpei to the parking lot not far from the Metropolitan Police Department, they finally understood the reason why Matsuda Jinpei was so rude.
Under the dim light, in the empty parking lot, stood a young man with light hair who also put his mobile phone to his ear.
He appeared before them just as they remembered him.
His expression was so real, full of guilt and uneasiness, and his amber eyes were as clear and bright as ever, looking quietly in the direction where they were.
"...Am I dreaming?" Hagihara Kenji said in a daze. He felt that his racing brain seemed to have caused him to fall into a hallucination due to lack of oxygen.
But it was obviously just such a scene, but the scene in front of Hagiwara Kenji suddenly blurred.
Matsuda Jinpei, who arrived one step ahead of him, rushed forward and hugged the man. Without slowing down at all, he forced the man to take two steps back before he could stabilize his body. As a result, the entire parking lot echoed with Matsuda Jinpei's choking voice, "What's going on! What's going on! Damn it, why are you always like this!"
And Morofushi Kagemitsu, who was standing next to Hagiwara Kenji, At this moment, it had blown past him like a gust of wind. When Hagihara Kenji came to his senses, he also ran over.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, as everyone hugged the person in the middle with all their strength, and the parking lot was filled with the sounds of them crying and laughing.
Hiiraeiji was very lucky that he chose the location in this sparsely populated place, otherwise these three people might have lost face.
But when he smiled and hugged Matsuda Jinpei hard, he felt a chill on his face.
He sniffed hard.
...Okay, this place also saved some face for himself.
I don't know how long it took, but Hiiraeiji finally spoke cautiously. He said: "...Um, do we still want to maintain this posture?" The
four of them huddled together, and occasionally pedestrians passing by would cast a glance at them. Get a shocked look.
"...What? Do you have any dissatisfaction?" Matsuda Jinpei's voice sounded with a strong nasal tone.
Hiiraeiji understood immediately.
...Probably because I don’t want him to see such an embarrassing side.
With this thought in mind, Hiiraeiji once again gently put his arm on Matsuda Jinpei's back and patted him comfortingly.
...Then he was hugged tighter.
Hiiragi Eiji: "..."
After a while, a strange sound of "Gululu" sounded, and the scene suddenly became silent. Then, several people could no longer maintain their current postures, and they all laughed and let go of their hands. .
Only Matsuda Jinpei was left looking at the three of them angrily, "...I just forgot to eat lunch and didn't have time to eat at night!" It was
also at this moment that they saw each other's current state clearly. The tips of their noses were all red, and under the illumination of the street lights, from certain angles, one could see the glimmer of light in the eyes of the four of them.
"Then let's go eat." Hiiraeiji said with a smile, "There happens to be a very good Okonomiyaki restaurant nearby."
As if he knew what they wanted to know most, Hiiraeiji immediately added: "It's just the right time to tell you about this time. Things."
In this way, the four people started to head towards the store that Hiiraeiji mentioned. Along the way, several people were a little silent. Hiiraeiji was thinking about how to explain his situation to them next, and the remaining three It is like being in a dreamlike trance.
Every few dozen seconds, they couldn't stop looking at Hiiraeiji, as if they were worried that he would disappear in the next second.
And this situation finally improved when they arrived at the door of the Okonomiyaki restaurant.
Morofushi Kagemitsu and Hagihara Kenji were the first to push open the door and walk in. Hagihara Kenji subconsciously wanted to hold the door that was about to close for the two people behind him, but after seeing the appearance of the two people behind him, he simply retracted his hand and let it go. The store door closes automatically.
He saw Matsuda Jinpei stopped in place, and grabbed Hiiraeiji's wrist to make him stop too.
"Ei, you are really back, right?" Matsuda Jinpei's voice still had a hint of hoarseness, and he looked at Hiiragi Eiji with such focused and solemn eyes.
Hiiraeiji was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "There will never be a next time."
After hearing his answer, Matsuda Jinpei's tense expression suddenly relaxed, but he suddenly took a deep breath, as if he was brewing some emotion, and as if he was preparing for what he was going to say next. words to pave the way.
Until now, there was no option to apply the brakes in his world. The more dangerous the moment, the more he had to use maximum horsepower to pass.
But he missed time and time again when it came to Hiiraeiji, and stopped moving forward again and again.
Although it was a little inappropriate under the circumstances, he didn't want to wait any longer. He had missed too many opportunities, but he wanted to tell Hiiragi everything.
"Actually, I've always been treating you like-"
