Chapter 91 The Protagonist's Twelfth Day
When Naruto and Sasuke entered the space passage and saw the scene in front of them clearly again, both of them were distracted for a moment.
They seem to be in the deep mountains, but there are traces of man-made things. They are stepping on bluestone bricks, with torii gates above their heads. Going forward, there are even houses with very weird styles. They have not used this architectural style in their own seen in the world.
There was no one around them and everything was very quiet. The two of them looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly.
"...Hey, Sasuke, are you sure you didn't open the wrong passage?" Naruto turned his back to Sasuke, observing the angle that the other party could not detect.
"Shut up." Sasuke said angrily. After thinking about it, he still suppressed the emotions in his heart and explained to the blond idiot behind him: "...At the last moment, Eiji's Flying Thunder God mark worked, and it became I got the coordinates of the space passage. Here, there must be the mark of the Flying Thunder God left by Yingsi."
As if to prove something, both of them felt two breaths approaching in their direction.
Naruto and Sasuke frowned at the same time.
They were too familiar with Hiiragi Eiji, so when they noticed the coming person's aura, they instinctively realized that they were not Hiiragi Eiji.
After a while, a white-haired man and a black-haired man with a bun stood in front of them. They were also dressed very strangely. Thinking of what Eiji had said about another world, Naruto immediately made a guess - this might be a completely different new world.
Naruto's expression contained some complicated emotions. Through the faces of the two people opposite him, he could feel that they were probably about the same age as himself and Sasuke.
But...
why are the heights and builds of these two people so different from myself and Sasuke?
At this moment, the white-haired man in sunglasses opposite spoke first, "The high school is really lively today. There are actually two..." At this point, the white-haired boy strangely stopped talking. It was also at this time, Only then did Naruto see the pale blue eyes behind the other person's sunglasses.
Standing next to him, your black-haired man obviously didn't know what he was convulsing about, "Are you talking half-heartedly?"
But the white-haired boy suddenly laughed, "Jie, I feel that in these two people, They have the same aura as Eiji. None of them have any techniques, but each body has the same source of power as Eiji." The
ball-headed boy next to him was slightly startled, and then turned to look at Naruto and Eiji. Sasuke.
At this time, Naruto completely ignored the weirdness in the other party's words - the voice was trembling in a neither light nor heavy tone.
He only noticed one key word, Yingsi.
"Do you know Eiji?" Naruto became excited, "We came from another place to-" Just
when Naruto was about to say something, the sound of a sword being unsheathed suddenly shocked him. The voice was cut off, Sasuke's Kusanagi sword was lying in front of Naruto, and the black-haired boy forcefully stopped Naruto from talking.
"...Sasuke?" Naruto turned his head and looked at Sasuke.
But Sasuke just raised his chin with a cold face, and motioned Naruto to see what the two people opposite him found, "There's something wrong with them two."
When Naruto's eyes turned to the two people opposite him again, he found out as expected. He understood what Sasuke said was wrong - both of them had smiles on their faces, but the smiles clearly had a sense of ambiguity.
The white-haired boy opposite took a step forward. He smiled and said: "He came from another place? For what? To find Yingsi? It just so happens that I also want to find Yingsi. If you know his whereabouts, can you please Are you taking me with you?"
The ball-headed boy next to him smiled and patted his shoulder, "Satoru, don't be so villainous. What if you scare the guests?"
"The landing place is correct," Sasuke said. He said to Naruto coldly, "The two of them know Eiji."
From the information revealed in the words of these two people, Sasuke immediately understood two things - first, Eiji is not here; second, they have no intentions towards Eiji. kindness.
Seeing that Naruto wanted to say something else, Sasuke glanced at him calmly and said, "Catch him and question him." He didn't waste time letting the blond fool let him use his mouth escape.
He wants to get the most information in the fastest time.
What's more, he hated the tone in which the two people opposite him mentioned Eiji.
"Quick victory." After saying this, Sasuke rushed towards Gojo Satoru.
After seeing the purple armored giant, Hiiragi Eiji was stunned for a second.
He had seen the same move from Itachi Uchiha, except Itachi's giant was red.
With this thought in mind, Hiiraeiji came to the forest at the boundary of the college and quickly formed seals with his hands. Then, thick vines carried him up into the air.
The movement of Hiiraeiji using the Wood Release was also very loud. The vibrations coming from the ground stopped the two people who were about to take action for a moment. Then, they all looked in the direction of Hiiraeisi.
It was okay not to look at it, but once they looked at it, neither of them could move.
It was only after climbing on the thick vines that Hiiraeiji saw that there was actually a battlefield below - Naruto and Xia Youjie were confronting each other.
But fortunately, the two of them were not the type to get into a fight if they disagreed. It looked like the two of them were having a conversation.
They also noticed the vines rising into the sky. They both looked up in the direction of the vines, and then - they all saw Hiiragi Eiji standing on the tallest vine.
Hiiragi clearly saw everyone's eyes suddenly widen when they saw him.
The scene suddenly became quiet for a moment, and Hiiraeiji was immediately speechless.
Now, whether it was Sasuke and Gojo Satoru floating in the air, or Naruto and Xia Youjie standing on the ground looking up at him, their movements were frozen.
Hiiraeiji's warning radar buzzed in his head at this moment.
What happened last night came to his mind again.
……No! He can control it! Taking a deep breath, he managed to stay calm, and then smiled at the four people around him.
The next second, the four people started moving almost instantly. They rushed towards Hiiragi Eiji from four different directions.
But the moment they each landed on the vines, they stopped one after another. In the end, the four of them wrapped Hiiraeiji in the middle, and no one took a step forward.
At this time, the rationality that had been dispersed after meeting Hiiraeiji slowly returned, and the four of them finally had the brains to think about the current situation.
They looked at each other, and then looked away quietly. Finally, they all looked at Hiiraeiji, looking at the light-haired boy in the middle with the same kind eyes.
"Eiji, don't you explain?"
Then Hiiragi saw them pointing at the people opposite each other, and said in unison: "Who are they!"
Hiiragi: "..."
What kind of death situation is this-!
Half an hour later, Hiiraeiji picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea with a numb expression on his face.
Beside him were four people who were deep in thought.
In the past half hour, he briefly reported his experience and gave Naruto and Sasuke some general information about the world.
These two visitors from another world were obviously not used to it. It was only at this time that they understood the meaning of Hiiragi Eiji's previous words.
'After seeing me, don't be scared by me. The two looked at Hiiragi Eiji calmly
, and it was only then that they understood what he meant - Eisi has grown up.
It was as if they were separated by time.
Yingsi hasn't seen them for six years.
...That’s why there are such guys around me.
Thinking like this, Naruto and Sasuke couldn't help but look at Gojo Satoru and Natsume Jie who were sitting opposite.
And these two people were also in deep contemplation.
Just now, they learned from Eiji that he came from another parallel world. There, he was even five or six years younger than them, but here, everything seemed to be reversed.
He came here because Gojo Satoru in another world was in trouble, and he came to save him.
A lot happened in three years. Both he and Wu have undergone many changes.
Gojo Satoru is currently a senior at Tokyo University, while Xia Youjie successfully entered the Metropolitan Police Department through the police academy and is now struggling to advance to the top in the magic world.
Although such a long time has passed, the light-haired young man sitting opposite them has not changed at all.
Xia Youjie's eyes couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. He even felt like he was in a dream, and the panic that he might wake up at any time still eroded him.
Although they understood all this, the four of them were still silent.
They would occasionally look at each other, but then look away again.
...Although I understand that with Eiji's character, this situation is normal and even expected, especially since the other party has been living in another world for six years. Naruto and Sasuke thought in silence.
Compared with the tragic ending they faced, everything at the moment could be said to be perfect, but -
thinking about this, the two couldn't help but look up at Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie sitting opposite them.
...But when the result was really in front of us, it turned out to be true! There is still no way to accept it calmly!
Obviously, Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie on the opposite side also thought so.
...Especially since there is no other Eiji in their world. So what if there is? Eiji, who was born with them, will always be the one in front of them.
But Eiji like this does not belong to their world. In that world, there are other them... Wait, there are other them?
Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie both thought of one thing. Eiji only said that he came to save Gojo Satoru who was trapped in the illusion, and did not mention Xia Youjie.
Gojo Satoru slapped the table and said to Xia Youjie: "Jay! You have completely lost! Eiji doesn't have you at all!"
As soon as he said this, he immediately met Xia Youjie's "gentle" expression. , "Satoru, shut up, can you?"
Both of them actually felt a subtle sense of unreality at this time. After all, Eiji had disappeared from their world for three years.
Recalling everything that happened in the past three years, it was difficult for the two of them to fall from the sky so quickly and calmly accept the reality in front of them.
... Xia Youjie's three years were a history of hard work, and he would never let Eiji make any mistakes in the path he had paved for him. However, Gojo Satoru's three years could be described as a history of madness recorded in history.
On the other side, Hiiraeiji was already very worried and said to Naruto and Sasuke: "...So how did you two get here?" He was puzzled as to why the landing place was a parallel world? "What should I do when I go back?"
He didn't know if there would be any problems with his teleportation. He also didn't know the comparison of the flow rates between the two worlds, but both of them were very calm about his problem.
Naruto: "Is it no problem? Sasuke can already open channels anyway."
Sasuke: "No problem. I used your Flying Thunder God mark to locate this world."
Hearing this, Hiiragi Eiji understood Naruto Why did Sasuke and Sasuke come to the parallel world?
——Because he has left the most marks of the Flying Thunder God in the parallel world.
After all, when he stayed in the parallel world, he happened to be in a state where his power was completely unlocked. He used the flying thunder god without restraint, and his mark was left everywhere in the Conjuration Academy.
After understanding how they got here, Hiiraeiji no longer panicked. He was originally worried that the two of them would not be able to return to the ninja world, but they themselves were people who came out of the ninja world. They brought the coordinates of that world with them, so they would definitely go back. Much easier than when we arrived.
"...Then, what if the flow of time is wrong?" Hiiraeiji said hesitantly.
"The Fourth War is over. There won't be any more troubles in the future. What's more, there are people in Konoha." Sasuke answered very simply.
Hiiraeiji discovered that Naruto actually thought the same way. When he found Hiiraeisi looking at him, Naruto even raised his head and smiled at him, "It doesn't matter. As Sasuke said, it's time for the five major nations to talk together. We can't participate too much even when we go back. Those are basically occasions where only the Kage from each village can get involved."
After hearing what the two said, Hiiraeiji finally let go of his worries. With him here, the flow of time should not be affected. Whatever the problem is, as long as the two of them don't worry too much about it.
Although he seems to know more about their side, such as the beginning and end of the four battles, and Sasuke's... eyes.
His left eye is no longer the black eye that Hiiraeiji was very familiar with in the past, but a purple eye with circles and circles of lines... strange eyes.
...But it doesn't matter. He is not prepared to know the whole situation immediately. They will have a lot of time later, and Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie are still here. It is not good to ask for a lot of information here. It will probably make They felt like they couldn't get a word in.
So, Hiiraeiji put away the idea of asking about other things, and instead teased Naruto: "Why are you so unconcerned? Didn't you agree to become Hokage? Is it really okay not to rush back as soon as possible?"
Hearing this, Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then muttered in a low voice: "...It can't be that fast, and," he turned his head and looked at Eiji, and said with a smile: "Of course, coming to see Eiji is the most important thing." He said Sincere and focused.
When being stared at by those blue eyes, Hiiraeiji couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, there was a muffled sound from the opposite side of Hiiraeiji, and Gojo Satoru slapped his hands heavily on the solid wood table, and he stood up.
"...I really can't stand it anymore," he slowly looked at Sasuke, who was sitting opposite him with an equally unhappy look on his face, "Hey, want to have a fight?"
He hated the atmosphere between the two of them and Eiji, and he also hated Eiji. The look in his eyes when he looked at that blond bastard made him hate the fact that he knew nothing about those two people even more.
What responded to him was Sasuke getting up. He gave Gojo Satoru a cold look and said, "Get out."
After saying that, the two of them were about to walk out, but at this moment, Naruto, who was sitting on the other side of Hiiraeiji, suddenly He spoke, "Ah, Eiji, I suddenly thought of something."
Hiiragi Eiji, who was paying attention to the movements of Sasuke and Gojo Satoru, was a little bit unconscious. His eyes had not yet taken away from the two of them. Hearing this He just responded vaguely, "What's wrong?"
"You just said that this is just a parallel world to the world you live in, right? So, are there many new friends in the place where you have been staying? In this world What's going on?"
At that moment, the entire reception room suddenly became quiet.
The two people who were about to climb out of the window stopped.
Hiiraeiji stiffly turned his gaze back to Naruto's face, and saw the blond boy looking at him seriously.
His eyes were full of tolerance, as if he was telling Hiiragi Eiji that no matter what happened, he could accept it completely.
Under such gaze, Hiiraeiji felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat. He didn't know why he felt so guilty, but it was like a survival instinct.
Especially behind him, there were three eyes piercing his back like sharp swords.
...Why, why does such a thing happen? Hiiragi Eiji thought with a blank look on his face. Why did Naruto notice such a crucial point?
"...Well, it's...in this world, there is one of my wards, and...several other people." Hiiragi Eiji said hesitantly, and the information was very vague. He still did not mention another world. .
Of course it wasn't Itachi's intention to deceive, but he felt that maybe he should try it slowly...
Naruto looked thoughtful.
But at this critical moment, Gojo Satoru suddenly spoke: "Ah, so Eiji is very familiar with me and Jie in the other world, right? Then what about your ward? If it is converted like this If so," Gojo Satoru looked around at everyone present with a calm expression, and he concluded: "Then we should at least multiply the number of people by two."
Hiiragi Eiji: "..."
Sasuke: "..."
Naruto: "... ..."
The Metropolitan Police, the Conjuring Academy, the Port Mafia...
these three keywords kept echoing in the four people's ears.
And behind every word, there are several characters who are very important to Eiji.
"So, Eiji, are you going to say hello to them next?" Naruto asked.
In fact, he still didn't know much about Yingsi's previous experience, but he roughly heard the other person mention his work in another world: he became a professional called public security, and was then sent to two places as undercover agents.
After learning about this, Naruto's first reaction was to ask him if he was in danger. After Hiiragi Eiji said that there was no difficulty, he felt a little relieved.
...It seems that the next top priority is to have a good understanding of Eiji's experience in these two worlds. Naruto planned this secretly.
After hearing Naruto's question, Hiiraei Si nodded with a straight face.
"Eiji, I also want to see what's going on in this world, why don't we go together?" Naruto said, "I also want to say thank you to your new friends."
Gojo Satoru: "..." Xia
Youjie : "..."
This guy doesn't look too smart, but everything he says is full of high emotional intelligence.
Just when Gojo Satoru wanted to say something, he was covered by Xia Youjie standing behind him, "Be quiet, Satoru. Can you stop your reverse sprinting behavior? If you really don't understand, "Natsuyou Jiepi looked at Naruto and Sasuke who were surrounding Hiiraeiji with a dead smile, "Why don't you imitate them? I don't ask you to imitate that blond brat, you can imitate the black-haired one and be a mute."
Gojo. Wu: "..."
By this time, Xia Youjie really admired these two people. They seemed to have a long history with Hiiragi. From the information obtained from the conversation between the three of them, Xia Youjie believed that the three of them had a long history. They should have grown up together.
However, after learning that Teacher Eisi had two baskets of new "friends", they did not even ask too much and did not cause any psychological pressure on Teacher Eisi.
Thinking of this, Xia Youjie couldn't help but glance at Gojo Satoru, who was still trying to struggle.
...Isn’t this three levels higher than this stupid white-haired man who exposed Teacher Eiji’s social circle?
Xia Youjie believed that he was currently in such a passive situation because he was dragged down by Gojo Satoru.
"Can you use your smart head to carefully study the behavior of those two people, Wu?" Xia Youjie said. If the two of them didn't belong to the same camp, he would really like to cut ties with this guy right away.
Gojo Satoru: "...???" As the strongest, he never thought that one day he would be in such a situation.
"...So, is Eiji's ward the one we're looking for first?" Naruto whispered close to Sasuke, "Aren't wards just adopted children?" Why is it so difficult to say?
This represents a signal that the weight of this ward should not be light.
"I always feel it's a bit strange," Naruto scratched his face, "Why does Eiji even have an adopted son?"
Sasuke's expression was also disgusting. But then I thought about it, he was just an adopted son, so it wasn’t unacceptable. Maybe he could teach the other person something.
At this time, neither Sasuke nor Naruto had any other ideas.
After all, in their minds, this person is probably very young enough to allow Eiji to become a guardian. No matter how they think of him, he is just a child.
The faces of Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie who knew about it were a bit dark. No matter how long it took, they really didn't like the guy named Dazai Osamu.
At this time, Hiiraeiji took Gojo Satoru's mobile phone and dialed Osamu Dazai's number.
The call was picked up almost instantly, but there was no sound.
Hiiraeiji waited for two seconds, and then hesitantly said: "...Dazai?" After calling out his name, Hiiraeiji touched the tip of his nose with some guilt. He thought of his sudden departure. For a moment, my heart was filled with guilt, "It's me, I'm sorry, but... I'm back." The
breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly became rapid, "Am I dreaming? Where are you?"
Hiiragi Eiji immediately said: "It's not a dream, it's true. I'm in the Conjuring College."
Just when Hiiraeiji was about to say that I'll go find you right now, Osamu Dazai said directly: "Wait for me, I'll be there right away."
"Oh, oh ..." Hiiragi Si scratched his head. If Dazai Osamu wants to come over, then come over. It seems that he hasn't been to the high school yet, maybe he can come and have a look. I wonder if the chef he hired before is still there, maybe they can still have a meal here.
Just when Hiiraeiji was about to hang up the phone, Dazai Osamu suddenly interrupted him, "Don't hang up... please."
Hiiraeiji could not hang up the phone at this time, and asked Gojo Satoru to give him the phone. Ten minutes after the requisition, there was already a rustling sound coming from Dazai Osamu's side.
Until then, Naruto and Sasuke still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. They just discussed the magic of this thing called a mobile phone.
"You can actually contact other people from such a distance." Naruto said in amazement.
"You can learn the techniques here." Sasuke concluded coldly.
Ten minutes later, the five people who had arrived at the gate of the Conjuring College watched helplessly as a row of black cars stopped steadily.
Before Naruto and Sasuke could marvel again at the magical vehicle in front of them, the door of one of the limousines was pushed open from the inside.
The other party was wearing a long black windbreaker, with a bandage around his left eye, and almost all of his exposed skin was covered with bandages. He had curly black hair, and the expression on his face was unconcealable anxiety. When he was pushing After opening the car door and seeing Hiiragi Eiji standing directly in front of him, his movements froze for a moment.
Then, a light called hope suddenly gathered in his eyes. He even forgot to close the car door and rushed towards Hiiragi Eiji.
Naruto and Sasuke: "..."
They understood almost immediately that this was Hiiragi Eiji's "adopted son" in this world.
...But why does this "adopted son" seem to be about 1.8 meters tall, and even his age is completely beyond the standard?
Osamu Dazai, who was running towards Eiji, finally caught a glimpse of four people standing next to Eiji.
Needless to say, there are two annoying guys, Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru. Two of them are teenagers dressed in extremely weird clothes. They are standing next to the light-haired young man, one on the left and the other on the right. It is obvious that they have an extraordinary relationship.
The moment they saw themselves, the two of them looked at Hiiragi Eiji uncontrollably.
Naruto and Sasuke: "...adopted son?"
Osamu Dazai: "...?"
Chapter 92: The Protagonist’s Day Thirteen
Ten minutes later, everyone sat in the conference room of the Conjuration College again.
However, compared with before, this time there was Osamu Dazai.
In these ten minutes, Osamu Dazai tried hard to understand the situation in front of him. He understood that the golden hair and black hair next to Eiji came from another world.
Judging from their familiarity with each other, the three of them probably grew up together. In other words, Eiji is most likely from that world as well.
After sitting down in the reception room, Hiiraeiji was a little worried because among the five people present, only Osamu Dazai most likely knew about his resurrection from the dead.
Yes, the point is that he died, and he doesn't want the other four people to know about it now.
Therefore, even if Hiiragi Eiji received the other party's eyes full of worry and doubt, he immediately looked back with suggestive eyes.
Dazai Osamu is indeed a good man who has the same feelings as him. After receiving his signal, he immediately stopped worrying about the matter. His disguise was flawless and reliable, making Hiiraeiji almost cry.
"...So, what are we going to do tonight?" Gojo Satoru couldn't help but ask after looking around.
He was vaguely aware of a strange atmosphere, especially after Osamu Dazai came over. He found that the bandaged man looked in Eiji's direction several times, but in the end said nothing.
He was unnaturally calm.
...Or should this be called peace? Gojo Satoru turned his head and looked at Dazai Osamu, only to find that this guy was just holding a tea cup and looking at the dense mist with his eyebrows lowered.
Facing Gojo Satoru's question, Hiiraeiji felt a little headache. He originally wanted to see Osamu Dazai in this world and report to him about his safety.
...After all, when he left here, the other party seemed to know that he would die when he returned, and even reminded him specifically. It's a pity that he didn't believe it at that time. No, or rather, even if he believed it, he still had to go back.
To Hiiraeiji, it was just a short period of time, but the curly-haired boy in front of him suddenly grew older.
He was obviously a child of about 1.7 meters before, but now he is even taller than him.
Thinking of this, Hiiraeiji sighed a little.
"Eiji, why are you staring at Dazai?" Xia Youjie, who was sitting opposite Hiiragi Eiji, asked abruptly.
Hiiragi Eiji immediately withdrew his gaze.
After reacting, Hiiraeiji said: "..."
What on earth is he guilty of!
But when it comes to the arrangements for the evening -
"There is someone I want to see tonight." Hiiragi said hesitantly.
In this world, the traces he left behind are actually not too many. He had already learned about Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu from Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru.
After being promoted to fourth grade, they no longer need to stay in the Conjuring Academy, but neither of them has any plans to leave the conjuring world. Nanami Kento has even been promoted to a first-level magician.
Hiiraeiji didn't have much regret about not meeting the two of them. As long as he could master the passage to this world, he could come at any time. Then he only needed to stabilize the flow of time and the like.
...should be possible. Hiiragi Eiji thought uncertainly.
Originally, Hiiraeiji didn't plan to stay here for a long time. He planned to come here first to report that he was safe, and then go back directly. As for Naruto and Sasuke, since they are both here, Hiiraeiji will definitely take them for a walk, so they are not in a hurry for this moment.
At this moment, Dazai Osamu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "Are you going to meet your friends from the National Police Agency?"
Hearing this, Hiiraeiji nodded. He began to think carefully about one thing. When did Dazai know that he Are there any friends from the police department?
"I wish you a safe journey, Eiji." Dazai Osamu said with a smile, as if he could see his confusion. Dazai Osamu explained: "After you left, he came to the Port Mafia to look for you."
Hiiragi Eiji smiled slightly. Startled.
...Zero actually went to the Port Mafia to find him? Thinking of this, Hiiraeiji's desire to see the blond and dark skin became even stronger.
The Zero in another world is still undercover in the black organization, while the Zero here has experienced his sudden disappearance.
...No matter how you think about it, this is too unlucky!
He originally thought that he would have to face the situation of One Belt and Five to meet Rei Fukiya of this world, but who knew that Osamu Dazai's simple words helped him get out of this predicament.
Because after Osamu Dazai said this, the other four people immediately stopped responding.
Even when Hiiraeiji looked over, he said something calmly -
"Do you want to stop by for dinner? Then go."
Hiiraeiji: "..."
He was obviously so calm, but he was So uneasy!
He didn't realize one thing at all. Dazai Osamu's brief sentence just now revealed only one message - the person he met tonight was not a threat.
The four people present, even Gojo Satoru, secretly accepted this cryptic message.
"I didn't say anything to him. It's up to you, Eiji, to explain to that person." It
's very easy to make an appointment with Fangtani Rei. The other person's mobile phone number is the same as that of another world. Although the other person has The world's Rei Fukaya canceled this number shortly after graduation because he was sent on an undercover mission, but the Rei Fukaya here still works at the National Police Agency, so this number has been used ever since.
After hearing Hiirai Eiji's voice, he immediately accepted Hiirai Eiji's invitation without any consideration. Everything went incredibly smoothly.
You know, in this world, he has disappeared for three years.
But soon, Hiiraeiji no longer had the energy to dwell on this matter, because he discovered something that made him even more flustered - these five people didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. With each step he turned back three times, the five people Everyone waved to him, indicating that he could go to the appointment as he pleased.
But that’s what’s wrong!
Isn't the correct process for everyone to go back to their own homes? ! If the five of them get together... Although he doesn't know the reason, Hiiraeiji is instinctively afraid of this!
It's even scarier than when people from both sides point at each other and ask him who is facing him!
"...Um, Naruto, Sasuke, do you want to go out for a walk? This world is very peaceful, except... you may need to change your clothes. Of course, it's okay if you don't." Hiiragi tried carefully.
Unexpectedly, both of them said that they would be fine staying here, and if they wanted to go out to play in the future, they would tell them directly.
Hiiraeiji: "..."
Then he turned his attention to Dazai Osamu, "Dazai, is it okay for you to leave the Port Mafia suddenly like this? Do you have to go back too?"
In this regard, Dazai Osamu's answer was: " What's wrong, Eiji, why are you so eager to drive me away?"
Hiiraeiji: "..."
The only thing left is... Hiiragi looked at Xia Youjie and Gojo Satoru with a complicated expression.
The two men were looking at him at the same time.
Hiiragi Eiji: "..." But this is the territory of two people! How easy is it to persuade him to quit!
As if aware of his thoughts, Xia Youjie said with a smile: "What's the matter, Yingsi, why don't you go? It's getting late." After saying that, he paused and said with an embarrassed expression: "Still, there is What's the reason why the five of us can't get together?"
Hiiraeiji: "..."
Faced with such a suffocating situation, Hiiraeiji had no choice but to leave in despair.
When the sliding door of the conference room was closed, there was silence in the entire room. It was not until everyone was sure that Hiiragi Eiji had gone far that the movements of several people who seemed to have fallen into trance changed slightly.
Xia Youjie's narrow eyes calmly glanced over the three people present one by one. These three people must know more than him and Wu. He had to find a way to collect some information in the next time. .
Thinking this, he glanced at Gojo Satoru sitting next to him. This white hair is quite honest and quiet. It seems that he really listened to what he just said.
However, before he could feel relieved for two seconds, he heard Gojo Satoru suddenly say: "Hey, the five of us represent the two forces, right?"
Xia Youjie: "...?"
And the remaining three people gradually His eyes focused on Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru: "So, we need to plan his future itinerary before Eiji comes back, right?"
Dazai Osamu: "...Plan the itinerary?"
Gojo Satoru looked at Dazai Osamu with a look that was hard to explain, with an expression of indifference. Hiding his disgust, "That's which world he goes to every day! Aren't there three worlds!"
The remaining four people: "..."
Gojo Satoru was shocked, "You don't think he will definitely go back with you, do you?! "As he spoke, his pale blue eyes stared directly at Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto and Sasuke: "...?"
"...So, from the above conditions, only the person named Hiiragi Eiji is the most suitable." Hagiwara Kenji said decisively.
Ten minutes ago, Zhu Fu Jingguang received a call from Jiangu Ling. The other party hurriedly told him that he had a very important date tonight, so this month's dinner party for five people was canceled.
After Morofushi Kagemitsu informed Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, the three people who also worked at the Metropolitan Police Department bowed their heads and made a rigorous comparison through the information revealed by Furitan Rei, and finally came to the above-mentioned conclusion. conclusion.
"A person who has disappeared for three years?" Hagiwara Kenji muttered. As he spoke, he glanced at Matsuda Jinpei. After realizing that there was no unnecessary reaction to the hair loss, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned slightly after hearing the keyword three years, because Xili Qingliu also suddenly disappeared for three years.
After informing the squad leader Datehang, the other party was silent for a moment and said: "...could it be that he was cheated?"
You can't blame Datehang for thinking so, because after Hiiragi Eiji disappeared, Fukutani Rei was very worried. I worked hard to find his whereabouts for a long time, and finally even touched the territory of the Port Mafia, trying to find clues about him.
But after returning from there, his desire to find someone suddenly faded away.
Originally the other three people didn't think so, but when they thought of this world full of weird powers, the three of them suddenly couldn't sit still.
"...There is no need for close surveillance. At least Zero must be brought back to the apartment safely." Hagiwara Kenji said.
His words were unanimously approved by the other four people, and just like that, they sent Zhu Fu Jingguang to find out the location of Ling's date tonight.
"...Isn't it a bit sudden? I disappeared suddenly for three years," Hiiragi Eiji, who was sitting across from Furitani Rei, said apologetically, "Anyway, I'm sorry, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you three years ago due to some special reasons.
" Rei Fukitani heard this but didn't say anything. His gray-blue eyes were filled with many emotions. He never mentioned that he had been looking for people everywhere, and even found the port mafia at one point. .
...It’s not for any other reason, but because I feel a little inferior. What's more, he is willing to do this kind of thing himself, and there is really no need to let the person involved know about it.
This meeting was better than Hiiraeiji expected. He originally thought that the two of them would be strangers to each other, but Suitani Rei maintained the same attitude as before.
——Familiar, but not overly close.
Looking at Rei Fukoutani in front of him, Hiiraeiji couldn't help but think of the Rei in his own world.
When he goes back this time, he will bring him back.
"So, when you came back this time, did you come here specifically to say goodbye to me?" Fangtani Ling asked seriously.
Hiiragi Eiji's expression was a little tangled, "...it's a belated apology."
Rei Fukutani smiled, "It doesn't matter even if it's a belated farewell." He could sense from his words that the other party was about to continue traveling. , "But I'm very happy, because you look fine now."
Hiiragi Eiji breathed a sigh of relief.
...This is indeed what Zero would say. They are obviously two different worlds, but everyone's personalities are so similar.
With this thought in mind, Hiiraeiji took a sip of the plum wine in his cup.
"Besides, saying goodbye after three years still feels quite romantic." Fangtani Rei said softly.
Hiiraeiji suddenly raised his head and saw Rei Fukitani looking at the night scene outside the window.
As if feeling Hiiraeiji's gaze, Furitani Rei turned his gaze back, "No matter what you do in the future, I hope you will go well." "
...That's not right -! Why do you have to stay in your world for a week? Four days?! Three days to go to two worlds, is it possible to divide it into 1.5?!" Gojo Satoru looked at Uchiha Sasuke who was holding a pen and painted Thursday to Sunday in red with a speechless expression.
In the conference room, the fight over Yingsi's itinerary has entered into a fierce battle.
It has to be said that Gojo Satoru has a unique advantage in conquering fire.
Initially, none of the other four people wanted to talk to him, and Xia Youjie felt even more desperate about his mentally retarded behavior.
He really shook the white-haired man by his collar and asked him where he got the confidence to think that their world could compete with the other two worlds.
But Gojo Satoru was so confident and justified, and circled Monday to Wednesday on the paper with a purple marker.
"...Well, forget it, although it doesn't take up the weekend, it's quite reasonable, right? We magicians don't have any weekends, so it's an advantage for you. You can choose the weekend yourself. One day in the world should be fine. Right? What about the rest? How do you plan Thursday and Friday?"
Naruto and Sasuke: "?"
Dazai Osamu: "?"
Just when Gojo Satoru wanted to take a photo and called Hiiragi Eiji who was holding a spare mobile phone to inform him At this great event, Sasuke finally couldn't sit still.
He snatched the paper from Gojo Satoru's hand and directly vetoed Gojo Satoru's allocation, doing the above behavior.
When Gojo Satoru looked at Sasuke with that "are you too greedy" look, this cold-faced guy's expression was almost unbearable.
Just when the two were about to fight, Dazai Osamu spoke up: "Sasuke-kun, Eiji has been in your world for a long enough time, right?" He tilted his head and looked at Sasuke, "And, over there It doesn’t seem very peaceful.” He said with a hint of meaning.
"So?" After Gojo Satoru's baptism, Sasuke threw out these two words.
"So, shouldn't it be the world where you spend the least time, and you need to allocate more time? This is more fair and reasonable."
Sasuke was almost angry at this fairness and reasonableness.
But Dazai Osamu did not continue to look at him. Instead, he looked at Gojo Satoru and Natsu Youjie. "If Eiji stays in this world, I have no problem with it no matter where he stays."
Natsuyou Jiepi smiled but didn't smile. He said: "So what you are saying is, should Eiji stay in the High School or in your port mafia? We both have our own abilities?"
Dazai Osamu smiled and said nothing.
In this way, except for Naruto, the four people started arguing.
But as we all know, in this kind of thing, whichever side has no lower limit has the upper hand, and Gojo Satoru is such a guy, and the mute suffers the most. Sasuke was retreating steadily under the joint attacks of the three, and his right eye was about to turn into a Sharingan when he was so angry. At this moment, Naruto spoke carefully.
"...Well, although I can understand this kind of behavior," he scratched his face, "shouldn't this be Eisi's own business? Even if we make the decision for him here, it is not Eisi's own business. Will. Sure enough, this kind of thing still depends on Eisi's own decision, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the four people who were huddled together and scribbling on the schedule with pens were all stunned.
With a "pop" sound, the pen in Gojo Satoru's hand fell on the table.
"What's wrong?" Naruto blinked blankly, as if he didn't understand why the four people's movements seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Gojo Satoru, Xia Youjie and Sasuke: "..." Then why didn't you tell me earlier? !
Osamu Dazai: "..." He underestimated this guy.
And when the four of them sat back in silence, unlike the other three who felt that their intelligence was being despised, Gojo Satoru finally fell into a state of introspection.
He finally understood why Jay told him to be quiet and learn from Naruto.
...this blond idiot! Super scheming!
Dazai Osamu left the conference room. After ending the farcical time allocation, he stood up and walked out.
When he was staring at the night sky, there was a sudden sound of moderate footsteps behind him. Osamu Dazai looked back without any surprise, and sure enough, the black-haired boy was staring at him.
Even the footsteps were deliberately heard by the other party.
"What's the matter, Sasuke-kun?" He asked with a smile as if he wasn't surprised at all.
Sasuke is also not a person who likes to beat around the bush. He said directly: "Your attitude towards Eiji is very strange. Why?"
He vaguely felt that this man had a feeling of himself and Naruto when he treated Eiji, which was different from ordinary lost and recovered. The difference is that something more important is hidden.
This subtle feeling made Sasuke very concerned, and he had a bad suspicion in his heart - Did Eiji encounter something dangerous in another world?
Dazai Osamu looked at him in silence. After a while, he suddenly said: "Are you going back to the main world with Eiji?"
Sasuke was stunned. He still didn't understand the concept of the main world, but he still nodded. Because they will definitely follow Eiji, not to mention that he cares very much about the other world, because that is where Eiji has spent the longest time.
"You will definitely find the answer there. There is no need for me to tell you this kind of thing." With that said, he looked up at the starry sky again.
The moon only needs to hang in the night sky. He has no way to privately own the moonlight.
It is enough to know that Eiji is still alive, that is Eiji from other worlds.
Sasuke looked at him twice. He captured the unfinished meaning in Dazai Osamu's words. This guy seems to have directly classified himself as an outsider in his heart.
...Although he was very self-aware, his negative attitude made Sasuke frown slightly.
The noisy Bai Mao was too confident, but the guy in front of him was completely the opposite.
"...Is it really okay to just pick someone up like this, Satoru?" Xia Youjie said helplessly, "Have you really contacted Eiji?"
Gojo Satoru, however, seemed to be self-taught in the conference room just now. Many things happened, and he quickly looked at Xia Youjie: "In that case, Jie, why didn't you stop me when I was going out? We've almost reached our goal, right? Don't you think it's a little late now?"
Xia Youjie: " ..." There is no need to apply what you have learned.
While talking, everyone had already arrived at the door of the Yatori restaurant where Hiiragi Eiji met his old friend tonight.
Coincidentally, Eiji Hiiragi just walked out of the store, and behind him was a blond and dark-skinned man. The two of them seemed to be talking about something, with a slight smile on their faces.
"Eiji——!"
Gojo Satoru waved his hand to Hiiragi Eiji.
Just like that, the light-haired young man and the blond-haired black man looked in the direction of Gojo Satoru at the same time.
Hiiraeiji: "..."
Rei Fukiya, who was chatting with him, also instantly stopped talking.
When Hiiragi Eiji looked at Fangtani Rei again, he found that the other person's eyes were staring at him.
"...Probably, they are here to take me back." Hiiragi Eiji said dryly.
And Fangtani Rei's eyes met Bai Mao among the five people, who was the first person to call out Hiiraeiji.
After feeling the subtlety in the other person's eyes, Fangtani Rei raised his eyebrows.
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Rei, are you actually here too?"
When he turned around, Rei Fukiya discovered a group of four headed by Hagiwara Kenji.
The scene suddenly became very lively.
Jiang Guling suddenly laughed. He probably guessed the intentions of these four people.
"Eiji, since it's time to say goodbye, can you give me a hug?" Rei Fukutani whispered to Eiji Hiiragi.
Hiiraeiji blinked, a little confused, but nodded hesitantly.
So, in full view of everyone, Fukiya Rei hugged Hiiraeiji and said, "I hope you have a smooth journey in the future." After saying that, he let go of Hiiraeiji.
When leaving, he didn't even look at the group of five who heard the angrily jumping feet, fully demonstrating the leisure of an adult.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the four-person group, he heard Hagiwara Kenji exclaiming: "...Brother, this is amazing! At first, we were worried that you would lose momentum due to the small number of people, so we came here to support you. As a result, You don't have to at all!"
This black-skinned man has amazing fighting power, he can kill the five guys on the opposite side by himself!
Rei Fukitani couldn't help but laugh, "Let's go back. I'm sorry for making you worry tonight."
Hagiwara Kenji looked back at the situation on the light-haired young man's side. As expected, the other party was already surrounded by those five people. Living.
But... he turned out to be the same person he was three years ago.
Thinking this, Hagiwara Kenji subconsciously looked at Matsuda Jinpei walking beside him.
Then he realized that the man was clearly distracted.
Hagihara Kenji sighed in his heart and patted his shoulder hard.
Zhu Fu Jingguang automatically walked to Jiang Gu Ling's side and asked hesitantly: "...Is it going well?"
Jiang Gu Ling just let out a breath of turbid air, "... I'm very happy. "Although I came to say goodbye to him.
But, now that people are back, isn't everything possible?
It's like a new beginning.
