If there is any shining point in my personality, I feel that I have to mention the comment that everyone posted on me back then - do what you want, and don't hesitate.

It often seems a little thoughtless.

But it is also an advantage to go forward bravely, and other small problems can be ignored.

I tossed and turned in bed for half the night due to the nervousness of stepping into the magic world for the first time, and the feeling of not knowing how to explain to Jotaro and the others.

Even so, it was only before six in the morning when I woke up exhausted and could no longer fall asleep.

With a pair of dark circles under my eyes, I planned to go out for a walk and get a taste of Egypt in the early morning—but as soon as I went out, I found that the door of Jotaro's room next to me was not closed tightly, and a crack was exposed.

It's probably only two points, no, four points, no matter how low it is, it seems that I don't have enough respect for the temptation of Jotaro's body.

cough cough.

With a feeling of nervousness and anticipation, I silently pushed open the door of Jotaro's room.

I want to see if he has covered himself with the quilt.

If it is covered, I will help him lock the door well.

Yes, I just want to lock the door for him.

77

Anyway, I quietly pushed open the door of Jotaro's room, and what caught my eye was Jotaro's trench coat hanging on the hanger by the door.

I opened the door and walked in. After passing through the not-so-long corridor, I saw Jotaro's back.

He was the same as before, with an ordinary overalls vest inside his coat. If he took off our school's expensive school uniform that he personally modified, he would not be able to tell that this man is a young master who costs 2W for a pair of trousers.

Of course, as an able-bodied high school student, what I saw was not Jotaro who was sleeping and dreaming.

And the first person to see me was Polnaruff sitting across from Jotaro.

78

His face is pasted like the white-haired snow mountain monster Yukio in ancient Japanese legends. Except for the two exposed eyes and his too iconic hair, the whole face has been submerged under the white paper.

Even so, it didn't affect him, when he saw me walking in, he waved to me enthusiastically, and shouted, "Lixiang! You're awake! Come and play together!"

Although I didn't see Jotaro's sleeping face that I was thinking about.

But that's fine too.

I relaxed and hopped over to them, only to find out they were playing poker.

Yes, the members are Polnaruff, Jotaro, and Kakyoin.

The three of them were playing sticky poker.

79

The battle situation is clear at a glance.

As Polnaruff who lost the most and had his face covered all over, he was the happiest of the three.

There was a glass bowl of cherries next to Kakyoin, he didn't eat it, but played with it, so he didn't speak at this time, he blinked at me and waved his hand, saying hello.

He also had a note on his face, I guess the winner was responsible for pasting the note, so these few were pasted on his eyes in a wicked way, which caused a considerable obstacle for him to read the cards.

Jotaro was probably the only one who escaped unscathed. With a cigarette in his mouth, he glanced at me, then choked out the cigarette, stood up and opened the window of the room.

Polnaruff greeted me, "Tachika! Come on, we must put a few stickers on Jotaro's face today!"

I jolted over, pulled the chair by the table to the bed where they were playing poker, and then sat between Kakyoin and Jotaro.

Kakyoin handed the plate with cherries to me, motioning for me to take it myself, so I took one and happily followed him to lelolelo.

Jotaro turned his head to see this scene and walked over with a frown, and said to me, "Don't play with food." Then he waved the smoke that was still in front of me calmly.

80

Probably because there are a lot of people who smoke in Chaldea, so I don't really feel much about second-hand smoke.

But Jotaro's behavior still made me smile at him, and then stopped playing with Kakyoin with cherries, and sat obediently on the chair.

The game is opened again.

What they play is not complicated, it is an international style of play.

But because Jotaro is too good at memorizing cards, the other two have no chance of winning.

But after all, everyone is a stand-in messenger.

So I saw the scene where they released doubles to cheat each other.

81

The Pope was the first to attack, relying on his long attack distance, he released a joking emerald at Jotaro.

Relying on his panel father, Platinum Star unhurriedly made this move of emerald, and then threw it at Yin Zhan, who wanted to take a peek at Jotaro's card.

Yin Zhan pierced the thrown emerald with his sword, then retracted the sword, and returned to Polnaruff's back, staring at him.

The three stand-in messengers had a great time playing, but they tacitly agreed not to spread the battlefield to me, a non-stand-in messenger, and it was a normal card game for me.

And I took advantage of the chance that they didn't know that I could see the stand-in envoy fighting, threw away the cards in my hand, and won the championship without any hesitation.

I happily sealed the sides of Kakyoin's eyes, and then I couldn't do anything to Polnaruff whose face was already covered, and couldn't find a place to start.

Jotaro held my hand from behind, and then pressed the note and pasted it on the side of Polnaruff's face, and folded it horizontally on top of the note on his face, so it wouldn't look right no matter how I opened it.

Bobo actually whistled and laughed out loud.

82

I took the longest piece of paper and compared it to Jotaro's face, not knowing what to do.

Jotaro reached out and grabbed my hand, and pulled me over.

The morning sun shone with a faint blur, Jotaro sat on the edge of the bed, holding my hand.

I'm standing, he's sitting, and we have that rare scene where I'm looking down on him.

Jotaro's face is 360-degree flawless, although I know this sentence is not a compliment to the boy I like-but I can't help it.

The warm yellow light shone on his face, and I seemed to be able to see even the fur on his face.

With secret, secret thoughts like those in shoujo manga, I couldn't help but lower my head and want to count his eyelashes.

And he raised his head slightly, a gesture he would never see before.

The distance between us is getting closer and closer...

Until the eyelashes seemed to touch——

83

"Shall we go out for a walk together?"

Jotaro lowered his voice and asked.

84

I pulled out of this blurred state in an instant, blinked my eyes, then took a peek at Kakyoin and Polnaruff behind me, then turned around and nodded to Jotaro.

The two of us reached a consensus, he took my hand, and the walking posture was no different from before, but it just fell to the ground inexplicably and silently.

It seems that I am a bit of a strange person who seems to be walking on tiptoe and cautiously.

Polnaruff was still waiting for Jotaro to be pasted with a note, he smiled and asked, "Are you still okay? Tachika, don't think about pasting the note somewhere where you can't see it ——I specially found the longest one, you can see it wherever you post it!”

I held back the smile that welled up on my lips as I watched Jotaro pick up his coat smartly, and we walked out the door together.

After the sound of the door closing, Kakyoin came from inside first, 'Huh? ', and after a short while, Polnaruff and Kakyoin shouted together, "Jotaro—you actually ran away!"

Jotaro smiled, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

We ran all the way to the escape ladder, and Kakyoin and Polnaruff tore off the paper on our faces while chasing, shouting, "Don't try to run—you must put a piece of paper on your face today!" have a look!"

85

The chase ended with Jotaro pulling me up to the rooftop, and Platinum Star leading us both down the outer wall.

We fell from the 20-storey roof of the hotel without safety protection.

Facing the rising sun, like a drop of water, it fell into the pool named Egypt.

86

During the rapid fall, I said to Jotaro, "I've decided——I'm going to the Clock Tower to practice as a magician——Jotaro——I'm going to become a magician—"

Jotaro didn't say anything.

He was silent for a while, and then answered me, "If you want to go, do it, Lixiang."

Just as I expected.

So I couldn't help laughing, and said the second sentence that I had also prepared a long time ago.

87

"I like you so much—Jotaro!"

88

Wait until it hits the ground.

I walked forward with him and walked into the alley of the Egyptian morning market, surrounded by noisy noises of people's voices.

I held his hand, and as if he was not affected by anything, he held his head up and walked forward without hesitation.

Until we slowly come to the end of this path.

Leave the noisy voices behind.

Jotaro finally spoke.

"Ah."

89

Of course, after two hours, we went back to the hotel.

Jotaro was pressed onto the bed by Kakyoin, Polnaruff, and the amazing grandfather Joseph who loved his grandson and wanted to cheat him.

Abu Dudu said not to participate in their childish playful behavior, and at the same time put the note of fate into my hand openly, relying on his back to Jotaro, Jotaro couldn't see his expression and Face, motioned to me to post it.

In the eyes of everyone's expectation.

I was full of malicious snickers—ah no, I was full of grievances about being kicked out of the shelves, but I had no choice but to approach Jotaro with a note.

With a final snap, he pasted the note of fate between Jotaro's eyebrows.

90

Looking at Jotaro with the note on it, we laughed out loud.

Then Jotaro, who broke free, unceremoniously grabbed the pile of paper notes that would never have a chance to be used again, summoned Platinum Star, and forcibly played a sticky note into a game. A battle of stand-in messengers started.

As an ordinary person, I have nothing to do with myself, with an arrogant and presumptuous smile.

It wasn't until Joseph himself went into battle, gave me a post, and yelled, "I don't use a stand-in—that's not bullying!" I quickly jumped up to join Jotaro's side, and replied to him , "But I can use magic!"

91

My trip to Egypt finally ended with a happy ending.

Although the next thing we are facing is going to different countries, different places, and facing different lives——

But at least.

After all, it will not end in death or undetected disappearance.
