The Holy Grail of Self-discipline Xiawuren

After the lazy barbecue ended, Zhongya Nakahara seemed to want to ask some questions, but I directed the butler to invite them away.

I have had enough of the salty sea breeze brought by the port company today, and I don't want to hurt my nose anymore.

I took out the air freshener and started spraying it, making sure to break down the barbecue smell and sea flavor.

"Actually, master, you can go take a shower."

Alice held a bunch of unknown blue flowers that she probably picked from a small garden, and she sincerely suggested when passing me.

"Indeed, I forgot that the hot springs are still available."

I put down the air freshener and asked the housekeeper to help me prepare a change of clothes, while I went to the hot spring to prepare first.

In fact, there are two hot springs on the top of the mountain owned by the Xiaoshan family, one is bigger and the other is smaller.

The hot spring that was artificially damaged at noon is the big one, and the small one is in the other direction of the villa, which was preserved due to the long distance.

In the steaming mist, after cleaning my body briefly, I entered the hot spring, leaned lazily on the stone standing by the spring, and waited for the butler to deliver what I requested.

The spring water, which is slightly higher than the temperature of the human body, gently wanders between my / limbs / body. It gently / soothes / comforts / the skin to relieve the fatigue of the bather.

The relaxation of the body instead revealed the tension in my heart. I felt that there was a depression in my heart that I couldn't release, which gave me an urge to destroy.

"crash"

It was the sound of the shoji door being pulled open. The butler brought my things, but he left without putting them down.

"Sir, this is your cell phone. It keeps ringing. I was worried that the other party would call you for something important, so I took it here without authorization."

He said so, and then put the black mobile phone that kept ringing on the wooden support, and the wooden support floated to my side along the water.

"Then I'll take my leave."

The butler put the clean change of clothes on the hanger and left.

But I didn't care, all my attention was on the cell phone that was ringing and stopping on the wooden tray, and there was only one thought in my mind.

'finally come. '

When it rang a third time, I pressed the on button.

"……call……"

Probably the person on the other end of the phone didn't expect the call to be connected, so the first thing I heard was the sound of the wind, the sound of leaves rubbing together.

"...Jay..."

I heard the person on the opposite side say an unfamiliar name, but I knew he was calling me.

"Enlightenment."

I responded to him.

but.

"I'm not Jay."

"It's not the Jie you're talking about, it's not the Jie you know, and it's not the Jie you want to see."

"I'm nothing more than a nameless man who has lost his memory."

This is a fact, although it is cruel, but we are not children anymore, it is time to face them.

Even if the short period of time in the college life did give me an illusion of 'it's good to continue', but the illusion is an illusion, and it can't cover up the truth.

'It's time to wake up. '

I bit the tip of my bitter tongue and exhorted myself.

"what?!"

Probably because of the delay in signal transmission, Wu couldn't understand the meaning of what I said for a while. When I was about to continue talking, his voice finally came over and interrupted my words.

"Did someone tell you something? Or did you remember something?"

When Satoru asked me like this, there was a heaviness and tension in his voice that he didn't even notice.

"No one has ever said anything to me, and I have no memories of the past."

It is true that no one has ever told me about the "I" or the things before Enlightenment. Everyone in the high school is very serious in hiding things according to Enlightenment's request, and never mention things about the past in front of me. It looks like they don't care about my amnesia at all.

Even those second-year brats tried their best to restrain their fear and anger towards "me" in front of me. Even when I beat them up, they could endure their killing intent and anger. I circle around.

They are all excellent students, they are worthy of being cultivated by Wu.

"Then why did you say these things suddenly? You even left the high school!"

Wu's nervousness was transmitted to my ears through the cold screen. I noticed his nervousness, and I felt a sense of joy/comfort in my heart.

He was waiting for my explanation, but I paused maliciously for a moment before speaking.

During this period of time, the whistling wind disappeared from the phone, and the rustling leaves also disappeared, leaving only the sound of Wu's breathing on the other end of the phone.

He is waiting for my explanation.

When I realized this, the little joy/comfort in my heart disappeared, replaced by irritability and boredom.

I think this is probably because I have been in the hot spring for too long, and my head is a little lack of oxygen.

"Wu, I have eyes and a brain, even if I lose my memory, it won't affect my ability to use them."

I say so.

Wu also listened quietly.

"...Eyes can't deceive people, do you know the way you look at me?"

"I shouldn't have taken off my sunglasses..."

I listened to his low-pitched complaints.

This used to make me laugh, but unfortunately this time I couldn't move the corners of my mouth.

"...so what? What did you see?"

Wu Wu swallowed.

"Why do you call me 'Jay'?"

"Do I and 'Jay' look alike or act alike?"

I asked him back.

"..."

Satoru was silent for a moment, then said.

"You don't look like 'Jay', strictly speaking you are 'Jay'."

"I'm not…"

"Listen, you're 'Jay', but not the Jay I know, and you're right about that."

Satoru took a deep breath.

"I knew it the first time I saw you, so I didn't regard you as a substitute for 'Jie' or anything. You are the same body of 'Jie' in a different world, another 'Jie'. Although with you The person who goes to school and does tasks with me is not 'me', but I'm sure that person is the parallel me."

"I……"

Enlightenment suddenly ran out of words after speaking for a while, and only uttered a self-proclaimed statement before falling into a brief silence.

"Wait for me to think about it, don't hang up the phone!"

He overbearingly took away my autonomy to answer the phone.

I didn't hang up the phone.

"That 'I' and you must be good friends, I'm sure of that! So it's only natural for me to be friends with you."

Wu Wu self-willedly announced that he would snatch away his best friend from the same body.

"I know that 'Jay' will not come back, and I don't have the idea of ​​'hoping that Jay can come back', because 'Jay' is dead, and I killed him with my own hands."

I opened my eyes wide.

"'Jie' is dead, killed by me."

Satoru he repeated.

"do not talk!"

I interrupted him, unable to let him continue.

But Satoru didn't listen to me.

"I buried 'Jay' in the Gojo family cemetery with my own hands, so he won't come back at all."

I suddenly couldn't detect what kind of emotion Wu had when he said this, and I couldn't see the expression on his face when he said this.

"..."

My throat is extremely dry, it makes me unable to speak smoothly.

"...Even so, I can't replace 'Jay'."

I finally tore my vocal chords and made it sound like a broken blower.

"I didn't let you replace me!"

Satoru raised his voice.

"I didn't want you to replace 'Jay'!"

"You are not a substitute for 'Jay', you are yourself, and I have never missed you!"

He said with certainty, firmness, and earnestness.

"You are you, unique you!"
