Those years when I was looking for my father in Yokohama

After distributing the task of finding someone, Wu Yan relaxed.

Nuliang Huapiao has already left to find the monsters under his command, so he doesn't need to run around the world to inquire about it, and just ask Nuliang Huapiao for the result.

The hot springs can't be soaked for too long, and after Nuliang Yuyao left, Oda Sakunosuke urged them to go back to rest.

It was already dark outside, and according to Oda Sakunosuke, it was time to sleep.

Children who stay up late will not grow taller.

Wu Yan complied with kindness and waved her hands to ask the owner of Yao の Tang House to prepare two rooms for them.

Oda Sakunosuke took Yuanyi into one of the rooms, while Wu Yan and Saiki Kusuo went into the next room.

After arriving at the room and closing the shoji door, Wu Yan casually added a sound-proof barrier, and then excitedly called Saiki Kusuo over: "Xiao Kusu, come quickly, let's have snacks together!"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and instantly a bunch of colorful snacks slid down on the floor.

Saiki Kusuo: [I thought you were going to do something... it turned out to be just snacks? 】

Wu Yan, who hadn't received Qi Mu Kusuo's slander at all, had already opened a bag of potato chips: "I haven't eaten these, they are delicious!"

The salty, crispy and delicious taste makes Wu Yan, who is used to eating sweets, feel that the salty taste is also good, and they are all delicious.

Wu Yan handed the potato chips to Saiki Kusuo: "Come and taste it, I think it tastes good, there is coffee jelly here—"

Saiki Kusuo walked in decisively and joined him: "I'll try it."

The next few moments are pleasant snack time.

Wu Yan had no restraint in eating snacks. In the end, Saiki Kusuo stopped the other party from eating non-stop, and reminded: "Ordinary people don't eat all the time."

"I know you are not an ordinary person, but in front of other people, you'd better disguise yourself as an ordinary person."

People's hearts are complicated, and they cannot stand the test.

It's okay to be mistaken for a person with supernatural abilities by others, but if the news that Wu Yan is not a human being is known, Mori Ogai can trap him into enemies on all sides in a matter of minutes.

Saiki Kusuo didn't expect to see the blackened demon king saying that he was going to destroy the world.

【I have saved enough of the world! ! ! 】

Wu Yan thought for a while, and immediately understood Saiki Kusuo's concerns, and said happily: "Is Xiao Nan worried about me? Super happy!"

"No." Saiki Kusuo said blankly, "I'm worried about the world."

After all, from the future he has seen, the Demon King is much stronger than the world.

(World: This is really a sad fact QAQ Storm Cries.jpg)

Wu Yan was choked by his answer.

But think about it from another angle, he is more worried about the world than he is, but Xiao Nan is actually praising him for being amazing.

Thinking of this, Wu Yan was happy again.

"I understand, Xiao Nan doesn't need to worry about me." Unwrapping a lollipop, Wu Yan was extremely confident: "My human form is perfect, and I won't be seen as inhuman."

"I know that." After all, with his clairvoyance ability, the demon king in front of him was a complete human figure instead of a skeleton.

Although this can save him from the trouble of looking away for a few seconds, it is enough to prove that Wu Yan's appearance is deceptive.

At least with ordinary means, it is impossible to see that there is something wrong with the opponent's body.

but--

Saiki Kusuo: "Yuanyi sees that you are not human anymore."

Wu Yan bit the candy for a moment.

[So overconfidence is undesirable. 】

"So it wasn't my illusion at that time." Wu Yan showed a dazed look as if confirming something.

"Okay, I retract my preface." He bit the lollipop, and said in a vague tone, "That kid is quite powerful in a certain way."

But that's it. The gap between him and the little ghost is more than that.

【Your thinking is getting more and more villainous. 】

After complaining, suddenly thought of something, Saiki Kusuo raised his head and asked, "Did you pay?"

"Huh?" Wu Yan tilted her head to look at him.

Saiki Kusuo calmly explained: "We go to the hot springs and pay for the accommodation."

"Of course—" Wu Yan took the last bite of candy: "Nothing~"

Saiki Kusuo didn't let it down in one breath, it got stuck in his throat.

"This is not a shop opened by humans—"

"Then you have to pay!" Sai Mu Kusuo, who is upright in Sanguan, can't do the kind of thing that doesn't pay for free living and living.

Wu Yan, who was interrupted before she finished speaking, felt a little aggrieved: "...I didn't say no!"

"I want to say that human money is not very useful to monsters. It's better to leave some power crystals for them."

Saiki Kusuo: "...Sorry, I misunderstood."

Wu Yan, who received the apology, was instantly refreshed: "Then we—"

"I am going to sleep, good night."

Interrupting him again, Saiki Kusuo resolutely lay down on the tatami beside him, pulled the quilt over and closed his eyes.

[Give up, I won't stay up late with you. 】

"Sleeping so soon?" Wu Yan was a little unwilling.

However, Saiki Kusuo had already refused to answer him with a second sleep.

Wu Yan, who didn't get a response, froze, and felt that the snacks in front of her were no longer tasty.

For a moment he lost the joy of eating.

Glancing at the dim candlelight in front of him, the candlelight was slowly extinguished, and the room returned to darkness, leaving only the sound of shallow breathing.

Wu Yan lay gently on the tatami on the other side, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

He didn't feel sleepy at all, but Xiao Nan needed sleep.

If he sleeps staring at Xiao Nan——

"Are you a pervert!"

Sai Mu Kusuo's faint voice came, and Wu Yan immediately closed her eyes: "I'm already asleep~"

Of course, it is impossible to fall asleep, that is to say, quietly absorbing some energy is almost the same.

He made too much noise when absorbing it last time, so he should be more careful this time.

Wu Yan, who has experience, controls the invisible dead energy from the ground to seep into circulation, and finally connect with his body.

There is so much death in this world.

Wu Yan sighed inwardly.

This is also good, a little more, a little more, let him take a big step forward——

Under the constant influx of dead energy, Wu Yan finally felt drowsy.

In the end, his active consciousness quieted down, and he fell asleep quietly.

Saiki Kusuo opened his eyes.

He looked at Wu Yan, who was wrapped in a black and cold aura, but never overflowed with a trace of death, and after confirming that it would not cause any trouble, he closed his eyes again.

In the small guest room, finally ushered in a real peaceful sleep.

***

Everyone can dream, and Wu Yan is no exception.

Soaked in dead air, he felt unprecedented comfort and peace of mind, as if he had returned to his mother's body, lazily not wanting to move.

Then, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice——

"...What kind of person..."

【……■…】

"Why did he leave..."

[... ■■...]

"...I can only see...images..."

【……■…】

"...I want to find him..."

……

This familiar voice was faintly visible, and the person who was talking to it couldn't hear its vague answer, which made Wu Yan subconsciously want to hear it more clearly, and tried to open it to take a look, but she couldn't open it no matter what.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he finally opened his eyes—or, he saw clearly the figure behind him.

The long, jet-black hair was slightly purple-mansled, winding down, and slipping softly onto the same-colored clothes and the ground.

It's just a back view, but it's not familiar to Wu Yan, but for a while, he can't remember where he saw the other party.

As if aware of the gaze behind him, the figure suddenly turned around.

But Wu Yan couldn't help opening her eyes wide——

The young man who turned around gave him a slight smile, and at the same time put his index finger on his lips, making a hissing gesture.

"……To Come!"

The young man who had the same face as him but was obviously more mature smiled, and finally uttered an inexplicable word: "...me."

Wu Yan instantly woke up from this strange and eerie dream.

There is light passing through the wooden wall and shining on the floor of the room, reflecting a bright light on the ground.

Wu Yan who just opened her eyes immediately wrapped herself in the quilt.

Then, he was pulled away by the quilt abruptly.

Wu Yan opened her eyes, and saw Kusuo Saiki who tore away his quilt and called him to get up.

"Time to wake up."

"Xiao Nan..." Wu Yan didn't resist, just stared at him blankly, as if she had lost her soul: "I saw a person exactly like me."

Saiki Kusuo was silent for a moment: "Are you sleepy?"

[If you don't want to get up, you have to find a decent reason. What does it mean to see someone exactly like you?Looking in the mirror? 】

Hearing this, Wu Yan who was in a daze suddenly laughed and became flexible again.

"Maybe."

Saiki Kusuo immediately looked at him like a fool.

Wu Yan didn't take it seriously, she stretched out her hand to grab Saiki Kusuo's hand, pulling him towards her.

"Don't get up, Xiao Nan will sleep with me for a while~"

Pull...not pull.

This result made Wu Yan stunned.

On the contrary, when Saiki Kusuo raised his arm, he easily pulled out Wu Yan who was lying on the tatami.

Wu Yan:? ? ?

Saiki Kusuo:! ! !

Wu Yan hangs on Saiki Kusuo's arm, successfully making the other party unable to maintain a deadpan expression.

"You... just came back from losing weight?" Saiki Kusuo was shocked.

[Or did my strength increase again? 】

Wu Yan blinked and shook her head: "No, I just woke up."

Then, as if he had discovered some new continent, he said enthusiastically, "Xiao Nan, you have great strength, stand up and try."

Saiki Kusuo stood up on the spot.

Wu Yan was hung up by him with one hand.

He couldn't help shaking his arm, and Wu Yan fluttered like a noodle, making no one notice the slightest weight.

Saiki Kusuo couldn't help but said: "Why are you so light?!"

It's not that he hasn't pulled the devil before, but it's not so light!

[I feel that there is not a person hanging on the arm, but no one at all! 】

This comparison is too scary!

Wu Yan shook her head innocently: "I don't know either."

He just had a strange dream... Wait, it seems that he really feels a lot lighter in his body, and now he is full of energy.

Listening to Wu Yan's heartbeat, and the other party just said that he saw the same person, Saiki Kusuo realized something: "Aside from people, what else did you see just now?"

【Could it be that the Demon King had a prophetic dream? 】

"Except for people, it is black." Wu Yan answered truthfully.

"He was talking to someone, I couldn't hear him, nothing else."

Saiki Kusuo stared at him: "How are you feeling recently? Are you happy?"

Wu Yan who asked this question was a little puzzled, but still replied: "I feel good, very happy."

Some friends have snacks and can restore their strength. Except that I haven't found my father for the time being, everything else is fine.

Hearing what he said, Saiki Kusuo realized as if enlightened: "You said that the person you saw was exactly like you, could it be your father?"

"Didn't you say that your father, with black hair and purple eyes, still looks a lot like you?"

Hearing this, Wu Yan suddenly realized: "That person looks very similar to me, and is older than me, just like a grown-up version of me, which makes me feel very kind..."

After such a series of evidences were presented, Wu Yan agreed more and more with Saiki Kusuo's words, and excitedly confirmed: "He must be my father!"

Saiki Kusuo also felt relaxed and happy that the person who had been looking for for so long suddenly had a clue.

"You can dream of him, this must be some clue, maybe you will be able to find him soon."

[When the time comes, I will be completely freed by throwing the Demon King out! 】

Saiki Kusuo, who was still dreaming of drawing a line with the devil, thought so, and couldn't help being motivated.

"Let's go, let's go out and find someone."
