"Ah, so Akashi-kun is Xiao Jiu's friend who had a picnic together before~ Since we are friends, let's come in and eat together! Don't be too polite!"

After learning the meaning of the other party's coming, Saiki Kurumi enthusiastically called Akashi to come in for dinner, while the latter poked his head slightly, and after seeing the kind eyes of a certain blond boy, he retracted his head very naturally, politely shook his head.

"No need, I'll go back later...I'm just here and there..."

"Hey."

Pu Chi suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and pulled the opponent out with Akashi's blank expression.

"Hey! Xiao Jiu! Where are you going!!"

"I'm sorry, mother, I'll go out for a while and come back later."

——To Kusuo's side, I'll find a way to explain it when I get back...

Akashi seemed to be aware of something, and didn't raise any objection to Pu Chi's sudden pull of his hand to leave, but followed behind him silently. After running for a while, the red top of the back mountain shrine gradually faded away. It was revealed, like the ray of sunshine that just came out in the morning.

"Didn't you tell your parents about that?"

After Pu Chi stopped, Akashi asked with some doubts, but Pu Chi didn't speak, he slightly grasped his hand, and completely grasped the opponent's hand in his own.

"Well. I don't want them to worry."

"If I remember correctly, your name is Saiki Kankuro, right?" The red-haired boy tried to struggle, but the other party's grip was indeed very tight, so he gave up.

"You...don't remember me?"

Pu Chi was silent for a while, then continued to walk forward, while Akashi showed a somewhat surprised expression, and followed him up the mountain.

The painted torii once again appeared in front of the two of them. The warm sun shone on the shrine, which seemed to bring some vitality to the painted pillars.

"Have we met before?" Akashi had a confused expression on his face.

Pu Chi let go of his hand, his heart seemed to be beating uncontrollably, he looked at the shrine, and said slowly:

"It probably looked like a few years ago. You came here. At that time, you should have been in elementary school... I met you when my friend and I went up the mountain to catch the unicorn."

"I fell down at that time, and it was you who reached out to me."

———Actually, it’s more than that, there are many, many more…

But it is impossible for him in this world to understand... Such memories have long been buried in another world.

"Is that so?" There was a somewhat bewildered expression on Akashi's face, although it was only for a moment, but he still covered it up well.

"Sorry... Maybe I don't remember much. But since you know my name, then it should be a real thing."

"Maybe it's a kind of fate." Akashi smiled, "After all, when I saw you... I suddenly had a strange sense of familiarity, I always felt that I saw you in the place above... It seems that it is that Besides, we do look alike, if I didn’t know that we have only one child in our family, I would even suspect that you are my brother or something.”

"…what."

Pu Chi lowered his eyes slightly, as if something in his heart was about to break through his chest, but every time he unexpectedly stopped the car.

With the breeze blowing slightly, a few sparrows landed on the torii gate, and Pu Chi walked towards the inside of the shrine, but unexpectedly did not see Mr. Monster.

...Strange, isn't he here?

And it seems to be quieter here than usual.

"Speaking of which, Saiki-kun is about to go to high school, right? Have you considered which high school to go to?"

Probably in order to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two, Akashi finally spoke first.

"In high school..." Pu Chi was silent for a moment, then said:

"Let's be a hero."

"Xiongying... It seems that Qi Mu-kun is indeed a very good person. Speaking of which-what is Qi Mu-kun's [personality]?" Akashi asked curiously.

For some reason, Pu Chi inexplicably sensed a trace of disappointment in his tone.According to his thinking, [Akashi Seijuro] is naturally the most outstanding existence, if it were him, he would definitely choose the best high school.

"My [personality]...probably so."

Pu Chi took off the blindfold on his left eye, and the pale golden pupils were directly exposed to Akashi's line of sight, like some kind of extremely dazzling gemstones, which made people unable to move their eyes for a while.

"This is my personality, [Eye of the Emperor of Heaven]."

Pu Chi's voice rang in his ears, and it was only at this time that Akashi fully reacted, but found that his thinking seemed to be cut off, and he couldn't remember what happened just now.

"When I touch my eyes, my thinking will be taken away in an instant, and I will be completely under my control. Even if I immediately move my eyes away due to external force after touching the [Emperor's Eye], I will be subject to it for 1 minute. My control, if I have been in contact with it, then the control will not be released passively. The duration is limited by my mental power."

Fuchi put his hand on Akashi's shoulder, his voice was very close to his ears, and the slightly moist air made his ears itchy.

"…I see."

Akashi nodded, subconsciously becoming interested in such abilities.

"It is indeed a very powerful ability. As expected of Saiki-san."

"So. What's your [personality]?"

When Pu Chi asked this question, he obviously saw Akashi stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

"I don't have [personality], it's rare [without personality]."

Although it was a flat tone, there was a little disappointment unconsciously revealed in the tone.Pu Chi was taken aback for a moment, probably guessing that he asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.

But... if it was Akashi-kun, how could...

"Maybe it's because of [talent]. Although I try my best to be perfect in other aspects, things like [personality] cannot be acquired." Akashi said with some self-mockery But even so, he still didn't show any dejected expression.

"I thought about it, what can I do without [personality]? In this world, you don't have to have [personality] to survive? Even if I have no personality, I will still surpass those who have it in many fields. Personality. It's not something to be ashamed of, is it?"

Pu Chi understood, and he also suddenly understood the meaning of the other party's explanation... Maybe he wanted to prove to him that he didn't really care about the question he asked just now, right?

To some extent, he is really a gentle person... But such an answer seems to be well known.

If it was [Akashi Seijuro], he would have been such a confident person in the first place.Shouldn't he be the clearest about this kind of thing?

"Actually, I came here to find you for another matter—"

Akashi looked at Fuchi who put the blindfold on his left eye again, and continued.

"When I went back, my mother said that she wanted to see you."

"Mother…"

Pu Chi's movements paused slightly, his hand became unsteady, and the blindfold fell to the ground inadvertently.Akashi bent down to pick it up, and smiled helplessly:

"Hey, you don't have to be so nervous, right? I just want to thank you in person... Her health has not been very good. She has undergone a major operation not long ago. Fortunately, everything is going well. In a month's time Will you be able to leave the hospital?"

"Is that right?"

This should be a happy thing, but Pu Chi felt his throat was a little dry, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"Be a little more careful, come on, let me tie it for you."

Akashi turned and walked in front of him, reached out to cover the blindfold over his left eye, and neatly tied a knot behind his hair with his fingers.Because the weather hadn't warmed up yet, the boy's fingers were a bit cold, and when his fingers inadvertently brushed across his face, Pu Chi squinted his eyes subconsciously.

It was probably at that moment that the distance between the two became very, very close... From Pu Chi's perspective, it seemed that the distance between them could be kissed by leaning forward slightly.

……What was he thinking about? !

"Okay...huh? What's the matter?"

Akashi raised his head, and when he noticed that the other party was staring at him, he asked with some doubts.

"...No, it's nothing." Pu Chi subconsciously pressed the back of his hand against his mouth, and turned his head slightly.

"Sorry, did my fingers get cold on you? You should be more careful in this weather." Akashi smiled apologetically.

"...No, it's okay. Let's go."

But that feeling is really subtle.
