365 days of playing the knife

"Eh?" Tokuta Tara's hand froze for a moment, his expression a bit surprised, he repeated Hidekiri's words, "Help me?"

"You don't seem surprised at all." Hikakiri cut a small piece of cake with a small spoon and poked it on the plate.

"No, I'm obviously surprised."

"But what makes you strange is that Kagemaru wants to save you, not why he wants to save you."

"...Higakiri-san, do you remember the name of Kemaru?!"

Mustache paused, blinked innocently, his smile seemed to be a little wider than usual, and even two pointed canine teeth that were not often exposed were exposed. "Am I right?"

"Yes, yes! You did call the right name of Kememaru just now, Mr. Higakiri! You will be very happy!" Ten Tsukuta Tara clapped his hands very appreciatively.But in the next second, because he realized the meaning of Hidekiri's last sentence, he lowered his eyes with a little distress, "But it's really a bit of a surprise, Kemaru wants to save me or something."

"It seems that what my brother wants to do is redundant for you?"

"No, no, no, how could it be redundant..." Tokuta Tara retorted subconsciously, and then fell silent for a while as if thinking about his words, "I must have caused a lot of trouble to Kagemaru."

Shi Shu didn't use interrogative sentences, but spoke affirmatively. "If he could see this like the kid..."

"The kid?"

"A few years ago, that child told me about this matter, about my death." Even when he was talking about this kind of thing, there was no negative emotion on Tokudo Tara's face, "Me too Only now did I realize that Kagemaru knew about it too."

In other words, he actually realized it, but he just didn't guess the answer correctly.Because Kemaru is the opposite of his elder brother, everything that Higakiri shows is what he wants to let others know, but Kemaru will not hide his thoughts at all.

From the first time they met, Kagemaru revealed his curiosity about him——Jushu Tara.In the various encounters (encounters while escaping for his life) that followed, Keimaru mostly had a look of disgust, mixed with some things that seemed a bit strange and taken for granted.Now that I think about it, the expression on the knee ball at that time can probably be interpreted as "this person is so troublesome, no wonder he died." '

Unknowingly later, the relationship between the two became better because of these things, although it was impossible for Kagemaru to admit it.But this relationship is only as good as it is, and it is completely impossible to go deep enough to want to save him.

unless……

"Will Qing Wang be involved in my 'death'?" Tokuta Tara asked.

Higakiri had to marvel at Tozuka's keenness, and he could understand the beginning and the end just from his one sentence.So Higakiri nodded with a smile, and after getting an affirmative answer, Tokuta Tara immediately smiled wryly.

He will definitely not die a natural death in the future, otherwise it would be impossible to implicate King Qing.Since King Qing was involved, it must be something that King did.The most likely answer is that he was killed by the enemy, and the king went to avenge him.After all, Barbara had too many enemies, and he was the weakest cadre, so it was really easy to guess whether he would become a target or not.

If it was an ordinary vendetta, even if the king went to take revenge, it would be impossible for King Qing to be involved.So his death must be related to some outsider...or some other king.

However, no matter how powerful the outsider is, it is impossible to implicate the king. Although Scepter4 can be regarded as the police organization of the outsider, according to the agreement of [no interference between kings], King Qing will never stop the king from avenging him. .

So there is only one answer left, "I was killed by some king..."

"Yes." Hikakiri gave an affirmative answer again.

"Ah... I didn't expect it to be like this in the end." Now that he can guess this point, Shikuta Tara can naturally continue to speculate.His death is related to a certain king, King will definitely not care whether the other party is a king, according to King's own Weitzman deviation value, if he really avenges him...

Such a future is really bad.

Tokuta Tara, who didn't care much about his own death, had the idea of ​​changing this future for the first time.

"Mr. Hikiri told me this, why?" Tokuta Tara became serious, no longer a relaxed smile on his face.

"Because I want to confirm one thing." The smile on Higakiri's face was still soft, but at this moment it seemed a little dark for no reason.

"It seems that you have confirmed it."

"Almost." Hikari handed the spoon to his mouth, licking the green cream left on it with his eyelids half-drooped.

"Higakiri-san, can I ask you something?"

"what's up?"

"Hmm...can I ask you not to tell others about our conversation today?"

"...It's okay." Realizing the deep meaning of this sentence, Hidekiri raised his eyes and looked at Tokusu suspiciously, "Do you really want to die that much?"

What Mustache said was heart-wrenching, but once it was combined with his natural soft voice and beautiful and well-behaved appearance, the lethality was greatly reduced in an instant.

"Hahaha, how is this possible." Tokuta Tara smiled helplessly because of Hikakiri's too direct words, and he explained, "I have prepared a few years ago, and I am very concerned about my current life. I'm already very satisfied. If it weren't for today's incident, I probably wouldn't be as troubled as I am now."

"If it's just my death, I can accept it calmly... But knowing that I will implicate King and the others in the future, I can't help but wonder, can this future be changed?"

"Even I myself started to get a little confused and didn't know what to do. So at least for now, let's not let them know about it."

Tokuta Tara didn't realize that he was extra frank in front of this Higakiri whom he had known for less than a day and was only meeting him for the third time. He even said the words that had been hidden in his heart so naturally.

#This may be the reassuring magnetic field unique to the elderly. #

"I understand." Mustache nodded.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Higakiri." Tokuta Tatara put his hands together and stopped the topic.He once again raised a leisurely and relaxed smile as usual, "I remember there are a few super interesting places nearby, I'll take you there later~"

So the two people who had just finished chatting about the philosophical issue of life and death walked around the street very happily all morning, as if nothing happened above.

#The world of big brothers is really hard to understand! #

"Ah, it's already noon before I know it." Ten bundles of tatara had a lot of packing bags hanging in their hands, obviously saying that they were going for a stroll with mustaches, but in the end it was himself who spent more and had more fun. "Higakiri-san, let's go have lunch~"

"Okay." Higakiri only had a white paper bag in his hand. Due to the opacity of the packaging bag, it is not clear what he bought.

"Hmm... how about the ramen? I remember that Hatta was working at a ramen restaurant recently, and the ramen there is really good!"

"Sure." When it comes to food, Higakiri doesn't have a particular preference.To be precise, Brother Genji, who has lived for a thousand years, is indifferent to most things, whether it is food or fun, he often does not have any special opinions.

It seems that Shishu Tara was planning to go to this ramen restaurant from the very beginning, because they still didn't walk for too long, and it only took a few minutes according to the speed of walking and chatting slowly.

"Welcome - brother Shishu! Good afternoon!" Hatta greeted Shishu with a warm smile.

And this little Hatta, the captain of the commando of Barbara, who is said by ten bunches of tatara, has a rather cute name that is not known to the public.

As for why I specifically mention this, the reason is...

"Mi→sa↗ki↘→↗, is my ramen not ready yet?" A teenager wearing a Scepter4 uniform and wearing glasses sat in the farthest corner, propping his chin and staring in their direction boredly— — To be more specific, staring at Misaki in his mouth.

"You bastard monkey, you already told me not to call me by my name!!!" Misaki Hatta turned around angrily and shouted.

After getting the reply, Fushimi Saru Hiko, who was still sleepy just now, seemed to be ignited by something, and instantly became full of energy.There was a mocking smile in his rather gloomy eyes hidden under the glasses, "Isn't it because Misaki your speed is too slow, if I sent it earlier, I wouldn't call you."

"Isn't that because you ordered a dozen dishes?! And don't you really hate vegetable sashimi?!"

"Hey~ I didn't expect you, Misaki, to remember my preferences? It really makes me feel..."

"Shut up, monkey!" Hatta abruptly interrupted Fushimi, his face flushed red, and he didn't know whether it was from anger or shame.

As for the scene that seemed to be about to fight in the next second, it didn't affect the two leisurely adults at all!

"Mr. Hikiri, I recommend this restaurant's signature tonkotsu ramen~ The soup is super rich and delicious!" Ten bunches of Tatara said, pointing to the ramen that occupies a quarter of the menu, "I remember this restaurant also has Snacks... Ah, I found it! Tempura and pickled radish! Both taste very good! I even asked the owner how to make it! It’s a pity that I can’t make that feeling~”

"Then order this."

"Hmm~ It seems that Hatta and the monkey should have a little more emotional exchange, so I won't bother, I'll just go over there and order. Mr. Higiri, please wait a moment."

After watching the ten bundles of Tatara leave, Higiri rubbed his ears lightly. He felt that the magical word "Mi→sa↗ki↘→↗" had circulated in his brain countless times.He probably won't be able to forget the name in a short time.

Maybe this member of Scepter4 can call the name of the knee ball with the same tone, so that he will probably remember his dear Odoudou's name deeply.

The author has something to say: If you really do this, be careful and cry for you!

The protagonist is already doing something, the reason is foreshadowed, but it is not obvious.You can guess.

And now there are ten chapters, and it has only been one day since Higakiri arrived in this world (I arrived at around 24 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and now I have lunch at noon the next day, to be precise, it has not even arrived for [-] hours.), I can probably complete "Let The protagonist ends this world in a week" is the shortest time-consuming achievement.Then I thought again, the first thirteen episodes, in fact, only a week has passed... Hahahahahahahahahaha, you are worthy of being a fan of this anime!

If you look at the world of tutoring, a chapter may take a month or even ten years (cross out).

The point is that these are not intentional. I originally planned that the protagonist would stay for seven months (ten bunches of deaths), but it ended up being written like this...

The painting styles of these two worlds are really completely different!
