Chapter 47: Rebirth in the Fire

In the past few days, Toru Amuro has been following the dual orders of the organization and the public security, and has been pestering Kazue Yayoi, and has successfully figured out the other party's preferences. Kazue Yayoi has always been very curious about why Bourbon followed him all the way, but had to pretend to meet him by chance.

So he called Elizabeth and asked, "There's a friend of mine who always pretends to run into me by chance and wants to treat me to a meal. What's going on?"

Elizabeth was confused and tried to answer, "Is he good-looking? Does he have many friends?"

"According to human terms, he is a very handsome man, very charming, and he should have a lot of friends."

He is very handsome and charming, has friends but no boyfriend or girlfriend, and is still clinging to Kazukage Yayoi. Elizabeth suddenly realizes, "So he is pursuing you!"

Hmm? That doesn't feel right.

"No, isn't it said that when lovers look at each other, electric shocks will occur? I didn't feel any."

Elizabeth:? She didn't know whether He Jing Yasheng was referring to real electricity or fake electricity. She said hesitantly: "Maybe he just wants to be good friends with you? You can try to contact him. Do you hate him?"

That wasn't an annoyance. On the contrary, he was quite curious. Bourbon looked really busy, yet he still had time to be friends with him.

As a result, due to the misunderstanding, Kazukage Yayoi not only failed to understand that Bourbon was actually following him and deliberately approaching him, but instead understood that Bourbon was expanding his social circle in addition to his busy work, and was a very social and energetic person.

In order to reduce Bourbon's workload and prevent him from dying suddenly, Kazukage Yayoi accelerated their familiarity. With the two-way efforts of both parties, Kazukage Yayoi and Bourbon soon became good friends.

At Bourbon's invitation, Kazuya and Yayoi have been playing in various places in Tokyo these days, including but not limited to: amusement parks, parks, oceanariums, museums, and movie theaters. They have successfully visited many places that are not sure whether they should be called gatherings with friends or dating places for couples.

Thanatos had never played these games before, so he also had a lot of fun with Bourbon. Although the entertainment itself was meaningless, in that scene, the joy brought to him by the human soul made him feel the same. The happiness of one person cannot touch the gods, but the happiness of one thousand or ten thousand people is enough to make the gods feel the same joy. As a result, Thanatos paid more attention to Amuro Toru.

Normally, there are a lot of people near the Tokyo Skytree, but now it is Friday and everyone is going to school or work. Although there are a lot of people, it is not crowded. He Jing Yayoi ate ice cream with a smile in his eyes. Today's human beings are also very happy. He has eaten four or five souls along the way, which can be said to satisfy both his appetite and spirit. And this ice cream is very delicious, with a full mixture of nuts and chocolate. Every bite is full of mellow milky fragrance and silky taste.

"Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" Worried about parking inconvenience, Amuro Toru parked his car a little far away and came running over. Kazukage Yayoi came by taxi, so she arrived earlier than Amuro Toru.

He Jing Yasheng shook his head, "No, it's just that many people came to chat with me and asked me to become a star?" As he said that, he took out a stack of colorful flyers with flesh-colored images of people in obscene poses. As for the star the person handing out the flyers was talking about, of course, it was that kind of star.

Amuro Toru, who was panting because of running, almost couldn't catch up with the others. He quickly snatched the flyer and stuffed it into the trash can beside him. "Ahem, really, don't accept this kind of thing! Also, you have to tell those people that you are a minor. This is a crime."

Kazukage Yayoi looked at Amuro Toru in confusion, but isn't it legal to film these in Japan? And don't humans like to reproduce? Why is there such a big reaction?

Amuro Toru pressed his solar plexus with a headache. After spending the past few days with Kazukage Yayoi, he had also felt Kazukage Yayoi's personality. If it was just a normal chat, Kazukage Yayoi could be said to be a very polite, kind and friendly young man. However, as long as the topic deviated and the behavior was not in line with common sense, Kazukage Yayoi would not act in a common sense.

For example, if you say good morning to him, he will say good morning to you normally. But if you say good evening in the morning, he will also say good evening without any hesitation, and will not even question why you say good evening. It's like a robot with only simple language modules installed. Once it becomes complicated, it will either have confusing logic, incoherent words, or simply not reply.

Moreover, Kazukage Yayoi's moral level is very low, and he is in a state of complete indulgence in human desires. When he is sleepy, he should sleep, and when he is hungry, he should eat, regardless of time and occasion.

"Although this is indeed legal in Japan, you are a minor. Well, to be precise, you are a minor now. Moreover, you need to understand this kind of thing clearly before doing it." Amuro Toru looked at Kazukage Yayoi's still confused face and sighed helplessly. Well, just pretend he didn't say it. Why did he talk about these moral laws with a member of an organization?

"Oh, I understand. It's just like the novel that Kenbali showed me. The heroine can only have sex with the hero, otherwise it would be a violation of her innocence, right? But I'm not a girl?" He Jing Yayoi suddenly understood something. Isn't this the plot in the novel? He understood. The heroine who was forced to become a prostitute because of debt met her childhood sweetheart. The two were forced to be unable to be together due to the pressure of moral society, and staged a tragic love story that was worthy of praise and tears.

Kenbali, what did you show Kazukage Yayoi? Look at what you showed the child. He was led astray. Amuro Toru held his forehead and said, "That's not what I meant. Also, you should read less of the novels that Kenbali gave you. These are all outrageous values."

He Jing Yayoi humbly asked, "Hmm? Bourbon, please continue. I'm listening."

Amuro Toru struggled with the educational views of the inner and outer worlds, and finally chose to be a good person. "Generally speaking, this kind of thing can only be done by two people who love each other. If a person has a lover and still has sex with someone else, it is equivalent to betraying his lover."

He Jing Yasheng thought about it, "But why? Why is it that when a person has sex with another person, it is considered betrayal of his lover?"

He Jing Yayoi was puzzled. In his world, the gods could give birth to children in any combination, and even one god could give birth to a child. Thanatos and his brothers and sisters were either born by the goddess of night Nyx alone, or by his brother Erebus. As for Zeus, the king of gods in his last memory, he could be said to be spreading his love all over the world. In his mind, he never thought that having a relationship was a betrayal of his lover.

I didn't expect to start from here. Amuro Toru had a headache. "Well, because this matter is very intimate, if you don't trust someone very much, it's difficult for you to have a relationship with that person."

Is this true or not? Confused, Kazukage Yayoi took out his cell phone and played the video.

What are you doing on the street! Stop it! Toru Amuro quickly paused the screen for Kazukage Yayoi. Looking at the other people's eyes, Toru Amuro was worried that he would be arrested for sexually harassing a minor and sent to the Metropolitan Police Department for a day trip.

"That is, if you tell me that you don't want to fight, and I know you don't want to fight, but I force you to fight, will you still like me?" Amuro Toru explained in a different way. Although Jing Yayoi had reason to suspect that Bourbon was making a sarcastic remark about Gin, he had no evidence.

"I understand. You knew I asked you not to do this, but you still did it against my request. This made me feel betrayed." He Jing Yayoi understood a little. Although in his opinion, this request was inexplicable, he respected human wishes and bottom line.

Seeing that Kazukage Yayoi finally understood, Amuro Toru breathed a sigh of relief. His moral standards had finally been brought back a little.

"Also, don't play this kind of video on the street. This is sexual harassment and you will be detained by the police. You are still a high school student. If the school finds out, you might even be expelled."

Although Kazukage Yayoi was still confused, he chose to respect and bless. In his opinion, he had encountered sex in public countless times, so why couldn't he show other people's videos? Maybe people in this era have a stronger sense of morality.

This seems to be what is meant by, that morality is for social stability, and that morality is a means for the ruling class to control society?

Seeing that Jing Yayoi only had a vague understanding of the matter, but he couldn't go into more details, so Amuro Toru chose to skip the topic and said, "Let's eat. How about going to this restaurant?"

Kazukage Yayoi glanced at the phone handed to him by Amuro Toru, which showed a Thai restaurant. "Okay, I haven't been there, but I hope there's no queue." Japanese people really like to queue. Whenever he wants to buy a popular cake, he either has to queue for two hours or find a purchasing agent.

Fortunately, he met Subaru Okiya again in a group of desserts purchasing agents, and the latter was still kind enough to continue to help him purchase. What a nice person. Moved by this, Kazukage Yayoi gave the latter a little blessing of Philotes (note) to make the latter's affinity full. After all, people who really have friends will never be so idle as to do free purchasing. Kazukage Yayoi imagined a lot of tragic stories about Subaru Okiya, who wanted to make friends very much, but suffered from others not liking him and never making good friends. The blessing of Philotes, the god of friendship, should be able to solve this problem for the other party.

And Okiya Subaru really likes that candy. Every time they meet, they can smell the faint sweetness of the candy coming from each other, so from time to time they buy a box for Okiya Subaru as a thank you gift. Okiya Subaru also quickly established a good friendship with him, and the two often chat about which coffee shop has the best desserts. In Japan, where men are embarrassed to go to coffee shops and women are embarrassed to go to ramen shops, this can be said to be a friendship of sharing hardships.
