Tukino Kazuchiyo finds himself living in a world full of non-daily occurrences. Today a murder incident, tomorrow an encounter with an Ultimate, and the day after an anomaly or spiritual phenomenon...
Chapter 155 Chapter 155 True Name.
And that is indeed the case.
After taking the child, Fang Shiyangming blinked slowly. From the moment he stepped into this strange carriage, he appeared calm because he hadn't quite reacted to the sudden change, but Wang Maxiaoji knew that wasn't the case.
He was truly calm.
“You’re so calm, Mr. Yangming.” Serizawa Chie stretched her arms simply. In a space where an uneasy atmosphere was brewing everywhere, her tone remained relaxed, and she even had the leisure to tease her lover, “You used to do cute things when you were scared.”
“If that’s the case, then we’re pretty much evenly matched.” Fusashi Yomei said, glancing around before finally choosing to sit in the empty seats on the left side of the carriage, holding the child. “Remember our first trip together? We encountered a bear, and Chie Minoru’s reaction…”
"Huh? What was Yangming saying when he was running away in fright after being scared by the bear? Why can't I hear him clearly anymore?"
“Chie Minoru…waving a knife like that is a rather dangerous thing to do, and I don’t think it’s something to be encouraged.”
"Really? I thought Yangming would like it very much."
“I can’t deny it.” Fusashi Yomei smiled and adjusted his holding position slightly after sitting down. “However, I think it’s because of Chie that I can do what I like without any worries.”
"Come on." Serizawa Chie Minoru narrowed her eyes slightly and said bluntly, "It seems that Yangming's level of flattery has declined recently. Don't talk as if Yangming will behave himself when I'm not around."
Fang Shiyangming's eyes widened slightly, seemingly incredulous: "Wait, wait, is this some kind of trouble-making?"
Serizawa Chie Minoru: "Do you have a question?"
Fang Shiyangming: "No, no, how could that be? As an apology, I'll do this tonight after I get home..."
Fang Shiyangming stopped abruptly. He had just begun to speak when he fell silent and then quietly patted the head of the child in his arms.
Serizawa Chie Minoru: "..."
Fang Shiyangming: "..."
Serizawa Chie Minoru: "..."
Fusashi Yomei: "Excuse me, Chie Minoru-sensei, may I ask you a question?"
After a moment of awkward silence, Fang Shiyangming broke the awkward atmosphere by speaking up. He deliberately adopted a cautious demeanor, his tone sounding very obedient and honest.
Serizawa Chie nodded: "Of course, what do you want to ask, Yangming-kun?"
"Um, I don't quite understand," said Fusashi Yomei. "Why did Chie Minoru look so shocked just now?"
"As for the answer to this question, Yangming-kun," Serizawa Chie replied with a smile, "of course, it's the shock that you actually have a conscience. But then I thought about it, and it's less about conscience and more about common sense—knowing what things shouldn't be said in front of children."
"No, actually, about this..."
Fang Shiyangming seemed to want to say something, but at that moment, the red lights in the carriage suddenly began to flicker, making the whole carriage look even more strange. The man realized something and quickly changed the subject.
"It seems he's finally come over after we've been chatting for so long."
Yes, that's what Wangma Xiaoji thought too.
After the three of them stepped into this strange carriage, he thought something bad was about to happen. So, it's only now that someone's actually causing trouble?
To be honest, Wang Ma Xiaoji felt that unless there were special circumstances, it was best not to do this. After all, wouldn't this give the enemy too much buffer and preparation time?
While most people would be startled upon entering a subway car after shopping at the supermarket and seeing this scene, does this family seem to have a "normal" reaction?
Wang Ma Xiaoji initially thought the reason the two adults present were so calm was similar to that of the drowsy Tsukino and Chiya—confidence in their own strength. However, after observing for a while, he realized that it was probably not just that reason.
—They know exactly who caused this situation.
The moment that thought crossed my mind, a figure suddenly darted out from the depths of the carriage, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.
It's precisely because they knew who caused this scene in the subway, and because they knew the strength of that person or those people, that the two of them were so calm and fearless.
However, given this situation, Wang Ma Xiaoji thought to himself, the people on the other side should also be aware of the difference in strength between the two sides, so since they chose to make their move at this time, they must have made thorough preparations, right?
So, is it really okay?
Standing in the middle of the carriage, Ouma Kokichi remained rooted to the spot, allowing another person to pass right through him and charge forward to fight Serizawa Chie Minoru. That person's target was clear: Fusashi Yomei. Judging from their earlier conversation, the man who was Kozuki Kazuya's father seemed to be rather unskilled in combat.
However, before that person could successfully arrive, he was stopped by Chie Serizawa.
"You've become too proud of yourselves recently for successfully helping to establish that parish, haven't you?"
Just then, another person slowly walked over from another direction. He held a stick in each hand, and his words sounded nothing but malice.
"Didn't you already know about the three of us? Yet you're still so relaxed. You really don't take us seriously."
"But it's okay."
"You will pay the price for your contempt at this moment."
Oh, that's a classic tough talk segment.
Faced with this situation, Wang Ma Xiaoji did not feel the slightest worry about the fate of his family of three.
After all, he knew very well that this was something that happened in the past, and in reality, Tsukino and Chiya had grown up properly from children into teenagers, and the man who was Tsukino's father was still a great writer.
Sure enough, it turned out he didn't need to worry, because a moment later—
"Alright, that's over." Serizawa Chie clapped her hands, completely ignoring the three people who had been piled up behind her. "They really are the three people who were wanted by the church before. Yangming, didn't you expect them to choose this time to come?"
It's so fleeting.
"Well, how should I put it?" Fang Shiyangming chose to shift the blame, "They thought they were invincible and attacked us because of this. They're even more stupid than I thought. By the way, I've already notified people from the neighboring parish to clean up the mess. Once they arrive, we can just leave."
"Hmm... well, anyway, it didn't really take up much time." Serizawa Chie opened her phone and glanced at the time displayed on it. "Speaking of which, he actually fell asleep. It's amazing no matter how many times I see it."
"Yes, children's sleep is sometimes amazing, isn't it?"
"It reminds me of the time when he would wake up instantly as soon as I brought him home and refuse to go back to sleep no matter what."
"...Ahahaha, those were the days I wanted to forget."
The incident ended with a man and a woman arriving quickly and taking care of the three people. Fusashi Hiroaki and Serizawa Chie took the groceries they had just bought from the supermarket and the child who was already fast asleep home.
Kazuki Kozuki's past is indeed very interesting.
However… Wangma Xiaoji still didn't understand Aurora's purpose in showing him these things. What good would it do him to see them?
On this point, things remain unclear. However, Ouma Kokichi has figured out something else…
In the blink of an eye, Wang Ma Xiaoji looked at Tsukino and Chiya, who had reached the age to go to elementary school with their schoolbags on their backs, and sighed in his heart.
After watching the past unfold gradually for a few days, he did have a moment of doubt that he could actually watch the entire past day by day. Fortunately, time here would occasionally jump around.
Not long after the incident on the subway, the scene in their memories suddenly changed one day, and now Tsukino and Chiya in their memories are fourth-grade elementary school students.
"Serizawa, is this your homework?"
"Here."
Wearing their school uniforms, Tsukino and Chiya handed in their homework.
Tsukino and Chiya currently share the same surname as their mother.
Thinking of this, Wang Ma Xiaoji couldn't help but click his tongue. He had been watching the memories for so long, yet he still didn't know what Xiaoyueye's father's real name was. Was that right?
Who are these people? This is really... so interesting!
As he was thinking this, Wang Ma Xiaoji's gaze fell on the signature on the homework book, a name that Wang Ma Xiaoji had already become familiar with during this period of time.
