Willy had anticipated many reactions from Asami Haruki, but he never expected that after hearing his words, the other party would simply kneel down, his knees hitting the ground with a loud thud.
...It hurts just to hear it.
His frail body trembled slightly. Asami Haruki placed his palms close to the ground, bowed his head deeply, and touched the ground with his forehead, performing a standard dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling posture).
"I know!"
"As long as you can get this thief out of my body, I'll agree to do anything you ask!"
Even if they treat me like a beast of burden, like a slave, I will still…
"..."
The atmosphere that had been created was completely destroyed, and Willy couldn't help but take two steps back, his lips twitching slightly.
Do I really look like such a cruel person?
"...I have no interest in what you're talking about."
He held back for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Stand up and listen to me."
If others saw this, they would think he was bullying someone.
"yes!"
Haruki Asami replied loudly, quickly got up, and stood up straight.
"..."
Vili recalled their brief encounter that day, and the other man's indifferent attitude, and deeply felt the power of the time traveler.
He decided that he shouldn't beat around the bush with Asami Haruki.
This guy might be a single-celled organism too...
"Ahem." Vili cleared his throat. "I only have one request, listen carefully."
"I hope that after I resolve this matter—"
"You can take Shinichi Asami and Chiyoko Asami and stay far away from me."
"It would be best to treat it as if you were the only son in your family."
"I have nothing to do with you."
Do you understand?
Haruki Asami froze on the spot, and it took him several seconds to open his mouth.
"But, however..."
"No buts."
Vili abruptly interrupted him.
There are actually many ways to achieve this, but using Haruki Asami is an easy one.
He could choose to erase his existence in this house with magic, but at the same time, he would have to modify his memories as well.
In this modern world, there are too many ways to leave a trace, and it takes too much effort to leave no loopholes, which Vili finds troublesome.
Alternatively, he could directly use the power of those three people to shut the Asami couple up.
But he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, or he would definitely be taken advantage of and asked for more benefits.
This was something he did on a whim... He didn't want the Asami couple to have any more opportunities to bother him in the future, and Asami Haruki just happened to stumble upon them at this time.
Seeing that the person in front of him still had a dazed expression, Willy added:
"You are their most beloved son. If you ask, they will definitely agree."
After all, Shinichi Asami is someone who values the inheritance of family honor so much. He even agreed to let Haruki Asami refuse to become Yumi's teacher and instead join a band. It seems that his pampering has no limits.
Willie's words seemed to awaken Asami Haruki's senses; he blinked, but then pursed his lips.
"...No, that's not it."
His voice was a little soft, but it was exceptionally clear in the silence.
"If they really love me, how could they not recognize me?"
Instead, they treated the imposter as themselves... and were even pleased by the imposter's maturity.
How do you know they didn't recognize you?
He was just talking to himself when he suddenly heard Willy's reply.
The handsome young man didn't look at him, but instead leaned against the rooftop railing, letting the wind tousle his hair and obscure his indistinct expression in the darkness.
"Don't worry, as long as you are 'Asami Haruki,' the son they raised themselves, they will always..."
I love you.
After saying this, Willy didn't look at Asami Haruki's reaction, but urged him again.
So what's your decision?
Asami Haruki remained silent for a long time, until Willie finally spoke, growing impatient.
"...I agree."
"I'm just not sure if they'll listen to me..."
Willy stepped away from the railing, turned around to meet his gaze, and said lazily and perfunctorily:
"If you try to persuade them a few more times, they will eventually listen."
Having no interest in resolving the conflicts within the Asami family, Willy simply snapped his fingers.
"Mountain Cherry".
At his call, a tiny cherry blossom fairy suddenly appeared and flew around the two of them once.
Although he wasn't Yumi-shi, Asami Haruki could still see the supernatural presence. He followed her gaze, shook his head in surprise, and finally looked at Vili.
"Can she...take care of that thief?"
Vili didn't answer him, but changed the subject instead.
"Can you call that guy out?"
“We’ve reached a temporary agreement to take turns controlling this body day and night. He should be sleeping right now…” Haruki Asami replied hesitantly.
"I see."
Willy nodded, as if to indicate that he understood, but the next second, he suddenly gave Asami Haruki a faint smile.
Before the latter could react, he immediately lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, his expression had completely changed. He looked gloomy and covered his head, lost in memories.
Willie didn't urge him, but waited patiently until the other person looked up and met his gaze.
"...My shallow opinion is unreasonable."
Why do you always have to pick on me?
"Asami Haruki" spoke in a deep voice, hoarse, his face contorted with extreme anger and hatred.
