Chapter 68
Although she failed to get any information about Ichinose from Gin, Yayoi left without any hesitation. In Yayoi's eyes, there was nothing more important than Chihiro.
Besides, he didn't think Gin would tell him anything important. Even though he and Gin seemed to have a good relationship for some reason, there was no trust between them. If he used a little trick, he might be able to get something out of him, but he didn't like to do that.
Yashiro took out her phone and calculated the time difference. It should be around 10pm in the US now. Instead of calling directly, she sent a message to Miyano Shiho.
It's not like he can only get information from Gin. Compared to Gin, who has been acting more and more strangely lately, the information he gets from Shiho, who likes him, is more reliable.
The underage girl Miyano Shiho, who was reliable most of the time, responded almost instantly and called him directly.
[Why are you asking him suddenly?] Miyano Shiho asked, and a girl's cold voice sounded on the other end of the phone, [Did he do anything to you again?]
It sounds like if Yayoi answered "yes", she might fly back from the United States.
"I'm just a little curious. He said he doesn't have a code name, but it seems like he can be seen everywhere." Yashi actually had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't tell Miyano Shihoaki, "Have you known him for a long time?"
[Hmm...] Miyano Shiho thought for a few seconds and said uncertainly, [It should be a long time, right? When I was a child, my parents didn't have time to take care of me, so he took me to read books... Now that I think about it, it seems like it has been a long time. Or should I ask my sister? My sister should know.]
In other words, has Ichinose been in the organization since Shiho was a child and the Miyano couple were still in the organization?
But after staying for so long, he is still an ordinary member without a code name, but he gets along well with many people. The most unlikely one among them is Gin. Even a person with a good temper like Yayo can't stand Ichinose, but Gin can become friends with him. Ichinose is really full of flaws from head to toe.
If she didn't know it was impossible, Yayo would have thought that she had traveled through time into a fan work, and Ichinose was the protagonist of this work.
"Don't bother. I just mentioned it casually, I can just ignore him." Yayoi rejected her. He really wanted to know about Ichinose, but it would be bad if it involved Miyano Akemi. After all, Akemi also had a death flag in the original work. It would be bad if something unexpected happened while investigating related matters because of his request.
[I understand.] Miyano Shiho seemed to want to say something else
, but someone on her end called her name, so she said goodbye quickly and hung up.
Yashi looked at the screen on the phone that returned to the initial interface and entered a string of numbers on the dialing interface.
He had seen Ichinose's number in his phone before, and thought that he didn't want to have anything to do with him in his life, so he deleted it directly. However, Yayoi's memory was very good, and he could still remember the number he had glanced at at that time.
The keypad of the cell phone began to make sounds, with each number connected together like a not-so-beautiful piece of music.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's residence was as warm and peaceful as ever, and the air was filled with a sweet smell, just like the feeling of happiness every time he entered a cake shop.
Yashi woke up early today, but he didn't sleep for long. He was prone to insomnia, and with something on his mind, he couldn't fall asleep at all. He didn't close his eyes until around six in the morning, and he didn't sleep for long before waking up.
He wasn't that sleepy, his mind was clearer now.
Judging from the fact that he has not died suddenly even though he has had very little rest, Yashiro feels that his physical condition is still pretty good and not as bad as Chihiro said.
Of course he didn't eat breakfast, probably because he didn't get enough sleep and his body needed rest, so he didn't feel hungry at all. But after entering the room and smelling the aroma of cream and butter, he suddenly felt a little hungry.
Zhu Fujingguang had the key here, so he could come here without saying hello in advance. He also said the day before that he would come today, so he walked in by himself.
There was no one in the living room, so he walked into the bright kitchen and saw Chihiro and Jingmitsu studying the recipe in front of them in harmony.
Chihiro's long silver hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she wore an apron over her home clothes, which made her look very homely. Jingguang was also dressed in a similar way, with a gentle expression and soft voice. The atmosphere between the two of them was really good.
Yashiro had a subtle feeling that she wanted to call her mother.
At this time, Qianhuang also saw him and white-knitted his finger at him. Yashi came over, and Qianhuang took out the freshly fried shrimp balls from the plate and fed them to him.
"How is it? Is it a bit salty?" asked Chihiro Akasaki.
"No, it's just right." Yashi answered. He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "You two get along well?"
"We got to know each other a little bit about your daily life." Akasaki Chihiro said calmly, refusing Yashiro's request for another one, and placed the remaining shrimp balls on the plate.
There were also two slices of lemon and mint leaves placed in the corner.
Zhu Fu Jingguang took the cake out of the oven with gloves on and smiled at Yashiro: "Go sit down first, it will be ready soon."
"Do you need my help?" Yashi rolled up his sleeves and asked.
Although he hadn't practiced for a long time and didn't know if his cooking skills had improved, Yashiro felt that he could still do simple tasks. In short, he couldn't do the kind of thing where he could rest while others were working.
"Then bring this over." Qian Huang handed him the shrimp balls he had just arranged, and Yashiro took it and took it away carefully.
Zhu Fu Jingguang placed the cake base on the workbench, turned around and smiled at Qian Huang: "You really have a good relationship."
As someone who has seen Yayoi's cooking skills, his first reaction after the other party asked for help was not to refuse, but to find a way to give him a job that would not cause any problems. This behavior of never refusing any request from the other party can be called a kind of doting.
Akasaki Chihiro nodded slightly, but her expression was very proud: "Of course."
After everything was cleaned up, the three of them sat at the table together. It had been a long time since they had seen such a sumptuous lunch. Zhu Fu Jingguang thought, it would be nice if Zero was here too.
But this was destined to be impossible, as most people didn't think their relationship was good enough to invite each other to their homes. If this matter was exposed and they couldn't get along as they did before, it wouldn't be a particularly unbearable thing.
But the atmosphere is still very good now. Although I am already very familiar with Yayo, there is suddenly an Akasaki Chihiro at the table, which still gives me a very fresh feeling.
This kind of thing with comic characters... Does Chiaki know about comics?
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the white-haired boy sitting opposite him, who was trying to stop Yashi from reaching for the spicy dish with his chopsticks. Because Yashi had stomach problems, he never allowed him to eat too much.
Yashiro seemed to accept it very quickly at first, but since she traveled through time at a comic convention, it wasn't difficult for her to understand the things she saw.
Akasaki Chihiro noticed Morobushi Kagemitsu's gaze and looked over. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, which made people like him appear more aggressive than those with droopy eyes. Coupled with his red pupils, a color with some evil nature, he really looked like a villain.
In the original comic, Yayoi appears as a bad boy with a very contrasting cuteness - an otaku, and Chihiro Akasaki also has a similar contrasting character.
Cartoonists can create opposing images.
The first few pages of the comics are in color. A boy with white hair, red eyes and a seductive smile appears, and the wind blows up the corners of their clothes, making them look like standard villains. However, the next second, they are wearing a pink apron and being laughed at by Yayo, which has nothing to do with villains.
Judging from the frequency of appearances, Chihiro Akasaki is the well-deserved second male lead. However, there are also those who support Seiya Imakita as the second male lead. The enemy and the savior are inherently opposed, so it makes sense to say that he is the second male lead.
However, according to the CAST list at the end of the animation, the second position is still occupied by Chiaki who appeared in the first episode.
The rival party also has their own opinion. For example, on the posters, most of the time, Yayoi and Seiya stand in the middle, Chihiro is mostly behind them, and Seiya just appears later.
The debate over who would be the second male lead lasted for years, and the issue was finally resolved because of the commentary video of the Sanma Knight that was viewed over 10 million times two years ago. After all, being a commentator is not an option to avoid the issue of the ranking, so in order to strike a balance, he simply used the CAST table to position Chihiro as the second male lead and Seiya as the female lead.
Although the gender seems to be wrong, Seiya's fans accepted it surprisingly calmly.
…
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought about it for a moment and said, "I will go out later. You two can stay here with me. If two of you go out together, it may cause a big sensation."
Indeed, Yayoi alone has caused traffic jams, and if the equally authentic Chihiro is added, maybe even people from the TV station will be attracted.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Akasaki Chiaki nodded slightly to him to express her gratitude.
From this, Morobushi Kagemitsu also realized that the other party should know something about the comics. He inadvertently saw Yayoi and showed a thoughtful expression, but soon raised his head and smiled at him.
"It's just a small matter." Zhu Fu Jingguang also smiled at them, very gently.
"Are you familiar with the man I didn't see at the banquet yesterday?" Yashi asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
"That... Mr. Ichinose?" Morobushi Kagemitsu held his chin with a thoughtful expression. He was not with Zero and the others yesterday, so he did not have a chance to talk to Ichinose. He answered, "It should be the first time we meet."
This is understandable, as Morobushi Keimitsu has not been in the organization for long, and he got his code name later than him. People who know Ichinose seem to be old members of the organization, Shiho, Gin...
"What happened?" Zhu Fujingguang saw that Yashiro was lost in thought again.
Asked.
"No, nothing." Yashi answered quickly. He thought it was not appropriate to bring up things that had not been confirmed.
"Yashi." Qian Huang suddenly called his name, leaned forward slightly, turned his head and looked at him, "Have you thought of anything?"
"It may not be accurate yet..." Yashiro said. Just as Chihiro never refused him, he would hardly hide anything from Chihiro.
"You're still thinking too much." Akasaki Chihiro said sharply, "It's impossible to take on everything yourself. If you really do that, what's the meaning of our existence? I reminded you..."
"Many times." Yashiro continued his words. He actually knew that Qianhuang was right, but he was used to dealing with things by himself. After all, the biggest problem he faced now was something he couldn't tell anyone else.
He raised his hand and touched his braids. The knots in his braided hair felt different from other hair. Whenever he felt pressured, he would subconsciously want to touch them.
"It's not something particularly important." Yayoi looked up at Morobushi Kagemitsu who was sitting opposite her and said, "If you meet Ichinose, you'd better be careful of him... But I'm worried that he will find out that you are on guard against him. That guy is very smart."
There is no doubt about this. Ichinose was able to confirm the fact that he had lost his memory as his attending physician, so he was quite capable. It was just that Yayo was more experienced, so she was able to deceive him.
Zhu Fu Jingguang had nothing to doubt. Since Yashiro said so, he must have his reasons. He agreed seriously, but he was thinking in his heart that he really needed friends of the same age to ask questions.
Sometimes he and Zero could feel that Yayoi was overthinking, but even if they knew this, they could only try to hint at it indirectly and could not be as straightforward as Chihiro.
Maybe Matsuda could, but Matsuda couldn't see Yayoi now, and Morobushi Kagemitsu didn't want Matsuda and the others to know so much.
At this moment, Zhu Fujingguang's phone suddenly vibrated several times, and he picked up the phone almost immediately. He usually didn't turn on the silent mode, and the vibration sound was specially set for someone.
It is not accurate to say that it is a certain person, it should be said that it is the task of the organization.
The missions seem to be getting more and more frequent recently. He had just returned from a business trip the day before yesterday when he received a mission to infiltrate a dinner party, even though nothing happened yesterday. Usually there would be a gap of several weeks or even months between missions, but this time he actually received an email the next day.
Not bad
Maybe the organization has more trust in him, so they give him more tasks.
There was nothing to hide in front of Yashiro, so Zhufu Jingguang opened the email directly. There was a location written on it. Thirty seconds after he opened it, the email was automatically deleted.
"Huh?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at his phone with some confusion, opened the map and confirmed the actual location of the coordinates. This mission location felt a bit strange to him.
Now he had more reason to leave. He quickly took a few bites of rice, ate the rest, and said to the two people in front of him, "I still have some things to do. Just leave these things here and I'll clean them up."
He went back to his room, changed his clothes, and left in a hurry.
"Be careful on the road." Yayoi said to him. Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled at him, put the hood of his coat on his head, and walked towards the tram.
After that, she was alone with Chihiro. Although from Yayoi's perspective they hadn't seen each other for a long time, there was no strangeness between the two of them. After dinner, they squeezed into the kitchen together to wash the dishes.
It's rare to be together, so I should ask some serious questions. But Yashiro thought about the last time she met with Seiya-kun, and he was forced to leave just as he got to the point. She was a little worried that Chihiro would disappear as well.
He took the plate that Qian Huang had rinsed with clean water, wiped it clean, and put it in the disinfection cabinet next to him. He thought for a few seconds before asking, "You mentioned three days before, how long has it been?"
Chihiro Akasaki raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling. After thinking for two seconds, he said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will leave at twelve o'clock tonight."
"So fast..." Yashiro's voice was a little low, but he immediately recovered his spirits, "By the way, you know about the comics, right?"
"It's hard not to know, isn't it?" Qian Huang said, without stopping his hand movements, "You knew it a long time ago?"
"When I first came here, I saw a fan fiction about the two of us getting married. It felt so weird." Yashi changed the subject without giving a direct answer.
Even if Qian Huang knows it now, it doesn't mean that he can always remember it. The will of the world is difficult to go against. Just like the connection with other places you have been to, the memory in the other world is normal. Once you return to the original world, you will remember nothing.
Yashiro didn't want to put too much pressure on him.
"Marriage means naturalization, right? Both of our household registrations are registered at the research institute, so there won't be any difference after we get married." Akasaki Chihiro didn't know whether she was distracted by him or wanted to cooperate with him, so she didn't continue asking.
"That's right."
Say something like, "Shall we do something this afternoon?"
…
If Qian Huang wants to go back, he must crush the crystal he brought.
It was unclear how Shengye got here. Qian Huang used the ability of one of his subordinates, which had many restrictions and a short duration, and a long reset CD. Fortunately, the flow speeds of the two worlds were different, so he could stay here for a longer time.
He wanted to try to take Yashi away with him. He could actually do it on the spot, but he had to wait until the deadline because he was worried about failure. If he failed, he could still spend more time with Yashi before that.
Fortunately, Yashiro had a good memory. He remembered clearly what job he was doing before coming and what unfinished work he had. After explaining everything to Chihiro, the two sat together on the sofa without saying anything.
As long as they are together, they feel at ease. However, since it is rare for them to meet, Yashiro feels that he should say more. He cannot leave before the collaboration ends. I originally thought that it was just his own efforts, but it seems that he has been arranged with a companion for this collaboration.
It's just that they can't be together all the time like before, and he probably still has to rely on himself overall.
"Why don't we watch anime?" Yayoi suggested, referring to the anime of "Wheel of Fortune".
He felt ashamed when he watched it himself. The last time he started watching one and a half episodes, he still couldn't continue. In addition, a lot of things happened afterwards, so he has been putting it off until now.
But it would be different if Chihiro was here! They would be embarrassed together anyway, Chihiro's shame level is much lower than his, he is willing to watch the most embarrassing first episode again just for Chihiro!
Akasaki Chihiro glanced at him, stretched out her arms and put them around his neck, and said threateningly: "I think you have bad intentions."
"How could that be!" Yashiro said confidently, "Am I that kind of person? Ah, it seems that I am... But this time is different, I think this must be a very precious memory!"
Watch a 1080P high-definition documentary film about the Chuunibyou era together.
Yashiro turned on the TV and projected the movie onto it through her mobile phone. Then she hugged Chihiro's arm in turn and put her entire weight on him to prevent Chihiro from running away halfway through the movie.
Qian Huang was silent for two seconds, then said resignedly, "I understand."
In order to prevent the show from being out of place, and to prevent some fans from publicly punishing her, Yashiro watched the show with the comments turned off. Although Yashiro is now used to various names, she still feels a little
Shameful.
At the beginning of the animation, people from the camp came to Yayo and said to him, "You are our new leader." However, Yayo, who was a cool guy with a middle school syndrome at the time, rejected them flatly and even threw the crown that represented power.
"You brought this upon yourself." Qian Huang couldn't help but say when he saw this, "Think about how many people you asked for help in order to repair this thing."
"I'd love to." Yashi snorted. Even though it was difficult to repair, it felt really good to fall down at that time. He actually wanted to fall down now, but he was so mature that he would not do that kind of thing.
"I really miss the Xi Gao Ya Shi of that time. He seemed to understand much better." Qian Huang suddenly said with emotion, moving his arm to let Ya Shi loosen his grip, "I'll go get a glass of water."
Yashiro didn't care at all. He always watched this part of the anime every time. He had watched this scene dozens of times, if not hundreds of times.
"Wait a moment." Yashiro even used her legs to hold Chihiro in her arms and prevent him from leaving.
Progress bar, OP (opening theme) is coming soon.
The camera on the TV moved down and stopped at the gem falling from the crown, then gradually went dark. The next second, a slightly cheerful music started playing. The protagonists who appeared at the beginning appeared one after another, accompanied by various exaggerated effects to show their personalities.
Yashiro clearly felt that Chihiro's body stiffened.
"How about we watch something else?" Chihiro's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he persuaded Yashiro beside him, "You don't want to watch such a weird thing, do you?"
"I want to watch it." Yashiro said. If he was alone, he certainly wouldn't want to watch it, but if he could persecute Chihiro, he would be happy to do so. "Don't you think it's a good way to reminisce about the past?"
"Two years ago is nothing compared to the past!" The animation's OP was over, and soon it was time for Chihiro to appear. Akasaki Chihiro closed her eyes in despair, feeling extremely painful. "Do I have to use this method to remember the past?"
"Not really." Yashiro thought for two seconds and said, "There are also comics, many fan works, and secondary creations of MMD, including the version of you dancing to "Majestic". "
Yayoi didn't say that he was there too, but given Chihiro's personality, he definitely wouldn't go to see her.
"…Then let's look at this." Akasaki Chihiro said reluctantly.
"Then I must fulfill Qian Huang's wish and you are not allowed to close your eyes." Yashi smiled at him and said in a light tone.
Seeing Yayoi smile, Qian Huang could no longer be angry. He sighed and said, "Tyrant."
"Thanks for the compliment. Chihiro, look, the pink apron is out!"
“……”!
