Chapter 85: Past Life Lover, Present Life First Love
Fei Shi Yuan is a formal management agency for people with superpowers. Strictly speaking, it is equivalent to the government of people with superpowers, and does not have the bad habits of those black medical workshops.
The physical examination they were talking about was simply a comprehensive checkup, checking the three people's physical functions, ability types, triggering methods, development paths, etc.
Whether it is Yuushi Oshizuka or Yukimura and Kirihara who attacked the police (with a tennis ball), they are all legal citizens with household registration books. After the inspection is completed and enough information is collected, they will naturally be allowed to go home.
Of course, the relevant memories must be deleted.
As for organizing student physical examinations during the national competition - the national competition is just a general term. During this period, there is the National College Comprehensive Sports Conference (the legendary Inter High, which has various events), the National College Baseball Selection Conference (for baseball players), the National College Football Player Rights Conference (for football players), and the Basketball Competition (for basketball players).
Apart from the first hodgepodge, the remaining ones are managed by different committees, and generally no one has any influence over the other.
"Therefore, if we want to unify personnel, it would be best if the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Sports Bureau took the lead."
Sonoko nodded "hmm" to show that she was listening.
The assistant nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The Yuzhu Tower has the right to issue orders to national agencies at all levels, but the Yu family is a very self-disciplined people. The Golden Clan exists to maintain order in the underground world, not to challenge the authority of the national government."
"So," the young lady snapped out a document, "before contacting the Ministry of Education for coordination, we will inform the Cabinet in advance and briefly explain the relevant situation."
"Hmm~Hmm~"
Suzuki Sonoko flipped through the folder and continued to nod indifferently.
The assistant sister breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you understand the situation."
"Actually, if the Yu family were still here, he could just call the Prime Minister to explain. But now that the king is far away in Takama-ga-hara, his deterrent power has decreased for those with ulterior motives."
"So, especially at times like this, we must pay more attention to correct procedures and do our best to maintain the authority of the national government."
"You can rest assured," the assistant sister rubbed Suzuki-sama's head in a rebellious manner, and said to her gently, "The current Prime Minister is very easy to get along with. Besides, your visit this time is mainly to show the support of the Imperial Pillar Tower for the human government. The form is more important than the content. Moreover, the cabinet is busy with other matters, so the conversation should not last more than a quarter of an hour. You also have an entourage-"
"Wait a minute..."
Suzuki Sonoko interrupted her weakly, scratching her ear expressionlessly: "Please repeat it again, who do you want me to go with... and what do you want me to do?"
There was an awkward silence in the room for three or five seconds.
A fine wrinkle formed between the young lady's eyebrows, and she patiently repeated, "Before we issue an official document to the Ministry of Education, you, on behalf of the Onishita Tower, must hold a meeting with the Prime Minister."
Suzuki Sonoko comes from a wealthy family and has always lacked awe for politicians. But no matter how many political elections capital can manipulate, how many political figures it can discredit, and no matter how "the government changes but the conglomerates remain," as long as the prime minister is still the prime minister, he is the head of the country!
Compared to those vague and illusory gods, she was actually deeply shocked in a certain sense because of her concrete understanding.
——Am I now on par with the country’s top leader?!
With this shock in mind, Yuanzi felt as soft as walking on cotton the whole morning. She memorized the speech of several hundred words (a preview of the dialogue for the meeting with the Prime Minister), but at the end she only remembered the sentence "Goodbye".
In the afternoon, the assistant sister was really tired, so she gave her a short vacation to "accept the reality" and planned to start teaching her again after she had calmed down.
Yuanzi felt an indescribable excitement in her heart. She walked around the lounge on the top floor several times. She inexplicably felt a sense of mission, and the desire to perform that had been dormant for many years burst out. She looked like an elementary school student who was working hard to arrange a program before the parents' visit day.
After her nap, she went to the research institute again. The experts who had nothing to do were all good at telling stories.
When Sonoko came out of the science class, except for the difficult-to-study illusion-type Yukimura Seiichi, which might take some time, the simple burst-type boy Kirihara Akari had also been examined and had been biubiubiued.
Yuanzi looked inside through the small glass window. The kelp head that had been noisy last night was now snoring quietly. She smacked her lips and said, "The inspection was pretty quick..."
The expert who taught her was a young man who studied magic (the one the assistant sister said would be placed in PLAY when there was insufficient funding. Coincidentally, they were in a period of "insufficient funding" recently).
He was acting as a note-taker for the research group. Upon hearing Sonoko's sigh, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Kirhara-kun is still quite slow. The fastest one is actually Oshitari-kun."
I happened to wander into the hall at this moment. There were only two of the three large translucent block cages left, and the unknown Yukimura was still hanging in the air like a big cocoon.
Two mouse-shaped players were flying near his head, playing Bu Po Shang's new album intermittently.
Sonoko thought the song was so damn ugly, but the expert spread his hands and said: Young people like this nowadays. The internet is closed here, so for Yukimura-kun's mental health, we had to ask someone to go to the music store in the commercial street next door to buy the album!
——It took half an hour just to queue up!
Suzuki Sonoko swore that after the expert said this, Yukimura-kun's forehead, where only a little skin could be seen under the big cocoon, suddenly had a blue vein popping out.
After taking two more steps, she stood in front of Yuushi Ozaki's "cell" and was stunned.
Unlike yesterday when he was in a semi-comatose state after being obviously drugged, there were three or four large pillows around Oshitari that looked very soft (with the same patterns as the ones the assistant sister bought for her. Sonoko strongly suspected that they were actually taken from her lounge). He had a light blue lollipop in his mouth and was concentrating on playing Double Kill, Trible Kill, Quadra Kill on the game console. The screen was blurry.
After successfully achieving the feat of killing a large number of people, Oshitari-kun, with a lollipop in his mouth, finally raised his eyes and glanced meaningfully at the female ghost who was separated from him by a "wall".
He doesn't look alike to Ken'ya Oshitari. When he has a stern face and doesn't speak, he looks exactly like his father Eiji Oshitari. He has a subtle aura that seems like he will turn evil as soon as he takes off his gold-rimmed glasses.
Sonoko, who had no idea her persona (nickname?) was a female ghost, felt a chill on the back of her neck when she looked at her. She quickly turned her gaze back to the expert and pointed at the cage and asked, "Didn't they say this is the fastest way to check? Why is he still here after Qieyuan has been sent away?"
The expert pulled a small notebook from a nearby shelf, flipped through it, and explained, "It seems that Oshitari-kun has been affected by external forces in the past few days. His biomagnetic field has shown downward point-like fluctuations."
Suzuki Sonoko: "Speak in a way I can understand."
The expert said: "He may have encountered a ghost a few days ago. His Qi and blood are a little weak now."
Suzuki Sonoko: "Very good, now I can understand."
The expert put down his notebook and gave a soothing smile to the blue-haired boy in the "cage," who was surprisingly interested. "This kind of weakness is quite different from the aura you exude when you're sick. If you go out rashly, you'll easily be harassed by those cowardly bullies again. It would be a shame if you died from this at such a young age."
"so……"
Ozuki Yuushi tilted his head, seemingly unaffected by the surreal situation, but asked naturally, "Is it for my own good that you're keeping me locked up now?"
The tone of the words was flat, but it contained a hint of soft sarcasm. The expert raised his hand good-naturedly to signal retreat, but Yuanzi was so curious that he almost climbed on the "wall".
Yuushi Oshitari tightened his grip on the game console unnaturally, and his heartbeat became a little out of control.
People's heartbeats speed up when they see someone they like. When it's his turn, their heartbeat speeds up to the point of being out of control. Only then do they start to look carefully at what this person looks like.
Suzuki Sonoko's dress in the Onohashi Tower is similar to the usual style of Heshiin.
She always had patterns of eight-eyed dragon horns on her body, and she wore some rather complicated kimonos with hems as long as her clogs. She had almost no fashionable accessories, and each of her gold earrings and bracelets looked more old-fashioned than the last.
However, she is quite beautiful when she is as quiet as a virgin, and does not look out of place when she moves as swiftly as a rabbit. Now she is swaying on the light wall, and surprisingly she does not look like a monkey. Her round eyes are full of curiosity, which makes people see a kind of natural cuteness.
"I'm telling you," the lovely ghost lady asked seriously, "what does it feel like to encounter a ghost?"
Her expression was too academic, and her cute and coquettish look was almost gone, so much so that Yuushi Ozuki subconsciously frowned along with her and carefully recalled his experiences of the past few days.
He thought about Jinjing Hospital from the family gathering, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he was in good health. He scratched his ear with a wry smile and shrugged, "I don't know..."
"well?"
"Because I didn't feel anything," Oshitari Yuushi had been observing this place for almost a day, and his guard had dropped a lot. "The only time I had anything to do with ghosts was when I ran into you on the stairs."
"Wait a minute," Suzuki Sonoko interrupted, raising her hand. "...that psychopath standing still on the stairs is you?"
Yuushi Ozuki wanted to say: I didn’t move, but my heart was moved!
But the scene was clearly inappropriate, and this guy, looking at the ghost lady with an expression of disgust, really used the word "lunatic" without hesitation...
"I'm not crazy," Ozuki Yuushi said, his expression perfectly awkward. "It's just that when I was going upstairs, I happened to remember the campus ghost story, and suddenly I felt like counting the stairs to see if there was an extra step, and then I ran into you—"
He didn't have the same hidden agenda as when he was taunting the expert. Instead, he explained, as if he was too embarrassed to speak out, "I always feel a little embarrassed to be seen doing such childish things by cute girls. I suddenly don't know how to greet them."
very good.
The villain in Yuushi Oshitari's heart suddenly clenched his fist: He looks gentle and mature, and it is easy to be mistaken for the type who is good at socializing with the opposite sex (in the words of Taketo Mukai, he has a face that has been through many flowers).
But actually in terms of age, he is younger than Suzuki.
This kind of childish personality hidden under the rational appearance is not only very appropriate for the time, but also just right to highlight the innocence that is completely different from his appearance!
——I even naturally praised her as a "cute girl"!
Ozaki-kun calmly thanked the male protagonists in romance novels who had a bumpy love life: Without you who kept making mistakes, how could I be the well-rounded person I am today?
However, Ms. Suzuki's reaction was different from that of all the heroines.
In fact, Miss Suzuki didn't even have time to react before the expert guy watching on the sidelines naturally started to steal the show.
He smacked his lips at Oshizuka Yuushi, crossed his arms, and said, "You want to go downstairs for no apparent reason, probably because you've seen a ghost."
"well?"
As a member of the unpopular project team, once the magic research was put aside, the expert brother would take turns on duty at the institute, and he could barely be considered an expert in psychic powers.
"A hospital isn't a school, and no one's whispering weird things in your ear. You're in a completely unrelated place, and you suddenly have this inexplicable impulse. It's obvious you've been bewitched."
He seemed very satisfied with the shocked look on Oshitari's face and continued, "In a place like a hospital, with a staircase around the corner, it's a good thing you ran into His Highness Suzuki. Otherwise, when you followed your instinct and stepped down the stairs, you would have rolled all the way down the stairs."
Yuushi Oshitari felt that his worldview was slightly shaken.
So he subconsciously looked up at the "female ghost lady" in his definition.
The unromantic ghost girl met his gaze without blinking: "Why are you looking at me? I'm your savior~"
Yuushi Oshizuka lowered his head and scratched his hands in disappointment.
"So, don't get upset," the young man said forcefully, his hands spread out. "We're not professional sorcerers, after all. We can only rely on equipment to confirm that your magnetic field has weakened, and we don't know how to deal with it."
"Did you know that when earthbound spirits catch scapegoats, they leave a mark? You're probably carrying one right now. If you come out of the isolation chamber and get possessed by a ghost by accident, it'll be troublesome!"
"How many days will he be kept in prison?"
The expert held his chin and thought for a moment: "Two days?"
Yuushi Oshitari: "Will my magnetic field be restored in two days?"
"no."
The expert said, "Because it looks serious, we called a shrine maiden from Ise Jingu Shrine to call you."
"But it's summer, and there are more monster festivals. There are only a limited number of shrine maidens left in the shrine, and the reservations are backlogged for more than half a month."
"We've cut in line," the expert said carelessly, "Don't worry. Wait for the witch you've booked the day after tomorrow afternoon to perform a ritual for you. Once we're sure you're alright, we'll send you home right away!"
Oshitari Yuushi: "Just...thank you?"
The young man shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "Look, in order to exorcise the ghost for you, we arranged an appointment with a genuine shrine maiden. Not only did she cut in line to show favors, she even paid for the appearance fee."
"Please understand the state organs, so - can you remove the question mark after the sentence "thank you"?"
Oshitari Yuushi: ...
Yuushi Oshitari: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Yuushi Ozuki sighed and turned his head away to avoid the refreshed expression of the man in the white coat, but ended up meeting Suzuki Sonoko's thoughtful face.
"Suzuki-san?"
Suzuki-san ignored him and stared at him persistently for half a minute, then suddenly turned his head.
Sonoko asked the expert, "You just said that if he hadn't bumped into me in the stairwell, he might have died?"
Expert: “That’s right.”
Sonoko asked again, "Then... can I remove the mark that's messing up his magnetic field?"
The expert was a little surprised.
How to say it, because Suzuki Sonoko did go through the inauguration ceremony, the people under her really regarded her as the second-in-command. The attitude of the people in the research department when treating her was similar to their previous attitude towards the King of Gold.
They would report the situation and propose solutions, but they would never consider Wang Liliang as a reference factor.
——The Golden King is such a good fighter, but if he has to personally deal with everything that happens, then what is the point of the rabbits in the Royal Guard?
——Do what suits your position.
The Golden King is the king, so he is only responsible for controlling the general direction, and the rabbits will help him do the beatings;
The responsibility of Suzuki Sonoko, the "puppet emperor", is to act appropriately and walk around when she is needed to represent the authority of the Imperial Pillar Tower, to ensure that her halo, which is favored by the law, can accurately cover the entire Imperial Pillar Tower.
If there are any physical problems with the experimental subjects, the researchers will naturally contact people to deal with them.
But do you think she can get rid of the filth?
Of course you can.
As for how to do it specifically...
"You can try to think about it."
The guy who knew Suzuki-dono's special ability nicknamed "Wish Come True" said: "If it doesn't work, you can try a head massage."
The so-called "Moding" is a common religious practice in which believers kneel down to offer sacrifices while others stand up, and then use their palms, which are said to be shrouded in divine power, to pour light and blessings into the believers' crowns like kneading dough.
Suzuki Sonoko: "...I'm serious."
The expert then turned on a screen near the "cage", and the machine monitoring Yuushi Ozuki's magnetic field began to beep rapidly.
The young man explained, "When it rings, it proves that the person inside has an abnormal magnetic field. However, the frequency of the ringing has become lower now. It seems that Your Highness does have an inhibitory effect on filth."
However, this suppression also has certain limits. For example, the dripping sound that represents an abnormal magnetic field will no longer change when it slows down to a certain limit, and it will not completely return to normal just because Yuanzi is standing next to it.
"That's why we need a shrine maiden to perform a ritual," the young man said, lighting the device. "The shrine maidens offer sacrifices to the gods and gain power through practice. When faced with something like this, they don't simply suppress it, but purify it directly."
In the expert's opinion, Her Highness Suzuki is a person with special abilities called "Wishes Come True". Although this ability sounds idealistic and god-like, she may not know much about the true Shinto.
But Suzuki Sonoko is a god.
Although the transformation was not very comprehensive, Sonoko remembered it clearly. What Yato said was that she was now not much different from an ordinary God of Fortune: Look, those people in Soul Society have always treated her as a princess from Takama-ga-hara, right?
So she turned around and knocked on the wall next to her, signaling to the boy: "Turn this thing off."
The young man thought that Her Highness Suzuki had an aura that suppressed filth, and with her in this room, no ghosts would come to attack Shinobi, so he generously entered the password and closed the cage.
The next second, before Ozuki Yuushi had time to experience the long-lost freedom, Suzuki-san, who was half a meter away from him, suddenly made a solemn gesture and shouted in all seriousness: "I wish you the best!"
The tone was full of twists and turns, as if chanting scriptures.
Ozuki Yuushi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "...Thank you?"
"cut."
There was no need to look back, the dripping sound in her ears did not get smaller. Sonoko looked at Ozuki Yuushi with a puzzled expression, jumped twice on the spot, and wondered if he was really going to rub her head?
But in modern society, it’s strange to make others kneel down for no reason, right?
As she thought this, she slowly walked in front of Oshitari, then raised her hand decisively, and when the "believer" did not kneel down, she pressed her palm, which was said to have divine power, on the top of Oshitari Yuushi's head.
Not to mention, this guy's hair is quite nice to touch.
Yuushi Oshitari is more than ten centimeters taller than Sonoko. At this moment, this distance is just enough to make it seem ambiguous when observing closely from above.
——If it were an ordinary romance drama, this distance would probably only be broken when the hero and heroine were about to kiss.
However, what is being filmed now is a fantasy drama.
So, Miss Suzuki, who was standing in the heroine's position, looked stern, turned her head with great momentum, and asked the expert in front of the equipment loudly: "What's going on now?!"
The young man counted the seconds and said, "The beeping frequency... seems to be slowing down again."
That means it’s useful!
Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief and carefully rotated her palms, drawing circles on the top of Oshitari Yuushi's head.
Yuushi Oshizuka felt a little stiff.
Because he is well aware of the suspension bridge effect, this purely physiological heartbeat is actually discounted a little in his opinion, but discounting it does not mean that it does not exist.
As a normal teenager, if you are so close to a person of the opposite sex who is two years older than you (please ignore situations like subways and buses), you will always have some reaction, even if it is because you are shy.
He felt an uncontrollable heat slowly creeping up his cheeks, and within a few seconds, even his earlobes felt engorged.
Fortunately, Suzuki was staring at the instrument with deep hatred, and for a moment he did not notice anything abnormal about him.
Yuushi Oshitari closed his eyes and took a few breaths, trying to find a topic to divert his attention (he didn't dare to move because he was afraid of death. Yes, he didn't want to be captured by the ghost as a substitute at all, and he would definitely cooperate actively with the treatment).
But Suzuki was standing half a step in front of him, and Shinobu's brain was full of serious and casual topics, such as "What is this machine used for?", "Why do they call you His Highness?", "The person in the cocoon next to me is Yukimura from Rikkai University, right?", "What exactly is your ability?", "Has Kirihara Akaya left?", "Your gold bracelet looks pretty good."
In the end, he struggled to control the rampage in his mind and did not bring up such a delicate topic as "I smell mint in your hair", but he also did not have time to turn it into seemingly great nonsense like "Technology is so advanced".
He asked, "Why would Suzuki-san want to help me?"
Suzuki Sonoko was taken aback by his question and rolled her eyes nonchalantly: "Aren't you unhappy about being locked up?"
"well?"
Oshitari blinked, "Am I being too obvious?"
wrong……
"I mean," he sniffed, ignoring the intermittent smell of mint, "it's okay if I'm unhappy, why does Suzuki-san care so much about my feelings?"
Suzuki-san sighed deeply.
"After all, we almost became a family," she looked up at Oshitari, "right, former brother-in-law?"
I feel like I was suddenly hit by an arrow, Ozuki Yuushi tilted his head and thought, where else did this subtle heart-piercing feeling come from?
Over there, Suzuki Sonoko, who had stabbed someone without realizing it, was still blabbering, "Although we ended the relationship through negotiation, we only met once, but there's nothing wrong with Ken. He just changed his mind because a better candidate (Kiryu Rei) appeared. It's really not our family's fault..."
"This matter is over."
[Because I feel sorry for Kenya, I treat him well.] This realization instantly aroused Ozuki Yuushi's annoyance. He retorted with the words Suzuki Sonoko had said before, "You already helped me once in the stairwell, my lifesaver."
His speech speed was obviously faster at this time, and the crisp and clear ending tone was somewhat revealing. However, when Shinobi lowered his eyes in frustration almost unnoticeably, the delicate palm that had been making circular motions on the top of his head suddenly increased its strength.
Suzuki Sonoko looked as if she didn't notice anything. Under Ozuki Yuushi's surprised gaze, she seriously corrected him and said, "Including this time, I have saved you twice."
That expression is very much like an orange cat counting dried fish and reasoning with its owner.
In his mind, Yuushi Ozuki naturally crossed out "the time when Suzuki owed Yuushi Ozuki (Kenya)" and "the time when Suzuki saved Yuushi Ozuki (Yuushi)" from both sides of the equation, and then naturally came to the conclusion that "Yuushi Ozuki owed Suzuki one time."
There is nothing else involved in this relationship equation, only him and the humanoid orange cat in front of him.
So he couldn't help but feel a little happy, and slowly agreed, "Yes, you saved me two——"
Before the syllable of "two" was finished, the beeping sound indicating the abnormal magnetic field completely disappeared. The expert standing in front of the machine naturally pulled out a device that looked like a recorder from the pocket of his white coat.
Then he raised his hand and swiftly poked the thing into the back of the dark blue head of the Oshitari boy.
=====
The last scene that Yuushi Oshitari saw before his memory was completely swallowed by black was the white four-fifths profile of a brown-haired girl that he saw from top to bottom when he fell in the white.
The picture was mottled and crude. Oshitari guessed that he might have fallen on her, so that his vision flickered so fast and blurry that he couldn't even distinguish the color of the girl's eyes.
so……
Who is that?
When he woke up in a hotel room next to the Kanei General Hospital, Yuushi Oshitari felt an inexplicable sense of weightlessness as if he didn't know what day it was.
He wiped the cold water off his face with a wooden expression, and looked helplessly at Keigo Atobe who was standing by the window with his arms folded.
There was a water-stained glass at the young master's feet. He had every reason to suspect that the water on his face was splashed from this quilt.
There is basically no need to guess the murderer.
"Minister Atobe," he chose this title deliberately, "don't you think this prank is too childish?"
However, the young master of Tomokazu, who had splashed water on someone's face, was very good at making excuses. Not only did he not apologize, he also sneered arrogantly.
"Do you still know what childish is?"
"Um?"
Atobe Keigo snorted with a stern look in his eyes. "How old are you, Oshitari Yuushi? Don't you know you should report anything before doing anything? When you called me, you said you'd take your father's car back to Hyotei, but you disappeared overnight. If it weren't for the 48-hour limit for missing persons, Uncle Eiji would have already called the police, okay?!"
Yuushi Oshitari was scolded with a confused look on his face, and when Atobe saw his expression, he became even angrier.
"...We've been searching for you all day since we found out you were missing, and you ended up sleeping in a hotel room right next to where you disappeared? If you hadn't been in a meeting, you'd probably have been slapped in the face by your father the moment you woke up."
The young master slammed the table and said, "Are you so sleepy that you didn't even call and tell me?!"
Oshitari tugged at the front of his clothes without feeling any real emotion, thinking to himself that his mind was a blur. He hadn't gotten sleepy yesterday, but he might have gotten sleepy today.
Then he thought something was wrong: "Hasn't room service come yet?"
Atobe sneered as if he really wanted to hit him: "Do you remember that you paid for three days' room yesterday? If they hadn't found out that you didn't eat lunch and didn't come out for dinner, who would have taken care of you?"
Yuushi Oshizu tried very hard to recall yesterday. He only remembered that he met someone from the Feng family in the hospital garden, and then... then he ran into someone else, it seemed like he ran into several people, and then he delivered some information to his father, and then...
Then, seemingly feeling bored, he took a walk along the street in front of the hospital gate.
He seemed to be tired from walking, so he found a place to rest...
Yuushi Oshitari felt that he might have slept too long (according to Atobe's timeline, he slept for almost 40 hours), and his brain was rusted. He supported his forehead and rubbed it slowly, and suddenly hit it hard.
Atobe: ...
Atobe: "You're already stupid enough, stop hurting yourself."
Yuushi Oshizuka suddenly knocked himself again, and a familiar scene suddenly flashed through his mind. After he took off his glasses, his pupils, which had widened a little, suddenly sparked a burst of light in the depths of his eyes——
——In the vast white picture, he saw the four-fifths profile of a brown-haired girl who seemed to be nestled in his arms before his vision turned upside down.
"Who is that?"
The unusually accelerated heartbeat pulled him back from his trance. Ozuki Yuushi hurriedly regained consciousness and searched for his eyes, rubbing his forehead repeatedly. "That perspective must have been me. I was so close to her, she..."
"who is she?"
The gorgeous voice that suddenly interrupted her concealed suppressed anger and worry: "Can you still distinguish between dreams and reality?"
Yuushi Ozuki wanted to say that you poured such a cold glass of water on me, and it woke me up no matter how confused I was. He tried to distinguish the picture, but he could only see a four-cornered or five-cornered emblem on the pink lapel, and then his heart began to beat.
The girl lying in his arms, the old-fashioned kimono, and the emblem...
He shook his head vigorously, and a few vague thoughts flashed through his mind.
Why do they call you His Highness?
Your hair smells like mint
This kind of ambiguous feeling couldn't possibly be fake. Thinking of this, Ozuki Yuushi was suddenly shocked: Did he... encounter a female ghost?
"You're overthinking it."
The young master, who had listened to his ramblings throughout, raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "The surveillance camera at the intersection clearly captured you walking a few steps from the hospital into the hotel (this was manipulated by Fei Shiyuan). Even if you encountered a female ghost, it was only in a dream."
Unexpectedly, the sleepy Oshitari-kun showed no sign of regaining consciousness after being mocked. He suddenly raised his head, two serious flashes of light flashed across his face, and asked Atobe with an inexplicable expression: "Maybe?"
"ha?"
"I mean," Ozuki Yuushi still frowned, "maybe I really saw a ghost in my dream?"
Atobe Keigo was silent for a while, as if he was trying to gather his patience to avoid killing Hyotei's genius on the spot. Then he took out a gem-like pendant from his neck and hung it in front of Oshitari Yuushi without saying a word.
Oshitari: "Xiao Jing?"
"I told you not to call me Xiao Jing!"
The young master shook the pendant, and after a few seconds, the light green gem actually emitted a layer of lustrous light in a very mysterious way.
Atobe Keigo breathed a sigh of relief without a word, then returned to his evil, mocking expression, as if he wanted to destroy Oshitari a hundred times. "My grandmother asked for this thing. I can't tell you what it does, but it turns red when it touches something dirty."
"Then I—"
"You're very healthy!"
Atobe Keigo pinched the pendant that stopped shining the moment he put it back around his neck, and said through gritted teeth, "You're much healthier than me!"
When the two of them returned to the Atobe residence by car, Oshitari Yuushi still had not returned to normal.
Atobe sat on the sofa holding a glass of hot milk, observing him for a long time with an unclear expression, then snapped his fingers tentatively: "Yushi, are you sure your brain is okay?"
Oshitari was so caught up in a logical deadlock that he completely ignored this rare title.
etc……
He suddenly had an idea and stood up on the spot, startling Tebe who was halfway through drinking milk.
"What are you going to do?"
Oshitari looked straight into his eyes and said word by word, "That dream may not be false."
Holding the tissue box, Atobe fiercely promised: "I guarantee that you absolutely did not see a ghost!"
Oshitari shook his head.
He said: "The dream is real, and she is indeed not a ghost——"
"That means you're delusional."
Oshitari Yuushi's heart was choked by his words, and he sat back down helplessly, saying softly, "You don't understand that perspective."
"I wasn't dreaming like in a movie. I actually saw that scene from a first-person perspective." He paused and said, "Do you think it's possible that it's just a memory?"
Atobe thought for a moment, showing a rare cooperative attitude, and said, "Unless you were only 10 years old in my dream, at least in the five years since I've known you, there has definitely been no such literary plot."
"I mean..."
The navy-haired boy's face showed a gentle and affectionate expression, as if the more he recalled, the more confused he became, yet also like a romantic longing. He spoke softly and in a low voice, "Atobe, do you believe in the memory of the soul?"
"ha?"
"I mean, could it be that she, and the scene of me falling into her arms, is a memory from my past life?"
Atobe Keigo said he was amazed.
The more Oshitari thought about it, the more it made sense. He eagerly listed the fragments he had gathered from his mind: "She had long hair, wore an exquisite kimono, the style was very wide, with a polygonal pattern on the chest, her hair smelled of mint, her wrists were very white, and she had a gold bracelet..."
Whenever he thought about these details, his heart would beat uncontrollably.
The blue-haired young man shook his head, dismissing those thoughts. He concluded, "And one last time. She was lying in my arms, and then I slowly fell..."
Atobe raised his eyebrows in a cold manner and calmly interrupted his hysteria.
"From this description, you must have died of passion in your previous life."
"Stop messing around, Jing," Inuzaka said with a "tsk!" "I'm serious!"
Okay...
Young Master Keigo Atobe frowned almost imperceptibly. He knew something about his background, otherwise he would not have been so obedient as to wear the pendant.
So, he stopped picking on Oshima and reluctantly accepted the logic, thinking about the qualities that Oshima had mentioned in bits and pieces: "The use of spices, the wearing of gold, and the family crest on the lapel."
"If this really was the situation hundreds of years ago," he snapped his fingers, his voice rising with a hint of a smile, "then you might have slept with a princess in your past life~"
"right!"
Oshitari Yuushi completely ignored the sarcasm hidden behind this analysis, narrowed his eyes and nodded seriously: "Yes, I remember-"
"Someone did ask her to come down..."
Yeah?
Atobe Keigo felt that he shouldn't cooperate with this guy's performance. Just keeping his mouth shut and being amazed would be enough of a friend!
The genius of Ice Emperor, who had calmed down from his excitement, seemed to have finally come up with a logically complete plan, and had somewhat recovered his usual playful rationality. Now he narrowed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, and you couldn't tell that it was him who had been acting stupidly for a long time.
"I'm talking to Atobe-kun."
The Ice Emperor's military advisor chuckled, "What was that expression on your face just now?"
The minister of Bingdi was not threatened at all. He raised the corner of his eye and his deliberate arrogance almost overflowed with a dazzling light.
"Why, I can't laugh when you act stupid?"
Oshitari shamelessly admitted his previous gaffe, and then said mercilessly: "Do you think you don't look stupid when you are stunned by the news about the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family?"
"ha?"
The young master was incredulous: "When did I become dazed?"
"When you get excited, you always like to call yourself 'Uncle'..."
"Ben, when did I get excited?"
"So you want to listen?"
Yuushi Oshitari blinked, took out his cell phone which he hadn't seen for a long time, and picked out a recording file from the bottom of the folder.
Atobe Keigo: "What... is that?"
Oshitari shrugged. "It's probably the same content you gave Kenya before, like how you relied on well-reasoned analysis to prove that you were definitely Ms. Suzuki's ideal type."
"That woman means more to me than just superficial things like that," Atobe said, emphasizing his words. "She's the witness of my transformation!"
"To borrow a famous phrase, she's the woman who 'turns you from a boy into a man'?"
The words of his mother's friend suddenly flashed through Atobe's mind, and surprisingly he did not refute his definition.
"But growth and transformation and all that, while it sounds sensible, it's also pretty common."
Oshitari-kun shrugged with a smile, "Compared to this, a love that lasts a lifetime may seem like a commonplace trope, but in terms of feasibility, it's actually more rare for my princess~"
My, Princess?
Atobe narrowed his eyes with an indescribable expression: He really got into the role so quickly that he almost said such a disgusting name naturally...
wrong.
Atobe Keigo said disdainfully, "Is it really something to be proud of to fall in love with a woman who may have been dead for hundreds of years?"
Oshitari Yuushi nodded his chin thoughtfully and corrected him with a smile: "If he still remembers Her Highness after reincarnation, then it clearly shows that my love for him has lasted for hundreds of years, okay?"
He placed his hand on his chest and said sadly, "I'm such a sentimental person..."
"That's enough," the young master raised his hand to signal a pause. "What do you mean by liking someone for hundreds of years? If you continue to be disgusting, I really won't be able to sleep tonight."
"What's disgusting about it?"
The Oshitari boy raised his eyebrows coldly, "I can at least say the word 'like'. You're inferior by comparison, aren't you? I've liked her for several years, and even accepted the hypocritical line 'she transformed you into a man'. And yet, your description is still 'not as superficial as 'like'?"
"Not superficial liking—isn't that love?"
"Hello!"
"Come to think of it," Oshitari Yuushi leisurely lifted the glass of milk in front of him and said, "Except for the time when I accompanied Kenya before, I greeted him out of politeness. Atobe, you..."
"Have you spoken to Ms. Suzuki?"
Atobe Keigo: ...
Atobe Keigo: Haha.
"It seems that there is no more."
Yuushi Oshizuka sighed, a man of experience. He closed his eyes and fell on the sofa, recalling the vague image of the girl in his dream and feeling the throbbing in his heart that he had never felt before. He said slowly, "You know, Xiao Jing, I just found that the feeling of my heart beating faster when I think of someone... is actually so strange."
"so what?"
"So I want you to feel it too!"
wrong.
"You already have such a person, you can feel it yourself."
"I already said it wasn't—"
Oshitari acted like he was drunk on milk, his movements were very decisive and swift. He raised his hand to signal him to shut up and said, "But your situation is different from mine now~"
"Aside from remembering this person and that she smelled like mint, I can't even remember the princess's name. Even if I'm moved, it's just for fun. As for you—"
"The Suzuki family hasn't made any moves to recruit a son-in-law for so many years. Miss Suzuki is still single, right?"
“It’s so rare to meet someone you like!”
"Look, I died in the princess's arms in my previous life. Maybe the story behind that was particularly dramatic. I tell you, when I think of her now, my heart flutters. This proves that I didn't regret dying in her arms at all!"
"You said that if in a few years, the Suzuki family finds a son-in-law that suits their taste..."
"Are you just going to keep silent about her news and watch Miss Suzuki succeed in her blind date and actually marry and have children with another man?"
Atobe Keigo: ...
Atobe Keigo: It hurts, bastard!
The author has something to say: Oshitari's amnesia is not complete because he was just touched on the head by the Great Fortune God (that is, Sonoko), and he accidentally blocked it a little.
Do you know what the suspension bridge effect is used for?
In order to help Oshitari-kun recognize the reincarnation of true love through the throbbing of the soul!
I wrote Atobe and Oshitari like they were best friends...
For details of the recording of what Oshitari said, please see Chapter 79.
So best friends shouldn’t talk about their partners casually. How embarrassing would it be if they were all alone?
However, this Shura Field is still missing a leading actor. Let me get the Holy Grail first!
