Tokiwa was led into the Sawada family by Nana Sawada - it was actually a bit strange to look at this matter from a third person's perspective.

But the atmosphere between them made this sense of incongruity disappear before it even appeared.

Nana Sawada did not ask about Tokiwa's identity or why he appeared at the door of her house. Tokiwa did not say a word and was quietly led by Nana Sawada.

Nana Sawada asked Tokiwa to sit on the sofa in the living room, walked towards the kitchen, and then turned around when she opened the refrigerator and asked, "Is juice okay?" "

Of course!" Tokiwa looked at Nana Sawada with his sparkling eyes.

Once the fact that there is no relationship between the two of them is not emphasized, Shi Wu at this moment really looks like a fourteen-year-old boy - or rather, he was only this old.

The stable modern life is completely different from his past. There are no sudden dangers and enemies, no need to worry and be vigilant about ghosts that treat humans as food, and it is easy to get a peaceful and safe life.

Uni's voice rang in his ears, she said to him. This world is safe, without the dangers he imagined, and it will not collapse so easily.

This sentence also applies to this world - well, except for the collapse at the end. It

was a different story before he came to this world, but now that he appeared in front of this Sawada Nana, Shi Wu couldn't help but become hesitant.

He couldn't help but ask the system for Nana Sawada: "Is this world really okay? Don't I need to do anything?"

[No. ] The system's answer was as direct and crisp as always.

Seeing Nana Sawada smiling and taking out the iced orange juice from the refrigerator, Shiwu took this opportunity to ask again: "Sawada Tsunayoshi in this world..."

[It no longer existed when it was still an embryo. ]

Shiwu: "..."

[So you don't need to care about this at all. Nana Sawada in this world has never had a child from the beginning. ]

[You don't need to feel guilty for taking the other person's place. ]

Shiwu: No, I don't think so, I just -

Shiwu's eyes still followed Nana Sawada with a relaxed smile on her face, and blinked.

He just... couldn't help but think that if Tsunayoshi Sawada existed in this world, he would find a way to bring him to Nana Sawada no matter what.

But if Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't exist from the beginning, and he didn't disappear due to harm from others or an accident, then there would be no way.

Even if he went back to the past through the system, there was no way to save this non-existent "Tsunayoshi Sawada".

It's a bit of a pity. Tokiwu thought in his heart.

When Nana Sawada put the juice in front of them, the two people who looked very similar looked at each other like this, and a strange silence spread between them - it was not awkward, they just didn't know what to say. They looked

at each other like this. Nana Sawada and Tokiwu, like a real mother and son, couldn't help but laugh together.

Nana Sawada still didn't ask Shiwu how to call him. Yuni was right, even if the individuals in the parallel world are different, they are still the same person.

Even if Nana Sawada in this world has no children, she is still the extremely gentle person. Just like Nana Sawada in the main world never asked Tsunayoshi Sawada to do anything, the Mrs. Sawada in front of Shiwu just asked Shiwu a question.

"Are you happy?" She only asked this question.

In front of Nana Sawada, no one can help but relax and be happy. Shiwu raised the corners of his mouth without even realizing it: "Well, very happy."

His big eyes, which had remained bright and clear since he saw Nana Sawada, were now soaked with smiles and warmth.

"I'm very happy." Shi Wu said honestly, "Although the process...sometimes there will be difficulties, but I always have friends by my side."

"They are the best partners, brave, wise and strong." Shi Wu described the vague impressions in his memory, those beautiful and happy parts, to Nana Sawada in a calm and pleasant tone. "

No matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, they will not retreat." Shi Wu's mind flashed again.

The feeling that Yuni gave him - really familiar. That kind of clear eyes, as if knowing the future, no, Yuni can predict the future. Shi Wu suddenly remembered this.

But the fact that he could predict the future also made Shi Wu feel familiar.

That inclusive look, gentle smile, clear understanding of the future, voluntarily going to death, using one's own death as an opportunity - giving them the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Who is it? The feeling felt on Yuni.

The scent of wisteria flowers seemed to appear again, and the fragrance was rich but not irritating - but these slight floral scents were easily masked by the taste of orange juice. Shi Wu took the cup and took a sip of the juice.

Shi Wu remembered what Yuni said before about escape.

"Actually, I have been escaping." Shi Wu smiled at Nana Sawada, because the other's eyes were too gentle, so Shi Wu would not feel that there would be any problem in analyzing himself in this way.

Isn't amnesia a kind of escape? Because he can't face the real cruelty.

As he said this, the smile on Shi Wu's lips became softer and more obvious: "But this is also proof that I am happy enough."

"It is precisely because someone stands in front of me, stands beside me, and my partners have always taken care of me, that I have the opportunity to escape."

"They are all very good people." Shi Wu couldn't help but emphasize.

So Sawada Nana said: "Then, are you willing to tell me about them?"

The five-minute deadline has already expired, but Irie Shoichi did not send him back, nor did he ask him to go back immediately.

So Shi Wu also selectively forgot the time limit and said happily: "Okay!"

"Tsunayoshi-kun, five minutes have passed..." The monitoring device worn by Shi Wu completely recorded their conversation, but in addition to this part, the screen displayed more complex data one after another.

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the warm atmosphere and said to Irie Masakazu: "Wait a little longer."

"How long can you hold on?" he asked again.

Irie Masakazu's fingers kept pressing the keyboard, and he gave a countdown deadline.

"It can only be half an hour at the latest. If it's longer, I'm not sure I can bring him back and determine his coordinates."

Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, "I understand."

Sawada Tsunayoshi had no way of letting Tokiwu give up the opportunity to communicate with the other party and come back directly - even for him, it was difficult to deprive himself of his love for his mother and use pure reason to judge right from wrong.

At least, the longer he can stay, the better. Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but think.

Tokiwu's attitude was too straightforward. He realized that this was the only chance, so he seized it firmly. The little boy who didn't talk much and was quiet before has completely disappeared, and now all that's left is Tokiwu who keeps talking about one interesting thing after another.

Nana Sawada didn't mind him at all. Even if she repeated the same thing several times, she could still give different responses.

Time always passed unconsciously, and Tokiwa himself didn't even realize how much he had said.

Five minutes passed, and half an hour passed, and he still had endless things to say.

But the monitor made into headphones issued a warning, and Tokiwa suddenly froze in place.

The time is up, and he must go.

- He wanted to stay, stay by Nana Sawada's side. But he knew rationally that if he didn't leave, then there would be no way to rely on Tsuna Sawada and the others to save the world.

If he couldn't do this, this gentle mother Nana would disappear with the world in a year.

Nana Sawada noticed Shi Wu's unnatural pause, and she knew that Shi Wu was leaving without Shi Wu saying anything.

Nana Sawada seemed to have the ability to read minds, and her eyes were full of understanding, but she did not ask whether Shi Wu was leaving, but asked that question again.

"Are you happy?"

Shi Wu gave the answer he had already made clear, and gave Nana Sawada an exceptionally bright and warm smile: "Of course!"

The boy who had been passive took the initiative to hug Nana Sawada: "I'm very happy to see you."

Obviously, their heights are almost the same, but Shi Wu still imprinted Nana Sawada's face in his heart as if he was looking up. He smiled at Sawada Nana and said, "Someone told me."

"I was born to be happy."

Shi Wu looked up and looked at the warm brown eyes that were very similar to his own. "So, I want to share my happiness and joy with you."

He asked the same question: "Are you willing to accept it?"

He finally called out the name in front of Sawada Nana, and he said, "-Mom."

Sawada Nana put her forehead against Shi Wu, holding Shi Wu's face with both hands, and she closed her eyes: "Well, of course Mom is willing."

"The moment I saw you, I was already very happy."

"Good child. You were born of love, and you were born to be happy."

This is like a warm enough dream. This is the case for anyone between the two of them.

But it was daybreak, the mermaid turned into foam on the sea, and it was time for them to wake up.

Pink smoke appeared, and the child in Nana Sawada's arms disappeared. But she did not feel lost. She stared at the half-full of juice left on the table, and her smile was warm and gentle.

The warm sunlight outside the window fell on the wall of the half-full glass of juice, covering a layer of golden light.

Nana Sawada smiled and said, "It's such a good weather today."

After another tumble washing machine, Tokiwa returned to the ground of the main world in a daze.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Sawada Tsunayoshi smiling at him, so Tokiwa also returned a brilliant smile.

The barrier between him and the world was cracked because of Ryohei Sasagawa, and the barrier was melted because of Nana Sawada.

Shiwu really wanted to save that world - he didn't want the gently smiling mother Nana to disappear. He didn't want to let things take their own course, he wanted to take the initiative to do something.

The system explained to him that the way to save another world requires sufficiently stable and sufficient fire energy.

And that fire energy is not something that ordinary humans can do. The system briefly activated the cornerstone of that world, but it couldn't support it for too long.

But Shiwu's body is not human, he can get a large amount of sufficient fire through redemption -

Shiwu thinks he is great, as long as I redeem with the system, he can protect that world!

But the system will probably feel a little painful. The energy for redemption was all they had gathered with great difficulty.

But Shiwu is quite generous in this regard.

Shiwu told Sawada Tsunayoshi his thoughts with a frivolous mood - he said that he wanted to help, and he could do a lot of things.

Anyway, there is the system, and Flame can have as much as he wants! The worst that can happen is just a debt!

Just like he exchanged the useless [Kagemitsu Morobushi]'s memory and gave up [Ranpo Edogawa] before, Shiwu still showed this wasteful and willful mentality at this moment.

But Shiwu didn't expect that when he avoided the system and made this suggestion, Sawada Tsunayoshi's expression suddenly turned ugly.

The author has something to say: Shiwu: Did I say something wrong?
