If Tokiwa hadn't shown up, Otkotsu Yuuta would obviously have stayed in this closed space all night.

No, not necessarily. Once Riko realizes the situation, she will definitely rescue Otkotsu Yuuta. But if that happens, the building will probably be destroyed.

Tokiwa looked at the lock that he had broken on the ground with a distressed expression - he didn't think much about it just now, he just wanted to open the door. But if the school lock was broken, it would cause trouble for Otkotsu Yuuta, right?

Otsutsuki Yuta noticed the damaged lock, because this Inugami-sensei was not a strong and sturdy physique, and could even be said to be thin and weak, so he did not think that it was Shiwu who directly broke the lock, but just thought that the lock itself was broken.

"Thank you, Inugami-kun." Otsutsuki Yuta pursed his lips and smiled gratefully at Shiwu. He knew very well why the other party came to school at night.

Shiwu blinked, returned a smile, and then thought that there was nothing for him to do, so he turned around and planned to leave.

Otsutsuki Yuta was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after him. Under the puzzled eyes of the light-colored boy, Otsutsuki Yuta hugged his schoolbag, and he tightened his grip on the bag.

But under the gaze of the young boy, he immediately forgot his hesitation and invited him subconsciously without thinking: "Well, that - Inugami-kun, are you willing to come to my house?"

For so long, he could only see the other party in the park. It was okay when they didn't know each other, but now that he has been helped, Otsutsuki Yuta can no longer ignore this.

The boy with purple eyes looked a little surprised, and just when Otsutsuki Yuta thought he was going to be rejected, he saw the other party pointing his finger at him and tilted his head.

- Although there was no dialogue, Otsutsuki Yuta still realized what the other party meant through this period of time.

He was asking: Can I?

Otsutsuki Yuta nodded: "Of course!"

Then he saw that the light-haired boy's eyes became bright in the next moment - just like a child who was invited to play at a friend's house for the first time.

Otsutsuki Yuta couldn't help laughing.

Shiwu:?

"By the way, how did you know that I was locked up here?" Otsutsuki Yuta did not answer Shiwu's obvious question, but asked this question instead.

Shiwu pointed to the ground, where Otsutsuki Yuta's shadow was elongated by the moonlight. Then

Otsutsuki Yuta suddenly realized: "Is it because of Rikka?"

Hearing her name, the black curse queen suddenly appeared and surrounded Otsutsuki Yuta from behind as if hugging him.

No matter who saw it, this scene was very weird. A powerful black curse, and a thin boy caught in it.

However, the black-haired junior high school student who seemed to be "threatened" reached out and patted the cursed hand: "Thank you, Rikko."

Rikko didn't seem to understand what happened, but the emotional feedback from Otsukoi Yuta was enough to make her excited and happy. Rikko said coquettishly in a voice that would be shrill and painful to ordinary people: [I like, I like Yuta! Yuta - you're welcome!]

Shiwu looked at this scene and felt a little envious. Whether it was the long-term companionship and playfulness between them, or the love that could be expressed frankly.

[……]

Shiwu was stunned by the familiar ellipsis, and also laughed.

That's right, there is no need for him to envy Rikka and Yuta. After all, the system has been with him all the time, and the system is not human, so, it is enough.

"Inujuki-kun--"

Perhaps he noticed that he ignored his little partner because he was concentrating on Rikka. Otsutsuki Yuta just opened his mouth and called out Tokiwu's name.

At this time, the light-haired boy crossed his arms and made a big cross on his chest.

"Huh?" Otsutsuki Yuta looked a little confused, "What's wrong, Inujuki-kun?" Tokiwu

is not very good at making friends.

The concepts of partners and friends are different. He can fight side by side with his partners, but he may not be able to get along well with them in daily life.

In the lost memories, most of the time, he probably repeated a life without much difference.

But even Shi Wu knows that since they have reached the level where they can be invited home, then he and Otsukotsuki Yuta should be considered... friends? Shi Wu

does not think that the existence of the vest is a deception. If it were not for the vest, he would not be able to appear in these worlds at all, and would not have the opportunity to meet these people.

So even with the vest, it cannot hinder Shi Wu's desire to be friends with Otsukotsuki Yuta.

Although there is no way to recognize each other with the real body, there is nothing that can be done about this degree of small regret.

After expressing his refusal, Otsukotsuki Yuta seemed to react, and he tentatively asked: "Do you mean that you don't let me call you 'Gomuki-kun'?" Shi

Wu nodded with satisfaction.

Otsutsuki Yuta was stunned for a while. Not only was he good at everything, he also had no friends. To be more precise, almost no one wanted to get close to him.

Even though Rika would not show up at ordinary times, his temperament seemed a bit gloomy and he couldn't speak. In the eyes of other classmates, he was probably the type that was very annoying, right?

Especially after Otsutsuki Yuta showed his rejection intentionally or unintentionally, even if someone wanted to get close to him at first, they would give up because of his clumsy and cold behavior.

"If I can't address you as Inugami-kun..." Otsukotsuki Yuta widened his eyes slightly, looked at Tokiwu, and said cautiously: "...Ji?"

Tokiwu was happy. He stuffed the few candies he had just exchanged with the system into the hands of Rika and Otsukotsuki Yuta, and then walked to the opposite side of Otsukotsuki Yuta with a slightly faster pace. Because it was night, there were not many people around, and Tokiwu was not worried about bumping into them.

He took out a torn piece of notebook paper from somewhere and spread it out in front of him - the name [Yuta] was written on it with a marker.

There was no way to talk, so he could only call each other this way.

The collar of the black uniform covered the lower half of Shi Wu's face, but it did not hide his features. His delicate and clean features could still be seen. At this moment, his purple eyes sparkled in the moonlight.

Because the light-haired boy was walking backwards, the collar covering his mouth moved a little. From this angle, Yuta Otsutsuki could even see the other party's lips behind the collar slightly opening and closing, silently mouthing his name.

So Otsutsuki Yuuta also felt satisfied from the bottom of his heart. Before meeting Tokiwu, Otsutsuki Yuuta had always been alone. Because of Rika, his life became much more troublesome than that of ordinary people. He couldn't contact people. That feeling... For a human who needs to communicate, it was indeed too lonely.

So he took the initiative to sit on the swing and contact Tokiwu, perhaps because of this part of the reason.

At the same time, Tokiwu is really happy now-in the previous world, he rarely met people of the same age who could chat with him. Yuni is indeed about the same age as him, but Yuni is different. It is difficult to talk to each other with an ordinary attitude.

So this highlights the specialness of Otsutsuki Yuuta.

Not only is Shiwu the same age as the current Otsukotsu Kyouta, but because the other party is not a completely ordinary person, it is easier for Shiwu to become friends with the other party.

Shiwu will not deny that the reason why he initially had a good impression of Otsukotsu Kyouta and Utsuka was because of the familiarity with them.

- However, this familiarity basically disappeared after he really got to know each other during this period of time.

They are two completely different people.

Shiwu guessed that he must have had a very important friend in the past. That friend was a very good person, gentle and hardworking, who would take care of and protect his family, had firm beliefs - and loved to laugh.

These words can also be applied to Otsukotsu Kyouta, but it is indeed different. The emphasis of their personalities is not the same.

The more they get along, the more they can distinguish the differences between them.

Shi Wu would not force another person's image to overlap with Okkotsu Yuta - he only knew Okkotsu Yuta now.

Okkotsu Yuta's residence was not particularly far from the school, about a ten-minute walk away.

The file mentioned that Okkotsu Yuta had a younger sister, and he had a good relationship with her when Rika was alive, but after becoming a curse, Rika became extremely aggressive, which became the reason for Okkotsu Yuta to run away from home. In

other words, Okkotsu Yuta now lives alone.

This is probably the first time that Okkotsu Yuta has invited someone to his home besides Rika.

Yuta Otsutsuki was talking to Shiwu shyly: "Well, the place where I live might be a little messy..."

While he was talking, he put his hand on the door handle of his house. At this time, a young man with a crew cut walked out from the neighbor's house.

As if he accidentally saw Yuta Otsutsuki returning home, he used the tone of neighbors, which was neither intimate nor strange. The young man casually said: "Who are you talking to?"

Yuta Otsutsuki was startled: "I..."

But the young man with a crew cut didn't seem to care about the answer. He looked cold and said: "I heard that the security around here is not very good recently. Guys like you are easily targeted. Be a little careful."

Yuta Otsutsuki's relationship with his neighbors was not very good, and the young man with a crew cut was just talking casually. He muttered to himself, "I'm alone and I'm back so late. Who else should I be robbing if not you?"

...Alone?

Yuta Otsukoi's eyes fell on Shi Wu who was standing beside him. After he noticed his gaze and looked back at him with innocent and obedient eyes, he subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and said softly, "Sorry, Ji, I really troubled you today." Shi

Wu shook his head to show that he didn't care.

After Yuta Otsukoi opened the door and led Shi Wu into the room, he didn't see - or didn't care, the young man with a crew cut next door was looking at their closed door with a weird and confused look.

The crew-haired young man muttered, "Who is he talking to?"

Recalling the strange noises that occasionally appeared next door, and the gloomy temperament of Yuta Otsutsukoshi, which was hard to ignore, the crew-haired young man touched the goose bumps on his arm caused by a chill.

"Hiss..."
