Chapter 73
After entrusting the younger version of Hoshikawa Kazuaki to the care of Hagiwara Kenji under the identity of Kagamino Satoshi, Kagamino Satoshi was ready to leave this dungeon at any time.
Before entering the dungeon, Satoshi Kagamino, Hoshikawa and Akira had just met again under the witness of Kenji Hagiwara.
If all goes as expected, after Satoshi Kagino returns to the main timeline, the story will continue from the time when the three met.
However, Kagino Satoshi did not know at this time whether he would continue to exist as Kagino Satoshi or return to the identity of Hoshikawa Kazuaki.
Faced with a situation that was completely out of his control, Kagino Satoshi was still a little nervous. He tried to recall what he was doing before entering the dungeon.
However, perhaps it was because a long time had passed, and he could not guarantee that he would remember every detail.
So when Hagiwara Kenji was already driving him back to Asai's apartment, he simply leaned back in his chair, pretending to be very tired. In fact, he had already opened the comic book, trying to recall the details of what happened before through the comics in the forum.
Satoshi Kagino originally thought that with the insertion of the rescue mission in this dungeon, the forum comic would have a lot of new content.
However, what he didn't expect was that this time, for some reason, the forum comic did not include the content of saving Kenji Hagiwara in the comic.
After opening the book, the story still stops at the foot of the hill where Hoshikawa and Akira appear at the children's welfare home. Hagiwara Kenji still drives the red Toyota he used seven years ago, bringing the much-grown Kagano Satoshi to Hoshikawa and Akira.
Looking at the last page of the comic, it was the same comic that I had seen in the copy page, the one with three people in the same frame that directly led to the opening of the copy.
Why was such a major event as rescuing Hagiwara Kenji not included in the documentary? Kagino Satoshi frowned, puzzled.
But one thing is certain, the comic book will definitely not deliberately ignore this plot just because it is not the main timeline.
After all, it is the same copy event. The rescue process of Date Kou has been fully included in the forum comic, so there is no reason why Hagiwara Kenji's cannot be included.
However, in the character setting, although Satoshi Kagino has advanced computer technology, he does not understand comics techniques.
If Hoshikawa and Akira were here, they would immediately understand that the manga was intentionally pushing this plot back. They were planning to release some plot twists later and put the relief part into the manga for comparison, thereby enhancing the dramatic effect of the manga.
Fortunately, Kagino Satoshi was not the type who liked to think over and over again. After finally bidding farewell to Hagiwara Kenji, he thought silently in his heart:
Maybe for Hagiwara Kenji, the next meeting will really be a long time later. But for me, it was just a blink of an eye.
After returning to the apartment, Satoshi Kagino opened the copy page of the comic book. At the top was still the eye-catching title "Copy 2, Kenji Hagiwara's bomb countdown, completed."
On the current copy page, the original picture of Satoshi Kagamino, Kazuaki Hoshikawa, and Kenji Hagiwara had disappeared. Instead, it was the seven-frame rescue comic that Satoshi Kagamino had drawn in the comic space.
However, perhaps because Kagino Satoshi's comic skills are completely different from when he played Hoshikawa and Akira, the seven-frame relief comics in front of us have obviously been modified from the comic book, and the entire picture is more professional and beautiful.
Satoshi Kagino was silently mocked by the comic book.
He curled his lips in dissatisfaction, then simply ignored the comic, then found the button marked "Return" at the bottom as if he was familiar with it, and clicked it without any hesitation.
Once again, the familiar world spun around, and the dungeon world in front of him was instantly stirred into a huge vortex, with infinite suction pulling Kagino Satoshi into it. When he regained consciousness, he had returned to the world of the main timeline.
This is a really novel experience.
He once again returned to the perspective of Hoshikawa Kazuaki and became the 18-year-old high school cartoonist again.
However, the interesting thing is that as long as he wants, he can become Satoshi Kagamino again, and the Satoshi Kagamino of seven years later, who is already 19 years old.
There seems to be an invisible channel of consciousness connecting the two vests, linking the spiritual worlds of the two people at the same time, but carefully separating the consciousness of the two people so that they can become independent individuals at the same time.
Just like the thing that blocked the communication channel between the two young boys inside and outside the wall seven years ago, it has disappeared with the awakening of Xingchuan and Ming now.
The different vests with the same soul finally showed the connection they should have.
The young boys once walked around the wall and finally met each other seven years later.
At this moment, Hoshikawa, Ming and Kagamino Tomo looked at each other.
To the other people present who knew that the two actually knew each other, the two old friends who had not seen each other for a long time were so excited that they were speechless. Just by looking at each other's eyes, they could read the joy and gratitude in each other's hearts.
But the reality is...
Kagino Satoshi: Is it so strange to see myself from my own perspective? I can see how fake Hoshikawa Kazuaki's smile is, and I can also see how natural my own handsomeness is from Hoshikawa Kazuaki's consciousness. Ah - comic books are so discerning!
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: What you mean by handsome is crying your eyes out until they look as ugly as a red-eyed rabbit, and pretending to be pitiful in front of everyone?
Kagino Satoshi felt the ridicule coming from Hoshikawa and Akira's consciousness, and immediately raised his hand to wipe away the tears that he had not had time to hold back, then put his hand down angrily and glared in the direction of Hoshikawa and Akira.
However, Kagino Satoshi was already thin and frail, and his face was pale and fragile under the emotional turmoil. He stared at Xingchuan and Ming with wide eyes, as if he was in disbelief when he first saw an old friend after many years of separation, which made him, who already looked very well-behaved, even more lovable.
At least when Hagiwara Kenji, who was standing nearby, saw this scene, as a reliable friend and brother, he finally felt infinite emotion in his heart, thinking, "These two awkward kids finally meet each other."
During these seven years, as the only person who knew about and connected the two people's relationship, he had to counsel and worry about both sides openly and secretly. Now that the two people finally dared to face each other, he inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment.
He gently placed his hand on Kagano Satoshi's shoulder and said with a smile in an encouraging tone:
"Now that you've met, don't miss the opportunity. Go talk it out and apologize sincerely. I believe that Xiaoxing will definitely forgive you because of her kindness and gentleness."
Kagino Satoshi didn't say anything, but his eyes were clearly filled with shock when he looked at Hoshikawa and Ming.
Kagino Satoshi: Ha! How can a scheming person like you be gentle? How did you even deceive Kenji?
Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who was smiling gently the whole time, said: So, you must be sincere when you apologize!
Kagamino Tomo's face flushed with anger, and he turned around and walked towards the path up the mountain without caring about other people's reactions. But to others, it was obvious that he was shy again and was eager to escape from the scene.
Xingchuan and Ming felt amused in their hearts, but the smiles on their faces became gentler. They did not explain further, but simply invited everyone to go up the mountain together.
Everyone looked at each other, and saw the same idea in each other's eyes:
This is clearly a case of being suppressed to death!
