Aoi Keisuke and Shiraishi passed by each other. Although there was no communication, just looking at each other was enough, as if this trip was just for this.
I wonder if Shiraishi has such a consciousness?
Qing Keisuke felt that a mysterious force suddenly traveled throughout his body, and finally merged into his heart and turned into heat, which again spread through every capillary blood vessel in his body.
Ah... It was a feeling of happiness like a full stomach. Qing Keisuke took a deep breath and felt the spiritual growth all over his body, leaping towards a higher level.
Then he started running hard.
The sunlight in the distance gradually rises from the high-rise buildings, and the tops of the high-rise buildings are gradually wrapped in golden color, like fried golden and crispy tempura, exuding aroma from a distance.
The clouds over Tokyo are particularly thick today and have clear layers. As the wind at high altitude moves horizontally, it looks like rain may fall in the afternoon.
Qing Keisuke ran until he was nearly ten kilometers away from Chuanyan Village. In front of him was a slender river bank with green water flowing shallowly and gently into the distance.
Beside him, several children on bicycles rushed over, shouting that they were going to catch the rhinoceros.
They stopped at the convenience store across the bridge and used their vacation change to stock up on snacks for their adventure. The owner of the store was an elderly lady wearing a pair of reading glasses. She also kept sending the children to the door of the store to remind them that they needed
Note that it may rain today.
When the old shopkeeper turned around and saw Qing Keisuke, he was startled for a moment, then he smiled and waved to him, motioning him to come over.
By the time Aoi Keisuke walked across the short bridge and arrived at the door of the convenience store, the old lady had already taken a bottle of water and walked out again.
She smiled kindly and said: "This is the first time I have seen a young man running this way. I will give you this bottle of water. Look at the sweat."
Qing Keisuke hesitated for a moment and took the water.
"Thanks."
"Where did you come from?"
"Shinjuku." Aoi Keisuke added the approximate location of the apartment.
"Oh my! It's so far there! Even if you take the tram, it will take a long time to get there!"
"I'm in a good mood today and ran a little further."
Qing Keisuke sat down on the bench in front of the convenience store and drank half a bottle of water in one breath.
"Today's young people are really amazing. Are they insisting on drinking milk?"
"Well... that's not entirely true. You should eat more meat and exercise more."
"What kind of meat are you eating?"
"Beef?" Qing Keisuke answered uncertainly.
"Yeah, it should be beef. Neon people have been eating fish and haven't grown much stronger."
He was chatting with the old convenience store owner. Before the summer heat arrived, the rain that was originally expected to arrive in the afternoon suddenly fell.
"Wow——"
Big raindrops hit the awning, breaking into pieces and sliding down the tarpaulin.
The elementary school student who was excited to catch the rhinoceros just now rushed over from the other direction on his bicycle, making strange screams.
"Slow down! Come here first to take shelter from the rain!"
"No, Granny Asai, we are going to Sekiya's house to play games!"
"Then ride slower!"
Before she finished speaking, she and Qing Keisuke couldn't even see the rear tire of the bicycle.
"Today's young people are really good at driving." Aoi Keisuke stood up, moved his body, and prepared to start again before the temperature cooled down.
"It's easy to catch a cold when it rains," Asai advised.
"It won't happen if you don't stop." Qing Keisuke said goodbye to the old shopkeeper and thanked her for her small kindness.
He ran into the rain curtain, and the raindrops fell on him, giving him only a pleasant feeling.
Qing Keisuke could feel that his spirituality had improved greatly again, as if he had an "epiphany", his mind broke through the existing shackles, and gained broader freedom and power.
——He seems to have a better understanding of what "people" are.
Before blaspheming the good customs and principles that have been passed down for thousands of years, he must first understand them and understand the weight of these principles in their hearts.
Qing Keisuke suddenly thought, is he who is trying to break the rules still considered a real "human", or is he just a monster in human skin?
"..."
At the intersection when he was about to run back to the apartment, he suddenly stopped and reached out to cover his mouth, but laughter could not be suppressed and flowed out from between his fingers. He thought about the answer to this question.
Maybe that's the answer.
On the deserted street, Qing Keisuke began to seriously analyze the nature of himself for the first time——
It doesn't matter whether he is a person or a monster, the only thing that must be carried out is his will and ambition!
It’s okay to call it despicable greed or shameless morality!
At this moment, a force gathered in his hand, and eventually this mysterious force turned into a dark stone sword symbolizing authority.
It is said to be a stone sword, but it is actually more like a black gemstone, about fifty centimeters long. Every edge of the guard and the sword's blade exudes a gorgeous and noble black light.
"The Demon King's true self is anchored here!"
The morning rain that enveloped Tokyo bears witness to this.
…
Qing Keisuke returned to the apartment building. It was supposed to be a time for housewives to come out, but because of the heavy rain, there was no one downstairs.
He simply blocked off the rain, used his spiritual power to steam dry his body and clothes, flew directly from the outer wall to the balcony of his apartment, and returned to the apartment.
The magical black sword appeared out of thin air, but he spent a lot of effort to turn it into a spiritual part and take it back into his body, instead of choosing to place it in the pure domain of Hanako No. 1.
This also shows the importance he attaches to this sword.
After taking the elevator back to the apartment, my fully charged mobile phone received a message from Shiraishi Chizuru, as well as several missed calls, asking him if he wanted to take shelter from the rain at Kawagamso.
After receiving the message more than half an hour ago, Qing Keisuke simply replied that he was already home, looking for a change of clothes and preparing to take a hot bath.
In addition to Shiraishi Chizuru, there are also dozens of messages accumulated by Nakagawa Yuto early in the morning - he happened to see Hirra-chan's song last night, so XP has a tendency to change his evil ways, and his love at the beginning was very
fanaticism.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qing Keisuke ignored his message and started reading the next one.
Hoshino Fujiko: "If you have something to do when you go home, no one will open the door for you in the activity room, so don't cause any damage."
The eldest lady was worried that Qing Keisuke would knock down the door and tear it down.
Qing Keisuke: "Copy that, what are you doing when the president goes home this time?"
"Work, duty."
Hoshino's reply was very quick, which unexpectedly gave Qing Keisuke a feeling that she was very irritable.
But being able to attribute the matter of returning home to "work" and "obligation" is enough to explain the problem, right?
He replied with an expression of admiration, and took a photo to share the size of his bathtub with club members, thereby making Fujiko Hoshino, who was about to go home, feel even more unhappy.
At the end of checking the news in the morning, Arisugawa shared with him a chapter fragment from a book he was reading recently.
"Do you think I'm going to stay and become nobody to you? Do you think I'm just a machine - a machine without feelings?
Do you think I can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my mouth, and my drop of living water thrown from my cup?
Do you think that because I am poor, humble, unattractive, and short, I have no soul and no heart?
——You are wrong!
——I have a soul just like you!
——Also has exactly the same heart!
If God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I would have made it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you. I am not following you now by custom, conventionality, or even by mortal flesh.
Speak, but my soul is talking to your soul, as if we have both passed away and we are standing before God together as equals——
Because we are equal!"
Qing Keisuke soaked in the water and looked at the text in the picture, the heroine's confession to the hero, and the more valuable self-confidence and dignity after she opened her heart of love.
It took a long time, until he was ready to stand up, before he replied to Arisukawa:
"Well, people are equal, even in love. What is the name of this book?"
