Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 8 The Water on the Door
At seven o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

Arakawa got up, dressed and washed, and then went downstairs.

The strange thing was that neither his father nor his mother were there. He came to the table. There were a few slices of bread and a glass of milk on the table, and there was a small plate of fried bacon next to it.

He thought for a while, and as usual, pulled out a note from the bottom of the plate.

"Dear Xiaowang, my dad and I are going to work, the bacon is already fried, let's eat something casually in the school cafeteria for lunch
——I love you, Mom. "

Looking at this note... To be honest, although he was a little happy, he was a little overwhelmed.

In his previous life, he didn't have parents, and he had been with a bad old man for a while, and he didn't feel the affection of his parents.

Nozomi Arakawa twitched the corner of his mouth, and it was a smile.

It's not a bad feeling either.

He folded the note and put it in the drawer under the TV.

After breakfast, he rode his bicycle to school. Since the school in Shikocho was not far away, he didn't have to take the tram every morning.

The street view along the way is very good, with residential buildings erected on both sides of the road.The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the street corners of the yellow line are covered with petals, and the wheels of bicycles are speeding past, bringing the cherry blossom petals flying.

Stepping on the pedals of the bicycle, Arakawa Wang felt a little excited.

Speaking of which, this is the first time for him to go to school, and he has never had much chance before, but now he can finally experience life as a student.

Near Sakurai High School, there were more students wearing brown school uniforms around.

Nozomi Arakawa braked at the school gate, pushed the bicycle to the back of the shed, and found an empty place to lock the bicycle.

There was a chuckle in my ear.

"Ok?"

At this time, he noticed another group of people not far away, which were four girls, doing something around a bicycle.

They blocked the view, and Arakawa Wang couldn't see what they were doing next to a car, but he didn't mind his own business, but walked straight to his classroom, there was still 15 minutes to go to class, there was no need to Waste of time here.

Arriving in Class B of the second grade, Nozomi Arakawa followed his memory to find his seat, the last row was next to the window, from which he could see the playground and gymnasium below.

He looked to his side, it was empty.

"Strange, there are no tables and chairs?" Arakawa thought.

It's a little strange, there should be four seats in the last row, the two people on the opposite side naturally occupy two seats, Nozomi Arakawa occupies one, and there should be another seat next to it.

But I'm too lazy to think about it, let's build a good relationship with the classmates around me first... After all, the friendship between classmates is very important.

Looking at Arakawa...

No, to be precise, when Bai Ke was still a kid, he once picked up Japanese Wang Dao Hot Blood comics in the trash can, in which the protagonist and companions can control each other, the kind of beautiful friendship that saves friends in times of crisis For a time, Baike, who lived in a snail's nest under the overpass, was very moved.

Arakawa looked around, the students were chatting and laughing, but they were probably divided into several small groups.

He observed for a while, there were circles made up of beautiful girls, circles made up of top students, circles made up of handsome guys, and circles made up of game nerds and ordinary classmates.

After thinking about it for a while, Arakawa blinked.

I am in this class... seems to be that kind of marginalized figure?
That is, the kind of passerby who has no sense of existence.

I shouldn't, I'm not bad looking, shouldn't I be in the circle of handsome guys?

Even if you can't get into the circle of handsome guys and beautiful women, at least it's not too much to be in the circle of game nerds, right?

However, no matter how much Nozomi Arakawa searched in his mind, the only memory he got was the boring life of this body's "three points and one line" every day.

Going out - school - going home, living a mechanical life every day, going to school to get out of school.

Few friends at school and not taken seriously.

It is said that girls have said hurtful things like "He has a handsome face but a rather gloomy personality".

Nozomi Arakawa sighed, and gave up the idea of ​​talking to his classmates.Usually such a "transparent person" would be disgusted if he suddenly disturbed others.

Just as he was about to take out the textbooks from his shoulder bag, his eyes were blindfolded and it was dark.

"Guess who I am?" A somewhat familiar voice sounded.

"Okamon is to the left?" Arakawa said casually.

"What! Thanks to me, I still treat you as a brother!"

One hand moved away from Nomo Arakawa's eyes. It was a guy with a cropped cut. Just by looking at his face, one might think that this guy looked like a delinquent boy, with a bit of scorn.

"I'm Daisuke Zhongshan! Could it be that you haven't remembered my name, you gloomy man."

"Oh, so it's you." Arakawa Wang remembered.

This guy seems to have been bullied shortly after the start of last semester, but later "Arakawa Nozomi" secretly followed the gang of school violence people and secretly filmed their actions and posted them on the Internet to make it known to everyone. In the last few days A person who was violent on campus dropped out of school because he couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion.

It was precisely because of this opportunity that Daisuke began to "harass" Nomo Arakawa from time to time.

It can be said that Daisuke is one of the few people who is willing to get in touch with Nozomi Arakawa.

"How is it? Are you feeling better?" Daisuke asked Nomo Arakawa, "I heard that you were in a car accident and you were discharged from the hospital so soon?"

"Well, because it's not very serious." Arakawa Wang replied.

"Recently, I heard on TV that a group of mad dogs were biting people in the city." Daisuke said seriously, "I heard that the victim was gnawed until only bones remained."

"Don't worry, it should be fine." Arakawa Wang waved his hand, "Just be careful at night, just don't run around at night."

Arakawa Wangxin said that your worries are unnecessary.

Because that ghoul has already said goodbye to the world.

"By the way, why is there an empty seat next to me, not even a table and chairs?" Arakawa Wang asked curiously.

"Tsk, you know what you're asking." Daisuke smacked his lips, "It's the same as before."

"Same as before?" Nozomi Arakawa raised his eyebrows, and looked at Daisuke's eyes to the corner behind the classroom.

There was a table and chair there that seemed to be covered in dye.

Then a red object caught Nomo Arakawa's attention.

He looked towards the back door of the classroom. The door was ajar, revealing a gap, and above it was a red basin, which should be filled with water if nothing else happened.

"Hey, is that used to tease the teacher?" Arakawa Wang said and was about to get up to take the basin down.
"What are you doing?" Daisuke hurriedly grabbed Nomo Arakawa, "Don't go! Do you want to die?"

"What do you mean?"

Arakawa looked at Daisuke, and Daisuke was startled by his slightly cold gaze.

"That's not for teasing the teacher. In short, you just stay the same as before. What kind of hero are you rushing up to at this time? Do you want to be the target of public criticism?" Daisuke's tone was a little anxious.
