What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

For Ye's question, Hao didn't seem surprised.

After taking another sip of coffee, he replied: "He is a reassuring person, but unfortunately, he will never be my companion."

Neither a friend nor an enemy.

He couldn't be regarded as a companion, but he couldn't be said to be a complete stranger either.

The person who has mind-reading skills and can't see through his thoughts is always walking on the edge of such an ambiguous dividing line. He doesn't know when he will cross the boundary, and after disturbing the calm water, he stays away again without hesitation.

However, one thing is very clear.

—That is, he will not stay.

"Hehe... that's right."

Hearing this, Ye suddenly laughed.

"Okay... no, my brother, you should be able to read what I'm thinking right now?"

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a kind of vigilance. If I used mind reading skills on Ye at this time, what I read would be very bad.

However, the long-term inertia allowed his mind reading skills to still work.

That is--

Three months ago, the battle meeting of the psychic conference was the first time that Hao officially appeared in front of Ye.

[I am very satisfied with your strength, how is it?Do you want to come to be my future king - "good" companion? 】

This Ye's memory is completely viewed from the perspective of a third party, so as to reach out to the young man lying on the ground in order to avoid the attack of the soul fire.

The young man smiled and grabbed the boy's outstretched hand, and replied:

[Well, thank you for your compliment, you are also very good.However, when the future king is too lonely, why don't you be my companion? 】

——Being the king of the future is too lonely, why don't you be my companion?

With the movement of picking up the coffee cup, Hao closed his eyes to calm down, then opened them again, and drank the coffee in one gulp.

"Let's stop here today, I'll treat you, because I'm your brother." He said, getting up from his seat, "Hey, Patch, how much?"

"Ah, yes! Chenghui 751 yen..." Dalim straightened his body involuntarily, and quickly changed his words under the pressure of Hao, "No, our store only provides cups and coffee machines, how dare you take money Woolen cloth……"

Seeing the recovery, the young man tilted his head to watch him oppress Darim, and grinned as if he found it very interesting.

"Really, that's really lucky." I ignored Toya, waved his hand, and finally greeted Ye and walked out of the store, "Ye, let's take a bath together next time."

Leaf, who was left alone, took a coffee cup and sat next to Fuyuya.

Dalim (under Diarmuid's smile) tactfully left the front desk and went to the back kitchen to wash the cups.

"Did you have a good chat?"

"Yeah." Ye nodded, looking at the melted milk foam and caramel in the coffee cup, "Mr. Fuyomi once told us, 'It's not like that kind of person' - even though I could understand it at that time, I was still skeptical. But...now, I can be sure."

Ye raised his head, "Mr. Fuyuya's words are correct." He was talking about the conversation that happened at the exit of the player tunnel after the first game.

Fuyuya showed a bright smile, "That's right?"

"Well... To be honest, well... Brother, he puts too much pressure on people. In the past, I always thought about how to defeat him. But now I have changed my mind. "

Ye slowly stated his thoughts, "As a psychic, he is indeed the strongest, but he also has weaknesses. When I am no longer obsessed with defeating him with fighting and suppressing him with strength, I will Only then can we see...his strength is to cover up his weakness."

Ye did not say, good weakness.

Because that's something they both know very well.

"Well...with you here, I feel much more at ease. Tomorrow's game will be you and Lian, right? Let's work hard."

"Don't worry, no one will lose to me now."

After saying goodbye to Ye, Toiya was going back to the dormitory.

"Diarmuid, there are so many forests on this island... Strange, did we walk through such dense forests when we came here?"

After walking in the woods for more than half an hour, Toya spoke.

It is normal for the uninhabited island to be densely forested. After all, apart from the contestant area developed by the Paqi tribe, only the camps of the three major forces are still somewhat popular.

But the entire uninhabited island has a limited area after all. Even after [-]% of it is covered by forests, these forests are gradually divided by human activities. As far as the area of ​​a forest is concerned, it is impossible for people to walk for half an hour. The above, not only can't see the edge, it seems...more dense?

Diarmuid looked serious, "Master Fuyomi, this forest..."

Indeed, the forest that covers the sky and the sun is more appropriate to describe it as a "forest" than a "forest".

Moreover, compared with the sparse forest on the uninhabited island, Diarmuid has seen a forest that is more similar to this place.

Receiving the prompt, Fuyuya lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist.

In the past few months—to be exact, after they passed through the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara and arrived in the world where Ye was, the dial that only had the second hand moving a small grid every day began to rotate normally.

……

"Time flies so fast."

"Yeah, five years have passed before I knew it."

The 21-year-old Asakura Ye smiled and looked at his brother who kept his 16-year-old appearance. There were many cats gathered around him, and he was holding one in his arms. It had gray and black patterned back hair, and only the fur color from paws to forelimbs It is a big pure white cat that looks like it is wearing a pair of white gloves.

"Xiaobai has grown up too, won't it be tiring to hold her like this?"

"--got used to."

When you see a white glove, you will think of its former owner and what happened at the psychic conference five years ago.

"Although Mr. Toya disappeared suddenly, I always feel that he left by himself."

"That's right, that guy should still be alive somewhere...just not in this world." In a sense, the boy who had become an omniscient and omnipotent god replied.

Ever since he became a god, he has searched for traces of that person in every corner of the world, and he has gone through the great spirit from beginning to end many times, but there is no clue.

Even so, I can still feel that that person is still alive somewhere, but—if I have to say it, as he said, he is probably not in this world.

"Brother...do you still feel lonely?" Looking at the god surrounded by cats, Ye couldn't help but think of the saying that cats will be close to lonely people.

"Hehe, the current me is all over this planet, wind, water, flowers, trees, grass leaves, sky... What you see in front of you is just a small part of the conscious body, so you can't say whether you are lonely or not..."

——It’s still the same, I like to talk hard.

Now Ye can slander Lord Shenming without any scruples. Although he has become a Lord God, he has lost the ability to read minds. Whether it is for good or for others, Ye thinks it is a good thing.

"In short, it's enough to see that you are doing well. See you next time, Ye."

"Ah, see you next time, brother."
