The Beautiful Boy at Yokohama Crossing

When Yuumi Liang woke up, unexpectedly, he was not in the hospital, but in the auditorium of "Battle of Kings".

Sitting next to him were Quetzal and a group of shop assistants.

Yuumi Liang stood up, thinking that maybe he could continue to participate in the competition...

"Shop Manager, are you awake? It just so happens that the battle for the king is over, and now the awards are being presented."

Yayoi said.

Yukura: ...

What a human tragedy this is!

"Speaking of which, we were lucky. We happened to meet the medical team of the competition group. The doctor diagnosed that you are fine and you will wake up in a while...then they brought you here."

Yuuki was silent.

His gaze shifted from Yayoi's awkward smile to the awards ceremony on the stage below.

Standing in the first place is his old enemy - Hisaishi Kwan!

The host is loudly using the microphone to introduce the great achievements of Hisaishi Kwan... the re-elected king!

What the host was saying, Yuumi Liang couldn't hear for the time being, leaving behind the content of his dream, and now watching his old enemy who bowed his head to accept the medal, there was nothing but sorrow in his heart.

The shop assistants around were all paying attention to the shining No.1 on the stage, with excited expressions, as if seeing an idol.

Hisuishihuan... Although he is a bit older, isn't there an old saying that goes well?

'The more experienced a man is, the more attractive he is' or something like that...

Yayoi and the shop assistants looked at it and suddenly felt the eyes of resentment on their backs. Those eyes were born in the scorching summer and made them feel the cold of winter.

Looking back, the source of that gaze was Yuuki Ryo.

The store manager uttered a word slowly, the tone of which was repeated one after another, sharp and thin, and seemed to be scratched with rough lines on the taut strings, which was harsh and unpleasant, "You might as well send me to the hospital~"

Dodging everyone's eyes, he said with a sneer, "Ah...hehehe..."

It's hard for them to just say that they want to see Hisaishi Kan!

"Humph!"

One and two are all traitors!

Yuki Liang condemned this group of unsteady shop assistants with a sharp gaze, and praised the only quetzal who was not instigated.

Cuckoo: ^-^

Standing up, Yuki Liang embraced the cuckoo and walked away, saying sourly: "Let's go, the awards ceremony is over, there is nothing to see."

The clerks still sat there stupidly, apparently wanting to watch the whole process with them.

"Mr. Hisaishi will also leave. The rest of the time is for large social gatherings. Mr. Hisaishi is not interested in this."

Yuuki Liang opened his mouth to give the shop assistants a head-on blow, and brought their sanity back.

"Oh, let's go then."

You Muliang led the way, like a mother duck leading a group of ducklings, and the ducklings behind her followed suit.

Go down the stairs from the auditorium and go to the side door.The group of people was silent, and it would not be obtrusive to be missing a handful among the large number of spectators.

From the side door to the edge of the small land, you have to pass a toilet. Coincidentally, you ran into another group of people.

The members of the Armed Detective Agency and Hisaishi Kan, who just won the first place.

Hisaishi Kan is the manager of the coffee shop on the first floor of the dilapidated office building, and the Buteis on the fourth floor often come to the coffee shop as guests.

In previous years, the detective agency had entrusted them at this time, but this year they finally had the time, so they were naturally enthusiastic about watching the store manager's competition.

Of course, it was the first time they came to see the coffee competition and found out that the store manager downstairs who usually does not show his strength is so powerful!

"The store manager is amazing!"

Atsushi Nakajima leaned next to Hisaishi Kan, chattering non-stop.

Hisaishi Huan said modestly, "Where..."

"It's not just the local coffee shops in Yokohama who come to participate, but also many from other places. It's amazing that the store manager can break out from the siege of many parties and win the first place!"

Yosano Akiko is Hisaishi Kanbuki.

Coffee is her favorite, and Yosano Akiko is equally appreciative of Hisaishi Kan who makes good coffee.

In Yukira's team, the clerks' eyes lit up from the moment they saw Hisaishi, "Mr. Hisaishi!"

The members of the military reconnaissance team heard the words and looked.

"Ah, isn't this Manager Yuki?" Miyazawa Kenji scratched his head, "What a coincidence!"

Dazai Osamu was originally walking at the end, and when he saw Yuugi's team, he stepped forward, and raised the corners of his lips, "Yuugi is also the manager of the coffee shop, right? I didn't see you in the king battle~ Could it be..."

Looking at Osamu Dazai's malicious expression, Yuuki could guess that what he said next would definitely not be good.

He passed Dazai Osamu and walked towards Hisaishihuan, expressing with actions that he didn't want to talk to him.

"Mr. Hisaishi, congratulations."

he said softly.

——This young man looks familiar?

Hisaishi Kan was stunned for a moment, and then searched for Yuuki Ryo's identity from the surnames that Miyazawa Kenji and Dazai Osamu had called out earlier, thinking of his deeds in the past few years, there was a little sympathy in his eyes unconsciously, "Thank you. "

——The young man has good talent, but he is a little unlucky.

Yuuki Liang froze from this look.

He moved the muscles on his face, but the size of his eyes didn't change at all, which seemed like a half-smile.

Nodding to Hisaishi Kan, Yuuki Liang tried to remain calm.

He looked straight at Hisaishi, "Mr. Hisaishi, please be sure to keep the throne until you are defeated by me."

He spoke provocative words in a flat tone.

Hisaishi-kwan raised his eyebrows with a relaxed expression.

He patted the young man's skinny shoulder, and his tone was encouraging from the front wave to the back wave, "Then you have to work hard! Young man."

Hisaishi Kan is quite tolerant towards juniors who have potential and strength. He doesn't take Yukura's disrespectful words to heart at all, and is even happy to see his juniors full of vigor and drive.

Actively provoked, but was tolerated and encouraged by the other party...

"……I will."

For a moment, Yuuki felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

He thanked him politely, turned around and left in a trance, forgetting about the clerk who was left behind, and almost having the same hands and feet.

Clerk who stayed put:  …

After looking at each other with the Butei team for a while, the clerk realized that the store manager really forgot about them.

Without the constraints of the store manager, the clerks also unabashedly showed their respect for Hisaishi, "Manager Hisaishi, can you give us an autograph?"

"OK."

···

On that side, Yuumi Liang was walking home alone.

Returning to Yokohama by boat, I didn't show any signs of seasickness--it wasn't seasickness in the first place.

Youth is alone.

There is only a quetzal in his arms, which is about to merge with him.

Away from the arena, without the interference of old enemies and shop assistants, he can now calm down and think about his memory.

First is the black mist.

Yuukura spread out his palms, palms facing up.

Wisps of black mist emerged from between the fingers, intertwined and changed in the palm of the hand, forming small tentacles.

"It turns out that this ability... belongs to that thing..."

Only now did Yugi Liang understand where the mimetic attack came from his intuition that the ability with an attack power equal to about zero came from.

If it's not bad, it's all because of the tricky operation I made before I fell into the sea and fell into a coma...

By accident, he was not eaten by the strange creature, but absorbed its power.

At the same time, the ability that was not fully integrated has undergone some mutations under the action of another force, and has attack power...

After waking up, I couldn't use my abilities probably because I was still in the process of mutation, and my original ability "Treasure of Heaven and Earth" completely disappeared after spending several years coordinating the abilities of two powerful strange creatures.

This also explains why the supernatural powers that existed after the first fusion of the boy in black disappeared inexplicably afterwards.

"Where you gain, you will lose..."

Yuuki stared at the balls of tentacles on his palm. When they were viewed alone, each tentacle was only the size of a fingernail.The four pointed claws are spread out, there is no toughness that belongs to the bones, only petite ones, which can be stretched and contracted at will and soft.

He gained the attack power that the auxiliary system could only dream of, but lost a life-saving ability...

He couldn't figure out what his young self was thinking when he was on the boat, but if it was him, the sentence 'I'll be fine' he told the mountain god meant that his supernatural power could prevent him from dying.

Strange creatures attack the same kind in order to devour the opponent's power crystals. Experimental subjects like them are half human and half strange, and once they die, they cannot extract the crystals.

Generally speaking, a strange creature that has lost its power crystal has only a dead end... But he still has half of a human body, and the supernatural power will repair his body, and he can even adapt to the ocean environment and survive.

But from this point of view... It seems that the young self didn't tell the mountain god that he had supernatural powers?

"It's understandable. After all, it was because of it that my family betrayed me. If I'm afraid of being betrayed a second time, I won't tell anyone..."

Yuuki was thoughtful.

The quetzal in his arms looked at the tentacles, obviously not understanding why Yuumi Liang let them out, it stepped on the young man's arm,

"Chirp~"

The young man looked down at the quetzal's shiny green feathers, and said suddenly.

"Are you right, Mountain God?"

"?!"

The cuckoo paused for stepping on his hands.

Lifting his head upwards, the pale yellow beak just touched the young man's lowered jaw.

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other in this awkward posture.

For humans, the defect that the closer the distance is, the more blurred things are, is absent here on both sides.

What they see is still a clear image.

Chowder spoke nonchalantly, trying to take the initiative, "Jiu Gu~"

——Who is the mountain god?Have you found a new love again!

Yuuki Liang's amber eyes looked from bottom to top, there are more pupils in the eyes and less white eyes, the whole eye seems to be drowned by the color of coffee, unfathomable and immeasurable.

Just when the cuckoo thought that the youth would stare at him forever, Yuumi Liang let go of it, and raised a hand to unbutton the collar that was tied high around his neck.

"yes--"

Under the incredulous eyes of the quetzal, Yuki Liang gave the quetzal an affirmative answer.

The collar was turned down, revealing her fair skin.

A silver chain passed through the sharp collarbone, sinking into unreachable depths.

Before Quetzalnu could take a closer look, Yuuki roughly pulled out the silver chain and put it on the surface of the clothes.

At the bottom of the silver chain, there are two thin oval signs, one of which is engraved with 'Serial C-01'.

Another is engraved with 'Serial B-01'.

Yuuki Ryo pointed to 'Sequence B-01' with deep meaning, and said to Quetzalmo, "If you don't work harder, you will never catch up with him in my heart."

"Which do you think is more important, the cinnabar mole in my heart or the cheap bird that I delivered to my door?"

Quetzal: O-0

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

Angry birdsong spread throughout the streets and alleys.
