Personality is to like [Comprehensive]

Yayoi Aoki didn't pay attention to the final ending of Taichi Yamata.

Because, she shoulders a more important task——

Being entangled by two little girls for several days, the Scarlet King, who was afraid of trouble, leaned on the sofa, unable to retreat, and could only nod tiredly.

"Long live...! Zun is the best!"

After cheering and high-fiving Kushina Anna, Yayoi Aoki slapped the ground, and ran to the kitchen to find Izumo Kusanagi and Tara Tokusa.Her joyful words could be heard clearly even outside the door.

"Tatara, Izumo-san! I agree! I agree!"

"Wow~ As expected, it's Yayoi and Anna. It's amazing!" Shishu Tatara's exaggerated and excited voice sounded immediately, "Hmph, let's show our talents together this time!"

Kusanagi Izumo had a bad feeling.

He worded his words carefully, throwing cold water on the two of them for nothing: "...It's just a birthday party. Don't make too much of a move for me, you guys. The matter with Scepter4 has just ended."

As a result, two people, one big and one small, turned their heads in unison, and even their eyes were exactly the same, as if they were created by CtrlC and then CtrlV.

"But it's King's birthday party, Kusanagi-san! It's hard to get King to agree to hold it~"

"There have been too many unlucky things for everyone recently, so of course we have to have a good time and have fun!"

Stared at by those two pairs of eyes, Kusanagi Izumo raised his hand and surrendered: "OK, OK, then I will leave the planning of this birthday party to the two of you. But you must approve it with me before you can start preparing. ?”

However, as soon as the words fell, the two rushed out of the kitchen and began to spread the good news to every corner of HOMRA.

Kusanagi Izumo sighed slightly.

"...It's better to wash the dishes before running away! Really. Forget about the little princess, why is this guy Shishu so childish! He is as good as a child!"

Seeing the military adviser deflated and leaning against the door, the Scarlet King laughed unconscionably.

Kusanagi Izumo lifted the rag, threw it on Zhou Fangzun's chest, and said coolly, "Hey! Sir, do you have a little bit of a 'troublemaker' consciousness?! Shishu ran away, come and wash the dishes for me."

Zhou Fangzun raised his eyebrows, but obediently took the rag, and carefully wiped off the water droplets on the dishes that Kusanagi Izumo had washed.

He used to be proficient in this kind of work - before he became the "King", he and Tokusuta Tara used to pass the time in this bar of Kusanagi Izumo, sometimes when the shop was busy, Kusanagi Izumo would Will rouse them unceremoniously.

Dazzling, several years have passed.

Lowering his eyes, Kusanagi Izumo turned on the faucet and rinsed the white foam off the plate.Amidst the rushing water, he said softly, "It seems like it's been a long time since this happened. Zun, I never thought that we... will be the same as before."

After being selected by the Dresden Slate, he was tortured by the tyrannical force that wanted to burn everything. Zhou Fangzun exhausted his strength just by suppressing his desire to "destroy". There was very little time, let alone come down and listen to the pack of wolf cubs.

In other words, Zhou Fangzun deliberately reduced the frequency of his appearance because he knew they were afraid of the "king".

But it's different now.

like a dream.

"Everything is getting better." Kusanagi Izumo handed the cleaned dishes to his friend, "So don't always think about those... things that are still far away—speaking of it, how is your quitting smoking? "

Zhou Fangzun smiled subtly: "Ah? Didn't you have a lot of fun watching the show recently?"

Finally unable to hold it any longer, Kusanagi Izumo slapped the table regardless of his image and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha! I didn't expect to honor you today! Have you finished chewing gum? I recently discovered a new strawberry flavor. Would you like to provide it again? You two cans?"

Wipe the last plate dry and put it on the table. Zhou Fangzun rubbed it with his fingertips, and the water droplets on his palm quickly evaporated into water vapor, and his skin became dry.

He looked at Kusanagi Izumo with pity, and reported the latest information.

"Don't laugh too much, Kusanagi. You'll be next."

——HOMRA's health guard, Yayoi Aoki, has arranged for the Red King. How could I miss Kusanagi Izumo, the second big smoking gun?

Feng Shui turns around, who does the sky bypass?

Kusanagi Izumo couldn't help but gasped, unable to laugh anymore.

……

………………

Therefore, the biggest event of HOMRA this year, Zhou Fangzun's 24th birthday celebration, has entered the intense preparation stage.

In order to maintain the sense of surprise and mystery, all the links were kept secret from the Red King himself. For this reason, the two planners also sent the "counter-type killer" Anna Kushina to follow Zhou Fangzun for 24 hours.

If it wasn't for Zhou Fangzun not having other residences, usually in bars, he might not even be able to enter the door of HOMRA.

He was forced to be dragged by Kushina Anna, and went out to press the road every day, so that the underground world of Zhenme Town, as well as the blue uniforms, tensed up from the beginning and almost drew their swords, but later they were not surprised, and even gave birth to gossip heart.

Even Munakata Reiji couldn't help being curious about a "coincidence" and wanted to participate in it. This may be a big news in Zhenme Town.

——Yaoshou!Shock!The Scarlet King was kicked out of his house by all his clans!Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature? Please look forward to the exclusive follow-up of Scepter4!

Izumo Kusanagi, who was continuously harassed by various forces, couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only deal with it one by one with a wry smile.

Zhou Fangzun's birthday is NO.13 in August.

Early in the morning of this day, there was a familiar knock on the door. Without any explanation, Anna Kushina dug Mr. Shouxing out of the bed again and pulled the door out to pass the time, so that HOMRA could be vacated for preparations.

Because of the imaginative tricks of Shishu Tatara and Aoki Yayoi, the estimated preparation time may take a whole day.

So the birthday party is scheduled to be held in the evening.

The bar was full of excitement, and Yayoi Aoki was busy fixing the red and gold balloons. Suddenly, the watch-shaped terminal on her wrist vibrated. , on the sleeve of Fushimi Saruhiko who helped hang the colored rope.

"Fushimi-kun! I'll go out for a while and I'll be right back. Tell Mr. Izumo for me."

Fushimi Saruhiko paused, trying to put the thing down: "It's so late, where are you going? I'll be with you..."

"It's okay~ I suddenly remembered that I forgot to buy a box for the gift I gave Zun. The supermarket is very close, and I will be back in a while. Fushimi-kun finished hanging, please help me tie another balloon? It's over there .”

Pointing to the cardboard box containing colorful balloons, Yayoi Aoki left in a hurry.

It's still the same, the wayward style of not knowing how to write the word "rejected".

The boy with gray-blue hair clicked his tongue, hung up the last piece of the colored rope, and walked obediently towards the cardboard box, and tied them in clusters according to the schematic diagram of ten bundles of Duo Duoliang.

……

Quickly picked out a beautiful red gift box in the supermarket, and tied a bow with golden satin. Yayoi Aoki held the box in her arms, but instead of going back immediately, she took a detour to an abandoned building. rooftop.

This time coincides with dusk, between the end of the day and the beginning of the night, which is what the Onmyoji called "the moment of encountering the devil".

The vast whole sky is wonderfully cut into two parts - half of the setting sun is like blood, and the setting sun is slanting to the west; half of it is blue with white, and the crescent moon is graceful.

And there are people standing on that dividing line, overlooking the vastness of sentient beings in various poses and with different expressions.

This scene reminded Yayoi Aoki of the same scene when she met HOMRA for the first time.

The body of a child is not good at running for a long time, she panted slightly, and approached the figure.

"Mr. Yu Shaoshen? What did you ask me to come out for? Is Ruu-kun doing anything? Why Kotosaka—"

Yu Shao Shen Zi directly interrupted her.

He turned his head, showed a proper smile to Aoki Yayoi, and opened his hands: "Little princess, do you like this evening?"

"Well... I like it!"

Although she didn't understand why Yushen Shaozi asked this question, Yayoi Aoki gave her own answer after serious thinking: "There are four seasons in a year, and there are three periods in a day. Every time has its own beauty. like."

"But I really hate this time."

Saying that, she laughed to herself, and Yu Shaoshenzi lowered one hand, and put the other under her lips, her posture was even a little girlish.

"Even if it looks grand, it's something that's about to burn out, lifeless, what to look forward to, let alone a 'beautiful' existence—just like you, little princess. "

The tone of voice is still gentle, and the eyes can't be said to be cruel, but in such a state, Yu Shaoshen Zi raised the hand that was hanging down before, and pointed the black muzzle of the gun hidden in the cuff at her body. people before.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The muffled (wooden warehouse) sound was not enough to alarm the passers-by under the roof, four bullets were fired, piercing through the limbs of the unsuspecting Yayoi Aoki, causing her to fall directly to the icy ground.

Not even exclaiming or screaming, as if the pain didn't exist, or in other words, it was simply tolerable, Yayoi Aoki frowned, and looked at Yu Shaoshen Zi who walked to her side in confusion.

"... Yu Shaoshen, sir?"

"Don't you have any resentment at all? These eyes. Ah~ah~ Sure enough, I still can't let you continue to live, little princess. Your eyes belong to those who are destined to die."

"Does it hurt? It's okay, it's just temporarily sealing off your Yin Yang technique. And this kind of injury can only last for a few minutes, right? It will heal soon."

Kneeling down on one knee, Yu Shaoshen Zi raised her hand to stroke Yayoi Aoki's side face, her eyes could even be called pitiful.

He gently wiped off the remaining blood splatter on the white skin with his fingertips, but after a few seconds, it turned into a little green fluorescent light.

"You are really amazing, little princess. You made Xiaoliu sway... He began to doubt himself, that beautiful posture that was as bright as a shooting star, which made me obsessed, is now like a pearl that has been dusted and lost its brilliance. This is all you fruit of our efforts.”

"But I really want to take a look at the 'brave new world' that Xiaoliu said—whether it is good or not, you have to try it to know, right?"

"You are different from Xiaoliu. Your flowers have withered before they bloom, and what you have been looking at is not the gorgeous bloom, but the end... Let me, with your death, dedicate to the new world. Cornerstone?"

The muzzle of the gun gently touched Yayoi Aoki's heart, Yu Shaoshen Zi looked at the silent little girl, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Look, little princess, you don't resist death at all. You really don't feel guilty about being a 'bad guy' at all. So tell me, what else can I do for you? Saying goodbye to you Before."

Noticing that the redness on the ground that should have been blood stains turned into green fluorescent light, Yayoi Aoki hesitated for a while before opening his mouth softly: "Mr. Yu Shaoshen, can you tell me what 'I' is?"

Yu Shaoshen Zi smiled softly: "I am willing to serve you."

Gajudu Meteor Crater.

The place where Bishuiliu was located at that time was very close to the center of the crater, and it can be said that it suffered the most terrible impact.He lost his heart in this disaster, and it was only by virtue of the power of the "royal man" bestowed by the Dresden slate that he survived the disaster.

At that time, at that place, it is impossible for any "person" to survive.

——"Yayoi" is not a human being.

She even said that "it" is just a part of the power overflowing from the "coronation" of the Dresden stone slab, attached to Bi Shuiliu's almost stopped beating heart, forming a mimicry.

Therefore, the "it" with an empty human form cannot respond like a human being; therefore, the "it" will have a natural closeness to the water flow; therefore, the "it" cannot be included in the clan.

The arrival of Yayoi Aoki injected soul into this blank body, making "Yayoi" start to look like a "person".

It was Yayoi Aoki's consciousness that told her that she would be hungry, tired, in pain, and even injured—but her flesh and blood were just the mimicry of power, which led to the rapid healing of the wounds on this body, and the blood flowed out of her The blood will also turn into fluorescence and dissipate.

This should be a secret that no one will ever know, but at the moment Yayoi Aoki chose to step into the center, she revealed the tip of the iceberg to the world.

— She was drawn for blood tests.

Although Takashi Mitsuchi and the subsequent incidents made the center temporarily forget the sample, but the sample did not disappear, and became the final proof of everything.

………………

……

"No wonder Mr. Yushenshao knows to attack the hands of the Onmyoji first to prevent the formation of seals... and that gun seems to have a special effect on the power of the stone. It should be provided by Mr. Guochanglu, right?"

Seeing that Yayoi Aoki was still calm, Yu Shao Shen Zi became more and more happy, and continued the conversation.

"Not really. That cunning big shot, he just acquiesced. I found clues, I broke into the center to collect evidence, I took away important experimental equipment—you said, he was expecting me Killing you, or expecting that you can survive?"

"Don't order it yourself, but don't you remind me? It really is Mr. Guochanglu's style."

The wound penetrated by the special bullet was more difficult to heal than imagined. Yayoi Aoki couldn't move, but closed his eyes tiredly: "It should be that he wants me to die. He doesn't want the power of the stone to escape outside the Kanto region."

That's why at that time, he abruptly asked her if she wanted to join Feishiyuan, and asked her if she would stay in Zhenme Town forever.

The second king, the king of gold, Guochang Lu Dajue... is a perfect leader and politician.He cannot be regarded as a good person, but he is not a bad person either. He stands firmly at the highest point and makes a judgment that is "favorable to most people".

Like a partner in the same camp, she thought about it and reminded her carefully.

"After my death, Mr. Yu Shaoshen, have you thought about how to deal with it? Zun and they will not let it go, and Mr. Guochanglu may also push you out as a way to appease HOMRA. Maybe Liu Jun and the others will also be angered. "

"Of course, I have my own way~" Yu Shaoshen Zi loaded the gun, and the corners of her lips curled up, "It's almost time. Is there anything else, little princess?"

Maybe dying at this moment is the "fate" arrangement of this world?

Yayoi Aoki suddenly remembered the prophecy that Anna Kushina gave her when they first met, and the hesitant to speak at that time.

- Don't get close to the 'King' anymore.

[It turns out that it doesn't refer to the respect, but the flow of water... huh? 】

【Really, Zai Dezun has always been concerned about this point. It took a lot of effort to make him happy. 】

Giving up on opening the king's treasure house, she suddenly laughed and closed her eyes: "Then Mr. Yu Shaoshen, please help me open the terminal, and give... um, give Fushimi-kun a call."

"Hey~ Sure enough, Xiaoliu guessed right. The little princess really likes that child!"

Yu Shaoshen spoke in a purple and angry tone.

As instructed, he turned on the terminal and placed it next to Yayoi Aoki's ear. He lowered his head and placed a very gentle kiss on the little girl's forehead.

"Good night, Yayoi. We will definitely get the Dresden slate. See you in the new world then, shall we?"

Trigger pull—

"boom!"

There was a tearing pain in his chest, but Yayoi Aoki thought in a daze: In the end, he went around and around, and (Mu Cang) killed him.Does this count as her plan succeeding once?

The communication was connected at the same time, and the familiar click of Fushimi Saru Hiko's tongue came from his ears.

"Tsk. Where did you go again? Come back quickly. Mr. Zun came back early and is waiting for you to cut the cake together. I won't see anyone again. Don't hold the birthday party. Mr. Izumo is going to take someone to catch him and run away from home." Miss Haiguazi."

He could feel his toes, and began to lose consciousness, turning into green fluorescent light, like fireflies in the night sky, blown away by the wind, Yayoi Aoki froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Fushimi-kun..."

Her voice was very soft, irrelevant, and she began to think of what to say.

"Misaki is the same as Zun, they don't like to use their brains. You are so smart, you must remember to be with Mr. Izumo and remind them more. And Anna, I don't trust her. Anna also likes Fushimi-kun, you Don't be aggressive with her, she will be scared."

Fushimi Saruhiko began to feel something was wrong: "Where are you?! What happened—Yayoi!"

"Wow, it's rare for Fushimi-kun to call me by my name. It would be great if I could record it."

There is no feeling below the calf, but Yayoi Aoki is still joking leisurely: "Fushimi-kun, you give the terminal to Zun, okay? I have something to tell him."

From the terminal, you can hear the background sound of the turmoil, and what finally sounds is Zhou Fangzun's iconic deep voice.

He was still so concise, just a few simple words: "Where are you? Wait for me."

But just listening to the voice, Yayoi Aoki knew that Zun must be very angry, very angry, and if Mr. Yu Shaoshen was caught, he would be burnt to the point that not even his bones were left.

She smiled and replied like reciting a poem: "I am in a place where I can see the sun and the moon at the same time."

He could vaguely hear Kusanagi Izumo calling Fushimi Saru Hiko, Yayoi Aoki looked up at the sky, the two coexisted inconceivably, and heaved a long sigh when the accidental encounter sounded.

"Zun, what a pity, it took a lot of effort to get him to agree this time. I originally wanted to give the gift to him personally."

There was another messy sound from the terminal, as well as the sound of wind and breathing, as if the holder had started to run.

Zhou Fangzun could not refuse the order: "Don't sleep. I'll be there soon."

As if he didn't hear it, Yayoi Aoki began to read again and again, exhorting him once and for all.

"Master, there are two gifts in the red box, one for Tatara. After you get it, remember to drip blood on it, and you must, must carry it with you, otherwise I will not let you go even if I am a ghost! "

"My lord, the smoking cessation plan is halfway through, you can't give up. We agreed. You have to supervise Mr. Izumo. You all want to be healthy and live a long life."

"Zun, you have to take good care of Anna. Besides me, she likes you the most. Because Zun's red is the most beautiful red, and it will shine in the dark. I like it too."

"Happy birthday, respect."

Having spread to the collarbone, Yayoi Aoki slowly closed his eyes, his whispers were shattered in the whistling night wind and dissipated in the fluorescent lights in the sky.

"Zun, I'm sorry, I'm going home. Thank you, I'm very happy during this time."

……

…………

………………

The last trace belonging to "Yayoi" was completely erased from this world.Flesh, bones, skin, everything is gone.

All that was left was the gorgeous clothes and the red gift box that was placed on the chest.

There was not a single drop of blood, it was clean, and no one would have thought that a deliberate murder took place here—except for the air-dried flower that did not belong to "Yayoi" and should have been named "Bi Shui Liu". heart.

Yu Shao Shen Zi carefully put the heart into the box, and picked up the camera hidden in the corner; on the screen, the figure that should have been Yu Shao Shen Zi changed into a boy with short silver hair.

"Hey~ As expected...it's really, really incredible."

He put away the camera, held the box containing the heart solemnly in his arms, and jumped down to the rooftop—disappearing in the sky.

And the metal door on the roof was melted into molten iron in an instant.

He arrived as scheduled.

He is forever missed.

Some people on the rooftop were crying, some were silent, and some were angry and wanted to vent, but they didn't know where to start.

The setting sun is finally sinking, and the night is finally coming on time, only the high moon can witness everything.

……

Today is Zhou Fangzun's 24th birthday.

He lost a very important family member.

So is HOMRA.
