The Time Cycler from the Type Moon

When he walked out of the bathroom, Hideo Ando looked up at the sky that was shining slightly under the light pollution, and suddenly there was an emotion similar to anticipation on his face.

He fell for a simple and obvious psychological suggestion.

The moment the hint appeared, the magic power in Hideo Ando's body reacted with rejection.

Just like the oil poured into the water will automatically stratify with the water, Ateng Hideo can clearly feel the magic power that does not belong to him permeating the surroundings and is repelled by him.

This should be a fairly simple magic trick that is only useful to ordinary people. "Since it's an invitation, it doesn't make sense not to go."

Muttering such a sentence in his mouth, Hideo Ando returned to the Yakitori shop.

"Are you going to see your sister alone?"

"Oranges will kill you, be careful."

Putting down the skewers he was eating in the shop, the voices of Qingzi and Youzhu sounded at the same time.

"It's okay, I'm just curious about things like pure magicians."

"If you both pass by, you will definitely have to fight. I want to talk to your sister about life."

Hideo Ando looked seriously at Aoko in front of him.

And the latter felt extremely headache about what Hideo Ando said.

"You're trying to die... well, it seems like you won't die either."

Aoko looked sideways, and found that Yuzu had responded to Hide Ando and given a magic item, then started to eat the skewers again.

The movements of the fairy tale witch, adhering to the eldest lady's upbringing, chewed and swallowed slowly.

It is also because of this that even if she grabs the skewers she wants to eat in advance every time, the amount she eats in the end is still not as much as the careless Qingzi.

"Youzhu is not worried about you, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

"It really doesn't work, we just start the plan ahead of time."

Shaking his head, since he has believed in Hide Ando's ability with all his heart, Aoko no longer has much doubts about the safety of the other party.

"See you later then."

Hideo Ando smiled and nodded at the two of them.

"I have transferred the mark on Youzhu to you, Qingzi."

"If I die later, time will start to flow backwards, Qingzi, you and Youzhu, the memories of previous experiences will not disappear."

"However, after I transfer the mark, all the memories of Youzhu in the time after this time will be reset in the reincarnation and cannot be preserved."

Hideo Ando stated the current situation in this way.

"Understood, I want to go quickly, just save a person to grab food from us, don't forget to take something."

Listening to Hide Ando's words, Aoko waved at Hide Ando impatiently.

"Qingzi, I told you that Tsundere has been withdrawn from the market, if you want to remind me not to forget to take something, just say it."

Hideo Ando complained like this.

Then, without waiting for Qingzi's rebuttal, he left the shop with Youzhu's invention of a magic tool that could kill himself quickly.

Walking out the door, the cool evening breeze brushed against her cheeks.

Hideo Ando didn't hesitate much, followed the extra instructions in his mind, and walked straight towards the target.

And when he arrived at the destination, he found that it was a small steel ball shop located three or four kilometers away from the burning bird shop.

Ding ding dong dong ~ ding ding dong dong ~

The sound of the collision of beads, accompanied by passionate music, rang in my ears.

The neon light reflected from a pachinko machine illuminated Hideo Ando's cheeks.

Playing steel balls is a fairly famous specialty in Japan.

People who play steel balls exchange money to the counter for steel balls, and then use the gambling machine to gamble on steel balls. After winning, they will get more steel balls.

These steel balls can be exchanged for 'scenery' (like a voucher) at the counter.

Customers can take the "scenery" to the "pawn shop" opposite the small steel ball to pawn, and then get cash.

Since there is only exchange for "scenery" in the small pachinko shop, there is no money exchange, so it can be regarded as a kind of non-gambling legally.

Of course, as far as the essence is concerned, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an unquestionable gamble.

This kind of place in 1989 was similar to the arcade hall in Hideo Ando's previous life, full of all kinds of smoke smells.

It was around [-] o'clock in the evening, and a large number of blue-collar workers, gangsters, and decadent office workers who were playing games gathered in this store.

When Hideo Ando walked into this store, his eyes immediately locked on a woman in green clothes full of wild and arrogant temperament.

No way, in such a messy environment.

This elegantly dressed woman is too distinctive.

A rather long cigarette was held in her hand, and a faint white smoke kept rising.

I don't know what kind of method was used. Beside this woman, there are a lot of steel balls, and every time she operates the gambling machine, she can basically get something.

Hideo Ando didn't know if it was because this woman stood out from the crowd in the smoky pachinko shop, and he always felt that something was wrong around him.

"Didn't Aoko and Kuonji come with you?"

Orange Aozaki, who was dressed in green, turned around and spoke to Hideo Ando who was beside her.

Chengzi had expected that her own means of suggestion would be discovered.

This time, Cheng Zi and Hideo Ando's meeting again was a coincidence. When the three of them were queuing up, Cheng Zi happened to go shopping opposite the yakiniku shop.

"Oh, they are enjoying delicious food in the roasted bird restaurant now. If I haven't been back for a while, I should have attracted their attention."

Hideo Ando was conducting questions and answers so casually that he went blind.

"Really? I'm really touched that the two of them can go out together during the day and have dinner together at night. I thought they were living together in a formality. It seems that the two get along pretty well."

"Is this your reason?"

Putting on the glasses again, it's like a giant wolf in a fairy tale put on a red coat and turns into a petite and lovely Little Red Riding Hood.

The temperament of Cangzaki Orange has changed from domineering to gentle.The original posture of Erlang's legs has also changed into an elegant sitting posture with legs close together.

The whole person is becoming more and more incompatible with the atmosphere of the surrounding small steel ball shops.

"That's not true, the relationship between the two of them was good."

Hideo Ando shook his head, then looked at Touko Aozaki in front of him.

"My name is Hideo Ando, ​​I'm probably Qingzi and Youzhu's friend."

"Miss Chengzi, do you mind if I ask, is your current state a dual-function personality?"

He spoke with ease.

The Aozaki orange in front of me is like those dual personalities that Hideo Ando saw in the TV series in his previous life. As long as he puts on the glasses, the whole person will become gentle, and if he takes off the glasses, the whole person will become fierce and aggressive.

But at this time, if you look closely at her hands taking off the glasses, you can still find that Cheng Zi's slender fingers are covered with wounds, which are small cuts that have accumulated over time.

"It's just a simple psychological suggestion."

"So, Hideo Ando, ​​right, what is the purpose of coming to me alone?"

Chengzi showed a gentle smile at Hide Ando.

At this moment, the question and answer between the two did not have any tense atmosphere at all.

On the contrary, it was more like someone from her natal family met a strange son-in-law, and pulled him to ask him how he was doing.

Those who don't know it will probably think that this is Hideo Ando, ​​a high school student who is very familiar with Touko Aozaki.

"Just a little curious."

"Youzhu and Qingzi both say that you are the kind of pure magician who can give up everything in order to reach the root, so I'm curious if you are really this kind of person."

Hideo Ando showed a serious expression on his face.

"Just because of this?"

The woman's gaze became quite sharp for an instant.

"Because of this."

Hideo Ando nodded frankly.

"Humans are complex and three-dimensional creatures. In my personal perception, there are actually quite a few people in this world who can single-mindedly pursue something."

"I am very envious of this kind of person."

"It should be a very happy thing to have self-pursuit."

"And I haven't been able to find a thing that can make me persistently pursue for a lifetime."

He made the statement so solemnly.

For Hideo Ando, ​​who is always looking for fun.

A person who can be persistent in one thing and continue to gain joy and joy while doing that thing is undoubtedly the person he envies.

When life can be restarted, when everything can be modified.

Regrets are disappearing, and the joy of making up for regrets is also further decreasing.

Interesting will always slowly become boring as time goes by.

This is also the reason why Hideo Ando has been beating around the bush recently to arouse Aoko's interest.

Because no one knows, those hobbies that can still make Qingzi's heart surge now, will she not feel any more in a few years.

He hoped that Qingzi would become more active.

At the same time, I also hope that I can gain more and longer-term fun from the active Qingzi, and not feel bored.

And Canozaki Chengzi listened to Hideo Ando's words and looked at the other's expression.

She looked at Ando Hideo with a feeling of pondering gradually.

Hideo Ando, ​​who has magical power in his body, has already entered the circle of magicians. It is impossible not to understand what magicians will do to pursue the root.

Looking at Hideo Ando who was mixing with Yuzu and Aoko at first, Aozaki Chengzi thought that the other party should be someone similar to her sister in terms of personality.

A half-way monk who maintains the mentality of an ordinary person welcomes the half-baked in the world of magic.

But looking at it now, the other party seems to be quite heterogeneous.

Its attitude towards "Cheng Zi abandons everything in pursuit of the root" shows a kind of recognition and envy.

"So what do you see in me now?"

Still with a gentle image, Aozaki Chengzi asked Hideo Ando in front of him.

"I didn't see anything. We just said a few words. How can I tell if you are such a person?"

"But it's not too late to ask now."

"Miss Aozaki Orange, do you like to pursue the roots?"

He spoke sincerely and seriously to Aozaki Chengzi in front of him.

Canozaki Orange: "..."

In the small steel ball shop, the sound of steel balls colliding with steel balls kept ringing.

The five-color neon lights flickered repeatedly in the surrounding gambling machines, reflecting the surrounding environment.

Cheng Zi didn't know how to respond to Hideo Ando's overly blunt words in front of him.

Just like people living in society, they pursue money and make their lives rich.

It is only natural for magicians to pursue the root and aim at the root.

Hideo Ando's question to Aozaki Touko now.

It's probably like a modern person who is asked, 'Do you like your job? '.
