Slimes also want to be evil gods

All in all, since it has happened, don't think about it, but just accept it.

"In other words, this is the past... No, no, if you think about it carefully, it should be the future."

This is the same concept as if you used some kind of time machine to travel to the past. Although you have traveled to the past, is it really the past for you?

The past refers to things that have already been experienced, but you just traveled through time to the past. For yourself, what will happen next is the 'future' without a doubt, even if you know everything that will happen in the 'future', but There is no doubt that the future of the past is also your future for you personally.

"And this body...it seems to be a real human body."

Although Ye Shenchen used to use a human body, that body was only a mimicry after all, and it was not a human being in essence, but now, the body it is using now is undoubtedly a human being, an ordinary of humans.

"I think therefore I am, forget it, there is no point in thinking so much."

For a moment, Ye Shen thought deeply about the difference between the self who thinks with the current human body and the self who thought with the body of the past, and thus derived ideas such as what the current self should be, but this kind of thing is too lazy to think about it. Thinking about it, because at present it is not idle enough to think about this to pass the time.

"Huh? Ye Shen... classmate?"

Just as Ye Shen was sinking by the river, thinking about the philosophy of life and research, a voice of doubt suddenly came from beside him.

"Are you...... Uesugi Hirouchi?"

Maybe it was because he just returned to this world, well, maybe it was because of other reasons, anyway, Yagami Shen didn't notice Uesugi Hirouchi approaching him, until he made a sound, he moved his eyes to Uesugi who suddenly appeared beside him On Hirouchi.

"Although it's strange to ask, did I, did I meet Yagami-san before, when in the past?"

Uesugi Hirouchi behaved very strangely. Seeing Yagami seemed to make him very excited, but at the same time he was also very confused. It seemed that although he was very excited, he didn't know why he was excited.

"As for me... I once gave you eternal life."

Seeing Uesugi Hirouchi who used to be regarded as one of his subordinates, Yagami Shen showed a very strange expression for Uesugi Hirouchi. As for how strange it is, how to say it, it can barely be classified into the category of nostalgia feel it.

"What are you talking about? Could it be that Yashen-san is a, uh...secondary student?"

However, the current Uesugi Hirouchi is just an ordinary person named Uesugi Hirouchi, and he only reacted to what Yagami Shen said that ordinary people would have.

"The me now is different from the me in the past, so I want to change my approach, such as building an organization or something...Hey, Hirouchi Uesugi, do you want to come together this time?"

"…………"

Facing the invitation from Yagami Shen, Hirouchi Uesugi just scratched his head in confusion.

Chapter 2 tick

Tick, tick, tick……………

"It's coming again, I heard it again, where is the clock coming from?"

This is the day after Yagami Shen came into contact with Uesugi Hirouchi. The students finished their morning study and ate their own bento or went to the small shop to buy fried noodles and bread. However, for Uesugi Hirouchi, he is more important than lunch. What I care about is the clock sound that I have heard from time to time since I entered the school in the morning.

"Although you have been talking about it all morning, I still have to tell you that I really didn't hear the clock you mentioned. Are you too tired recently?"

Hearing Hirouchi Uesugi talk about this again, beside him, a tall and thin boy wearing glasses said helplessly, if what Hirouchi Uesugi said is true, it’s okay to say, the problem is that there is no one other than Hirouchi Uesugi himself. Anyone who hears his so-called tick-tock clock.

By the way, this boy's name is Yoshioka Kunimura, and he is a classmate of Hirouchi Uesugi. Of course, he is also a classmate of Yagami Shen.

According to this Yoshioka Kunimura, the most likely possibility is that Hirouchi Uesugi has been a little tired these days and has tinnitus or something like that, and his tinnitus was mistaken for the sound of a clock.

However, no matter how earnestly Yoshioka Kunimura explained the symptom of tinnitus, Hirouchi Uesugi firmly believed that he did hear the clock sound, instead of taking the clock sound that only he could hear as ordinary tinnitus.

It’s okay to say once or twice, the problem is now, Hirouchi Uesugi has mentioned this matter four times today, Yoshioka Kunimura really has no time to argue with him about this, the clock is just the clock, he really has nothing to refute motivation.

"How is that possible? It must be the sound of a clock. Although the sound is very soft, you can hear it if you listen carefully..."

"Ha... Let me reiterate for the last time, I really didn't hear the clock you said. If you want to talk about strange stories, you have found the wrong person. I really don't care about this kind of thing. interest.

"It's not a weird story, it should be true that there is a voice, okay, okay, I won't talk about that... Eh, Yagami-san didn't come to school today?"

Hirouchi Uesugi originally wanted to say a few more words, but he was defeated by Yoshioka Kunimura's unfriendly gaze, and he waved his hands to show that he gave up. He wanted to say something else when he suddenly remembered something, so he looked around and stared at him. Looking at an empty table diagonally behind, he asked.

He was in a trance, not because of the sound of the clock, but because what happened when he met Ye Shenchen near the Nakatsugawa Bridge yesterday evening was so weird, so weird that he still finds it unbelievable until now, leaving a deep impression on him .

"Could it be that he said it's true, no, no, no, it's impossible, it should be just a second grade, but if the clock sound is a sign of something, no, no, it must be that I have read too many novels recently I started to think wildly, um, it must be so, but, if, just if, what Yagami-san said is true..."

"Ah, don't tell me I haven't noticed, he really doesn't seem to come to school...... Well, this is very common, energetic high school students like us play truant, or have never played truant Youth is incomplete youth!"

When Uesugi Hirouchi could only use the voice he heard softly, Yoshioka Kunimura also noticed the fact that Yagami was not there under the reminder of Uesugi Hirouchi, but for the fact that his classmates skipped class, Yoshioka Kunimura Village didn't have any resentment, or on the contrary, he was very moved by this, and it seemed that he himself wanted to play truant.

"Playing truant is the only way to complete your youth... What the hell is your understanding of youth!"

"You don't understand, it's my dream to drive a motorcycle through the streets with a mohawk in a jagged suit and a cloak of night dew, just once, really just once, I want Feeling the friendship that sprouted between men after fighting each other, and cherishing each other, in the end both of them ran towards the sunset with tears of emotion..."

Yoshioka Kunimura started to work hard while talking, dancing and dancing, and began to state his ideas. In the end, he was even moved by the picture he imagined, and even a trace of crystal liquid appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he closed his eyes and reveled in his own in the world.

"Your understanding of youth is too weird. What era is this a bad boy? Even comics don't have such plots anymore."

"Tsk, modern people can't understand what is real youth. It's unreasonable that ordinary people can't even understand the creators. It's because of this that the industry is going to end!"

Speaking of this, Yoshioka Kunimura smacked his lips, as if he was disgusted with the current manga industry, but from the side of Hirouchi Uesugi, it seemed that this was just because there were no works with his favorite subjects serialized.

"What is going to end is the brains in your head, what era are you from? You really lived in the Heisei era. In fact, you are still living in the Showa era, right... Ha, forget it , stop chatting, I'll go out and blow some air."

It was the first time for Uesugi Hirouchi to talk about this topic with Yoshioka Kunimura. He was really surprised. He didn't expect this serious-looking Yoshioka Kunimura to be so keen on the bosozoku of the Showa period.

That's right, according to Hirouchi Uesugi, the youth in Yoshioka Kunimura's description sounds like the kind of bosozoku, or something that traditional bosozoku would do during the Showa period.

Although Yoshioka Kunimura did not say it, Uesugi Hirochi assured that in his thinking, this kind of youth must include incidents such as feeding stray kittens with milk, because this is the most traditional way to reflect the unknown tenderness of a man Way.

"It's not good, it's not good, even I'm starting to think wildly... I really didn't know that Yoshioka was keen on this kind of thing before."

Hirouchi Uesugi shook his head, trying to get out of his mind the image of Yoshioka Kunimura feeding stray cats with a mohawk on his head, and let his thinking return to normal.

"The voice should be coming from here...... Sure enough, this is not my auditory hallucination."

The purpose of Uesugi Hirouchi’s coming out was of course not to blow the wind, but to find out the source of the ticking sound he heard. Although others said they didn’t hear it, Yoshioka Kunimura thought it was tinnitus or something, but The ticking sound was so clear to him, so clear that he didn't think it was his own illusion at all.

"The voice is coming from here, I really heard it right."

Following the continuous ticking sound, Hirouchi Uesugi turned left from the classroom and turned right. After going around an unknown number of places, he came to the door of an activity department room that seemed to be some kind of club. The clearer ticking sound was coming from here. Behind the door kept coming out.

Chapter 3 pocket watch

Ka……………

Obviously there was no sound or physical contact, but when Hirouchi Uesugi approached the door, there was a soft sound, and a gap was slowly opened. At the same time, a gust of cold air came from the gap. It's like the feeling when you turn on the air-conditioned room in midsummer.

The question is, is the source of this cold air really an air conditioner?

Hirouchi Uesugi is not particularly clear about this. As far as he knows, there is no such thing as air conditioning in the classrooms of their school, which is something that can only exist in private schools. For the ordinary public high school he attended , It was like a dreamlike bubble.

The only offices of school leaders where there may be air-conditioning, and the offices of ordinary teachers are basically not installed.

The problem now is that what he stopped at the moment was not the teaching building where the school leader was located, and there was not even a teacher's office nearby. It was basically just an ordinary club room and some empty classrooms piled up with sundries.

Of course, from this point alone, it is impossible to rule out that some clubs have purchased an air conditioner in the club house at their own expense, but the probability of this is too low, not to mention, in terms of Uesugi Hirouchi's personal sense , this kind of cold is completely different from the cold produced by the air conditioner, but it is difficult to describe exactly how different it is.

Tick, tick, tick…………………

It seems that because of the opening of the door, the sound of the clock inside the door is getting louder and clearer. Its stronger sense of presence makes Hirouchi Uesugi unable to calm down and think, so he can only give up thinking for the time being. Find out what's making the sound.

creaking……………

It looked like an ordinary club door, but when Hirouchi Uesugi opened it, he made the sound that a very old-fashioned wooden door would make, which surprised Hirouchi Uesugi, who was unprepared, and stopped his movements , so that the door was only half opened.

Snapped!

At this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out from the room, grabbed Hirouchi Uesugi's shoulder, and pulled him into the room before he could react.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...  

Suddenly, the noise that could only be said to be noisy at the moment he entered became unbearable for him. The sound made him even have no time to pay attention to the hand that pulled him in, so he could only painfully try to cover his ears and block the sound. That never-ending sound.

When instinctively looking at the sound in a panic, Hirouchi Uesugi saw it, saw the source of the sound.

A pocket watch that looks very ordinary, with ordinary dials, ordinary hands, and ordinary bracelets. It is possible to have the same style as it in any ordinary watch shop.

It's just such an ordinary pocket watch, making an absolutely unusual sound for Hirouchi Uesugi, making him stare straight at this seemingly ordinary pocket watch.

"Do you like it?"

"!"

Just when Hirouchi Uesugi was looking at the pocket watch, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him, which made him wake up from his own world instantly, and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

"Ye Shen Shen...why are you here? Didn't you come to school today?"

It may be because the sudden appearance of Yagami put too much pressure on Hirouchi Uesugi, which caused him to have severe mood swings, so he directly called Yagami by his name instead of calling Yagami-san like before.

"Do you like it?"

Yagami Shen didn't directly answer Uesugi Hirouchi's question, but looked at him with an inexplicable smile. After seeing Uesugi Hirouchi's creeps, he turned his gaze back to the pocket watch and repeated the previous question.

"I, I don't know..."

The sound from this pocket watch troubled Uesugi Hirouchi a lot. Logically speaking, Uesugi Hirouchi should hate this pocket watch, at least just now.

But now, after Uesugi Hirouchi actually saw this pocket watch, all his thoughts until now were almost dissipated at that instant, and even the sound of the clock began to become inaudible. In contrast, Uesugi Hirouchi’s Another thought emerged in my heart... or desire, some kind of desire that keeps sprouting.

"But it seems to like you, doesn't it?"

Facing the extremely confused Uesugi Hirouchi, Yagami Shen didn't say anything, or said he didn't need to say anything.

Uesugi Hirouchi is an existence that is destined to become an anomaly. This is a fact that has been verified. It does not require any external force, nor does it need to do any unnecessary things, as long as it goes with the flow.

"What do you mean? It's just a pocket watch... Wait, it's all your fault."

The so-called common sense has firmly bound Uesugi Hirouchi's thinking. Even though what happened from just now is very magical, Uesugi Hirouchi did not abandon his values ​​​​for these years so easily. Said he loved the pocket watch so much.

Furthermore, for Uesugi Hirouchi, Yagami Shen's so-called pocket watch liking him is itself a very ignorant statement.

After all, a pocket watch, a mechanical dead object, is absolutely impossible to show the feeling of liking. It is something that stupid human beings, creatures with carbon as the basis of organic matter, have. Pocket watches have this kind of thing It is simply nonsense.

"Speaking of which, why are there so many strange things here? Hey, thinking about it carefully, I didn't remember that Yagami-san, you joined clubs or something, so where is this room?"

Just from the surface, Hirouchi Uesugi found that there were many objects of unknown meaning in this room for some reason.

For example, on his right wall hangs a very ancient stone mask that seems to be made of stone. There is an altar-like thing under the stone mask, but the altar does not enshrine any gods. Instead, an unopened bag of pasta.

There is nothing hanging on the wall on the right side, but there is an ordinary-looking coffee machine in the corner. There is a keyboard and an attached display on the coffee machine that can be used to input English letters.

The pocket watch that Hirouchi Uesugi liked was placed on the middle table, but the table was very messy, and besides the pocket watch, there were many sundries of unknown use.
