stand-in creed

Before the teacher finished speaking, Higashika Jousuke ran out of the classroom.

However, when Jousuke came to the men's room and pushed open the toilet door, he saw a scene that made him unbelievable.

"Nero! You you you..."

"Yo, Josuke."

The bloody Nero forced a smile on his face.

Immediately Nero shook his ears and legs.

"There was a little accident, can I trouble you to hurry up?"

"—Crazy Diamond!!!"

ear.

Shoulder.

Arm.

thigh.

Everything was restored to its original state under the power of Crazy Diamond.

Then Jousuke asked nervously.

"Nero, what happened! Isn't Yoshikage Kira dead already!"

But Nero said: "Before answering your question, Jousuke. Since the rain yesterday, have you, Yiyasu, Koichi and others encountered any strange things, or even accidents and dangers?"

Jousuke froze for a moment. "……Hey?"

Nero raised his voice suddenly: "Answer me! This is a very important question!"

Jousuke hurriedly said, "No, no!"

Nero nodded thoughtfully.

Jousuke asked cautiously, "So what happened..."

Before Jousuke could finish asking, Nero opened his mouth.

"I can't tell."

"Hey! You're hurt like this! You still..."

"Jousuke, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I can't tell you.Although I can't be sure now, I already have some guesses about the enemy's "ability"!It is precisely because the enemy's abilities are so terrifying that I cannot tell you anything. "

"……Hey?"

Jousuke was stunned.

Immediately, Jousuke seemed to think of something, and showed a terrified expression: "Could it be that just telling me, the other party's ability will be activated! Isn't Yoshikage Kira dead already..."

"Josuke——!!!"

Nero yelled loudly.

Jousuke calmed down instantly, and looked nervously at Nero in front of him.

Nero took a deep breath and calmed down his voice.

"Josuke, although we haven't known each other for long, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe you!" Assistant Zhan nodded of course, "Nero is the most trustworthy person I've ever met!"

Nero nodded: "Then Josuke, from today onwards you must act like a student."

"I was originally a student..."

"What I mean is, don't do anything out of the ordinary. You can't even ask questions that don't belong to students like just now! Because in this town of Mori, the only person with such a terrible "healing" ability is you, but you Crazy diamonds can't heal yourself.

"As long as you are here, even if I bear this kind of injury ten times and a hundred times, as long as I have one breath, I will not die. But you are different, you can't have any accidents!

"I, Nero Zeppelin, have always fought with the consciousness of risking my life since the moment I set foot on the battlefield! But ah, rather than dying with the enemy, I want to be able to relax after the enemy is dead Eat a piece of Margherita pizza and drink a cup of cheap milk tea made with black tea bags and milk powder.

"You who have crazy diamonds are my hope of surviving happily in the next battle!"

"..."

Jousuke swallowed.

Immediately, Jousuke took a deep breath: "Although I don't understand, it's because I don't understand, because I can't" know anything, that's why we can win, right?The more obediently you go to class and do your homework like a student, the more you can win, right? "

"Yes...probably."

"perhaps?!"

"Because I only have some hazy guesses about the enemy's abilities - don't ask anything, Jousuke. Only you can know nothing! All you need to do is to be in the next few days, when When I appear in front of you bloody again, just heal my wounds."

"..."

Jousuke clenched his fists and nodded seriously.

"I see, Nero."

"very good."

Nero nodded in satisfaction, and immediately patted Josuke on the shoulder.

"Go back to class, Jousuke."

"Then you...uh."

Jousuke subconsciously wanted to ask this question, but was suddenly stunned.

It wasn't until this moment that Josuke understood how difficult the so-called "don't ask anything" is.

Seeing Jousuke shut his mouth, Nero nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, it's Jousuke like this, completely suppressing your curiosity.

"—don't think about anything.

"—don't ask anything.

"—do nothing.

"That's the key to winning. If you can't do those two things, we don't have any chance of winning!"

"...I see, Nero."

Jousuke nodded again, and immediately left the toilet.

But when he was in front of the toilet door, Jousuke couldn't help but say something.

"Be sure to come back alive, Nero. Although I don't have much pocket money, but after the matter is over, I want to use my pocket money to treat you to Torasadi for a meal, and listen to you tell me what happened. "

"I promise you, Jousuke."

"Ah."

Jousuke took a deep breath and returned to the classroom.

The image of Nero covered in blood was completely engraved in Jousuke's mind.Nero, who is so strong, will have such a embarrassing moment?The enemy in the end... hiss!

Jousuke suddenly came back to his senses.

— don't think about anything.

—Don’t ask anything.

—do nothing.

It seems to be such a simple requirement, but it is actually so difficult to implement.

"...don't worry, Mister Nero.

"I will do it! After all, this is an agreement between us, between men!"

Chapter 74

"Good Morning ~Moriocho Radio~

"I am your neighbor, Harada Kai, what a refreshing morning after a heavy rain..."

Morioh's morning radio station was playing at Kawajiri's house.

The man named Kawajiri Kosaku finished his breakfast without saying a word, thinking about what to do with this month's rent, and then glanced at Kawajiri Shinobu who was reading the newspaper boredly on the sofa.

"What about lunch at noon?"

"No, you can buy some bread to deal with it."

"……it is good."

While talking, Kawajiri Shinobu kept reading the newspaper, without even raising his head to look at his husband.

Kawajiri Kosaku didn't say anything, he was already used to this kind of life, he just said "I'm going out" to the air and went to work.

He is just an ordinary office worker.

After finishing his work in the morning, Kosaku Kawajiri saw a man when he was about to go to nearby St. Germain to buy some bread to feed his hunger.

blond hair.

Purple suit.

Kawajiri Kosaku had met him before, and although he didn't know his name and hadn't spoken to him, he could tell from his demeanor that he was an ordinary office worker like himself.I just don't know why, but the temperament of this office worker seems to be a little different today.

However, at this moment, the blond man raised his head and smiled.

"You can see me."

"?"

"It seems that our wavelengths are relatively consistent."

Can you see it?

Matching wavelengths?

Is this person hallucinating from working overtime?

Kawajiri Kosaku had no idea what the blond man was trying to say.

However, the blond-haired man looked around the street: "When I was young, I saw such a story in a book. People who are close to the wavelength of ghosts are more likely to see ghosts and be possessed by ghosts—a substitute." This is probably the case among the envoys, right?"

Sure enough, he worked overtime and went crazy.Kawajiri Kosaku thought.

Immediately, Kawajiri Kosaku opened his mouth calmly: "Sir, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. Next, I have to finish lunch within an hour and then return to the company to deal with work. I don't have time to chat with you about ghosts." story thing."

"Well, sure enough, we get along very well."

"Ok?"

Kawajiri Kosaku didn't understand, and didn't want to understand.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a terrifying force clamping down on him.

It was like being strangled by an arm from behind by an invisible person.

"You can see the ghost, but you can't see the double.

"Ghosts seem to be divided into many types, such as me, such as my father. There are so many incredible things in this world-what is your name?"

do not know why.

It was obvious that the blond man was standing one meter away from him, just standing there in an ordinary manner, without any movement.

But Kosaku Kawajiri raised a feeling—that is, this man used some kind of trick to strangle his thoughts.

And more importantly, Kawajiri Kosaku felt fear.

"...Kawa, Kawajiri Kosaku."

"A common name suits me well."

suits you?

What does this mean?

However, at the next moment, Kawajiri Kosaku watched helplessly as the blond man walked towards him with a smile and—coincided with him.

"My name is Yoshikage Kira.
