Just as Tokiwa Junichiro finished speaking, the doors of the 9-to-5 school were pushed open. Tokiwa Sougo, returning home from school, instinctively cried out that he was hungry. But when he saw his uncle showing those banners to Gengo, he froze, hurriedly rushed over, and stuffed the banners into his schoolbag. Then, he explained, feigning composure:
"The king's sacrifices need not be seen by his subjects."
"But oh dear~~~"
Yuanxiang smiled and raised his index finger, waving it as he said:
"I've already seen it, Your Majesty. What do you suggest we do now?"
"Forehead......."
This immediately blocked Tokiwa Sougo's path, while Gengo, fully immersed in his role, said in a terrified tone:
"Could it be!! Am I going to be executed by the king? Mr. Junichiro, please give me paper and pen, I need to write a will for my sister, sob sob sob..."
"Your crying sounds so fake."
Tokiwa Sougo, his face flushed with embarrassment from the teasing, angrily rubbed Gengo's face, then straightened up, put one hand on his hip, pointed at Gengo, and said:
"Then it's decided. You will become my..."
"No way!"
Yuanxiang playfully drew out the last syllable, flicked his hat, and replied:
"The Fuuto Detective will never become someone else's subject. However, I really enjoy making friends. Heh heh, if my friends see this, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, is there?"
"Hmm...that's true."
Tokiwa Sougo thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. At that moment, Tokiwa Junichiro had already taken his schoolbag to the back to get his food. Sougo sat down opposite Gengo, gave him a strange look, then leaned forward and whispered:
"Yuanxiang, are you in a relationship?"
"...How did you come to this amazing conclusion?"
Genji almost choked on his words. He looked at Tokiwa Sougo in confusion, wondering where he had gotten the sour smell of love from.
"It was mentioned in a book I saw a few days ago."
Tokiwa Sougo stroked his chin and said logically and reasonedly:
"After falling in love, men start to exude a bad boy vibe. This really suits you, Gensou. Compared to last time, you now have that kind of handsome, bad boy vibe."
"Let's set aside what books you've been reading all this time."
Gengo placed the teacup down and remarked to Tokiwa Sougo:
"If it's that obvious, catching young lovers would be a piece of cake. Wait, you're not thinking of solving the emotional problems of your subjects at the same time, are you?"
"Oh!! You guessed right. That's right, as king, I naturally grant any request, even if it's..."
"That's interesting, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Genji interrupted, and Tokiwa Sougo, caught off guard, nodded and said:
"Mmm! Matchmaking is so much fun... cough cough, what nonsense are you talking about, Yuanxiang? I'm not the kind of person who's so eager to have fun."
"...Didn't you just admit it yourself?"
"Stop being so long-winded. Don't worry about such small details."
Amidst Gengo's leisurely grumbling, Tokiwa Sougo lightly tapped the table with his teacup, his face brimming with gossip:
"By the way, Yuanxiang, have you ever fallen in love with a girl at first sight?"
"It's not a good thing if I fall in love with you at first sight."
"Don't say that. Even if you don't grow up, you're still a handsome guy. It's not a bad thing that you like me."
Forget it, I'm tired of arguing about the "youthful appearance" part...
Gengo sighed inwardly, then raised his hand and tapped Tokiwa Sougo's forehead, saying softly:
"It doesn't matter to me whether we talk or not, I've already started working, but you, you've finally gotten some energy, don't waste it on a woman."
"Hmph, how could that be?"
Tokiwa Sougo patted his chest confidently and said:
"I want to be king; women are just a hindrance."
Tsk...didn't record it...
Gengo regretfully put his phone back, then stood up and looked at Tokiwa Junichiro, who had somehow returned to the front desk and closed the back of his watch, saying:
"Has it been repaired yet?"
"Ah, it's fixed. It was just a simple missing part, easy to fix."
As he spoke, Tokiwa Junichiro handed over the watch, and Gengo, after much insistence, paid the repair fee. Then, the shop manager warmly took Gengo's hand and said:
"You're here! Come and have something to eat. The food is ready."
"Yeah, yeah, Yuanxiang, come and eat with us."
Tokiwa Sougo also grasped Genji's other hand and gently tugged it, saying:
"My great-uncle is very skilled at cooking."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Gensho didn't refuse and followed them into the restaurant with a smile. He had to admit, the food was really good. He always felt that if the watch shop ever went out of business, Junichiro Chaopan could definitely open a restaurant. He believed that the business would be very successful.
"Yuanxiang, you eat so fast!"
Tokiwa Sougo, holding his spoon, looked at Gengo, who had already wiped his mouth, and said in surprise, "How should I put it? Gengo's eating movements are very... very... crisp and clean, with a peculiar rhythm. Although it's fast, it's very comfortable to watch. And he ate so cleanly, not a single grain of rice was left."
"Mr. Junichiro, tell me honestly, have you studied cooking somewhere?"
"Hehehe, no, no, you're exaggerating."
Despite his polite words, Tokiwa Junichiro was beaming with joy. For him, today was truly a perfect day. Not only did he get his watch repaired, but Sougo also gained a new friend, and his cooking skills were praised so highly. Ah~~~ He wished time could stand still at this moment.
"Yuanxiang, wait a minute, I'm going to get some drinks. Haha, I was so focused on watching you eat that I forgot about this."
Tokiwa Junichiro slapped his forehead, chuckled, and ran off. Behind him, Tokiwa Sougo paused for a moment, then looked at Gengo and whispered:
"I haven't seen my uncle so happy in a long time."
"It seems you've already guessed the reason."
"Um....."
Tokiwa Sougo nodded, as if to encourage himself, and said:
“I will keep Uncle happy, regardless of whether I am the king or not. Of course, I will make you happy, Yuanxiang.”
The boy, who aspired to be king, held up the spoon and gently shook it, looking at the detective with a bright smile as he said:
"Well, what can I do? You're my friend. When you're feeling down, remember to come to me. I know lots and lots of fun things to do, there's bound to be one that will cheer you up."
"Haha, I'll remember that."
"Coming, coming! Sorry to keep you waiting."
Tokiwa Junichiro walked towards them, carrying a beverage bottle in his left hand and a poured drink in his right. In his haste, he tripped over the edge of the raised floor and fell forward with a cry of surprise, spilling the drink in his cup onto Gensou.
But at that moment, Tokiwa Sougo saw it. He saw Gengo suddenly stand up, as if lightning had flashed, grab the water glass beside him, and as if time had slowed down, catch the spilled drink in the glass with perfect precision. Then he slid forward and supported his uncle who was about to fall. Then, the scene in front of him began to return to normal. Just as he was about to stand up by supporting himself on the table, everything was over. Tokiwa Sougo covered his eyes, feeling astonished.
What just happened...?
210 Immortals from Another World
"That's incredible skill."
Tokiwa Junichiro looked at Gengo in surprise and said in praise:
"I didn't even see it clearly."
"Haha, I'm a detective. If I didn't even have this much skill, I wouldn't be able to make any money."
Gengo chuckled and downed his drink in one gulp, then waved it at Tokiwa Junichiro and said:
"Please have another drink."
"Okay, wow, I didn't expect the detective profession to be so complicated."
Tokiwa Junichiro couldn't help but sigh, compared to this, the pressure on his watch shop was relatively light.
"Yuanxiang, could you teach me this?"
"Ok?"
Looking at Tokiwa Sougo's expectant face, Gengo thought for a moment and answered softly:
"I have no problem with that, but it's going to be really tough, because you not only have to keep exercising, but you also have to learn how to take a beating."
"Get beaten up?"
Tokiwa Sougo blinked; this explanation was somewhat different from what he remembered about training. Gengo nodded affirmatively and continued:
"Yes, it's all about getting beaten up. After all, you can't fight with people without being tough and resilient. Besides, I developed my skills by getting beaten up slowly. I don't know any other training methods."
As the topic came up, Yuanxiang couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. When he looked at his records, he realized how many setbacks he had suffered right after transforming. It felt like he had endured all the setbacks of his entire life.
"Uh...no problem!"
Tokiwa Sougo's expression faltered for a moment, then he said firmly:
"I believe I can learn something useful from you, Yuanxiang!"
"Then let's start exercising on our own tomorrow morning."
Gengo pinched Tokiwa Sougo's little arm and said with a smile:
"When you're stronger, I'll teach you. Heh heh, I'm not bragging, but my martial arts skills are pretty good."
"No problem, I'll do my best for Yuanxiang!"
Tokiwa Sougo gave Gengo a bright smile and mimicked his thumbs-up. After ending the conversation, Gengo took his watch and left the 9-to-5 dojo. Behind him, Tokiwa Sougo touched his eyes again. He didn't think the slow-motion-like scene was his imagination, so... what exactly happened?
On the other side, Gengo was leisurely walking towards Hayate Yagami's house. Looking at the familiar house, he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head. It was in this area when he dealt with the pollen monster. He guessed that's why Hayate discovered his true identity. Ah, it's really hard to guard against.
"Brother Yuanxiang?! What brings you here?"
"Surprised?"
