The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Well"

His throat was filled with the dry feeling of just waking up from sleep, and Wu Ye, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes relying on his primitive survival instinct.

What he saw in front of him was the ceiling of his room, but he felt uncomfortable lying on the bed. When he moved his hands again, he realized that although he was covered with a quilt, he was still wearing the same clothes when he went out.

Wu Ye sat up and started to lift the quilt, but found that the corner of the quilt was pressed by something, so he looked down——

"Rikka?"

".Takeru?"

The little head hiding under the arm shook for a while before raising it up. There was a look of confusion on Rikka's face. It was obvious that she had just woken up from her sleep, but when she saw clearly the person calling her name in front of her, she was almost shocked. Jump up.

"Takeya!"

"What, what's wrong?"

Wu Ye was taken aback by Liuhua's startled performance.

"Takeya, are you okay?"

Liuhua looked at Wu Ye with deep guilt and worry and asked.

"Huh? What can I have, ah."

After waking up from the dream, the fuzziness dissipated, Wu Ye finally remembered the cause and effect completely. He traveled to the Santu River in a revolving door, had a fight on the way, and then went to the underworld to sleep on the premise of these things——

That is, he ate the curry made by Rikka.

"."

Although it was a blessing to be able to recover from a half-dead state so quickly, but why, Takeru was not happy at all.

"sorry"

Seeing Takeya's dumbfounded expression, Rikka slowly lowered her head. Although her thinking circuit was connected to Chuuni most of the time, it didn't mean that she didn't have common sense. It was just that she was completely subconscious about it. Just forgotten.

This time, Wu Ye fell to the ground immediately after eating her food, which really scared her into a cold sweat. Even though it seemed that she was in danger, she still couldn't let go of the shame in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Takeya."

Rikka didn't know what to do. Anyway, all she could think of now was to keep apologizing.

I have never seen Rikka in her late middle school years with such a depressed expression, but Takeya's mood was quite subtle.

In fact, he didn't really care about the fact that he almost died from eating curry. Of course, it wasn't because Takeya was broad-minded or anything like that.

The most important reason is that although he has walked before the gate of hell, he has really walked before the gate of hell. Judging from Takeya's current understanding, he is really not afraid of death at all.

Because not only did he almost die, but also because after he died, he discovered that the Santu River in Hell was completely different from what he had imagined.

He even felt that if he accidentally knelt down by then, as long as he gave some money to Komachi and Reimu, he would definitely be able to survive intact.

I wiped it and suddenly felt like I was invincible.

After muttering to himself for a while, Takeru turned his attention from the nonsense to Rikka in front of him.

At this moment, the middle-aged girl was still holding her head with a guilty look on her face, as if this ostrich-like movement could relieve the burden in her heart. Takeru also focused his eyes on her without saying a word, and after a long time he said:

".never mind."

These words were full of relief and comfort, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to Rikka.

"Aren't you angry Takeya?"

Perhaps it was because Takeya always taught him a lesson with his sword, but once something big happened, Rikka's attitude was always very obedient.

"If you want to be angry, of course you are angry!"

"Aww."

Rikka's eyes that had just lit up immediately dimmed again, but she didn't expect that Takeya would relax his stern face after saying these harsh words.

"But let's forget it this time."

"Wu Ye.?"

Rikka's dimmed eyes regained their brilliance again. She saw Takeya's helpless smile as usual, and her nose felt a little sore for a moment.

"True, worthy of being an ally of the Evil King's True Eye! The Evil King's True Eye is indeed the strongest!"

"."

No one knew what Rikka wanted to express. Perhaps she said such words due to inertia, or perhaps she just wanted to hide something that was not suitable to be revealed in front of others.

Rikka's tone returned to her former cheerful tone, but she never raised her head. She muttered to herself something like the Evil King's True Eye for a while, and then she stretched out her hand to tug on Takeya's clothes and lowered her head. Voice:

“I’m sorry, cooking is not my strong point.”

"I know."

Takeru looked at Rikka in a funny way, who finally stopped showing off and showed weakness. It was a kind of deep dependence, and he had felt the same emotion with Elio.

How does it feel to be relied on by a middle school student? trouble? Maybe he would have felt this way before today, but now

"Next time I'll cook."

Takeya accidentally stretched out his hand and patted Rikka on the head. The intimate gesture was just like how he usually treated Elio. Even he didn't notice this.

Rikka's face was slightly red, but because she lowered her head, Takeru couldn't see clearly, but he vaguely heard her say "hmm".

Regardless of whether there was a response or not, he must have heard it.

"That's just right. Now I'm going to prepare dinner. Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

Rikka answered quietly, and finally added:

"Earthwatchers ate it too."

“Pizza again?”

Wu Ye raised his forehead, and guessed what they were eating, but at the same time he couldn't help being curious:

"How long have I been unconscious?"

When he was in Gensokyo, because his disorder developed so quickly and troubles came one after another, he didn't remember how long he stayed there, let alone slept in the middle.

"Probably more than an hour."

Liuhua looked at the alarm clock on the table and said uncertainly:

"Anyway, it didn't take more than two hours."

"Huh? Why are you emphasizing this two hours?"

"Because, Lord Mori said, if Takeya hasn't woken up within two hours, call an ambulance."

".Dansheng Valley?"

Speaking of which, Rikka's behavior today was somewhat instigated by this guy. If she hadn't come up with some "way to cheer up", he wouldn't have suffered such an unreasonable disaster.

But it doesn't matter anymore, what Wu also cares about is why that guy deliberately emphasizes two hours? He has already half-stepped into hell, no, he has already been to hell, shouldn't he go to the doctor as soon as possible?

Xu Shi sensed Wu Ye's doubts, and Liuhua explained:

"Because Wu also fainted, I immediately called Master Mori to help. When she first arrived, she originally said to call an ambulance immediately."

"Well, what then?"

"Then she said, 'Kosaka-san should really die'."

".What?!"

What kind of plane is Dan Sheng Gu doing? Wu Ye was so choked by these words that he almost ran away, he didn't remember what he had provoked this guy.

"I don't know either."

Rikka tilted her head and recalled:

"It seems that around that time, Mrs. Mori met the Earth Observer and asked me her real name. Then she said that and asked us to wait for two hours before talking."

"."

Wait, Earth Observer’s real name? Isn’t that what it is?

At that moment, Wu Ye, who had just climbed out of a pit, suddenly found that he seemed to have fallen into another pit, and he had dug it himself.
