I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

"No!!"

"You are not her, you are not Minako!"

The reality is in front of him, and his self-deception is exposed. The old social animal man who is over 60 years old kneels on the ground in pain, and liquid keeps dripping from his closed eyes.

"No, you are not"

Minako is so considerate, so elegant and quiet, and she was his former love!

Not the current one, who just treats herself as a pension-

"Old man, what are you crazy about?"

Before the old woman finished speaking, a figure blocked the two of them.

"Stop, the 'future' me is too ugly."

"Ha, who do you think you are?"

The old woman looked at the girl in front of her: so familiar, because this is her face, what she used to look like.

"You dare to speak so shamelessly with a face like my youth?"

"What kind of extraordinary monster are you? I'll call the police right now--"

Just as the old woman took out her cell phone, the old man Takeo, who was kneeling and crying, was startled. He immediately struggled to get up and raised his arms high.

A slap was swung,

Pah,

The cell phone fell to the ground with a spin,

The old woman with nothing in her fingers was stunned again.

"You"

"Minako is not a monster!"

The gray-haired old man roared with all his strength.

"Go back, I want to be with 'Minako'."

"Even if I die because of this, I am willing."

"Mr. Takeo, don't do this."

The girl in the church school uniform raised her hand, trying to stop the old man from speaking, but her arm once again passed through his cheek in vain.

"Hey, Miss Minako, can I call you that?"

When the old man raised his hand in grief and anger, helplessly covering his face and crying, the girl turned around and looked at "herself".

". It's up to you,"

The old woman looked at the girl in front of her with complicated eyes,

her lips moved a few times, and finally she could only throw out a hard word.

"As you can see, I'm not a human."

The girl in the church school uniform put her hands on her chest and openly admitted her identity as a "supernatural being".

"I am the 'Minako' in Mr. Takeo's memory."

"I don't know what you have experienced and what happened over the years, and why you have come to this point today."

"But--"

The girl stepped forward and stretched out her hand to the old woman.

"I love Mr. Takeo."

?

In the old woman's shocked expression, the girl in the school uniform stepped forward again.

"This feeling, even if it is false, is a 'treasure' that I cherish."

"Ms. Minako, are you willing to accept it?"

"No, is it in retrospect?"

Looking at the hand that the girl stretched out in front of her, the old woman was surprised, afraid, and hesitant. After a few seconds, she stretched out her hand tremblingly.

The two hands were clasped together, one wrinkled and real, and the other white and illusory.

? !

In an instant,

countless 'images' exploded in the old woman's mind.

"Mr. Takeo, do you know how to do this question?"

"No? Then--"

"I'll teach you."

The girl smiled cunningly, and the boy was stunned.

"Mr. Takeo,"

"If you put your hands in your pockets, you won't be able to react when you encounter danger."

Walking on the path in the cherry blossom forest, the girl stretched out her hands, pulled the boy's right hand out of his trouser pocket, and held it in her arms.

"This way, I can pull you away when we're in danger, and you have to protect me~~"

"Mr. Takekuma."

"Mr. Takeo."

"Minako! Can you date me?"

In the classroom, in front of the whole class; the blushing boy suddenly bent down and stretched out his right hand.

"I swear to love you forever!"

"We'll live and die together!"

"Oh oh oh~~"

"What a bold confession--"

Amid the booing of the classmates, the girl held the other's hand.

"Will you live and die together?"

"I do."

"Bride, from now on, whether you are rich or poor, healthy or sick, successful or unsuccessful, are you willing to support him, love him, share the joys and sorrows with him, and work together to create a healthy and happy family, until the day you die?"

"I do."

"Woo woo woo~ Damn it, I'm so envious!"

"You two have made it all the way to the palace of marriage; how can I repair it? I believe in love again."

The wedding scene in white wedding dresses was filled with the ghostly howls of those old classmates.

"Takeo, Minako, be happy!"

"Be happy!"

"You must be happy--"

"Happiness?"

Tears slid down the old woman's cheeks,

"Is this me? Is this what I said before? These are the memories of me and old Takeo?"

When did I start to forget these things?

Is it the hopelessness of Takeo's promotion?

Is it the problem of differences in his son's education?

Is it the boring repetition of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar day after day?

Or

"I am old and confused; I have forgotten what I said and the promises I made."

As the old woman murmured, the girl in the church uniform began to disappear;

"Be happy~~"

She should not have existed in the first place, she was just a memory of the past.

After hearing the girl's last "blessing", the old woman Minako's face was filled with bleakness and shame.

In the face of reality, the two people who were once blessed by the whole class fell into the quarrels, disagreements, and curses of ordinary families. In the end, after saying all the unpleasant words, they forgot each other.

That's right, the opposite of love is not hate.

It's forgetfulness.

Two men and women who seem to be strangers, staggered every day, without seeing each other.

No!

The old woman looked at the old man who was kneeling and crying;

It was herself who changed, Takeo. Maybe he was not smart or powerful, but his feelings had never changed.

". Mr. Takeo,"

The old woman squatted down and stretched out her hand to help the other person up.

Scared?

But the old man subconsciously dodged.

Since they had a big fight many years ago and almost fought, the two slept in separate rooms;

They have never touched each other again, and the other's support made the old man instinctively retreat.

"Ah? Sorry!"

The old man raised his palm and wiped his cheek.

"I didn't mean to avoid it, I I. I just..."

While apologizing incoherently, the old social animal Takeo stood up from the ground.

He didn't know what it was, but he just recalled the vows made many years ago in his dreams, and recalled the bits and pieces they had walked through together, and his tears would always wet the pillow silently.

"You two,"

Just when the two people who had walked through most of their lives looked at each other in silence, a voice suddenly sounded.

"I have given you the 'miracle', now it's time--"

Huh,

The wind blew, and a figure wearing a black suit, trousers, a black windbreaker, and a black bowler hat appeared in front of the old couple.

"The judgment has been made."

? !

"You are Takeo, run!!"

Subconsciously raising her hand, trying to push the old man away, the old woman had already reacted.

The former 'self' was created by the extraordinary being in front of her! And now he appears, combined with what he said, he is going to collect rewards!

This is natural, as mentioned in countless stories, what you want, you have to pay for it: just like the famous fairy tale "Urashima Taro" in the island country, because he saved the sacred turtle in the Dragon Palace, he was taken to the Dragon Palace and was entertained by the Dragon King's daughter.

Before leaving, the dragon girl gave him a jade box and warned him not to open it. When Taro returned home, he found that everyone he knew was gone.

He opened the box, and the white smoke from the box turned Taro into an old man.

One day in the Dragon Palace is a hundred years in the human world!

Now, the other party wants to ask for a reward, and according to the nature of the extraordinary existence:

"If you want a soul, take mine--"

"No!!"

Holding the old woman in his arms, the old man Takeo looked at the mysterious man in the windbreaker in front of him.

"Sir, it is me who made a wish to you."

"Whatever the price, please come to me, it has nothing to do with her Minako!"

"Hehe,"

The mysterious man who couldn't see his face chuckled after pressing his hat.

"It seems you misunderstood,"

"I'm not the kind of kid who cheats souls."

As he said, the mysterious man raised a finger and pointed at the two people.

Obviously it was unusually slow, but whether it was Takeo or Minako, they didn't move, and could only watch the finger enlarge in their pupils in vain.

Is he going to die?

Well, at least the oath of sharing life and death was fulfilled. X2

When death came, the two old people calmed down miraculously, looked at each other, and hugged each other.

"Be happy."

After a dozen seconds,

half a minute,

a few minutes,

"We are not dead?"

The heartbeat so close made Takeo open his eyes in confusion.

But it didn't matter if he saw it, the person in his arms scared him!

The smooth short hair and fair skin, even if she was wearing an old-fashioned long dress, still couldn't cover the girl's curves.

"Minako??"

"Takeo. Hey hey hey??"

Looking up, Minako opened her eyes and was also full of surprise.

Because in front of her was a young man: this face was very familiar to her, after all, they had lived together for decades.

"You, my hand, and--"

Raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, the strange firmness made Minako feel a little more happy in surprise.

"We, we can't be."

"Mom, what are the brothers and sisters over there doing?"

Just as the two were looking around, a child's voice came from outside the park.

A child pointed at them, with innocent doubts under the streetlight; and the young woman next to him quickened her pace and spoke hurriedly.

"Xiaozhi, don't look."

? !

"We,"

"Let's go home first."

"Okay, okay--"

The two people who suddenly became younger were at a loss for a moment and ran to their home in a panic.

Just as they were about to return home, an old neighbor who was taking a walk came towards them.

"Takeo. Hey? It's Wenye!"

Wenye is Takeo's son. He couldn't stand his parents' "cold war" many years ago and moved out.

Because he got married and had children, he also became a new generation of office animals.

"Ah, um"

The two hurriedly responded vaguely and walked past the old neighbor.

No!

When the two entered the house, the old neighbor suddenly reacted.

The man just now was too young. It wasn't Wenye!

It looks more like Takeo in his youth, and the girl next to him is Minako?

A chill ran down his body, and the old neighbor shivered as he reached for his cell phone.

What?

Of course call the police!

————

Adachi Ward,

"So, this is the reason why you came to our door late at night?"

Yuu, who was wearing pajamas, had a stinking face, and anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"I'm so sorry!"

Director Zhuya bowed and apologized in a familiar manner, which perfectly demonstrated the basic abilities of island country politicians.

"Our Extraordinary Countermeasures Section has just received two men and women who have come into contact with extraordinary existences."

"That's your business-"

Yuu waved his hand,

"I am the principal of a spell school, what does this kind of thing have to do with me?"

Although it is forbidden for ghosts and gods to travel in Tokyo, extraordinary people are not among them; those who possess extraordinary power are also extraordinary beings themselves, and it is not worth making a fuss about if they make any noise.

"No, no, no, Yuu-kun."

There must be a reason why Director Zhuya dared to 'disturb' Yu at this time.

"There is something special about these two men and women. They have rejuvenated themselves!"

?

"Oh, interesting."

After hearing Director Zhuya's words, You raised his hand and wiped it on himself.

The ink flowed through like water, turning pajamas into black casual clothes; then the ink spread downward to the floor, holding the two of them up and flying away.

"Qiong, I'm going to see what's going on. You go to sleep first."

"Okay~~"

The girl, who also changed into pajamas, waved her hand and headed to the bedroom on the second floor.

Chiyoda Ward,

Metropolitan Police Department, underground laboratory.

"Are these the men and women who are 'rejuvenated'?"

Standing behind the one-way glass curtain, You looked casually at the man and woman sitting on the chair nervously holding hands behind the glass.

At first glance, they look like a high school couple who were caught secretly checking into a hotel room.

But if you look closely, you will find the incongruity——

"really,"

Yuu glanced at the two of them with "interest".

"Their souls are around sixty years old, but their bodies are sixteen years old, interesting, interesting."

"Exactly,"

Director Zhuya pushed up his flat-light glasses. Unbeknownst to ordinary people, the appearance of these two men and women had caused an uproar among the powerful circles of the island country!

No less than dropping a nuclear bomb.

Rejuvenation! !

Who would want to die if they could live?

Even if we now know the existence of the underworld, with the strength of the souls of the powerful, it is still a question whether they can survive to the underworld.

Besides, even if you can go to the underworld with all your beards and tails intact, you still have to work hard from the beginning, right?

Rich people invest hundreds of billions, trillions, and Beijing levels in medical care every year.

Isn’t it for this immortality~~

Now there are two living examples. If Director Zhuya hadn't built the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department like an iron barrel; most of the extraordinary people under his command were loyal to him, now the powerful people would have rushed in to snatch people.

The temptation of eternal youth has been coveted by emperors and generals at home and abroad, both ancient and modern.

"Yu-kun, do you already have a clue?"

Director Zhuya, who knew Yuu's character quite well, asked, and received a nod from the other party.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Raising his hand, Yu extended his fingers and pointed at the young men and women in the heavily guarded laboratory.

“The answer lies between their brows.”

On the foreheads of these two boys and girls, there is a carp-shaped spindle pattern.

"What two lucky guys, they were blessed by the 'God of Fortune'."
