I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

At the same time as the two rituals opened the Demonic Eyes of Death, the boy with his head lowered seemed to feel something. Suddenly his body trembled and he covered his chest as if it was tight.

Immediately afterwards, the young man seemed to realize something, and slowly raised his head, his eyes covered by thick flat lenses looked at the source of the throbbing, that strange girl wearing a loose kimono, with brilliant eyes.

The girl hooked her hand at the boy, looking like she was provoking him.

The young man hesitated for a while, as if he didn't want to go, and couldn't restrain his inner impulse and curiosity, so he finally walked towards the girl hesitantly.

When the young man walked up to him, the two men looked at him carefully from top to bottom and asked directly: "What's your name?"

Although the boy felt that the girl's way of questioning was very problematic, he still answered in a clever way: "Shiki, Arima Shiki."

Then, the boy saw the girl's stunned expression and heard another surprised cry.

Looking away from the girl who attracted him inexplicably, the boy saw a man who had just entered his youth. This man felt very familiar to him, like another self, his future self.

What's wrong with me? Could it be that he was anemic and saw hallucinations? The young man shook his head.

"Hey, Zhiki, do you want to know my name?" Shiki automatically skipped the boy's last name and called him by his first name, with a natural closeness.

Shiki nodded involuntarily.

"My name is Shiki, two rituals."

This time it was Shiki's turn to widen his eyes, and the glasses on his nose almost fell off.

Seeing this scene, Shenji finally laughed out loud and laughed.

"That's it, that's what's right, this is what I've been waiting for, hahahaha - then, you two shiki 様, this is not a suitable place to talk, please find another place. When I came here, I saw one ice cream shop after another. I asked everyone eat ice cream."

Ten minutes later, the outdoor parasol of the ice cream parlor.

Shinji looked at Shiki sitting next to him, and then at Shiki and Mikiya sitting opposite him, with a satisfied smile. After watching "Sora no Kyoukai" and "Tsukihime" in his previous life, he thought about doing this, and it finally came true. This is really the best compliment for a senior moon chef.

"Okay, everything is as I said, no need to say anything more, similar beings will attract each other."

"Indeed." Orange, who was sitting next to Shenji, said meaningfully, reaching out and taking off Shiki's eyes.

Zhiki, who had been in a daze, immediately felt dizzy. He staggered and fell down on the table, closed his eyes, and begged: "Those glasses are very important to me, please give them back to me."

"Kid, no one ever taught you to look at the other person when asking for something?" Chengzi turned his glasses around in his hands.

"Um." Zhiki tried his best to open his eyes, adapting to the unfamiliar world in front of him, and fixed his gaze on the face of the eldest sister who rarely spoke. "Please give me your glasses back, please."

"No." Cheng Zi smiled evilly.

"Why is this?" A trace of anger appeared on Zhiki's face.

"Don't be angry, Shiki-kun." Shinji, who was sandwiched between the two, patted Shiki on the shoulder, "Don't you think this sister looks familiar to you?"

Zhiki was stunned and stared at Chengzi's face carefully for a long time. Gradually, he found that the beautiful face in front of him gradually overlapped with the person who was extremely important to him in his memory. The only difference between the two was hair color and eye color, and they looked almost the same.

"Old, teacher - no, you are not a teacher, you are."

"My name is Aozaki Orange, your teacher's sister, if your teacher is named Aozaki Aoko."

Zhiki, who was still a middle school student, did not hear the complexity when Chengzi mentioned the name "Aozaki Aoko". He was filled with joy and nodded repeatedly: "The teacher's name is Aozaki Aoko. Is she okay, teacher?"

"I don't know, I have a grudge against her. Kid, if you meet me, I can only blame you for being unlucky."

Orange took off his glasses angrily, and his cold eyes made Shiki shiver.

"Orange, stop." A hand was inserted between Orange and Shiki.

"Shiki you."

"Don't attack him."

"Why?" Orange, who was in a frost state, looked at him coldly. "Because he has the same name and the same traits as you. Do you regard him as Zhi's substitute? You have to be clear, he is Shiki, not Zhi!"

This question was extremely heart-wrenching, using things that Shiki least wanted to think about to provoke her. This is exactly why Shiki hates oranges. However, Shiki was not angry, and just said calmly: "I know, Zhi is no longer here. But Shiki is still here, and he who has seen the same things as me shouldn’t go to that dark, empty place again.”

Shiki had been floating in that dark, empty, indescribable place during the two years she was in a coma. No one knew the horror there better than her.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, no one understands the horror of that place better than I do."

Shiki's words were hazy, and Zhiki couldn't understand them, but he seemed to understand them. This sister who had the same name as him and whom he felt close to seemed to be able to see the same world as him.

Chengzi looked at the boy and girl, sighed, put on his glasses, and said, "Isn't it just because of this, but also because he looks like Ganya?"

"Orange, orange!" Shi Shi felt a little embarrassed in a rare way.

Seeing this scene, Mikiya smiled knowingly: "Brother Shiki, you don't mind if I call you that. Miss Orange is just scaring you, she is a good person."

"I won't say whether she is a good person or not, but you can rest assured that she will not take out her dissatisfaction with her sister on you." Shenji followed up with persuasion, "There are other reasons why he took away your glasses, right, Orange sister?"

"I'm not as knowledgeable as a minor." Cheng Zi snorted, "Hey, kid, do you know who made this 'Devil Eye Killing' painting?"

Shiki shook his head.

"It's me, using very precious materials. If converted into Japanese yen, it should be worth nine figures. I originally planned to wear it myself, but I didn't expect it to be snatched away by that stupid sister, causing me to have to make another one. , so my debts have increased, you know? What’s even more outrageous is that a single-minded violent idiot, and he transformed it into such a tacky style, which really doesn’t make any progress at all.”

The more Chengzi talked, the angrier she became. The glasses called "Magic Eye Killer" squeaked in her slender hands, which made Zhiki feel distressed.

"Um, Teacher Orange." After hesitating, Zhiki decided to call Orange by the same title as Aoko.

Before he could continue, Orange guessed what he meant: "Don't worry, the things made by Aozaki Orange are not that fragile, even if that violent maniac wants to destroy them, it won't be that easy."

Zhiki decided to ignore Chengzi's complaints about Aoko. He had no right to talk about matters between elders and sisters.

"But, there is one thing Qingzi doesn't know. This 'Demon Eye Killer' can't suppress your eyes forever. One day your eyes will grow to the point that it can't suppress them. What are you going to do at that time? Like Are you closing your eyes like that just now and never looking at the world?"

"me."

This was the first time Zhiki heard such a thing. He felt helpless and panicked. As a young boy, he couldn't imagine facing this broken world all day long.

"What should I do?"
