Chapter 444 All this is your own choice(1/2)
"..."
Facing Tokiwa Shogo's gaze, Edith's eyes widened slightly and her mouth opened, but she couldn't say anything.
What should he do...?
have no idea.
Edith hadn't thought about it yet.
Previously, he only thought about the scene of accusation and questioning.
Moreover, in those scenes, he stood on the moral high ground.
He thought King Shi was sorry for them, so he subconsciously felt that King Shi was also guilty of them.
Therefore, in his imagination, there was an angry and angry Shi-King, an angry and threatening Shi-King, and a guilty-minded Shi-King who retorted, but he never thought...if Shi-King calmly, or even indifferently admitted,
What should he do?
Tokiwa Shougo looked at Edith who was frozen in place with a hint of confusion on his face, lowered his head and scratched Yuryusen's chin, and said: "Adnis once told me that he once issued a ban on talking about the earth.
The prohibition means - abandon the past and start over.
I will not comment on this yet.
However, if you don’t talk about it, you won’t talk about it. As an old man who came to this world from the earth, your memory will not be lost because of this ‘not talking about’, right?
I saved all of you, and now you question whether I harmed Adnis's wife. So, next, are you going to blame me for the origin of the Red Death?
Edith, you don't trust me.
Although, you agreed with Adnis’s decision to honor me as king.”
Having said this, Tokiwa Shougo spread his hands, raised his head, and looked at Edith.
"Frankly speaking, you never wanted to be my people from the beginning. You were afraid of being ruled by me."
Hearing this, Edith subconsciously retorted: "No, I...I really wanted to respect you as king."
"Ah, I understand."
Tokiwa Shougo nodded.
"You think this world after I have revived you is a paradise, with a prosperous and happy life. You can make your life better and better through the knowledge you have learned. You are afraid of losing it all, so you agree to what Adnis wants.
You decided to recognize me as your king, but you didn’t want me to interfere in your lives, so you ignored my warning to you...
"And now, when disaster strikes, you come here and say to me - King of Time, are you responsible for all this?
"No respect for me at all."
Tokiwa Shougo looked at Edith and shook his head slightly.
"You don't regard me as your king, and you don't even want to address me as 'Your Majesty the King of Time'."
Tokiwa Shougo opened it with his right hand, gestured to the report documents on the desktop, and continued.
"When you should have reported your work to me and discussed how to defeat the Red Death more effectively, you came to ask me if I was the one who brought the Red Death to you..."
Hearing this, Edith couldn't help but interrupt: "I just want to know the truth."
"That's not the truth, that's just your conjecture." Tokiwa Shougo said, "In fact, it was under my leadership that the Red Death epidemic was brought under control."
However, facing this fact, Edith frowned tightly.
"If you really caused the Red Death, of course you can control it!"
This sentence came out of his mouth, spurred by a feeling of "unconvincedness" in his heart.
After finishing speaking, Edith's expression froze.
He seemed to know that this sentence was too rude. He recalled what Adnis had warned him before coming in and quickly added.
"...I just want you to tell me the truth yourself."
However, it would be better not to mention Edith's additional explanation.
Tokiwa Shogo, who had already darkened his face before, now his eyes were even darker.
He finally rubbed Yu Liusen's head, put Yu Liusen on the table, stood up, and walked out of the chair.
"Edith, Edith."
Across the desk, Tokiwa Shogo spread his hands and said.
"What have I done to make you disrespect me so much?"
Taking steps forward, Tokiwa Shogo said as he walked towards Edith.
"If you come to me today as one of my people to ask me how the Red Death is formed and how to develop a drug to treat it, you will only get a perfect answer today, which is what I have prepared.
What a good thing to give you."
Tokiwa Shogo walked up to Edith and looked into his eyes.
"As long as you are my people, then your enemies are also my enemies..."
Tokiwa Shougo raised his hand, raised a finger, pointed at Edith for a moment, paused, and continued.
"In this way, no matter who or what the enemy is, there is nothing to fear."
After finishing his words, Tokiwa Shougo dropped his fingers and stopped talking. Instead, he looked down at Edith, waiting for his answer.
Looking at Edith again, I don't know which sentence he started from, he no longer dared to look directly into Tokiwa Shougo's eyes.
At this time, Edith said to Tokiwa Shougo:
"...I was wrong, I shouldn't have made those assumptions..."
This is the truth.
"……sorry……"
Edith bent deeply towards Tokiwa Shogo.
"His Majesty the King of Time."
Looking at Edith who finally showed his surrender, Tokiwa Shogo was silent for a moment, raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"very good."
Then he turned two steps, sat on the edge of the desk, and looked at Edith.
"Let's start the report."
After hearing this, Edith stood up, turned to Tokiwa Shougo, and respectfully began to report the results of his work during this period.
After listening, Tokiwa Shougo nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, it seems that you haven't wasted your time on random thoughts these days."
He moved his palm back, picked up the memory he had placed on the table before, and moved it forward...
And when the memory that Tokiwa Shogo had used to tease Yuryusen before was brought to him, it had turned into a file bag filled with research reports on the Red Death.
"No, with your current research progress, you should be able to understand what's going on here."
"This is……?"
Facing the document bag handed over by Shogo Tokiwa, Edith bent down, took it with both hands, and subconsciously asked.
To this, Tokiwa Shougo chuckled and told Edith the answer calmly.
"This is an effective plan for treating the red death disease developed by Igor in the future."
Tokiwa Shogo's words made Edith's eyes widen in astonishment.
"Future... Igor's plan?"
"That's right."
Tokiwa Shogo explained Edith's surprise.
"I am the King of Time, isn't it natural that I can do this?"
Tokiwa Shougo smiled.
However……
This is a lie.
Tokiwa Shougo did not get that research data from the future in the true sense, but from his past history.
That's right, the memory that became the predecessor of this research material is the memory that Igor gave to Tokiwa Shogo before.
Woz once told Yamauchi Gosunari and Tsukimura Akari that it was his honor for Igor to dedicate his life to his Majesty the Demon King.
Obviously, this is what it refers to.
To be honest, as an active high school student, Tokiwa Shogo is still a scumbag, and his knowledge reserve itself is very limited.
It can be said that in terms of research, Tokiwa Shogo is definitely not as good as Edith.
However, Tokiwa Shogo is a king, not a researcher.
To be continued...
