"It should be almost here, right?"

Kayaba Akihiko stepped out of his future fantasy, raised his hand and looked at the time, looking at the street in the distance, waiting for someone to arrive.

"coming."

At the end of the street, a figure slowly approached.

The dazzling golden hair is extremely eye-catching in the setting sun.

Kayaba Akihiko looked at the indifferent expression on the visitor's face that had not changed for thousands of years, and the aura that was vaguely superior to all things in the world. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this guy's chuunibyou seemed to be getting more and more serious. After traveling for so many years, it seemed that

It also failed to smooth out his bad temper.

But that's strange to say.

During his college days, a young man named Jinjigal had always had this stinky face. Logically speaking, no one should be able to stand it, but surprisingly, especially among women's groups, Jinjigal has always maintained a very stinky face.

High popularity.

Kayaba later heard about this from Rinko Kamishiro.

Kayaba Akihiko shook his head, took two steps forward, and said hello.

"Long time no see, Jinji."

"Um."

Jinjigal raised his head and glanced at the building next to him, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "Kayaba, I saw it right, you are a little better than the mediocre people I met before, and you actually opened a business by yourself.

company, but with your talents, it would be too wasteful to stay in such a small place."

"I think it's quite appropriate."

Kayaba Akihiko looked at Jinjigar's profile and felt that he was different in some aspects compared to his college days.

There were cars passing by on the road next to me.

Kayaba Akihiko buried his confusion in his heart and said, "Let's go up to the second floor and talk."

————

Inside the laboratory on the second floor.

Jinjigal looked around, taking in the various machines around him, then sat on the only sofa against the wall, crossed his legs and said lightly: "You have been busy with these boring things all these years.

?”

"It's not boring, at least I personally like it."

Kayaba Akihiko knew that Jinjigar's life attitude of "live in this world and enjoy yourself immediately", so he was unwilling to continue to struggle with him on this issue.

The subject of the discussion changed to Jinjigal himself.

"What about you? You left without saying goodbye seven years ago, went abroad and haven't come back until now. I'm afraid it's not just because of family pressure, right?"

"Hmph, even though those old guys are pressing hard, they can't stop my will."

"Then why?"

Jinjigal turned his head and looked out the window. There was an indescribable feeling of loneliness in his red pupils, but this feeling of loneliness was quickly hidden by him.

However, although this change in temperament was fleeting, it was still noticed by Kayaba Akihiko.

After all, Jinjigal is like a sun hanging in the sky. If its own light is obscured by clouds, it can also be quickly felt by humans on the ground who have been bathed in the light for a long time.

"You may think it's a bit ridiculous to say it, but it doesn't matter." Jinjigal said calmly: "In my life for a long time, I really feel that I am lacking something."

Hearing this, Kayaba Akihiko nodded secretly.

In the past, Jinjigal still liked to hide his middle-class attributes, but now he no longer bothers to hide them.

Thinking that he had something to ask Jinjigar for later, Kayaba Akihiko followed his words.

"Are these the treasures you mentioned?"

"Collecting treasures is just a hobby of mine." Jinjigal said disdainfully: "What's more, all the treasures in the world combined are missing the part in my heart."

"Okay, I probably understand."

Kayaba Akihiko turned around, thinking that Jinjigar should still be the same as before and didn't like drinking coffee, so he took out a bottle of red wine from the refrigerator, poured himself a cup, and poured another cup for Jinjigar.

"I think I roughly understand the purpose of your trip. Since you are back in Japan now, you must have gained something, right?"

"Hmph...hahaha..." Jin Jigar cast an admiring look at Kayaba Akihiko, with a happy expression on his face: "So I like to talk to smart people, and ordinary mediocre people, I am not even interested in talking.

Can’t get up.”

"Thank you for the compliment." Kayaba Akihiko took a sip of red wine and replied with a helpless expression.

"As you think." Jinjigal's red pupils revealed a hint of excitement, and even the smile on his face became gentle: "After searching for seven years, I finally found the treasure that is more precious than any other in the world.

That is, my best friend."

"Your best friend?"

Kayaba Akihiko almost threw his cup to the ground.

After working on it for a long time, the thing you were looking for turned out to be a person.

"Are you a foreigner?"

"Um."

Kayaba Akihiko took two steps back and forth.

He really couldn't understand that he traveled all over the world just to find the person in his imagination. The most ridiculous thing was that Jin Ji actually found this person in his imagination.

Now, Kayaba Akihiko is starting to wonder if Jinji has been deceived?

However, even though he was a little bit in the middle, with the dual blessings of IQ and luck, he would not be deceived...

Um...it looks like it's really hard to say...

Kayaba Akihiko stared at Jinjigar and swore from the bottom of his heart.

I have never seen such a gentle expression on Jinjigal's face.

Who is Jinjigal?

When he was in college, he said personally, 'Most of the human beings in this world are mediocre, and they don't even have the ability to exist in the world and exert their own value. If you look at them more, you will feel even more disgusted'.

Even for humans like Kayaba Akihiko, who Jinji considered to be 'curable', he never showed a gentle smile.

If Jinjigal keeps treating people like this, he will definitely be more popular in college, right?

"Wait a minute." Kayaba Akihiko suddenly realized something. He put down his wine glass and asked seriously: "Kingichi, did you bring that foreigner back to Japan?"

"Of course." Jinjigal played with the wine glass in his hand and said without raising his head: "Although I don't want to say it, I have to admit that living in Japan is indeed more convenient than living in the Middle East. In addition, the Middle East has not been very popular recently.

It was peaceful, so I took her back to the country first."

"Ahem, isn't it a girl?"

Jinjigal frowned, then nodded and admitted.

This made Kayaba Akihiko, a person whose mind contains 80% of scientific research materials, arouse curiosity: "Could it be that you are dating that foreign girl?"

"Kayaba! I didn't expect you to be such a vulgar person!"

Jinjigal snorted coldly, put down his wine glass, and slowly stood up from the sofa: "The relationship between me and my best friend is a relationship that is above love! Don't use love to insult me ​​and my best friend!"

At this moment, a person walked in outside the laboratory and heard the last conversation between the two.

"Senior Jinji, you are still the same as before."

Rinko Kamishiro, who was wearing a light blue short shirt, walked beside Kayaba Akihiko, looked at Jinjigar carefully, and smiled: "But compared to before, there are still some changes. Is it because of that girl?

?”

"Talk too much!"

Jinjigal was already a little impatient, so he left his best friend and came to see Kayaba Akihiko. If it was just because of these trivial matters, it would be too boring.

If this is the case, we should redefine Kayaba's identity in the future.

How about ordinary people who have some talent but are completely boring in their work?

"Kayaba, let me tell you what you asked me to come here for. I have no patience to wait any longer."

Jinjigal crossed his arms and looked at Kayaba Akihiko coldly.

Kayaba Akihiko glanced at Rinko Kamishiro who was beside him and had already arrived, so he no longer had to talk about those irrelevant topics. He took the time to ask Jinji to cooperate and try to do a few more experiments before ten o'clock.

"Jinji, actually I just told you about one of my research results. There is actually a second use for real-time holographic projection technology."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Jinjigal waved his hand: "If you just want to show me the results of your experiments over the past seven years, then I can only tell you that I am not interested in these things at all. I was, am, and will be in the future!"

"Don't worry." Kayaba Akihiko smiled and said: "Instant holographic projection, the biggest function of this technology is to project human fantasy into reality."

“Projecting fantasy into reality?”

Jinjigal, who was about to walk out, stopped.
