Chapter 516 Eight Years
Kirino's hand that opened the door froze.
To be honest, the excitement just now disappeared completely after hearing what Hong Tu said. He really doesn't want to admit that this guy is his "adoptive father", ah no, just a guardian, a guardian.
So he put on a sullen face and said indifferently, "I'm back."
Hong Tu's expression suddenly became sad, and he looked like he wanted to cry but didn't want to cry: "Does the little shepherd dislike me, dad? He is not even happy to see me."
The tone and expression were on point. Kirino's forehead twitched when he saw it, and he couldn't even say the words of concern that were on his lips just now. In the end, I could only focus on the only strange "person".
Mana watched this scene expressionlessly behind Hong Tu. When Kirino looked over, she nodded politely and introduced herself to him: "Hello, I am Mana."
Kirino's eyes hidden behind the lenses flickered, and he nodded in return to Mana: "Hello, my name is Kirino Makoto, and I can barely be regarded as this guy's adopted son."
Kirino admitted it simply now.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Hong Tu stopped her drama and took Mana directly into the house, and then sat on the sofa.
Kirino took out a can of drink from the refrigerator, placed it in front of Hong Tu, and then looked at Mana hesitantly.
"Thank you for your kindness," Mana understood what the other person meant and shook her head, "I don't need human food."
"Sorry." Kirino apologized and sat on another sofa.
Hong Tu opened the drink can with ease, took a satisfied sip, and looked at Kirino quietly.
Kirino stared at him as well. During this meeting, Kirino could no longer see the essence of Hong Tu at all. There was no dark aura, no inhuman characteristics, as if the person in front of him was just an ordinary human being.
After a while, Hong Tu suddenly said with emotion: "The little shepherd has grown up too."
His tone was rare and serious. Compared with the exaggerated old father's tone he showed before, now he sounded more like a father who truly cared about his children and lamented their growth.
In his eyes, Kirino has become good enough. His light was bright and warm, without the dark aura before he left, only the pure human light. This child has gotten rid of the shadow of the past and has truly let go of the knot in his heart.
"You have been away for eight years," Kirino pushed up his glasses and said, "Eight years is not a short time for humans. I am already an adult."
"Then you have a girlfriend?" Hong Tu asked from his soul, "When can I show it to my father?"
Kirino: "...Asami successfully joined the Super Victory Team."
Kirino forcefully changed the subject and refused to discuss the issue of his girlfriend. Apparently he is still single.
But presumably, he didn't intend to look for it either. Kirino's superpower, to a certain extent, cuts off the possibility of in-depth communication with other people.
"That's right." Hong Tu was not surprised and changed the subject. He nodded proudly, "After all, it's little Asami."
"Are you going to see her?"
"Tomorrow, give her a surprise tomorrow."
"She and Silla are both worried about you." Tongye's expression was still as cold as ever, but Hong Tu could hear the awkwardness in his tone.
"Sorry for making you worry." Hong Tu looked at him seriously and showed a gentle smile.
Kirino nodded and said something about Asami. Asami's admission scores are very good, she is now the ace gunner in the Super Victory Team, and other trivial matters.
Hong Tu listened very carefully, but when he finished, he asked an unexpected question: "What about you? Have you ever gone to see your parents?"
Kirino hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, after that battle, they took the initiative to call me." Kirino said softly, "They apologized to me and invited me to see my brothers and sisters."
After that final battle, his parents, who had come out of despair, seemed to have figured something out, apologized to him sincerely, and came to visit him. Although their tone was very unfamiliar and reserved, Kirino knew that their guilt was sincere. that's enough.
He said it lightly, but Hong Tu could imagine his mood at that time. Probably excited and happy, maybe a little sad.
They talked like this until the night, because they talked about their respective trivial matters over the years, which was a rare warmth.
When the time was almost up, Hong Tu drove Kirino to bed.
Hong Tu took Mana to the room where Asami was originally located and asked her to stay here tonight. Afterwards, Hong Tu returned to his original room.
This room is still the same as it was before he left. He tidied up a little, and did not rush to sleep. Instead, he took out the dark circle, put it at hand, and looked at the starry sky through the window with the dark circle.
"I actually feel a little nostalgic when I come back here." Hong Tu smiled and poked the ring.
"..." Yes, you were still very weak back then and couldn't live without me. Look at you now! Scumbag!
Dark Circle never wanted to deal with Hong Tu since he came to this world, but now he exploded when he heard Hong Tu speak. It’s really that this world has given it such a bad impression!
Hong Tu didn't care about Yuan Huan's little temper, but comforted him: "Don't you feel it? There are a lot more strange smells here. There seem to be a lot of monsters."
Dark Circle: "..." Well, it's already here anyway, it doesn't matter.
Hong Tu said nothing and looked at it quietly, waiting for its next words.
Sure enough, not long after, the dark ring flashed again: "..." Keep the monster for me, don't eat it secretly!
Hong Tu laughed and rubbed her fingertips familiarly: "Yes, yes, I will give you half of it when the time comes."
Only then did the Dark Circle become contented and quiet. Well, Huan is still so easy to coax today.
…
The next day, Kirino continued to work.
He also did some work at TPC, so he naturally needed to go to work. After explaining to Hong Tu, Kirino went out directly.
Hong Tu took Mana to try to find Kallen. But Kallen is not on earth. According to the well-informed little monsters, she went to Mars and never came back.
Hong Tu thought about it and decided not to go to Mars for the time being, so he took Mana directly to the base of the TPC Super Victory Team.
"Hello, I'm here to find someone," Hong Tu stood at the door of the base with Mana in casual clothes and said to the guard, "I'm here to see someone, uh..." Daughter?
Hong Tu hesitated for a moment, suddenly not knowing what to say.
But fortunately there was no need for him to say anything, because the person he was looking for had already ran out impatiently.
The first one to fly out was Sirah. This bird miraculously sensed Hong Tu's aura and flew out directly. Mami, who had the same belief as Silla, naturally learned of Hong Tu's arrival, and immediately ran out with Silla impatiently.
"Mr. Red!"
Today’s small theater:
Tiga in the eyes of the dark ring: Heretic! He actually gave up the power of darkness and used the power of light! It actually worked! Do you know that you are teaching a bad child like this (Hong Tu)! Look at what this kid (Hong Tu) has been learning from you all day long. Fortunately, he hasn’t succeeded yet. But what if he succeeds? Who will be responsible? ! You? !
