Survival: King Picking Game

Fei Cui, who greeted the door, bowed to the glasses boy, and said calmly.

"Ah...Okay. Also, Master Shiki..."

The boy scratched his head, a little embarrassed.He looked slightly flustered by the maid's respectful attitude.

"This...I'll take the luggage myself."

Seeing Emerald's slender figure, the boy couldn't help but say this.

——Tohno Shiki spent the previous eight years as a simple boy living in ordinary people's homes, and he didn't seem to be quite used to the corrupt life of the bourgeoisie.

... In addition, he didn't seem to recognize his childhood playmate in the first place.

At this time, Tono Akiba had already arrived at the door.

The girl suppressed her excitement, and in a calm tone, said the reunion moment that she had been imagining repeatedly for eight years——

"Brother Zhigui, long time no..."

Tohno Akiba's words had just reached the point where she suddenly stopped.

Her face suddenly turned pale.

"Ugh...?!"

A creepy chill spread from the girl's spine up to her brain.

Instinctive fear.

It seemed that some kind of ominous omen had been sensed——

The cold chill made her body instantly stiff.

what happened?

Tono Akiba slowly turned his head away.

--Who is that?

Behind Brother Shiki, there was another person standing.

Is a tall man.

Strangely, he wears a V-shaped gold mask on his face.So I can't see his face clearly.

……strangeness.

Tono Akiba couldn't help but have confused thoughts.

There was an inexplicable strange feeling in her heart.

For the masked man in front of her, the girl was sure that this was her first meeting, but she still had a subtle sense of familiarity.

It's like being shrouded in smoke, and the impression of a man is like a mirror image.

(The golden mask provided by [Masquerade Ball] is issued by the central system and has the ability to "completely conceal identity". It includes body shape and appearance)

At this moment, the cold chill that swept through the whole body disappeared at some point.

Come and go quickly.It seemed that the ominous premonition before was just an illusion.

But...whether it is true or not, the joy of meeting my brother has disappeared at this moment.

"Ah, it's Qiuba, you recently..."

At this moment, Tohno Shiki was also filled with excitement and joy because of the reunion after a long absence.

He was just about to say hello to his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but was interrupted coldly.

"Brother, who is he?"

"Uh……"

Tohno Shiki choked.

His gaze turned to the masked man behind him.

The other party looked calm and composed, with a gentle smile showing under the mask, as if he had no intention of explaining.

The boy secretly sighed in his heart.

Although I don't know if my sister will agree...

"This... is my friend."

He said with some embarrassment.

"Although I know it's a bit abrupt to say so, can you let him live in our house?"

Hearing such a request, Tono Akiba couldn't help but frowned.

"please!"

Without further ado, Tohno Shiki bowed ninety degrees to his sister.

This is also... for the good of my sister.He thought so.
