【Master Ming】Golden Day of the Gods

May 201X

Towards the end of school on Friday, the sky suddenly turned leaden gray, followed by a downpour of rain.Akechi Goro, who forgot to bring his umbrella, watched his classmates leave in twos and threes, and no one offered to share an umbrella with him in the end.Even when he went back, he faced the sarcastic comments from his relatives, so he was happy to study in the quiet library, and finally packed his books and went back when the rain subsided.

But when he left the school gate and was about to trot to the station, an umbrella suddenly covered him.Akechi was taken aback, and when he looked back, the one holding the umbrella for him was a completely unfamiliar black-haired boy.He was about the same height as himself, and his childish face looked younger than himself, but those night sky-like eyes showed nostalgia.

From the Xuelan uniform he was wearing, he could be recognized as a student from another school, but he had no impression of this person.Zhizhi was puzzled and said to him politely: "Thank you for the umbrella, are you...?"

The raindrops slapped on the transparent umbrella surface, making pleasant white noise.The black-haired boy stared at him for a while, then smiled sincerely.

"I've always wanted to see you, wise."

These words made Zhizhi reach the peak of vigilance after a brief brain blank.

"Why do you know my name?"

"Because I am a god."

The boy said solemnly, wisely opening his eyes wide in surprise.

"...Just kidding. You are the first in the grade for the mock test."

"You are not a student of our school, how do you know such a thing?"

Zhizhi was not convinced, but looked at the boy in front of him more vigilantly.The latter touched his curly black hair that had fallen due to humidity, and gently persuaded:

"Talk while walking, or you will get wet."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'd rather be in the rain."

This guy is a stalker?Akechi avoids him and walks out with strange unease.After taking two steps, the voice behind him sounded again.

"I want to be friends with you."

Zhizhi stopped and looked back, the strange boy stepped forward and stared at him, it didn't look like he was joking.This made Zhizhi jump in his heart, and quickly looked away.

"I, I don't know you at all, suddenly what friend—"

The other party seemed to mutter something, and then forced the umbrella in his hand to Akechi.

"My name is Niwa, Niwa Sakuya. I really want to make friends with you, please think about it."

Before Zhizhi could react, the boy in black brushed past him and left.Zhizhi just wanted to stop him, but when he turned around, he found that the figure had disappeared.He stood in the rain and fog in May, looking blankly at the umbrella in his hand.

"friend……"

The man said to make friends, why did he sound like asking him if he wants to date?

After that, the boy's figure no longer appeared in front of him.

Zhizhi was a little concerned at first, and would look back and forth every time he left the school gate, for fear that someone would suddenly pat him on the shoulder behind him.But what he was worried about never happened, and after a few days, he put the adventure of that day behind him.

With a trace of inexplicable regret.

A week passed like this, and it happened to be another Friday.Akechi encountered bigger troubles than the rainstorm after school.

He has no friends since he was a child. He can't say the specific reason, but he knows it in his heart.In kindergarten and elementary school, children judge each other by their parents.And his mother died young, and he, who had never seen his father since birth, naturally became the object of exclusion.I thought it would be better if I went to middle school, but that was just another microcosm of society.He has been among relatives since he was a child, and he went to a public middle school in order to reduce tuition fees for school assistance, and he always maintained a good grade of No.1 in school.But the mask of a top student also brought him a lot of disproportionate troubles, maybe because he was jealous of his grades, or maybe he just didn't like him because he was loved by the teacher, and things happened to him secretly.

like now.

"What kind of top student, always smiling hypocritically, it's disgusting to watch."

"It's because of you that we are treated like trash by the school."

The three delinquents forced Zhizhi into a secluded corner of the school, and their words were full of contempt.Two boys supported him, one on the left and one on the right, and the third grabbed him by the collar.

"Speaking of which, you went to inform me, right? We skipped class."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Stop pretending! If you can't beat us, we will sue? Huh? It's really easy for you to be a top student."

"I've never fought with you once." Zhizhi retorted calmly, "Besides, it's not a secret that you skipped class, so why should I tell you about it?"

"Did I let you talk! Tsk, this mouth is too annoying, just burn it to pieces."

Wisely watched the student take out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, and held the cigarette close to his face with two fingers.The other two delinquents seemed to have perverted expectations that this frail scholar would pee his pants in a second, hehe sneered, and watched Zhizhi's gradually distorted expression.

Click, a mechanical sound abruptly cut off the tense atmosphere.Zhizhi looked up, and saw a black figure standing in front of him, putting down his phone unhurriedly, as if he wanted them to see it on purpose.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The student with the cigarette butt let go of Zhizhi and rushed over to snatch the phone, but was lightly flashed by the other party, and flew out and fell into the mud.The visitor shrugged, and waved his mobile phone nonchalantly at the rest of the bad guys.

"I just took a picture of it. Cigarette butts, and what you did. If you don't want me to inform the school, it's better to let this person go?"

"Asshole! You're not a student here, are you? Mind your own business!"

"It's my freedom to mind my own business, so do you want to let it go?"

The wise two looked at each other, and finally had to let him go.Zhizhi hesitated for a moment, then ran to the person who saved him-although it was not attractive to stay anywhere, but this guy was better than burning his own dregs with cigarette butts.

The black-haired boy who only appeared on Fridays after school held Wise's hand, and before he could protest, he made a solemn statement to those bad people:

"By the way, don't forget that I still have evidence in my hand, so please don't pester him anymore. As soon as he says he has been retaliated against, I will immediately send the photo to the school."

"Who are you kid! If you dare to do such a thing, you will be the next one to suffer!"

"I'm a wise friend." The dark-haired boy replied, ignoring the shocked look that wise gave him. "If you want to come, I will accompany you. But who will suffer is not sure."

The three delinquents stared at them, but none of them dared to speak out.Niwa Sakuya squeezed Akechi's hand and pulled him away without looking back.

Being brought all the way to the road, Zhizhi finally recovered from the shock just now, pulled out his tightly held hand, and shouted to the boy in front of him without thinking:

"Are you a stalker!"

The boy turned around and patted his head helplessly.

"It's too much, calling the person who just saved you a stalker."

Akechi was tongue-tied for a moment, but since this person appeared in front of his eyes, things seemed to be out of control.His mind was so confused that he could only complain along his original train of thought:

"But, you suddenly appeared there, after all, how did you know that I was there? Isn't it too strange to say that it's a coincidence?"

"Because I haven't seen you after waiting for a long time, so I entered the school without authorization to find you."

"That's not the problem!" Zhizhi almost went crazy, "I mean why did you find me?"

"Because I want to be your friend."

The other party's natural and exhausting answer made it difficult for Zhizhi to continue, and he began to wonder if there was something wrong with the person in front of him.

"And if I don't go, your pretty face will be burned, right?"

"..."

"Or is it that you are confident that you can retreat unscathed, and am I really meddling?"

Uncomfortable being stared at by those direct eyes, Akechi looked away.

"This……"

"Aren't you playing any crooked ideas?"

"The victim is me!"

Seeing Akechi who was furious, Niwa smiled instead.

"I'm sorry, but I'm also very puzzled. How could you obediently hold your hand and catch him without any resistance?"

"...What is this statement, are you familiar with me?"

Niwa didn't answer, but only smiled faintly, as if sentimental and nostalgic.Not here, but close at hand.Familiar streets, unfamiliar people.There is a feeling in Zhizhi's bewilderment that he probably has some kind of connection with this person.

"Have we... met somewhere before?"

Niwa's smile deepened, and his eyes looked younger than he looked.Such simple pleasures never occur in a wise life.He was stunned by this pleasure, and for some reason, his heart, which was originally full of doubts, was shaken.

"Peach flavored carbonated and apple flavored black tea. Which would you like?"

"...Apple's."

Niwa handed out the drink in his left hand to Akechi, and Akechi took it and said thank you in a low voice. The two sat on the bench in Inokashira Park, watching the wild ducks on the lake combing their feathers.Akechi held the drink can and talked about his reasons for not fighting back.

If you want to fight with them, not only will the current school aid be cancelled, but it will also affect the evaluation of further studies. The worst possibility is that the scholarship of the target high school will be lost.For him, who lives in a relative's house, it is undoubtedly a big trouble.

"I want to be independent earlier. I went to high school and wanted to live alone. If it wasn't for this, how could I let those garbage..."

Saying so, Akechi gripped the drink can tightly.He didn't know why he said these things to this man, knowing that he had never told anyone about these things.However, facing this strange boy, the truth flowed out unconsciously.

"I can understand your feelings." Niwa said, "I also want to go to high school early so that I can live independently in Tokyo."

Akechi looked at him in surprise, "Don't you go to school in Tokyo? Wait, who are you after all? Why did you know my name and why did you come to me?"

"You know my name. I'm one year younger than you, a second-year middle school student, I live in Chiba, and I come to see you every Friday on the Sobu Line."

Akechi almost coughed up the black tea in his mouth.

"Chiba?? You came to Tokyo to find someone who doesn't know you?! You must be a stalker!"

The black-haired boy looked up at the sky with a wry smile, "Stalker is too ugly... Where did I meet you, and you wouldn't believe me if I told you. If I have a chance, I'll tell you."

"...can I ask a question?"

"Ok?"

"You said that you want to come to Tokyo to study high school, so it must be because of me?"

"Ah."

The moment he nodded, Akechi stood up abruptly, said "Thank you for the drink and goodbye" and turned around to leave. Niwa yelled, "Wait, wait, wait" before he gave him a look full of contempt.

"You say you're not a stalker, do you know how unreliable that is?"

Niwa sighed and explained calmly:

"I want to come to Tokyo to be with you, there's no doubt about that. But not just for you."

Maybe this person can't say words related to friendship normally, or maybe his heart is too dirty to see anything normal.Akechi looked suspiciously at the boy with bright eyes, and asked him what he wanted to do.

"save the world."

Niwa Sakuya showed a domineering smile befitting of a junior high school boy.

Not only is that person in the second grade, but he is also a true second-year sickness.

Akechi went back to the host relative's house dejectedly, threw the bag on the chair in the room, and collapsed on the narrow bed.Only 5 square meters, a utility room with nothing but a bed and desk, that is his room.Relatives wouldn't prepare dinner for him, so while nibbling on the rice balls he bought at the convenience store, he turned on his phone - it showed that he had a new message.He suddenly felt that the rice balls were a little hard to swallow, so he opened the chat app with a frown.The new information that popped up was, as it should be, the Second Second Disease.

"It seems to have caused you a little trouble today, I'm sorry. 』

Not at all, idiot!

"But I'm glad you could give me the contact information.I thought you would never give it to me. 』

"Please make no mistake, I gave you the contact information because I don't want you to come uninvited."

Akechi typed quickly, full of resentment.

『These two times are really helpless, until you trust me, I can only do this. 』

"...So you're forcing me to say "I believe you" now, Niwa-san?"

"Just call me Sakuya.That's not what I mean, I'm not going to force Sensei to do anything you don't want to do. 』

"...But if I don't believe you, will you keep coming to my school and waiting for me?"

"That's right. 』

Look, it really is a stalker!By the way, don't answer so decisively, okay?

"I understand. I believe in you, please don't come again."

Suddenly there was silence.I didn't expect to be quite sensible by accident?Zhizhi was very surprised, just a few seconds after putting down the phone, there was a message notification tone.What are you doing, Akechi frowned and turned on the phone, it was indeed a letter from that guy.

"However, as friends, there is something wrong with not seeing each other, right? 』

"I never said I wanted to be friends with you, did I?"

"That can't be done, this is my ultimate goal.Until it is achieved, I can only maintain the status quo. 』

Seeing this remark, Mingzhi was terrified, and pressed his phone.

"Wait a minute! What good does this do for you? Shouldn't ordinary people shrink back! We've been rejected so many times!"

"First of all, I'm not an ordinary person.Secondly, it is of course beneficial for me to do so, and I still count on you to help me with my homework. 』

Zhizhi stared at the phone screen back and forth several times before making sure he read it correctly.

"You didn't come to Tokyo so hard to study, did you?"

"of course not. 』

"Then why do you want to be friends with me?"

"Do you need many reasons to be friends with someone? 』

Zhizhi was stopped by this sentence, his fingers stopped on the screen, and he couldn't help stroking the word "friend".

Once upon a time, he had longed for this word, and then was severely frustrated by it.

Friendship seems to be something that can be seen everywhere and everyone has it at their fingertips, but it is more difficult for him than being the first in ten grades.Study hard, meet the expectations of adults, learn to put on a smiling mask to avoid injury, and suppress your true self. .

He avoids this man because he has never accepted the normal kindness of his peers.His side is full of jealousy, envy, admiration, contempt...anyone who looks up or looks down, but no one treats him as an equal, just like the most ordinary friends.

But this guy said he just wanted to be friends with himself, for no reason.Zhi Zhi couldn't believe it, he had never had a friend, would anyone want to be friends with him for no reason?

"...I don't know, because I don't have any friends."

That's all he could answer.It was unimaginable before to expose one's weak side in front of someone.But Niwa Sakuya seems to have a kind of magical power. Although he seems to be erratic and plays cards irrationally, for some reason, he has a wonderful persuasive power, which makes him nowhere to hide.

After half a minute, there was a response from the phone.

"Then, let me be wise's first friend. 』
