Hanekawa Tsubasa, who was walking in front of him, said, “The reason is simple. You will feel better when you smile, right?”

Asakura Yu thought it was some deeper reason: “Indeed, I can’t refute it.”

“You’ve said this to me before…” Hanekawa Tsubasa’s voice was very soft.

“what?”

“It’s alright if you didn’t hear it clearly.”

Chapter 184 The Streets Ten Years Ago

A day later, I came to Hanekawa’s house again.

Compared to yesterday’s anticipation, Asakura Yu’s mood was undoubtedly a little heavier.

Standing in front of this house that was like a huge mouth of an abyss, ready to devour anyone he chose, he had a lot to say to Hanekawa Tsubasa, but he didn’t know how to start.

“The door is open.”

Asakura Yuu soon discovered something unusual.

Then, the two approached cautiously.

There was a sound coming from the entrance, seemingly from the living room.

“I haven’t seen you for half a month, and you’ve made such a mess at home. Why did I marry a woman like you in the first place?”

A slightly tired male voice was heard. It should be Hanekawa Tsubasa’s father who had just returned from a business trip and was complaining.

Seeing that the woman didn’t reply, the man asked again, “Where’s Xiaoyi?”

Still no reply.

“You didn’t even ask about your daughter’s absence?”

“She’s not my daughter, not even your daughter,” the woman finally spoke.

The man’s voice became even more tired. “Even if we are not related by blood, we will raise her until she reaches adulthood. We agreed on this a long time ago.”

—-

At the door, Asakura Yu was a little confused.

Wait, the monitor and her father are not related by blood?

This, this is a bit messy.

Her parents have no blood relationship with her, so where did Hanekawa Tsubasa come from? How did she get into this family? She couldn’t have emerged from a crack in the rock, right?

“It’s getting late, you should go back first.”

“You want me to go home in this situation? Your parents are arguing!”

Am I shameless for abandoning a woman and running away?

“It will be dangerous later.”

Soon, as she expected.

There was a sound of smashing things in the room, the sound of a chair falling to the ground, plates and porcelain bowls falling to the ground, and then the iron spatula…

The more Asakura Yu listened, the more he felt that he should take Hanekawa Tsubasa and run away tonight.

This house is unacceptable. A beautiful girl in her prime cannot go in there… It’s too dangerous. Who knows what kind of madness Hanekawa Tsubasa’s mentally ill, non-blood-related mother will go through. Her father may not be able to stop her.

“I’ll just go back to my room and hide for a while.”

“Are you sure? I know you are smart and well-read, having read an entire library before the age of 15, but this is not the time to joke.” Asakura Yu didn’t think things would be as easy as she said.

It’s better to run away. There is nothing shameful about escapism.

To preserve the last spark of fire for mankind.

“Mother won’t hurt me.”

Asakura Yu looked at the wound on her face that had not yet healed and felt that she had a very big heart.

He took out a bundle of quick-healing bandages from his schoolbag and said, “Here you go. You can change them at night. I’ve tried this one and it works better.”

“Thank you.”

Hanekawa Tsubasa took the bandage and walked towards the entrance.

Asakura Yu watched her change her shoes, thought for a few seconds, and followed her in. He was a master-level free-fighting fighter, and he could protect Hanekawa Tsubasa if anything unexpected happened.

Hanekawa Tsubasa changed his shoes and walked towards the kitchen.

“Mother……”

She called out softly.

no response.

A few seconds later, hysterical shouting came from the kitchen – “It’s all you!! It’s all your fault!! If it wasn’t you!!”

Hanekawa Tsubasa took several steps back with a look of panic on his face, leaning against the wall.

“Die to me!!!”

Hearing this, Asakura Yuu felt something was not right. Even though he immediately ran towards Hanekawa Tsubasa, he could only see a woman holding a sharpened kitchen knife and rushing towards Hanekawa Tsubasa. Soon, the kitchen knife was only a few dozen centimeters away from Hanekawa Tsubasa’s face.

I watched the knife getting closer and closer.

Asakura Yu’s mind was working rapidly.

How to do?

He quickly remembered the time-stopping ability he bought last time!

“Go to hell—” The woman was halfway through her scream when her body was hit by a gray-white wave, and as the wave spread…

Everything around turned gray and white, and at the same time, they stopped working.

“hu~hu~”

Asakura Yu sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths.

limit.

It’s too extreme.

If it was a second later, something might have happened to Hanekawa Tsubasa.

Next, all we need to do is move Hanekawa Tsubasa away and the crisis can be resolved.

After resting on the ground for a few minutes and his heartbeat slowed down, Asakura Yu came between Hanekawa Tsubasa and her mother who was holding the knife. Considering that there would be subsequent threats if Hanekawa Tsubasa was moved away, Asakura Yu prepared to take the kitchen knife away.

He reached out and grasped the handle of the kitchen knife.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the kitchen knife was held tightly by the woman and could not move at all. Later, he tried to move her… but it was useless. Hanekawa Tsubasa was like being glued to the ground by water. No matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Even activating the breathing method was of no use.

‘…’

Asakura Yu squatted in front of the two of them.

He is thinking.

If I release the time pause now…can I take the kitchen knife and subdue Hanekawa Tsubasa’s crazy mother at the same time?

Unfortunately, no.

The kitchen knife was less than five centimeters away from Hanekawa Tsubasa’s face. No matter how fast he was, he could not save Hanekawa Tsubasa from harm.

Hypnosis?

Thinking of this ability, Asakura Yu tried it again and found it useless. He couldn’t even use it during time stop. Perhaps it was because time stop was too powerful as a time-related ability?

Apart from being unable to move objects and people, it is really strong, at least invincible in a fight.

soon.

Asakura Yuu remembered the time travel he bought some time ago. This should work. He had tried it in advance and this superpower can go back in time.

He tried to activate it and treat the dead horse as if it were alive.

hum~

Another gray-white ripple spread out in all directions, and all the surrounding scenery was receding.

Perhaps it was because time was paused, after a full hour, time only went back to a few seconds ago. Fortunately, the distance between Caidao and Hanekawa Tsubasa slowly widened.

Asakura Yuu observed the distance and found that it was long enough for him to save people, so he prepared to use his ability…

But as expected, something unexpected happened.

He couldn’t even stop time travel!

Fortunately, Asakura Yuu was smart enough to guess that perhaps there was a conflict between time pause and time travel, just like a bug in a computer program…

But, how to solve it?

Unpause the time first? If you want to stop the time travel, you have to cancel the pause…

Well, the logic is correct.

After finishing his thought, Asakura Yu stood between Hanekawa Tsubasa and her crazy mother.

hum~

The next second, everything around was dyed with color.

Asakura Yu immediately canceled the time travel, but he was still a step too late…

When time was paused just now, the time travel lasted for a full hour, which means that the world has to go backwards –

10 years.

Chiba Municipal Wakaba Elementary School.

Yuu Asakura from Class 2A is a complete weirdo…the elementary school kids at school don’t want to play with him.

“Hey, Pochi. Why are you reading again?”

“Pochi, Pochi~lelele~”

Asakura Yu looked at the elementary school student who was making faces at him, and continued to open the book in his hand – “The Count of Monte Cristo”.

Today’s revenge will be repaid a thousand fold.

However, the most urgent task is to find Hanekawa Tsubasa…

Oh, it actually goes back to elementary school, how terrible.

Chapter 185 Hiratsuka Shizuka during college

[Are you too cowardly to show off your pain as a source of pride?]

Asakura Yu was flipping through the book and noticed this sentence. He quickly closed the book and turned his head to look out the window.

At this point in time, it was mid-December, and the average temperature was in the single digits.

There is still an hour until school is over.

There was still an hour before he could go home.

—

Asakura Yu never thought that he would have the opportunity to travel through time.

He had never thought that he would actually feel fear towards his own home…

The word “parents” had been gone from him for more than two years. During this period, apart from text messages on holidays and phone calls during the New Year, the three of them had no communication at all.

As a result, he actually has to go home today, back to the house where his parents are still alive.

“Pochi, are you going home alone today too?” A girl from the same class came up to him. She had big eyes, a fair face, and a very cute voice.

Asakura Yuu is not a lolita fan, so——

“You’re in my way.”

After saying that, with the little girl’s satisfied expression, Asakura Yuu picked up his schoolbag, wrapped himself in a small white scarf, and prepared to go home.

He always had this attitude towards girls when he was in elementary school… Unexpectedly, this kind of personality is very popular among little lolis. They seem to think that cold boys are very attractive, mature and adult.
