Chapter 732: His Father
Uncle Kyousuke’s physical condition was terrible.
After killing his way up to the [Pure Land] and taking on several oracle ambassadors, although there were injuries on his body that were slowly healing, the serious illnesses that the disease disaster had left him with were getting worse and worse with the passage of time.
Every organ in his body is infected with the disease, both light and heavy, and he has no other way to contain the disease except to go to the hospital and messily dispense a bunch of medicines to forcefully contain the disease…….
If one were to undo the illusionary state of the [Enchanted Pupil] right now and reveal Yuzuri Kurotetsu’s true appearance, one would realize that his face had already emaciated several times more than before, surfacing sickly as if he had aged twenty years.
Kyousuke-san put the medicine away and looked at the time.
”The time for the new game’s release is coming up, after buying the game in a while, when you go back, stop by and buy some food, let’s make a curry pork chop rice tonight.”
Curry pork chop rice?
Yuzuri Takeru’s eyes lit up, licked her lips, and nodded her head obediently, “Yes, uncle your cooking, it’s much more delicious than the nutrient solution.”
Uncle Kyousuke smiled faintly and reached out to touch his head, a doting look flashed in his eyes.
A few minutes later, Yuzuri-Takubai clutched the latest released game cassette and excitedly ran out from the store, his snow white long hair pulled behind his head, in the setting sun it looked like it was encrusted with a layer of golden edges, he smiled and waved his hand at Uncle Kyousuke who was walking behind him, like a simple neighboring big boy.
Yuzuri Takeru White’s handsome appearance ushered in the attention of young girls wherever he went, and they gathered together in twos and threes, staring at him while discussing in whispers.
”That boy is so handsome!”
”Yeah, even more handsome than the stars on TV, could he be some kind of star too?”
”No way, there’s no way I haven’t heard of such a handsome looking star!”
”His white hair is so pretty, is it real?”
”Of course it’s a wig, what kind of boy grows this kind of hair nowadays, and can’t you see that he’s wearing contacts?”
”He’s really handsome, but he’s just too skinny, he’s not malnourished, is he?”
”……”
Under the dusky sunset, Uncle Kyousuke walked with a slightly hobbling pace, looking with a smile at the giddy white-haired teenager running ahead of him as he slowly made his way to the end of the street.
Behind them on the asphalt, two long shadows met in the light.
Ten minutes later.
Yuzuri Takubai opened the door with the key, took off his shoes, and ran into the rented house holding the game box with a thump, and couldn’t wait to turn on the TV and insert the game cassette into the device.
Uncle Kyousuke, on the other hand, carried his groceries and walked to the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves and preparing to cook.
”Uncle, sit over here together! Haven’t we been waiting for the sequel to this game for a long time? Let’s play for a while before we eat!” Yuzuri Takubai picked up both handles and sat down on the soft cushion, holding the other handle up and waving it at Kyousuke-san.
”Go ahead and play by yourself, I’ll make dinner and play with you afterward.”
Yuzuri Takeru shrugged, and could only pick up one of her own handles and operate it at the screen.
Uncle Kyousuke stood in the kitchen, looking at Yuzuri Takeru’s back as he played the game alone, and smiled helplessly.
For so many years, he had fantasized about Yuzuri-Takibai’s character countless times, having been a guinea pig for so long in a heartless laboratory like the [Pure Land], he had thought that Yuzuri-Takibai’s character would have been influenced to be very dark, or even extreme……
But he never thought that Yuzuri Takibai would just become a gaming otaku, and it was as simple as a blank sheet of paper.
Perhaps some people are born to be good, even in such a painful and desperate environment, there is still a piece of pure land in the heart, and the game is Yuzuri Takubai this piece of pure land of the soul.
Without those games, Yuzuri-Takubai might have gone crazy, or he might have grown up to be a monster with horrible power and an extreme character. ……
For Yuzuri Takubai, the game is not only a game …… it is his salvation.
Thankfully, the game, too, has become Uncle Kyousuke’s salvation.
If there is no game, Uncle Kyousuke wants to approach Yuzuru Takihaichi can not be so easy, after understanding that his interest is the game, Uncle Kyousuke immediately play out the professional skills of the cowboy bragging, will be a senior game enthusiasts, take him in the Akihabara crazy sweep purchase, quickly pull into the distance between the two people.
Of course, for a middle-aged uncle like Uncle Kyousuke, playing games was indeed a bit tiring, especially staying up all night to play games.
But Uncle Kyousuke was enjoying himself.
Not because of the game itself, but because sitting beside him and playing the game with him, was his son.
A few tens of minutes later, two bowls of aromatic curry pork chop rice were brought out from the kitchen, and Uncle Kyousuke tied his apron, rubbed his hands on his body, and called out:
”It’s time to eat.”
Yuzuri-Takubai smelled the aroma and immediately felt a wave of hunger, he gulped, put down the handle in his hand and walked over to the table and sat down.
He picked up a piece of golden-colored curry and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes brightening up.
”Ajussi, the curry pork cutlet rice you made is really delicious.” Yuzuri Takeru said heartily.
”Right? My daughter said the same thing.” Uncle Kyousuke smiled proudly.
”Uncle turns out to have a daughter?”
”Yes. She’s the same age as you, very good and smart.”
Yuzuri Takubai thought for a moment, “Then you …… are also a father?”
Uncle Kyousuke froze and laughed, “Of course.”
Yuzuri Takubai lowered his head and took a few bites of rice into his mouth, as if he was thinking about something.
”What’s wrong with you?” Uncle Kyousuke asked when he saw that Yuzuri-Takubai was silent.
Yuzuri Takubai slowly spoke, “Before I came down, someone told me …… that my father was waiting for me, and that he had been waiting for a long time, and told me to go find him.”
”And then?”
”I asked him what a father is.” Yuzuri Takubai paused, “He said a lot of things, such as selflessness, willing to give everything for me, and being tall and magnificent …… I said I couldn’t understand.
Then he said.
When you meet the man who is most special to you, don’t bother to suspect that it’s your father.”
Uncle Kyosuke’s chopsticks stuttered in the air.
After a moment, he continued to take a bite of rice as if nothing had happened, “Now then, what kind of opinion do you have of your father?”
”I don’t know.” Yuzuri Takeru shook his head, “I’ve never met him or experienced what they call ‘fatherly love’, so perhaps he’s like a stranger I meet in line to buy a new game to me, just a brief passerby.
What’s more, I’ve been down for so long and that ‘father’ still hasn’t come to me ……
But that’s good, if he came, he would only disturb us from playing the game.”
Yuzuri Takeru said with a smile.
Uncle Kyousuke was silent for a moment, “Then what if, he did come? What would you do?”
Yuzuri-Takubai thought for a moment, “If he really came…
Perhaps ……
I would ask him if he wants to sit down and play a game together?”
When Uncle Kyousuke heard this answer, after being stunned for a long time, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
”Let’s eat, and when we’re done, we’ll stay up all night together.”
