3 Years Later: Yuta Okkotsu

While walking home with her, I remember the words she told me long ago.

...

"When we grow up, let's get married."

....

My face reddened as I remembered our promise.

I like Rika but can't help but be embarrassed about it.

*Skrr*

I turn to the left to see a swerving car.

My eyes widen as I reach out towards Rika. "RIKA, LOOK OUT!"

I closed my eyes as I expected to hear a crash. However, one didn't come.

Opening my eyes, I see a tall, black-haired man holding Rika by the back of her shirt.

Rika looks horrified as the man speaks up. "That was a close one. I'll need to have a word with the driver."

I couldn't help but shakily reply. "T-thanks, mister."

He flopped his head back. "Stop it. That makes me sound like an old man. My name is Naohiro Zenin, and we will get acquainted with one another in the future."

I tilt my head to the side. "What do you mean?"

Rika speaks up. "C-can you let me down?"

He has a look of realization on his face and puts her back down. "Ah, sorry. Anyways, you can see things others can't, right?"

I step back as I nod.

He smiles. "Well, we don't need to talk specifics, but for now, I'll see ya around, kid."

Turning around and walking towards the car that spun out of control, he did a back wave toward me.

Rika blinked. "Who was that?"

I glanced at her. "He said his name was Naohiro Zenin."

*Gulp*

There is something off about him. I've never felt so much of that blue energy in my life.

It felt suffocating.

I shake my head to remove the useless thoughts.

I'm just glad Rika is alright.

Naohiro

Thank goodness that I could pinpoint the time of Rika's 'death.'

It was a pain in the ass trying to find out where and when it would happen.

I could've let her die so the queen of curses could've been born, but giving a kid PTSD by killing his friend leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.

He doesn't need Rika to become one of the strongest future sorcerers, and it's another Gege event that I was able to stop.

I do not know what will happen due to my interference since Geto is already dead and Rika is alive, but it doesn't matter in the long term.

The thing I need to do is find out where Yuji is.

Tengen still has Kenjaku sealed, and Choso hasn't messaged me anything.

Shoko is my girlfriend at this point, which is nice.
