After keeping silent for a while, Ararat, who should have been indifferent to such matters, spoke with an incalculable complex of emotions, "What are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Yu stopped what he was doing, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Try to change their mindset!"

Simple and straightforward, but nothing wrong with it.

[…This is not the world you were in before.]

Arara didn't know why she was so worried. [She couldn't transform with magic, and she couldn't repel the enemy with her singing.]

When Ararat first saw the other party's memories of the original world, she was in disbelief. How could someone defeat the enemy simply by singing a song?

They can even use singing to solve the tsunami problem!

"I know."

Hasegawa Yu blinked. "Every world has its own rules. My world is centered around music, but this world's... seems to be based on reasoning?"

Thinking of this, Hasegawa Yu lowered his head, but he was a pure music student.

I don't know anything about reasoning or anything like that.

Fortunately, there are seniors to guide him. Hasegawa clenched his fists and said, "I will study hard!"

"And I'm different from my sister and Xing Luo. I can't transform, and my singing has no special powers. I'm the same as other people." Hasegawa Yu said, taking out a necklace from his collar and taking a look at it.

It was a very small light orange shell necklace with a pair of small orange wings on both sides of the shell.

The shell opened, and inside lay an orange pearl.

"I'm just an ordinary person." Hasegawa Yu said, feeling a little guilty.

Once a mermaid reveals his identity to humans, he will turn into foam and disappear. He did not lie to Ararat on purpose.

But Ararat isn't considered human, right? And she knows about this... Hasegawa Yuu touched his chin, "Only the seven mermaid princesses have the ability to transform."

After saying that, he touched himself up and down, oh! Sure enough, this kind of thing is fine.

Hasegawa Yoshino nodded, after all, he had been in the human world for so many years.

Other mermaids would become tone-deaf if they lost their pearls, and would grow fish tails when exposed to water, but he didn't have these worries.

Hasegawa Yu can change his fish tail as he wishes, thanks to which he can successfully hide his true identity in the human world.

"I understand." Ararat said no more.

Rather than this, he wanted to know why he was playing the game with her and why he played it for so many rounds.

"Don't worry, Arara~" Hasegawa Yu hummed a song while continuing to pack his suitcase.

An item that was not in memory appeared in the suitcase.

It is a cylindrical transparent glass jar with a capacity of about 500ml. It is filled with several konpeito of different colors. They seem to be shining, like colorful stars, and are very beautiful.

"Huh?" The orange-haired young man picked up the glass jar and tried to open the cork, but he couldn't pull it out even after trying his best.

"Only five or six more will fill it up."

Hasegawa Yu stopped arguing and gently shook the jar towards the light, then placed it in the arms of the puppy doll. "Mr. Yijie, please keep it for me."

It feels like the konpeito jar and Mr. Ikko belong together, just like the crown of soul on his head, both are very important.

Wow~ Hasegawa Yu opened his eyes wide, is he about to awaken his reasoning ability?

Looking at the young man who was happy again, Ararat couldn't understand.

What a strange person...fish.

After packing my suitcase and completing my daily skincare routine, it was already dark outside.

Hasegawa Yuu lay down on the bed, like an elementary school student on his first trip, his mouth never stopping. "Ararat, why was I reincarnated into Japan instead of another world?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he gave his own answer, "Is it because too many Japanese were killed by reincarnation trucks? Hahaha!

The other world is full of Japanese people, so they just let me come to Japan, hahahaha."

Ararat, who didn't get the joke: [……]

Hasegawa Yu didn't mind his silence and quickly brought up a new topic, "Ararat, let me tell you something in secret."

Little stars twinkled around the corners of the orange-haired young man’s eyes again: Ask me, ask me~(★＞v＜)☆

Ararat, who didn't want to pay attention, sighed, "What's going on?"

"I think Mr. Ikko is alive, the kind that can talk and move." Hasegawa Yu whispered: "I'm not sick, and this is not a hallucination or fantasy."

Afraid the system wouldn't believe him, he added, "My intuition is pretty accurate!"

Ararat couldn't help but glance at the puppy stuffed animal placed on the bedside table.

The shark-tooth puppy doll with the “(◣д◢)” expression sat quietly holding the glass jar, not moving even a millimeter.

[Well, when night falls, the Doll Knight will only protect good children who go to bed on time.]

Ararat urged him perfunctorily, "You should go to bed."

He is already 26 years old!

"snort."

Hasegawa Yu puffed up his face, closed his eyes, and decided to put Ararat last in the order. "Good night, Mr. Ikko, good night, Ararat."

Within three seconds, the young man's breathing became smooth.

【……】

The room fell silent in an instant, with only the doll's eyes staring silently into the darkness.

The next day, in an office in the National Diet Building in Tokyo.

"Mr. Furuya." A woman dressed as a secretary knocked on the door and entered after receiving permission. "Mr. Yamanami is here."

"Yeah, I understand."

A man sitting behind a desk answered. He had dark blond hair and was wearing a tailored mouse-grey suit.

While speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at the secretary for a few seconds. His purple-gray eyes took in all the information without any expression.

There were dark clouds outside the window, and in the backlight, the man's expression seemed to be stained with some darkness.

The secretary didn't dare meet his gaze and kept her head lowered respectfully.

The office door was closed from the outside with a barely audible sound.

The heavy wooden door dutifully blocked out the disturbing noise outside the corridor, and the room returned to silence.

Shannan, who stayed behind, subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Yamanami." Fūya Ling raised his hand and gestured towards the reception area.

Shannan calmed himself down and walked over to one of the sofas and sat down.

The tea had already been prepared on the coffee table in front of him, and wisps of hot steam were rising from it.

Fūya Rei sat down opposite him, one hand casually resting on the armrest of the sofa, the other supporting the side of his head, his legs crossed and leaning back, revealing a section of his ankles wrapped in socks.

"Time is limited, let's just get to the point."

"I'm here on behalf of the Tei Ai Group." Shannan sat up straight. "Regarding the rejected document, Councillor Furuya, please carefully consider it."

This middle-aged man, who took care of himself meticulously, placed emphasis on two certain words.

"What a headache," Furuya Ling complained softly, but there was no trace of distress in his tone. "As a council member, I have to serve the people."

The Tei Ai Group is a consumer finance monopoly group that is as famous as Suzuki and Karasuma. They even own a huge underground city that enslaves many people who have lost all their wealth to the group due to gambling.

Everything related to gambling can be linked to the Di'ai Group.

With such blatant behavior, the Di Ai Group naturally has people in the government.

However, since three years ago, when Rei Furuya became the youngest member of parliament at the age of 26, most of the documents have been gradually intercepted.

Who said that the Diai Group and the organization are in a hostile relationship?

"Oh? But I overheard something before I came here." Shannan stared at him with a slightly gloomy look. "Did Councillor Furuya dine at Matsukawa Restaurant last night?"

"Personally, I think this restaurant is average. I don't recommend it." Fūya Rei smiled back.

"It seems the principal and student council president of the private Hyakkaou Academy also went here last night."

"Some of your group's businesses overlap with the academy's. Have you never collaborated before?"

Furuya Rei's eyes widened slightly. "Rather than asking me, Mr. Yamanami, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask the principal directly? Could it be that he didn't add his contact information?"

"If you don't mind, I can help promote your business card." He said sincerely, as if he really wanted to help.

Despite saying this, the blond, dark-skinned man continued to sit in the same spot, not even changing his posture at all.

The private Hyakkaou Academy has many children of financial figures as students. The class system in the school is strict and clear, and the most popular activity is gambling, which is used to establish school rankings.

Di'ai Group has always had a cooperative relationship with it.

But if the other party can cooperate with their group, they can naturally cooperate with the Black Organization.

After thinking of this possibility, Shannan's eyes twitched uncontrollably, unwilling to think about the punishment after the negotiation failed.

"We can talk about that last time again." He made a concession.

Fūya Rei showed a puzzled look and rubbed his forehead seriously. "I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and my energy is seriously low. What do you mean, Mr. Yamanami?"

Shannan's Adam's apple rolled, he suppressed his anger and explained in a low voice.

Twenty minutes later, the two successfully concluded their conversation.

"Mr. Shannan, take care."

Jiang Gu Ling glanced at the two cups of tea that had grown cold without a drop being touched, and asked someone to come in and remove them.

He sat back at his desk and was about to review a document when his cell phone on the table vibrated.

The caller ID shows the number that was just entered yesterday.

Fūya Rei raised an eyebrow, remembering what his friend had said, and his honey-colored fingertips casually swiped across to connect.

"senior!"

An energetic voice rang out from the receiver, and the second half of the sentence suddenly became heavier. "I suspect there's a mysterious force preventing me from approaching the National Assembly Building."

Jianggu Ling:......

The road in front of the council hall is restricted and no outside vehicles are allowed to park. The nearest parking spot is one street away.

As for Hasegawa Yu's "getting lost", Furuya Rei was still a little skeptical.

In the spirit of not using the same trick twice, he said calmly, "Describe the landmark buildings nearby."

"There's a new Oda Musical Instruments store just across the street. One of the sidewalk's central crash barriers is slacking off, and there's more..."

"There's a heart-shaped cloud in the sky above me. It's huge!"

When he heard the name of the music store, Furuya Rei knew where he was, but he didn't have time to interrupt the young man.

That road's crash barrier is indeed missing one for some reason...

Following Hasegawa Yu's words, Fūya Rei unconsciously looked out the window.

A huge heart-shaped cloud caught my eye, and together with the bright sunshine, it formed a window view called nature, adding new color to the dull office.

Fūya Rei, who was holding the phone, was stunned for a moment.

It turns out the sun is out.
