Matsuda Jinpei, who did not put his thoughts aside, had his hair severely ruffled as a warning.

The naturally curly hair suddenly blew up in all directions.

“Tsk.”

He slapped away You Xunran's hand, casually smoothed some hair, took off his sunglasses and put them in his breast pocket, "Hagi, what's wrong with you?"

Since meeting Hasegawa Yu, Jinpei Matsuda found himself asking this question to Hagiwara Kenji more often.

He raised his eyes to look at the semi-long-haired man sitting next to him, his turquoise eyes full of undisguised inquiry.

Given Hagi's vigilance, how could he allow someone whose entire background he didn't know to enter his bedroom, or even actually fall asleep in front of the other person?

After hearing Hasegawa Yu say that Hagi was asleep, Matsuda Jinpei's first reaction was disbelief, but he was sure that the young master's mind and martial arts could not match Hagi at all, so he had to think in the most "horrifying" direction.

There is absolutely no gossip involved here.

Fortunately, You Xunran was really asleep, she was not drugged, nor was she doing that.

"Well, it's a long story." Hagiwara Kenji could tell at a glance that Jinpei had not recovered his memory like him.

Jinpei Matsuda folded his arms across his chest, waiting for him to get to the point.

"Anyway, when the time comes, you'll know, Jinpei-kun~" Hagiwara Kenji remained cheerful and winked at him. "That's a good thing~"

"?"

Before Matsuda Jinpei could ask any more questions, the movement at the door stopped him.

The two people in the living room fell silent at the same time.

There was a knock on the door, followed by the sound of a key turning in the lock. Then, an orange head poked through the crack of the open door and called out tentatively, "Matsuda-senpai?"

Seeing that there was more than one person in the living room, the young man's eyes lit up. He quickly walked in, closed the door, and held up the cake box in his hand. "Brother Yan Er, you're awake. I just bought the cake."

Jinpei Matsuda turned his head and snorted.

"Thank you, Yuu-chan~" Hagiwara Kenji patted the chair next to him, "It must be difficult to find a cake shop, Yuu-chan, you've worked hard, please take a seat first."

Jinpei Matsuda who has not yet unlocked the way-dead young master:?

There is a cake shop about 800 meters downstairs. In Hagi's eyes, the young master can't even walk this short distance!

Thinking back to the fragile young master who had been brought to tears by a single word from him (?), Matsuda Jinpei leaned back in his chair, maintaining a high-quality silence.

"It's not tiring. I have navigation, and the cake shop is very close."

Hasegawa Yu sat down next to him and pushed the cake box over to him. "I bought the low-sugar version. It's not very sweet."

Hagiwara Kenji, who had never revealed his taste and had only dined with others a few times, took the cake and looked at him. It seemed that Yu-chan's observation skills were sometimes very sharp.

After handing out the cake, Hasegawa Yu took out several kinds of pastries that could be finished in one or two bites from the bag in his other hand, both sweet and savory, and said, "Matsuda-senpai can also eat these."

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him and asked, "Don't you hate me?"

"So before I went out, I didn't directly ask my senior what he wanted to eat. I just picked and bought it myself." Hasegawa Yu said as a matter of course.

Matsuda Jinpei: “…”

As Hagiwara Kenji was opening the cake box, his shoulders trembled for a moment and he tried to hold back his laughter.

Matsuda Jinpei secretly glared at Yu Junran, raised his hand to the pastries on the table, hesitated between the sweet and salty pastries, and took the opportunity to observe the little expression of the orange-haired person.

The orange-haired man didn't show any expression, as if it didn't matter which one he picked first.

Matsuda Jinpei felt a little regretful as he couldn't amuse anyone.

"If you want to eat it, feel free to try it, Senior." Hasegawa Yu pushed all the cakes to him, "I won't eat them."

Matsuda Jinpei: “…”

What kind of disgusting thing is this?

Kenji Hagiwara, who was trying not to laugh, thought that Yuu-chan's observation skills were only sometimes effective.

"Eat if you want to. You don't have to give in to me." Matsuda Jinpei withdrew his hand and said expressionlessly.

"No. Except for indulgence days, I don't usually eat these." Hasegawa Yu explained seriously, "I still hate my senior for the time being."

Not letting.

Even low-sugar versions of pastries contain a lot of sugar.

Hearing his words, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly found himself unexpectedly calm.

Forget it, why would he bother arguing with a fool?

"Ahem." Hagiwara Kenji coughed, as if to hide his mistake. "Help yourself, Jinpei-chan."

Under the increasingly dangerous gaze of Yu Junran, he pretended not to notice, "Is it okay for Yu-chan to eat one or two? Yu-chan has really lost weight."

Is it heavier than the sandbag he uses for training? Hagiwara Kenji thought, but his complexion looked very healthy, which showed that he was not pathologically pursuing thinness.

Hasegawa Yu firmly shook his head and refused, "Thank you, Brother Kenji, I'll just drink tea."

One or two dollars today, one or two dollars tomorrow, that’s how the decline begins!

Seeing this, Hagiwara Kenji stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Hurry up and eat, Xiao Zhenping~"

Jinpei Matsuda looked meaningfully at Yu Junran, who no longer called him by his code name in front of someone.

Kenji Hagiwara blinked and looked back calmly.

Matsuda Jinpei withdrew his gaze and took a piece of salty pastry while thinking.

The person he was waiting for came back, and Kenji Hagiwara wanted to ask many questions urgently, but he also considered that it seemed inconvenient for the curly-haired person to be here.

"Xiao Zhenping, didn't you just say you had something to do?"

Hearing that Kojinran was chasing people away, Matsuda Jinpei pointed at himself in disbelief, then at the young man who was drinking tea with his head down.

Hagiwara Kenji gave him a flattering smile and quietly clasped his hands together, "If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Is there anything he can't be present to hear?

Matsuda Jinpei's gaze flickered between the two men, and when the young man finished his tea and looked up, he returned to his usual cold expression.

He gritted his teeth, "Yeah, it's too late."

The black curly-haired man stood up and looked down at Hagiwara Kenji, emphasizing a certain word for unknown reasons. "I'll be leaving first, so I don't delay anything."

Hasegawa Yu looked around and raised a hand cautiously.

"What's up Yuu-chan?"

Taking out a mirror and a comb from the bag she was carrying, Hasegawa Yu silently pushed them next to Matsuda Jinpei.

He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

Jinpei Matsuda's eyelids twitched.

"Bang--"

After visiting the house, the senior, who was very "satisfied" with his wild hairstyle, turned and walked out the door.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Ignoring the pitiful door panel that was slammed loudly, Hagiwara Kenji laughed and fell on the orange-haired young man, "It can be seen that Yu-chan hates Xiao Zhenping."

Hasegawa Yu, who simply wanted to hint to his senior that his hair was messy, quietly put away the small mirror and comb that had not been touched.

After the man had laughed enough, he turned his head to avoid the breath on his neck, "Brother Yanji, why don't you remind Matsuda-senpai?"

Hairstyle is one of the most important aspects of image management!

"It's okay, Jinpei-kun won't mind." Hagiwara Kenji sat up straight.

Well, that may not be the case after today.

He looked at the young man, and before he could ask the question, he met a pair of eyes full of expectation.

"Did Yanji-nii recall any memories?"

After learning from the Investigation Division that Kenji Hagiwara was also a policeman, Hasegawa Yuu hoped that he could recover his memories before the world collapsed.

This means that a new teammate is about to come online!

Seeing this, Kenji Hagiwara subconsciously wanted to tease her and say no, but he really couldn't bear to let those beautiful eyes show disappointment.

"Yeah." He finally agreed, "I remembered part of it."

"～" Hasegawa Yu's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and then he told everything he knew without hesitation.

Since he had discussed it once with the search team, he was much more proficient this time.

"After the world restarts, can time only go back to the moment before the collapse?"

After listening to the entire explanation, Kenji Hagiwara asked this question first.

"Well, this is the key to minimizing the scope of the impact," Hasegawa Yutaka nodded. "As long as no one dies at the Cocoon press conference, subsequent developments can proceed normally."

"Is that so..." Hagiwara Kenji lowered his eyes and gently stroked the edge of the cake box with his fingers.

Judging from the time, it has been seven years since my death.

After the world restarts, it's impossible for him who has been dead for a long time to suddenly appear, right?

[Kenji Hagiwara's collapse value is fluctuating violently, but is still below 49%.

40%…38%…35%…42%…30%…】

Hearing the repeatedly fluctuating collapse value, Hasegawa Yu was confused, "Kenji-nii?"

After the police officers of the Investigation Division 1 woke up, the Honkai Value also fluctuated a bit, but the value span had never been so large.

"Did Yuu-chan really come here just for this collapsed world?"

If it weren't for the fluctuations in the Honkai Value, Hagiwara Kenji wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. He smiled and said, "Could Yu-chan's profession in the original world be some kind of world corrector?"

"It's a professional idol." Hasegawa Yu snorted, feeling a little guilty about hiding something. "In my world, there's no such weird profession as a corrector."

Because he thought it was unnecessary, Hasegawa Yu did not tell the people in the Investigation Section 1 and Kenji Hagiwara about his death in the original world and what he had experienced in the seven rounds.

"Idol?" Hagiwara Kenji raised an eyebrow, realizing he was hiding something. "Eh—the legendary idol who saves the world?"

What a shameful description!

Hasegawa Yu moved his body, and his ears, half hidden under his hair, instantly turned red. "Brother Kenji, please don't say that."

"I'm telling the truth."

Hagiwara Kenji spoke casually, his words without any aggression, "Are you hiding something, Yuu-chan? Like the punishment for failing to save the world?"

Hasegawa Yu, who was not good at lying, hesitated, "Well... If I fail, the worst that can happen is that this world won't be able to restart, and my 'punishment' won't involve you."

"What is it?" Hagiwara Kenji stared at him, "Yu-chan, we've known each other for so long, how can you say it doesn't matter?"

Hasegawa Yu lowered his head and tugged at the corners of his clothes with both hands.

Hagiwara Kenji sighed, "I'm even more worried about Yu-chan's reaction."

Hearing this, Hasegawa Yu's gaze secretly drifted towards him, and the man's expression was full of sorrow and distress.

"The contract between me and the gods is through our souls." He hesitated for a few seconds. "If the mission fails, my soul will return to the gods."

"...Is Yuu-chan dead in the original world? Rather than returning, it's more like she's completely 'asleep'."

Seeing that the person's first reaction was surprise, Hagiwara Kenji knew that he had guessed correctly. He smiled and said, "I understand."

[Kenji Hagiwara, current collapse value 20%.]

Now Hasegawa Yu was really surprised and confused.

The Houkai Value dropped even lower than that of the police officers in the Investigation Division.

I don't understand how it happened, but it's a good thing!

Knowing that the young man was still hiding something, Hagiwara Kenji didn't ask any more questions and sighed, "What a magical experience."

But in that situation, he wouldn't survive even if he wore protective clothing.

Died too early, not knowing that three of his contemporaries died later. Hagiwara Kenji held his chin with one hand and said, "Well, how come the five of us all joined the Black Organization?"

The police officers of the Investigation Division are all doing their job as police officers and do not have any undercover identities.

However, they, the Onizuka Class...

completely annihilated!

"Five?" Hasegawa Yu was curious.

"Me, Jinpei-chan, Ida-squad leader, Morobushi-chan, and…"

After counting to the last person, Kenji Hagiwara opened his mouth but could not utter the name no matter what.

"...One cannot say, he was in the same class as me in the police academy."

"Wow, Morobushi-senpai is also a police officer?" Hasegawa Yu was puzzled. "What is unspeakable?"

Kenji Hagiwara, who couldn't even say Bourbon, frowned and didn't answer his question, "Yu-chan, who in the organization has Honkai Value?"

After hearing the young man's name, he asked tentatively, "Doesn't Bourbon have a Honkai value?"

It seems that it is impossible to reveal Koharu's original identity as a police officer.

Kenji Hagiwara pondered, why?

Is there anything special about Koharuya's identity as a police officer?

"No." Hasegawa Yu was very curious, "So you really can't say it?"

“It’s a developed period.”

Hagiwara Kenji changed his approach and found that he couldn't describe his appearance either. In the end, he could only say, "We are all civil servants, but his position is higher than ours."

"Okay." Hasegawa Yu scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions.

He had a lot to digest today, so Hagiwara Kenji decided to go back and think of a way to slowly give people hints.

Wait, can Yuu-chan understand this level of hinting?

"..." Kenji Hagiwara put the problem aside without any internal friction.

He recalled what the young man had said in the Beika Building, "Professional idols... So, the 'they' that Yuu-chan mentioned earlier who were learning languages for 'them' are... "

"My fans, of course."

Hasegawa lowered his brows, "Apart from fans, who else would travel thousands of miles just to see someone from afar who they can't even talk to."

"...Yeah, haha." Hagiwara Kenji covered his face in shame.

He actually thought Yu-chan was a playboy!

Hasegawa Yu, who was unaware of his own ruined reputation, pursed his lips slightly and asked, "Brother Kenji, do you have anything else you want to ask?"

Why does the Honkai Value fluctuate so much after restoring memories?

Before I could hear the other party's answer, my phone vibrated.

Hagiwara Kenji took the opportunity to divert his attention, "I don't have anything else to ask. Yu-chan, please read the news first?"

So Hasegawa Yu took out his phone and said, "It's Ling-ge. He asked me when I will return to Beika Town."

"Yu-chan told Bourbon before she left today that she was going to Kabukicho?"

"No."

"Does Yuu-chan usually report his schedule to Bourbon?"

"I wouldn't say I'll report it..." Hasegawa Yu touched his chin, "But Brother Zero should know my schedule. I always answer when he asks."

There's nothing to hide.

In the original world, countless people knew his daily schedule, and Hasegawa Yu had long been accustomed to people knowing this.

Seeing that the other person didn't seem to notice anything was wrong, Hagiwara Kenji's smile froze.

Xiao Jiangu, what are you doing? Xiao Jiangu!

The reason why there is no collapse value is that you have become a corrupt policeman before the world collapsed!

"Shall I take Yuu-chan back later?"

"Brother Ling said he was on his way and would come pick me up."

Hagihara Kenji: "..."

Hasegawa Yu: “……?”

The two looked at each other, the latter confused.

"It just so happens that I haven't seen Bourbon in a while."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled again, "Hamoto is so busy as a council member that I can't even see him."

Hasegawa Yu swallowed the words he saw every day.

After thinking for a moment, the orange-haired young man whispered, "No fighting."

Last time in the parking lot, Zero-kun and Matsuda-senpai met and it looked like they were going to fight!

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Kenji Hagiwara, who had casually found an excuse to let the young man go first, took half a step back and leaned over to take out a bug from under the table where Jin Matsuda had previously sat.

He knocked on the shell of the bug, "Xiao Zhenping, did you hear the conversation between me and Yu-chan?"

Hagiwara Kenji's phone lit up the next second.

His fingertips brushed against the connect button.

"The only thing I heard the whole time was the prayers of the witch at the Miserable God Shrine." Jinpei Matsuda's detached voice came from the receiver.

"?" Hagiwara Kenji tilted his head, "Is there a Shinto Shrine in Japan?"

"Don't change the subject." Matsuda Jinpei, who seemed to be about to be saved by the God of Unlucky, said calmly, "What did you talk about with him?"

"If Jinpei-chan didn't hear it, there's nothing I can do~"

The mysterious source of the information was actually stricter than Yu-chan. Hagiwara Kenji resorted to the method of playing it badly. "Don't worry, there's no problem. Jinpei will definitely know after a while."

After saying that, without giving Yukunran a chance to reply, Hagiwara Kenji decisively hung up the phone.

It would be bad if I knew this in advance and it might affect the reduction of the collapse value. It would be better to just let nature take its course and wait for Xiao Zhenping to recover his memory.

Thinking of this, Kenji Hagiwara crushed the bug and put away his phone.

He had to go and see what was going on with Xiao Jiangu first.

The extremely busy congressman showed up at the underground parking lot of the host club on time.

"Brother Ling!" Hasegawa Yu waved towards the blond man standing by the car door.

Furiya Rei nodded at him, his gaze passing the young man to the man behind him, "Speyside."

"Hey~ Bourbon-chan." Hagiwara Kenji raised his hand, "Long time no see."

Fūya Ling looked at him suspiciously and said calmly, "We just met last week."

"To borrow a Chinese saying, 'One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed.'"

Jiangu Ling:?

Speyside's words suddenly sounded disgusting.

"If Bourbon-chan is busy, you don't have to come to Kabukicho. I'll take Yu-chan back."

Ignoring his peers' disgusted looks, Hagiwara Kenji added calmly, "It's also more convenient."

"No need." Furuya Rei said with a forced smile, "The drive from Beikacho to Kabukicho doesn't take long, so I still have some free time."

Hasegawa Yu inexplicably felt that he had seen the scene before him somewhere.

Replacing Kenji with Matsuda-senpai, the atmosphere is exactly the same as last time!

"That's good." Hagiwara Kenji nodded as if he was relieved. "Then I'll ask Bourbon-chan to take Yu-chan back. Be careful on the road."

He looked at the blond man without leaving any trace, and couldn't see anything wrong at the moment.

There's plenty of time.

"Goodbye, Yaner-ge!"

After saying goodbye to others, Hasegawa Yu turned around and was startled by the blond senior's dark face, "Zero-nii?"

"Kenji-nii," Furuya Rei repeated his name softly, "When did Xiaoyou and Spese become so close?"

"Did it just happen naturally?" Hasegawa Yu's eyes wandered. "Just like my relationship with Rei-nii, it's gotten better too."

Fūya Ling remained silent, his purple-gray eyes fixed on him.

It turns out that he should be locked up as soon as possible.

Hasegawa Yu, who was furry on his back, shuddered and urged, "Brother Ling, let's get in the car first."

The parking lot suddenly became dark and gloomy!

"Speyside and Glenlivet have a very complicated reputation within the organization."

Furuya Rei said with a hint of meaning, "If you don't want to really become a sandwich, you'd better stay away from them."

“???”

Hasegawa Yu, who didn't quite understand what he said, puffed up his face and said, "Zero, you once agreed to let me come to Kenji to learn falsetto and other knowledge."

Fūya Rei, who had completely forgotten about this: "..."

"And if I'm a butter bun."

Hasegawa Yuu quickly glanced at the blond, dark-skinned senior, mustered up the courage to whisper quickly, "Zero-niang is the dirty bun!"

"Xiaoyou, say that again?" Jōgu · Dirty Bun · Zero said with a half-smile.

Hasegawa Yu, whose back was even hairier, stood obediently in place, blinking his orange-gold almond eyes. "Butter bread is good, I like butter bread."

Humph, next time it’s indulgence day, I’ll go eat dirty buns!
