'Host, please complete the binding as soon as possible.'

"...Hurry up and go away tactfully, don't force me to get angry with you!"

"Okay~"

There was another silence.

"system?"

No sound.

"104?"

Still no sound.

"Red and Black Power Balance System No. 104?"

There was only the sound of the wind in Hoshino Aoi's ears.

The familiar electronic sound really disappeared.

The system is really gone.

Before leaving, I had to make a fuss with her.

Hoshino Aoi secretly complained in her heart.

She was originally feeling a little melancholy, but after hearing this, her mood was completely ruined.

whispering sound……

This guy is really not likable...

Hoshino Aoi was thinking this, but she didn't realize that a broken light had already flashed in her eyes until a voice of "Xiao Aoi" sounded from behind her.

Hoshino Aoi looked back, and her eyes, sparkling with sparkling light, met a pair of purple-gray eyes.

Fūya Rei's breathing stagnated, and he seemed to understand something. He suddenly narrowed his eyes and stretched out a hand towards her.

"Let's go, it's been a while since we've gotten together, shall we go have a drink together?"

"Respect for life?"

Hoshino Aoi's words stunned him for a moment, but soon, Furuya Rei reacted, the smile on his face deepened, and at the same time, his voice became lighter.

"Yes, respect for life."

"Then I'll have to give you a good meal."

"Don't worry, go ahead and kill them, but before that, you have to figure out how to explain it to the four of them."

"Hmm? Explain?"

"Yeah, you don't think we don't know about your one-for-one exchange, do you?"

Fūya Rei smiled, but that smile looked so dangerous that Hoshino Aoi suddenly fell silent.

"Actually... you don't have to drink this wine..."

She would rather live than drink.

Unfortunately, just as Hoshino Aoi was about to leave, four people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her. Furuya Rei, who was walking beside her, stretched out his arms and hooked them around her neck, grinning:

"Since you don't want to drink anymore, why don't you explain it now? What else do we not know?"

Hoshino Aoi didn't know what they knew and what they didn't know, but she knew that her life might end here today.

"Well...we can talk it over..."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth!"

Jinpei Matsuda casually took out the handcuffs from Kenji Hagiwara's waist, turned them around, and threatened him fiercely.

That attitude looked even more evil than the few people present who had been involved in crime.

“I just did a little bit.”

"I think it's a little bit of a billion, right?"

"Zero, don't be soft-hearted. If things don't work out, let me take control."

"Hey, hey, hey, Hiro, that's too much."

"I'm sorry, Aoi, but I'm Hikaru Amamiya now, not Hiro."

So it's no use calling Hiro.

"Oh, if she doesn't want to talk about it, don't force her to talk about it."

"Squad leader, you are still the best..."

Big Brother is worthy of being Big Brother. Look at how aware he is.

"When she's drunk, she'll naturally tell you."

There is no need for anyone to interrogate you.

"Squad leader...you have changed. You are no longer my good brother."

Under Sakura's gaze, the six figures played and played, just like they did seven years ago, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

A breeze blew by, and the figures of several people completely disappeared at the gate of the Police Academy, leaving only the cherry tree that witnessed everything. No matter how many years passed, no matter how the world changed, it still stood there without a trace of change.
