Bucciarati's team found Kotobuki in a small alley. The sun was shining obliquely, and the silver-haired boy happened to be standing in a backlit position. The sound of the car horn rang in his ears, but the back of the boy looked particularly lonely and helpless. Bucciarati stopped for a moment.

Kokumi has always been a very sensitive child, and he can quickly notice changes in other people's sight and external objects and places. But this time, he did not notice Bucciarati's arrival in time, but looked at the alley with a blank expression, where there was nothing - it should be a dead end.

Naranja was somewhat at a loss for such an atmosphere. He called out Gu Kui's name softly, breaking the silence. The silver-haired boy came back to his senses and looked at them with a dazed expression, "Ah... why are you here?"

Perhaps he had realized what was happening, Kotobuki lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry... for making you worry."

Bucciarati sighed and held out his hand to Kotobuki, "Let's go back, Kotobuki."

Kotobuki was silent for a long time, looked back hesitantly, and then walked towards Bucciarati, towards the person who extended his hand to him, and stood in the sunlight again.

After a while, Kokumi raised his head and said to Bucciarati: "...I just saw someone I know."

Bucciarati said, "Is that so? Do you remember anything?"

Kotobuki paused, then shook his head, "…It just feels very familiar."

"Every time a memory is about to come up and I think I can grasp it, the flames... appear and burn everything. It feels like something is about to come to mind... and the memory becomes very confused."

"But just now, it seemed like I caught something." Kotobuki tried hard to find the right words, "But it's very strange, there should be two memories... two people, but I seemed to have mistaken him for one... person?"

Bucciarati placed his hand on Kotobuki's hair and soothed him, "Don't worry, take your time. You'll remember it eventually."

Kotobuki looked back once more, his eyes half drawn, and made no answer.

And in the direction that Kokumi was looking, in a corner that no one noticed, there was a man with his eyes wide open, covering his mouth and nose with both hands, holding his breath. It was not until Kokumi and the others left that he suddenly relaxed and gasped for air. "Huff, huff, huff... That Oso guy is still so scary..."

He held onto the wall and stood out from the corner where the boxes were piled. The sunlight fell on the pink hair, and the golden brown pupils were filled with relief at having escaped a disaster. He was a boy who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Before he could relax for long, the pink-haired boy started to make a "mumble" sound as if he was possessed by a demon, in the strange eyes of passers-by.

"Tut-tut-tut! Ah! You're calling me at this hour! Tut-tut-tut! Where is my phone, my phone...!" the pink-haired boy shouted as he anxiously searched for his phone in his bag. "Found it! Did I leave it here? Cell phones these days are really light."

He took out a pen from his handbag, exhaled, and put it to his ear, "Beep—Hello? Boss!"

Tobio, have you seen him?

What is shocking is that, although it is clearly "answering the phone", a completely different, mature voice that does not belong to a teenager came out of the same person's mouth, and the boy's expression also became quite gloomy and terrifying at this moment.

As if answering his own question, the boy replied: "Yes, boss, I saw Oso... To be honest, if I hadn't known him for so long, I almost didn't recognize him."

"He seems a little different."

"If I'm not mistaken, the people next to Oso should be the Bucciarati team under Borbo... I just saw that there was a stand for someone, and it seemed that it could be tracked, so I didn't have time to meet Oso..."

The boy named Tobio interrupted himself, and one of his golden brown eyes suddenly turned green, as if the pupil was broken. [No, there is no need for that!]

[Now Oso is a traitor. 】

Tobio was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to speak up for Gu Kui, "But boss, Oso seems to have been seriously injured, so he didn't come back in time... maybe there was some misunderstanding!"

[Tobias, my dear Tobias, don't deceive yourself. You should understand that he knows too much.]

Tobio was silent for a while. He knew this, of course. "But, but..."

[Someone has been investigating me recently, and I have sent my personal guard to deal with it. And Oso's existence itself has exposed my information. As long as he is still alive, he is a threat to me. ]

[You should know what to do next, Tobio.]

"...I understand, boss." Tobio's expression darkened, and his tone became quite steady and calm. "I will deal with all those who have come into contact with Oso, including Oso. I will never give Oso the chance to expose your information, boss."

[Very good. But you don't need to do it yourself for now. I will let the guards come again. You just need to clean up the rest. My lovely Tobio.]

Tobio closed his eyes and said, "Yes, boss."

When he opened his eyes again, his expression and pupil color returned to normal. Tobio exhaled, "...Oso, that guy, has turned into an enemy... He clearly agreed to go out for pizza together when he came back."

"And if we want to deal with Oso... in the Guards, except for that guy's stand-in, no one else can do it, right?" Tobio touched his arm, but noticed the pen in his hand, and looked a little confused, "Huh? Why am I holding a pen?"

Tobio put the pen back into his handbag with a strange look on his face and left.

On the other side, Gu Kui curled up his legs on a narrow chair, staring expressionlessly at the countdown of the oven filled with rags, from ten to one, and then started a new round.

Narancia lay on a chair in the restaurant and said to Bucciarati in a panicked and unbelievable tone: "Just now I went to the kitchen to look for Orso - but, but do you know what I saw?! Orso seems to be really not right now, I say!"

The pronunciation of Oso is much simpler than that of Gukui. Naranja often calls Gukui "Oso" unconsciously.

Bucciarati said: "Losing memory is a very bad thing... Seeing familiar objects and similar faces will produce a sense of daze. We can't just judge the bone ghoul casually."

Naranja repeated, "But there's something really wrong with Gu Ku!"

Apaki propped his chin up and asked a new possibility, "That kid isn't that fragile... So I'm asking, did he really see it?"

Bucciarati: “What?”

Apaki explained, "Ah... I mean, is it true that he knew the kid, but the guy didn't want to acknowledge him? Maybe he was abandoned... or something like that."

Abbacchio's previous career was as a policeman. He had seen many cases... This incident was just one of them. He was used to imagining the worst and was unwilling to believe in human nature (except Bucciarati).

Bucciarati pinched his chin. "It's very likely... I remember there were no missions during this period. Apaki, it looks like I'm going to trouble you."

Abbaccio anticipated Bucciarati's reaction and nodded, "I understand."

Bucciarati added: "Don't tell Kotobuki for now, or things will get more complicated."

The other three nodded, "Got it."

Abbaccio's blues can play Kotobuki backwards, and of course it can also play the person Kotobuki saw backwards. Without Kotobuki knowing, Abbaccio followed Bucciarati out again.

With a certain range and an accurate time, it only took Apache a few minutes to determine who Kokumi saw at the time. The person played backwards by the blues was a boy who looked only a few years older than Kokumi. He seemed to be holding something in his hand and had been standing there, looking at the location of the restaurant.

Bucciarati frowned slightly. "He seems to be confirming something."

Abbage speeds up the reverse playback, and Blues' movements become quite savage. After speeding up for about three minutes, Blues, who has transformed into a pink-haired boy, immediately starts to jog, as if being chased by something. Abbage changes the reverse playback character from the pink-haired boy to Kotobuki, and as expected, he sees Kotobuki appearing from the door.

Apache nodded and confirmed: "It seems that this is the person."

Bucciarati also frowned slightly, "He knows Kotobuki, but why is he hiding from him?"

Apache glanced at the blues who were still moving and said, "Just follow them and you'll know."

The two followed Melancholy Blues and rushed once again towards the alley they had just arrived at. However, they did not notice that at this time, someone was watching them through the surveillance camera.

The young man squatted in front of the notebook in the hotel, covered with a layer of white blanket, with an unclear face. Only the computer screen reflected his unforgettable pupils that looked like broken jade. The young man exuded a terrifying aura, and a strand of pink hair fell down.

He stared closely at what was displayed on the screen - the two people were facing nothing, whispering in the place where Tobio had stood, and combined with what Tobio said to him... He almost instantly understood the Stand ability of this member of the Bucciarati team named Abbazi.

That is a substitute from the "past", a substitute that no secret can be hidden from him, and can almost be considered as a substitute for his mortal enemy!

This time, even if Oso (Bone Eater) is not there, this person, this stand, must not be kept!

The young man squatted in front of his notebook and sent the latest order to the two guards who had already rushed to the town, requiring them to eliminate Bucciarati and Abbaccio immediately today.

The crisis has quietly arrived without anyone noticing.

The author has something to say: Just to tell you, Tobio and Catfishtail have the same voice actor.

Also, I have tried very hard not to spoil the story, cover my mouth. Every time I read the reviews, I want to say something, but in the end I still keep my mouth shut. I spoiled too much last time, I won’t do it this time!
