[My smile froze on my face, tell me this is fake, okay?]

[Wuwuwu! How can this be possible! ! Why did my iron-blooded CP suddenly become BE! ! ]

[Calm down, I'm already BE]

[I can’t control myself——(screaming) Akabane Subaru, if you don’t come back to life, are you human? ! I’ve become a substitute and even forgot the original owner. What can I do?]

[No wonder Songjiang's personality has changed back to normal. I thought he was acting so cheerful, and his emotions are really cheerful... (mixed emotions)]

[So how are Matsuda and the others going to give the USB drive to others? And even if they give it to others now, Matsue won’t be able to remember the location of the cherry blossom forest, right?]

[I thought the Red team had won this time, but now I think that Master Qin is indeed the leader of the Black team...]

"Ding ding." The car behind was urging us, indicating that the green light had come on.

Kenji Hagihara held the steering wheel, not knowing what to say.

From the rearview mirror of the car, one can see half of Matsue Shigure's face hidden in the shadows. He is calm and rational, and it seems that he is not aware that there is anything wrong with his memory.

Maybe—he's used to it.

After all, he is a man who can calmly say "Can I survive this year?", and the loss of any amount of memory will not shake his will.

It's just... a little tricky.

Subaru Akabane risked his life to give this as a graduation gift. Even though Kenji Hagiwara had never met this senior before, as the recipient, he had an invisible sense of responsibility and wanted to return it to the right person.

And now that Instructor Matsue has seen this, he will not show any sign of fluctuation, and may even dislike the fact that he is a member of Akabane Subaru's organization.

Not to mention, I can't even remember it, let alone look for intelligence.

"Speaking of which, my partner that you just mentioned." Matsue Shigure suddenly spoke up, "Can you tell me what you know about him?"

Matsuda Jinpei/Hagiwara Kenji: "Huh?"

Matsue Shigure was not asking casually, he wanted to know what the people around him knew about Akabane Subaru, and why his poor partner who died young was always dragged into the main plot's turmoil.

It's okay once or twice, but when it happens too often, Songjiang Shigure always has a strange and weird feeling.

System: "Why? You don't like to talk about him?"

Matsue Shigure: "...Not really. I've always felt that Akabane Subaru's way of thinking is very compatible with mine. If I were to put myself in his shoes when I saw these things--"

Matsue Shigure said solemnly, "Who knows, I might even shout 'Don't let me die' in my rotten voice from my coffin."

System: “…”

For a moment, it was a little impressed by Matsue Shigure's intuition.

It turns out that Subaru Akabane was the protagonist of the romance game that Matsue Shigure played before. He was controlled by him personally, but as the game world merged, he became an NPC of this world.

It would be strange if your way of thinking is different from his.

Songjiang Shiyu suddenly became alert: "Tong, you are not hiding something from me, are you?"

At this time, Hagiwara Kenji spoke. He did not turn around, but said in a clear enough voice: "As for Akabane-senpai... Actually, we don't know much about him. There are some things that my sister told me."

"By the way, my sister is Chisawa Hagiwara. She is from the same class as you. Instructor, do you have any impression of her?"

…

In Kanagawa, in the evening, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda approached Chisawa Hagiwara who had just finished his shift.

The brown-haired policewoman was sassy and sharp. When she learned the purpose of the two men's visit, her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

"What? Did you run into Songjiang?" She was surprised. "Is he in Tokyo? Did you not disturb his secret mission?"

Hagiwara Kenji was confused: "What secret mission?"

Hagiwara Chisaku waved his hands and said, "Nothing. So what's the situation now? Kenji, you're not being beaten up by your new partner as if you were a corpse?"

Hagiwara Kenji twitched his lips: "Why was I beaten? Wait, Instructor Matsue has a new partner?!"

"Yeah." Hagiwara Chisaku nodded. "I ran into him about two years ago. I have to say that Songjiang has a good eye for people. He can easily find a reliable partner... But why are they all icebergs?"

She briefly described the situation, and when Hagiwara Kenji pressed her, she said helplessly, "That partner had short black hair, looked very serious, had deep olive green eyes, and was left-handed. I don't know the details."

——Another new piece of news.

There was news of Matsue Shigure two years ago, but he might have been carrying out some secret mission, which caused his body to become like this now, and he has only now retreated behind the scenes.

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda could only think of Matsue Shigure's current work department, and their impression of the Security Bureau was unconsciously much worse.

This is also the reason why the two sides are particularly jealous when they meet.

"As for your question about Akabane Subaru..."

Hagiwara Chisawa held the helmet in his arms and looked up to recall the past.

A flash of nostalgia and sadness suddenly flashed across her blue eyes: "It's really a distant memory."

***

Hagiwara Chisuga met Matsue Shigure and others at a large-scale outdoor skills competition organized by the school.

The students were divided into two groups, red and blue, by drawing lots, with 40 people in each area. They had to survive in the wild, fight against attack and defense, and if their armband was taken off, they would be considered a failure.

At that time, Hagiwara Chisawa learned from the gossip of his classmates that those who were assigned to the same area as them included Matsue Shigure and Akabane Subaru from the Onizuka Class.

"How come everyone in our class was separated, but these two were still grouped together? They must be cheating!!"

Her classmates hugged her arms and complained: "Well, it would be faster for us to just surrender."

"What's wrong with them? There are only 20 of us here. There's no need to encourage others and destroy our own prestige."

"Qiansu! I've already told you not to hang out in the library all day, you should at least get some gossip. That Matsue Shigure doesn't look like an Earthling in every way!"

Her classmates had puzzled expressions.

Hagiwara Chisu was forced to listen to a lot of gossip, including but not limited to——

Matsue Shigure angrily scolded the instructor in class and even wanted to jump off the roof of the teaching building to prove his bizarre point of view. If he hadn't been stopped by someone, he would have been on the news.

Songjiang Shigure tasted gunpowder during the shooting class. After returning from the hospital after having his stomach washed, he still refused to accept the instructor's review and would rather run a hundred laps on the playground, which he actually finished.

"He ran so many laps full of energy right after having his stomach washed. Is he still a human being?" the classmate complained.

There was also a series of N fights with the instructor in Matsue Shigure's fighting class. When the fight got too intense, he even took Akabane Subaru's baton and said he wanted to show off his special move, the nunchaku...

Hagiwara Chisu was so shocked that she couldn't help asking, "What about the other one?"

"Are you talking about Akabane Subaru?" her classmate said, "You can think of this as an iceberg version of Matsue Shigure. Although he didn't do things as outrageous as him, his lethality is no less."

Hagiwara Chisaku couldn't help but ask, "For example, eating gunpowder together?"

Classmate: "Oh, it's not like that. At most, he just watched from the side and helped to wash the stomach immediately."

Hagiwara Chisawa: "!! This is even more abnormal!"

"Besides! The two of them always work together. I think the five of us were beaten by just one of their hands."

Hagiwara Chisawa didn't take the complaint seriously until the first night of the actual battle.

It was raining heavily and the students who were keeping watch did not say a word. Hagiwara Chisuku only vaguely smelled a strange fragrance and then passed out.

Chisu Hagiwara woke up amidst the loud noise and shaking of collisions. She felt dizzy and her body was wet, but she had no time to care.

Because her four classmates were also lying unconscious beside her, their hands and feet tied up, unable to move.

All I could hear was the driver in front of me talking loudly and recklessly.

"Hahaha, we're really lucky today. It's raining so hard that even the police dogs can't be mobilized. It's estimated that if these students are caught, they won't be discovered for a while!"

"I have to say that police girls look hot and can make a lot of money."

"Luckily, the boss got some high-grade incense this time, and drilled into the power grid in advance. Tsk, if the money wasn't so high this time, it would be really hard to take over the job of kidnapping a police officer."

"What are you afraid of? If you make a little money, your life will be secure. Then you can live a carefree life."

"Hahahaha you're right!"

They even played exciting music at a very high volume, as if they were ready to celebrate their victory.

Hagiwara Chisu felt disgusted as she listened to these words. She knew in her heart that this group of kidnappers had planned this in advance and their goal was to kidnap the policewoman who was tired after a day of fighting.

For a desperate criminal, it is useless to threaten him with his identity, but it is undoubtedly difficult for him to save himself and escape.

She struggled for a moment, and found that she had not yet recovered her strength.

His mouth was taped shut, so he couldn't even call for help.

What to do now?

Hagiwara Chisu was extremely anxious. Suddenly, the truck made a sharp turn. Amid the violent shaking, she seemed to hear a "click" sound of something.

The rear door suddenly opened halfway, with only the other half, which was held closed by a latch, remaining closed. Dim daylight shone in from the open side.

The strong wind and the clear sound of rain rushed into my ears, like the beginning of an incredible miracle drama.

On the empty road, there was only a motorcycle with a black glow biting the truck tightly. The sharp friction sound in the air was like a snake fighting to the death with its prey.

The helmeted driver leaned down slightly, using his shoulders to naturally support his companion who was standing up unsteadily.

Hagiwara Chisaku thought he might be dazzled or still in a dream.

How did she see a motorcycle racing with a truck in the rain? !

It’s okay to just run a race, but why do the people on top dare to stand up directly? Isn’t this really just some kind of prank?

The blond young man in camouflage uniform just stood firm, letting the big raindrops hit his hair and cheeks. The red armband on his sleeve was particularly eye-catching.

He was holding an automatically retractable elastic band in his hand, and the other end had been hooked on the bolted door of the truck.

The pair of deep blue eyes in the mist met her gaze, revealing a steady and resolute comfort, and - excitement!

Hagiwara Sentsu: "!!!"

Only now did she recognize from this unique appearance that this was Matsue Shigure.

What do these two people want to do!

The motorcycle suddenly accelerated, and like a cheetah tearing its food on the grassland, it swung violently, accompanied by thunder in the sky, and stopped in front of the open rear door.

Matsue Shigure, who was at the back, put one foot on the seat and then used the tension of the elastic band to lift himself up suddenly, and then he flipped into the truck as easily as a cat.

Then, he held the car door with one hand and stretched out with the other hand, with half of his body hanging on the side of the car.

Subaru Akabane, who was driving, had already taken off his helmet. He grabbed his hand without hesitation and jumped off on the motorcycle in a flash.

The two people rolled in the car, and Matsue Shigure's back hit the door, barely stopping his movement.

The motorcycle, which was traveling at high speed, lost human control, suddenly turned sideways, rolled several times on the slippery ground, and then caught fire.

This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous action. As Hagiwara Chisawa watched, he felt his breathing speed up and his heart was pounding.

“Mmmmm!”

Her blue eyes had widened to their maximum size at some point as she looked at these two people who could be said to be seeking their deaths.

This is a vicious kidnapper! What's the difference between you two and falling into the tiger's mouth? !

——But no one paid any attention to her for the time being.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, go get them."

Matsue Shigure was pulled up. He took a few breaths, turned around and untied the expansion strap hanging on the car door.

In the dim light, Subaru Akabane squatted in front of Chisuga Hagiwara and tore off the transparent tape around her mouth.

Hagiwara Chisaku took two quick breaths and said in a low voice, "How did you two get here? Shouldn't we call the police and find the instructor first?"

Subaru Akabane said simply: "Too slow."

Hagiwara Sentsu: "???"

Wait! Chisaku Hagiwara's eyes suddenly widened. She found that this Subaru Akabane looked like her brother!

If it weren't for the fact that the little brat Kenji Hagiwara was still a sophomore in college, she would have questioned her life.

"What he meant was that the police were too slow to arrive, and we were worried that we would lose them after we called the police, so we caught up with them in advance."

Songjiang Shiyu fixed the two wet car doors with elastic bands, leaving only a gap through which light could pass.

He walked over, patted Chisawara's shoulder, and smiled brightly: "Don't worry, the police have been contacted, and they will be here soon."

Hagiwara Chisawa was about to say something, but when he met the eyes of the black-haired young man who remained silent, he shuddered for no apparent reason—

She quickly said, "Shouldn't you hand in your phone?"

"It's okay. Akabane has secretly kept a super high-end cell phone that can be resistant to detection." Matsue Shigure said excitedly, "and it's fully charged!"

There's no need to be so happy about this kind of disciplinary violation.

"But! What are you doing here!" Hagiwara Chisu gritted his teeth, "What if the police don't arrive in time? The criminals will find you two when they open the door!"

"Isn't it okay to just follow along?" she asked angrily.

Matsue Shigure: "It's easy to be discovered that way, and our goal is the lair of these guys."

"Oh no! Don't move!"

Matsue Shigure muttered to himself, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He held the shoulder of Akabane Subaru beside him with one hand and touched his stomach anxiously.

"!!!"

Hagiwara Chisuki stared with eyes wide open. Only then did she realize that Akabane Subaru's belly was bulging for some reason, as if he was pregnant.

The black-haired man had his hands behind his back at this moment, and he was still letting Matsue Shigure undress him with an expressionless face. Hagiwara Chisuki inexplicably saw a hint of hopelessness in his eyes.

Soon, a large bag of something wrapped in cloth was turned out. Subaru Akabane quickly zipped up his clothes and then looked at her with a threatening look.

Hagiwara Chisaku's eyes drifted away, and he quickly asked, "What is this?"

Matsue Shigure unravelled the cloth and took out two long wigs, ropes of various styles, and then a few... cushions?

"Hey, Akabane, look, this silicone breast pad is sticky. It looks like you don't even need buttons, you can just stick it on!"

"Um……"

Hagiwara Chisaku's pupils trembled.

Before she could ask any questions, she saw Matsue Shigure holding two wigs and asking Akabane Subaru which one to choose. The latter very naturally chose the one with long straight black hair and started putting it on his head without saying a word.

"You, you wouldn't be..." It took her a long while to realize their plan.

I'm afraid she wanted to disguise herself as a kidnapped policewoman, follow the criminals to their lair, and catch them all in one fell swoop.

"The forest was dark in the actual combat situation, and the two criminals were so panicked that we followed them and they couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the original one or not."

Matsue Shigure said this, remaining very calm from beginning to end, because even if this plan failed, their military strength would be a backup.

"Wait a minute." Hagiwara Chisu said in a low voice, "Where did these things come from?! Don't tell me you brought these with you during special training!"

"I bought it on the road." Songjiang Shiyu said as she combed her slightly curly long hair.

"We bought all these things from the same store. I have to say, that store was open late at night and had everything we needed. We were super lucky!"

"Hehe, this is God asking us to save the world!"

A certain golden retriever was boasting, and although he tried to lower his voice so that the people in front of him wouldn't hear it, his confidence was still evident.

"But why hide it in your stomach?"

"I don't know, but the boss said it's safer this way, and it won't be seen or fall off easily."

Subaru Akabane put on the wig, paused on the silicone breast pad, and finally moved to the rope.

He observed the unconscious policewoman next to him, picked out the closest rope, and quickly tied a knot on his hand.

"Okay, stop talking and get ready quickly." He urged Matsue Shigure in a low voice.

The blond young man raised his voice and began to undress himself. He pulled his wet camouflage uniform down to his elbows and then began to gesture with the breast pad.

"I remember the boss said to align it with the chest and then fit it in place slowly... Wait, am I crooked?"

"no."

"Akabane, do you need my help? How about I help you paste it?"

"……Need not!"

Hagiwara Chisawa has closed his eyes.

She really discovered that Matsue Shigure's personality was indeed not very Earthly.

How could he do so much so straightforwardly and naturally?

Although Chisu Hagiwara had to admit that she felt particularly at ease now.

There is no tension at all.

Even wanted to laugh.

But come to think of it, what kind of store can you buy these things so coincidentally?

“We’re done.”

When Hagiwara Chisawa opened his eyes after hearing this, he saw Matsue Shigure who was throwing away the unused things and tilting his head back to let the rain soak his wig.

The blond young man... no, maybe now apart from his voice, he no longer looks like a man.

Songjiang Shiyu's wet long hair stuck to his cheeks, and the flickering light and shadow flowed in his cobalt blue eyes, inexplicably carrying a kind of innocent charm.

The camouflage uniform on his body had long been soaked by the rain and was now sticking to his skin. The zipper pulled to the top barely covered his Adam's apple. With the chest pad on, it still looked quite decent.

"hiss--"

Hagiwara Chisuku took a deep breath and felt her heart beating faster.

"Matsue, come here."

Subaru Akabane, with wet hair, stood in the shadows. Even with a wig, his 1.80-meter height was still difficult to conceal.

"Okay!"

As expected, as soon as the golden-haired creature opened his mouth, the jumping aura that hit his face instantly broke Hagiwara Chisu's heart again.

The two woke up the other students, told them about their current plan, and replaced everyone's ropes with fake buckles that could be untied with force.

As for the red and blue armbands on their hands, they were all taken off and thrown away. Throwing them away meant actual defeat, but no one cared now.

After all, they were all specially trained in the police academy. After waking up, the female police officers remained quiet and, at the same time, blocked the two latecomers in the innermost part.

Looking at Akabane Subaru's cold attitude, Hagiwara Chisuke felt that he would get into trouble if he continued like this. She was about to remind him to be more restrained when she saw Matsue Shigure nudging him with her elbow.

Akabane Subaru frowned, and when he raised his head again, there was a hint of pitiful expression between his brows.

This kind of change in temperament caused by changing the eyes and micro-expressions is extremely difficult to achieve and only appears in a few top actors.

Hagiwara Chisuki was a little shocked, but soon, as the elastic band was pulled out and the car door closed again, the room fell into darkness again.

It was so quiet that I could only hear people breathing and couldn't see anything.

A female police officer couldn't resist her curiosity and asked quietly: "Mr. Songjiang, where did you get the wig and breast pad?"

Matsue Shigure whispered again how they happened to run into the store.

If they hadn't met by such a coincidence, they might not have been able to come up with a plan to break into the house, and following them would have been much more likely to alert the criminals.

"Do you remember what your name was? What a coincidence!" the policewoman said excitedly, "If you are really rescued, you must thank him very much."

Another female police officer said weakly: "I think we should stop asking..."

"What is orange? Akabane, do you remember it?"

Subaru Akabane said nothing.

"You actually forgot one day. Never mind. I didn't remember either—"

"Encounter."

"What?"

Someone's cold voice rang out: "Orange Encounter."

"Oh, yes, yes, this excellent strategy was suggested by Akabane! I almost missed it."

Chisawa Hagiwara didn't understand it at first, but when he listened to his classmate who was very close to him and could be said to be the gossip king on weekdays, he took a deep breath as if he was burned by eating spicy food, and suddenly he felt that he understood.

If it's just wigs and breast pads, you can find them in general women's product stores, but -

The other policewomen didn't see the mess of ropes, but she did!!

"Puh, cough, cough!" Someone started coughing. "So you two went to buy it together? You showed your driver's licenses? You were wearing the camouflage uniforms issued by the police academy?"

Matsue Shigure: "Of course——"

"Shut up!"
