You have started your 34th playthrough.
This time, the one who remembers is Date Wataru.
However, even though no one has any memory, Rei Furuya will no longer hide it from them.
He felt that there was definitely hope if everyone worked together, and it felt really good to work together with everyone, so he decided to continue trying the methods they had discussed in the previous cycle.
He only failed once; it's not time to give up yet. He should trust and rely on everyone more. He's not alone anymore, and there's still a lot of hope.
“I think the method from last time was still quite effective.” He said earnestly to the four of them, “However, it would be best if the class monitor didn’t get involved this time. After all, the class monitor hasn’t survived his ordeal yet. So, just help him secretly, like before, okay?”
Date Wataru: "..."
Ida Kou reluctantly agreed.
He had taken a nap in Kenji Hagiwara's car before he arrived, and had already gained the memories. After waking up, he immediately dictated most of the information he could remember, which Kenji Hagiwara recorded.
However, he never expected that he, the only person besides Furuya Rei who still had memories, would ultimately be excluded from the plan. Even with a valid reason, he couldn't help but feel frustrated and resentful.
Apart from Date-kun's portion, everyone else followed the pattern from the previous playthrough.
Matsuda Jinpei found an excuse to temporarily avoid returning to the Explosives Division, and then successfully joined forces with Hagiwara Kenji to conduct a joint investigation with the Public Security Bureau, practically sleeping outside Morofushi Kagemitsu's cell with his sleeping bag.
The police, having received approval from their superiors, stopped interfering.
With the experience from last time, it was easier to catch the assassin this time, so that Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda wouldn't have to work too hard.
Meanwhile, Ida Wataru was carefully observing everyone at the Metropolitan Police Department.
And so, the time came to December 5th.
As Ida Wataru, who had worked overtime until 11 p.m. and was about to leave, walked down the dimly lit corridor of the Metropolitan Police Department, he suddenly heard people in the distance vaguely discussing the name Midorikawa Hikaru, which immediately aroused his vigilance.
As he approached quickly, the voices of the conversation became clearer and clearer.
"...It's that Midorikawa Hikaru I was secretly complaining about to you about half a month ago, the one who got arrested for illegally carrying a sniper rifle on the street! He really looks exactly like our classmate Morofushi Kagemitsu from the police academy, except he has a bit more stubble and is a bit more muscular and not as slender. But surely I wouldn't not recognize that popular guy from school?"
"Really? I heard he resigned, didn't he? I never imagined he would change his name and take on such a dangerous job. It's truly regrettable."
"Yeah, I wonder how his childhood friend, who was always with him, is doing. I haven't heard from him at all. If there were a handsome blond, dark-skinned policeman somewhere, he wouldn't be completely unknown, right? After all, he's so amazing... Hmm, could he have stopped being a policeman? Sigh, they were both such outstanding police academy students, not to mention Furuya, who was the top student at the academy—"
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Date Wataru roared, interrupting them.
They were still very far apart, but the Metropolitan Police Department was only staffed with officers working overtime or on duty at night. The sudden roar of Date Wataru in the quiet corridor was enough to frighten the two of them into immediately shutting up.
It took a while for Date Wataru to finally run up to the two men. His expression and aura almost scared the two policemen into drawing their guns. They only realized what had happened after they saw that it was Date Wataru, and they were a little embarrassed.
"Oh, it's Date-kun. You're not their class representative anymore, and we didn't say anything bad about them, so there's no need to be so angry..."
"You've all been notified already! No talking about or leaking their information!" Ida Kou said through gritted teeth.
The two police officers were a bit confused: "We were indeed reminded a few years ago, but... we didn't talk about it outside. Can't we even complain to our own people in private?"
Date Wataru took a deep breath, about to speak, when he suddenly heard a voice from upstairs: "Who was shouting so loudly just now? What happened? Huh? Which department are you from? Wait a minute... Ah!!!"
The screams stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground and someone running away quickly.
Ida's heart skipped a beat, and he ran upstairs, where he saw the police officer on duty who had been knocked unconscious and the dark figure that had disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Stop!" Date Wataru immediately gave chase.
Although he was tall, he was not clumsy at all; in fact, he was so agile that he was the only one in the entire police academy who could be defeated by Rei Furuya. With his long legs, he managed to catch up with the dark figure despite the interference from the police ahead.
She is a woman, but she is extremely strong.
Ida Wataru exchanged a few blows with her in the dark, but she escaped after he only managed to knock off her wig.
"Really? This is the fourth floor!!!" Ida Kou looked down from the window and saw a nimble woman in black with white hair and high heels easily land on the air conditioner unit and pipes, jump into a car across the street and speed away.
"Damn it!" Date called the Ministry of Transportation to intercept them immediately, but knew it was basically impossible, so he called Furuya Rei instead.
After listening to him, Furuya Rei fell silent for two seconds before letting out a sigh.
“It was Curaçao,” he said. “She’s Rum’s confidante. She must have heard Hiro’s full name, which is why she was so quick to knock out the policeman and run away.”
"Then your identity is also..." Ida Kou was very annoyed, thinking that if he had discovered and stopped the two policemen from leaking information earlier and faster, it would have been great.
“Blonde hair, dark skin, Furuya, Morofushi Hiromitsu’s childhood friend, top student at the police academy, that’s enough to quickly find out my identity,” Furuya Rei said calmly. “It seems that going to the police station is also a dead end. The police station is so big, there are quite a few people who know me and Hiro. If we stay at the police station for too long, it will be easy for the organization that is currently focusing on probing the police to discover our identities.”
“It’s okay, we can try other methods next time.” He lowered his voice slightly to comfort his frustrated friend. “It’s not the squad leader’s fault. In fact, thanks to the squad leader’s timely discovery, we still have some time to react and can try the escape plan ahead of time.”
He explained earnestly, "Moreover, with the world's targeted murders, countless accidents can be easily created to allow the organization to obtain intelligence. Maybe next time it will be some restaurant we went to before that will leak my and Hiro's real names."
"...Okay, I got it." Date Hang let out a long breath, his voice regaining its strength, and laughed, "Then don't try to sneak around doing something reckless behind our backs next time!"
Rei Furuya laughed: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
After hanging up the phone, he immediately began preparing for his escape.
As I stepped out of my room and opened the front door, the door to Ray's room behind me also opened.
With his long hair slightly disheveled, Lei leaned against the door, frowning as he looked at the blond, dark-skinned youth who was dressed neatly and ready to go out and cause trouble: "Where are you going? Don't you have a mission tomorrow?"
The blond youth paused for a moment, then turned around and smirked, saying, "A place you'd better never reach."
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Lei: "..."
Why are you angry again?
December 6th, 8:00 AM.
Ray received orders to hunt down Bourbon.
“Bourbon is an undercover agent,” Gin said. “He and Scotland are both lackeys of the Public Security Bureau.”
Lei: "..."
Lai: "?"
Gin impatiently sent him a document containing Scotland and Bourbon's real names and identities, as well as a photo of them in police academy uniforms under a cherry blossom tree.
Bourbon and Scotland, Furuya Rei and Morofushi Hiromitsu, are not only undercover agents, but also classmates from police academy and childhood friends who grew up together.
So all their previous messy romantic relationships were just an act for them?
Clearly, the one who was portrayed most convincingly by the two of them, Lai, was the most pitiful victim.
Vodka patted him on the shoulder silently, offering wordless comfort.
Lei: "..."
*
December 7th.
Since Bourbon escaped quickly and hid well and couldn't be caught for the time being, the organization turned its attention to three other police officers who were clearly acting with them to deceive the organization, as well as their families.
However, the three policemen were also on guard and hid as well.
However, their family and friends cannot all hide in a short period of time.
The unexpected surprise was that after the assassinations of the police officers' families began, the five men finally showed up.
All five were highly capable police officers, and the Public Security Bureau also deployed personnel to protect them. However, the organization was determined to kill Bourbon no matter the cost, and mobilized almost everyone they could.
The colossal entity that had been lurking in the shadows for so long was finally getting serious. With the help of the world, killing a mere five police officers in a short time was not difficult at all, and even their families were implicated.
An organization cannot be resisted by any single individual or organization.
