"Hey, are you okay?"

"gentlemen?"

Hinata Hajime felt as if his head was exploding with pain. His consciousness gradually recovered, but it was still as if there was a layer of cloth covering it. Through the cloth, a slightly gentle male voice reached his ears, like an old CD, which made a stuttering sound because of the scratches on it.

He tried hard to open his eyes, and perhaps it showed on his face, the other person's voice paused.

"Wow! He's still alive!"

"Of course, he's still breathing, of course he's still alive, Misaki, calm down."

"Huh?! Shut up, you stinky monkey!"

The curtain on his ears was pulled open, and Hinata Sou slowly opened his eyes. The next moment he saw the person squatting next to him, and there were two teenagers who looked like gangsters fighting next to them.

"Ah, you're awake." Jushu Duoduoliang looked at him with a smile, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Hinata Sou shook his head. The person in front of him was too non-aggressive, so he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "I'm fine."

"Great, then what's your name and why are you lying here?" Jutsu Tadara pointed around and Hinata Hajime looked outside following his finger. Then he saw a ruin. It seemed to be a dilapidated building. The sunlight shone down from the roof and sprinkled on him.

Hinata Hajime reached out his hand, and when he felt the warmth he blinked as if he had reacted.

"My name is Hinata Hajime." Hinata Hajime said, "Yes... eh?"

Hinata frowned, "What was it?"

"Why am I here?"

Hinata Hajime looked around blankly. He felt like a vine with broken roots. He felt that there must be a reason why he came here, but except for his own name, everything was empty. He had very little memory, and those empty spaces seemed to be blown into by cold air, making him shiver.

He must have forgotten something quite important.

But what is it?

Why did he come here?

"Hey, you guys, are you losing your memory? This is the plot in the novel." The boy who was yelling just now looked at Hinata Hajime in surprise.

"When will Misaki read novels?" The boy wearing glasses next to him complained in a lazy voice. He seemed to have no interest in Hinata Hajime at all. All his eyes were focused on the light-screen computer in his hand, and his fingers were constantly operating something.

Jutsu Tadara didn't care about them either, he just held out his hand to Hinata Hajime, "Hello Mr. Hinata, my name is Jutsu Tadara."

"Well, hello." Hinata Hajime was pulled up. He looked at everything unfamiliar around him, his green eyes full of confusion.

What is this place? What is he going to do?

Who is he?

"Can't remember?" Jutsu Tado looked at Hinata Hajime and asked gently, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Thank you." Hinata Hajime pressed his temple. "I don't know why, but I feel like the hospital can't cure it."

"That sounds scary, how about having a drink?" Jutsu Tadara suggested with a smile, "I don't know where I heard this from, but it's said that after a person has a good sleep, they suddenly become confused and forget about the past. If they drink a glass of wine, they will remember."

"real?"

"Well, I think it's true."

Hatta Misaki tugged at Fushimi Saruhiko's sleeve and asked, "What is Totsuka-san talking about?"

"Just saying it, don't worry about it."

"Huh?" Hatta Misaki looked at Fushimi Saruhiko in surprise, "So, Monkey, what have you been looking into?"

Beside him, Hinata Hajime was being pulled away by Jutsu Tadara. The other party was still a little confused, but did not refuse. Fushimi Saruhiko glanced at Hinata Hajime and then closed the computer in his hand.

"no."

“Obviously there is!”

"I told you I don't have Misaki anymore." Fushimi Saruhiko yawned lazily, "I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."

Hatta Misaki jumped up and said, "But you have slept all morning!"

Ignoring Hatta Misaki who was still jumping up and down, Fushimi Saruhiko put down his hand and looked at the man in front of him who was being pulled away by Totara Jutsu, but was still very curious about his surroundings.

He looks young, around 20 years old, dressed in black, with long black hair and soft grass-green eyes. He gives people a very gentle feeling when he opens his eyes. He is wary of people, but he will relax after observation.

This is an abandoned building and there is no surveillance at all, but everywhere here is surveillance.

Fushimi Saruhiko checked all the road surveillance cameras that could lead to this place, and was surprised to find that the man did not pass through any of the roads.

Could it be that...

Fushimi Saruhiko looked up at the sky.

Could it be that he came down from the sky?

In short, Hinata Hajime was brought to Houmaira in a daze, and a glass of wine was mixed in front of him. He looked at the cup with barley-colored wine and fell into deep thought about whether to try it or not.

I always feel that I shouldn't drink it.

"Why don't you drink?" Izumo Kusanagi looked at Hyuga Hajime from behind the bar, "You came to the bar and ordered a drink but you don't drink it."

Hinata Hajime twitched his lips. "Well, it was more like I was dragged here by force than I ordered it. And before I could react, there was a glass of wine in front of me."

Kusanagi Izumo was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Jutsuki Tadara who had come back and hid in the corner, "Jutsuki!"

"Yes, I'm here!"

"Although I asked you to attract customers to increase revenue, how can you just bring someone in?" Kusanagi Izumo walked over and pulled Jutsu Tadara out, "We are not a terrorist organization that forces ordinary people to buy things!"

"What's the matter?" Jutsu Tadara smiled and dodged Kusanagi Izumo's hand, "This gentleman forgot something. Maybe he will remember it after drinking."

"What did you forget? Does that mean you can't even pay the money?"

So Jutsu Tadara also thought of this problem, and the two people present turned their heads to look at Hinata Hajime. Hinata Hajime, who was still struggling over whether to drink or not, was stunned for a moment. He blinked, then reached into his pocket, and after a moment he took out the banknotes from his pocket.

JPY.

A few thousand dollar bills and some loose coins.

"Wow, this is an antique from many years ago." Kusanagi Izumo came over to look at the Japanese yen he had placed on the table, "Is this all you have?"

Hinata Hajime nodded, "Yeah, it seems this is the only one."

"What's wrong with that? Even though they are antiques, they definitely have their own value." Jushu Duoduoliang said with a smile, "I think these things are worth a glass of wine."

Kusanagi Izumo sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

"But if you're sick, it's better to go to the hospital than to drink." Kusanagi Izumo picked up a coin and put it away. "Don't listen to Jutsuka. He thinks everything can be fixed. He's an optimist. Listening to him is like stepping into a trap."

"How could that be?" Jutsu Tadara said with a smile, "I just think there are always more solutions than problems, and there are always good solutions to everything."

Hinata Hajime looked at them, his mind passively instilled with words.

Although he is a little silent, he listens to others very seriously.

Even though he said he had lost his memory, both Kusanagi Izumo and Jutsuko Tadara could see that he must be a very kind person with a gentle personality. He was used to thinking about others, so even if he lost his memory, he would subconsciously consider other people's feelings.

"Can I ask you something?" Hinata Hajime suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Do you know where there are some things?" Hinata Sou thought, "I don't know what it is, but it's something that may glow."

Jutsuka Tadara and Kusanagi Izumo looked at each other, and after a moment Kusanagi Izumo spoke, "There are so many things that glow, even neon lights glow. Are you looking for a neon light?"

Hinata Hajime shook his head. "It's not a neon light. It should be something unusual. I forgot where it is, but I feel like I must find it."

"Otherwise, something terrible will happen."

"Then you shouldn't look for us, you should look for Scepter 4." Kusanagi Izumo said, "They are the organization that handles such terrible things."

Jutsu Tado thought for a moment, "But, Scepter 4 doesn't have a leader right now, so they probably don't know either, right?"

"That's right. Since the death of the previous Blue King, Scepter 4 has been in disarray."

Hinata Hajime didn't understand a thing. He looked at the two people in front of him blankly, "Um, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just chatting about something else, but anyway, you are looking for a special luminous object, right?" Jutsu Tadara sat in front of Hinata Hajime, "Since I found you and brought you here, I will take responsibility and take you to find the special luminous object!"

Hinata Hajime tilted his head, "...Thank you?"

He always felt that this might not be what he was looking for, but seeing the person in front of him looking so interested, he suddenly didn't want to refuse.

His mind was in a mess right now, so it seemed like a good idea to find something to do.

【Fragments of hope.】

"Eh?" Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head suddenly, "Is there anyone who wants to speak?"

Jutsuka Tadara and Kusanagi Izumo looked at him strangely, "No one else."

"But, I seemed to hear..." Hinata Hajime looked at the two people's eyes, and after a moment he sat down, his voice a little low, "I think I heard it wrongly."

However, Hinata Sou felt that he must have heard the sound.

That voice seemed to echo in his mind, with a cold tone. Now that he thought about it, the voice felt... a bit like his own. Moreover, the moment he heard this voice, he seemed to feel a little joy in his heart.

Why?

What on earth had he forgotten?

[What you are looking for is a fragment of hope. ]

Hinata Hajime covered his ears with one hand and raised his head in a daze. The barley-colored wine in front of him reflected his face.

The long black hair hung down casually, but in the moment when Hinata Hajime blinked, the eyes in the reflection suddenly turned red, and the pair of red eyes without any emotion stared at him calmly. Hinata Hajime stood up unconsciously, and the bench was pushed back by his abrupt movement, making a creaking sound.

"What's wrong?" Kusanagi Izumo looked at him, "What did you remember?"

Hinata Hajime looked at Kusanagi Izumo, then he looked at the glass of wine again. It was normal wine, and the surface of the cup reflected his puzzled expression and light green eyes.

“…Nothing.”
