Squatting in the snack shop, Hinata Hajime stared at the cake and straw cake on his plate, his green eyes unfocused.

Jutsu Tadara ran over and patted Hinata Hajime's shoulder, "Good afternoon."

"Oh, good afternoon." Hinata Hajime forced himself to smile, "Jutsu, why are you here?"

"I came here with Izumo to buy something, and I saw you sitting here in a daze." Jutsu Tadara said, "I came back immediately after I helped Izumo put down the things, but I didn't expect you to still be sitting here in a daze when I came back. Can I eat?"

Hinata Sou nodded, "Eat it. I just don't have an appetite."

"I'm surprised that you also have a loss of appetite sometimes. I feel like you're always very optimistic." Jusu Tado put the cake in front of him and pushed the straw cake back. "Isn't this your favorite? Why don't you want to eat it now?"

Hinata Hajime picked up the straw cake and took a bite. "It's still edible."

"So what happened to have you so upset here?"

"Nothing." Hinata Hajime leaned back in his chair, "I just remembered my past."

"That's a good thing."

"But I didn't think about it completely. I only remembered myself before high school." Hinata Hajime murmured, "Yes, only myself before high school, and I was very different from who I am now."

Jutsu Tadoroki nodded, looking like he was listening to a book, "So what kind of person was Hinata when he was a child?"

"I'm probably just an ordinary person." Hinata Hajime pointed at the people walking outside the store. "I'm no different from them. I have good grades but poor relationships with people. I'm a little arrogant and think I'll definitely achieve something. But then the facts told me that I don't have any special abilities. So I became a little inferior and was even laughed at by my classmates."

Juzuka Tadoroki blinked and asked, "What else?"

"No, if I have to say it, it's easy to get upset."

"It's true that the difference is a bit big, but it's not surprising." Jutsuka Tadara sighed, "High school? Actually, I dropped out of high school, and my grades weren't that good. Hatta and Fushimi also dropped out, but Izumo's grades were always good."

"It's okay, it's okay." Jutsu Tadara comforted Hinata Hajime, "Before we got together, we were all ordinary people."

"But as long as there is affection, no one will care whether this person is special or not."

Hinata Sou laughed, "I knew you would say that."

"That's how it is." Jutsu Tadara ate the cake with a smile on his face, "And doesn't Hinata care about these things now? How old was Hinata before high school? At least 5 years have passed since then. 5 years is a long time, everyone will change."

Jutsu Tadoroki ate the cake, "No matter what time it is, Hyuga, I believe you are a good person."

"Really?" Hinata Hajime smiled, "I hope so too."

"Then I have to go. Izumo has to open the store tonight, so I guess I'll be busy."

Hinata Hajime nodded, and when Jutsu Tadara turned to leave, Hinata Hajime suddenly called him.

"Ten bundles."

"Um?"

"What if I'm a bad guy?" Hinata Hajime said, "A very scary, very scary bad guy."

"Impossible." Jutsu Tadara answered firmly, "As long as you are still Hinata Hajime, I believe you will never do anything to hurt others. Even if you really do it, there must be a reason, so don't scare yourself."

Hinata Hajime looked at him, and after a moment he nodded, "Okay, bye."

[Was this a big blow to you?]

[Is this natural? It's hard to accept that someone with amnesia tells you that you are a bad guy who almost destroyed the world.]

[It is difficult to accept, but not unacceptable.]

[If this kind of thing really happened in the past, you have to accept it no matter how hard it is to accept.] Hinata Hajime looked at the street calmly, [This crime sounds terrible, but it's not too terrible. At least, I'm a good person now, right?]

Kamizuru sat on the ground, "I once said something to you, do you remember?"

[The sentence 'No matter what I think of, the unacceptable things are you, not me'? ] Hinata Sou sighed, [So, this is not something unacceptable. When I heard from you that I participated in a strange human experiment, I thought about how bad the ending would be. ]

[What exactly did that so-called surgery do? Can you tell me now? ]

Kamizuru said calmly, "I remember telling you, it's a talent surgery."

[What kind of surgery is required? ]

【all.】

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he remembered the scene he saw when he left Anna's dream.

At that time, Hinata Hajime didn't have a clear view of the developments around him, but he remembered a few key words.

A new personality is created by removing emotions, interests, and memories.

So this is Kamizuru-douryu?

It's not that Hinata Hajime has split personality due to pain or despair, nor is he a friend he has had since childhood, and even less is he a ghost. If Hinata Hajime is an original human, then Kamijou Izuru is a new life created artificially, the spirit and flesh that were peeled off Hinata Hajime.

"Ah, it's meaningless to think about this now." Hinata Hajime stretched lazily, stood up, paid for the snacks, and then turned and walked out of the store. "Anyway, my memory hasn't recovered yet, so I'd better not speculate on interpersonal relationships. It's easy to get slapped in the face."

[…Is your analytical ability just a decoration? ]

"Just let it become a decoration." Hinata Hajime said righteously.

Many times, Kamijou Izuru could not understand Hinata Hajime's thoughts and actions.

He can analyze, he can convert everyone's behavior into data and use it to deduce his next action, but this is a logical deduction, he still doesn't understand emotions, what are emotions? For Kamukura Izuru, emotions are that layer of mist, visible but intangible, but when he withdraws his hand, he can see the water stains on his fingers.

It is these water stains that tell Kamijou Izuru that emotions exist and are not something false.

However, these things that are difficult to grasp for Kamijou Izuru are probably as clear as flowing water to Hinata Sou. He only needs to squat down and scoop up his hands to scoop out a handful of clear water and hold his emotions in his palms at will.

When he was young, he pursued talent, but now he values ​​emotions.

"Speaking of which, Deru, can you come out now?" Hinata Sou asked, "That is, controlling the body and so on. I remember you said before that it was impossible because we were separated. Now I have remembered half of the past. Is there still no way?"

Kamuzuru Izuru looked at him calmly and said, "You can try."

"Hmm?"

"Go home first."

"oh."

Hinata Hajime returned home and sat on a chair. "And then?"

"Close your eyes and feel my presence."

Hinata Hajime closed his eyes, and tried to find another self according to Kamijou Izuru's words, going deep into his spirit and exploring his own soul. He felt and felt, and finally saw a vast expanse of white. Hinata Hajime felt himself putting his hand on it, and the cool touch melted at his fingertips.

Tick-tick, like dewdrops dripping into the lake, Hinata Hajime saw the light exploding in front of him.

The half-broken spiritual space is being reshaped, and they are joyfully welcoming their other half of the owner. The extinguished Mirror Lake is revived again, and the rose in the water is once again revealing its delicate petals.

Hinata Hajime felt his hand being pulled. He opened his eyes and saw a pair of red eyes.

In reality, Hinata Hajime opened his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, his right eye slowly turned red.

[So, Izuku, you have been staying here all the time?] Hinata Hajime stood in front of the Mirror Lake. He looked into the Mirror Lake and saw his own reflection. At this time, Hinata Hajime was a little surprised to find that he had short hair in this spiritual space.

Tilting his head, Hinata Hajime put his hand into the Mirror Lake. The cool water made him frown a little, but Hinata Hajime did not stop. He kept stretching his arm down and finally took out a rose from the Mirror Lake.

"A rose in the water?" Hinata Hajime looked at the rose soaked in water. "What's the meaning of that?"

"It's hidden love." Kamuzuru Izuru answered calmly, "Someone bought the flower but didn't dare to give it to others, so he threw it into the sea."

Hinata Hajime twitched his lips, "Don't tell me that person was me."

"You seem to know yourself very well."

Hinata Hajime: ...

He thought about throwing the rose back in, but at the same time he felt reluctant to do so, as he had taken it out from the lake after enduring the cold water. So Hinata Hajime put the rose aside, stretched his back, and looked at the world around him.

It really seems like a fairy tale.

…

At the HOMRA bar, Tosuke Tatara helped Kusanagi Izumo entertain the guests, and then sat alone at the bar.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Kusanagi Izumo asked while wiping the wine glass.

"I went to see Hinata before, and he asked me a question." Jutsu Tadara said, "He asked me what I would do if he was a bad guy in the past, and he added that he was a very bad guy."

Izumo Kusanagi nodded, "Hinata doesn't have the potential to be a bad guy. Not to mention a really bad guy, I don't think he can even be a small thug."

"That's true. He's too gentle by nature, but..."

"What are you worried about?"

"It's because he is too gentle and mature by nature. He knows himself better than anyone else, so he won't ask this question casually." Jutsu Tadoroki held the wine glass in his hand, "Hinata's lost memory may not be as simple as imagined."

Maybe...it's really like what he said, maybe he is a terrible person.

Kusanagi Izumo thought for a moment and said, "Don't you think this is a little contradictory?"

"Yes?"

"We all believe that Hinata is a very gentle person, but because of his gentleness, we believe his words. He may have been a very scary person before, but there is something wrong. Why would a very scary person become a good person after losing his memory?"

"I thought so too." Jutsu Tadara said with a smile, "If that's really the truth, he should have his reasons, right?"

"Yes." Kusanagi Izumo picked up Anna who was playing nearby and said, "Anna-chan, what kind of person do you think Hinata-nii is?"

Anna tilted her head, and after a moment she spoke, "Hinata-san is very gentle, I like him."

"See, Anna is an outsider who can synchronize. This shows that Hinata is a good person."

"But, there is another brother inside Hinata-brother." Anna suddenly spoke.

Kusanagi Izumo and Jutsuka Tadara were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and then looked at Anna.

"Anna? Is this true?"

"Yeah." Anna nodded. "It wasn't obvious at first, but now it's a little more obvious than before, a red brother."

"Red..." Jutsu Tadashi frowned, "Izumo, do you remember Hinata's eyes? Did it suddenly change from green to red one day? Then Hinata's ability improved. Originally, it could only sense a person's state and emotions, but now it has evolved to the point where it can guess a person's thoughts."

"Is that a problem?"

Jutsu Tadara stroked his chin, "I have always been puzzled by the ability of the Hyuga Outsider. After all, he doesn't look like an Outsider at all. The main reason is that he almost never uses his ability. At first I thought he was not used to it because of amnesia. Now think about it, could it be that he has no special ability at all?"

"…By the way, Hinata just told me that in the memories he has recovered, he was an ordinary person before high school."

"Where does his ability come from?"

"Could it be the red brother that Anna mentioned?"
