When Hinata Sou woke up, warm sunlight was shining on him. He crawled out from the warm quilt and looked around in a daze.

"Huh?" Hinata Hajime looked down at his clothes. He had only taken off his coat and shoes. After lying down all night, his clothes were wrinkled and looked ugly.

"What happened?" Hinata Hajime pressed his temple, "How come I fell asleep with my clothes on?"

Not only was he wearing clothes, he didn't even draw the bedroom curtains. Hungry birds were chirping in the living room. Hinata Hajime got out of bed in a daze and opened the door. The sparrows flew over to him, flapping their wings and asking him for food. They grabbed a handful of millet and put it on the windowsill. Hinata Hajime walked to the bathroom and splashed a handful of cool water on his face. He shuddered and finally woke up.

So, was I drunk yesterday?

[…You are not that stupid to realize this.]

[But I only drank a little. I only drank half of that glass.] Hinata Hajime didn't understand and fell into deep thought, [Although I have never drunk alcohol, is my alcohol tolerance really that bad?]

【Yes.】 Kamukura Izuru answered briefly and to the point.

Hinata Hajime twitched his lips, splashed cold water on his face, quickly finished washing, then went back to the bedroom to change his wrinkled clothes. When he was finally done, he went to the living room, poured himself a glass of warm water, sat on the sofa and took a long breath.

"I didn't expect to get so drunk. I don't know if I caused any trouble to anyone yesterday."

"No."

"Huh? Nanami?" Hinata Hajime was startled and the cup of water in his hand almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly grabbed the cup and then looked at the computer next to the table. Nanami was sitting there playing games. It seemed that she was on the microphone with someone. She didn't even raise her head.

She said, "Hinata-kun was very well behaved even when he was drunk. He fell asleep as soon as he got home."

“I came back alone?”

"No, it was Conan from next door who brought you back. He just followed you. Although he was drunk, Hinata-kun can still walk on his own."

Hinata Hajime scratched his hair, "Really? I have no memory of it at all."

At this moment, Hinata Hajime heard a voice coming from the computer.

"What?! It's a man's voice. Nanami-chan, are you living with a man?"

"No, Nanami-chan!"

Hinata Hajime moved closer to Nanami with some curiosity, "Nanami, what are you doing?"

"Playing games." Nanami Chiaki didn't seem to care what the other party was shouting, and just smiled and said, "I found a particularly fun game, but it requires teaming up with others, so I went to the world to call someone, and now I'm fighting the boss online. Do you want to play with me, Hinata-kun?"

"What?! Nanami-chan, are you going to abandon me and team up with that man?" the other side wailed.

Hinata Hajime twitched his lips, "No, I don't want it anymore. You can play with him."

"Damn it! This is charity!"

"No, Nanami, I think there's something wrong with the guy you were chatting with online." Hinata Sou said, "From his tone, does he sound like the kind of weird uncle who specializes in bullying girls on the Internet?"

"It's just a game." Nanami Chiaki smiled, "It's okay, I'll delete you as a friend after I finish the game."

"That's good." Hinata Hajime felt relieved.

The other party continued to wail, "Nanami-chan! Don't abandon me!"

No longer paying attention to Nanami Chiaki, Hinata Hajime finished the warm water in the cup and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. At this moment, Hinata Hajime heard the doorbell, put down the ingredients in his hand, and opened the door with water in his hand.

Outside the door, Edogawa Conan put his hands in his cotton coat and looked at Hinata Hajime, "Are you awake?"

"Conan?"

"Come and see if you're sober." Conan Edogawa said helplessly, "You're a policeman, but you were persuaded to drink and you got drunk like that."

Hinata Hajime: ...

"How drunk am I?"

"You don't remember?"

Hinata Hajime brought Edogawa Conan into the room. The computer had been turned off long time ago, and Nanami Chiaki had gone somewhere to continue playing games.

"I really don't have any impression." Hinata Hajime picked up the cup he had just drunk water from, found another cup and poured him a cup of warm water.

"You were probably just talking to yourself, and then you kept asking me if I wanted to skateboard. You also said that you had skated before, and that it was a very difficult place, and sometimes it took several times to skate to the right path. I really don't know what you were talking about." Edogawa Conan recalled, and then he nodded, "It's better for you not to drink in the future."

"That will definitely be the last time." Hinata Sou promised, "It's really scary to have no idea what you've done."

Conan Edogawa breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm relieved that you're okay. Goodbye then."

"Eh? Are you leaving so soon?"

"My sister Xiaolan and I are going to Hawaii." Conan Edogawa said, "The Thief Kid sent out another notice, and the location is right there. Although I don't know why, they sent an invitation letter to Uncle Maori. It just so happens that my sister Xiaolan and I are both on vacation, so we are going together."

"Is that so?" Hinata Sou nodded, "Then I hope you don't pick up a corpse."

Edogawa Conan twitched his lips.

"You haven't given up on my destiny of bringing bad luck to me yet."

"It's mainly very troublesome. Once there's a murder case, you can't even have fun. Not only do you have to solve the case, but you also have to go to the police station to take a statement. A whole day is spent like this." Hinata Hajime sighed, "So, I hope you don't encounter any murders, just have fun."

Edogawa Conan shrugged, but with a slight smile on his face.

"Then see you on New Year's Eve."

"Yeah, okay."

After sending Edogawa Conan out, Hinata Hajime returned to the sofa. He leaned back on the sofa, but after a moment he felt uncomfortable and lay down again. The ingredients in the kitchen were still on the chopping board, and he didn't want to go over to continue making breakfast.

It seemed that the effect of being drunk had finally set in. He felt a little weak and sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.

It's very unhealthy to fall asleep at this time, Hinata Hajime. If you continue to sleep, Kamijou Izuru will come out and teach you a lesson for not taking your body seriously.

Thinking of this, Hinata Hajime tried hard to open his eyes.

"So, what happened yesterday? My memory only goes back to when Mr. Maori and I drank together." Hinata Sou started the conversation, "Did you have an affair? You were there at that time, right?"

[I'm here.] Kamizuru said, [Do you want to know what happened yesterday?]

【Of course.】

[You are me, I am you, we are connected, and what I see you can also see.] Kamukura Izuru said: [If you want to know, just look at my memory.]

Hinata Hajime lay on the sofa with a frown on his face. [Why do I feel like you are looking forward to this a little more than usual? You didn't even say you were bored.]

【Boring.】

[Don't add it at this time. It will make you look even more suspicious.]

Kamiya Izuru calmly asked, "Have you completely forgotten about the harassment you caused me yesterday?"

[Huh?] Hinata Hajime sat up suddenly, [Harassment? Did I harass you yesterday?]

【See, I totally forgot about it. 】

Hinata Hajime lay down again with a look of doubt and surprise. He thought for a long time whether he should look at this memory to confirm what happened yesterday.

Maybe Hinata Hajime actually noticed something.

Those emotions that were completely suppressed without reason after being drunk, those things that were unwilling to be released when sober, were most likely to be released when not sober. He had some small conflicts and was not sure whether to let the matter go in a muddle, or to watch it openly and make it clear.

But what can we do even if we make it clear?

It is the same in the end, nothing will change.

They are still who they are and can't make any more changes.

Thinking of this, Hinata Hajime closed his eyes in despair and began to search for things that he did not remember from Kamukura Izuru's memory last night.

So he saw himself talking to Conan about skateboarding after getting drunk, and talking to Kamukura Izuru on the road. Conan looked at him talking to himself with more and more strange eyes. After finally returning home, he was still not honest while lying on the bed, and had to talk nonsense to Kamukura Izuru.

About the past, about companions, about myself...

Help, this is too shameful.

But, this is not harassment.

Hinata Hajime complained in his heart, and then he really saw the so-called "harassment".

"Izuru, I really... like you so much."

These words exploded in Hinata Hajime's mind like a bomb. He could clearly feel that Kamijou Izuru was also stunned by these words, with his hand frozen in the air. Hinata Hajime opened his eyes and almost fell off the sofa. He was in an indescribable panic.

This is what I said? This is what I said?!

[Calm down.] Kamukura Izuru actually had the energy to comfort him at this time. [You are so nervous, it's worthy of being a preparatory subject.]

[Don't say such things that make me unhappy. Besides, how can I stay calm?] Hinata Hajime stood in the living room and kept looking around, trying to find a hole in the ground that he could crawl into.

God, please save him! He felt like he was about to be burned to death by the flames even though he didn't have a fever.

Hinata Hajime even began to be thankful that Nanami Chiaki was now playing the game and not here.

Otherwise, Nanami Chiaki would have seen Hinata Hajime pacing in the living room, anxious for some unknown reason.

[Deru, you know I was drunk at that time and could say anything, right? ]

[Your thinking is not distorted by alcohol, and you can think clearly even when you are drunk.]

Hinata Sou lowered his head. He was suddenly no longer nervous and didn't even want to continue arguing.

He stood quietly in the living room, and after a moment he seemed to remember and sat back on the sofa. The air was full of stiffness and awkwardness. Hinata Hajime stopped talking, and Kamijou Izuru didn't try to let him continue, nor was he willing to change the subject.

Now, this seems to be an obvious problem that will make it impossible to move forward if it is not solved.

"Izuru." Hinata Sou spoke, his voice was very soft, he said: "There is no future for us together."

This is the reason why Hinata Hajime has been pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth.

Because they have no future.

They are one person, with the same body, the same appearance and even the same body temperature. They cannot face each other, and cannot even give each other a normal hug like normal people. The only place they can communicate is in their minds, that spiritual space they imagine.

In the eyes of his companions, they are the same person, and he can't even introduce his relationship with Kamukura Izuru to his companions.

In the end, I can only say: That was me.

"What exactly is the future?" Kamukura Izuru asked a rare question. "I have seen countless futures, and every future line is unfolding before my eyes. Hinata Hajime, what kind of future do you want?"

"I want a future where no one gets hurt." Hinata Hajime said softly, "Whether it's Nanami or everyone else, everyone can live in their own way and get what they want, even Deru."

"What about you?" Kamizuru asked, "Where do you put yourself?"

Hinata Sou closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the sofa, as if trying to avoid this question.

“Don’t run away.”

"Rather than running away, I just want to put this matter aside for now." Hinata Hajime opened his eyes, "I will not run away from our future."

"But, Deflow."

Hinata Hajime silently covered his eyes with his hands, "Is it weird that you like me? Is this considered narcissism?"

“Not really.”

"ha?"

"I also have the talent to be liked by others."

"…So you are the narcissistic one."
