It's like they're the same person.

The thought popped up abruptly, and was quickly suppressed. Even if Sukuro believed in his intuition, this time Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but find this inexplicable thought a little funny.

How is it possible? Maybe they just look alike. Maybe

it's because they have a good relationship, so their personalities are similar. Even I was unconsciously influenced by Kasugawa Shugo when I was with him, let alone people who have lived together for such a long time.

Speaking of which... Zero and Jingmitsu disappeared after the camping. Although I can occasionally see Shugo's family, I probably won't see them for ten days or half a month when they have a mission. Every time I send a text message or call, I have to test it before the other party. In most cases, it is not convenient for the other party to answer. In the

end, only myself, Hagiwara, and the squad leader get together regularly.

......Maybe a lot of things happened today, so I thought a lot, which is not the case normally.

A few minutes ago, Jinpei Matsuda suddenly received a text message from Shugo asking about the situation. He guessed that the other party knew about the bombing but it was inconvenient to call. Since his friend asked, he told the other party everything with the mentality of getting more people to punish that bastard.

Even if it was text, it was full of gnashing teeth.

It seems that Kenji Hagiwara was just beaten, and...I haven't done much today.

While thinking, he suddenly felt someone approaching. Matsuda Jinpei stood up a little straighter. The person behind him was holding a pair of sunglasses in his hand and held them in front of him. "Here."

He took the sunglasses from Hagiwara Kenji who had returned to the team. The latter shouted, "I found it on the eighth floor. Fortunately, it was not broken."

Seeing that the sunglasses had been carefully wiped off the dust, he put them on directly, "Thank you. Ida asked if you are free tonight. Today, the brother of that little kid wants to treat us to dinner."

"Hmm?" After hearing what the other party said, Hagiwara Kenji put down his arm that had been on the other party's shoulder and asked in confusion, "For such things, Jinpei-chan would have directly refused before, right?"

This kind of invitation is received almost every time after a mission, but Jinpei Matsuda has always denied it. Today he asked this question, are you going? Jinpei Matsuda

responded and picked out some important contents of the conversation with Date Kou. Hagiwara Kenji's eyes widened instantly, "Huh? Is it that one?!"

"You really are..." Why do you use the tone of a gossipy little girl as if she has discovered her friend's ambiguous object, Jinpei Matsuda said speechlessly.

"You must be free, and that kid... His name is Asuka Kirito," Hagiwara Kenji mentioned this name, and the first thing he thought of was the pair of clear, bright eyes with a childlike look when he looked at him, and his expression softened a little, "I quite like him."

"Then I'll write back to the class leader."

With his flexible fingers tapping quickly, Matsuda Jinpei sent the message without even looking down at the screen. He noticed his friend's relaxed expression, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't say anything else.

Let you be happy for a few days, and wait for Shuugo's guy to come back...

He thought with a sense of schadenfreude.

On the other side, after getting the doctor's conclusion that "it's nothing", Tsukiyama Asari walked out of the hospital with Asuka Kiri wrapped around her head. She also cooperated with the police to complete some of the next tasks, and finally walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department three hours before dinner. She had asked

Squad Leader Ida to help convey her previous invitation, and she received a positive response. The next thing to do was to prepare dinner. She

went to the supermarket and bought a large amount of pork and chicken, as well as various vegetables and seafood, and a small box of canned beer. Tsukiyama Asari chatted with the system in a casual manner, carrying large and small bags and rushing home.

[Too much was bought.]

'Not much, the three of them have big appetites, and they have been busy all day today, and I guess they didn't even have time for lunch.'

[Okay... How's A Miao? ]

'...It seems that the problem is a bit big.'

Tsukiyama Asari frowned when he heard that, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared, and he frowned slightly. In fact, Yutani Mia's negative emotions have always existed, but she never paid attention to it every time. She didn't expect that after a little bit of accumulation, it would become like this after being crushed by the last straw.

The building, which already had an unstable foundation, continued to accumulate upwards, and finally achieved today's irreversible collapse.

[...Have you been affected?]

The system's concerns are not groundless. To put it bluntly, under those bodies are the souls of Tsukiyama Asari. A vest has some problems beyond the physical level, which is more or less related to the main body.

'Ah... not really. Although the mood is a bit bad, it's not that serious. Ah Miao is in this state now and is also affected by the emotions of the vest itself, so it's so serious.'

Thinking of this problem, Yueshan Chaori had a headache. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and press his temples. Because of something that happened before, he had a migraine problem, but it was not that serious.

He raised his hand a little before he remembered that he was carrying a bag, so he had to give up.

'Actually, sometimes I'm quite curious. Why did you choose me? '

Tsukiyama Asari has always had this question. He was the one who ranked last in both the written test and the interview among the first batch of "employees" to be selected. At that time, there were not many systems, so it can be said that there were too many people and too little resources. Therefore, the system was allowed to make the selection based on data calculations.

No matter how you look at it, he would not be chosen. Moreover, if other colleagues were to handle today's matter, they would definitely solve it well, and other aliases would not have to come all the way to help and be directly stimulated to have psychological problems.

[I like you, didn't I say that before? ]

What? It's still the same answer.

In fact, Tsukiyama Asari asked this question before he retired. At that time, he thought he was saying goodbye, so he asked it, and the system's answer was "I just like you."

Coupled with the atmosphere of farewell at that time, this sentence and tone pretended to be very profound, just like the chivalrous knight in the martial arts movie who waved goodbye and never looked back. Even though they knew that it was a farewell forever, they still believed that the mountains and rivers would never change.

As a result, they met again just after the pretending, causing the system to be so angry that it didn't speak for several days.

But what kind of perfunctory reason is it to like him? !

'Don't you regret it? Fortunately, your system doesn't have any colleagues' gatherings, otherwise...'

The system also has its own points system, which is basically linked to the performance of the employees it is bound to. Tsukiyama Asari is not as powerful as other employees, and the worlds he can deal with are all of low levels. The system also doesn't let him try dangerous worlds. One person and one system, he runs around every day to places where basketball rules the world or cooking rules the world, so naturally he doesn't get many points.

The systems of other hosts are earning points and have already started using simulation bodies, but my system is still stammering.

The current world is the one I chose for retirement. Compared with the previous one, the danger level is probably the highest. Various murders are everywhere. The evil forces dare to blow up cars, buildings and power towers directly. Especially in Japan, even the top leaders of the country have infiltrated a few organizations.

I didn't expect that because I had never experienced such a thing, people were killed one by one, and negative emotions continued to accumulate, which forced a vest to collapse.

[Don't worry, no matter how bad the child is, he is good in the eyes of his parents. ]

'...You'd better shut up! '

Tsukiyama Asari couldn't help but laugh and curse. All the little emotions just now disappeared because of the system's answer that took advantage of him. He hurried back home, froze the beer in the refrigerator, and took all the ingredients to the kitchen to prepare.

'Help me look up the recipe. '

[Got it——How many dishes do you plan to make? ]

'Anyway, there must be rice and soup. I chose clam miso soup. The main course is salt-grilled saury, chicken meatballs, ginger-grilled pork, and deep-fried tofu with broth and komatsuna. Hmm... let's have some tempura. Since the oil is hot, coat the remaining vegetables with flour and make fried assorted dishes. There are also broth-based chicken omelets and chawanmushi. '

[......]

'What's wrong? '

[......It's just a strange sense of déjà vu. 】

Tsukiyama Asari paused, subconsciously feeling that the other party had nothing good to say.

As expected——

【That’s right, when you saw the three of them coming in, Xiao Wu went to the door to greet them, and you were wearing an apron and carrying dishes out of the kitchen, doesn’t it look a lot like...】

'Shut up!' I knew this system couldn’t produce ivory from its dog’s mouth.

【Oh...】

The system quickly finished its words and went to look up the recipe.

Every system has its own strengths, and the search component of System 003 is the most complete of the systems, and it can easily complete both searching for data and invading devices.

But since being bound to Tsukiyama Asari, the most common thing he does is to look up recipes, which is really a waste of talent in comparison.

003 didn't care. He quickly retrieved the recipes that were most popular in terms of both cooking methods and taste through data analysis and displayed them on the data panel.

The first dish was salt-grilled saury. The young man lowered his head and carefully handled the frozen fish in his hands. He had a peaceful temperament when he was doing things seriously, as if just looking at him would make you feel comfortable.

I just like you... Actually, it's not a lie. The system's memory is very good. Everything that happened will be copied and classified. If you want to review it, you only need to call up the data and you can see all the details, but it doesn't want to do it now.

The system is very good at selecting "employees". Tsukiyama Asari's appearance is outstanding, but among that group of employees, she is just an ordinary person, with no sharp features.

But that temperament... He does have a unique sense of gentleness. His acting skills were not good at that time, and he couldn't hide the gentleness in his eyes. It's not like now that he can play all three vests to perfection.

The most proud investigation department kept operating and analyzing, refuting the idea of ​​"selecting Tsukiyama Asari" from all angles, but it seemed that something broke out from the gaps in the data. According to the order, the system named 003 since its birth violated its nature for the first time and reached out to the boy with clear eyes without hesitation.

In fact, he has almost accumulated points now, and it is not a problem to buy a simulation body. But if that's the case, there will not be many points left. What if Asari has something wrong, he can't help.

Forget it, this matter cannot be told to the court, otherwise that guy will be very proud.
