"Salmon roe." Hearing Gojo Satoru's question, Ji nodded, and the tuft of alopecia on his head rose and fell with his movements, making him look particularly lively.

It was the day before yesterday that he regained his memory.

——

Ji actually didn't forget at first. He remembered clearly when he was replaced.

At that time, he had just been on a business trip to a suburb far from Tokyo to exorcise a cursed spirit, and happened to come across a shop that made particularly delicious rice balls.

As an ultimate rice ball lover, when he went to buy some, he found that they were out of stock. So he decided to stay one more day and stayed there until the next day.

The next day, he got the rice balls as he wished, and he also got a long-term assignment from the assistant supervisor, which happened to be nearby.

So he stayed there for about a month, until he had tried every rice ball in the store and even established a good relationship with the owner of the store.

On the day I left, I returned to the technical college with rice balls kindly sent by four or five bosses. I felt particularly good.

But it only lasted until the second before returning to the technical high school.

Because the next second he saw his friends coming out with a young man he didn't know but who had his face.

Ji raised a question mark.

He walked over and wanted to raise his hand to say hello as usual, and then ask who the person was.

But he never expected that his friends would pass by him without even looking at him.

Ji blinked, "Salmon?"

They seemed not to have heard what he said and left talking and laughing.

Only then did Ji realize that something was wrong.

His friends...seem not to be able to see him?

Ji was a little confused. His good mood after buying his favorite rice balls disappeared in an instant.

He ran over there with the rice ball in his hand, then stopped in front of them and said righteously: "Salmon roe!"

A few people walked past him - actually it looked more like they just naturally crossed the road, but Thor always felt that this description was more accurate.

And it was obvious that they couldn't see him.

After that day, Ji began to try to make his friends see himself in various ways.

This includes but is not limited to showing up when they wake up in the morning, interrupting them while they are chatting, and so on.

But without exception, none of his friends saw him.

Could it be that the person who looked exactly like him was looking at him with increasingly strange eyes?

Ji thought for two seconds.

Is he considered a pervert?

But he soon realized that he was not considered a pervert and was about to be replaced.

spine:……

More than ten days passed like this, and just when Ji was about to give up, he received a note from the young man who looked exactly like him.

"Let's go to the place at 9 o'clock tonight and have a good talk."

Ji thought for a moment, tore the note into pieces and threw it into the trash can, then bought a dagger.

Yes, it seemed that everyone except those he had known before could see him.

Thorn put the dagger on his waist and arrived at the place mentioned in the note on time at nine o'clock.

There, a young man who looked exactly like him was already standing there waiting.

Seeing him coming, the young man curled his lips and raised his hand to greet him, "Kelp."

Ji blinked and raised his hand to greet him: "Kelp?"

The somewhat bizarre opening ended, and without any warning, the young man rushed towards him.

As expected.

Ji thought of it.

As soon as he saw the young man, he had already thought of the worst possible scenario.
