It’s simply the sound of nature: the word “也” is used very cleverly.

Barus: My goodness, is the style of the painting suddenly changing into a ghost story? Could this kind of world view include plots where wronged ghosts seek revenge?

President of Meili's Fan Club: Well, it's hard to say. After all, in Kamen Rider's worldview, things like souls do exist, and there are even Kamen Riders like Ritsuka who can test their souls.

Super High School Level Detective: No, I think that judging from the current plot development of "Faiz", although this world has seen phenomena like resurrection from the dead, which seem somewhat mysterious, the actual main tone is still more inclined towards the power system of the technological side, and it doesn't feel like there will be any soul-related settings suddenly.

Super High School Level Detective: I should be the family member of that ex-girlfriend.

[Sure enough, just as Kirikiri Kyoko guessed, as the call was connected, the camera shifted to the other end of the phone as Chen Shi picked up the phone.

At the entrance of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a young woman with her long golden orange hair tied into a sky-high braid slowly walked out of the police station, escorted by a blue-haired police officer.

After saying goodbye to the police officer, there was a gloom on her pretty face, but at the same time there was a hint of determination that she was unwilling to give up. However, this thought suddenly turned into joy after she saw Chen Shi's call was connected.

"That's great, Mr. Chen, I knew you would still be willing to contact us!"

The woman spoke with a very authentic Kansai accent, and her refreshing voice made people feel like a spring breeze. Even through the phone, Chen Shi could feel the other person's excitement.

However, the happier the other party was, the more mixed feelings Chen Shi felt when he recalled his ex-girlfriend through her.

The shadow cast from his bangs blocked Chen Shi's eyes, and even Nishimiya Naoko and Kawaharaki Momoka beside him noticed something was wrong.

Nishimiya Naoko wanted to go forward to show concern, but she saw Chen Shi shaking his head, indicating that there was no need to worry about her.

Chen Shi naturally knew the identity of the woman who called.

She is Naganohara Yomiya, the cousin of his ex-girlfriend Naganohara Asuka. He had met her several times when he was still dating Asuka.

At that time, the impression Xiao Gong left on him was that she was an extremely cheerful and lively woman, and she loved her cousin Asuka very much. Overall, this was in line with Chen Shi's stereotype of Chiba people.

Well, although because of family reasons, the other party is actually half Kansai, and usually lives in Kansai.

As for why Naganohara Xiaomiya called him, Chen Shi naturally guessed most of it at once.

After all, the only connection between him and the other party was Asuka Naganohara, the girl he killed because of his impulsive thought.

Chen Shi knew that the sins he had committed would one day come back to haunt him, and he thought he was ready to face them. But when they really came before him, Chen Shi's heart inevitably fell into entanglement and confusion.

He stared blankly at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

However, Naganohara Xiaogong, who could not see his expression at the moment, had no idea what he was thinking. Through her past understanding and observation of Chen Shi, Chen Shi, who used to be a model couple with her sister, was undoubtedly her companion on this trip to Tokyo.

As long as she has the help of this local person, it is very likely that she will be able to change the current situation of her investigation where she is encountering obstacles everywhere.

Therefore, she had no reservations about Chen Shi and excitedly told him the purpose of the call.

"Mr. Chen, actually, the reason I came to you this time is to talk about Asuka. I want your help no matter what. Can we spare some time to meet in the next few days?"

Almost the next moment after Naganohara Xiaomiya asked the question, words of refusal had already come to Chen Shi's throat, but hearing the other party's anxious and tired tone, the man finally agreed for some unknown reason.

"Then... let's go tomorrow. I'll come find you."]

Summer Festival Queen: Oh, when I saw that Xiao Ma Ge's girlfriend's last name was Naganohara, I felt a little familiar with her. I didn't expect that I in this world actually had a relationship with that girl. Oh, what a pity, it's really fate. Originally, I could have become a family with Xiao Ma Ge in the parallel world, but now we have become enemies.

Everyone: Hahaha, yes. Although I do not agree with Miss Asuka's behavior at that time, it is not a crime punishable by death. I can only say that the mental instability of Orphino when he just awakened was indeed too scary.

The originator of tsundere: I am so angry, why is this person called Asuka? It really brings shame to Asuka in our entire universe.

Death God Elementary School Student: Looking for helpers directly on the murderer feels a bit like a joke from hell.

Infinite Snake: Humph, what an indecisive guy. At this time, it is obviously the best choice not to get involved with this Naganohara Xiaogong, but because of that boring compassion, I didn't choose to make a decisive decision. In the end, it just made everyone more miserable. Although Chen Shi in this world is very kind, he is indeed not as good as Qu Wen Jiedou in some aspects.

Miss Pink Fairy: Oh, I didn't expect you, Mebius, to think so highly of Kaito. I thought you would hate to kill another you.

Infinite Snake: If you think that I will lose the ability to look at others objectively because of my own failure, then you underestimate me.

Super High School Level Despair: Hehe, I smell the delicious scent of a knife again~ I’m really looking forward to Xiao Gong’s reaction when he knows the truth.

[Chen Shi and Naganohara Aoi are discussing where to meet tomorrow. Their serious yet somewhat sad expressions make Nishimiya Naoko feel uncomfortable.

Nishimiya Glass was not completely unaware of the existence of Asuka Naganohara.

When he first took her in, Chen Shi wanted to bring the two of them closer together and prove that they were of the same kind, and he also shared with her the crimes he had committed.

Kill relatives and angrily murder former lovers.

Even though everything he did had its reasons, Chen Shi still believed that these were unforgivable sins he had committed, and he has not yet come out of the shadows. He even said that his current good-guy style of doing things was not only due to his personality, but also because he was definitely trying to atone for this sin.

Therefore, in the eyes of Nishimiya Naoko, meeting her cousin Xiao Gong was an inner torment for him.

She really wanted to do something for Chen Shi, but the fact was, she didn't even have her own affairs fully figured out, let alone interfere in Chen Shi's affairs.

Just as she was daydreaming, someone rang the doorbell of Chen Shi's house.

……

On the other side, the seemingly injured Hayato Hayama returned to Yuigahama Laundry with the help of two girls.

Because they didn't know Hayama Hayato's true character and his acting skills were so superb, the two girls were really a little angry about Hikigaya Hachiman's behavior at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Hayama-san, it was Hikigaya who went too far this time."

Yukinoshita Yukino was bandaging Hayama Hayato with a frosty face. Even Yuigahama Yui, who always stood by Hikigaya Hachiman, couldn't help but show a worried look.

"Xiao Qi has been acting weirder and weirder. What happened to him? Why doesn't he want to tell us?"

--why?

Looking at the wrist that was gradually wrapped in bandages, Hayato Hayama narrowed his green eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.

By thinking about what Hikigaya Hachiman had said to him, he roughly guessed what the other party was thinking. However, even if he knew it, Hayato Hayama had no intention of explaining it clearly to others.

The current situation is exactly what he wants to see.

For this reason, let alone explaining it clearly, he would even add fuel to the chaotic scene here.

"Could it be that?"

With a thoughtful look on his face, Hayato Hayama's soft whispers naturally could not escape the ears of the two girls in the already quiet room.

They all looked over here, and their attention was completely attracted by the blond young man who seemed to hold some key information.

However, what made their blood pressure soar was that Hayato Hayama quickly shook his head after "noticing" the two people's gazes.

"No, nothing. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui felt their fists stiffen. They experienced firsthand how Batman felt when he saw the Riddler.

"Hayama-san, if you have anything to say, please speak clearly. It's enough for a weird guy to have dead fish eyes."

Yukinoshita Yukino said sternly, without any awareness that she was also a weird guy.

Hayato Hayama gave a wry smile and could only "reluctantly" express his guess.

"Not long ago, Hikigaya-kun told me that he felt that he and I were definitely not compatible, and he seemed to hate me."

"Are you saying that Hikigaya hit you because he hated you?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned. She was not a dull person. She had naturally noticed that Hikigaya Hachiman had obviously shown dislike for Hayama Hayato in the past few days.

only……

"Even if Xiaoqi doesn't like Mr. Yeshan very much, he is not the kind of person who would..."

Yuigahama Yui hurriedly wanted to prove something for Hikigaya Hachiman on behalf of Yukinoshita Yukino, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Hayama Hayato who understood the situation.

"Well, I also believe in Hikigaya-kun. He is the senior who has always stood up to fight against Ophio. I think he will definitely not attack me for such a childish reason, so I didn't want to say it just now."

Hayato Hayama smiled. He didn't need the two to believe his one-sided words all at once. Now he just needed to plant this seed in their hearts.

"Hikigaya-kun must have had some other reason for doing that. Time will solve everything. You don't need to take it too seriously. I don't care about this little injury at all."

"But this..."

At this moment, Hayato Hayama looked exactly like his real self, even more perfect and kind. The two girls were moved by Hayato Hayama's magnanimity, and they looked at his injured hand, unable to speak.

Seeing that they finally trusted his character completely, Hayato Hayama's originally gentle smile quietly changed, and his narrowed eyes showed a hint of joy and pleasure. 】

Who will play Hanabi? :Hehe, they believed it! They believed it!

Science Thumbelina: Horrible, he is such a liar.

Asuna: Yes, if it weren't for the close-up of the expression at the end, I would have believed that the other person really believed in Hikigaya-san.

Star Cluster Cannon: This is what Coco said about internal and external troubles. I feel confused because of the existence of Good Ophino. In the team, I am bullied by Mr. Hayama's acting skills, and I can't beat Lucky Clover at all. I feel that Mr. Hikigaya has a hard time.

White Tyrant: Alas, the world of Kamen Rider is so cruel. Why can't those enemies understand each other and become friends after a fight?

Kaneki's Pain: The barriers between races can't be overcome so easily.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Teacher: Where is the new form? Where is the new form? Help! Where is the unknown watch I used in the side story?

Nayako: I will kill you all when I get the new equipment, Jpg.

【"Who are you!?"

The perspective returned to the door of Chen Shi's house. Seeing the dead-eyed young man who suddenly visited her, Nishimiya Naoko, who ran to open the door, was slightly startled and subconsciously wanted to close the door and hide.

Fortunately, Hikigaya Hachiman noticed this and acted faster. He immediately stretched out a foot and inserted it into the gap of the door that was not yet completely closed. While grimacing in pain from the powerful blow from Nishimiya Naoko, he raised the clothes wrapped in a dust bag in his hand.

"Ahem, I'm actually an employee of Yuigahama Laundry. I'm here to deliver your washed clothes."

Forcefully forcing a smile that wasn't too ugly, Chen Shi, who had come to deliver the clothes without telling Yuigahama Yui, looked at Nishimiya Naoko's somewhat evasive eyes.

"Also, I want to have a good talk with you."

That serious look made Nishimiya Naoko slightly stunned. She did not see a trace of fear and rejection in those deep eyes as she thought there should be. Instead, there was a light of thinking about the future.

This glow looks very familiar.

Occasionally, she would see something similar in Chen Shi's eyes.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Nishimiya Naoko finally nodded. She suddenly became interested in this human who was not afraid of her identity as Orphino.

After she put away the clothes she had taken from the other party, the two walked out of the house and came to the courtyard. Looking at the silent back of Hikigaya Hachiman, it was Nishimiya Glass who couldn't help but ask first.

"Aren't you afraid of staying with me? I'll turn into a monster."

"I don't feel anything. Think about it carefully. Even if you are not human, you don't have any intention of harming me, otherwise you wouldn't have deliberately saved me at that time."

Hikigaya Hachiman's tone was sincere. Now that the other party had opened up, he put aside the last of his concerns.

"But there is one thing I want to know anyway."

He turned around and looked at her with curiosity, just like Nishimiya Naoko.

"Why do you want to help humans? What exactly are humans to you, now that you have become Ophio?"
