Chapter 256 On the Importance of Sakurai Izumi

"So, are you planning to change sides?"

"Not yet. It's actually very easy to change into the black side, but it's very difficult to change back to the red side. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I will stick to my current personality."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Get well and take care of the aftermath of the explosion first."

"That's true. Things got so serious in the end, but the most crucial person, Pramiya, never showed up. This person will be a huge potential threat."

"Oh, who said it wasn't? It gives me a headache just thinking about it. Who the hell is this guy? And who is that Russian-speaking woman? Ahhhh, it's so annoying!"

It was already the fifth day that Koizumi had been recuperating in the villa. She had finally figured out the details of this "new" system.

Because the environment of the villa was very safe, Koizumi was confidently placing this body shell on a lounge chair in the yard to bask in the sun, but his consciousness entered the system space to chat with Sakurai Izumi.

After Koizumi's explanation, Sakurai Izumi finally understood his current situation.

"I don't remember how I got the ability to sense danger, but it's just like what you said. I can sense the threat posed by certain people or things. However, some threats can be detected but cannot be resolved at all."

Sakurai Izumi smiled bitterly and said, "Just like when I was called by the contact at the police academy, I knew something was going to happen."

"So you were really desperate and wanted to die at that time, you were not joking with me?"

"not kidding."

"…Are you serious about wanting to kill the contact?"

"Ah."

Koizumi stared at her in amazement for a long while, then patted his chest and said, "I came just in time, it was almost impossible to end this. Oh, yes, I want to ask you, what happened to the injury on your wrist? Do you still remember it?"

Koizumi pointed to the deep scratches on his right wrist, which looked like a self-inflicted wound.

Izumi Sakurai: "I got this when I was injured while working part-time."

"Really?"

"Really... maybe?"

It must not be true. It turns out that your memory of this life is also damaged and confused.

Koizumi frowned: "Then do you still remember that you went to get gin? Was that also because you wanted to commit suicide?"

Sakurai Izumi showed an embarrassed expression on her face: "No. Although I think Gin is dangerous, I have never felt a death threat from him."

She looked at Koizumi with a strange expression: "Seriously, regarding Gin... I still have to keep my own opinion. His attitude towards you is really different. I think if you want, there is still a chance."

"Forget it, I don't want this opportunity!"

Koizumi interrupted her hastily: "You already know my situation. I don't plan to establish any close relationship with anyone in my life. What's more..."

She sighed, "You are the only one in this world that I can speak the truth to. To be honest, I'm lucky to have you here, otherwise I really feel like my spirit is about to collapse. Oh, it's really great to have a place where I can speak with peace of mind."

Sakurai Izumi stroked the little black cat in his arms that was summoned by Koizumi, lowered his head and remained silent.

Koizumi sensed her emotions and chuckled, "Don't worry, I will keep my promise. Regardless of whether I can succeed in this life, you just need to stay with me until the moment this body truly dies. I won't force you to continue to be reborn."

Sakurai Izumi nodded silently: "...I'm sorry."

"No, there's nothing to be sorry about. Look, I've been able to develop to this point without full system authority. Isn't that amazing? Give me some confidence. I think I still have a chance to solve the problem once and for all."

Sakurai Izumi smiled and said, "Then do your best."

"No, let's cheer together."

Koizumi looked up at the shotgun and white mask floating above the cabin and sighed, "Not only the emotional anchor, there are many other places where I need your help."

Sakurai Izumi looked up following her gaze: "Well, let's work together. I never thought that this small room I'm staying in is also a storage space."

Koizumi shook his finger at her: "No, to be precise, including the area outside this room, it's all storage space for this system. Theoretically, there is endless storage space here."

"Ah?" Sakurai Izumi widened his eyes in surprise.

Koizumi continued to explain, "I just asked the system about this. The 15-grid space I opened with the singularity should be called a backpack to be exact, and this space is similar to a bank warehouse. As the master personality, I can store anything here, no matter how much I want.

"For example, I have a sports car stored in the warehouse, but if it is not in my backpack, I cannot use it whenever I want. I have to come back here and put the car in my backpack before I can take it out. Do you understand what I mean?"

Sakurai Izumi suddenly pointed at herself and exclaimed: "Well, if I help you adjust the items in your backpack..."

"That's right!" Koizumi clapped his hands, "I don't even need to come in and adjust it myself. It's like I have an unlimited backpack! This is also a very important job for you in the future. You have to prepare the right tools for me according to the situation I encounter!

"If we had this ability when dealing with Matsuura Shun a few days ago, why would we have to defuse the bombs? I would have put them all into the space and solved the problem in seconds! I told him to blow it up! He would have nothing to blow up!"

Seeing Sakurai Izumi's stunned expression, Koizumi laughed and said, "You understand, this is a great strategic ability!"

She took a breath and continued, "However, when we are in control of the body, we can only rely on notes for simple communication. There is no good solution for this for the time being. So when we encounter an emergency and cannot communicate in time, we can only rely on our tacit understanding. If you can't prepare the right tools or weapons for me in time... Hehe, now you understand your importance, right?"

"Oh my God……"

Sakurai Izumi said with a strange expression: "...This system is indeed your real father. Why is it that when I was the main personality, it was like that, but when you took over, even the style of painting changed."

"Ah ha ha."

Koizumi patted Sakurai Izumi's shoulder and laughed loudly: "It's okay, I've got your sister to protect you, it's the same as before!"

"How come you are the elder sister? I was here first."

"I am mentally older than you!"

"I've lived longer than you!"

"How dare you count the time of your four or five-year-old children together? Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something. Please don't unload the skills in my backpack."

"Humph, you still dare not call me sister?"

Koizumi: “…Sister!”

"Ha ha……"

"If I find a chance, I can also take Gin's Porsche. When Vodka is driving, I can suddenly throw it into the space! Hehehehe..."

"Why did you take his car? Why not just take him in directly? And take in the five people you care about as well. Oh, this is really a great way to start a harem."

“…You really know how to have fun.”

------

Koizumi stayed in the villa safe house for a total of seven days.

Every day, Mao Zuka goes to work during the day like he does at work, comes back in the evening to tell her about the new situation in the office that day, and then accompanies her in training.

Although Koizumi is still recovering from his injury, his life is still very fulfilling. He studies, trains, walks to collect singularities, plays with cats, and chats with Sakurai for running-in training.

What’s even more surprising is that on the morning of the eighth day, she discovered that although the injury on the back of her head had not yet healed completely, her hair had actually grown new!

It really returned to its original shape overnight, and was exactly the same length as before the doctor shaved her head!

Moreover, neither Nekozuka nor Sakurai Izumi thought there was anything wrong with this matter. Instead, they thought it was strange that she was making a fuss about it.

Cat Matsuka is a native of this world, so it's okay that he doesn't feel anything.

Sakurai Izumi you...

Well, you've been here for too long, and you've probably been assimilated.

This strange incident made Xiaoquan feel more and more that there are indeed non-scientific forces in this world. Maybe the system in her body is actually one of the special existences in this world?

Well, since hair can be refreshed, then when she needs to disguise herself, she can just cut her hair, and then wait for the hair to refresh and grow back by itself. Wouldn't that mean there would be no trace of disguise?

So, how often should your hair be refreshed?

So out of curiosity, Koizumi shaved his hair again...

After a week of sick leave, Koizumi finally decided to return to work. As soon as she turned on her phone, she received a wave of crazy email bombardment.

【Contact as soon as possible. Rum.】

【Reply message. Gin.】

[Contact me as soon as possible, it's very important! Rum. ]

[Do you want to die? Reply! Gin. ]

[About giving you money for free, reply to me right away! Rum. ]

[If you don't show up, I'll kill Miyano Akemi. Gin. ]

[…Okay, stop being mad. I just sent you the money a day late. I sent it, I sent it, reply as soon as possible! Rum.]

[If you show up one day later, the 2 million yen you owe me will double. Gin.]

Koizumi: ...

She glanced at the time when Gin sent his last email, which was early this morning.

Oh, that's okay, there's still time.

Lying down on the sofa, she held up her phone and sent an email to Gin: [See you at the Dahei Bar tonight. ]
