What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

On a dining table facing the street and by the window in Star and Fire, Toya sat at one end of the table, Gou Lang and the hooded boy sat at the other end, and the note was placed in the middle of the table.

The only remaining warm sunlight in winter is shining into the room through the glass. However, the hooded boy doesn't seem to be able to enjoy the sunshine very well. Occasionally, he casts uneasy eyes on the street separated by only one glass—he I still remember that Xiao Hei said that this is the territory of Barbara.

"Ah~ Long time no see, Xiao Hei."

"'Ya' what 'ya'——Mr. Toya, why are you here?" Yatogami Kuro asked with a headache on his temple.

"This is the shop I opened, isn't it?"

"So, this note—"

"Well, it's my handwriting. This is a note I left for a friend, inviting him to come and see me here if he ever comes to Tokyo."

"—Is this note for that friend named Hida?" The boy finally let go of his worries, lifted his hood, revealed his signature short silver hair, and nodded to Fuyuya, "Excuse me, This is the first time we met, I am... Izuna, you can also call me Xiaobai... let's call it that."

"Xiaobai. I'm Toya Ishitani, you can call me whatever you want." Tomi shouted kindly, and then looked at his face carefully.

"What's wrong?" Gou Lang asked.

"Hmm... It's just that Xiaobai really looks like Painida, you say so, okay?"

"I've never seen the one named Barinida." Asakusa received the name mentioned calmly, and at some point he had already approached, holding a pure white cat in his arms.

"Neko!" Izanasha shouted out the name of the girl who ran away not long ago in surprise.

The pure white cat broke free from Hao Hao's embrace, jumped up and landed in Izona's arms, and with a puff of smoke, it turned into a girl with long light purple hair.

"Meow~ Xiaobai, I miss you so much~" Neko hugged Izanashe's arm tightly and rubbed against it. Then, as if afraid, he hid most of his body behind the silver-haired boy, only leaning out. upper body.

"Ma Cang-kun?"

"I didn't do anything to her, it's just that she was hiding and eavesdropping and I caught her out."

"Mo——I didn't eavesdrop, I just listened!" It seemed that the existence of the Izana Society gave her courage again, Neko protested dissatisfied.

Gou Lang understood as soon as he heard it, so he had to smile wryly.

Asakura finally refused to answer, and instead turned his attention to Izanasha, "It's your friend...the soul and body don't match up and you can survive. It seems that you have a very receptive body."

""What! ? "" Dongmi and Goulang exclaimed together.

"Don't understand? The soul in this body does not belong to the same person as its shell——I saw that the real owner of the body is sleeping deep in his heart. I'm afraid that is the Toru Hieda you know. Go." Asakura pointed straight at Izanasha.

On the contrary, the real person involved, Izanasha, gently grabbed the clothes on his chest, feeling relieved for a while.

...Is that so?

I'm afraid that's the only way to explain it, right?

I am neither the fake Isanasha, nor Tomohiro Hida, Toya-san's friend—so, who am I?

"...Neko, can I ask you something?"

"Xiaobai..." Neko let go of his arm, as if he had foreseen that he would ask him something, showing a weeping expression.

"Can you please restore my memory to its original state?"

The boy and the girl looked at each other. Gradually, Neko seemed to be infected by his firmness, and gradually made up his mind.

At the moment Neko closed her eyes and concentrated, it seemed that an invisible position extended from her body, and the first to bear the brunt was Izanasha beside her.

The silver-haired boy only felt that the experience of the past few days was printed on a video tape and rewinded, and the memory kept moving forward: he asked Neko and Xiao Hei to find the alibi at the time of the murder video, and the first meeting with Xiao Hei, Being hunted down by Barbara, preparing for the school festival with Juli and others, life in Weizhong Academy, the first meeting with Neko in the sports warehouse a week ago, the big hole in the roof of the warehouse, and then——

"Ah? What's ahead? That's all???"

Izanasha opened his eyes and found that he still couldn't remember what happened before he met Neko.

"This is where it started. Xiaobai fell down, right in front of me!" Neko stretched out his hands, making a gesture of embracing the sky high up.

"Did it fall from the sky...? Before that?"

Seeing Izana's embarrassed expression, Neko pouted and said, "Don't be sad, Xiaobai, let's try again!"

Then--

At countless heights in the sky, the silver-haired boy was on the deck of a spaceship, and was kicked down by another man with long hair of the same color——

"--Wow!!!"

Revisiting the feeling of weightlessness in just a few seconds, Izanasha couldn't help but screamed.

"How? Remember?"

"...Thinking about it, I was kicked off a spaceship by a man with long silver-white hair and gorgeous clothes in a retro court style."

"Eh? From the spaceship?" Gou Lang looked incomprehensible.

"Himmelreich (Empire of the Sky) spaceship, the first king, the vehicle of the Silver King—please use it." Putting the lemonade served in front of the three guests, Guochang Road's voice was always so calm, as if it was not Didn't realize the power of what she said.

"——The King of Silver!?" Gou Lang gasped. He was already involved in the killing of the barbarian cadres of the Red Clan by the Colorless King, and Scepter4, who was maintaining law and order, intervened. My lord, the situation is getting more and more complicated.

"—Long silver-white hair, gorgeous clothes and retro court style?"

Ma Cang seemed to find it very interesting, and suddenly laughed, "That's a coincidence, in my eyes, your soul that occupies this body now looks exactly like this."

Before the three of Izanashe could wake up from the topic bombs they dropped one after another, the doorbell on the gate of Star and Fire rang for the second time today——

The uninvited guests in blue uniforms, led by their king, stepped into the coffee shop.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Shigu-kun, you're back."

Ignoring the three who were ready to draw their swords or run away at any time, Munakata Reishi greeted the owner of this place leisurely.

"Yes, Mr. Reisi. Come back to join in the fun, it seems that we can still catch the climax." Fuyumi greeted with a smile.

"Let's save the pleasantries for next time, Shigu-kun, just to ask, that silver-haired boy is involved in a murder case, can you hand him over to our Scepter4?"
