Kawakamiji stood up and stretched.
There's no surveillance here, and the gentleman's people haven't arrived yet, so he can relax a little and act less like a newbie confused by inner conflict.
Despite this, Kawakami Tsumugi's temples were still swelling and painful, causing a double image to appear in front of his eyes.
The memory suddenly returned, and the pain of hunger and insomnia followed one after another. This was insignificant to him, and was insignificant compared to the joy of successfully archiving.
It's just that the wash of rain and snow is extremely cold, and in order to avoid OOC, Kawakamiji can't find a place to hide. He needs to maintain this state and wait for the arrival of the gentleman.
He succeeded, and that systematic approach worked.
The use of [Memory Archive] requires manual setting of the switch.
To use a simple metaphor, its mechanism is similar to the safe word set when doing some bad things. Stored memories can only be returned after certain conditions are met.
The condition set by Kawakami Tsumugi is: the key person identified by the system calls out his name "Kawakami Tsumugi", or his surname is "Kawakami".
"Shura Martial God"
Kawakami Tsumugi planned to spend the novice period under surveillance by that gentleman in a state of amnesia from the beginning. In any case, the truth is more convincing than the performance, and the fake show can only be fooled by the real thing.
Therefore, setting up the system in this way has gone through multiple considerations by Kawakami:
First of all, having access to the key person set by the system means that he has escaped the novice stage and the all-round control of that gentleman; and Kawakami is not sure whether there will be any abnormal reaction when he recovers his memory... and the key person either If the purpose is not pure, or you are not from the winery at all, it is safer to expose something wrong in front of them.
Moreover, being able to meet a key person calling him by his real name means that he is most likely not on a mission, and there will be no embarrassing situation where he suddenly regains his memory during a passionate confrontation with someone.
However, as usual, the gentleman would ask him to switch maps every time after cleaning his memory, which meant that Kawakami would leave Japan after he was qualified as "Kashasha".
The problem this brings is that he may not be able to meet the key person in time, but it is better than increasing the possibility of revealing that he has no amnesia in front of that gentleman.
But now there is a slight deviation. Because of Miyano Akemi, Kawakamiji recovered his memory in advance. This is...
It made Kawakamiji feel a little embarrassed.
Because in retrospect, he found that he was acting stupid almost every day after losing his memory. The most recent stupidity was that he ran away after completing a mission without any plan.
So fucking stupid, why does amnesia affect IQ?
Kawakamiji couldn't help but support his forehead with his hands.
However, he had done stupid things of similar nature in the last novice period. Based on his thinking characteristics, he probably did it in the last novice period as well, so he was quite familiar with it...
Amidst the patter of rain, Kawakami heard the sound of approaching car wheels.
That gentleman is here,
…………
The gentleman looked through the continuous rain.
Kashasha curled up on the bench, and the black trench coat stuck to the chair more like some kind of stain, a stain that was incompatible with this world. The gray-haired young man must have heard the sound of the car and noticed the gradually shrinking encirclement. But still indifferent.
There was no panic, no intention of running away, and no one raised his head to look at them.
Therefore, such an deviant move was more like a tantrum than a defection, and it required him, the guardian, to come over and coax him. According to the locator buried in the body, Kashasha did not go to remote places when running, but just went with the flow.
If you have a tantrum, deal with it as you would a tantrum. If Kashasha doesn't cooperate, clean it again. thought the gentleman.
This is actually ironic. After losing his memory, Kashasha will indeed have a repulsive attitude towards killing.
"Kashasha!" shouted the gentleman. "Kashasha!"
The car was pulled to the side of the road and stopped in front of the gray-haired young man. The gentleman sitting in the back seat rolled down the window and called the gray-haired young man's name. The rain was a bit loud, so he took off the breathing mask he was wearing.
He breathed in the cold, damp air, which caused him to break out into an earth-shattering cough. Hearing his cough, the gray-haired young man finally raised his head.
His gold-rimmed glasses fell off, and his pure black eyes were large and lifeless. They looked more like the extremely deep, lightless seabed, where countless corpses of different creatures were housed under the vast expanse, giving him an indescribable sense of suffocation.
It was difficult for the gentleman to read Kashasha's emotions, but he had dealt with such scenes many times, so he was familiar with it.
It can only be solved if it breaks out.
The gentleman was actually speeding up the process consciously, grasping the rhythm of the gray-haired young man's fall step by step:
Let Kashasha perform tasks at close range and snipe from a distance until the butcher knife is aimed at innocent people...
What happened today was within the gentleman's expectation.
"Sir, you are here..." Kashasha tried to evoke a smile, but failed. His voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for the gentleman to hear.
"Why did you run away without saying a word?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I don't want to do it anymore." The gray-haired young man said calmly, "Suddenly I realized that becoming a Kashasha is not as good as I thought... So, sir, will you let me go?"
"You are Kashasha."
"So sir, will you let me go?" Kashasha repeated stubbornly.
"No." The gentleman said simply, "I am your guardian and need to be responsible for you. If - cough cough cough cough cough -!"
The cold air made his throat hurt, and the gentleman couldn't restrain himself from choking. After barely calming down, he could see worry in the gray-haired young man's eyes, but he was trying his best to restrain himself.
"But I kind of want to leave, sir," Kashasha whispered.
"If you really want to leave, it's not that I can't agree, but leaving means death. The organization is not a bondage for you, but a shelter. After you leave the organization, there will be a steady stream of people coming to seek revenge on you, and you won't survive more than three years. sky."
The statement that he could not survive more than three days is obviously nonsense. With Kawakami Tsumugi's ability, even if he is being hunted by the entire organization, no one can find him if he doesn't want to. He doesn't run just because he has no interest in running.
But for Kashasha, whose memory has been wiped out...well...
The gray-haired young man was obviously frightened. He said nothing and looked blankly at the gentleman, who still had the indentation of the breathing mask on his face. The old man's face was an unhealthy bluish-white color.
"Are you not suitable for the task?" The gentleman said again, "We can talk about this matter. Can you come back with me first?"
Kashasha still didn't speak. He nodded slightly and then shook his head hesitantly.
"Be obedient, Kashasha." The gentleman's tone increased, "It's too cold outside, let's go home first."
The gray-haired young man still didn't move.
"Be obedient and go home first."
…………
Perhaps the word "go home" impressed the gray-haired young man. Kashasha did not resist. He opened the car door and sat next to his guardian.
After coming into contact with the heating, he began to shiver. The gray-haired young man took off his black windbreaker and wrapped himself in a thick blanket. Although the pants and shirt are also wet, it is much better this way.
"You only wear a singlet under your windbreaker?" The gentleman frowned in disapproval.
Well, it’s about style, not temperature. Wearing a sweater will affect his movements, mainly his coolness. Anyway, he only has a short time to perform the task, and the rest of the time he can huddle in the car with the heater on.
And the matter of wearing a sweater... Kashasha found it troublesome when he lost his memory; Kawakami Tsumugi when he regained his memory... also found it troublesome.
The gentleman unscrewed his thermos cup and handed it to Kashasha.
Inside is steaming hot coffee. It didn't take much to think about how painful it was. The memory of drinking American coffee at Nanyang University made him unwilling to try it at all. And according to Kashasha's current mentality, Kawakamiji doesn't know how to drink coffee.
"Sir... I always feel that your attitude towards me is very much like emotional manipulation." He took the coffee cup and whispered.
