A few hours before Zheng Ash woke up after the surgery. Evening.
Many of our lost compatriots lurked in cheap hotels with their remaining compatriots.
It seems that Masako Aoizato was taken to the bathtub by Junko Snow Oka if the dust was piled up.
One of your subordinates reports. This information comes from a collaborator at the edge of the color lurking under Shirako.
"I can't replace my belly on my back, so I thought I'd better take the lead and ask Junko Yukioka to help me."
"It's not even the earliest." And there is no guarantee that she will help me. I can't pay for the deal. ”
In response to the advances of his subordinates, the colour edge leaves behind and speaks about the current situation.
"You don't have any hands?"
The other subordinates checked with a subdued voice.
“If you ask Junko Yukioka for help, you have to be curious to catch her, but she probably won't catch her. But... it's also true that we're being cornered."
The edge of the color exhales. As it is, it will continue to be an undercover life that merely escapes from Shirako.
"Let's try contacting Junko Yukioka with Ichikabacha." And let us know what's going on and ask for your help. If you think about what you can provide, it's about the workforce. I don't know if she needs it. "
Since there were no other good hands, the color end accepted the advances of his subordinates and cut the helm to the policy of begging Junko for shelter.
The day after Ash Masaki underwent head surgery. The ash was accumulated in a room of the bathtub, and he was sleeping on the bed and recuperating.
How are you feeling?
When Junko visits the room and calls out to her, Ash Masaki's face doesn't float.
"Junko... I'm scared."
“What are you afraid of?”
"Little by little, but... I can feel my head getting clearer." "But little by little, my head is getting clearer and I'm losing myself..." It feels like I'm going to be a different person. And... I'm scared that I'm going to remember something I shouldn't remember. I'm sure I have some very unpleasant memories... that I wanted to keep forgetting. "
The feeling of wanting to remember something that has been forgotten, and the feeling of not wanting to erase yourself, is now asserting fiercely in the ashes.
But I know that old Ash Masamune-san must want to recover his memory ~
Immediately after that, the dialogue that True had spoken over and over again resurrected in Junko's mind.
”No matter how obsessed you and I are with my previous life, I don't want to be swayed by my previous life. I don't even want to remember my previous life. There's no one like that.
Junko thinks that ashes may be the same as truth.
"I want to go home soon..." I want to go back to Kawara...? "
"You should rest here for a few more days." Do you like that river so much? "
“Yeah, it's my favorite place.”
When asked by Junko, Ash Zheng replied with a weak smile.
"It seems like my mind is unstable, and I'll see how it goes here for about three or four days"
”Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
Junko's decision is obedient and obeyed.
"Yukioka, we have a guest."
The door is knocked on and a voice is heard. It's true.
"Jupupup"
Hello ~
Ash Masamune-san, onii-san ~
Makoto opened the door and Angelina, Kami, and Tsugumi entered the room.
"Everyone came to see me..."
Zheng Ash looks at the three of them and smiles.
Congratulations on your successful surgery ~. Have you returned all your memories?
"Hmm... I don't know yet. But I feel like I'm going back-"
Questioned by the gummies, Ash Zheng gave a vague smile.
"Yukioka-sensei, come here for a second." Ah, Kamimi-chan and Angelina-san are coming too. "
Tsugumi gestures to the outside of the room.
"Jap?"
Angelina let out a strange voice, interpreted the ashes to correctly deny, and went out with Tsugumi and the others.
"Hey, hey, Sakuoka-sensei. It's not like Ashigarashi-san's memories disappeared naturally, but someone lost their memories, right?"
The gummy who heard the story that the alraunelli copy was transplanted and the memory was sealed, checks again.
"Yeah, it's obviously man-made."
"Who did this to Ash Zheng for what?"
"You didn't just manipulate Ashisha-san's memory, did you?" I copied the child's spirit into Mr. Ash's heart. That's why you're like a child in your head like that. "
Listening to Junko's story, Tsugumi's face became real, and Kamimi also drew a wrinkle between her brows.
"For what, it's a study to stop the old mind." People's spirits are getting old. But sometimes people don't get old. That's who I am and who I am. "
"In other words, Junko-san, you know the truth..." You can tell us as much as you want. "
Said Kamimi.
"I don't know everything." Besides, there was a lot of uncertainty, and I couldn't give out all the information at that point. "
"There must be a trigger for you to move." How did you know about that old man? "
The truth of the story of the three people who came out of the room asks.
"I don't think I can say that right now. Well, there are people like my client."
And, Junko.
"Oh dear, Mr. Snow Oka's secrecy is also troubling ~"
"Jap Jap"
Listening to Tsugumi's dialogues, Angelina waved her hand to the side and her head to the side. I only know that you are denying Tsugumi's dialogues.
"You know Angelina, right?" Just grown-ups. "
"Jap"
"Mmm, what do you mean?"
Junko smiled, Angelina nodded with her arms crossed, and Tsugumi raised her voice of doubt.
"Even if it's allies or allies, it doesn't suddenly reveal all the information." You say you can't stand a door in a man's mouth. Even if you think you can trust it, it can still leak. If you're dealing with a large number of people, it's superfluous. Of course, there are cases where it is better to let everyone know from the beginning and share information, or to see the opportunity and then make a small note. In this case, I also had a lot of tricky parts, and I didn't completely trust the client, so I don't think I should talk to everyone at that point. "
I see.
Junko's story convinced me.
"I don't know, but if you think all adults are dirty, ok?"
"Not at all."
"Jap..."
Tsugumi confirmed it and Angelina denied it.
"What is it about studying mental retardation? It's common in science fiction. Do you just take out the brain and keep it alive in a capsule or a cylinder?"
This time, the truth is in doubt.
"Well, I am. I am. Tired, Makoto, and the mice I worked with have all been treated, but physical aging is not that difficult." It's been established for quite some time, and there are many ways. Nobody's going to be embarrassed if he doesn't get old, so it's not open to the public. "
Junko shrugs her shoulders when she talks that much.
"But, it's not just the flesh that gets old." The spirit is getting older as well. I still don't know how to prevent it perfectly. Kids with old and strong souls like me, Tired-kun, and True-kun don't have any mental aging. It's like an old man's proper qualities. Well, even if it's appropriate to be mentally aged, if you live too long, you'll cause a lot of mental abnormalities. "
"Jap, Jap. Jap."
Angelina jumped happily, pointing at Junko with her right hand as she turned her head around with her left hand. It was clear what the gesture and joy meant.
"Ash Zheng-san, I'm sorry." Let's just talk about leaving one of us alone. "
"I'm sorry, too." But I didn't say anything bad about Ashimasa-san
The door was opened and Junko and Tsugumi apologized.
"Fine, fine. I don't care. You cared about my head surgery because it was so hard to say in front of me, didn't you?"
"Is Ash Zheng-san getting a little smart?" This is also thanks to Dr. Snow Oka's surgery? "
Listening to the words of Ash Zheng while smiling, Tsugumi tea.
"It's not just about the surgery, it's about the head and the memory. It looks like the bad guy messed with Ashishi-san's head."
"A bad person... why did you kill me?"
If you recover your memories, you might find out.
Junko said with a slight smile, just like the ashes. It was the policy to wait as long as possible for Ashes to recall naturally, because there was a risk that Ashes would suffer or cause strange stimuli.
