Kishibe Rohan returned to normal the moment he stepped into the alley.
I'm fine now.
It seems to be going smoothly!
He looked at the words carved into his arm with a pencil sharpener again, pondering for a moment—
Then he took out the pencil sharpener again and deepened the almost-healed wound on his arm. Because he wasn't sure if Sugimoto Reimi's memory had also been erased, he made the wound deeper so it would help him remember things in time.
After quickly deepening the wound, he loudly called out for Sugimoto Reimi in the alley.
"Reimi! Reimi!"
Finally reaching the villa entrance, Sugimoto Reimi suddenly appeared.
"What's wrong, Little Rohan?" Sugimoto Reimi looked puzzled. The situation was urgent, so he didn't bother with Sugimoto Reimi's way of addressing him and instead asked if she remembered seeing Johnson Joffrey yesterday.
"Of course, you and Johnson came together."
Sugimoto Reimi said matter-of-factly, not knowing what was wrong with Kishibe Rohan, but sensing that there must be a problem.
Kishibe Rohan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was someone in this world like him who hadn't been affected by that murderer's Stand attack.
That's great.
"Listen to me!" Kishibe Rohan explained the whole story. He wanted to prove himself to Johnson Joffrey.
But he was also very curious why Reimi hadn't been affected by that murderer's Stand attack.
"That ability must be activated for some reason, and besides my Heaven's Door, it's useless," Kishibe Rohan analyzed, recalling how he had indeed used Heaven's Door yesterday to check the old gravedigger's memories, only to find that he had no recollection of being injured and hospitalized.
And it wasn't simple amnesia; everyone had randomly arrived in a new situation. That feeling was like...
He had transmigrated, transmigrated to a new world, or rather, a different scene.
As for the events of the old scene, they had been completely erased.
"Now I need to find Johnson. You need to prove to him what happened last night. Although I don't want to admit it, he is still very reliable," Kishibe Rohan said seriously. "Reimi, can you come out?"
Sugimoto Reimi frowned. The situation was urgent, and she also started to get nervous. The fact that he could make the entire world his target showed how powerful he was.
"I can walk to the entrance of the alley, but I can't go too far," Sugimoto Reimi said.
Kira Yoshikage lingered, hesitating whether to go in, then decided to walk to the side and wait a bit.
Because that alley always gave him an ominous premonition.
"This alley is strange; it's better to be careful."
Thought, caution, boldness.
Kira Yoshikage had once pondered why he was able to overcome difficulties time and time again. He was good at thinking and summarizing, and the answers he came up with, besides his intelligence and good luck, were these three points.
Kishibe Rohan definitely remembered what happened on June 7th, and he had already analyzed the reason for the disappearance of the old records in his mind, which was why he came here without listening or looking.
I must kill him.
Anyone who affects my, Kira Yoshikage's, peaceful life must die.
He thought carefully for a moment, and in the end, he didn't go in. Instead, he walked into the OWNSN convenience store next door to wait for Kishibe Rohan.
This alley is strange.
Just as he was buying soy sauce, he suddenly saw Kishibe Rohan emerge from the alley.
He walked out, with a very beautiful girl beside him.
The girl looked a little familiar, but an even more astonishing scene occurred: next to the girl was—
That dog?
What's going on?! Why is that dog's neck bleeding? And can't anyone else see it?
"Woof!!"
A loud bark startled Kira Yoshikage, and he quickly retreated completely into the convenience store.
"What's wrong, Arnold?" Sugimoto Reimi quickly pulled her dog, but he kept barking incessantly at the OWNSN convenience store.
Kishibe Rohan and Sugimoto Reimi exchanged glances, seeming to have discovered a clue—
"Arnold is very docile; he never barks without reason."
"Could it be?!" Kishibe Rohan frowned. Generally speaking, if this situation were to occur in a shonen manga scene—
Then the murderer might be in the convenience store.
Fortunately, it was an OWNSN convenience store, not too far from the alley, so Sugimoto Reimi could also enter—
"Arnold has seen him! Arnold can definitely recognize him!" Sugimoto Reimi's eyes reddened, tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back, saying with a determined expression.
"That guy must be in the convenience store!"
Kira Yoshikage had his back to the door, but Sugimoto Reimi's words all fell into his ears.
Damn it! This girl must be a ghost! Could it be someone I killed?! Because of his own father as an example, Kira Yoshikage accepted it very quickly.
So that's it, I wondered why they suddenly started investigating my identity, so it was you... I remember now!
You are Sugimoto Reimi, you are that one from back then! The girl I killed fifteen years ago... After all these years, your soul still exists in this world! And that damned dog!
Damn it! Sugimoto Reimi and Kishibe Rohan walked into the convenience store and began to carefully examine every person of various types, and Kira Yoshikage was only one shelf away from them!
They circled around Kira Yoshikage, and Kira Yoshikage carefully avoided them, but—
He was already cornered at the door. If he made a move here, it would definitely attract attention, and if he ran out now, they would chase him!
What to do?! Kira Yoshikage's heart pounded! There was no other way!
He had to make a move!
"Boss Muramoto!"
A hooligan dressed like a ruffian stood in front of the convenience store owner, attracting the attention of Sugimoto Reimi and Kishibe Rohan.
"Boss Muramoto!" the hooligan said, "Could you give me a few more days?"
"Impossible! The money was due on May 1st, and you've dragged it out until today, May 26th!"
As the boss said—
May 26th!
At that instant, Kishibe Rohan, Sugimoto Reimi, and her dog seemed to lose something and became very confused.
What's going on?!
Why are we here?!
The two of them exchanged glances, and then everything became extremely muddled.
The two, completely bewildered, walked out of the convenience store!
"Hmph hmph hahahaha!!" Kira Yoshikage faced the shelves, unable to suppress his low, wild laughter.
"I knew it, I, Kira Yoshikage, will definitely overcome all difficulties!"
He boldly followed behind Kishibe Rohan and Sugimoto Reimi, then saw the two of them standing at the storefront, looking bewildered as if they had a fit of hysterics.
