The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

"Ha... you really don't understand." Irena's strange expectation made him sigh: "In this era, strangers will know your name and even all kinds of family information. It’s all very ordinary.”

"...Really?" She was stunned when she heard this, and then asked uncertainly: "What kind of magic is that?"

"To be precise, it's something like big data."

"Big data? What is it?"

"Just think of it as magic for the time being, and then someone will use this information to make up all kinds of scams. By the way, I have encountered similar scams several times before."

After An Yan finished speaking, he explained to her thoughtfully what all these scams were about. What made Irena wake up from a dream was just like him before, and she expressed indignation that she wanted to report the fraud to the police.

It was only because of his quick stop that the two more suspicious guys were prevented from being arrested by the police and taken away to use sewing machines.

...................

"The 21st century is so scary! There are so many liars~!" Irena, who realized that she had been fooled if she was not careful, patted her chest and couldn't help lamenting the deterioration of the world. She even sat on a bench by the roadside and waved her hands away. An Yan, who also wanted to take a rest, urged: "Don't be idle, hurry up and continue working. It depends on you whether we continue to spend the night in the park counting the stars tonight, or whether we spend a vacation in a luxury hotel."

"I wasn't working just now? It's your turn now, right?"

"What are you talking about? You were almost defrauded just now? And this era is so dangerous, you must come here twice."

"....Does that mean you haven't considered having a serious job?"

"That's too slow! You can't make quick money! Why is it that no matter what world you are in, the ways to make quick money are written in the law?"

Irena, who had almost understood this world, couldn't bear what he said. With an expression that she couldn't let go, she shook her head and sighed heavily.

This was just as expected, which made An Yan feel a little funny: "Isn't it true that I told you that you can't be a decent person?"

"I don't want to be deceived by what you said to an ignorant girl!"

"I don't want to be said like that by your accomplice who instigated me!"

"Haha!? Did I instigate you? You are obviously pretending to be a good person on purpose, but in fact you are wanted by more countries than mine, right? Otherwise, how could you be so skilled? How could you change so quickly?"

Irena was really suspicious that An Yan was a sinister old bird pretending to be cute.

Such suspicion made Anyan feel a little sick in his stomach, because he had no idea how to prove his innocence, but at this moment... a blond girl with a side ponytail appeared not far away again.

However, this blond girl is none other than their benefactor last night - Ichi Chihongka.

This also made An Yan immediately ignore the slander, and hurried forward to greet her with shining eyes: "Miss Angel has appeared~Breakfast is here~!"

"You are such a bad person. She just helped us yesterday, and you still want to take advantage of her??"

Irena was scolding from the side, but she had no intention of stopping her. Her foot movements were not even slower than Anyan's.

"What are you talking about? The price of yesterday's dinner was my integrity. It must be your turn today!" An Yan suddenly stopped, and Irena stopped dumbfounded: "Huh? Are you really? A man? You actually let a girl commit a crime for you?"

"It's a shame you can say such things..."

"How do I..."

"——Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up~!"

Before Irena could finish speaking, An Yan pushed her out directly, wanting her to understand what it was like to exchange moral integrity for food, even though she should have been accustomed to it.

But... the development of things was inexplicably beyond his expectations.

When he roughly pushed Irena out, Hong Xia, who was still looking around as if she was looking for someone, suddenly turned gloomy.

She quickly ran over, caught Irena who was unsteady on her feet, and then glared at An Yan and said fiercely: "I really misjudged you!!"

"Eh?...Are you so angry? Are you the type who thinks girls can't be wronged in the slightest?"

"Uh... Calm down, Miss Hongxia. Although he is indeed a terrible person, I don't care. After all, we are just joking and he is not serious."

An Yan was confused. He always felt that something was wrong with Hong Xia's attitude. Irena was also stunned and waved her hands to defend him... although the content of her defense was a bit strange.

And Hongxia also grasped this key point, protected Irena behind her, and stared at Anyan warily: "Are you really bad! Anyan of the Fourth Palace!"

"No... uh... although I really don't think I am a good person, but isn't your attitude change a bit drastic? And... Si Gong Anyan? What Si Gong??"

Yesterday, he was so gentle that it was touching. Today, his attitude toward him was like an enemy. An Yan couldn't even react and only felt pain in his head.

Especially the strange term "Fourth Palace" also made him confused.

But Hongxia looked angry as if he had betrayed her trust, gritted her teeth and said, "That's because of yesterday! I didn't know you were such a person!"

"Have I always been this kind of person?" His face was full of questions, and he couldn't figure out what happened. Seeing that Hongxia was so angry, Irena couldn't help but doubt her: "An Yan ....You wouldn’t do anything to Hongxia while I was sleeping, would you?”

"Forget about others? You can't even trust me?"

"You don't care about others, but you actually think you can be trusted?"

"This..." Thinking of his own character that could not stand the test, An Yan turned away unconsciously and cursed softly in regret: "...Damn it! There is no way to deny it!"

Chapter 11 Arrested as an active offender?

Although An Yan's voice was very soft, Irena heard it clearly and couldn't help but spread her hands and shook her head: "Look...you don't have confidence in yourself anymore. How can I trust you?"

"Even if this is indeed the case! You should stand by me at this time. Is it possible that compared to the woman who only invited you to have a meal, I am more worthy of trust than me, the person who shares weal and woe with you?"

"Isn't this nonsense?" Faced with his indignant questioning, Irena rolled her eyes at him without even thinking: "Why do you think I will believe you?"

"You...why!"

"So, why do you ask such a stupid question? If it were a choice between me and Hong Xia, whose words do you think are more trustworthy?"

"Even so...where are the people I've accumulated in my daily life?"

"You don't have anything like that, do you?"

"Yes..." Faced with Irena's merciless complaints, he couldn't defend himself and could only nod his head in resignation. When he turned to look at Hong Xia again, he found out.

Although he didn't say anything while trying his best to win Irena's understanding, Hongxia kept staring at him. Seeing that he was finally giving up, he slowly said: "... Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"I want to explain too much, but I don't even know what you are angry about. How do you want me to explain it?"

"Last night! Dad suddenly ran home!"

"....Congratulations?"

It should be considered normal for parents to go home at night, right?Although it would probably be a disaster for his parents to come home, An Yan still couldn't figure out what she was excited about. Could it be...

"Your parents...are you crazy?"

"Your parents are crazy!"

"How did you know?"

"You, you guy...can you even say such nonsense to your own parents?!"

The girl who stared at him closely, with her chest rising and falling fiercely, pointed at him and made a trembling voice: "Let me ask you one last time... You are An Yan, right?"

"? I should have said my name yesterday, right? Did I forget it so quickly?"

"—Go to hell!!"

After confirming his identity again, the extremely angry girl - Itachi Hongxia finally couldn't bear it anymore. Without saying a word, she picked up the schoolbag she was carrying and threw it at his face.

"....well??"

He never expected that the girl who was so kind yesterday that made him doubt that there really were angels in the world would suddenly take action. He was so confused that he even forgot to avoid it.

It was Irena, who was always very wary of others when she was traveling, who quickly pushed him away with quick eyesight and quick hands, and was able to avoid a tragedy.

The schoolbag also hit a tree nearby, making a loud "Bang!!" sound. An Yan, who was caught off guard and almost fell down, felt his scalp numb... If he hadn't been pushed away, this would have happened. His face should be quite eye-catching now.

This also made Irena frown unconsciously. Although she was not merciful to An Yan, she still quickly distanced herself from Hong Xia, and clenched her wand to subdue the girl who exploded inexplicably and hurt people. .

An Yan then stood up and stood in front of Irena and asked: "——What are you doing? Do I have any grudge against you? Wasn't it just that I wanted to cheat money yesterday? After all, I didn't cheat in the end, it was you who took the initiative Give it to me? As for this??"

"——How dare you say that! You pervert! You kidnapped my sister with money! Now you dare to do it in front of me! Violence against my sister!!"

"???What are you talking about? Using money to kidnap your sister? When did I get so rich and I didn't even know it? Violence? I just pushed you, it's not violence, right? By the way...sister ? Could it be...Irena?"

The strange angry rebuke made him confused, and then he turned back in disbelief and looked at the gray-haired girl behind him.

Irena was equally confused. Faced with his puzzled gaze, she just spread her hands blankly. However, Hongxia was extremely convinced: "Who else could it be!"

"Well...my head is a little messy right now, let me sort it out first..." He covered his face and tried to brainstorm, trying to figure out what was going on with this unconventional development.

"No misunderstanding! You beast!! You actually used money to twist my sister's body and mind! I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person~!"

"...Please don't say something so misleading, okay? I should still be normal. Besides, this guy's distortion and love of money are not my problem. It's her own natural character flaw, right? "

"Huh???" Irena, who was still confused, suddenly raised her head and looked at him who was standing in front of her. Yiji Zhihongxia was also so angry that she trembled with anger at these words: "——You still dare to blame it on your nature?! As expected, just go to hell! Bastard pervert~!!”

In her rage, Hongxia swung her schoolbag around again and threw it directly towards his head. An Yan was prepared to move back, but...

"--Hey!"

Irena, who was dissatisfied with his words, kicked him on the butt from behind, effectively making him dodge the attack, but she accidentally threw the girl in front of her to the ground.

He stared blankly at the girl who was thrown under him, clutching the back of her head in pain. He stared at the girl's cute face, and then he wondered whether Irena was giving him benefits or retaliating... ....

"——Police uncle! This person, this person is a pervert! Come here quickly, he is attacking my sister~!" Irena's voice came from behind again, but the content didn't sound quite right.

When he subconsciously turned his head to look, he saw that the police car that had been patrolling slowly suddenly stopped at the edge of the park.

(Things are indeed not that simple. Irena is a person who will retaliate for her anger!) After thinking about this, he looked at the policeman who got out of the car and came to him, ready to drag him up, and said in a bearish tone:

"...Although the current situation does look like I am pushing this girl down, if I say that all this was framed by the guy behind me, and it was the guy underneath me who made the first move, will you believe it? ?"

"Of course I believe it, but let's explain the details slowly in the car." "We will be in the car and listen to your explanation."

Two stern-faced policemen approached him, grabbed his hands from left to right, and pulled him up from Ijichi Hongxia's body.

But at this moment, he looked up at the sky with an expression of thinking about life and let out a long sigh. He knew that he really had to be a guest at the bureau this time.

This was not a big deal in the first place. He had made similar preparations when he first committed the fraud, but he was not caught during the crime. This time, he was inexplicably wronged and even arrested despite being the victim. ....This made him even more depressed.

Chapter 12 Revenge from God?

Inside the police station.

As a current prisoner, An Yan was taken directly to the interrogation room for questioning.

Irena, on the other hand, left the police station after a brief note and went home with her cheap sister Ijichi Hongxia.

Of course, when she was in the police station, Irena still told the truth of the matter and restored his innocence to a person who was not very innocent at first. However, Yiji Zhihongxia also told the whole story of her rage and... .A case that was hidden six years ago.

The reason is that six years ago, when Ijichi Hongxia was nine years old, her mother died in a car accident. She, her sister Ijichi Irena, and her sister Ijichi Xinge were all deeply affected.

It just so happens that my father is not at home all year round, and my eldest sister is obsessed with the band and never comes home... To be precise, she was unwilling to admit the reality for a period of time.

The second sister Hongxia had been crying and refused to go to school. The young third sister was abducted by Anyan passing by and stayed away for six years.

Although her memory was blurry six years ago, she clearly remembered that the police did nothing for some reason. They only told them that the criminal's name was An Yan, but did not reveal his last name. It was the private detective they hired who secretly told them the criminal's last name.

Yesterday, Hong Xia's father came home unexpectedly, and the private detective told him that Irena had returned to the city, and also gave him photos of the "prisoner" and Irena at this moment.

After returning home, her father talked about it with his daughters, and when she saw the photo, Hongxia immediately realized what she had missed.

Although she didn't understand why she didn't remember that her sister was also named Irena when she heard the name for the first time, and why she didn't think of the possibility of being a prisoner when she heard An Yan.

....Although the name Irena is very Western, it is also very common for Japanese to name Alice, so it can only be called a more alternative name; of course, this also made her regret that she did not think of it first. , rushed out of the house early in the morning to look for traces of the two of them, and then what happened just now.

Just hearing such testimony, An Yan and Irena were both confused and felt quite baffled.

Even the police didn't understand what happened six years ago, but the file showed that such a case had actually occurred. An Yan's name was erased for some reason, but the victim's name was written very clearly.

This forced the police to temporarily detain An Yan and ask him to confess all the details of the crime and the information on the accomplices involved in the crime. They planned to go to the victim Irena's house tomorrow to inquire about it.

certainly......

"....What kind of beast is this? Attacking a nine-year-old child?" An Yan really didn't know when she had done those things. She just felt like she was listening to a book from heaven.

"——That's you! You beast! Stop trying to quibble! Hurry up and tell the truth! Otherwise, don't think you can get out of here!"

The policeman looked at his confused look and instinctively thought he was pretending to be stupid, so he slapped the table and scolded him.

But in fact, An Yan really didn't understand, but he also felt that Yi Di Zhi Hongxia's previous behavior seemed not incomprehensible, but even a little too light... Even pulling out a knife was quite normal.

The problem is that although he has the memories of an adult, he looks like a sixteen-year-old now. Six years ago, he was just a child. How to abduct him?

Although there are indeed crimes committed by ten-year-old villains in the news, kidnapping for such a long time should not be something a child can do, right?Ah...that's why I asked if you have any accomplices? ——In the interrogation room, while facing the accusation, he was more confused than anyone else.

"What the hell is going on..." Just when he was so depressed that he couldn't help but hit his forehead on the table, he suddenly thought of the statue he was carrying.

Nothing happened yesterday, but this situation happened today, which really made him wonder whether it was possible that although he was just a demigod, he was said to control the laws of the cold night, stars, and moon, and represented the stars, moon, and Princess of the Moon with the power of the Law of Night, Lani is secretly helping her?

After all, he happens to be the appointed Apostle of the Moon, so it should be normal to get some help. So maybe that Hayasaka Ai is not a precise fraud, but Lani has arranged an identity for herself?But.....
