An Email from Officer Matsuda

[Going premium on March 7. I'll celebrate with a 10,000-word update!] Hashimoto Mao is just an ordinary university student. Through a twist of fate, she falls for a man named Matsuda Jinpei. They first meet because he receives a text message that was sent to the wrong person. In her imagination, Matsuda is a kind and handsome man. As they spend time together, she falls for him. She fights her shyness, arranges to meet Matsuda, and decides to confess to him that day. But she waits all day, and he never shows up. Strangely, from that afternoon on, there seem to be problems with her memory. * After graduating, Hashimoto Mao is invited to an evening party as a fashion designer. An unexpected murder case draws her into the investigation. The police officer looks familiar, but no matter how hard she tries, Hashimoto Mao can't remember him. After the case is over, he comes up to her, holds out his hand, and says with a smile, "Hello, my name is Matsuda Jinpei." Hashimoto Mao blankly holds out her hand. "Hello, I'm Hashimoto Mao." * Matsuda's point of view: That call from the future saved Hagiwara, and it also gave away his heart. At the evening party, he recognized her instantly from her voice alone. But she seems to have forgotten him. That's all right. They can get to know each other again. He's been waiting a long time. Reader advisory: The pairing is Matsuda. There is plenty of OOC. The author is terrible at writing blurbs. There's a reason Matsuda doesn't appear! I'm determined to save Matsuda and Hagiwara from their death flags. Although the blurb sounds angsty, this has a happy ending! It's a sweet, everyday-life story. Some inspiration came from Tokyo Girl (P.S. This is not a bad ending, not a bad ending, not a bad ending). [Coming soon: After Saving Hagiwara] A new neighbor moves in next door to Hanazono Asagiri. His name is Hagiwara Kenji, and he's a police officer. For some reason, she seems to be stuck on November 7. Trapped in this time loop, she goes from being bewildered to frightened, even trying to close her eyes forever, but she still can't escape the day. In the end, all she can do is wait for November 8 to arrive. She can't even begin to count how many times she's lived through the same day. The only thing she remembers is the smile her neighbor gives her every morning. One night, after she goes out, a fact she'd never noticed before is suddenly laid bare: her neighbor dies today. Hanazono Asagiri suddenly remembers that gentle smile. She decides to do whatever she can to save him, hoping she can see that smile again tonight. After countless attempts, she finally saves him. When she opens her eyes again, everything she can see is white. Where is she? Beside her, a friend roars, "Doctor! Doctor!! Asagiri, you're finally awake!! What were you thinking, charging in like that?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Hanazono Asagiri can't help laughing. There's only one thought in her mind: Time is moving again!!! After thinking it through, she realizes that time started moving for her because she saved Officer Hagiwara. Hanazono Asagiri: Officer Hagiwara is a god forever!! * Hagiwara is grateful to Asagiri. Thanks to her, they caught the culprit, and he avoided being blown up. When Asagiri asks for his photo and shows interest in his life, among other things, he starts to think she might like him. One day, he discovers by chance that his photo has been placed beside a shrine, with fruit and pastries laid out in front of it... What's this supposed to mean? He's not dead yet. Meanwhile, Asagiri has her hands clasped together and is murmuring, "God Hagiwara, please bless me so I don't fail today's exam." Hagiwara presses down on her head. "Asagiri, this can't bless you. Why don't I help you study instead?" (Please bookmark it!!!)
