Kuro Hagi Says: Keep Your Distance

This novel will switch to paid chapters starting from Chapter 22 on August 22.

Black Hagi never expected that not only would he get set up during a mission, but he’d also end up in a strange world.

He’d simply dealt with someone who’d offended him, and then realized he might have accidentally saved a cop.

Before he could leave, the cop he’d rescued stopped him.

Looking at the curly-haired officer blocking his way, Black Hagi took a step to the side. The officer followed.

Black Hagi raised an eyebrow and deliberately leaned closer, his voice suggestive. “Officer, are you stopping me because you want to come home with me?”

The curly-haired officer said nothing. The curly-haired officer nodded.

Black Hagi: ???

Matsuda had a dream. In it, he had a childhood friend who’d grown up with him. They grew up together, got into the police academy together, and joined the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department together. Then his childhood friend was killed by a bomber. Matsuda began seeking revenge for him, and in the end, he was killed by a bomb, too.

Matsuda woke suddenly. In reality, he had no childhood friend who’d grown up with him. He searched for families named Hagiwara, but there was no such person as Hagiwara Kenji.

Then reality and the dream overlapped. Beneath the familiar Ferris wheel, Matsuda met someone he hadn’t expected to see.

PS:

OOC warning, character derailment warning. Everyday life with some organization-related plot.

The story is told mainly from Hagiwara’s perspective, with occasional chapters from Matsuda’s.

The writing is genuinely at elementary-school level. If you really don’t like it, feel free to leave.

In Black Hagi’s backstory, Jinpei Matsuda exists, but the two are like parallel lines, with no connection. In Jinpei Matsuda’s backstory, Kenji Hagiwara doesn’t exist.

Black Hagi grew up without Matsuda as his childhood friend, and Matsuda grew up without Hagi as his childhood friend. Both of them are missing each other, though they did play together as children. That’s all I can say.

Theme: Weather the storms and bravely face your imperfect self.
