When Asagiri pulled Kenji Hagiwara back from the road to the underworld and into the world of the living, the world also gained a human-shaped Hagiwara Asagiri.
Three years after her childhood friend's sacrifice, Jinpei Matsuda saw a woman whose features were almost identical to his childhood friend at a welcome party for new recruits in the Bomb Disposal Unit. His pupils practically shook.
Whenever he saw her at work after that, Jinpei Matsuda was reminded of that idiot who never wore a bomb suit. He clenched his fists, grinding his teeth.
Hagiwara Asagiri thought her face would help her get close to Jinpei Matsuda quickly. The fantasy was beautiful; reality was cruel.
Jinpei Matsuda never gave her a kind look. His glare was practically murderous.
She wasn't the Superintendent General of the National Police Agency he wanted to punch, so why was he looking at her like that?
While defusing a bomb, she cautiously moved the needle-nose pliers toward the wrong wire and earned herself a hard rap on the head. "Did you even pay attention during the last training session? If you can't remember something this basic, you might as well transfer to a police box... The job's much safer."
Then, one morning, Jinpei Matsuda woke himself up with a cigarette and spotted a little boy who looked suspiciously like a miniature Kenji Hagiwara.
"? Hagi's illegitimate son?"
"Big Brother Matsuda." A teenage Kenji Hagiwara grinned. "She said she likes me better."
Jinpei Matsuda gritted his teeth, grabbed the little boy in front of him, and tossed him out the door. "What right does an idiot who doesn't wear a bomb suit have to be my rival!"
