"You're coming a little slower than I expected."

Time came to Akai Shuichi to follow the clues left by Mamiya Kokoro, until the day when Kuroba Chikage was in Washington's former residence.

When he opened the door with the master key, he saw only a figure inside the house.

It was a male figure, dressed in a hospital gown, and looked to be about the same age as him.

The figure stood on the edge of the corridor on the second floor, looking at Shuichi Akai below, he put the book he had just taken down back on the shelf and walked down the stairs.

"Friends are a rare thing."

The figure spoke as he descended the stairs.

"And just a few days ago, I lost a very important friend, his surname is Jianmiya, and his single name is a heart."

[This person, is it really related to the palace......]

When Akai Shuyi heard this, he secretly said in his heart that he was not surprised.

This is the last place where the palace guided him to come, and the mysterious man who appeared here in front of him must have something to do with the palace.

It's just that Shuichi Akai doesn't know what exactly Mamiya wants this person to tell him, or ...... How can this man help him?

"I've known Mamiya since we were kids."

The male voice is very flat, and the tone is impossibly steady.

"I think it's because of my twin sister, who was born ten minutes before me, and when we were still in the womb, most of the nutrients provided by my mother were taken away by her, resulting in my younger brother has been weak and sick since he was born.

Even though I made a very difficult and thrilling journey through the most fragile infant years for human beings, the situation did not get any better.

After all, it is a congenital loss, so it can only be made up for a lot by the acquired way, so long-term hospitalization has become the only way of life that can keep me alive.

That's when I met Manomiya. ”

Finally walked down the stairs, but the man did not walk towards Akai Shuichi by the door, but walked to the sofa coffee table next to him.

"We met when we were young, and he was similar to me, and he was also frail and sickly when he was younger, but unlike me, his condition has been slowly improving with age.

By the time he reached adulthood, his physical condition was already the same as that of a normal adult, and there was no need to stay in the hospital any longer.

That being said, the two of us, after all, have had a friendship of being hospitalized together for many years, and even if he no longer needs him, he often comes back to visit me in the hospital.

In my opinion, Mamiya is the smartest man in the world, he has a natural mind, and he rarely loses to me when we used to play those little games of reasoning.

It was about five years ago that he learned the art of transfiguration from a certain person, and after the death of the teacher who taught him, he joined the FBI, according to him, to investigate a mysterious person and organization. ”

On the coffee table, there was a pot of water that had already been boiled, and the man picked up the kettle and poured some into each of the two cups.

"It wasn't until a few days ago that he finally told me the truth, and the mysterious organization he wanted to investigate was a black organization that had existed in this world for a long time, and that mysterious person was the most important person in this organization, codenamed - Regel."

Speaking of this, the man finally turned his head to look at Shuichi Akai behind him, and at the same time raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the sofa opposite him.

And Akai Shuichi was not polite, walked up directly, and sat on the sofa opposite the man.

"What else did he tell you?"

Although he was a little surprised that the name "Legel" could be uttered by the man's mouth, it was more or less in his prediction.

After all, Mamiya clearly wanted him to meet this person, and even wanted him to get this person's help to fight against the organization.

It is reasonable that this man knows the information of some organizations.

He just didn't know what was so special about the man in front of him that he could be chosen by the palace? Is it just because they're friends?

"Legel has something to do with the teacher who taught the Mamiya Transfiguration Technique, and according to the Mamiya, his teacher's family was all brutalized by this person."

The man lifted the glass and explained slowly.

"Tracing and digging out the true identity of this person is the most direct reason why Mamiya joined the FBI.

It's just a pity, and at the same time it hurts me a lot, that Mamiya lost his life in the confrontation with this mysterious organization when his investigation was just beginning......"

"You...... How did you find out about this? Shuichi Akai asked.

The death of the heart of the palace is still only known to a few people.

"JudiStallyn."

Looking at Shuichi Akai, the man said the name he was very familiar with.

"This person, like Ling, is also a colleague of Mamiya in the FBI, she is a little older than Mamiya, and according to the information Mamiya told me, she and Mamiya should be lovers.

The other day, Mamiya had sent me an e-mail in which he had a hunch that he might encounter some mortal danger in his next move.

This is not unusual, since there have always been people in recorded history who could have anticipated their own deaths.

The only thing he couldn't let go of in his heart was his girlfriend named Judy.

In the email, he stated that he had set up a scheduled email with information about the Lady Judy.

Mamiya told me that if he survived the crisis, he would naturally come back and cancel the email, but if he was in any danger, the email would be sent to my mailbox on time, and he hoped that my friend would take care of the poor lady for him.

Despite all the prayers in my heart, unfortunately this email with information about Ms. Judy was sent to my mailbox yesterday morning.

And this also shows that he was indeed killed......"

Speaking of this, a look of gloom appeared in the man's eyes.

The fact that his former best friend died quietly in another country made him feel sad.

"I see, he ...... Is it asking you to take care of Judy? Akai Shuichi frowned slightly.

"That's right." The man nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "After all, in addition to the friendship between me and the palace, I actually ...... He also has a lot of family resources.

Mamiya may have considered that Ms. Judy would be hit hard by his murder and that she would collapse and lose her job at the FBI.

He asked me, presumably because I could ensure that Ms. Judy would not be troubled by material things for the rest of her life.

As for whether Ms. Judy can get out of the mental blow, it is beyond my ability. ”
