The explosion-proof suit armed to the teeth blocked the man's face, and only his name - Matsuda - could be seen from the nameplate on his chest.

"Aren't you on standby down below? Why did you come up here?" Hagiwara Kenji asked in surprise.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was wearing an explosion-proof suit, shook his head: "...I'm not worried, so I came up to take a look."

As he spoke, he looked at the bomb in Hagiwara Ken's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and do it, so as not to have a long night and a lot of dreams."

Hagiwara Kenji watched him approaching the bomb in his hand as if facing a formidable enemy, and was about to open the door when something suddenly occurred to him.

"...You didn't come here because of that nightmare that morning, right?"

Matsuda Jinpei was looking for bomb disposal tools and said nothing.

Hagiwara Kenji: ...No way, no way, my best friend is actually a person who takes nightmares seriously?

He reached out and patted Matsuda Jinpei on the shoulder: "Relax, it's just a small bomb, and it has stopped. There won't be..."

"Beep beep beep——"

Before he finished speaking, the bomb in front of the two people was activated again. The countdown started from three seconds and jumped to two seconds in a blink of an eye.

His body reacted instinctively. He grabbed the bomb and ran in the opposite direction of the team members, shouting as he ran: "Run quickly——"

In the last two seconds when he was about to die, Hagiwara Kenji's mind went blank. Through the thick explosion-proof suit, he couldn't see clearly the expression on Matsuda Jinpei's face, but he suddenly remembered the phone call he made in the morning.

——So, is this guy a crow’s mouth or a prophet?

These were his last thoughts.

Phew——bang——

The countdown stops and the bomb detonates.

To be precise... it detonated, but not completely.

Hagihara Kenji watched as the box emitted thick smoke, and then exploded with a "bang" just like the unboxing special effects in an animated movie. Thousands of colorful ribbons fell from the air, and a small flag was raised from the box.

There was only one sentence written above that made Kenji Hagihara very ptsd.

——Are you wearing explosion-proof clothing today?

Hagiwara Kenji looked at the detonated "bomb" on the ground, and then at his sluggish friend behind him.

In such a suffocating sense of unreality, he spoke with some trembling.

"...Is this scene in your dream?"

On the other side of Tokyo, Kumisa Furukawa leaned on the deck chair on the balcony and lazily sat up, scattering a handful of French fries to the seagulls beside him.

She looked at the calm sky and sighed sincerely.
