late at night.

The moonlight outside the window was quiet, and Mogami Kazuto sat quietly on his chair, somewhat lost in thought.

Today's Mogami Kazuto only occasionally thinks of his former self when he sees the moon.

He seemed to be assimilated into this world and became Mogami Kazuto.

He was unable to resist and had no intention of resisting.

There is actually nothing wrong with spending the rest of your life peacefully and doing what you want to do.

If he could do it all over again, Mogami Kazuto would hope that he could be Mogami Kazuto from the beginning.

He did not appear on the wedding day, but was born into this world as "Kazuto Mogami".

In that case, his personality and life may undergo earth-shaking changes.

I'll probably still become childhood sweethearts with Saori Konishi, but as long as I don't like her, or aren't as obsessed with her as the original owner, there won't be any problem.

They can grow up as ordinary childhood sweethearts, whether they fall in love with each other as time goes by, or they have their own lovers and have their own continuations.

These don't sound like bad results.

Why must he have to bear the burden of another person's life? Mogami Kazuto was puzzled by this.

But this was at best the thought of Mogami Kazuto. Since he had decided to step out of that circle, there was no need to cling to the past of this body.

At least that's the case with mental convenience.

He said that this was his life.

So, is it like what Arisa Shimizu said, that my attitude towards Saori Konishi is too strange?

Mogami Kazuto has the answer in his heart.

Qingshui Yousha is right, he is just a coward.

So when a coward realizes that he is a coward, if he doesn't do something, he may stay like this for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Mogami and Kazuto made up their minds.

He cannot live forever in the shadow of the original owner and Saori Konishi. Even for a guy like him, there will be people in this world who say they like him.

Mogami Kazuto wanted to try to respond to them.

To do this, he must break free from the prison.

Looking at the chat box page on the phone screen, Mogami Kazuto felt calm and less disturbed than he imagined.

【Do you have work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?】

My fingers did shake a little while sending it, but that's not a big deal.

Soon, the reply came.

【No need.】

…

…

Saturday morning.

Mogami Kazuto didn't go for a morning run today, and he didn't even make breakfast for himself. After washing, he packed a sports bag with clothes and toiletries and went out.

Since the Obon Festival was approaching, Mogami Kazuto saw many red lanterns hanging on the way to the station.

Before the temperature had risen and the dew on the leaves of the unknown trees on the roadside had not completely evaporated, Mogami Kazuto arrived at Tokyo Station early.

At a nearby convenience store, he bought a sandwich and milk. The ham was full of starchy taste, but he still ate it all.

Not long after waiting, the date of the appointment appeared in the field of vision. He was wearing a pure white shirt and the hem was tucked into a plaid skirt. He was dressed quite simply and refreshingly.

She didn't seem to see Mogami Kazuto at the first time. She stood there looking around and checked the time on her phone, as if she was hesitating whether to send a message to Mogami Kazuto.

For some reason, Mogami and Kazuto just looked at him like this for five or six minutes without going up to talk to him.

And she just stood there, like an actress on a stage, standing behind the curtain, waiting to come on stage.

She took a step back and politely and elegantly refused the man who came to chat with her. The smile on her face did not diminish.

She seemed to be able to show that kind of smile to everyone, the corners of her mouth were clearly upturned, but she seemed to be repelling others.

Tired of looking at it and too lazy to conduct any more human observations, Mogami Kazuto walked over.

She finally caught sight of Mogami Kazuto and waved to him from a distance.

"Good morning Kazuto."

"Well, good morning."

There was no pretense of indifference, Mogami Kazuto smiled slightly, used an ordinary tone of voice, and said an ordinary greeting.

Just like the convenience store clerk who shouts "Welcome" hundreds of times every day when meeting a regular customer.

It's very simple isn't it.

"Then let's go."

"Um."

…

Their destination today is Atami Station, which can be reached in one hour and twenty minutes by limited express train from Tokyo Station.

Saori Konishi was still sitting by the window and seemed to be in a good mood. What surprised Mogami Kazuto was that she didn't do anything that bothered him.

He just looked out the car window quietly with a gentle smile and said nothing.

So far, Mogami Kazuto's heart is very calm, without the sudden throbbing that night.

He is still very conscious.

Every minute that passes, Mogami and Kazuto become more determined.

…

Atami City is located in the eastern part of Shizuoka Prefecture. It is a mountain town and is famous for its hot springs.

The deepest impression Mogami Kazuto has about this city is that in some third-rate TV dramas, there are always male characters who take their lovers to the island to soak in hot springs in the name of a temporary business trip, which leaves a lasting impression on Mogami Kazuto.

Impressions of the Holy Land.

After getting off the car, the air that blows into the tip of my nose along with the gentle summer wind is much refreshing than in Tokyo, with the unique smell of mountains and sea, refreshing.

Outside the station, in addition to green trees everywhere, there are two rows of footbath pools at the entrance of the station. Many people are sitting there, soaking their feet in the pools, including children and adults.

"Kazuto, there seems to be a shopping street over there. Let's go there and have a look. You can buy some specialties to take back."

"Let's buy it when we go back. It's not convenient to carry it now."

"Hmm... that's right, then go and have a look."

Because Atami City is a mountain city, almost all slopes are on slopes. I am used to walking on the gentle avenues of big cities like Tokyo, so walking on the sloped paths feels very strange.

No, the wonderful feeling does not come from the ramp, but from the woman next to me.

Going on a wedding trip with your recently divorced ex-wife sounds really hard to laugh out loud.

Now that things have happened, what kind of relationship should be called between myself and her?

Childhood sweetheart? Ex-wife?

These terms are inaccurate.

He is Mogami Kazuto, but not completely. At least to him now, Konishi Saori is just a stranger who has crossed paths with him.

Treating an ordinary stranger, whether it is courtesy or coldness, seems a bit strange.

Keep a humble and normal attitude towards others and stabilize yourself. After this trip is over, Mogami Kazuto will be able to gain complete control over this body.

He will no longer be troubled by his body's instincts, and the attachment that makes him anxious will be cut off. He can even use this as an opportunity to find a love that truly belongs to him in this world.

After all, there are still people in Tokyo waiting for him to return.
