stand-in creed

"Hey? Let's go now? You are very tired now, you must take a rest..."

"No! For reasons I can't say, I'm in a state of "race against time"!My Kira family ancestors were samurai, even if I fell down, I, Kira Yoshikage, must fight for the honor of the Kira family like my ancestors, even if I shed the last drop of blood!

"I will pay you for the clothes when I come here to patronize the business next time——

"—if I come back alive."

Chapter 4 Cinderella Part II

Taking a deep breath, Yoshikage Kira resolutely walked towards the back door.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

Yoshikage Kira was counting his steps.

Although my acting skills cannot be called perfect, I am afraid that there is no problem in coaxing such a woman.

after all--

In the eyes of any outsider, if you put yourself and Nero Zeppelin together.

Nero Zeppelin is more like a bad guy, a heinous Italian mafia, and he is an ordinary office worker who is involved in the extraordinary.

He is waiting for Aya Tsuji to offer to help.Maybe this woman is useless in battle, but she is a stand-in messenger after all, what effective help can she provide "just in case" at this critical moment?

If the bet fails, there is no loss.

If you win the bet, you may be able to find a chance to turn defeat into victory!

And the moment her hand touched the doorknob, Aya Tsuji stopped Yoshikage Kira.

"Wait, Mr. Kira!

"Although I don't know what kind of conflict you have with the Italian Mafia, if it is an enemy that even the police can't solve, although I dare not and cannot risk my life to fight side by side with you, but even so, my " Capabilities" might be able to help you. "

It's all about turnover.

Among other things, Yoshikage Kira hasn't earned back the cost of the clothes on his body, and he will lose money if he dies.

Tsuji thought so.

Kira Yoshikage was surprised: "Ability?"

Aya Tsuji smiled.

With such a smile, the double of the beautician gradually appeared beside her.

"My "Cinderella" is a stand-in that can modify the face and body, not only that, but can even change a person's love fortune to a certain extent.After all, I am not just a beautician for lust and money. If possible, I would like to be the witch who brings happiness to people in the story of "Cinderella".

"It's just that what you need now is not love luck?"

"...?!"

Yoshikage Kira was startled.

Change appearance?

It would be nice not to blow her up after the wounds were treated!

As for love luck?

This kind of thing has no meaning to Kira Yoshikage.

"Please help me, Ms. Aya Tsuji!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kira Yoshikage bowed at ninety degrees.

This bow is the culmination of his mastery since he stepped into the society after graduating from university in [-] as a conscientious office worker.

Whenever there is a dispute between Kameyu Department Store and customers, Yoshikage Kira always bows deeply like this, exposing the back of his head to the eyes of others, exposing the back of his head to the eyes of others The grievances were all resolved.

Aya Tsuji patted the beauty bed beside her.

"Please lie down, Mr. Yoshikage Kira."

"Yes, Miss Aya Tsuji!"

Yoshikage Kira took a deep breath and lay down on the beauty bed.

This feeling is almost like being cornered by the villain in a comic book, but suddenly met the protagonist of the adventure!Although Yoshikage Kira has sneered at such stories since he was a child, but when he became such a protagonist, he suddenly felt so comfortable.

It's like putting on brand new underwear on the first day of the new year!

And the next moment, when "Cinderella" pointed his hands at Yoshikage Kira's face, countless "parts" surrounded Yoshikage Kira.

hair.

Eyes.

cheek.

nose.

mouth.

Chest muscles, fingers, and more.

even--

"What kind of body do you want, Mr. Yoshikage Kira?

"What kind of body can make you feel happy? Even if I can't change my luck outside of love, a body that suits my heart will definitely make my guests feel happy."

The witch who controls the ability to make people happy sent a question to the supplicant.

And the supplicant answered in this way.

"Give me an ordinary face, please."

"...Huh?"

Aya Tsuji adjusted her eyebrows.

It was the first time she had heard such a strange request after working in the industry for so many years.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems acceptable.

"That's right, after all, you didn't come here for beauty treatment, but to fight the people who chased you down. An ordinary and unfamiliar face is more suitable for your next actions..."

"That's it."

Yoshikage Kira said with a smile.

Not so.But there is no need to say.

And Cinderella's hands also fell on Kira Yoshikage.

hair.

face.

body.

Limbs.

Everything is changing under Cinderella's magical hands.

Finally, when Yoshikage Kira opened his eyes again, he was reflected in the mirror as a black-haired mature male.

It can't be called so handsome and handsome, but it can also be called good-looking.

Since the skeleton has not changed, there are still some shadows of the past from Kira Yoshikage's eyes, but if he has not personally experienced all that happened in "Cinderella", I am afraid that even the old man Kira Yoshihiro will not be able to see it. Can you recognize your own son?

But Yoshikage Kira suddenly noticed something in shock.

"—Even the wound has healed?!"

Yoshikage Kira watched this scene in shock.

Aya Tsuji shook her head: "The wound is still on the original 'parts'.When you switch back to your original body, you will still return to the injured state, unless you want to give up your body completely, which must be impossible?There is one more thing I must remind you——

"—the blood loss is not replenished.

"You suffered such a serious injury, you should have lost a lot of blood, right? If you have symptoms of anemia, it is also possible."

"... What about the duration?"

Yoshikage Kira looked at himself in the mirror seriously, instead of looking at Aya Tsuji, he just asked casually.

But the nails couldn't help but began to grow.

Aya Tsuji explained seriously.

"You don't need to change your luck, just changing your face is permanent.

"However, Mr. Kira is not willing to live with an "uncertified" identity, is he?Such a body cannot even perform normal daily life.Although I don't know what you are involved in, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I'd better not ask.If you come back alive, I will replace your face again. "

"……thanks."

In fact, when Yoshikage Kira asked about the duration, he had the idea of ​​killing Aya Tsuji and leaving only his hands behind.

But Aya Tsuji's next words reminded Yoshikage Kira.

There is no proof.

Even if Japan's household registration management system is a pile of shit, it is not completely zero. After all, you need something that can prove your identity in daily life.

Like a driver's license.

Like health insurance.

Right now, the treatment enjoyed by this body in Japan will not be fundamentally different from that of smugglers.

"Since Nero Zeppelin was able to investigate me from scratch in just a few days, just changing a face will not help the detective at all.

'If I want to live a stable life, it is not enough to just change a face. Only by completely eliminating Nero Zeppelin can my life return to the right track.At that time, it doesn't matter whether it is leisurely changing back to my original face, or forcing this woman to exchange my identity with someone else.

'After that, wait until the dust settles and have a good date with this woman's hand.

'Now this woman is still useful. '

At this moment, Yoshikage Kira felt his own growth.

In order to be able to actually achieve the goal, and even be able to resist the urge to date a pair of beautiful hands, how can this not be called growth?

"Miss Aya Tsuji, I'm leaving.

"If there are Italians who are close to two meters tall appearing around during this time, please be careful, this Italian mafia seems to be operating as a "detective" in Morioh Town recently!If by any chance he finds this place, just pretend he hasn't seen me. "

"……Um."

"Then goodbye, Ms. Aya Tsuji. If I come back alive, I will come to the store to take care of your business."

After leaving these words, Yoshikage Kira pushed open the back door of the beauty shop, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

You saved your life, Ms. Aya Tsuji.
