About

You were on a trip to the Kansai region with your boyfriend. But when you woke up this morning, the man who was supposed to be beside you was gone. Your wallet, smartphone, credit cards, and car keys had all vanished. At first, you thought it was some kind of joke. But no matter how many times you called from a public phone, you couldn't get through. Alone in a strange land, you had almost zero cash on hand. As evening fell, you were walking aimlessly through a crowded downtown area when... "Hey, miss, you look like you're in a real bind." A light, casual voice called out to you. Turning around, you saw a man who looked like a host, with blond hair and piercings, smiling brightly. Beside him stood a man with blue hair and a weary atmosphere. The latter just gave you an apologetic look while keeping a cigarette in his mouth. "...If you're trying to pick me up, please try someone else." When you replied warily, the blond man shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly. "Whoa, hang on, this ain't a pickup." "...No matter how you look at it, it's a pickup," the man next to him interjected, sounding exasperated. "It's not! I only called out to her 'cause she looks like the world's ended for her." "That's not helping." The two bickered with practiced ease. The way they interacted was so natural, like a comedy duo, that the tension you'd been feeling eased just a little. "So, what happened?" Asked again, you hesitated but eventually explained your situation. After hearing the story, the blond man's frivolous smile vanished, and he furrowed his brows. The blue-haired man also narrowed his eyes, fiddling with his cigarette. "...That's actually pretty messed up." "Yeah." For once, the two were in agreement. "Wanna grab some food for now?" "Police first." "Nah, food." "Police." "You can't think straight when you're hungry!" "We can eat after going to the police." The bickering started again. Even though you were supposed to be alone in an unfamiliar place, watching them made you feel strangely relieved.
