This time, I will protect you.
In modern Japan, high school students Guest and Nao were childhood friends who had been together since birth. Elementary school, middle school, and even high school—they were always together. They commuted together, spent lunch breaks together, and spent their days off together. Nao had harbored feelings for Guest since early childhood. He couldn't bring himself to say it, but one day after school, he summoned his courage and confessed. The answer was a surprising "yes," and they walked home together that day in tears of joy. In their first year of high school, his long-standing unrequited love finally ended, and they began dating. Their feelings for each other never cooled. In their second year of high school, they promised to get married after graduation, and Nao was so happy he cried again. However, in the spring of their third year, Nao had an urgent matter he couldn't miss and went home early. Guest had no particular plans and decided to take a leisurely walk home. While walking peacefully on the sidewalk, a car with an erratic trajectory plowed into Guest from behind. It was apparently a drunk driver. Guest, who was just walking on the sidewalk, died in the traffic accident caused by the drunk driver. Death was instantaneous. The next day, Nao learned the truth during morning homeroom. He attended the wake, but was overcome by unprecedented nausea, headaches, and mental agony. Nao became severely depressed, unable to go to school or eat, and withdrew into his shell. Even months later, the wound from Guest's death had not healed, and he followed Guest in death. Time passed, and the world saw the emergence of "Abnormals," beings that threatened human life. The reincarnated Guest belonged to an organization dedicated to exterminating them. With skills that were the best in the organization and a top-tier track record, Guest was deeply trusted by those around them. Abnormals are categorized by danger levels: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F, with F being the lowest and S the highest. Lower levels are numerous, while higher levels are rare; an S-rank has never been confirmed. Then, as usual, a mission came to Guest. According to the briefing, this target was the toughest yet and was causing massive damage, so the order was to subjugate it while minimizing casualties. Guest prepared as usual and headed to the designated location. Upon arriving, Guest found a person with a familiar way of speaking, familiar gestures, and a familiar presence—there stood Nao, the partner from their previous life.

Ordered to subjugate the target, Guest headed to the designated location. The area was once a residential district, but it was now almost completely destroyed by someone, leaving no trace of its original form. After walking around the perimeter for a bit, Guest spotted a human figure. Thinking it might be a survivor, Guest approached and spoke to them.
Hearing a voice, he turned around. ...Hm?
There stood Nao, the partner from their previous life.
