Toya was heading towards the collapsed building in accordance with the orders given to him.His blue-lighted motorcycle was making noises among the deserted sands. Finally, he had come very close to the building. He got off his motorcycle and adjusted his mask.

"Huh? So that thing finally arrived at my house?" Akito whispered to himself. "What kind of person did they send this time? I wonder." he thought.
He put his hands in his pants pockets. He was idly pacing around the second floor of the ruined building.
He felt a breeze right next to his left ear. "Ah hah!They are here." he thought. He reflexively tilted his head to the right. Everything happened in seconds. A blue knife had missed his neck.
He turned around and encountered a male figure jumping at him. The boy in blue had not fallen right on him, but 2-3 steps ahead of him. Akito missed a few bullets from his gun without taking his hands out of his pockets.
"Did they send a kid this time? He doesn't look talented at all!" Akito said provocatively. The boy in blue put his gun in his pocket and jumped on Akito. Akito had not expected this move. He was punched in the left cheek. Then in the right cheek, and then he was able to stop the punch with his hand.
He examined the boy's face closely. Both of them were out of breath, they waited like that for 1 second. The boy pulled his hand away and took his gun out of his pocket. Before he could point the gun, Akito grabbed the boy by the shoulders and threw him to the ground. Akito was now on top of the boy.
The boy's momentary lapse into emptiness had cost him dearly. He had also dropped his gun. Akito began to speak. "Let me explain everything to you, handsome boy. Killing me is a mistake. Listening to what you are told, all of this is a mistake."
"Shut up," the boy said in a cold voice.
"They won't send me someone weak. Either it's your first mission, or you don't want to kill me..." Akito said. It was as if he read the boy's mind just from his eyes. He reached out and took the boy's gun. He put the gun in the boy's hand.
Blue boy hesitantly pointed the gun at Akito. There was no fear in Akito. Blue boy dropped the gun.

Toya let out a breath. His hands were shaking. He was right. He couldn't do it.
His questioning of the system's orders hadn't just begun. He had been questioning his mind for a long time.
Akito started laughing. Then he leaned over to Toya's ear. "I know you missed the knife on purpose." he whispered. Toya's eyes widened.
Akito Shinonome has superior combat skills. He's the same age as you. An expert in reading body language...
"It wasn't on purpose." Toya said, maintaining his cold voice.
Akito pulled back. He looked at his mask. "Oh! Come on! They told you that lie too, didn't they?" Akito said angrily.
Toya preferred to remain silent. Akito "Take off that mask so I can see your beautiful face, handsome boy." Akito said smiling.
You can't take off the mask. The air there is deadly. Akito is a monster.
Toya took off his mask.
And nothing happened. Just as he had predicted.
Akito laughed again. "I like you. You must be a very questioning person. Besides..." Akito leaned towards Toya's ear again. "I know you're better at fighting than this." he said and pulled back again.
Toya was trying to put everything in his head. What would happen now?
"What do you want?" he asked Akito.
Akito finally got off Toya. Even though the strange attraction between them said otherwise.
"Let them stop trying to kill me. A comfortable life. Maybe a lover..." Toya interrupted Akito.
"What do you want from me?" he said clearly.
Akito sat down right next to Toya. He crossed his legs.
Akito suddenly turned his head to Toya while looking at the wall. "Do you want to run away?" he said excitedly.
Toya looked at him and could only say, "What?"
Akito excitedly began to explain his plan. "...your motorcycle will help us a lot. And that's it." he said.
Toya remained silent while listening to the whole plan. Going far away, huh?
Toya shook his head in the negative. "Why should I trust you?" he said and looked into Akito's green eyes. He couldn't help but trust those eyes.
"Because you want to trust." Akito said and smiled.
Toya stood up. He walked a few steps. Then he stopped and looked at Akito.
"What are you waiting for? If I remember correctly, the first step of your plan is to get out of this building," Toya said.
Akito followed him with a smile.
