After waking up and regaining his body, although it took quite some time, Ziong MingDe finally adapted to his body again and completely mastered the rhythm of life as "Ziongzong", taking over "Ziongzong's" life in Kyoto.
In the early morning, walking along the serene and beautiful paths of Kyoto, looking at the cherry blossom buds about to bloom on the branches poking out from the fences, his mood immersed in a calm state like still water.
Yes, it was completely different from Ziong MingDe's previous living environment, a comfort he had never experienced before.
"Good morning, Senpai Uesugi~"
A girl greeted him as she walked briskly past his side. Ziong MingDe knew her name, Kurashige Yui, and he also knew her identity and everything that had happened between her and Ziongzong. He was confident enough to perfectly play the role of "Ziongzong" in front of Kurashige Yui without being exposed.
Since waking up, Ziong MingDe had been striving towards this goal.
In front of anyone who had interacted with "Ziongzong", he concealed his identity as Ziong MingDe and pretended to be "Ziongzong" to survive.
It didn't seem wrong to do so.
Ziong MingDe also thought so at one point.
But... no, it was wrong.
Only recently did Ziong MingDe start hearing opposition within his heart.
It shouldn't be like this.
Is there really nothing wrong with it?
No, it was completely wrong.
What was he here for?
Why did he borrow the persona of "Ziongzong" and escape to Japan?
"Ziongzong", why was this persona created in the first place?
Never forget the original intention.
And Ziong MingDe had long forgotten his own original intention.
He stood at the entrance of the school, amidst the continuous flow of people, looking at these people who were actually unrelated to him, some of whom smiled, waved, and said good morning, thinking that they were familiar with him, but he didn't know any of them.
And they didn't know Ziong MingDe either.
As a stranger in such a strange place, what was he doing?
"Yes, I came here with a purpose."
The desire that had always lingered in Ziong MingDe's mind had been unintentionally forgotten after he woke up.
And now, he had picked it up again.
Ziong MingDe's original intention.
As the reason for leaving behind Bian Yan's command;
As the opportunity to unexpectedly meet Ziongzong, a teenager who changed part of his worldview;
As the reason why he created the persona of "Ziongzong";
As the foothold for him being here, right now.
"Ziongzong? Why are you standing here?"
Uesugi Yui, who appeared out of nowhere, patted Ziong MingDe's shoulder from behind.
"Oh, nothing. Just didn't sleep well, feeling a bit silly, haha."
Ziong MingDe laughed foolishly, accompanying Uesugi Yui as they walked towards the classroom building.
However, this might be the last time Ziong MingDe attended school as "Ziongzong".
It's time to make a decision... a personality transfer.
A change had occurred within Ziong MingDe's heart.
