Matsuda Ika is a 17-year-old high school student with two older neighbors and a biological brother who died young, and a blonde guardian who is a social animal. Raised in an overly liberal environment, he successfully became the top delinquent at Teitan High School. Taken by his guardian to experience the summer program at Curse High School, he missed the school trip and returned as the only single child in his childhood friend group. To make matters worse, the waiter at Poirot Café, introduced to him by a friend, turned out to be the righteous passerby who had punished him that morning! The righteous bystander's pupils trembled. He was like he'd seen a ghost after being approached by him, wishing he could hide in the kitchen forever. Matsuda Ika, who immediately introduced himself:? Huh? This guy is not only preachy, but also discriminatory against this sexual orientation?! He was about to change to meet the new pink-haired graduate student who had just moved in. But before he could even see the graduate student's photo, the waiter who had fled appeared again, quickly turning off his phone. Amuro Toru: Then go on a date with me, Matsuda Ika-kun. Even if I had to sacrifice myself, I couldn't let my best friend's eccentric younger brother hit on the damn FBI! Matsuda Ika: Oh, he's the reserved type. == Amuro Toru found Matsuda's younger brother very difficult to deal with. First, he was a complete bad role model, rebellious and awkward like a little sea urchin, and he picked a random person every day to annoy. Second, he claimed to be able to see his brother's ghost and occasionally talk to the air. Furthermore, his relationships are highly questionable. He often spends the night with a white-haired, eye-patch-wearing man who calls himself his teacher, and returns covered in wounds. Finally, the new member of the organization, who calls himself a curse master and treats human life with indifference, looks remarkably familiar. Public security officer/waiter/Bourbon: Hesitant to speak.jpg Didn't this brat say he was going out with his guardian this afternoon? Why is he here?! Should he make an appointment with a psychologist first, contact the community to investigate his guardian, or just pack him up and give him a good beating? == Acting as an older brother, after arranging a year's worth of dates under the guise of a date, the blond public security officer goes to visit the graves of his former buddies as usual. Amuro Toru: I'll never harm your brother, don't worry. The date is just an excuse to discipline him and prevent him from going astray in the future. Six months later. Amuro Toru: How about you beat me up next time we meet? Officer Matsuda, who has watched the entire process in ghost form:... I'll beat you to death, you blond bastard! Theme: Illegal and criminal activities will be punished by law.
