[This novel will be available for purchase on April 14th (this Sunday), with a 10,000-word update!] [Recommended completed novel in my column] [My new novel, "Meeting My Childhood Friend at the Winery," is now available; please check it out!] The following is the synopsis: After several cycles of time travel, Matsuda discovers that, for some reason, his former colleagues always seem to call him before they die. Matsuda remembers that in his first cycle, his childhood friend died in an explosion while calling him. He himself died in an explosion four years later. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself back to the moment before his childhood friend's accident, kicking away his friend's lunchbox with a flying kick. Four years later, his lunchbox doesn't arrive as promised, but another dear colleague calls him: "Matsuta, I have something I need to give to Zero, but my current situation is rather complicated, and I don't dare contact Zero directly. I don't have anyone else I can trust. Could you please pass it on to Zero in a few days?" Matsuda: "?" And so he hears the entire story of his good colleague's death. In the blink of an eye, it was a new loop. Morofushi called him. Matsuda: "Don't speak yet, let me speak." Morofushi: "?" Matsuda: "Hiro-danna, you've been exposed. Do you need me to save you?" Morofushi: "???" How did you know that?? In another loop, Date called, and he indeed heard about a car accident. Opening his eyes again, it was another new loop. "Class Boss," Matsuda said with practiced ease, "Wait for me to come save you." Date: "...?" What happened to him? How come he didn't know? Matsuda: "Don't worry, I'm good at saving people."... After receiving numerous deathbed calls, Matsuda thought he would develop PTSD. However, in reality, Matsuda went from initial shock to gradual numbness. After all, watching those people live and die before his eyes, even coming back to life after death, he didn't find it so terrifying anymore. After all, receiving a death call meant he could restart and save people—why not? Of the five of them, excluding himself, three had called him before they died. Matsuda was just one police academy top student away from getting a death sentence, and he figured that if nothing unexpected happened, that guy would make him a last-minute call. So, one day, after receiving a call from that blond jerk, Matsuda's first words were: "Are you going to die? If you're not dead yet, then I'm hanging up." Furuya: "???" This guy is hoping for his death, isn't he?? Warning: The plot mainly focuses on Matsuda and the other members of the police academy group. Everyone else is equal and doesn't have much screen time; it's not that any particular group is being neglected. Qi Zai is just a background character; only Qi Shen appears. This story is a [loop] [reincarnation] [multiple cycles] type of story, and there will be multiple instances where people can't be saved. The characters' intelligence is limited by the author's intelligence, so please don't criticize the characters. I will revise the story irregularly. If there are any bugs or retconnings, please point them out, and I will make corrections (I won't care if it's intentional). —The following is the synopsis of the new story— Hagiwara died, and Hagiwara was resurrected. But when Hagiwara woke up, he found himself on November 8th—the day after his childhood friend died. The news replays on TV and the piles of unread text messages on his phone nearly overwhelmed him. Even worse, several of his other close friends subsequently died. Hagiwara gritted his teeth and signed another contract with System 996, who had resurrected him, sending him back to the past. Unfortunately, the earliest possible return time was November 8th, the day he woke up; he couldn't save his childhood friend. But to save his remaining friends, Hagiwara made a decision—in this life, he would go undercover at the distillery. = Matsuda died, and then Matsuda was resurrected. He not only lost all his memories but also became a high school student! System 007, who was joking with him, declared righteously: Only a high school student can save the world! So, go save the world, my host! 007 also identified the source of everything as an extra bottle of whiskey in the distillery and hoped Matsuda would approach him to uncover the truth. With 007's assistance, Matsuda successfully infiltrated the distillery and met the extra bottle of whiskey. —But why does this bottle of whiskey give him a strange sense of familiarity? And 007 tells him that this bottle of whiskey represents his childhood friend who should have died. = After encountering his childhood friend at the distillery, Hagiwara and Matsuda are very puzzled as to why the other is alive and present at the distillery, and they consult with their system. 996: It must be an evil organization that took Matsuda away on the Ferris wheel, creating the illusion of his death and erasing his memory, causing you, host, to be widowed for three years! 007: It must be an evil organization that took Hagiwara away before the explosion, creating the illusion of his death and erasing his memory, causing you, host, to be a widow for four years! Hagiwara and Matsuda think this makes a lot of sense, so they secretly vow: I will definitely take my childhood friend away from this damned organization! Theme: There will be times when you ride the waves, and you must save your true friend yourself.
