Ren opened the door, and Sakura stood in front of it.
But behind Sakura, there were two people.
One was Kaito, whom Ren had met once.
The other was... a middle-aged man who resembled Kaito by 70% and appeared to be his father.
Ren was stunned for a moment and then asked curiously: "Sakura, what are you doing... and who is this uncle?"
Hiroki Sato was very excited to see Ren.
He was sure that the Ren in front of him was his brother's only son in the world: Kaito Sato!
Just now, Sakura had told him that Ren must have lost his memory and couldn't remember the past.
So it's normal for him not to recognize his uncle now.
"Kai... Ren."
Hiroki Sato almost couldn't help but shout "Kaito," but he remembered in time what Sakura had just said and held back from shouting the original owner's name.
But he still looked very excited.
Just as he uttered the word "Kai," Ren felt a chill run through his body from his tailbone.
He felt his body seemed to be a little out of control, trembling slightly.
'This is...'
Ren suddenly understood something. 'Could it be that what Kaito had said before was true, and that the original owner of this body was named Kaito Sato?''And that Kaito and the middle-aged man in front of him, who resembled Kaito, were his relatives?'
At that moment, Sakura and Hiroki Sato also noticed that something was wrong with Ren.
Ren's face turned a little dull, and his hands seemed to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ren!"
Sakura, panicking, grabbed Ren's trembling hands.
'Could it be that Ren was really stimulated and remembered those unbearable past events?'
"I'm fine."
Ren took Sakura's hand and patted it naturally to comfort her, but he didn't let go.
Sakura felt the warmth of Ren's palm and saw that he didn't seem to have any stress symptoms, which relieved her a little.
Then she looked at Hiroki Sato and said: "It seems this is my... my former senior?"
Hiroki Sato immediately looked at him with emotion: "Kaito Sato! Do you remember your uncle?"
"No."
However, Ren said helplessly: "I just guessed. I should know you, and this... classmate said he was his brother."
"It seems all this is true," he said softly, trying to suppress his body's reaction after Hiroki Sato uttered the original body's name.
"I'm sorry."
Ren suddenly said: "This uncle... uncle, but my name is no longer Kaito Sato. The name Ren is a good name, and I will continue to use it from now on."
In fact, he apologized for occupying this body.
Even if his soul doesn't occupy it, it will die.
But it's better to be grateful when occupying someone else's body.
As for the name, this was also changed by the original owner, so he won't change it back.
It's more comfortable to continue using his original soul's name.
"Really?"
Hiroki Sato was a little disappointed, but still said: "But it's fine this way, you don't have to think about the past."
"You can tell me something about it; to be honest, I'm curious about what kind of person he was before."
Ren spoke at that moment.
This made Sakura a little nervous, but thinking it was her idea, she didn't object.
"After a while...", Hiroki Sato shook his head and whispered: "I can tell you about the past... slowly. I will put the best expert ripperdocs in Japan to help you slowly recall past events. I want to make sure you are okay."
"Kai... Ren, your safety is always the most important thing to your uncle."
Ren thought about it and nodded: "Okay." "Then wait
for me to finish my work and then we'll talk about the past."
Hiroki Sato nodded and then said: "But before that, I'll give you the things your parents left you...".
"Here are the properties and deposits your parents left in the imperial capital, as well as some company shares, etc. I'll have someone deliver them to you...".
He took out several property certificates, passbooks, and bank cards in front of Ren...
"And this is the money your uncle gave you. There's one million yen on the card. Although it's a little less, it's a small gift from your uncle...".
Ren looked at the pile of things in front of him and slowly opened his eyes.
With the arrival of the weekend, the Tokyo subway was a little quieter.
But there are still many students and office workers who decide to go out on weekends.
Kenji Tanaka looked at the large colorful poster in the subway in front of him. It was the promotional poster for "Edgerunners". On the poster, all the characters from "Edgerunners" appeared, including David, Lucy, Rebecca, Kiko, Falco, and the deceased Maine, Dolio, and Pira. Below, it read in italics "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners".
There were also several slogans: "The final episode of Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners! Awesome!" "The fierce final battle in Arasaka Tower! The legend that carries everyone's dreams!" "Lucy, I'll take you... to the moon!" "This is our... last trip to the moon!"
In the next two weeks, "Edgerunners" is about to release its final episode.
This complicates the situation for Kenji Tanaka and other manga fans.
In recent episodes, the plot of "Edgerunners" has been tense and climactic.
Kiko betrayed the team and decided to cooperate with Faraday to capture Lucy and prove her loyalty to Arasaka Corporation.
At the same time, they followed Arasaka Corporation's orders and used Lucy as a hostage to force David and Rebecca to attack the military technology transport vehicle.
As a result, David obtained the powerful prosthetic suit secretly developed by Arasaka Corporation: "Cyborg".
David, who was originally Arasaka Corporation's experimental candidate to test the actual combat data of "Cyborg", had it implanted and various data were tested.
David met expectations and defeated the military technology combat troops with the powerful "Cyborg".
At the same time, after dealing with military technology, he decided to go directly to Arasaka Corporation's headquarters, Arasaka Tower, to rescue Lucy.
However, after David used the powerful "Cyborg", his cyberpsychosis worsened.
Just as the ripperdoc said, he's about to become a cyberpsycho...
Fans almost know that "Edgerunners" seems to have a tragic ending, and that this remains unchangeable.
But... they still didn't give up watching the ending of "Edgerunners".
Kenji Tanaka had already reserved this issue of "Manga World Gogo" two weeks ago, so this time he went straight home and took the latest issue of the manga magazine from the mailbox.
The cover of this issue is "Edgerunners". David turned his back to the fans and looked at the imposing building in front of him.
