Before Mizuki could steady himself after stepping back, he heard Manji say calmly, "Same here."
"I don't remember Mizuki being like this in the original story."
Manji spoke calmly.
At those words,
Mizuki froze on the spot.
His mind rang as though something had struck it hard.
The original story...
This guy actually mentioned the original story, too.
Mizuki's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his voice trembled. "Could... could it be... you're... you're an Otherworlder, too?!"

Mizuki abruptly raised his head, his fear instantly replaced by arrogance as he shouted at Manji:
