The weather in late autumn is already quite cold. At this time of year, the artificial peninsula beach in the south of Minamiboso City is basically closed to the public.

Therefore, this morning, the beach was empty.

Until... there was a figure washed ashore by the sea.

He was a young man in his twenties with short black hair. At this moment, he only had a black shirt and a pair of shorts on him, because when he was in the water, he had already removed the jacket and shorts that hindered his movement. I took off my jeans, belt, shoes and socks...

However, even though he took off his extra clothes and even though he was good at water, he still lost his strength and drowned when he was still quite some distance from the coast.

After all... the place where he fell into the water was really far from the coastline, and he was injured.

But he came ashore anyway.

Call it a miracle or a coincidence, the ocean currents and tides just returned a young man who should have died in the sea to the land, as if... even "death" itself hated him.

"It's really there..."

Shortly after Sakaki was washed ashore, a sturdy man with a beard appeared on the beach and muttered something when he saw Sakaki.

This man looks to be about forty years old. Judging from his face and hair, he is a typical European race. Not only is he tall, but he is as strong as an ox; the muscles on his back are so thick that they seem to be bulletproof, and his arms are as thick as an average person's legs. Coupled with his beard, he looks like something you can only see in a fighting game. The kind of standard strong man character.

"So... isn't it just to carry someone to the hospital? Why do you need me to help..." The strong man said to himself in a complaining tone while approaching Sakaki.

Just when he was about ten steps away from Sakaki, suddenly! In that cloudy sky... there was a flash of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning hit the strong man accurately.

A few seconds later, there was thunder, but the strong man still stood there, unyielding.

At this time, because his clothes were torn due to lightning strikes, the skin on his back was exposed. It was also due to the impact of lightning... A large, bright red "electricity" shaped like plant veins suddenly appeared on his back. Pattern".

However, apart from these changes, he seemed to be... fine.

"Damn..." This was the only thing he said after being struck by lightning.

After he finished cursing, he was silent thoughtfully for a few seconds, and then... he actually smiled.

After laughing for a while, he looked up at the sky again, took a few tentative steps forward, waited for a few seconds, then walked to Sakaki's side and checked the latter's pulse; after confirming that Sakaki was still alive, he He carried Sakaki on his back and headed towards the nearest hospital.

There was only one security guard at the entrance of the beach. When he saw a disheveled strong man carrying another disheveled man walking out of a public place that had been closed for many days, you can guess his mood and thoughts.

Anyway... After hesitating for a few seconds, the security guard decided to pretend he didn't see anything.

To make a long story short, Sakaki woke up in a hospital bed more than two hours later.

Although he asked many people, no one knew who sent him here. He only knew that the man was a strong white man.

Of course, Sakaki didn't have no clues about the identity of this "savior", because the other party left a black card with an inverted cross on his bedside, and there was a number on the back of the card. ——"13".
