Back in the present time, Kogure's life was more or less back to normal, with the cases that he found rather meaningless. He got a call from a mysterious person who asked if he would like to return to the past. Since he haven't yet achieved his goal of changing his life, he said that he wanted to return. He was told that the rules are simple - he wasn't to tell anyone that he's from the future. At the police station, he met a girl who was charged for compensated dating, he told her that money was something to be earned through hard work, not realising that he was holding a book on horse racing at the time. She called him on his BS and said that he looked just the same as "that guy", referring to a man on television who appeared to be a ruthless corporate type. Less than impressed with the man on television, Kogure went to the washroom, where discovered that he had gone back to the past, and not just anywhere - he was in the female washroom of Teppei's cram school. He was discovered by Teppei's classroom teacher and taken to the staff room for a scolding. There, he discovered that the classroom teacher had been receiving disturbing "love letters", and advised her not to dress so provocatively all the time. (>.<)
