Past[]
As a child, Kotarou once won a race event using his rewrite ability. This caused him to be ostracized in class and attract unwanted trouble, so he decided to do badly during the next test, eliminating other people's suspicion towards him. Because his power caused him to become unnaturally stronger, he could not enjoy any sports activity.
During his middle school years, Kotarou was being dragged by his parents, who worked for Martel, to attend their meetings. However, Kotarou hated what they were discussing, and since he wasn't allowed to speak his mind about said meetings without being scolded, he grew distant from his family.
At night, Kotarou would hunt UMAs, but one night he went into the forest and encountered a dinosaur-like familiar. The familiar proved to be too powerful for him, then the Bayern Knights appeared and defeated the familiar. There he met their leader Esaka.
Kotarou is occassionally asked by Iko Fuku, a caretaker of a local orphanage, to look after a young Akane Senri. Around that time, Kotarou also met a young Kotori Kanbe, who had a bad impression of him after seeing him pick a fight on the street in order to help a young Haruhiko Yoshino get his money back.
She was also brought by her parents to attend to Martel's meeting at one time, but was able to convince them not to make her attend. In exchange, Kotori was tasked to take care of Pero, a dog who was abused by his previous owner. At one time, Pero escaped and went missing. Kotarou was able to locate him. Pero did not live long after that.
After seeing Kotori's perseverance, Kotarou then decided to stop going to Martel's meetings which resulted in an argument with his parents. He then decided to run away, asking Esaka to let him become a member of their organization, Guardian, and undergo training.
During the training, Kotarou was paired with Arata, Touka, and Nagai, as they were the people who had the lowest scores in the exam training. At first, Kotarou had very little confidence in himself, but it gradually began to grow as he connected with with his other teammates. They all became members by the end, except Nagai, who quit due to her low self-confidence and subsequent loss of powers.
He was sent to Kazamatsuri for an assignment, where he was given the fake identity of Bondo Kazamatsuri (風祭 凡人 Kazamatsuri Bondo), though he found it to be too obvious. He was not allowed to reveal his identity during the stay, as he was declared missing, but he encountered Akane who got lost, so he returned her back to the orphanage. He introduced himself to Iko as Bondo Suzuki (鈴木 凡人 Suzuki Bondo) instead. There he found out that the orphanage provides for children with developmental disabilities.
Their first assignment involved them stationed near an alley inside Kazamatsuri, but Arata and Touka became impatient and headed for the forest instead. Kotarou, concerned, followed them as well. In the forest he witnessed Mikuni, another Guardian, meeting his demise in a fight against the Earth Dragon.
Kotarou fled from the scene and found tiny footprints that lead him to Akane who was stuck at the top of a tree. He managed to get her down while being attacked by a hound familiar, but as he tried to escape her, he came across a newborn Key. But he left the scene and went back to Guardian HQ then makes lie for the report.

He then begins to experience strange phenomena, namely a strange presence around him and a "ghost" haunting him in his room at night.
At Kazamatsuri Academy where he studies, he continues to spend time with Kotori and Yoshino. During lunch time, he found a student outside the school building stuck on a tree and helped her, but he ended up seeing her underwear. This was caused by the heavy box she was carrying, which was too heavy for Kotarou but something she can easily lift. Finding it awkward to leave her carrying it, he insisted on helping her, which caused her to fall again. He later finds out that her name is Ohtori. The awkward events in their meeting, plus his allusion to the pattern of her underwear another time he met her, caused her to hate him.
That time, Kotarou was applying for Terra Magazine as a stringer for the Harvest Festival, which he needed a camera. While looking for a camera in the alleyway, he meets a man wearing contemporary clothing.
