“We don’t have time to wait for a chance to contact Tsuchimikado. And the Amakusa can’t be here right away, right? So we have no choice but to force our way through those people and head for the Palace of the Popes. If the enemy knows we’re here, they may not stay here for long. Even if they flee back to the Vatican, they may continue to use the C-Document. Letting them bring the C-Document back to their headquarters can only be a bad thing. I’m a complete amateur at this kind of thing and even I can figure that much out. We need to destroy it here and now!!”
Itsuwa hesitated slightly, but finally nodded in Kamijou’s direction.
She had decided that they didn’t have time to wait for the Amakusa spread out throughout France to gather here.
As they spoke, hundreds of rioters drew near down the small road.
It was a solid wall made up of humans like the inside of a crowded train.
“…Stay crouched down as we go through,” said Itsuwa quietly as she looked at the rioters. “If our heads stick up above the crowd, we could easily become targets. We’re less likely to be spotted if we hide behind all the people around us. Even if this riot is the enemy’s way of stopping us, they don’t have any precise control over it.”
“Got it,” said Kamijou as he felt strangely nervous. “Here we go.”
As he said that, Kamijou and Itsuwa ran straight toward the rioters.
The rioters were as tightly packed as a wall, but they managed to cram themselves into their midst. There were just too many people to run. They could barely walk and at first they could only make it a few meters.
Someone screamed and hit Kamijou’s head.
He managed to move forward, but fat fingers grabbed his shirt.
He continued forward recklessly. He bit at the arm grabbing him, shoved his shoulders against the wall of people, and walked forward with people still clinging to him. He felt fingernails pierce his side and blood oozed out. He could smell the body odor of men who had been worked into a frenzy. The screaming exploding in his ear and the pressure of people pushing into him from every direction gradually ate away at his consciousness.
(Damn it…)
Kamijou’s legs started to weaken.
He was losing the power to move forward.
(Damn it…!!)
Just when he felt like he was going to be swallowed up by a mass of disgust, the wall of people suddenly thinned out.
Now that the air was not made up of the exhalations of others, he breathed in the fresh oxygen deeply.
“A-are you all right!?” Itsuwa asked from nearby.
There was a drop of blood running down from her temple. Apparently, she hadn’t been able to get through the mass of people unscathed either. She did have her spear in her bag, but she must not have wanted to swing it around here.
Kamijou started running out of the crowd of people while breathing heavily. His feet were wobbling and he felt a little shaky.
