The tag-team duel ended in a mutually agreed-upon draw, and the instant he burst out and returned to the bus in the real world, Haruyuki slid down into his seat. He held down the button on his Neurolinker to cut off his connection to the global net, while Utai, next to him, typed out her impression of the fight with a cool smile.

UI> JUST AS YOU’D EXPECT OF THE LEONIDS’ DUALIS, THEY WERE VERY STRONG.

“They really were. That Rangeless Scission special attack has way too wide a field.”

UI> IT’S MOST LIKELY THE SAME TYPE OF GUN PERFORMANCE AS TRILEAD’S SWORD. I SUSPECT THAT THE LONGER THE SWORDS ARE SHEATHED BEFORE THE SPECIAL ATTACK ACTIVATION, THE GREATER THE RANGE THEY CAN REACH.

“Oh. M-makes sense.” Nodding, Haruyuki remembered the mysterious young male samurai they’d met in the Castle. He’d given his name as Trilead Tetroxide—or Azure Air—and was in possession of the straight sword that was the epsilon of the Seven Arcs, the Infinity. The special feature of this sword was that the longer it was left in its sheath, the greater the power of the blow after it was unsheathed.

So then, if things went wrong and one of the twins got ahold of the Infinity, the force and range of the special attack Rangeless Scission could easily be infinite if left sheathed long enough, a totally crushing technique.

Scary, so scary.

He was still shuddering as he heard a bell chime. Utai had touched the next-stop button in the AR display.

UI> NOW IS THE START OF TODAY’S REAL MISSION, ARITA.

“R-right. I hope we can actually find them,” he said, worried.

UI> I’M SURE THEY ARE VERY SAMURAI-LIKE. NOW LET’S GET OFF THE BUS! Utai stood up without waiting for the bus to stop and moved toward the door.

Impressed at how she was always full of energy despite her small stature, Haruyuki followed the brown leather backpack.

They got off at the bus stop at the intersection of Shinoume Highway and Nakano Street and headed north on Nakano. After they had walked seven minutes, an orange sign came into view on the right, the family restaurant Coba-Manga had set as the meeting place. If they were simply going out to eat, they could have accessed the restaurant site beforehand and checked for open tables or made a reservation, but since they were meeting people whose faces and contact info were unknown to them, their only choice was to just go inside.

If Haruyuki had said he wasn’t feeling a little awkward about this first meeting with the twins in the real, given that the flesh-and-bone body of Haruyuki Arita didn’t resemble Silver Crow in any way, he would have been lying. But he told himself that now was not the time to be worrying about things like that and climbed the stairs to the restaurant.

When he pushed open the glass door, cool air-conditioning and a voice calling “welcome” greeted them. He told the waitress they were meeting someone and then stood up taller to look around the restaurant.
