Chapter 2: Toki Shuugo

If your fangs have chipped, pull them.

If your claws have dulled, shed them.

For a disgraced and damaged blade that’s lost its place

Will cut nothing—not even itself.

—Excerpt from the Reverse Crux Record

The text Saitou Hitomi had sent was incredibly gentle in tone and content. She’d gone out of her way to not come across like she was blaming its recipient for not having contacted her in days, and she’d focused solely on her concern for his safety. It was a text that made it very clear how kindhearted a woman she was.

Toki Shuugo, however, clicked his tongue with irritation as he read the message, then shoved his phone back into his pocket without bothering to reply. He scowled, lowered his helmet’s visor, and pulled his motorcycle back onto the road from the shoulder where he’d momentarily come to a stop.

The hell’s she want from me? Shuugo thought as he raced along precisely at the speed limit, weaving cleanly between the cars ahead of him. The smooth, consistent movement of his motorcycle stood in sharp contrast to the disordered mess of his thoughts. His mind was sluggish and stagnant—and above all else, he was just plain pissed off.

Son of a bitch!

Shuugo was annoyed. He was really annoyed. He didn’t understand what it was he was so annoyed about, but that just annoyed him more than ever. All that he knew was when it had started: upon Habikino Hatsuhiko’s recent invitation. Ever since then, a distinct sense of inexplicable discomfort had lingered within his gut.

Shuugo had immediately and unambiguously shot the offer down. He had nothing to feel guilty about and no reason to hesitate to reply to Hitomi’s message. He could have simply reported his victory to her and waited for further orders from Kiryuu Hajime, just like always—

Ah, okay. I get it now. That’s what I’m so pissed off about, Shuugo thought, his expression twisting into a grimace behind his visor. Why the hell am I acting like it’s totally natural for me to be pals with those people?!
