Once the clock struck 2 PM, Haruyuki slipped out in order to escape from the classroom’s usual cold atmosphere, and then changed his shoes and left the school grounds at his fastest dash.

He connected his Neuro Linker to the Global Net with a feeling of praying and check the anonymous mail box he had told to Blood Leopard, but—

“……Still nothing, huh…”

He understood that it wasn’t such a simple matter, but Haruyuki was still struck by huge disappointment and dropped his shoulders.

Kuroyukihime was already going to return from Okinawa the day after tomorrow, on Saturday night. Although it was a moment he had been looking forward to, now he also wished that she would remain longer in safe Okinawa for at least one more day.

In the interval of 48 hours until then, they had to uncover Noumi’s secret, eliminate the video evidence, and also get back Chiyuri. But right now, he couldn’t do anything else besides patiently waiting for information.

Tormented by burning impatience, Haruyuki hung his head downward as far as possible and walked down the path towards his home alone. Takumu had, as expected, not gone home with him and instead had gone to club activities today, since he had skipped for three days in a row.

He trudged toward his apartment home under the sky that seemed on the verge of rain, and at the moment when he went into the large entrance and looked up.

The back of a female student who was standing in front of one of the two elevators on the far-off wall at the end and was wearing the same Umesato Middle School uniform as him came into his view.

Short hair that came to her shoulders. A sports bag she carried slanted. Even just by seeing her from behind, Haruyuki immediately realized that it was Chiyuri. —However, why was she here, at a time like this?

Chiyuri was part of the track-and-field club, and ran around the track everyday right until it was time to leave school. The time when she returned home should have been two hours later than Haruyuki who was part of the going-home club. When he saw her in the classroom today, he didn’t see any signs that she had caught a cold either.

After that familiar back vanished into the elevator and the door closed, Haruyuki finally realized.

She was skipping club activities on Noumi’s instructions. In order to «duel» from the evening in Shinjuku, just like yesterday. In order to use her avatar as bait and attract the enemy, while continuing to heal Dusk Taker who hovered above in the safety of the sky.

“……Chiyu.”

While mumbling that, he unconsciously gripped both his fists tightly. Haruyuki didn’t understand this feeling that pushed up from the bottom of his stomach and that had the heat and density of melted metal. But, when he pricked that heat and moved, Haruyuki walked to the elevator, jumped in right as the door opened, and on impulse pushed as if jabbing the button for the floor two levels below his—the 21st floor.
