Kouki Arakawa’s Point of View — 18 Hours Earlier

Despite not being made by Noa, and despite not even being turned on, the military-use powered suit was more than enough to absorb the impact of my landing.

After the impact, I couldn’t hear anything going on around me. I knew I’d successfully been launched into the river from the 83rd floor, but that was it.

The problem is what to do now. Is the gun I was given safe in my belt? After leaving the suit, I’ll need to shake the water out of it, but it’s Russian-made, so it should still shoot. I’ll be in trouble if it won’t shoot. Then I’ll need to remember everything Macho Man taught me about how to flee an enemy within a city.

“Let me think... I can’t carelessly fire a weapon in crowded civilian areas,” I murmured. “Just drawing a weapon will cause a panic, and that panic will attract the attention of my pursuers. I also need to make sure I don’t act suspicious. My pursuers will be looking out for people acting strangely.”

This is fine. I know I can escape. And if I don’t call for an extraction team from somewhere safe, Anton and I could both die. All right, here goes.

Having mentally prepared myself, I used the suit’s emergency purge system, causing a hatch to be vigorously blown off the suit. The suit immediately began to fill with water.

Even though it was August, the water was still cold. I had no choice but to endure it as I held my breath and waited for the force of water flowing in to subside so I could exit the suit.

Looking up, I could see the lights of Moscow shining on the surface of the water.

According to the lieutenant colonel, the water was 15 meters deep, so I didn’t think I’d have trouble holding my breath long enough to reach the surface. I kicked my legs and struggled toward the surface, but my clothes were wet and heavy.

At length, I broke through the surface. Barely able to keep my head above water, I swam as far as a waterway that connected to the river and grabbed onto a ladder that went up to the shore.

“I thought I was going to die,” I said, gasping for air. “No way am I ever doing that again.”

The water that had entered my nose was still stinging as I climbed the ladder up to a footpath where I found a woman in her 50s watching me with suspicion.

I smiled awkwardly and tried to explain myself.

“I got drunk and fell into the river,” I told her in Russian, taking care not to speak with an accent. “The water’s so cold at night.”

She was still watching me in surprise. “I heard a loud noise that sounded like something falling into the river and came out to take a look.” She spoke to me like a mother scolding a child. “You know that falling into the river while drunk could kill you? And you’re just a boy.
