“Perhaps the president is inside that giant cave cricket?”

“Precisely.”

“The cave cricket is…I see. The president’s visualization of a source of fear, correct? Defeating it should cause this alternate space to collapse. Am I wrong?”

“You are not.”

“I appreciate the metaphor that’s easily understood. That should make this quite simple.”

“No, it’s not easily understood. No, this isn’t simple. Explain everything so that Asahina and I know what’s going on.”

“We don’t have time for that right now, though.”

“Don’t emphasize the last syllable like that. Stop smiling all gentle-like. Throw that red ball somewhere else. And do something about Asahina wrapping herself around my waist. I’m about to lose it.”

“Eek…”

The trembling Asahina had taken away my ability to move. At this rate, I won’t be able to escape

“That won’t be necessary. It won’t take long. I just know it somehow. This appears to be much easier than hunting Celestials.”

The cave cricket had finished materializing and I was worrying about whether it would suddenly jump toward us. I wonder how many meters it can jump. I kind of want to measure…No, not really.

I was blunt.

“Get it over with.”

“Roger that.”

Koizumi launched the red ball and whacked it like he was serving a volleyball. The red handball flew off with impeccable accuracy as it crashed into the front of the cave cricket and made a sound like a paper balloon popping. A pretty stupid method of attacking, but our opponent appeared to be pretty stupid too. I was expecting some form of counterattack, but the cave cricket didn’t run, jump, or make any weird roaring sounds. It just sat there in silence.

“Is it over?”

Nagato nodded in response to Koizumi’s question. That didn’t take long.

The giant cave cricket began diffusing into its original state of mist and started to fade. The ocher mist trembling around us also began to disappear. Along with the chilling sensation under my feet.

A male in a familiar uniform appeared as a form of compensation, I suppose. The president of the computer society collapsed faceup. He looked like he had fallen out of the chair in front of the computer rack as he lay there with his eyes closed. It appeared that he was alive. Koizumi leaned down next to him and placed one hand against the president’s neck before nodding to me.

We were back in the room in the studio apartment. Makes you wonder where that huge space came from.

In any case, I’m feeling quite relieved. I’ve had enough of being trapped in wide-open spaces, whether they’re gray or ocher.
