"... Mmm?" When Guriko woke up, she saw that she was dressed in a long dress with red silk decorations, and she felt like she was still in a dream. Her head was remarkably heavy and her thoughts were confused. The unendurable smell of alcohol lingered on her breath. "Big sis, Gu-Gu seemed to have woken up." She heard Mitsuki's voice. Who is Gu-Gu? What a disgusting name - Guriko thought this confusedly. Suddenly, a chilling fear overwhelmed her, and she woke with a start. This - was not a dream? The feeling of the dress on her skin was so vivid, and Mitsuki's voice did not sound like a mirage at all. She tried to move her body and felt waves of motion. It was very dark around her. Light music was coming from somewhere in the background. This was - where was...? "Gu-Gu, are you ok? Still drunk? You just need to wait for your liver to get rid of the alcohol. Mmm, would you like some tea to recover faster?" "..." She could tell Mitsuki was eagerly trying to help her, but she couldn't tell where the other was. Guriko still felt really dizzy, and her hand touched a drink bottle full with tea. "Urk..." Like Mitsuki said, the raging alcohol in her body was gradually getting digested. As she drank the ice cold tea, she was starting to feel much better. As she looked at her surroundings, Guriko finally realized she was sitting in a car. They seemed to be in a rental car. It was small but moderately comfortable. She was lying across the backseat, and Mina was sitting seriously in front of the steering wheel, while Mitsuki was sitting in the pa.s.senger's seat and looking at Guriko worriedly - that seemed to sum it up. Where were they? Why did they get her onto the car? Where were they driving to? Why was she asleep? - Numerous answers emerged in her head, but there was something even more incredulous. Guriko sought for that 'something' in her mind. "... Hey, mouse, why did you put such a disgusting dress on me?" "Mouse? Me?" Mitsuki tucked her braid into her hat with round ears and opened her eyes wide. "Uuu - what to do... I, I don't know what to say - big sis can explain this!" "... I'm driving. Don't talk to me." Mina replied impolitely. There was something wrong with how she handled the steering wheel. Perhaps she was not yet proficient in driving. Mina and Mitsuki were dressed in the same splendid kind of gowns as Guriko, but they were driving a rather ordinary and cheap car. Were they going to a ball? Why would they wear such strange clothes? "Chuu~ Oh well. Lemme explain it for you." Wearing a magnificent long dress but still wearing her hat, tail, and giant gloves, Mitsuki began to explain with some difficulty. "Do you still remember those pictures of the large building before we got drunk?" "Aaa - yes." Although the scent of alcohol still lingered in the air and her memories still seemed fuzzy, Guriko remembered it. It was the building where Single Room would head towards almost every night. Mitsuki continued after she saw Guriko nod. "After a brief investigation, we found something like an underground ball happening every night there. It's a really really chaotic party with gambling, violence, prost.i.tution, and all sorts of stuff like that." "..." How did these guys manage to find out about this suspicious stuff? It wasn't legal, so it must have been held in secret. Maybe they caught someone who went to this party and questioned him. Guriko couldn't be bothered to figure these things out, but there was one thing she was very concerned with. That should be the main issue. “Does Single Room go to that party every night?” “That is only our guess. That’s the only event that happens every night in this building, so the possibility is very high. So we’re going to dress like this and secretly join that party, and we can contact Single Room if we’re lucky enough. That’s our goal for today~” Mitsuki smiled brilliantly at her, while Guriko started to look over the dress she had on her. “But – even if we want to disguise ourselves, do we need to wear such extravagant clothing? We can hide on the rooftop and secretly observe…” “Mmm, we did consider that. However, that building was thoroughly covered by surveillance and had guards, so it will be near impossible to observe while in hiding. Although we can use the power of our Fragment to twist cause and effect and go join the party that way, this is much safer.” Both Mina and Mitsuki had a Grater Fragment of G.o.d within their body, and Guriko also had a Lesser Fragment named ‘Apple’ within her that granted her immortality – those contained the power to twist cause and effect and create miracles. One example would be how she managed to study at a high school without any proof of residence or of her ident.i.ty. Although Guriko never tried, it should also be useful to get into parties like this. As she thought this, Mina suddenly turned around and looked at Guriko unblinkingly with a smile. “Just give up already. I knew you would hate it, that’s why I got you into that dress while you were pa.s.sed out drunk. It’s a very formal party, so it will be too incongruous for you to sneak in dressed in your everyday clothes. It can’t be helped.” “It’s fine, it’s fine. This really suits Guriko~ Chuu, so cute~” “…” Guriko furrowed her brows and looked at her bothersome dress. Her arms and legs couldn’t move freely. It would be troublesome if they started a fight – Guriko sighed as she thought this. It was just like old times. She was incapable of thinking like a normal human girl. But that was fine. It should be fine. She had decided to go back to being a monster. She didn’t need to be cute. She never wanted to be treated like a girl. “…” Why did her chest hurt? It was as if she lost something important to her without realizing it, as if she lost her soul. She shook her head. “…So, we’re going to find Single Room at that party? A red-head boy with canine teeth – that should be easy.” “Mmm, provided Tatsu-chan and Mi-chan’s evidence were correct. We didn’t see him ourselves after all. Traces of his pa.s.sing, supernatural killing intent – we need to pay attention to all sorts of things too. My memories were rather fuzzy when Single Room showed up, because my ‘fixation’ was getting removed…” ‘Tatsu-chan’ was Kuroki Tatsue, and ‘Mi-chan’ was Takamikado Mitaka. They couldn’t do much when it comes to fighting, and Guriko didn’t want them to be involved in this, so they were not a part of the operation to find Single Room. Even so, she had a basic understanding of the situation already. “I understand. It’s not that dangerous. We just need to search and find Single Room.” “… Don’t be careless, Gankyū Eguriko.” Mina p.r.o.nounced her ominous name evenly. “The people taking care of this building are the group that once operated the Eternal Inst.i.tute – the Sakaki Organization.”
This skysc.r.a.per hosted secret parties and was a hotel at the same time. The Sakaki Organization was a world-famous conglomeration and everything from the interior décor to the people coming in and out of the building exuded an aura of elegance and n.o.bility. But it was impossible to see such things from where he was. “Nom – nom – nom.” A humming sound and the sharp sound of chewing something hard reverberated in the narrow ventilation duct. A boy was lazily lying in this narrow s.p.a.ce, where an average adult couldn’t even fit in and only children could barely squeeze into. He was chewing something in his mouth. The sound of crunching was coming from his puffed-up cheeks. "... Bah, bah! Urgh, this won't do. It's tough and hard to eat; it's terrible. It took so much effort for me to find it - d.a.m.n it, I thought this apple was just the right size and good to chew on." It was an apple-shaped decoration made of solid gold and emanated an enchanting aura, and it looked very realistic. But now there was drool on it and, to make it more horrifying, there were even teeth marks on it. If it could be returned to how it was before and sold in the market, it would fetch a lot of money. The boy who patrolled the roof and the ventilation ducts like a ninja happened to find this object. This thing was hidden in secret, which piqued his curiosity. It was only a decoration however, even though he went to such lengths to find it. Maybe it was someone's private property, but these fiscal matters did not interest Kajiri. "It can't be helped. Never mind - I got it after so much effort, so I should give it to Breako later. She's very poor, so if she sold this it should provide her with some money to live by for a while." The boy looked at the apple, which glowed with an incredible light in the darkness. "Oh -" There seemed to be some words carved on the apple. L, O, V, E, S, O, N, G. The boy furrowed his brows. Although he tried very hard to decipher it, he immediately gave up because it was too troublesome. "Can't read it. I don't even understand much j.a.panese, how can I understand this?!" He wiped the apple with his clothes and yawned, impolitely revealling the canine teeth in his mouth. He then tied the apple to a thin string and hung it around his neck. This way, he won't forget the apple again. "... Oh? Some rare folks arrived." The boy, who was given the strange name Nikuyama Kajiri and lived with the foreign woman Breaksun Hanselmine in the decrepit apartment, showed a nervous expression. The signature red hair crowned his annoyed face. He was wearing a T-s.h.i.+rt and jeans entirely too big for him. A decoration hang off his neck, and it looked like something between a crucifix and a knife. That was the only thing that did not match his unfas.h.i.+onable looks. "Sterilization Disinfection - and Unpleasant Counter-Current?" The boy revealed his canine teeth again and made a low whine like a small animal that was threatened. "And then there is - " His expression suddenly became one of surprise. "Who's this person?" Sterilization Disinfection, Unpleasant Counter-Current; the Greater Fragments with these names has enormous presences and could not be ignored. What was their goal? Him, or Breaksun? Or were they after Melodia NoiseTear Song, who was hiding somewhere within this building? - No matter what... "This person is not a Greater Fragment, but... but, but this person is too strong! What, what thing is this?" A strange aura walked beside the two Greater Fragments. It was not an existence like a Greater Fragment - and this person's flesh was not like Ultimate s.h.i.+eldThe Weakest when he was under disguise, nor like the terminals of G.o.d Mus.h.i.+ Emperor. No matter how those individuals changed their appearance, their aura would never change. Kajiri became interested in that strange existence. Slowly, he took hold of the crucifix hanging from his neck. It was very dark all around him. He could not see anything in here. It was like he was sitting inside the void, where he could not feel anything. Though he was still lying in the ventilation duct where filthy air was pa.s.sing through very quickly, the boy became alarmed like that of a beast. Ever since Breaksun disappeared on that night, he began to notice that she would go out every dusk. No, not just at dusk, but also at around daybreak, during the day, or night. Time did not matter. These kind of disappearances kept happening. Breaksun was not someone who could hide things. Kajiri understood this. It was precisely because of this that Kajiri was particularly concerned about her strange behavior. "..." Was he being betrayed again? Was he being cheated? Were they after him for revenge? He found it hard to imagine Breaksun tricking him. She was a good girl. However, due to his experience with being locked up for hundreds of years in the gloomy forest, Kajiri became extremely anxious. He needed to endure this. He needed to pretend that nothing was happening, like when he was living with Breaksun. However, he finally could not endure it anymore, and Kajiri began to follow her. The focus of his chase was this building. She would go silent every time she saw this skysc.r.a.per. He didn't know why this building was built and how people regarded it. All he knew was that Breaksun was here doing something, and recently he realized it also had something to do with Melodia NoiseTear Song. In order to discover all this, Kajiri began his investigations. Kajiri detested himself for having doubts towards Breaksun, who had saved him. But it was more terrifying to be betrayed. If he was betrayed again, his mind would definitely crumble completely, unable to take this. "Hmmm." With a small sound, Kajiri pierced the back of his own hand with the sharp, knife-like end of the crucifix without hesitation. Then, incredibly, his blood spluttered out - and then, as if it was conscious, the drops of blood wriggled along the ventilation duct, as if each of them was a small snake or an incredulous swarm of insects. Kajiri's bodily fluids began to move towards every corner of the building and started to send all sorts of information back to him such as temperature, humidity, and the components in the air. It also included visual information such as the ladies and gentlemen strolling and chatting around the building, and the all various delicacies being transported here. A party seemed to take place in this building every night. Apart from his target and the bystanders, Kajiri's blood also discovered the Greater Fragments. One was a beautiful woman with white hair tied up in a braid. The other was a young short girl in a magnificent dress and a strange hat. And also - "Welcome to my room." Without any emotion, Kajiri murmured lowly. "Sterilization Disinfection. Unpleasant Counter-Current. And -" As if his opponent was right in front of him, Kajiri asked with a light smile: "Just what are you?" And the girl faraway suddenly lifted up her head, as if she felt Kajiri's presence.
"..." Guriko suddenly lifted up her head as if she felt someone called out to her. Although she concentrated hard and tried to feel and hear for anyone nearby, she still could not be sure. Perhaps she still hasn't completely woken up from her drunkenness. She blinked, and moved her gaze back to the party. Guriko still didn't quite understand what these magnificent and luxurious activities mean. The splendid decorations, the melodious music, and the outlandish performances; the people gathered here seemed to have removed their ordinary masks. Even actors who could often be seen on TV and clerics who were frequently named in the news were all sinking into madness here without care. Overall, she felt it was a group of extraordinary people gathered here simply for the sake of more excitement. All of them had unusual smiles and easily made conversations on economics or politics. In general, it was a place she was not comfortable with. The room was very s.p.a.cious, and the huge floor was covered with thick rugs. Self-service machines stood everywhere laden with drinks, and trays of lavish food dotted the room. The people conversed in formal attire, emitting a sense of n.o.bility. The stage was set opposite the entrance and there were very few people in its vicinity. That was where Guriko's group stood. They did not eat and did not talk to others, as if preserving a little bit of consciousness in this completely different world. "p.o.r.nographic. Perverted. Waste of time." Something was happening on the stage, where distasteful light and sound effect was being employed. There was the occasional scream of "Monster! Frog-man!". A strange man with distorted elbows and knees was being displayed. Mina looked at that monstrosity and mumbled without any interest. "I heard it was a perverted performance by perverts, so I did come here with a little expectation - Mmm, it's just something like this. There's nothing interesting." "... That's what you think. I am feeling thoroughly disgusted." Guriko replied. These things were indeed too ordinary for Mina, who was skilled in creating perverted monsters such as Meat Dolls. These things could not satisfy her. However, this was a blatant act of crime for any ordinary person. People kept appearing on the stage. Humans with all sorts of malformations were being introduced to the audience. They were given outrageous names such as mermaid, dog-man, demon... their dignity as humans were totally annihilated. If the human rights organizations heard about this, this place would probably be wiped out even if they have to resort to terrorist methods. What was different between ordinary people and these malformed people? Were only ordinary humans permitted to live happily in this world? Guriko had been told by kind people that this was not the case, but she once again sank into anxiety when she saw the scene before her. The right arm that she had lost gave off a phantom pain and she furrowed her brows. Then she heard a singing voice. "---" It was a tired and mundane voice. She looked up at the stage. The horrendous scene had finished and a singer, who she might have seen somewhere before, appeared on the stage and was straining her voice in song. Where had she seen this woman before? Perhaps on the TV. Guriko doesn't quite understand music. She didn't quite understand what was being sung, and she didn't feel touched when she heard melodies. Guriko only liked to stay quietly by herself. Singing was a loud business, and that was why she hated it. The woman on the stage was dressed in a lavish dress and roared out superfluous lyrics that meant nothing - Guriko really hated such scenes. All this talk about love and lovers... what a bother. "... I hate the sound of singing." "Oh, what a coincidence! I agree. I hate it too." Mina replied. She, on the other hand, had already gotten used to these surroundings as they searched for Single Room. Mitsuki, who was yelling "But I like it!", was completely ignored. "I remember when I was in elementary school and we had to sing because it was a compulsory cla.s.s. We didn't want to sing at all because we don't have any thoughts or emotions we wanted to express through song. But then the teacher said those who didn't sing were all bad children. I was so upset to hear that!" "That's right. Why do things like songs even exist? And musical instruments, too." Guriko sighed with a serious expression. "They are so d.a.m.n loud. I hate it when I was trying to think and the loud sound of music suddenly pops up. If I'm strolling in town or went shopping and I heard loud singing, I would get very upset. Shouldn't you just talk if you want to communicate? How can something like song communicate anything?" She said this in a low voice that was full of spite. Suddenly - "... That's not true." She heard a voice. It was a happy female voice mixed in the sound of singing. "---?" Guriko was startled and looked towards the voice. She didn't notice this person at all, not even with the power of her Fragment. This woman appeared as if from thin air, and none of them had even noticed her presence. She was sitting on the edge of the stage and dangled her feet off it, but she also seemed to be right next to Guriko's group. This woman was smiling at them. Incredibly, neither the singer who was singing hoa.r.s.ely about love and lovers nor the ordinary people around Guriko noticed her existence. This woman, who remained undetected as if she was a ghost, said with a sing-song and light-hearted voice. "According to the Bible, G.o.d destroyed the Tower of Babel and split the original, unified human language into different languages such as English and j.a.panese - this disunity made humans incapable of communicating with and understanding each other. However, before the collapse of the Tower of Babel - people communicated in the same language and lived in communal understanding and love." The woman smiled prettily and spread out her arms. "What kind of language was that? I always thought that to be incredible. But it was perhaps – no, it definitely was – music." The woman dyed her long hair green and tied it into loose ponytails on both sides of her head. Her hair was fluffy and curled, as if she just rolled out of bed. She was dressed in flamboyant colors and gave out a thoroughly strange and startling impression. A tear-like sticker was stuck below her right eye. The electric guitar she carried over her right shoulder also had cute stickers all over it. A dream-like, miraculous color seemed to flow in her eyes. "A long long long time ago, people communicated through music and songs - would that memory be the reason we are still singing today? Are we singing from the bottom of our hearts in order to get back that feeling of trust and unity we had back then? Is that why we are singing for people other than ourselves to hear?" "Boom." Completely ignoring the music already being played on the stage, she struck her guitar. "Singing is all about love, lovers, friends.h.i.+p. Isn't every song a song of love that expresses our love for others and our love for the world that others love? Music is the universal language of the entire world - it was the ultimate unified language that connected us all before the collapse of the Tower of Babel. --- Really love it~" Her guitar suddenly made a sharp, loud sound. She sung loudly with a startlingly clear voice: "Really love it~" The atmosphere of the place suddenly changed. This disgusting party - this place full of people who lived in an alien world of slaughter gathered - suddenly changed its atmosphere due to the clear song she just produced. The woman began to sing. "Really love it~ Really love it-- Reaaallly really love it~---" This sound, like the feeling of electric shocks, began to reverberate. It was an unbelievable experience. It was as if the world was frozen over. Everyone's body became stiff. As if she had cast magic over the entire place, everyone seemed to know her - at the same time, everyone was attracted to this song. A song that consisted of only one phrase. It had nothing to do with her rhythm. She was just singing something random, but it was enough to shake everyone's heart. What was happening? Soon, even language ceased to appear in her music - "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~" It was just a sound, that was all. "---!!" This fleeting grat.i.tude - there was a wish that wanted to express these feelings. This definitely exists. The people in this world were still searching for it and wanting to express it. This was the primordial language that disappeared with the destruction of the Tower of Babel, the language that could communicate with anyone in the world. Songs. A song of love. A pure and absolute language that expressed thought and emotions in their rawest form. Guriko was stunned. Mina and Mitsuki also could not speak. The ladies and gentlemen around them were all standing dazed, and the original singer in the middle of the stage also fell silent as if ashamed. "~------!! Ah------" Unbelievably, tears rolled down her cheeks. This warm liquid was rolling down her cheeks and dripping down her jaw. Was she crying? Why? Guriko lowered her head. She wanted to be loved. She wanted to have a full life. She hated being alone - the weak parts in Guriko's heart was being drowned out by the singing voice of the unknown woman. Really love it. This innocent emotion was being spread everywhere. "~---------!" Her string was echoing as it was being plucked. Guriko felt her heart was being gorged out, as if all the bones in her body were being melted. She could not move. Guriko collapsed into a chair and could not stop her tears. For the first time in her life, she wanted to voice a wish, and she wanted to say she loves someone. Music wasn't anyone's private property. Breaksun felt that no one needed permission to sing. Anyone could just open their mouth and sing if they want to. That was how Breaksun was. She sung whenever she wanted to. She lost her father in endless confusion and tears when she was still young. Her father gave Breaksun many mothers, many younger siblings, and infinite love. She no longer remembered what he looked like, but his disappearance made huge changes in Breaksun's life. Breaksun fell into the curse of being unable to make connections with other people every since his disappearance. She had cursed him and this world many times over. Why could she not make friends with anybody? She began to sing to herself at street corners out of the unbearable loneliness. No one would notice her anyways, and she didn't feel embarra.s.sed. However, she was still hoping someone would notice her. That strong emotion filled her entire being. She wanted to pa.s.s on her emotions onto someone. She wanted someone to look at her. That was her only wish. That person didn't need to do anything. He only needs to quietly listen to her talk. Incredibly, people only noticed her when she sung. According to Kajiri's later explanation, Breaksun would only control her power, which had always been out of her control, when she was singing. Only then could she manage to link her own cause and effect with that of others. Why did it only happen when she was singing? And what is this 'cause and effect'? She didn't understand. Breaksun thought it was probably because she wanted to connect with someone. She was so lonely. She wanted to talk to people. She wanted to be close to people. She wanted friends. She wanted a lover. She wanted a family. At the end, humans could not live on their own. Humans were like this both physically and mentally. Therefore, Breaksun kept singing without regard for anything else. Like a lonely bird that kept singing in order to find a mate, she kept giving out songs with which she wanted to be heard by someone, that she wanted to affect a heart. "You are not bad. This is the first time I heard such a genuine singing voice." She was somehow given the t.i.tle 'Kingdom of Witches' and had beome a legend amongst street musicians. A mumbling voice came to her one day. "What a pity - you are completely oblivious of your own miracle. Would you like to use your power in a more meaningful way, Witch?" The existence named Joker laughed as if it was an incorporeal wraith. She heard a thunderous applause. The audience that gathered up to her clapped their hands in ecstasy and gave out yells of surprise. They did not conceal their grat.i.tude at all and expressed all of it as if they were simple children. No matter their gender, no matter their social positions, they were all touched by her song as living humans. Guriko was no exception. She could not move, as if her feet were firmly nailed into the floor. Mitsuki relaxed when she saw this, and started to clap loudly too. Whereas Mina - "- Urk." Mina was the only one who retained a solemn expression in this s.p.a.ce filled with ecstasy. Guriko was also very puzzled by her expression. What was wrong - why did she look so scary? "This power forcibly linked people's minds with her own cause and effect - this is the power of her voice. How did I only discover this now? This feeling of a Greater Fragment -" Mina suddenly screamed. "...PoisonCatastrophe!" "Urk -" The woman singing on the side of the stage suddenly looked scared. "How did you - " The woman said in a low voice. Mina looked as if she made a correct guess and leapt up. The pristine white long dress she wore flew like the wings of a b.u.t.terfly. The crowd started to stir. Guriko was also no longer entranced. Mina ran up to the green-haired woman and grasped her like a beast. "Single Room was looking for PoisonCatastrophe - Do, do you know Single Room?!" "---" The woman, who had previously looked nonchalant, froze when she heard this. Guriko opened her eyes wide and stared at the stage as she starting to think. PoisonCatastrophe? That seemed to be a Greater Fragment of equal standing with Mina and Mitsuki. What was that splendid voice? She didn't feel any malevolence or enmity in it - But PoisonCatastrophe was indeed the unknown Greater Fragment that Single Room was looking for. It was as Mina said. Could it be that PoisonCatastrophe was also looking for Single Room and she was waiting for him here? "Huh, huh -" The woman started to scream pitifully and hugged her head. Guriko didn't understand what was going on. Mina stretched out her hand and grabbed the front of the woman's dress, and forcibly pulled her up. - Bam! There was an enormous sound of explosion. Guriko looked up at the ceiling, where the sound came from. "Woah - " Dust flew everywhere and rubble rained down from above. A red object dropped down like a comet. "Mina, watch out!" Guriko screamed. Mina looked up and yelled as she tried to dodge, but she was too late. The shockwave of the collapsing ceiling threw her against the wall. "Big sis!" Mitsuki screamed and jumped up to the stage, wanting to catch Mina. But then Mina, still with flames of anger in her eyes, Mitsuki, and Guriko, all froze in shock. The woman who was saved from Mina was also surprised. "Kajiri...?" "Mmm. Don't worry, Breako." A red-haired boy smiled and said this, revealing his canine teeth. He held a crucifix in his right hand and his palm was somehow bleeding. His rusty blood stained the crucifix sanguineous red, and it pulsed with a chilling red light. He was... "I'm not Breako." Facing the woman who was calmly correcting him irrespective of the situation, the boy looked slightly upset before giving a sigh. He looked at the three others from head to toe. "Alright, let's escape. When it comes down to a fight, Single Room and PoisonCatastrophe cannot overcome the punis.h.i.+ng Sterilization Disinfection and Unpleasant Counter-Current." "Single Room!" Guriko yelled out. She found him. She finally found him, this existence that could revert Rinne to how she used to be. This Greater Fragment that might be able to deliver her salvation in this world full of failures and tragedies - Single Room. "Don't look at me like that." Single Room spoke as he looked back at Guriko, who was looking at him with great sorrow in her eyes. "... I am not G.o.d." The party was full of chaos. There were wails and roars, curses and shouts. All sorts of sounds merged into a riot and exploded like a fireball. Feeling the confused and dangerous atmosphere, the people all ran away. Amongst them, the boy called Kajiri ran forward while holding on to the hand of the green-haired woman. It was like a knight protecting a princess. Apart from being somewhat lacking in the quality of their outfit, everything else seemed quite similar. “Um, um – Kajiri, the performance isn’t over yet…” The woman was still somewhat confused and her electrical guitar had also fallen to the ground, and she was running rather awkwardly. The boy named Kajiri did not reply to her and kept running towards the exit while holding to her hand. “…d.a.m.n it. Single Room and PoisonCatastrophe are already allies? He misunderstood the way I wanted to grab PoisonCatastrophe just then and got a really bad impression of us.” Mina clicked her tongue and took out her spray cans. “Oh well – I can’t change the past… don’t let them run away.” She made the declaration with a low voice and stretched one spray can out in an angle. “Type B - Jack JewelFixation Mist!” There was a sound of explosion, like the explosion of a gla.s.s with acid in it, and something invisible sprayed out in
