(Busy time, at some news office)

"Hah…" a young woman in suit sigh deeply as her head sink down into her work desk. Her name is Ayako Aragami, a journalist from Hikari News. She's a good looking woman with mid-long silver hair and brown eyes, "I really cursed…" she said to herself as she sink further to her desk as she more depressed.

"Hey, what's the matter?" her co-worker ask her when she look at her state.

"You know, the usual…" she said as if it was normal thing to happen.

"Ah… the Boss don't accept your story again?" her co-worker said in sympathy, "Well, it isn't the first time you got rejected, right?"

"I know…" she answered, "Is not like he would believe my story anyway."

"Consider what your story is…" she looked at her news, "It's pretty normal for anyone wouldn't believe it. Someone actually able to touch and even kill the Noise? Sound like a dream in broad daylight."

"You and Boss aren't only one who told me that," she said as she raise her head and lay back to her chair, "However, I'm one hundred percent sure that wasn't dream at all!"

"Well, good luck with that! I still have some job to do so… let's talk about it again in lunch, alright?"

"Alright~~" she answered before her co-worker leave her out, "I wonder whoever that figure was doing now…"

(Meanwhile, in apartment somewhere, few hour ago)

"Zzz…"

A young man in sleepwear is sleeping with his head resting on computer desk. One can said it isn't comfortable place to sleep, but this young man seems not care about it as he keep sleep peacefully with his slobber almost fell from his mouth.

However, his peaceful sleep won't last longer…

"Nii-san, wake up!" A young girl with long brown hair tied in pony-tail and teal eyes barged into his room, "How long you will sleep!? Wake up! The breakfast would get cold!" she proceed to his place before grab him and shake his body.

"Ugh…" she got a reaction, however it isn't what she want, "500 more megabytes…" and he sleep again after that sleep talk.

"Nii-san!"

(Half minute attempt to waking up later…)

"Seriously…" the young man said as he eat his breakfast at the table, "Can you at least wake me up in gentle way?"

And not forget for introduction, his name is Tatsumi Kanjou. A young man with good build, messy short black hair and deep red eyes. He might looks sloppy, but you can't judge a book from its cover, right?

"That's your own fault, Nii-san," her sister, whose name is Rinko Kanjou said pouting as she eat her portion at the other side of table, "I know you're REALLY busy a night before, but you can't sleep all day like that."

"Well, is not like I have thing to do in day time, right?" he said as he take another meal.

"This is why I asked you to get real job…" she said as she took another meal, "I know your current job can be work at home and has good income, but it won't work forever, you know?"

"I know… hah… what a day…" he said while sighed from conversation, "Anyway, how's the school?"

"Same as always," she answered, "Nothing change, nothing exciting, and boys keep asking me out."

"Same as always eh…?" he said as if it was normal, for the last part, "If it too annoying for you, I can do something about it."

"Please don't," she answered instantly, "Last thing I want in my last year at mid-school is someone got traumatized just by hearing technological words."

"Oi-oi, it not that bad, is it?" he self-defense, "Sure I sometime OVERDOING it, but is not like everyone got traumatized by it, right?"

"Yeah sure…" she answered as she know well about it, "Anyway, how's your night job?"

"Nothing change, same old night," He answered, "at least, this one without scream and unfortunately I save a journalist."

"Did they get your picture?"

"It seems, although I doubt anyone would believe that journalist," he answered before looked at clock, "You better eat that faster or you would be late."

"Thanks to you," she said sarcastically before finish her breakfast, "Alright, I'm done here. Make sure you wash the plates and finish that breakfast, and don't forget to seek another job!" then she goes to door, put her shoes before leave the place.

"As always, energetic as ever," he said before finish his dish, "Better finish this up before I start again."

Later, after Tatsumi clean up the plates, he dressed in black hoodie and grey track pants and going out for jogging. But before he leave, he took a device which resemble a close range weapon with gun-like gripper and a black pendant that he keep hanging up on his neck.

As he jogging around the town his eyes also keep looking and his ears keep hearing to surrounding area he pass on. His purpose is to know any new information or anything important that he can't get in internet. Might be sound plausible, but Tatsumi bestowed with genius-level talent of hacking any digital and electrical object, which can make him titled as genius hacker. However, he doesn't like that title much and he isn't put too much effort on it as he focus on train his body and mind. That's why he can keep balance between his muscle and brain all this years.

When he was jogging, he pass the Hikari News' building and look at it. He was searching where that journalist woman work place and found out she is work there. Even if it make him can calculate the information spreading from there, it seems won't go anywhere at moment as he believe that no one with sane mind would believe what she will say, which become his advantage for his information suppression. Although… he won't say same as in internet and social media.

"Better worried about it later," Tatsumi though before continue his jogging, "However… why I felt I would meet her sooner or later? Wait… did I just jinx myself!?"

(Few hours later)

"Finally done!" Ayako shouted after she done with her work, "Hah… I really need a break. Bear or two might fix it up."

After take her belonging, she walk out from her work place and going to her usual place to drink. So much happen to her, from survive against Noise's attack and not to mention her mysterious savior who she don't know his identity, yet, but with all of things happen, she think she deserve some refreshment. When she walk through the street near intersection, she doesn't see someone running into her from the other side and they end up crash to each other. The result is she fell down to her butt while the man who bump into her still standing due different physique.

"Ou…" she said as she rub her hurting butt.

"Ah! Sorry!" the man in question apologize before lend his hand, "Are you alright?"

"Um, yeah. I'm okay," she said before take his arm to help her standing up, "Thank you. Um…"

"Me?" He pause for a sec, "Kuro Nashinka. And you are…?"

"Ayako Aragami. Oww… this is second time my butt got hurt…"

"Um… are you really okay…?" he said in concern after saw her rub her butt.

"Y-yes! I'm fine!" she said abruptly after realize that she was rubbing her butt in front of man, made her face red a bit, "This is embarrassing…"

"Yeah, it is…" he said before look really close to her face.

"W-what? Something on my face?"

"No, nothing at all," he said in normal way as possible, "Damn! I really jinx myself!" he scream inside his head.

"Um… if you don't have any business with me, I'll go now," she said before bowing and walk away.

"W-wait—"

*Siren alarm echoing through city*

"Huh? Is this—" She said but cut off by Kuro.

"Noise alarm," he said, "Let's get away, double time!"

Ayako nodded before following Kuro from behind. When they're running to safest place, she swear herself for her own bad luck. First she bump into this young man and now Noise are coming nearby. If not by her luck, she don't know what to. However, between her unfortunate situations, at least she was lucky that this young man isn't coward who would just run away by himself and actually help her to escape too. However, she can't run that fast due her high-heels and result of the young man slowing down and approach her.

"It seems you have hard time to walk, right?" he asked which answered by her nod, "Alright, climb up," he offer his back.

"Huh?"

"What are you waiting for!? Get up to my back! It would make us go faster… except you want me to do princess carrying…"

"N-no! I don't!" she said before hop to his back.

"Ready?" he asked and she nodded, "Alright, let's get the hell out of here!"

Kuro began to running as fast as he can. Ayako who in his back can felt the wind pressure as he was running with his maximum speed, which surprising higher than average human can do. She also notice that how well his body is as her body is literally touching him, which make her face become redder and clutching tighter than before.

Meanwhile, Kuro who was running while bring a woman on his back is in the middle of war inside his mind. Due her body got closer to his, that's mean he can felt her breast touching his back. Inside his mind, his morality and pervert nature was clashing to each other with it seems more advantage for the latter. He might be not a pervert, but he won't deny if he have some interest on woman's body. At least in average level.

"However, why there's no Noise around?" Kuro though while he was running and look around, "This place is already deserted, but there's no single trace of them or even ashes fly around. What the hell is happen here!?"

As if his question got answered, he stopped suddenly after see what in front of him. A group… more like company of Noise appear in there, "N-Noise!" Ayako shouted from his back in fear.

"I know!" he answered before look back at Noise, "Their number… roughly around 150… too much, we can't escape," he calculated. Even if he run back, there's high chance that they would be able to catch them both. If that happen, that's mean game over for both of them.

"W-what should we do…?" Ayako asked in fear as her entire body trembling. However, the answer she got isn't what she expected. Kuro lower his body and signaled to go off from his back, "Why are you—"

"Just go off from my back," he said with serious tone. Ayako doesn't know what he want and just follow his order, "Good. Now, run as fast as you can. I will hold them off."

"H-how!? You can't be serious, right!? You will get killed!" she shout as disbelief of what she just heard.

"Don't worry about me," he said before his hand go inside his jacket to reach something, "It's not a first time I had dinner with death."

Kuro took out something from his jacket. It was the thing he brought before. A thing in shape of rectangular connected to gun-like gripper, with strange enough twelve button up from 0 to 9 with two extra button, one with pointed triangle-like play button when the other have two parallel horizontal line. He then took out his black pendant, remove it from its cord before insert it on the item.

[INITIATE-CØDE: S.I.N]

Then, he turn the thing upward to 90 degree, make it look like a gun before aim it in front of him. He takes a deep breath and close his eyes. Ayako can felt the calmness from him, as if he doesn't scared to impending doom in front of him, and she is wondered what he tried to do. Not long, Kuro release the air as he open his eyes before he says a magic word.

"Henshin…" he pull the trigger as large amount of black smoke fly out from his thing on his hand. The black smoke momentary engulf the surround before it suddenly move toward him, completely enveloped his entire body. With the black smoke on his entire body, only his silhouette can be seen and it slowly change its form as his eyes shine bright red.

[AFFIRMATIVE!]

His appearance change as he now donned in some kind of black skin-tight suit covered by some light armor on it. His legs are donned in black piece of armors up to his knee. His arms now donned in some kind of clawed gauntlet with exhaust part on it. His body covered in black armor with red pendant-like stone on his chest. And finally his head now covered in futuristic-looking helmet with two small glass piece act like eyes for helmet and the exhaust pipe in shape of wing on sides of his helmet. He looked forward before rotate his gun and aim toward the Noise.

"Now, shall we start the trial?"
