We are still in the security control room, the sights of the CCTV recording is still roaming around in my mind, thanks to Yuya-kun's effort, the picture was sharper and clearer and we've seen every detail of the incident...
In the recording…
On 08.50am Haruya past the vicinity of Junes on foot, I recognize her usual attire although the display was monochrome, she is wearing her usual over-sized red scarf over a black blouse, gray pleated short skirt over black stockings and her favorite white sport shoes.
The street was not very lively, probably because it is Sunday when most people chose to wake up late or stay at home, then a male around my age whose wearing dark pea coat was seen tailing her.
On 09.00am, Haruya was seen running inside the alleyway right across Junes, there she was seen holding her cell-phone -probably to make a call- but the cell-phone was thrown as the same male suddenly appear behind her trying to muzzle her, Haruya tackled him reflexively and hit himin the face, strangely the male wasn't hurt at all, in contrast he laughed and begin to corner Haruya, Haruya readied herself in stance but suddenly three other males appeared running to her -each of them had stun-gun in hand-, Haruya ducked and successfully rolled past the crowd, but suddenly another male in white suit and wearing some sort of rubber gloves appeared and choked Haruya, Haruya seen struggled but then one of the attackers struck her with stun-gun on her back and Haruya passed out.
Surprisingly, an ambulance appeared, but strangely the siren lamps wasn't lighted –which means the siren wasn't activated at all- and the crew appeared from the ambulance weren't wearing paramedic uniforms. They put the unconscious Haruya on a wheeled chair and entered her to the ambulance, the ambulance went away from sight and the other attackers spread out to every direction. The male in white suit left alone and seen throwing his gloves randomly in the alleyway, then a SUV –with all other attackers inside it- arrived to pick up the white suited male and they left the scene.
End of Recording.
"Who are they, Maiko-san?"
"Don't you know them Yuya-kun? …oh right, you are a transfer student after all…"
"What?! You don't say… they are students from our school?"
"Yeah, the seven men are the most loyal members of L1, all of them are seniors from our school."
"Hoshijiro Level#1?" I nodded to Yuya.
"We have to call the police." Kagawa-san was going to pick the phone, but I stopped him.
"Wait, sir… I don't think that is the best decision to make at this time, because-"
"Why? We have all these as the proof! Did you see what they did to your friend? That was unforgivable!" Kagawa-san angrily begin clicking the pads,
"Sir! Please, listen to me!" Kagawa-san reluctantly canceled his call, and glared at me.
"Miss Maiko, please… it's your friend we're talking about, and of all people, you should be the one to call the police, but why do you stop me now? *shot a hurtful glare*…You better have a good reason!" Then He slammed the phone on the table and took a seat.
I desperately bowing to Kagawa-san, "I beg you. Please wait a second Kagawa-san,"
Kagawa-san groaned and raised his hand in defeat. I gestured Yuya to come closer to me, "Yuya-kun, we are running out of time… umm… In my opinion, our best bet is the ambulance, we should find out whether the ambulance is stolen from somewhere or being hijacked or-."
"I am on it!" Then, Yuya begin typing yet again.
I don't know how we can find out such things only from a laptop, but all he did this far is amazing. Not like me… Yuya seems to be calm and optimist…
"I wonder… Why they after Mizuno-san?" Yuya's voice heard among the sound of his typing.
"I don't know… they never have problems with Haruya, never at all…"
I covered my face to hide my desperation while walking back and forth among everyone else. Then I sit across Kagawa-san. "Umm… Kagawa-san, I am sorry we end up using this room for awhile…" Kagawa-san nodded ignorantly.
"Yuya-kun, actually, there are two possible motives for Haruya's abduction. The first motive is kinda impossible, but IF their motive is money, at this moment Haruya's parents must have already been contacted by the culprit, so let's find out." I picked my phone and then made a call while activating the loudspeaker.
-beep-beep-beep-
"Hello, this is Mizuno household."
"Aunt Nanase? It's me Maiko, is Haruya at home right now?"
"Ah, Mai-chan~ if I am not mistaken, Haruya said that she was going to meet you this morning, so… is she not there yet? … Geez where is she…"
"Umm please don't worry Aunt Nanase, probably she is at the usual manga café, I'll go check it out right away, thanks and good morning Aunt Nanase." It feels so bad to lie to Aunt Nanase…
"Alright, good bye Mai-chan, please come over here sometime okay? It's been a while." It feels really wrong.
"Sure, good bye Aunty." –click-
Then I continue talking to Yuya, "Yep, their motive is not money, because Aunt Nanase knows nothing about the abduction, so… it must be the second motive… and this is actually the worst motive…" I keep shivering but I try to talk normally, Yuya looks worried, as if trying to encourage me to continue my words, he nodded at me. "The second motive is… they want to do SOMETHING to Haruya from the beginning, and worst… make her missing forever to clear the trace… so, if we call the police and after that the culprit noticed, they don't need a second thought to… *sigh*… kill Haruya on the spot." Yuya tried to hide his anger and continue typing.
Kagawa-san looks very angry. "Nonsense! Then what do you think you can do? I'll still call the police!" Kagawa-san was about to make a call, again.
"A-and sir… the leader of the attackers, the one with white suit is Takeshi Touji."
Kagawa-san was dumbstruck probably because he recognized the name."Takeshi Touji? You mean THAT Takeshi Touji? The youngest grandchild of Takeshi William Kaito?"
I nodded weakly, even Kagawa-san looks hopeless after knowing the name, "That's why… I don't think we have any other choices but to do something on our own." Then… only Yuya's typing was heard in the security control room…
Reminiscent
I mentioned the name Takeshi Touji before right? Yeah, he is the present leader of L1, and his grandfather Takeshi William Kaito is a very famous person. Famous is not the right word, for Takeshi William Kaito or better known as Mr. Willy K. is… dangerous. He is famous yet mysterious at the same time. He owns William K. Group, a mega company with several branches within and outside Japan which business ranging from insurance services to heavy machineries. As I concerns, Mr. Willy K. has been arrested several times and charged for major crimes ranging from corruptions to murders, but he always able to exempt himself from the law by proving his "innocence". So… let's use our wildest fantasy to figure out how he escaped the law for so many times… and I think, even our worst speculation is not bad enough compared to what he actually did.
End of Reminiscent
"Umm… cheer up Maiko-san… This is hard, but… we need to keep our head in the game don't we? … OH! I am sorry! It was just a metaphor… I never think this as a GAME… please forgive me Maiko-san *continue typing*."
"I understand… and thanks… Uh… by the way, I am surprised by your skills and the capability of your computer Yuya-kun, although your computer is kinda old isn't?"
Yeah, I remember my father used to have the similar model when I was in kindergarten. But Yuya's modified randomly, I can see that there're extra batteries, external modem with radio antenna attached on it, additional hard-disks, and some other unknown devices attached randomly all over the laptop, the cover even cracked with cables sticking out from it.
"This is the only computer I have Maiko-san, *chuckles* I never have enough money to buy the latest issue…"
"Haha… Probably because you spent all of your money to buy all of those Risette stuffs Yuya-kun."
"… You are right…" Yuya stopped typing for a while as if having a sudden nostalgia, but then he continues.
"Umm… You seem to like her very much… why I wonder?" I lifted my face and look straight to Yuya. "Oh! Sorry, you are busy aren't you, please carry on Yuya-kun. I… just… trying to calm myself by having a conversation." Yuya smiled understandingly while keep typing.
"It's fine Maiko-san, I don't mind, I am waiting for information and suggestions from my online friends anyway… I should be careful though, because there are possibilities that some of my online friends related to L1, but on the other side, that will be beneficial too… *stop typing* Um… about Risette… Yeah there are reasons for why I like her and why I admire her so much…" Yuya stopped typing and look blankly at the ceiling.
"Do you like any other idols too? Those Idol groups which is very popular lately maybe?"
"Nope, Risette is my one and only." Wow.
"So… why?"
"Because… I… I know Rise even before her debut…" Yuya keep staring blankly at the ceiling, but then he got a mail and continued typing.
"So… Are you her classmate or something? But wait, if that's the case, then you are older than me?!"
"Umm… actually yes… now I am 19, *chuckles* therefore it's a long story…"
"Wow now I am curious… that's interesting you know, but how is that possible?"
"I promise, I'll tell you later when the time is right… Well… Simply, I know Kujikawa Rise before she is Risette… I admire her even before she is a national Idol… You can say that she is my first love, *chuckles* but sure… she never knows my feeling… until now." Yuya then stops typing and looks at me in the eye. "Haha…You don't believe me do you? It's alright just forget it…"
I was about to ask further, but Yuya continues, "Umm… I guess I found something interesting, *clicking and typing* there's no report about ambulance being missing or hijacked at all… so, we can assume that THAT was a REAL ambulance."
"…? What do you mean?"
"That ambulance, the one they use to carry Mizuno-san is a real operational one, and it belongs to a private hospital owned by William K. Group." Yuya seems to know about Touji's background already, he had an optimist smile on his face. "I can track the attackers the same way as I tracked Mizuno-san's cell-phone,"
"H-how? We don't even know their cell-phone numbers."
"Well, I hacked some of L1 members, so I already knew all their cell-phone numbers, including Takeshi Touji's,"
"Wow…" I am glad you are not a stalker Yuya, because if you are…
"But yeah, if we call one of their numbers to locate them, worst case scenario they'll probably being aware… so… we got one shot."
"I understand… so there's also a possibility that they confine Haruya in a hospital owned by William K. Group, right? Scary… they even control the whole hospital to do this? How many hospital owned by them Yuya-kun?"
"… Three and spread in the whole country, the only one closest from here is in Ginza… but… there's one thing which is bugging me Maiko-san."
"Tell me."
"One of our speculations is probably wrong."
"Which one?"
"Our theory about L1 is not interested in money, it's probably wrong."
"Oh, God! Now you make me worried… but how do you know?"
"I found that L1 actually have done this kind of abduction for several times and I dare to say that THIS is a type of service they offer to their "client"."
"client?"
"Yes. They are paid by third parties. So… it's possible that this time they are kidnapping Mizuno-san for someone too."
"So you mean L1 is paid by someone who had a grudge against Haruya? … … … *gasp* oh God! It's all make sense now! Yuya, try calling this number instead!"
Meanwhile somewhere…
In the middle of the woods, a limp male appeared from somewhere wielding a briefcase. Among the big trees, an ambulance and silver SUV parked randomly. L1 members are scattered nearby the cars and the unconscious Harumi is tied on a wheelchair on the front of the SUV.
The limp male is a well built brunette and fairly good looking, he is wearing black suit and has strange mark on her neck, "Good work Touji, here's the money. *throwing the briefcase*"
"Nice! Kida-kun, please take that."
"Okay Boss." The said member picked the case and checked inside, "Yep, all clear."
Touji smiled in satisfaction, "You are late senpai, what took you so long? Mizuno even awakened and almost break free several minutes ago, she gave me and the kids a real hard time back there, but don't worry she is already "asleep" now. But… I am afraid we'll need some extra for capturing a Persona user."
"Heh, I don't care, Touji. How much?"
"This much *showing 5-fingers*"
"Here! It's more than five! *throwing a bulge of money*"
"Alright, she's all yours, we're outta here, c'mon guys! *claping hands*"
The woods filled with satisfied laughs, and then all L1 members entered their respective cars and left the vicinity.
The limp male move closer to Harumi and touching her face lustfully, "Mizuno Harumi… such a rare beauty… *sniff* Ahh… this nostalgic aroma of your silky hair *creepy chuckles* poor thing… what did they do to you? *walking around Mizuno* My… you are such a woman now aren't you… I wonder how many guys fantasizing about your body… but… you are mine!" the guy is going to do "things" to Harumi as he forcefully releases the ropes that binds her body.
-cell phone vibrating-
"AAAAGH DAMNIT!" *throwing away the phone*
He completely released Harumi from the ropes, Her wrists were scratched because of his rough effort, then he throw Harumi's helpless body on the ground with loud thud.
"*chuckles* this is what you are going to have for giving me a lifelong shame and a limp foot" The man begin to undress himself from the top, "*humming joyfully* See? This is the mark of your "love" HAHAHAHAHAHA!" On his abs, a blackened fist mark is seen…
The limp male thrown away his shirt and black suit, he pinned Harumi and begin kissing her face, he stuck his tongue out and begin licking her face.
"Urgh… M-my head… *gasp* Taira!" Harumi is already conscious but unable to move because she was zapped with stun gun for several times, her head is aching crazily and her muscles aren't responding.
Taira spoke right above her ear, "Hehe, good morning sugar… it's getting interesting now isn't it? Since you are already awake, wanna see my friend down here?"
Harumi glare at him with anger and contempt, even talking is very hard for her at the moment. She closed her eyes in desperation.
"Good… you get it now? It's no use to struggle… *opening pants*"
"Per…..so….na!" Shattered glass heard from Harumi as she suddenly highlighted in pale blue light.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA NICE! BRING IT ON! LET ME RAPE YOUR DEMON AT ONCE!" Then the strange mark on his neck is moving strangely as if it is a living being. "RRAAAAAAAAHHH!" Taira arching and cringed in pain.
Cybele appeared above Harumi and casted Diarahan on her,
Harumi found her energy back, she kicked Taira away and rolled backward to ready herself. On the other hand Taira slowly transfigured himself. A long curling and awfully bleeding horn appeard on his forehead, his pale skin became red and gleaming like raw meat, his eyes are glowing golden and he is two times taller than before.
"That form… Don't tell me you are a Magatama eater?! Years ago Taira did not have such power, …is someone selling Magatama for money or something? Man, this is a real mess."
Taira laughed maniacally as he is now completely transfigured, "Mizuno Harumi my darling… you seem to know a lot about my power don't you? *chuckles* now, please come to me sugar *blinking teasingly*."
" Aw! Yuck! Geez, you are even uglier now Taira. It seems, because of your transformation your dangling thing is completely gone, ahahaha… you poor thing, what did you wanna show me?"
"S-shut up! I am stronger now! You can't defeat me now! NEVER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Taira's movement is really fast, he throw a punch aimed to Harumi's torso, Harumi who's unable to dodge desperately forming shield with her hands.
A loud bump was heard and Harumi thrown away only to crash a tree behind her. Mizuno fell on the ground unmoving.
"That's it? HEHEH! I won! You are nothing Mizuno Harumi! PFFT… HAHAHAHA!"
Then a woodchip is thrown to the man's face. Harumi who's lying on the ground is chuckling.
"What? Hey! S-shut up! Stop laughing at me! What's so funny?!" Taira stomped on the ground like a child.
"You, you are so funny Taira-senpai. You sold your soul to a demon only to throw me to a tree? That wasn't hurt at all."
"GRRRRRR! Why don't you just die woman?!"
"Cybele!" Harumi casted Bufudyne on him, but he wasn't affected at all. "N-no way! How about this!" Harumi dodged Taira's punch by rolled on the ground, then she hit him with uppercut, Taira got hit.
"*CHUCKLES* what was that? Talking about powerless." Taira wasn't hurt at all, Harumi made distance and readied herself.
"Damn… even my Power Charge has no effect… Immune to ice and physical attacks? "
Another quick move from Taira, unknown to Harumi, he is forming electricity sphere in his hands and throw it to Harumi. It hit.
Harumi is now engulfed in electricity sphere… she cringed in pain but trying to hold her scream, probably because she don't want her enemy to feel satisfied.
"Why am I so powerless….? Damn!" Harumi staggered and fall.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Lame woman." *STOMP* He completed his attack by stepping on Harumi's helpless body.
"*pant-pant* I won't lose!" Harumi struggled and tried to move away his feet but her effort is futile, "Why! Why am I so powerless."
Taira kicked Harumi lika a soccer ball, but Harumi able to balance herself in the air and land on her feet.
"*clapping hands* Amazing, woman! *chuckles* let me show you my PAIN!"
"Ch!*spitting blood* what pain Taira? Pain for being ashamed?"
"YES! I can't forget what you've done to me! In the duel, you used your DEMON didn't you! you CHEATED Harumi!"
"Heh!, Look who's talking, and she is my Persona! Not a demon like you!"
"Who cares! You cheated!" Taira was about to form another electric sphere,
"Kuninobu Yana, remember that name Taira?" as if hypnotized by the name, Taira canceled his attack. "Sure, you SHOULD remember! …and you should know that you deserved to be ashamed! And I regret my decision to let you live after the duel!"
Harumi's Flash Back
It's in the middle of spring, on a school rooftop, two Junior High School girls are sitting on the floor side by side, enjoying the gentle breeze. That's me and Yana.
I am very introvert and shy, she is the only friend I have. Yana is pretty, very bright and cheerful, I wannabe like her… I even cut my hair and keep it shoulder length because I want to be look like her.
"Haruya… can you keep a secret?"
"Umm… sure, what is it Yana-chan?"
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and… I'll do something special."
"Do something…special?"
"*nodded firmly* I… ehehe… I am going to confess to Taira-senpai."
"Really? W-wow you are so brave Yana-chan, I heard that Taira-san is a popular guy."
"Yep he is… but I don't care, because I… I really like him."
"He's so lucky Yana-chan, but… he is a Hoshijiro High student right? How do you know him?"
"Actually, I watched the last National Kendo Tournament with Noriko and Tamaki, so… at that time, they introduced him to me… *blush*"
"Hmm? Noriko and Tamaki? Umm… but weren't they the ones who used to do bad things to you? And I still remember when they locked you in the janitor's closet?"
"Trust me Haruya, our relationship is improving these last few months, they often treat me diner and sometimes Taira-senpai join us."
"Really? That's great! So… how long have you been going out with Taira-san?"
"It's already two months… so, I guess I'd like to tell him my true feeling… *blush*"
Yana looks very happy… and… I am happy for her, I wish everything will be alright, because somehow… I have a bad feeling… and somehow, it is as if I am going to regret my decision for letting Yana do her confession… but what should I do? I don't have the right to stop her…
The Following Day, After School.
Yana is nowhere to be seen. I thought she is sick, so I tried to call her, but she didn't pick any of my calls… It's her birthday and I want to give her a present, I guess I'll just go to her house after this.
Ah! There's Tamaki and Noriko! "Noriko-san, Tamaki-san can I have a talk?" Actually, Noriko and Tamaki are popular among the boys, but they often disparage others…
"Hm? Look Norikan, this HOBBIT dares talking to us, hahaha! Who do you think you are ? Talk to my hand! HAHAHAHA"
"Aww~ come on Tamakin, don't be so mean… I don't even understand what she is saying hahahaha!"
"Ugh… No, seriously guys… have you seen Yana-chan around? Or maybe she told you something regarding her absent today?"
"Oh, you mean, Kuninobu? Umm… *giggles* should we tell her Tamakin?"
"fufufu~ I don't know, you decide Norikan."
"Guys… please… if you know something, I'll really apprecia-"
"Here! *showing a picture in her cell-phone to Harumi*"
"N-no… impossible! NO! NO WAY!" I ran away from them and I still remember how their mocking laugh echoed through the hallways at that time. In the picture was… Yana and Taira… on a bed… naked.
Then… when I arrived at Yana-chan's house… there were ambulances and police cars in from of her house… I dropped her birthday present on the ground and ran inside...
End of Flash Back
Harumi clenched her fists angrily, she closed her eyes to prevent her tears overflowing.
"You know what Taira? This red scarf I am wearing now is actually a birthday present for her! But she never able to wear it because…" Haruya cries… "Because she is DEAD Taira! She committed suicide on her birthday because of you! Don't you even feel any regret for that! You are heartless Taira! You are a demon after all! You are a demon even before you have this damned power of yours!" Harumi running toward Taira and tackle him, Taira read her movement and choked Harumi.
"You know what? That Yana your dear friend… she is a bitch! Just like every girl in this world… including you! Bitch!" Harumi cried harder…she don't even care about how hurt her body is… because her heart is… more than hurt.
"Why am I so powerless… I… I am sorry Yana… I can't do anything… for you…"
Taira throw her body away like a paper ball… Harumi lost her willingness to continue fighting… she accepts anything to come.
"Mizuno-san!" Yuya jumped and safely caught Harumi. Harumi couldn't believe her eyes
"Shibasaki-kun? H-how?!"
"Thank God! Umm… let me treat your wounds!"
Maiko appeared running behind Taira with Kukuri-Hime floating above her, Taira didn't notice at all, Kukuri-Hime casted Agidyne.
-BLAZE!—
The mega-fireball precisely struck Taira's head, Taira then rolling on the ground in pain.
Harumi which is already sitting in safe distance -with Yuya treating her wounds- is surprised by the sight. "Mai-chan?! I never know she is also a Persona user."
"Persona user?" Yuya is cleaning Harumi's wounds with mineral water, he even cut his favorite Risette T-shirt to cover her bleedings.
"Umm… *thinking about the best explanation* simply it's some super power within ourselves, we can… ask their help for defeating… let's call them demons."
"I-it's the first time I see such things … somehow I am drenched in cold sweat Mizuno-san." Yuya shivered in amazement but ignored it and keep treating Harumi.
"Oh no! MAI-CHAN, WATCH OUT!"
Too late, Maiko struck by Taira's deadly electric ball and thrown away, in split second Taira changes direction and running toward Harumi and Yuya,
"Maiko-san! Damnit! What is that thing?! Ummm… what I gotta do!? DAMNIT!" Taira jumped and going to stomp on them, in desperate moment Yuya pushed Harumi away.
-BTOOOM!-
The ground trembles and dense fog of dusts filled the woods…
"Mai-chan!" Harumi found Maiko, she is alright but unable to move because her muscles are throbbing uncontrollably at the moment. "Let me heal you," Harumi casted Diarahan on her.
"H-Haruya… Thanks… *gasp* where is that thing? And where's Yuya-kun?
"I-I don't know."
Then slowly the fog is clearing… a creepy laugh heard.
"N-no way… Yuya-kun… NO! NOOO!" Maiko covered her face and cried, Haruya saw the same sight but trying to calm herself and thinking the best way to survive this.
There's a crater on the spot where Yuya was, and Taira standing on it laughing… under his foot… Yuya is covered in soil and blood can be seen running from his mouth. He is not moving.
"Heh, Poor human… dying for his useless friends…" Taira glared at Haruya. "See? It's useless to fight me… and if you surrender from the beginning Haruya… this man will still alive. It's your fault! HAHAHAHA! And I think…. even the death of Yana is also your fault, Haruya. Because you as her friend let her come to me and be my bitch."
Haruya cried yet again… she is unable to think clearly… and the sight of Yuya … is like razor blade slicing her heart inch by inch. Beside her, Maiko also crying… her body is trembling in despair.
"I'll kill you." Harumi muttered weakly
"Hm? You say something? BITCH?"
"I'll kill y-"
"No need to stain your hands Mizuno-san."
"W-WHAT?" Taira shocked as the ground below him is moving, Yuya caught his foot with a smile on his beaten face.
"*gasp* Shibasaki-kun?!"
"Y-Yuya!" both Harumi and Maiko also unable to believe the sight.
"Puny human! Why are you still alive?!" Taira continue to stomp on Yuya but it seems not effective because Yuya feels no pain at all.
"I don't know… it was hurt though, but somehow… now I feel nothing." Yuya pushed Taira away, Taira thrown upward, then Yuya jumped and while they are in the air he punched Taira on his abs, loud thud echoed through the woods.
Taira fell on the ground back first while Yuya was able to land on his feet.
"W-why? Urp!" Taira vomited, Yuya get loser to him and ducked to pick something from Taira's vomit.
"That's the Magatama!" Harumi stood up pointed at the thing which is now in Yuya's hand, Maiko looked at the same direction.
"So you know about that thing too Haruya?! But I didn't know that THAT is called Magatama."
"… and I wonder what is happening to Shibasaki-kun, I don't see and feel any Persona from him… but somehow I feel powerful presence within him… what kind of… power is that?"
"Powerful presence? Oh! You are right… and… Yuya-kun is exactly not using that thing since he is not having strange mark on him and more importantly, he is not transfigured at all…"
"…It seems we will have a long conversation later aren't we Mai-chan?"
Maiko nodded, "Let's go to Yuya-kun!"
After vomited, Taira slowly transfigured back into his human form, Yuya picked Taira's suit which is found lying on the ground and covered Taira's naked body.
Yuya carefully investigating the Magatama in his hand, the Magatama is no longer moving and slowly became a stone like object. "What is this thing?" Then he noticed that Harumi and Maiko already in front of him, "Girls! Thank God! Are both of you Okay?!"
The girls' faces are brightened as they see Yuya is able to smile, although he looks beaten.
Harumi nodded shyly, "We are okay, more importantly let's treat your wounds Shibasaki-kun."
Yuya nodded, and then sirens heard from somewhere… the trio begin to sit on the ground and treating Yuya's wounds.
"Hmm… Maybe, Kagawa-san called the Police after all." Maiko said that while casting Diarahan on Yuya. Harumi found another bottle of mineral water from Yuya's backpack and handed it to him.
"Luckily your backpack is survived Shibasaki-kun."
"Haha… Yeah… or else I'll be doomed because my- OH GOD! NO!"
The girls startled and realized that Yuya's laptop is…ruined. Yuya hugged it and cried.
"E-easy Yuya-kun… more importantly you are safe."
"Mai-chan is right Shibasaki-kun… *blush* and actually you saved our lives… umm… please don't cry."
"B-but… but my collections of Risette's photos, PVs, and stuffs are… *sniff*" Yuya continue crying and hugging his laptop. Comically, the girls have big sweats appeared above their heads…
Seconds later a couple of police cars and an ambulance arrived, Kagawa-san appeared from one of the cars.
"Kids! Thank goodness you are all okay! *looking at the direction of Taira* Hm? That's not the one in the recording, who's that?"
"That's the mastermind of Mizuno-san's abduction, sir." Yuya said that while wiping tears from his eyes.
Later…
Moments ago Taira woke up and tried to escape, but the police caught him right away. Luckily he was too weak to struggle and he surely lost his demon power. He is now in the ambulance and guarded by two officers.
I sit between Yuya and Haruya, their name made good rhymes right? *chuckles* We are already in the police van… they let us to go home now, but they said they are going to need our testimonies later.
Mizuno keep touching her scarf while staring blankly, she is as if in deep nostalgia, I don't know why. And Yuya-kun is already cheered up, because the hard drives and back-up memories of his one-and-only computer are okay… *sigh* I want to ask several questions regarding his power… and more importantly how does he know the way to defeat the so called Magatama eater. To think about it, he defeated Taira in one hit. Ugh… I am just too tired to think… and I guess everybody feels the same way…
To be continued…
