What were some of the other protags doing during the Law and Chaos skits last chapter? Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Flynn had decided to leave the groups Aleph and Naoki had found to them. He doubted he would be much help with them, anyway… And there were plenty of people left to track down and check up on.

Soon enough, he came across a few of them. Isabeau and Yuka were chatting as Pascal napped at Yuka's feet, while Beth and Hiroko both seemed to be inspecting a nearby building. Figuring the women with Pascal were busy with their conversation, he made his way over to the other two.

"Is there something about this building that you all find important?" Flynn looked at them, an eyebrow raised.

"It looks like a Messian church…" Hiroko looked it over with a frown. "But the door seems to be locked."

"It's odd, most buildings around here either open to nothing or to something like a store." Beth crossed her arms. "Is there a reason this door is locked?"

"Perhaps it needs a key?" Flynn tilted his head to the side as he stared up at it with them. "Or perhaps it will only open for specific people."

"I suppose we don't have the time to worry about it, though." Beth sighed, shaking her head. "There's more important things at hand."

"That's right, we still need to figure out how to get that door in that strange building open." Hiroko wondered. "I wonder, though… How do we get that door to open…"

"I suppose we'll all have to worry about that more when we can get a better look at the door…" Flynn frowned. "We had just found it when your group came across us, after all."

"That's true. Let's do our best when we go back in, then." Hiroko gave the two of them a smile.

Beth gave a nod and small smile of her own. "Yes!"

"I'll make note of this location on my gauntlet, either way. In case it becomes important to escaping this place." Flynn wasted no time doing just that, also making a mental note to share this information with Kazuya, Tadano, and Naoki when he had the chance.

Nanashi was kind of hoping he'd find a nice, big group of strangers when he went looking for people. If he could talk to them, get closer to them, maybe. That would be nice, what with his current goal of getting Dagda to start seeing allies as less bad than he currently did…

And he was lucky enough to at least run into a group that wasn't as small as Flynn's had seemed when he passed by his hero. Tamaki's friends, Naoki's friends, and Akira were all standing around together. Charlie and Yumi seemed to be harassing Isamu about something, Reiko was shrinking away from Chiaki and her intimidating aura, and Akira… Well, Akira seemed to be keeping to himself, off to the side.

Maybe his lack of interaction is what made Nanshi decide to approach him.

"Hey there…!" He gave an awkward, stilted wave as he approached. "Not feeling conversation right now?"

"No, I'm not. That's why I'm not talking to anyone." Akira shot him a look. "What do you want?"

"Just thought some conversation might do you some good…" Nanashi thought for a moment. What could he bring up…? "So, uh… Your name is interesting!"

"My name? Which one?" He crossed his arms. "Akira or Amon?"

"Akira…!" Nanashi nodded, swallowing. "You see, a lot of hunters from my, uh, universe don't like that name… I've been learning more about a man named Akira and even had dreams that seem to… Be me as him? It's weird."

"..." Akira looked away with a scoff. "Not sure why you're telling me this. I'm not that Akira."

"I know, but… Your name made me think about that…! Funny how that can happen, right?"

"...If you're going to talk to me, don't talk to me about my name."

"O-oh, sure…" Nanashi blinked a few times. "That means I can talk to you about other things, right?"

Akira heaved a sigh. "I feel I'm not going to get a choice, so yes."

Nanashi perked up a bit at that. "Oh, well then… Uh, what happened to you exactly? W-why did Amon merge with you, I mean? I'm curious…"

Nobu felt he was the unluckiest guy around right now. He'd made the mistake of walking right into the center of Nanashi's friend group and, well, it'd taken no time for it to delve into a mess. Questions about his COMP and why he couldn't use his phone, shocked murmurs when he showed them his phone, and more…

"So you wouldn't be able to summon demons from your phone…?" Asahi seemed pretty stuck on that part. "Whoa…"

"It looks really old… I've seen phones like that…" Hallelujah rubbed the back of his head. "But they're usually in piles of junk and can't be used…"

"Yeah, well this is about the best a guy like me could get in my universe! Phones like yours don't even exist… Not yet, at least." Who knew, only time would tell… And time could only tell if he got back home.

"If phones like yours exist in our universe and just aren't used… I don't see why ours wouldn't eventually be made in yours!" Nozomi gave him a smile. "If this kind of thing ever happens to us again, further into our futures, we should compare and see."

"Guess so… But watch you guys have phones directly implanted in your brains by the time I get to phones like yours." Nobu let out a sigh. Technology was amazing sometimes, confusing others, and frustrating always.

"Come on now!" Nozomi gave a laugh and slapped him on the back. "Don't talk like that. I'm sure things won't change that much… We still have bigger fish to fry than that, after all."

"Ah yeah, you guys are dealing with… A lot of stuff my universe isn't dealing with, huh?" Well now he just felt stupid about it all.

"You forgot, huh? Well… That's okay." Hallelujah gave an awkward laugh. "Not like you'd think it's the norm, right?"

"Right…"

When would this conversation end…?

Tamaki had seen that, well, everyone else had everything covered. So what was left for her to do? She guessed she'd be the first back at the building… Not much else she could think to do… Kinda sucked, though. She almost felt useless at the moment.

That's when she happened upon a trio that seemed to be no good and she wasted no time hiding behind a wall. She wasn't as speedy as Nobu, sure, but she was fast enough to do that without getting caught.

She steadied her breathing and began trying to listen in. It was a bit hard, seeing as they were all being pretty quiet, but she was picking up on some of it. Something about Tadano, something about Naoki… And things about fighting or even straight up killing.

That… Wasn't good.

These were gonna be dangerous people to their goals, huh? She made a note to tell everyone about them and the fact they were on the prowl as soon as possible. She just… Had to wait for them to leave first...
