"You said that you saw...another you in the last night?"
Otto was shocked when Zenitsu, Tanjirou and the Tokitou twins suddenly came to Research Facility No. 13. His face was sweating heavily as if he just committed something horrible.
"It looks like you're hiding something from us" Yuichirou said. Muichirou meanwhile quietly drank a bobba milk tea.
"What!?" Otto was startled. "What are you talking about!?"
"Yuichirou, it isn't nice to say that" Tanjirou said.
"I'm just joking" Yuichirou replied.
"Otto, I know it sounds like a weird news for you but it's true!" Zenitsu was looking terrified.
"Okay..."
Otto awkwardly rolled his eyes.
"Actually, I was thinking the same thing too but when i thought about it again, perhaps it was a shapeshifting Infester or... maybe any other aliens impersonating as you?" Otto hypothesised.
Yuichirou only yawned.
"You don't need to worry, Zenitsu. Perhaps you can tell any of your executives when you spotted that impostor again" Otto suggested.
"I think you're right" Zenitsu scratched his head.
"What about if we go to the art gallery tonight? I heard that a grand exhibition will be held for three days starting from today" Otto tried to cheer him up.
"A grand exhibition?" Zenitsu raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah!" Otto nodded cheerfully.
"Sounds nice, I should bring my siblings there too" Tanjirou smiled.
...
"Right now, we need to think a very brilliant to escape from this ugly place" Mordrezan said.
It's the lunch time now, and the prisoners were present in the cafeteria.
"What about if we burn this place?" Orbaum gave an improper suggestion.
"Hahahaha!" Berdamor laughed. "You want to burn this place!? Hahahaha!"
"Are you a fool, Orbaum!? Your actions might kill all of us!" Mordrezan violently banged his fist on the table.
"At least we kill the warden!" Orbaum cackled.
Mordrezan only sighed with a frown.
"You're really a talented comedian, Orbaum" Berdamor stated.
"Can't we just wait for Periborix and Bithus to come back and rescue us?" Vozurek said.
"But the problem is we can't stay any longer in here! Somehow we need to make our escape soon" Mordrezan replied.
Meanwhile at the another table, the Water Pillar noticed the Wind Pillar didn't eat his lunch meal yet.
"Hey" Other Giyuu addressed the white haired guy.
Other Sanemi only raised his eyebrows.
"You shall eat your food now" Other Giyuu said.
"No thanks, I'm not in the mood to eat" Other Sanemi was looking grumpy.
"Are you not hungry, Shinazugawa?" Other Giyuu asked again.
"Nah" Pillar Sanemi turned his face away. "You don't need to worry about me.
"I wonder what kind of fruit is this" Other Muichirou was holding a banana.
However, when Other Sanemi looked at his surroundings, his heart was mentally struck by unknown means.
An unbelievable moment for him, the Wind Pillar saw two familiar persons talked with each other, wearing some kind of green sea colored uniforms. That persons were 'his father'...and 'his best friend'. For real?
"Father? Masachika?"
"Shinazugawa?"
Other Sanemi finally looked back at his comrades. The other two pillars were staring at him.
"Are you okay, Shinazugawa?" Other Giyuu asked.
"No, I'm fine" Other Sanemi lowered his head.
For some reason, the Wind Pillar felt like he want to cry.
...
"Our forces have sabotaged the convoy of Kibutsuji Foundation, sir!" a male officer reported.
"Good" Dev nodded as he sat on his desk inside his office.
"All of Erionian weapons are successfully confiscated and two of their fighters are killed. "But there's another problem, sir!"
"What's it?" Dev asked.
"Our outpost near Mount Fujikasane was infiltrated last night" the officer said. "Most of our personnels were injured"
"Injured?" Dev's eyebrows arched.
"We've found the perpetrators, sir! They're Tengen Uzui, an executive of the Infester Slayer Corps and his junior, Gyutaro Shabana"
The officer then gave a file to Dev.
"We can't risk any of our outposts raided by other hostile groups. From now, please inform every of our personnels to prepare against any incoming attacks" Dev warned.
"Yes, sir!" the officer gave him a salute.
"Good, now you may leave our office now" Dev said.
The officer then left the chairman's office.
Dev went silent for a few seconds before took a black cordless phone on his desk.
