"Eh... I see..." Kido murmured.
"It's like a giant riddle, huh?" Ayano said.
"Yeah, but is all of this coding and all that other stuff really necessary?" Kano sighed.
"Maybe he only wants certain people to find out," Seto said.
"Certain people, huh?" Ayano murmured and realized something.
Could it be he doesn't want him to find out?! Ayano realized.
"KYAAH!"
"Mary?!" the siblings turned to see the little white haired girl trying to run away from a black snake.
"A black snake?! How did it get into the hideout?!" Kido shrieked too.
"I don't know! Just get the freaking thing out!" Takane yelled.
I thought so... Ayano thought as Seto chased the black snake, trying to get it out of the hideout.
"M-Mary, are you okay?!" Momo asked as the white haired girl was hyperventilating.
"I-I think..." Mary said between breaths.
"I'm going out to buy some snacks," Haruka said as he got up.
"Are you that hungry?" Takane asked.
"Yeah, also I thought some snacks could cheer everyone up," Haruka smiled.
"Just don't drop any crumbs!" Kido said as Haruka walked over to the door.
"A-re~? Are you afraid that the snake might come back?" Kano smirked, then got punched in the face (on purpose this time) as Haruka closed the door.
Haruka sighed as he leaned on the door and slid down.
"Can you be quiet?" Haruka asked.
"Eh? Why do you never listen to me, then?"
"'Cause I know you're wrong."
"Are you in denial still? Can't you just face the fact that you've killed your friends before?"
"Shut up!" Haruka yelled as he covered his ears again, thinking it would stop the voice.
"There's no way I'd ever do that! If I've killed them than why are they still here?!"
"Kagerou days sound familiar?"
"No! Not at all!"
"Didn't you have a stupid goal or something? What was it... 'I'll save the boy and the girl'?"
"No, I don't remember any of it..."
"Our minds are different but that still doesn't change the fact that you killed them with your hands."
"I'm tired, can't you just leave my head already?"
"What? But I need to know how this tragedy will end, or what Shin-whatever's stupid little plan is. Ugh, this would just be a lot easier if you had just eavesdropped on those foolish man's kids!"
"You mean Ayano and her siblings? No way! Why would I listen to you and why would I even do that?!"
"Ugh, this route is so stupid and painful! I don't get a body, the owner of the body is too stubborn, and not to mention I can't grant any stupid freaking wishes! You know what? Screw you! I'm just going to find another body!"
Haruka waited for a moment until he heard completely nothing, and sighed.
"Glad to get that out of my mind," Haruka murmured to himself as he got up and walked to a market nearby.
The siblings waited for the girls to start another conversation that way they could keep their's hidden.
"'Red crane paradise' was what you guys got?" Ayano asked as she looked at the paper.
"What the heck is that suppose to mean?" Kido asked.
"We have no clue!" Kano shrugged, "That's why we came out and told you, right?"
"Technically I did, but yeah," Seto sweated.
"A paradise? Hm..." Ayano thought for a while.
"By paradise, could he mean a place filled with cranes?" Kido asked.
"If that's so, I guess we could assume that he's talking about paper cranes that are made of red material, right?" Seto asked.
"Oh! That's good!" Kano said.
"Then a place filled with paper cranes made out of red material..." Ayano re-worded.
"Then, Ayano-nee's room?" Seto asked.
The younger siblings looked towards their older sister.
"Um... I think it's somewhere else...?" Ayano awkwardly laughed since she didn't want her room to be a mess since she just cleaned it.
"Eh? Somewhere else? But there's no other place that's filled with paper cranes that we know of!" Kano pouted.
"Well Shintaro is probably not talking about a place outside of the city so..." Seto thought for a moment.
"...!" Ayano remembered a place.
"Guys! I think he's talking about the elementary school we went to!" Ayano said.
"But hasn't it shut down?" Kido asked.
"Exactly!" Ayano exclaimed.
"Eh?" the younger siblings blinked a couple of times in a clueless way at their sister.
"Seto!"
"Er- yes?"
"Didn't you say he might only want certain people to find out about this?"
"Um- yes."
"What better place than an abandoned building!" Ayano pointed out.
"Oh..." the three said in unison now that they got what their sister was talking about.
"Well? C'mon!" Ayano said while getting up and running to exit the hideout.
"Ah! Wait!" Seto yelled as the three got up and followed their sister.
"What was that all about?" Takane asked as the door shut.
"Who knows," Hiyori huffed.
"Maybe we shouldn't have left them out," Mary said.
"Eh, less snacks for them," Momo shrugged.
