When the sun started to rise, one by one they started to wake up, slowly.

And Aoba watched them, waiting for the right moment to get out of his fake sleep.

Kida was the first one and Mikado turned to him, smiling "Hello Masaomi"

Aoba felt a pang of jealousy in his chest and rose as well. "Hello Mikado-sempai, Kida-kun"

After a while of reflection he added, putting his best innocent face, "I'm glad nothing happened this night either, I don't know what we could have done if we had been attacked."

Kida somehow knew something was wrong with him, well if you asked him something was always wrong with Aoba, but before he could voice any concern he was cut by Mikado "You're right, we should try to craft some weapons or at least prepare something so we won't be totally defenseless if something happens, what do you think Masaomi?"

"Mmh, I agree"

"I agree too" added a sleeping voice.

Mikado answered cheerfully, "Hello Saki-chan ... by the way, where is Sonohara-san?"

"Must have gone to the toilets, or well at least try to find a place which could be used as such, it's not easy for us girls and it's a little embarassing"

Despite her attempts at reassuring him Mikado was restless, his eyes looking around the camp, searching for any clue she might be somewhere nearby"

Aoba shrugged and proposed "Let's go look for her, together."

He was inwardly rejoicing.

They reluctantly separated in two groups, Kida leaving Saki with Mikado and volunteered to be paired up with Aoba.

The two of them were walking around the warehouse when they heard a scream coming from the other side, Kida rushed to his girlfriend, Aoba just had to follow.

When they met with their companions what greeted them was the sight of a bloody corpse lying on the floor.

"S- she's dead"

Immediately Kida grabbed Aoba by the collar, "You did this did you?"

Mikado tried to calm him down, "He couldn't, Sonohara-san was still alive when he woke me up, Masaomi let him go"

Aoba tried his best to disguise a smile, killing her was definitely the best idea, no one could figure out why he would have done such a thing, killing Saki would have earned him even more of Kida's suspicions, killing Kida would have been too obvious but he no real reason to kill Anri, and doing so he got rid of another obstacle between him and Mikado-sempai.

If he wasn't that modest he would have said he was a genius.
