Here's chapter 57. This chapter focuses on characters from Kaiketsu Zorori and Beastars. Featuring an appearance by two characters from Zootopia and a brief appearance by an Aggretsuko character and the Sonic characters.
In another part of the city, Zorori was with his apprentices Ishishi and Noshishi had seen the report on one of the giant screens that were on top of one of the buildings. All the people around them began to comment on what they had seen. They were different opinions, but still the fox and the two boars decided to leave without attracting attention, since they didn't want to be linked in these discussions and in the process they did'nt want them to be related to the inhabitants of Mobius, at least not by the moment until things started to calm down. So they decided to first go to a place away from the public eye to make a call. Although knowing that at the moment it was not a good idea to call Sonic or any other of the mobians, they decided to call someone else.
The fox took out a cell phone. And he started dialing a phone number. The three of them waited for the person on the other end to answer. They didn't take long waiting.
"Hello, this is Finnick," said the fennec fox.
"Hello, this is Zorori" said the yellow fox.
"Oh Zorori. I didn't expect you to call right now. I guess you've seen the news."
"Yes. Ishishi, Noshishi and I were in the center of the city when we saw the report, now we are hiding just in case. Where are you and your companions?"
"We are in the hotel where we are staying. We had been in a souvenir shop when the report came out, but fearing that someone would not recognize us from the security video of the restaurant that was on the news on Saturday and start asking us questions about the mobians, we slipped out of there without being seen, fortunately".
"I'm glad to hear they were able to prevent that. Out of curiosity, haven't Sonic and the others contacted you?",
"Don't. Since we met Sonic, his wife Amy and his son Speed yesterday, we haven't seen them."
"Yesterday two of our companions: Elzie and Najō went to see them to look for the missing communicators. According to what they told us, there were the Prower family and the Echidna family."
"It must have been when the Hedgehog family was with us. Since they left, we haven't seen them again."
"Elzie and Najō haven't seen them since they left to go back to the rest of us."
"The strange thing about the case is that until the last we heard from them, they were still in the position of staying hidden from the public eye."
"Like from our side, it didn't seem like they were thinking of changing their minds at the time based on what we learned."
"It must have been in the course of the afternoon or evening that something changed in them."
"It is very likely that was the case. If it wasn't for the events that are happening with the population after the conference, and since it's not a good idea to draw attention to yourself, I and my trainees would have tried to investigate this, since we have solved cases before as I told you before."
"I'm sure they could do it, even two of my companions are police, who were also willing to find out what happened, but because of you, they haven't seen it as a good idea to investigate either."
He didn't mention that the third of his companions was a secret agent for obvious reasons.
"Well, if Sonic tells you something or if you find out something on your own, let us know, since we don't know how this event will affect us."
"Count on that. I will do it".
"Well, if I find out anything else, I'll let you know too."
"Done".
At that moment both closed the call to the same.
Finnick after hanging up was with Jack at the time. Nick and Judy were with their respective parents and the children at the time in the living room, while the fennec fox and striped rabbit were in the dining room. Although Jack was present at the beginning of the conversation, if he got to hear half of the conversation and because he had a good ear, he could tell who Finnick was talking to.
"It was Zorori. Right?" asked the striped rabbit.
"Yes. He and his apprentices saw the report, he wanted to know if Sonic had contacted us, as they feared that this could affect them in some way. I suppose they want to stay hidden, because if people find out that they are in contact with the mobians, then they will not have a moment of peace" replied the fennec fox.
"Do you suppose so?"
"Of course, I even know a lot about them, the trouble they've gotten into, and how they've been chased by the police multiple times. I'm sure right now you want to have a moment of peace. Although it is not the authorities who are looking for them, or at least not at the moment.
...
Right now; Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi arrived at the castle where the others who arrived there with them were. They were all serious and silent. It was obvious that they saw the report, and they were worried about what was going to happen to them in the future. They had even been worried about the fox and the two boars. At least they were glad that they were okay, and that they hadn't been followed by anyone from the city. The yellow fox only said a few words to try to cheer them up.
"Well, for the moment we are safe. No mention of any of us was made, and no one suspects that more people were brought to this part of the country through chaos control. And no one knows our location except Finnick, so we're safe here for now. I think we should stay here for a few days, just to make sure everything will be okay."
Although that eased the others' concerns a bit, they remained silent and nodded their heads in agreement.
...
Haru and Juno were in their apartment. That same morning they had gone out to the city, since both had received a call to go to a job interview at a store where clothes are sold in the city and they had been accepted. Both would start work the next day. They had even waited until it was noon to let their friends know the good news, although in Gouhin's case they couldn't contact him due to the nature of his work, but they would tell him later. They told the others at the time they knew they were going to have lunch. They called Louis first, but he didn't answer for a reason, at first both were worried because he always answered, when they called Jack, he explained what was happening with the deer, which made the rabbit and the wolf laugh. After that they gave him the good news, which was happily accepted by their friends.
Once the call was over, the two of them made a quick lunch. When it was ready, they sat on the couch and began to watch the news. At first everything was normal. But when the prime minister appeared, who was completely different from the prime minister of their dimension, they realized that it would be something important, so they decided to pay attention. Both thought that the prime minister would talk about some security methods that would begin to be implemented in the city after what happened over the weekend, but in the end it was not what they expected. Well, when they saw Gouhin appear on television and then be accompanied by the same beings that arrested Eggman in the restaurant, they were speechless. Although both hadn't met them personally yet, Gouhin had, but he never told them that they would perform on TV.
After hearing what the mobians said, which was partly things Gouhin had told them and partly new information, they became interested in that topic. Fortunately in everything they heard there was no direct mention of them about that coming from another dimension, nor was there any follow-up mention of Gouhin being with them at the time. They were surprised that they were given Japanese citizenship while in this dimension. That was good enough, since they would not have to live in hiding, but they wondered, if this would affect them in another way either directly or indirectly. Or what things could happen to them from now on. There were so many questions on their minds. They wondered if this was going to affect them in any way, although they didn't think it was going to be as bad as the things that were lived in their universe, that would be nothing compared to that.
Shortly after the report ended, they received a call on their phone. This time it was Jack who called them both. He first asked them if they hadn't left the apartment and if both were okay after his last call. Both replied that they had stayed there all that time and that nothing bad or unusual had happened to them. He then asked them if they watched TV in the last 10 minutes. They answered yes, that they saw the breaking news. But that neither of them was worried and that they had taken it in stride. Although if they were told that as far as they were concerned, anything that happened to them from now on would surely not be as bad as what they experienced in their universe of origin.
The only thing they did mention was the concerns both had for their loved ones that they had not seen in three months, although that was normal, since they all had family or friends who stayed in their dimension and taking into account how things were there, they assumed that all believed they were dead or had been kidnapped. Anything could imagine, is what were supposed to raise that all the people who knew in their dimension. Surely they have been looking for them all over the city, specifically in areas that they used to frequent, and then look for them in other areas. At first they might think that locating ten people traveling together in a vehicle would be easy to find, but as hours, days, weeks and months go by they will realize that it is not.
Once the call ended, having confirmed that Haru and Juno were fine; at Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd, Jack kept his phone. He was together with Legoshi, Collot, Durham, Miguno and Voss. Anai had momentarily left the break room a few minutes ago as he was going to get something that he wanted to show his new co-workers, so the gray wolf and the labrador retriever sat with them momentarily to make the call. Louis was still at the other table sitting with Kabae, who to his misfortune was still talking nonstop, luckily because of that, she didn't hear what Jack said while on the phone, so they'd have the deer to thank for keeping her distracted.
"And how were you both?" Legoshi asked.
"They are fine, their concern is small. But nothing has happened to them," replied Jack.
"I'm very glad to hear it," said the grey wolf.
Although Legoshi at some point in the past had dated Haru, and even Juno had a crush on him, which ultimately came to nothing. In the present day, where he is now in a relationship with Jack, and he was no longer romantically linked to either of them, Legoshi still cared for them, as he viewed them as younger sisters.
"Anyway, I think Gouhin will be home early today, so when we get back from work, the three of us will already be together and Gouhin will be able to explain to all of us a little more about what happened before the conference," said the labrador retriever.
At least they wouldn't have to worry about anything at the moment, everything was calm, and until now there didn't seem to be any danger.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
