2-15: Something That Can’t Be Forgotten (3/4)

2-15: Something That Can’t Be Forgotten (3/4)

Huh? Then where are the people who fled from the third floor?

I mean it the first place Just how did Shinichi-kun manage to get into the third floor?

But as she was thinking of why the criminals were doing this, another questions dawned upon her How was Shinichi able to get into the third floor?

The thing is It was apparently open when the boy passed through.

According to those who checked, an armed man put the net back up.

They still have hostages, so we could only watch, but Kazama said.

He couldnt have broken through it, could he? Rinko asked.

Kayama wryly smiled. Defective goods. Malfunction. Human error.

There are so many things to blame it onto, and yet the first thing you suspect is that, huh.

The electromagnetic net could have simply been down by coincidence when Shinichi passed through.

But it was more likely that he had something on him that allowed him to break through rather than a lucky story like that.

Regardless, Rinko was surprised to see Kayama so easily accept that.

Kayama-dono, did you know about Shinichi?

Well

I thought he knew how to fight, but it was just my intuition.

Thats why I dont actually know anything, Kayama said.

Rinko heard that he was originally a skilled detective.

He was asked to become a part of the investigative team, but he wanted to become a part of the mobile force that moved first instead.

He probably saw something in Shinichi as someone who has faced criminals for a long time.

He called it intuition, but an intuition born from amassing experience couldnt be made light of.

But enough of that, good news just came in.

The unit that secured the second floor were able to get a response that matched the features of the three children that couldnt run away in time. Its just that

Theyre with the criminals.

Kayama unhappily nodded his head, and Rinko nodded as if she expected this.

That was the easiest situation to imagine since they didnt come back.

But now even if they are able to get the equipment to break through the electromagnetic net, they cant move carelessly.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Whats really annoying is we have no idea what their objective is.

It seems they were originally planning on locking themselves in, but theyre not making any demands.

Moreover, theyre using such high-tech tools and yet theyre using old weapons It doesnt make sense.

There are people that do violence with anti-garesto and anti-society agendas in mind, but this incident doesnt appear to be that simple

It was too different from the things theyve experienced until now. The criminals were also too well equipped and moved differently.

There was even a sense of discomfort that felt as if they were being made to dance on the palm of some great being.

But just where could the criminals have gotten all these things It couldnt be?

You think so too?

But if not for that, then it wouldnt make sense how theyre able to get so many of Garestos equipment.

Rinko paled at the possibility.



Yeah, I let my guard down.

I didnt think he would try to resist and help the rest get away, a young man replied.

The other group of armed men had attacked the food section.

They tried to silence the customers with their guns, but Daigo resisted, and when they tried to suppress him, everyone else got away.

And here I thought you were a part of the Anti-Garesto team. Thats sad, the young man said.

He didnt really look that sad, but the overly familiar manner in which he talked displeased Daigo.

Mitsuda, are you really with these guys? Daigo asked.

Yeah, thats right, the young man replied. You took the interview for work, but I took it for this. So, what are you going to do now?

We can still accept you if youre willing.

Dont joke with me! Who would work with you people!

Mitsuda and Daigo had taken the interview at the same time. They worked the same shift too, so they were acquainted quite well.

Who wouldve thought that Mitsuda would be plotting something like this? It was quite a shock.

Ooh, scary. I guess thats what youd expect from someone aiming to be a cop As rotten as you might be.

Amazing, wow, ha ha ha

Just about everything was frustrating.

The fact that Daigo told this guy that without knowing anything.

The fact that Daigo couldnt save his friend who was being beaten up.

The fact that Daigo couldnt even punch this guy who was laughing foolishly in front of him.

Gyan!!??

As he ground his teeth from anger and frustration, someone suddenly screamed.

The voice belonged to a man, but it was too pathetic, and for some reason, Daigo felt it.

Beating me up over and over again!

Do you take me for a maso princesss from somewhere!? What do you mean it feels good!? It just hurts!

When Daigo turned around, he saw Shinichi yelling something incomprehensible.

The person who screamed was holding his crotch in front of Shinichi.

That was enough for Daigo to tell what his childhood friend had done. They were both men, after all.

Clearly, Shinichi had wedged a sensational head butt.

Y-you little!

When the giant man saw his friend get hurt, the blood rushed to his head even more.

The giant man raised up his arms, but some of their friends came back with a different look on their faces.

After rendezvousing, these people had left to do something else, and now they came back with an urgent report.

We have a problem! I cant contact outside! The phone isnt connecting!

I cant either! The phone extension couldnt connect anywhere!

The stairs have all been blocked with electromagnetic nets and the elevators arent working either!

W-What did you say?

Shocked filled the faces of the criminals.
