Yami drags that woman to another room and waits for her to wake up.

Hikari was going to the location using the fastest route. He was the one who arrives near the location. So maybe Neu and Nimura were okay now. But the place was crowded with people there. Hikari looked around to find a suspicious person. But it seems like there was nothing there. However, he still can't confirm it. He keeps searching for it until he found something. Then he found something that looks like a mark for him. He checked it to know what that mark means. The place was crowded and it was hard for Hikari to focus on that mark.

When Hikari was looking at that mark, he saw a man with a big bag was walking there and trying to find a looking around. For Hikari, it looks like he was finding a spot for him to hide. Hikari didn't go to that man just like that. He just watching that man from the place he is now and waits for that man to take out his equipment to confirm it. He sent a message to Ageru to let Akaru know about that. So it will be easy for them to make a move. When Hikari saw that man was going to open his bag, he walked to that man to see what it is.

Hikari dropped something in front of that man to distract that man, but it seems like that man was not getting distracted by that. So Hikari goes next to that man without getting noticed and takes a look at it. But from what did Hikari saw, it looks like it was a communicating thing. He didn't sure what model it is but it looks different from what did he have to see before. Maybe it was a special version. Hikari didn't talk with that man because with that his identity will get exposed. He just walked away. But when that man turned on that radio, Hikari heard a noise but he didn't sure where it comes from. When he looked at the others, they just look like there was nothing happened. Hikari was so weird about it, so he was thinking that maybe they build that kind of machine just to hunt him down.

Suddenly he heard Yami's voice, Yami says to him "Hey, tell all of your friends to get out of there now. There is no much time left." Hikari was so weird when Yami saying something like that. He understands it and gets in touch with Neu and Nimura. He says to them that the plan has been changed. They try to ask him why did that happen but Hikari didn't have any time to talk about it, he just told them to do what did he says. Since it sounds like Hikari was talking seriously about it, They just follow it.

Not a long time later, Akaru asks Hikari about it. Hikari tells Akaru about the situation there and asks him if there was something that he can do. Based on the situation Hikari is in now, Akaru didn't get any idea about what to do with the Hikari situation. Hikari tells Akaru that Neu and Nimura will not come there so maybe everything will be alright. Because Hikari says that so, Akaru just told him to get away from there. Hikari was thinking that he maybe should do something about that but since Akaru was saying that, he just goes away.

Ageru was browsing the internet, then she found very weird news. She clicked on it to read the full article about it. She didn't think that thing was possible to do. But even so, that thing maybe will be affected by Quantum memory. There was a risk of doing that. But there was one thing that makes Ageru started to make her weird. That news was private. It doesn't seem like it was from the hackers that she knows. But even that so, why did they could send that to her if they just can send it straight to Hikari. Maybe they keep it a secret from Hikari. Ageru was thinking maybe she should tell Hikari about it but it will just make Hikari worried about it and will tell them that he will check it. Ageru didn't want Hikari to get involved in any problem anymore. So she just keeps it from Hikari and checks about it.

Yami takes a weapon that he found there and points it at that woman. Yami asks her "Before we go more forward, tell me everything about you and this place." that woman laughed. She asks Yami "How if I say to you that I am an AI like you too? Can you believe in me?" Yami didn't think that was right. although that he is not an AI from Hikari old memories. Then that woman takes out one letter from her clothes and lends it to Yami. She says to Yami "Before we start it, do you mind to you read this?" Yami didn't think there was something wrong with it, so he picks that letter up and reads it.

" 180279,

I got a job for you. but before that, I want you to know that we're from an organization that you will never found even you try to find it for years. The reason why we're writing this letter to you is we want you to lure a guy named Aigami Hikari to a place that where no one can get involved in. We give you the rewards later. just make sure that you will do as what did we were told."

Yami didn't understand why did that woman show that to him. He didn't sense anything around him. Suddenly he saw that woman was trying to take out something. He didn't think any longer and just shot that woman's hand that she was using. Yami asks that woman again "Just what did you plan to do with Hikari?" That woman didn't tell Yami about what did she was going to do even in that situation. Suddenly they heard someone open the door of the other room one by one. Maybe that was security in that place. There is still no electricity there, So maybe they were using a flashlight. Yami was thinking that maybe there was no time left for him to interrogate that woman. So he just kills that woman before those people come to them.

Just when did they open the door, They didn't saw Yami was there. They just saw the corpse of that woman. It hard for them to search around because it was dark there. Yami takes a chance at that dark place to hide from those people. Yami can't see their face when they were inside there, So they just hear their voice.

"He got her, It seems like he was trained with those people. maybe it was hard for us to beat him up even in this place."

"Based on the spot he shot on this woman, it seems like she can't be saved. But it doesn't matter, right? As long as we will get him. So To where did he go away?"

It seems like they were trying to search around. Yami didn't make any noises in that situation. Yami just waiting for them to get out of there. Yami was thinking that he maybe should just take them out one by one. But the risk was too high for him to do it because he didn't know how many people they're there.

After a long time, They still didn't find where Yami is. So they were thinking that maybe Yami was escaped from there before they arrive there. They just take that woman and get out from there.

Hikari has finished with a thing that he needs to do. He just wondering where Yami is now. He tries to communicate with Yami through their thought.

"Heh, Where are you? are you okay?"

"Sorry, but there was something that I need to do. maybe I will be late. You do not need to worry, it just a little simple thing."

Since Yami was saying that, Hikari didn't think that he should get involved in it because he still didn't know what Yami was doing.

Hikari talk with Neu and Nimura about what should they do next. But it seems like they can't succeed if they didn't go to a location that they need to. Hikari was avoiding telling them the truth. He didn't know how should he tell them about that. But everything that he can tell them is "There was a... some technical problems there, so they told the people to not go there." Maybe it was hard for them to believe in it. Because they were walking halfway there and didn't saw anything from afar. But since Hikari already arrives there at that time, they just believe in it.

So they ask Hikari about what should they do for now. Since Hikari arrives there first maybe he got some message there. Then Hikari says to them "hm... How if we just practice it by ourselves? I mean like drawing a manga or something that can make our skills better." They agreed with it. Then they didn't say anything about it.

Hikari was so relieved that everything was okay, Then he gets in touch with Yami again to asks Yami about his situation. Yami says to Hikari that there was nothing to be worried about. he tells Hikari about what did he know about the people who are going to attacks him. Hikari still didn't understand why did those people want to hunt him down. he never did anything to them other than protecting himself. he just doing his best to avoiding from them starting another war. there was no reason for them to start a war and yet they still want to kill a person that precious to Hikari.

Yami told Hikari to return to his home and he will come there. Yami says that it was for Hikari and his own sake. Hikari understands it then he just returns to his home. Hikari mind went blind when he started to think about the real causes of that. He says by himself

"Just what is actually the next path that I will step on? Will, it ends with the success of this quest or war? I don't think the quest that guy gives to us got a connection with a war or battle. But why did we meet with those people?! I just don't- I just can't see it happen again. I have a question but I don't think I should answer it myself. So-"

Suddenly he heard someone knocked on his door. maybe that was Yami. So he just goes to open the door. But when he is going to open the door, he heard a girl's voice and he can recognize that voice. At that time, he just wondering "Just what did that Yami was trying to do? don't tell me he planned all of this with Aimi?! Maybe there was a possibility for it." But Hikari didn't want to just ignore that person even they're not too close. So Hikari just faces it. He opens the door and talks with that person.

He just saw that there was no one there other than that person. So maybe there was nothing bad about it. Hikari asks Ayasa "So what do you want?" Then Ayasa lends Hikari a mail. Ayasa says to Hikari to not misunderstand it. She says to Hikari that it was not a love letter but she just saw that Hikari dropped it before. But before Hikari lets her go, Hikari asks her "Just how did you know I live here? Are you-"

"D-Dumb! I already told you to not misunderstand it!! It just I ask Aimi and She asks your friends. I just want to return this to you. that's all!! So I should go now."

Hikari holds Ayasa and says "Would you mind if you spend some time with me? I just have something that I can do by myself." Ayasa just thinking that maybe was cooking or something. So she just gets inside the Hikari room.

Since there was no chair there, Hikari told Ayasa to sit beside his bed. Hikari just looked away and asks Ayasa "Hey, if you can choose to live or die. Which one you should take?" Ayasa was so weird when she hears that. Of course, she says to Hikari that she was going to live. Then Hikari asks her why did she choose that. Ayasa stands up and says "I don't know why you are asking me this question. But the answer will be to live. Because you can only live once. There was no way a person can be returned to life again. So the people must appreciate every second of their life." Hikari didn't say anything when he hears that. He just tries to smile and look at Ayasa. Just when did Ayasa saw Hikari smiles at her, she says to Hikari.

"Just what did make you happy just now? It's not a joke!"

Hikari says to Ayasa that he knows it was not a joke but it just to says that he was happy. Ayasa started thinking some other thought about it. But Hikari says that it was nothing. But when they were talking about it, there was someone who opened the door. Hikari saw that it was Yami, When Yami saw Ayasa was there too he just shut the door and wait for a minute.
