The All-American Boy version of Calderon jumped out of the window of the women's restroom.
He quickly walked to a corner and called out softly, "Little Nine, let's go."
"Brother!"
A slightly childish voice responded, and Calderon's face changed instantly upon hearing it.
Someone was with Little Nine!
Moreover, this person had managed to evade his detection and silently approach Little Nine.
Only a handful of people near the Forest of Truth could achieve such a feat.
A beast-like growl emerged from Calderon's throat, "Shadow Nine, get out here!"
Black mist rose and spread around.
Everyone within the black mist was forcibly pulled into another space.
Four figures stood:
A wary Calderon, a slightly nervous young boy, a youth clad in shadow armor, and... Shadow Nine.
Calderon quickly stepped forward, shielding Little Nine.
Little Nine tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, why are you fighting again..."
