An hour earlier.
At the entrance of Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, after parting ways with Ayakoji Chiyoko, Kagura Hikaru walked off in a direction different from the crowd.
Just around the corner, he received a text message from Ayakoji Chiyoko.
Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Meet here (navigation location.jpg)."
Ayakoji Chiyoko: "I am waiting for you here."
Kagura Hikaru searched it and discovered it was a back alley in a nearby residential area.
In that case, apart from local residents and those delivering newspapers or packages, essentially no one else would be around, let alone students from Yuqiu High School.
From the direction everyone had departed, the chances of encountering them were slim.
Kagura Hikaru walked toward the location given by the navigation, sending an 'ok' emoji to Ayakoji Chiyoko.
He then closed her chat window, brought up the dialing interface, and dialed a well-memorized phone number.
Beep, beep, beep... click.
It connected.
"Hello? Mister Hikaru?"
