When I woke up, I saw the ground.
It felt like my head was hanging low.
It was still dark all around me. I realized I was still in the dead of night.
The sensation on my body—warmth, a pleasant fragrance. It felt familiar somehow, as if this had happened before.
Am I being carried by someone?
When I shifted my gaze slightly, I saw a beautiful face right next to mine.
A familiar side profile—Shiwahime's face.
She was extremely close. Just a few centimeters away.
That explained the nice scent. I was being piggybacked by Shiwahime.
Come to think of it, wasn't I about to get killed by Chain and that white-haired teleport guy?
Right, Shiwahime had come to save me. And... so had Mr. Habu.
"Shiwahime-san, take Akatani-kun to the infirmary, okay? I've got reports and a lot of other stuff to take care of. So much work, you know?" Mr. Habu said, before heading into the building.
