He did not want to die without knowing why.
As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed an aura that was both unfamiliar and familiar.
A long-haired man with spiky hair appeared before the mist.

So he had not investigated further.
Until just now.
The signal had started becoming unstable again.
And it was not merely intermittent; it had remained unstable the entire time.
This meant that Kitahara Kaede was in an
