Upon returning to the Seitenshi Residence, Noah was immediately sought out by Rentaro.
"Couldn't find them?"
In the corridors of the Seitenshi Residence, Noah listened to Rentaro's report and could not help but purse his lips.
"Looks like they fled when they realized things were going badly. They probably escaped to the Outer District."
When Koina Atsuro was escorted to the Police Station, Noah had flown directly to the international hotel to find Sogen Saitake.
Before leaving, Noah had asked Rentaro to trace the signal from the call between His Excellency and Koina Atsuro at the Self-Defense Force camp. The trace had ultimately led to the Central Control Development Organization.
Rentaro and Enju had then rushed there without pause.
However, by the time Rentaro and Enju arrived, the control room of the Central Control Development Organization had long been deserted.
"What should we do now?" Rentaro asked, sounding troubled.
"If everyone from the Five Wings Society has escaped to the Outer District, this will be difficult."
The Outer District was nothing but ruins. It was chaotic and had no surveillance cameras installed. Finding a few people there might not be quite like searching for a needle in a haystack, but they would have to be prepared to turn the entire Outer District upside down.
"It'll probably be difficult if we try to find them," Noah said, shaking his head.
"It would be another matter if Lady Seitenshi could still deploy enough manpower, but the Tokyo Area is a complete mess right now."
Soma Munekazu, commander of the Self-Defense Force, had been killed, while the Self-Defense Force headquarters he had stationed at had been bombed.
