"Kurono has disappeared?"
After returning from the Bug Beast mission, Xu Yue was somewhat surprised to discover that both Kurono and Inokyuu Sei, who lived next door, had vanished without a trace!
Not only were they gone from their residence, they had not appeared at school either.
Clearly, something must have happened.
Xu Yue then contacted Ka to find out what had happened.
Although MIB was usually only responsible for cleaning up after the Black Orb Squad's operations,
because of the Black Orb Squad members' importance, they still kept a close eye on them whenever possible.
Ka in particular had always paid close attention to the Black Orb Squad.
"They suffered heavy losses in the last mission. Only that group that seemed to have received military training survived unharmed, along with that cautious brat Nishi Jōichirō. Everyone else died."
Ka spoke with a calm expression. The Black Orb Squad's members being replaced was perfectly normal. Other than super elites like Xu Yue, who had earned his recognition, everyone else was merely a disposable tool in his eyes.
"Oh, well, that really is..."
Xu Yue had assumed that, protected by the Son of Destiny's luck, Kurono would not die so quickly after just one mission.
Who would have thought that Xu Yue would merely be assigned a temporary mission by the Black Ball, and Kurono would actually kick the bucket?
Still, it made sense when he thought about it. A Gantz protagonist could hardly call himself a protagonist without dying once or twice.
Besides, Kurono still had a chance to be revived!
Leaving aside the possibility that Xu Yue might choose to revive him if offered suitable compensation, Kato would certainly do everything in his power to bring Kurono back.
Yes, Kato had died, but Nishi Jōichirō had revived him.
