Things Were Getting Lively

After the door opened, Kazami Yuuya immediately saw three people lying in the restroom.

Two of them were police officers. They were completely motionless, already unconscious.

The other wore a filthy inn uniform and had an opaque cleaning bag over his head. He let out delayed wails as he twisted and struggled.

"..."

Kazami Yuuya froze for a moment at the scene of apparent mutual destruction.

Then he quickly realized that the police had no reason to suddenly put a cleaning bag over Jinbo Daixiong's head and block his vision.

Combined with what Jinbo Daixiong had said earlier about that "mysterious pervert"...

Kazami Yuuya thought of something and abruptly looked up at the window.

There, sitting on the outer edge of the side window frame, was a person.

Hearing the movement at the door, the man turned his head.

Fluffy black natural curly hair, a pair of light-tinted sunglasses perched on his nose... The combination was so familiar that it made Kazami Yuuya's heart tremble—just the day before yesterday, he had crawled through the ventilation ducts of the entire police station in Tottori Prefecture searching for this mysterious man, who supposedly had the surname "Kurosawa," yet for some reason was always called "Matsuda" by Furuya-san.

...Who would have thought that he had been impossible to find then, only to suddenly show up now... Tottori and Gunma were nowhere near each other. Had Kurosawa come here with Furuya-san?!

Kazami Yuuya's mind raced, short-circuiting for a moment as he hesitated between pretending to be a stranger who did not know him and running over to pin him down.

In that brief half-second, the mysterious man by the window leisurely waved at him, then suddenly braced himself with one hand and jumped out the window, vanishing from Kazami Yuuya's sight.

"..."
