Seeing Aikawa Kaze look at him as though he were an idiot, Uraume felt his heart sink.
Had that bastard Curse screwed him over again? Was this not Aikawa Kaze's weakness at all?!
Would he have to fight his way out?
Recalling the presence he had sensed when he tried to leave the Barrier earlier, Uraume's mouth twitched. Much as he hated to admit it, he didn't seem to be a match for Aikawa Kaze.
Damn it!
"Do you really not care about your last link to your friends?!"
Uraume tightened his grip on the NS slightly. Cracks gradually spread across the console's casing; any more pressure would probably break it.
Only then did Aikawa Kaze finally realize what this meant.
His first reaction had been that Uraume was threatening him with his game saves, which made him think the guy was a complete clown. But now that he thought about it...
This was his fucking link to his friends and family in the Detective World!
Aikawa Kaze was certain that the NS on which he had first seen his friends' and family's avatars light up was still in his Four-Dimensional Pocket. The one in Uraume's hand... was probably one of the unopened consoles he had piled up in the Dormitory.

In other words, it could link that channel to every electronic device he owned. The unopened NS consoles piled up in the Dormitory belonged
