His only family...
Those words made White Noroi's fingertips twitch slightly.
Intense guilt welled up in his eyes, and he silently told himself that he had to find Kuroi.
He couldn't lose someone else's family.
Ding-dong-
A text notification chimed. Riko froze, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and pulled out her phone. When she saw the photo sent from "Misato," she cried out and immediately showed everyone-
The photo showed Kuroi Misato tied up after being knocked unconscious. The message also mentioned a hostage exchange.
"So it really is a hostage exchange..."
Geto exhaled.
"But at least this confirms that Miss Kuroi is safe for now."
Beside him, White Noroi also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he had some idea of her situation, he would definitely rescue her!
He absolutely refused to lose someone else's family.
The rescue went even more smoothly than he had imagined.
The enemy sent them the time and place for the hostage exchange: eleven the next morning, in Okinawa.
They all flew over. White Noroi had no idea how Gojo had bought his plane ticket, and could only marvel that he truly lived up to being the Gojo Clan's young master.
When the time came, Gojo activated his Six Eyes and White Noroi unleashed his mental power. They quickly pinpointed a building near the exchange site, successfully finding and rescuing Kuroi inside this branch of the Time Vessel Association.
Kuroi was a little dazed when she woke up. She only vaguely remembered being knocked out before losing consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, her Miss Riko was hugging her and sobbing uncontrollably.
It was already noon the next day. Had she... slept an entire day away?
Didn't that mean she had lost another day she could have spent with her
