Aozawa returned to his villa. His translucent form gradually became visible as he deactivated his Transformation Ability, reverting to his original appearance, and immediately picked up the cellphone on the table.
There were messages from Ayatsuki Ayaka and Hojo Tetsuji.
Aozawa unlocked the phone, patiently responded to Ayatsuki Ayaka's messages, and tactfully expressed that he had something to do at the moment and would talk to her later.
"Okay, Saeko and I are outside the Tokyo Dojo. Look how many people are here," she said.
The message was quickly marked as read. Ayatsuki Ayaka took a photo and sent it over. Her photography skills had improved, turning the crowded flow of people into a backdrop; the high angle of the raised cellphone captured the mountains, making them appear as if among the clouds. This semi-visible state made one yearn to pierce through the fog to clear skies.
"Have fun," Aozawa texted.
