Reacting to the events too late, Arisa, Mizuho, Jumpei and Kunihiko rushed to help Rei who had screamed and fallen to the floor on his buttocks.
—Rei, look at me, you're okay!—.
Arisa shouted when she saw her friend with her eyes lost.
—Kunihiko-kun bring me some alcohol, quickly!—.
-Go-.
Receiving Mizuho's order, he ran out to check the alcohol.
—Arisa-sempai help me take out her contact lenses—.
—No!... he's in shock, Jumpei-kun turn everything off while Kunihiko-kun brings the alcohol—.
—Tch… don't rush it—.
Jumpei commented irritably, turning off the contact lenses through the app, when he sees Kunihiko bring the alcohol bottle.
—Give me… Rin, wake up—.
—...cough, cough, cough, uh, uh, what happened?—.
Sigh! X4
Everyone relaxed when they saw her react, Rei saw everyone confused.
—What happened to the drone?—.
Making faces like they had eaten something disgusting, no one said anything.
—I see… failure, hehehe, at least we know it worked, we can do it again and buy better parts, from the program we made… It's still intact… We just have to do it… again, no need to worry, guys…—.
Unable to hold back her tears any longer, no one able to say a word to comfort her, Arisa hugged her, letting her cry into her chest.
—Why does everyone have such a long face?—.
No one had the courage to reply, they only saw Javier entering with a fire extinguisher in one hand and in the other, a charred drone with foam residue from the extinguisher.
Plash
—It must be said that it caught fire very well, it took me a while to put it out, the good thing is that the guard didn't notice anything, otherwise I'd have to give a long lecture.
Someone smiling while others were depressed, the strange way of acting relaxed and unconcerned irritated Kunihiko.
—You can shut up. Go away! This is the programming club's business, not some stranger's.
Being able to contain his excitement, Kunihiko fixed his glasses before throwing Javier out, but Javier ignored him.
—But what are you saying, I have a lot to do, Rei-sempai promised me a handmade bento to help them—.
—Go away, your way of acting bothers me.
—Arisa-sempai, I don't think that's a way to ask for things—.
Javier shook his head, now irritated, Kunihiko and Jumpei approached Javier.
—I heard, I heard, I'm against violence.
He said raising his hands.
—If you are, leave, we don't want to see your face near our club.
—Impossible, my club is next door, I'll have to watch them, bad luck, sempai—.
—You've already screwed me, asshole.
Losing his temper, Jumpei raised his fist wanting to punch the annoying smile.
Javier, with that carefree air, with the palm of his hand, touched the forearm, moving in another direction and moving a few steps to the side, Jumpei fell to the ground.
-Damned-.
Kunihiko, also enraged, lunged forward, trying to kick him in the side. Javier stepped aside, and he delivered a small kick to the leg that was keeping him upright, causing him to fall backward.
—Guys, you saw the violence, it's not the solution, now...—.
Approaching after passing by the corpses of men from the programming club, literally, he approached, Mizuho and Arisa covered Rei.
—Hey, why are you treating me like the bad guy?
—Because you're bad, I feel a certain danger if I associate with you—.
—...Seriously, Mari-chan—.
—Don't call me Mari-chan, I barely know you—.
—I understand… so… mmm, what was your name?—.
He asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
—You know my nickname, but you forget my last name, are you stupid?—.
—Iyaaa, ahahaha—.
—I don't see why you're blushing—.
—So, Rei-sempai, come on, why are you still crying?—.
—But, but... it was our project, one we'd built with every drop of our sweat. We worked on vacation, attended courses, seminars, but now it's all gone up in smoke... it's unfair.
Sharing the feelings that left his sad heart, what Javier did was take his phone.
(Javier, where are you? I'm waiting with what you wanted.)
—I'm really sorry I'm going to be a little late, but before we start, would you do me a favor?
(Favor? What kind of favor?)
—Ah, a simple one, I'll pay you when you bring it to me, I just want a drone and a processor with two R cores—.
(What do you want that for?)
—Something important, nothing out of the ordinary, so what do you say, will you buy it for me?—.
(In half an hour I will be delivering it to you, a specific model).
—Let me think... Do you hear any model that you like or do you want one like it?—.
—...—.
Unable to know how to respond to the casual question he asked them, Javier just said.
"A simple one will suffice, I also want eight Kuper 23 anti-coolant patches, a set of Clover 002 contact lenses, a set of thick non-prescription lenses, a sheet of x9283i212 glass and also a third-generation Xoler v1 scanner, that will be enough for me.
(You know some things are industrial and military, what do you plan to do with those materials?)
—Relax, it's not for anything bad, I'm just investing for the future... who knows what crops I might get. How long will it take you to get it?—
(Give me an hour and I'll get it for you)
—Okay, you already know my house address, but I'll tell you so you don't have to search. Highway 93, you'll notice a detour there. Turn right in and after half a kilometer you'll see the ruler. Someone will take what I ordered. I'll send you my real-time location in half an hour.
(Okay, I hope)
Hanging up without intervening more than necessary. Javier notices that they've been staring at him.
—Mm, did I get soot on my face?—
Touching her face, Rei approached him with teary red eyes.
—Because he's helping us, you didn't say it was to get closer to me, now you say you want to harvest in the future—.
—Well, I'll have to disappoint you, since the spare parts are simple and I know I'll die early, but I don't regret it, hahaha!—.
-Idiot-.
Rei said as she watched Javier laugh at his own future.
—I'm a fool and now and then and then...—.
Moving like a crab on each side and his hands like an octopus, making Rei smile to the girls and boys of the programming club.
—Ahaha, what's that, are you stupid or what?
—Well, I'm just fine with being your fool.
—Casanova, but I'm sorry, my future is only in programming—.
—Uuuuu—.
Discouraged, Javier tries to leave the terrace.
—Hey, wait a minute!—.
—Mmm, what do you want, Aoyama-sempai?—.
Turning slowly, Javier sees Kunihiko sad.
—How to say it, sorry—.
-By-.
—I jumped to conclusions and just thought you wanted to get closer to Rei-sempai because you were sad about the project failing, and how do I put it? I misunderstood, so I'm sorry.
—But if you're not mistaken, if they hadn't been here, I would have taken every liberty of courting her, and I would have succeeded before or after her graduation.
—W...—.
—Ahaha, your face is funny, Aoyama-sempai—.
—I hate you, you know—.
—Ahaha and you won't be the only one, well, with that said and done, whose house are we at today?
—Hmm?—. x5
Tilting my head in bewilderment at what Javier said, I explain.
—The presentation is tomorrow, you won't have time to sleep if you don't do it now, someone with more experience must supervise from scratch and said and done I will, Mari-sempai, Arisa-sempai, we will have to make arrangements to improve the contact lenses and some lenses at the same time, Aoyama-sempai, Fujiwara-sempai, with you we will perfect the security system and we will improve the interactive form of the software—.
-One moment-.
Stopping, Javier, about to leave, sees Rei approaching quickly.
—Who told you you'd be taking over, oh, and who said we'd be going to one of our houses?—.
"Why? You must have stayed home when you started this project. You have a spare from the previous drone. It must be somewhere safe, since the school won't let us stay that long, don't you think?"
—Y-you're right... Fine, we'll stay at my house, Ari, ask your father for permission, and the rest of us will also stay up all night... As for you, you can come, but no touching—.
—Okay—.
Relaxing at the nod, Rei stares at the crispy shell of her drone.
—Look, it's crispy…—.
—Oh, 'Mirai/future', was the name of the drone.
—Yes, after much debate it was named 'Mirai/future', since it will be something that could affect our future.
Mari explained that she was beginning to collect the cameras and cables.
—I see, now we'll make Mirai 2. Better than its predecessor—.
—It seems so...—.
Half an hour later, everyone boarded the empty train. The first to stay were Mizuho and Kunihiko at the sixth stop, heading to the next station, Jumbei. Arisa, Rei, and Javier, who accompanied them, got off three stops later.
—10 stations, you couldn't have chosen a closer institute—.
—Look, who's talking, you don't live by the road.
—And from what I heard, you live on the Northeast Highway.
—Uhmm—.
Unable to refute Rei's and then Arisa's words, he remained silent until he arrived in front of a normal two-story house.
—Rei, I'm going to change, then I'll come back and get some tools to create the glasses.
Saying goodbye, Arisa entered the bone-white house that was next to Rei's house, which, by the way, is gray.
—Let's go in—.
Passing the small enclosure where there were pots of flowers, about to bloom.
—Excuse me... oh, thank you—.
Receiving some slippers from Rei, Javier begins to take off his shoes.
—Honey, you came a little late, something happened at school.
Hearing the female voice coming from the living room, Rei signaled me to wait in the hallway before going to talk to her mother.
-Cozy-.
Javier smiled as he watched with his own eyes how green particles of light fluttered everywhere. Looking a little further, he saw the end of the hallway that led to other rooms, but it was dark and straight ahead were the stairs to the second floor.
—Kohai, you can come in, I already talked to my mom—.
As Javier passed by, his gaze lit up, and he saw a woman in her mid-30s. She had short brown hair, small eyes with light mint irises, a well-groomed figure, and was wearing a long floral-print skirt and a sleeveless blouse.
—Good evening, sorry to interrupt your night, my name is Javier Valderrama, Miss Stark—.
—Ara, ara, what a well-behaved child… I'm Rei's mother, Stark Chisato—.
Javier introduces himself with a bow to Rei's mother, Chisato, who stands and greets him with a greeting smile.
—I seriously didn't think she was Rei-sempai's mother, my first impression was that she was his older sister.
—Hehe, you have a sweet mouth, young man, look at my lack of courtesy, you can sit down, do you want something to drink?
—Water would be nice, thanks—.
Going to the kitchen, Javier looks at Rei with a smile as he stares at him.
—Rei-sempai something is wrong—.
—Knowing you, I'd think they were trying to seduce my mom with pretty words.
—You have so little confidence in me, Rei-sempai, and besides, we only met a few hours ago. How can you say that about me? You offend me.
—Seriously, what I heard on the terrace about the plan to fall in love, you seemed like that kind of person.
Shaking his head, Javier answered with a serious face.
—You're wrong. This house is filled with peace and love. Your parents must love each other very much, and I have a policy that, as long as a married couple or a couple is happy, I never stick my nose in.
—You mean you'll bring them in if you see trouble—.
—Yes, as long as it's not to the point of simple arguments or misunderstandings, I wouldn't get involved, but if the relationship is already so bad that it doesn't matter what I do, as long as I'm interested in the girl, I'll be there, oh—.
—...—.
Rei, not knowing if the boy in front of her was serious or joking, shook her head at his actions, but she couldn't hate that way of thinking either.
—Here… Your name was Javier-kun, right? Your parents are aware that you're staying here tonight.
—...thank you...it's a difficult subject to address...I lost them a year ago, now I'm living with my cousins—.
—Sorry...etto, Rei go bathe and change you... What's in the pillowcase?—.
—... I-I'll be right there—.
Stunned by the news from Javier's parents, she left without saying anything.
Chisato, being kind, apologized sincerely and changed the subject to the pillowcase Javier had left next to the furniture.
—This is Mirai, the drone that your daughter and her club friends built—.
—Wow, my god, look how she turned out... my little girl must have been devastated when this happened, but if they don't have the drone they're going to make anymore, they don't have the resources to buy another one.
—Don't worry, that's what I'm here for. I offered to help Rei-sempai by giving them a new drone and new parts.
Left alone with the sound of the television on, Chisato, as a mother, frowned and looked seriously at Javier.
—I don't mean to be disrespectful, but giving these kinds of things to someone you barely know isn't believable. What you're trying to do by giving this to my daughter's friends.
—Nothing, but I didn't let him go for free either.
—You really asked them, if it's money, I can meet with the other parents and give it to you—.
—It's not money—.
Javier interrupted before continuing.
—I asked Rei-sempai for a bento every day—.
—... Ehehehe—.
—...—.
-What a beautiful smile, the bad thing is that she's married-.
Enjoying the atmosphere, I left what was left of the 'Mirai' drone on the table.
—Wow, look how I look.
"We were on the school roof testing it, but suddenly it burst into flames and crashed into the garden. I quickly went down with a fire extinguisher, but it wouldn't go out, so I kicked it and..."
—Ehehehe, the way you tell it, it seems like it was an odyssey to put it out… Are you hungry?—.
-Don't worry...-.
Riiinnn Riinnn
—Excuse me, I'll step out for a moment. It seems the order I placed has arrived.
—Then I'll make you some Onigiri—.
—No, seriously, don't worry, I'm fine, excuse me.
—Ehehe, you don't seem shy enough to propose something so direct to my daughter.
Giggling mischievously, Chisato stood up and went to the kitchen.
Javier, who left the house and went out to the street, saw a black car and a man in a suit next to him was Ryuto.
—They're in front of the door, your friend in a maid outfit is there too, oh —.
—Okay, here's your stuff.
Showing the two chests filled with Sapphire and Celestil crystals that appeared on the asphalt, Javier takes out a simple ring if not seen by an expert guarding the chests in it, handing it to Ryuto.
-You're sure?-.
Nodding, Ryuto held nothing back, taking the ring with trembling hands, placing it on his index finger and with one hand signaling to the person who accompanied him, taking a thick, silver briefcase out of the trunk.
—What you asked for and your maid friend already took what was promised—.
—Ok… by the way, Ryuto, what happened after yesterday's incident?—.
Stopping in his tracks, he looks over his shoulder and says as he climbs into the vehicle.
—I knew you'd ask me, since you're not in contact with any sources of information, but at the bottom of the briefcase there's an envelope with all the information about what happened.
Leaving, Javier watched as the black vehicle disappeared. Gazing briefly into the cloudy night, unable to see the stars, much less the moon, he entered Rei's house.
Sitting back down on the armchair, he put the destroyed drone back in its case, before placing the briefcase on the table and opening it with a bit of arcane energy.
—Oh, so this is the new drone, it looks much better than the one my daughter bought… what do you like to drink, green tea or some juice?
—I'll leave it to you, but seriously, don't bother, I'm sorry I'm putting you in this difficult situation.
—What are you saying? You're not putting me in any trouble. My husband hasn't come home from work yet, so you can't refuse me some onigiri, right?
—Ahahaha, some onigiri would be excellent—.
No longer able to refuse Chisato's food, he watched her go back to the kitchen while Javier began to search the bottom of his briefcase, where he found an envelope.
[Report]: Abnormal God Incident.
At 9:00 PM, the reaction of the sleeping Gods after the fall of the Arcane energy was visually confirmed all over the world.
The governments and ruling entities of the underworld are investigating on their own what has caused the Gods to react, but have not yet made a report.
The Ryuto clan of the eight golden fish, which has resided in Japan since ancient times, is being investigated, as it is known to have been the first pillar to appear. Their leader Ryuto Korei, after awakening, is under surveillance by the seven clans, but nothing has been heard yet, as his only response is that the God of the Ryutos has made him remain silent, causing the investigation to stagnate.
The Emperor of Japan and the eight goldfish have unanimously decided to remain silent after this explanation to the outside world.
Hours after the Pillars Incident, several clan bases in allied countries have been attacked by the enemy force that has been represented as (Under Resurrection), by the few that have been able to capture its members and the high command has a single purpose that they represent with their slogan.
{The time of the era of peace is over, once again the Gods will rise to rule this world}
It has been confirmed by the information received that the members who attacked various clans were mostly members who participated in the First and Second World Wars. The terrorists' base has not yet been located.
Under this premise of unknown enemies, strict security measures have been taken by each country and their respective arcane mages.
Covering his face with both hands, the envelope and the report vanished without leaving a scent or trace of their existence, but that didn't interest Javier, so he let out a deep, painful sigh.
-I will never negotiate again until it is my territory-.
Unable to do anything about the spilled milk, he lay back and craned his neck as far back as he could until the front door opened and closed, revealing a man's voice.
—My love has arrived!—.
Walking quickly out of the kitchen, Chisato, wearing an apron to dry her hands, responded affectionately.
—Welcome, my love, let me help you take out the bag—.
—Thanks, what are you doing?—.
—Umm, oh, you mean like this? Well, Rei's friends are staying tonight and—.
—And who are you? I've never seen you, boy.
Interrupting Chisato in front of the intruder who was sitting in his living room, Javier immediately stopped to say hello.
—Good evening, Sue, said Mr. Stark, my name is Javier Valderrama, I am a friend of your daughter, I came to help your daughter and her friends.
Javier could feel himself being examined from head to toe by Rei's father, who waited patiently.
—You were going to say, father-in-law, right?
—No, no, of course not, I never would, Sue, said Mr. Stark.
—You—.
—Hehehe, stop choking him, dear Javier-kun, the onigiri will be ready soon, dear, wash your hands so you can eat—.
—I'm going to change and take a shower.
—Well, you'll have to wait until Rei is in it now.—
Rei's father stopped, went to wash his hands and sat at the table while he waited for Chisato to serve him his food.
Looking at Javier again, he signaled for him to sit at the table.
-Excuse me-.
Javier said, sitting down.
—Tell me, boy, how old are you?—.
—16 years old, I'm in my first year—.
"Mmm, and tell me, your parents, what do they do for work?
—... My father was the president of a modeling agency in Europe, my mother was a cosmetologist, although that's in the past now.
-Past...-.
Not understanding what Javier meant, he opened his mouth to ask what he meant when a small blow hit him in the side.
—Hey, what's up?—
—...—.
Chisato, Rei's father, shook his head, understanding what Javier meant.
—I understand, I'm sorry if I was inconsiderate to you—.
—Don't worry, oh thank you, Chisato-san—.
—Hey, when did you get the freedom to refer to my wife by her name?
—Darling, it's normal, if he calls us by our last name it would be strange who he was referring to, besides what are you complaining about, chu, if I'm your wife—.
Showing his affection in front of Javier, Rei's father coughed, blushing his cheeks to pick up his chopstick and eat, pretending not to.
—You can eat, Javier, it shouldn't take long, Rei. Dear, after you bathe, I hope you don't bother the boys, they'll be busy.
—Mmmm… kaku Stark… my name—.
—Ohhh, nice to meet you, Kaku-san, and what do you do for a living, if I may ask?—
—Joo… you want to know, but I'll tell you: I'm not in an important position, I'm just a simple accounting employee.
Javier, his eyes shining upon hearing Kaku's profession, took an onigiri and began his conversation.
—I see… it must be difficult, the other departments don't know how difficult it is to be an accountant—.
—Ohh—.
Now interested, Kaku put down his chopsticks.
"I understand that, since I used to help a friend of my father with the numbers. Those heads of other departments always think there's a budget, but they don't realize the hard work involved. They ask for numbers and numbers. If a number doesn't add up, it's like a fire in the accounting department."
—Exactly, you understand. Those idiots don't know anything. They think money grows on trees. You have to monitor every delivery that comes in, everyone's spending; you have to make a graph of sales and percentage losses...—
Engulfed in a heated business conversation about the value of the Japanese stock market, Rei entered the room.
—...mommy, what's going on, oh—.
—Your father seems to have taken a liking to Javier-kun, look how happy they are chatting, now come and tell your mother how you met him—.
-Hey...-.
Rei, not understanding what she meant, made her sit down.
Chisato, somewhat excited, began.
"I heard the guy's helping you after what happened, and I just want a bento from you as a reward. Tell me how you did it, and why he'll help you."
—Hey, hey, what are you saying, Mommy? We're just friends. Besides, I only met him today. How could you know? Besides, I promised him it wouldn't cost him anything else. There's no affection, nor do I have any feelings for him.
—Then you'll have problems.
Turning her gaze to Javier and Kaku talking like friends about numbers, Chisato having fun, she touched her cheeks.
—Your father seems to like the boy, look at the way they talk… Rei, if you don't want this to be misunderstood, be clear, your mother supports you.
—I don't have to do it, I already told you I wasn't interested in my father, and it has nothing to do with who my boyfriend is.
—Okay, come to the table, I'll serve you.
Understanding Rei's decision, Chisato headed to the kitchen.
Sitting around the table, Javier's conversation with Kaku stopped.
—Daughter, your friend is very interesting how you met him—.
—I was standing in front of the programming club and invited him—.
—You're lying, you were angry when I arrived. I just went to say hello, but when I told him about the improvements you could make to your presentation, he grabbed my arm and threw me into the club, locking it so I couldn't escape.
—That's not true!—.
—Of course not, tell me somewhere I haven't told the truth—
—...—.
—Hahahaha, good, good, Rei has the same temper as her mother, hahahaha—.
-Father!-.
—Now, now, darling, what are you saying about me?
Abruptly stopping Kaku's laughter, he turns to see his wife Chisato smiling.
—Rei, here's your food. I left some snacks in the fridge for when the others arrive. Honey, finish your food while it's getting cold, and let's go to the room.
-... Yes my love-.
Javier, who threw a small onigiri into his mouth, looked at the couple and realized who had the pants in the relationship.
—Cough, I'm leaving. Try not to tire yourself out. Tomorrow is the day you've been waiting for... Don't push yourself too hard, Javier.
—Yessss, dad—.
—I won't, thank you for your concern.
Going to the kitchen with his plate, he took a while and left the room.
—Your parents are interesting Rei-sempai—.
—Well, thanks, they've always been like that... by the way, I wanted to ask you: but in that briefcase?—.
—The drone and the rest—.
Getting up quickly, he opened the briefcase that had been left open. His eyes shone like a turquoise jewel.
—O-ohhh, ehehehe, what a beautiful dual-core processor, it's the first time I've seen one and I can touch it mmmm—.
—You look like a child receiving your Christmas present, Rei-sempai—.
—Leave me alone, besides, one doesn't get the chance to appreciate such a fabulous piece of technology and design.
Entering into a kind of euphoria upon having the dual-core processor container in his hands, to the point of kissing it.
—To think that the first-generation dual-core processor, did you know that the company that manufactured it is in Germany and is called (Märchenträume), which means dream fairy. It was the first company to create a 50-core processor, which are as small as a molecule, which is why they named it dual-core regeneration, since it has 25 for performance and 25 more efficient ones with 63 subprocessors...—.
No longer bothering to listen to Rei, Javier examines the new drone for the first time, as well as its electronic components. He glances down at some envelopes covered in an airtight sleeve made of special materials for cooling sheets and maps out the most efficient way to use the new dual-core R processor in his head.
-Hmm, I hope the store has a book on repairing and soldering electronic components or something like that.
Going to the store, Javier hurriedly looked for something that would make it easier for him, but he noticed that there were books that were blocked, but he decided to leave them alone, since he had no interest.
—... ah, sorry if you got bored, huh! My chatter bothers you so much, Javier—.
—No, not only did a little bit of dirt get in my eye, but nothing more.
Making easy excuses, the reason she cried was the price of the book.
[Electronic Repair Basics. Price: 2,000,890]
-I lost two million h points for a basic book… I hope it's worth it-.
—I see, but tell me, your friend must know a lot to get these fabulous items that are like an arm and a leg.
—... I have a lot of money so I don't lack anything and my friend and I have an association so I don't have any problems.
—Ohhhh, these are the clover 002 glasses, they were designed in the United States…—.
—Rei-sempai if you don't finish this, I'll kiss you—.
Part joke, part serious, Javier approached as Rei entered the loop of unbridled euphoria as a gadget connoisseur.
—Stop…—.
He covered Javier's face as he approached, pushing him back.
—Damn, one careless moment and you already want to take advantage of the situation, you're more determined than you seem, huh—.
—And what can I do when I have a beautiful woman in front of me—.
—Yes, yes, you must tell that to women all the time.
Not bothering or interested in Javier's advances, Rei turned around and put the box containing the processor in the briefcase.
—Come with me and get the briefcase, we'll go to the garage—.
—Mn, do you have a garage?—.
Javier replied, taking the briefcase following Rei.
—No, but it's better to call it a garage. It used to be the cellar in the small courtyard. My father, seeing how everything had been decided by the schedule, fixed it up, enlarged the cellar a bit, and now it's the garage, but it's better to see it than to say it.
Leaving through the kitchen door, they both went down the hallway that connected the patio and the enclosure. They saw a small courtyard in one corner with a white-painted storage room. It was three and eight meters long, and four ventilation fans could be seen on the wall.
—Come in, it's a little cramped, but this is where the programming club does most of its work on holidays.
Inviting him through the small tin and cardboard door, the lights came on and inside, a black marble counter, almost a meter wide and seven meters long, could be seen.
—Fabulous looks like one of those lairs of mad geniuses—.
—It seems so, but only somewhat smart students meet here, nothing more—.
Javier stared at the electronic equipment and devices on the marble floor. Beneath it were computer cases filled with motherboards of various designs, processors, cables, old power supplies, and other items.
—I see some motherboards, you're using the good parts they have—.
—Uh, yeah, I got some of them, you never know when I'll be able to use their small components.
—Ommm, so you reuse, that's perfect, I also see some exploded capacitors, resistors in good use, you even have a shelf with materials, solders, wires for welding, a multimeter, toolbox, bolts, this if I'm not mistaken this screen is used to scan and see, but if some component is shorted, what is it called—.
—Analytic pess, it's not the newest, but it works for what we have at hand—.
—Hmmp, and when do the others think they'll arrive?
—I don't think they'll take any longer... It's 9:37—.
Listening to the time, Javier looked up at the ceiling for a moment and let out a laugh.
—What's funny?—.
—Rei-sempai, we're alone here, aren't you afraid I'll attack you?
-Hey!-.
