"That's quite enough."
They all turned to see two figures emerging from the rooftop access door, one of them was Tanaka. It was a young man in an impeccable black suit, walking calmly despite the chaos around him. His gray hair was perfectly styled, and his expression was one of mild disapproval.
"Oh, your Butler's arrived, Ryouta," Azame said with amusement.
The old man surveyed the scene with the same expression someone might use when discovering a mess in the kitchen. "Young Master Ryouta," he said in a cultured voice, "I believe we've discussed the appropriate venues for testing advanced weaponry."
"Ren," Ryouta said weakly. "I can explain—"
"I'm sure you can." Ren walked calmly over to where the quantum blade was embedded in the concrete. "However, explanations can wait until after we've resolved this little... situation."
