Okay.

[ Thanks homie. Kougyoku checks the building - looks like her target hasn't come out yet! Time to bug Yata more.

Actually, there's one thing that's been bothering her... ]

Misaki, do you know anyone from HOMRA who uses both knives and a saber?

[battering]

[ ... five minute delay. he'd been wondering how to ask her about that ever since fushimi told him they'd met (yata: 0, kougyoku: 1). ]

ur talking about that idiot saru arent u

text

[redsea]

[ She's just anxious he will show up in the forest she was hiding in again. That's why she remembered! ]

Saru? He never told me his name.
I suppose that is him.
He upsets me. I do not like him.

[redsea]

I will.

[ What she doesn't tell Yata is he will be difficult to ignore after their first encounter. How do you ignore an (one-sided) enemy!? ]

He said many awful things about you and I, but I know they are not true.

[battering]

whatd he say?

text

[redsea]

[ ... She doesn't want to hurt Yata. ]

Would it make a difference if I told you?

text

[battering]

text

[redsea]

[ After some delay: ] That there is only one thing you care about.

text 1/2

[battering]

[ wow, Saru. way to be unoriginal. ]

text

[battering]

[ a second after that first text goes through-- ]

text

[redsea]

[ Stupid? She worried about it the for days! ... Ah. ]

Yeah.

[ Even if it was in the past, she can't believe she thought otherwise for a second. ]

text

[battering]

[redsea]

No, he won't come out.

text

[battering]

[ Wait a minute. ]

Misaki...
I think I'm lost.

[battering]

SHIT SHIT SHIIT
DO UR HAIRPIN THING
DONT GIVE UP KOUCHAN
IM ON MY WAY

[ on his way... somewhere?! whatever, he's running! in some random direction! ]

action

[redsea]

[ but she left her hairpin at homera to wear yata's gift instead—

also running in some random direction! yata might hear the faint screaming of a girl in the distance. it's getting closer, closer... then he'll hear sobbing. ]

Yataaaaa!

action

[battering]

[ ah, yes, he'd know that screaming and crying anywhere.

rushing in that direction until he finally spots the princess, which only makes him run faster, and once he catches up he's trying to multitask both looking her over and looking out for a wolf. ]

Kou-chan, are you hurt?! Where is it?!

action

[redsea]

[ Kougyoku hides behind Yata once she's near enough, and four wolves emerge from the forest. Kougyoku, what did you do...

The leader of the pack lunges at them. ]
