• 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥. 💋 -

• A street of office buildings a little away from the downtown area of ​​Miserand.

• RYO-YA walked down the back streets as if he was used to it, and went to the back of a parking lot. Then, as if lying in wait from behind, a figure stepped on RYO-YA's shadow.

"...What business does the guardian of Vendetta have at Traumerei's headquarters?"

"Good evening, Mr. Perfect. I'm honored that you know me."

• There was no one else around, and RYO-YA and Touya continued talking without looking at each other.

"It's because of his notoriety. If it was my store, I'd be fired immediately."

"It's Tenma and Keith who are causing trouble, and my job is to clean up after them. Today, the chairman's precious pet seems to have escaped, so I'm helping him find it. What about you?"

"What a coincidence, I'm also looking for something. But it seems there was a customer here today, so I'll change my mind. I don't want to be suspected."

"..."

• The corners of Touya's eyes twitch slightly. His hint seemed to have paid off. Tomoya must have been doing something at the office other than searching for RYO-YA.

"I'll keep our meeting here a secret... I don't know your circumstances, but if you don't want to die, you'd better not oppose that man. That's a word of advice."

• As if resigned to his position, Tomoya turned on his heels and disappeared into the darkness, waving one hand. As soon as he was out of sight, RYO-YA began to get out of breath, and realized how tense he had been.
• (What's the point of valuing my life now? I'm going to die anyway if I don't do anything.)
• Staring at the skyscraper towering before him, RYO-YA clenched his sweaty hands.
