The Siths arrived on the fifth floor, crossing the hallway and coming in front of the stairs leading to the rooftop.

In front of the stairs, there is a door.

It's a door set up to keep the students from getting to the roof easily.

"... hey. Speaking of which, is there a key on the roof?

"... but I didn't get it"

In front of its doors, the Siths stood still.

Yes, the roof is locked.

The door in front of you and the door that goes out onto the roof.

Those two places.

I can't get in without the keys.

"... in a transceiver, I'll listen and see"

Rona started contacting the helicopter's crew at the transceiver she borrowed from Hanzo.

Cicito, meanwhile, haunts his mind as to what to do.

"Hmmm...... hmm? Hey, what's up? Cottori?"

When Cicito was troubled, Cottori pulled Cicito's arm a little.

When Cicito turns to Cotri, Cotri silently points a finger at Cotri himself.

"Huh? You want me to leave it to myself?

Cottori nodding with Cottori.

Kotri walked straight to the door, and when he stood in front of the door, he roughly removed a thin metal stick from his pocket.

"... what, that?

"Wire"

With that said, Kotori begins to push the stick into the door keyhole and move it.

"No, that's right, it should open with something like that..."

When Cicito was perplexed, Cottori's hand, which was moving, stopped at all costs.

"Oh no..."

Cottori puts his hand on the knob of the door and twists.

"... won't open"

"Right."

The door was locked.

Cottori drops the wire from his hand.

And began to cry quietly.

"No, Kotri!? What's the matter with you? Why?"

The hasty Cicito rushes over to Cotri.

"Because... it won't open..."

"No, it didn't open, but crying about nothing..."

"Because Cicito was... working hard"

"Huh?"

"Cicito was so cool, so was I."

Saying so, Kotori buries his face in Cisito's chest.

In the meantime, Cottori's head, Cicito stroked.

Cicito just took Rona and the others' hand.

Cottori seemed to be working very hard and looking cool about that Cicito.

So I guess I tried my best to do something myself.

Cicito, stroking Cotri's head, looked for any way.

The doors in front of the rooftops are easy to build made of wood, like objects installed later on.

You may be able to break it even if you can't open it.

With that in mind, Cicito wonders if there are any tools that can break the door.

Shh.

chair.

Fire extinguishers.

……

They're all going to be able to destroy the door, but it's going to take time.

While Cicito is conceiving, Rona finishes the communication.

"... how'd it go?

"Mr. Miyama is getting off the chopper and unlocking it. Yes, but it looks like he's struggling...... what's wrong? Anything wrong?

Rona tilts her neck as she sees Cottori clinging to Cisito.

"No, Kotri failed to unlock it."

"Oh...... well, the door is made of wood, so I guess I should break it, what shall I do? At the very least, I think we should do something about this door... because we don't have a hammer or anything, so it's gonna take a while."

"Ah."

Cicito points to Rona, who was scratching her head like she was in trouble.

"What's the matter with you?

"That's it!

Cicito leaves Cottori and approaches Rona.

"Huh? Hey, what is it?

Ignoring Rona, confused by the sudden approaching of Cicito, Cicito takes Rona's hand.

"... I wonder if I can use this"

What was in that Rona's hand was the pistol Hanzo gave Rona.

"... what are you going to do with this?

"Hanzo's talking about this gun, there's gonna be a shotgun, right? If you shoot a few shots, can you break this door? It's good in movies and stuff."

"Hmmm......? Sure, but that kind of thing is done with a special bullet..."

To Cicito's suggestion, I'm not very enthusiastic, Rona.

Cicito takes the gun away from Rona like that.

"Ah, here!

"I don't have time for this. Let's give it a try. Even if it doesn't open, if the scratch gets in, it's easier to break..."

Just point it at the door, Cicito putting up a gun.

Pull the trigger.

... nothing happens.

"... that?

"You're an idiot! Don't even ask me for an explanation. Suddenly I'm trying to shoot a gun! The gun has a safety device on it so you can't shoot it without disarming it! Give it to me!"

Now, Rona takes the gun from Cicito.

"And the place to shoot is too close. In that position, the fragments might fly!

Rona keeps Cicito and Cotri away from the door.

"Damn... look, now I can shoot you. And then I'll show you how to shoot."

Rona, let Cicito have the gun.

"Even so, I'm not familiar with it either, just a few times, because I just shot him to the point of upbringing. Seems like people shoot each other...... anyway, the gun is to hold it tight with both hands. And keep your hands straight... yes. So, all you have to do is set your aim and pull the trigger."

Cicito pulls the trigger, as he was told.

The bullet fired with a noise that was smaller than I thought, scattered a small metal bullet.

……

For a moment, Rona and Cicito lost their words.

The bullet fired lightly because it was shattering a door made of wood.

"You're open."

"You opened it, or it broke."

Two people flashed by the sight so much that happened in front of them.

"... aah"

"Cottori!?

Cottori, having just seen its destruction, has lost his mind.

In a hurry, Cicito supports Kotori.

"... Cicito, are you okay with your shoulders or something? If I shot something like that, the shock or something would be awesome."

"No, not at all. There was nothing but a recoil like an air gun."

"... yes. Something, you gave me quite a ton of demonai stuff, Hanzo. I wonder if it's the latest... make another weapon or something."

Symmetrically with Rona crushing her bumps and complaining, Cicito, who was holding Cottori, was excited.

Quiet force.

The pleasure of destruction.

Fullness.

In the depths of Cisito's heart, a certain thought boils down.

"Lady!? Ma'am!? Are you okay!? I heard something break..."

Such Cicito's thoughts were dispelled by the voices heard from the top of the stairs.

"... Come on, let's go"

Cicito immediately carries Cottori and climbs the stairs.

So what I saw was a door going out onto a half-opened rooftop and a chain of metal wrapped around the knob of the door and the water distribution pipe, and a man with his face out of the gap between the doors.

"Oh, good. Ma'am, are you okay?"

From the gap in the door, the man who confirmed Rona's appearance makes a sound of relief.

"Yeah, I'm fine. So, what do you say? These chains are in the way, aren't they? Do you think you can do something?

To Rona's inquiry, the palace shook its face vertically.

"Yes. Now the Chaka guy is back on the chopper and ready to gear up to cut the chain. I wish I had a cutter, but I came with the minimum gear I needed... maybe I need to burn it out with a banner or, worst of all, use a bomb with adjusted power"

"How soon is it going to be over?

"Ten minutes... no, fifteen minutes, I can handle it"

"Well, either way, it's gonna take a while."

"Time…"

Cicito reacts to Rona's statement that it takes time.

"... what's wrong? Cicito?"

Cicito looked at Rona's face when he saw the face between palaces.

Aren't you okay now?

I thought I heard that voice in my heart.

"Rona. Hey, wait here."

With that said, Cicito makes Cottori sleep in the hallway.

"... what are you going to do?

"I'm going to help Yui and the others."

Clearly, say it, Cicito.

"... you! Were you listening to what I've been saying?

Over the course of this period, Rona stuffs up to Cicito, who still begins to say such things.

"I was listening. And I brought Rona and Kotori to the roof properly. Then it's everyone's turn."

Cicito embraced Rona, who had been stuffed.

"Hey!?

Suddenly he gets hugged, ignores confused Rona and Cicito keeps talking.

"Hanzo said, if you're a man, protect him. I'm weak, just a few hands. We can only protect the two of us, but Rona and Kotri, they're safe now, right?

Rona doesn't answer anything.

"Then next time, protect Yui and Nagaharu, or I'll help you."

What Cicito was trying to do was also what Rona wanted.

If we're gonna get out of here, let's all do it.

But I want Cicito to stay here.

I want you by my side.

Two hopes collide in Rona, but the answer was already decided.

"... come back, will you?

Rona shook her voice.

They want to be together.

It was decided that this would happen.

Cicito answers forcefully to the bitter answer given by Rona.

"Oh. Be sure."

With that said, Cicito, who stroked Rona's head, ran down the stairs.

The place to aim is upstairs in the school building across the street.

Cicito had confidence.

Because a powerful weapon was in its hands.

Having gained strength, I believed that I could always help Yui and Sai out of their best friends.

Neither of us thought Cicito was already upstairs and not in a situation to help.
