Sai was watching the moment.

The moment Madoka disappeared.

I'm sorry, I snapped, and the cat was covering his face with his hands.

I don't know what the cat did.

But the cause of Madoka's disappearance is in the cat.

I thought that was certain, and Sei tried to get close to the cat.

"... Changchun! Back off!"

But Syndicate, whom I called earlier, instructs Sei to do so.

Though slightly glaring, Sei, who heard Syndicate's instructions, flew back.

At the moment of flight, a wall made of ice appears between Sai and the cat, ahead of Sai's attempts to make his way.

Syndicate stabbed a pale deer in the wall, the ice wall that he built.

"... what did you do?

On the other side of the ice, Syndicate was listening toward the cat covering his face.

That, it freezes around the cat.

Looks like Syndicate is freezing it.

The ice must have meant a threat, but more than that, it must have meant Syndicate's vigilance.

But cats say such Syndicate threats and vigilance with their faces covered and without even looking.

"... Hospital. Please come to the hospital. There's Mr. Baiyano."

The cat's voice grows louder and louder.

To go with it, emotions, big.

"Please...... I will! Please help! Right now, Mr. Baiano..."

Finally, a cat who tried to scream something out loud, disappears.

On the frozen floor, only Madoka's gear remained.

"... Shit. Now metastasis, or"

Completely, make sure the cat disappears, and Syndicate pulls the Ethereal Deer out of the wall and melts the ice wall it was making.

"... Mr. Changchun, stay there"

"Wow, I get it"

Syndicate approaches as she looks at Madoka's gear falling on the floor.

"... all that's left is Mr. Baiyano's gear, right? Is Changchun okay? Is something missing or injured?

"Yes. I'm fine...... sorry. I can't believe this happened."

"No, that's fine. I was on guard too, but I couldn't react right away."

"Huh... Huh? He said he was on guard."

I thought, "Don't let her do something."

Yurina, who walked after Syndicate, answers Sei's question.

"I thought..."

"I was telling you, seniors, me too. Think about what it means to be alone and to have walked in a world where demons walk in such a dark time."

Yurina hadn't seen Sai.

Without looking at Sai, I'm looking at the gear that's falling on the floor.

Perhaps now, Yurina is telling someone who isn't here right now.

Yurina's cheek was pulling, obviously, angry.

"... well, I can't help it. My favorite sister came here in that condition, and this one, if I could tell her properly... and there was a part of her that I had left to Bayano."

If it's true, I wasn't going to talk to the cat when I got home.

But cats acted faster than Syndicate expected.

I thought if you were going to set me up, it would be a quiet night or something, but I didn't think you'd set me up in a passage like this, at this time.

"That's no reason. Not if it's a reason. Totally... more or less, if you're a normal person, you don't have to tell us to notice. Realize it, and be very vigilant. Yet that child..."

"... normal"

Sei, who didn't even think about this, such as being alert to cats, turns a blind eye from Yurina.

As it is, Sei thought it would be better not to be noticed.

"Well, Changchun didn't seem to understand either."

"Ugh!?

But soon, Yurina will tell me.

Earlier, I raised a question.

Even if we fix it now, it's only natural that it's too late.

"Oh, sorry"

Sei, weakly, bows her head toward Ulina and Syndicate.

"No, I can't help it. Changchun, too, si... because that man's sister is here. Let's just think about what happened here."

Syndicate crouches in and carefully takes the falling gear.

"Oh, you know, I don't have to go help Mr. Baiyano, okay?

Sei asks how Syndicate behaved at first sight and for a long time.

"I'm coming to help. But it's not a good idea to rush off. There's a lot left, and I need to know to some extent what they did."

"... Normally, didn't you metastasize? I heard there was a trap like that."

To Yurina's inquiry, Syndicate shakes her head.

"No... at the end of the day, I think the cat disappeared is a metastasis, but before that, Bayano disappeared, probably not"

"Why?"

"There are a couple of reasons... first of all, if it's a normal transfer, the gear and all the things you wear should disappear together. But Mr. Baiano left the stuff he wore and disappeared. Plus, if it's a metastasis, I'll be aware of it before it's activated. I don't know if it's about space, but the metastasis trap is a unique sign."

When we fought in this apartment with Kaztaka before, Syndicate knew about the metastasis trap.

If cats tried to use such traps, or magic, Syndicate would have reacted immediately to deal with them.

In fact, the last time the cat disappeared, I knew it would metastasize.

I knew it... but I couldn't get close.

The same goes for building an ice wall in front of Sei, but somehow, he decided not to get close to the cat then.

"... for example, when she hid the metastasis trap in the item box..."

"Um, I don't have that either, I guess. During the treatment, or when Mr. Bayano carried the cat, I observed, but he didn't look like he had anything. So did iGOD. In the first place, I don't suppose you've raised your level. I wasn't physically capable. But you're pretty sure he was hiding something..."

Syndicate has learned in her previous experience that it is very important information about where they have iGOD.

So whoever they are, they try to find out first if they have anything to hide.

And as a result of the exploration, the cat had nothing, which is Syndicate's conclusion.

But that's why Syndicate was more alert to cats.

Cats are hiding something because they knew it.

"... the cat has nothing, for sure. Probably can't be magic. I haven't increased my level. But I turned Mr. Baiyano off... how..."

With bumps and tweets, Syndicate sees where the cat stood.

Sai talks to Yurina, who was next door, while he thinks he shouldn't be disturbing Syndicate like that.

I still have a lot to ask you.

"... when I entered the station, I sent Mr. Baiano forward..."

"From behind, it will be to observe closely. You'd be wary if you looked too giddy from the front. Usually seniors stand in front of each other, but you can think that doing something like that means something..."

Yurina exhales loudly.

Sei understood once again that apparently, really, a lot had to be noticed.

I don't know how much Cicito has happened... but I think I need to reflect.

Syndicate, who was bumping and crushing, took his hands off axes and spears and took Madoka's uniform.

"... I wonder if it was a bad idea to freeze it. It's getting cold. But I don't think I'm wrong about the stuff Mr. Baiano was wearing, am I? The fact that there's no cat's clothes and there's Mr. Baino's uniform, I knew the two of them weren't... oh?

Something falls from Madoka's uniform in her hand.

It was made of a cloth that was white and slightly glossy, with a bluish line next to it.

The frills at the top, which are good, seem to represent the adorability of the owner and are very likable.

Syndicate picks up the cloth that fell out of that Madoka uniform.

I mean, Syndicate picked it up, the thing that fell out of Madoka's uniform...

"Hiccup! Pants!!

"What are you doing, you are!!

Pasin, and, Yurina slaps Syndicate on the head.

"Hey! Do what!

"I'm the one asking what you're doing. Damn, I thought you were seriously considering the bump and that kid's abilities...... if you have time to discuss Madoka's pants, I'll just go help. I'm sure you've never been there before."

"Yes, sir."

Syndicate stands up with her hand in her pocket.

"... give me something in that pocket"

Yurina spreads her hand to Syndicate.

"... this"

Syndicate offered Ulina the restorative medicine she had in her pocket.

"No. If you're kidding me, I'm really angry."

To Yurina's words, Syndicate, looking really spicy, spares, closes her eyes and slowly, pulls her opposite hand out of her pocket and stops on Yurina's hand.

And slowly spread out, pants, Madoka's pants, let go.

"... Chickshaw!

"No, seriously, stop looking sorry. My seniors are going crazy."

Yurina puts her hand on her forehead.

"Well, but seniors are like that. Speaking of which."

Ahaha, and awkwardly so, Sei laughs.

"What kind of person... has Sei ever encountered a similar occasion?

"Yeah, several times. But you have Yurina, don't you?

"... there is, but... it doesn't seem to have been this far... well, that's fine. Than that, Sai."

"What?"

"Did you?

…… What? "

"Did you look at it in silence and laugh, as you did earlier, when you encountered similar occasions of seniors? Before that, when did you first encounter it?

Asked by Yurina, Sei thinks a little.

I thought Sai was similar to the earlier interaction when Syndicate was taking Madoka and the others from school while shooting Madoka and the others from the bottom with an iGOD camera.

How was it then?

For the first time, Sai realized that Syndicate was such a person, probably when he got help from Mityama and entered a cafe on the fifth floor of the school where Syndicate was based.

How was it then?

As much as I did earlier, after watching Yurina and Syndicate interact, Sei was laughing because I honestly was relieved that I thought Yurina's rating for Syndicate was going to go down...

"Hey, you two. It's time, okay?

Syndicate hits the palm.

"Shall we leave? I've already done some rough research."

"Really? So, what do you got?

Upon hearing of her departure, Yurina will store Madoka's uniforms, weapons, etc. in the item box, including the Madoka pants she recovered earlier from Syndicate.

"Well, it's a prediction. Looks like I was a little mistaken, I guess."

"Mistake, is it?

Sai tilts his neck.

"Yeah, well, I'll tell you that as I go across the street. Including predictions. It seems to have worked, but if it's what I expected, I don't know if I'll have it for that long."

"Huh? What measures?

The moment Sai said it, Yurina, who finished storing Syndicate and Madoka's gear, sees Sai.

The face, 'Seriously?' He said.

"... you haven't noticed? I understand Baino and Mizuhashi, but Changchun?

"No, I noticed, and... You don't look like him, so I thought. But..."

"Huh? Huh?

I don't know why, more than when we talked about vigilance against cats earlier.

To confused Syndicate and Ulina, Sei's upset also grows.

"... well, I'll talk about that as I go"

"It's been a week."

"What? What?

The Syndicates headed to Madoka, taking Sai, who they didn't quite understand.
