Kiragi: Really? Yay!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img]
Auror: Just don't rush into a fight, little guy. And you two are in charge of seeing he won't get in danger.

Ictio: YES SIR!!
Umbra: I already knew that, thank you.

[i]Soon, the sky broke. The dark red that covered the shrine vanished and the sunsetting sky was visible again. They left the Nightmare Realm and finally returned back to reality.[/i]

Jin: Did we get back to reality or is this a trick?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/agd9Niv.png[/img]
Cookie: We managed to get back safely. That's good to know.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/M5WJ0gB.png[/img]
Marina: Nighttime is already coming. Perhaps we should prepare dinner for everyone.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/a2OhJw9.png[/img]
Reimu: I wasn't accounting for a lot of people to come here actually.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/8lAyE2n.png[/img]
Alice: Well, yes, I suppose you didn't. Do you want help, Reimu?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/SM3md5j.png[/img]
Reimu: Guess I can't say no, can I? Jin, Cookie, you two will help as well.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nejBcc1.png[/img]
Jin: I'm on it!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6qrv7BB.png[/img]
Cookie: Sure. Let's make a good feast.

[i]Cookie and Jin followed them inside. As soon as their bodies disappeared from sight, a sound of a door opening and footsteps were heard. When they looked, someone was slowly making his way down.[/i]

Kaito: Lucent!

[i]Kaito ran over towards his friend and began to check if he was OK, while helping him walk. Once they were are the grounds, Marina, Auror and Kiragi soon went towards him as well.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/hTivYdt.png[/img]
Auror: Hey, you big bastard! Took you long enough to come!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img]
Lucent: Uh... I'm sorry...?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/GAlH9eg.png[/img]
Auror: Hey, I'm just teasing you! I'm really glad to see you safe, Lucent.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6w6BHBb.png[/img]
Marina: Mr. Lucent, I am far more relieved now to know that you're OK. You have no idea of how we were worried.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/UapOVou.png[/img]
Kiragi: Big Bro Lucent!!
Lucent: K-Kiragi...? W-Why are you here?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/WWApZ6z.png[/img]
Kiragi: I came here to save you! I'm gonna be your hero!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/otQYiPp.png[/img]
Auror: Hey, we all know to who belongs the hero part here.

[i]Marina, Auror and Kiragi looked at Kaito while smiling as Lucent looked a little puzzled.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/4b0HCfQ.png[/img]
Kaito: W-Why are you all looking at me like that?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7b55qgm.png[/img]
Auror: Nothing much, Mr. Knight!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/3iIzZff.png[/img]
Kaito: H-Hey, knock it off, Auror!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/y3Ms0By.png[/img]
Lucent: ... Hehe...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img]
Auror: Did you just laugh?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/y8AMJjI.png[/img]
Lucent: N-No, that was nothing of the sort... hehe...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/tfMiETu.png[/img]
Marina: He did laugh! Hehe!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7FHpAOX.png[/img]
Kiragi: Hahahaha!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nHoaF56.png[/img]
Kaito: Man, seriously... oh well, at least he's happy!

[i]From afar, Umbra and Ictio watched at the scene. Their eyes were amining at Lucent, the one they have been searching for.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/mxSTVlL.png[/img]
Ictio: Hey, that's the guy were supposed to find, right? Right?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7AmSr90.png[/img]
Umbra: Yes, it is... I can't believe we've found him this early...

Azrel: So you're going to interrogate me now. As I need to hurry with this.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img]
Xaizor: Yeah, we are. Now spill it.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Eu5nYMq.png[/img]
Azrel: I'd love to, but I'd prefer to do that with the actual person listening to it. This has some concern to his life, after all.

[i]It didn't seem like a joke. His information... had something to do with Lucent's life?[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/ZMWVWGL.png[/img]
Xaizor: What do you mean?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/VgmYZwy.png[/img]
Azrel: I was informed that death's scythe floats around his head. He has chance to escape it unscathed, of course.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6qV6ikh.png[/img]
Xaizor: Who's the bastard who gave you this idea?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/gWsX0pT.png[/img]
Azrel: How much are you willing to pay me for speaking this up?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/CZre988.png[/img]
Xaizor: My will to not cut your head off. Now say it already, damnit!

[i]Azrel sighed. He didn't want to disappoint his client, but it seemed hard to go after his target with those three blocking him. He decided to try another way.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/JnfCrgE.png[/img]
Azrel: I'll spill it if you take me to Lucent then.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vBu3sm4.png[/img]
Xaizor: Are you out of your mind?! Like hell we will!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/NofSAMm.png[/img]
Azrel: Well then, I'll be taking my leave. Just don't blame me if he dies.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img]
Xaizor: Hey, hold the phone!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6XDMQLt.png[/img]
Azrel: Oh?

[i]Xaizor was nervous. He didn't want to believe in a word Azrel was saying, but it didn't seem like a joke for a second. It didn't look like a lie.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/ybEVz8e.png[/img]
Xaizor: I don't want to believe that guy, but something in my gut tells me that he's not lying about this. What should we do?

[i]She tried and failed. Lilina wasn't able to get more of Masaru's information as she had hoped to. It wouldn't be that easy.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/XLLSthx.png[/img]
Lilina: (To think this wouldn't actually work... now I need to think of another way...)
Voice: Hey you, blond girl!

[img]https://i.imgur.com/yTDIUuk.png[/img]
[i]When Lilina looked behind her, she saw soldiers aiming at her. Her confidence on safety soon dwindled as she saw herself greatly outnumbered.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/38jFnIs.png[/img]
Lilina: N-No... a trap?!
Soldier: She's alone. Get her before she can escape!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/r2xUJMz.png[/img]
Lilina: I... I have to run!!

[i]She turned around and ran away. The soldiers gave chase. Lilina was in a predicament she hoped to avoid, but she ended up victim of an attack again. All she had to do now is run and try to escape.[/i]
