===Part 4===
 
'''(Quenser/Academy City)
 
A nearly 4m pig just stood out too much.

He thought he had lost that brown-haired twintails girl, but he kept running across her afterwards.

"Crap, crap. I'm not sure what scares me more: that twintails girl from hell or me for escaping her..."

''"Boo, boo. Flat chests aren't delicious. I want something fattier!"

The giant pig climbed to the top of a building. It had to be more than 10 stories tall, but it only took the pig an instant. He kicked back and forth between the building wall and a wind turbine pole for a zigzagging path to the roof.

That was incredible, but Quenser was worried.

What was this? Produce 10 or 20 of them and their maintenance base would be in trouble.

"Wh-where did that thing go!? What kind of trickery did it use to escape my teleportation!?"

The pig kept his mouth shut as the girl ran along the road, shouting something in an Asian language.

The girl was plenty strange herself. Quenser had no idea what kind of trick she used, but he had seen her vanish into thin air a few times.

At this point, he had eliminated the possibility of a problem with the pig-faced giant's senses. They were actually several times better than Quenser's normal senses. The sense of smell was especially good, so he felt like he could smell the nape of her neck even from this distance.

(Is this some kind of esper development, or a giant setup meant to look that way? But it's the Faith Organization more than the Capitalist Corporations that likes to give their Pilot Elites that charisma that goes beyond their actual abilities. ...Well, this is the Island Nation, so they might have a mixture of different cultures.)

The soft footsteps faded into the distance. Unless that hellish twintails girl was from the bloodline of a killer in a hockey mask, he would not have to worry about her reappearing out of nowhere for a surprise attack. This time, he seemed to have truly lost her.

"Phew."

''"Squeal..."

He softly sighed. He rubbed at his back with his giant hands, but he could not feel the zipper anywhere. Was the zipper even still there? From a physical perspective, his answer to that should have been obvious, but Quenser could not bring himself to give an answer. He was afraid what it would be.

And the idiot was not given a chance to sit and think.

He heard another girl's voice.

"Beep beep beep. Beep beep beep beep beep."

It did not matter if she was speaking an Asian language or not. "Beep beep beep" spelled danger no matter where you were from.

(Are you kidding? Is she receiving some kind of mysterious signal and supplying her own sound effect!?)

He did not want to turn around. But he was also afraid to ignore this. This yellow light was enough for him to forget all about the zipper on his back or the lack thereof. And that light would definitely turn either red or green once he turned around.

He felt like someone who had a swarm of hornets in their yard, could not find the basketball-sized nest, went into the house to think about it in peace, and realized they could hear a buzzing from the storeroom.

(I really don't want to look!!)

He had no choice.

The giant gray pig curled up his back and hesitantly turned his head in an extremely human action. He looked over his shoulder to check on reality.

There he found a girl with a very Asian black bob cut, a dead-eyed expression, and a pink track suit that may have been for wearing at home or for wearing when she went out.

"Konnichiwa, bonjour, good afternoon, ni hao. Hm? Good afternoon. Okay, okay."

She tried a few different languages, but his luck ran out when he perked up in response to the familiar English.

Thus spoke the near-future ''kokeshi'' doll in English:

"A signal is arriving from south-southwest. Yes, it's coming from you."

(Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!?)
