Editing City Series:Volume8a Chapter3 (section)

===Aoe’s Board Mode: In DT’s Central Detroit District===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You are in 2529-E Alley 5, a Top Page of the Central Residential District.

You just entered the alley from 2629-E Street.

The alley is lined with homes on both sides. It is about 3 yards wide.

A single PC Body is using a weight reduction process to sit on your left shoulder. She is Yuo Natas Wav.

You hear the city being destroyed in the distance.

Aoe: <Damn.>

Yuo: “Senpai.”

Aoe: <Damn! Why did I chicken out and dodge!?>

Yuo: “Senpai!”

Aoe: “Mh?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Yuo is beating you on the head.

Aoe: “Mh, what do you think you’re doing!?”

Yuo: “C’mon, snap out of it! They already ran away!”

Aoe: “Mh…mh.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You are facing west.

The sounds of destruction come from about 30 yards away, beyond the roofs to the southwest.

Yuo: “I know you have a lot to think about, but we can’t ignore this threat to the city, can we?”

Aoe: “N-no, I suppose not.”

Yuo: “Right? Right? Saving people takes priority.”

Yuo: “I’ll help you investigate that other stuff later, so let’s take care of this, Sensei.”

Aoe: “So, uh, since when am I your Sensei?”

Yuo: “Heh heh. Don’t worry about it. So can you run?”

Aoe: “…Mh.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You begin running.

On your shoulder, Yuo pulls a 2yd 2in strip of cloth from her pocket.

Aoe: <How did something so big fit in her pocket?>

Yuo: “The compression rate is different inside. Now can you circle around behind the knight?”

Aoe: “Mh.”

Yuo: “W-whoa, whoa, whoa! No need to rush! Just run normally!”

Aoe: “What happened to this being an emergency?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You are running between simply-built wooden houses.

The one on the left has a Day of the Oracle digital clock sticking out over the sideroad.

The digital clock is approaching Yuo’s face.

Yuo: “Eh?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You hear a loud impact. All the Word Mail windows open around Yuo disappear.

The broken digital LCD frame is dummy data. It flashes and then disappears after being launched by the impact.

Aoe: “…Yuo?”

Yuo: “…”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Yuo does not say a word. She is still holding a hand to her face.

Her Mouse has climbed down onto your shoulder, looking nervous.

But Yuo grabs the Mouse and pulls it back up.

Your Mouse is hiding behind your head.

Yuo: “Senpai. Do you mind?”

Aoe: “Mh…mh.”

Yuo: “Telyb gave me permission, so I’m not going to hold back.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Yuo reaches her left hand into her pocket, pulls out a fingertip-sized silver paper wrapper, and opens it.

It contains a chocolate candy. The wrapper says “x5” on it.

Aoe: “I thought only kids in movies devoured candy that quick.”

Yuo: “I’ll use it all up with my boost soon enough. I’m about to show you what I can really do.”

Aoe: “Hey, don’t litter.”

Yuo: “I put it in my pocket.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Yuo swings the cloth out in front of her and taps the program control panel at her hip.

'''<Yuo: Program: Batch Start: Run>

Yuo: “Okay, let’s get started! Switch to Sight!”
