Things were bad. I ran all around Tokyo chasing after Senpai.

I asked the stars, winds, and seasons if they had seen him and made my way to a park in Kanda.

On the way, I called home with one of the red phones on the side of the road. Lady answered.

“Snowy was tired, so she went to sleep. She sometimes wakes up before going back to sleep again.”

I see. I told Lady to take care of you and then gave her this red phone’s number so she could contact me.

Things really were bad. There was no doubt in my mind that Senpai had sucked your blood and probably “eliminated” some Kansai students. The corporations from both Kansai and Kantou must have set it up that way.

After all, Babel would be complete in Osaka soon. That colossal broadcast tower would be the only thing in the world that could send someone’s voice to the entire planet. The internal generator was a largescale reactor that could even extract ether from the ley lines.

Once that was running, Japan’s power balance would shift to the west.

Some adults – I don’t know who – didn’t want that, so they had sent Kansai students to Tokyo. The attack from Kansai had been meant to start some small trouble here.

It had all been small scale stuff before, but last night must have been different. Something we couldn’t cover up ourselves. So Senpai had cut down even the evidence and now he had to be on the run from the corporations. He was the last remaining evidence, so if they could capture him, they could prove the trouble occurring between the east and west students.

“Dammit.”

The moon had risen into the sky while I thought. It was an unpleasant moon. I really didn’t like it.

'''Author Comment:

A summary of the Babel situation given everything that has happened so far.

The Boss is supporting the Tokyo Chancellor’s Officers all alone at this point, which I think had to be really hard.
