Editing Absolute Duo:Volume 5 Chapter 1 (section)

===Part 2===
'''''Until that time''''', I was in my room with Julie and Tora attending to the summer break topic that will start tomorrow.

Normally, Miyabi and Tachibina would be here but, it’s different for today.

Its summer break starting from tomorrow but, since we are allowed to go back even today, everyone else except us has left the academy during the evening.

Since me and Tora are going to visit Otoha’s grave tomorrow, we decided that it would be the day we head back. 

But----

The remaining silver girl has no plans to go back since she says that the trip to her birthplace takes too long.

(Even though she really wants to go to her mother and get pampered………..)

Only I know that the girl with {{Furigana|Silver hair|Silver Blonde}} has a spoilt and lonely side.

When I looked over to her, she was not moving her hands and looked blanked; maybe she was stuck at her topic or she recalled back her mother in her birthplace.

Julie suddenly looked at me.

“Tooru”

Of course, we ended looking at each other since I was still looking at Julie.

“”…………………….””

“………..why are you two looking at each other silently”

The 3rd part Tora was the one who broke the silence.

“I have something I want to say but, Tooru was looking over her so………perhaps, you have something to say?”

“Eh, ah…………..no, I was just wondering why your hands stopped from just now”

“I was thinking about the topic I am about to talk now”

When I was asked her what’s up with her, she replied back that she has a request.

“Can I follow you two tomorrow too?”

“Follow…………meaning, you want to come with us to Fujisawa?”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Chirin* her bells rang when the silver girl nodded.

“I want to go greet Otoha-san. If possible, I want to report to her that I am teamed up with Tooru as my <<Duo>> and have normally been taken care of by him”


“Err………I don’t mind but--------“

“Fuun, why not? Otoha is probably curious on what kind of person is the <<Duo>> protecting her unreliable brother’s back”

“…………………”

Those were harsh words but, it’s true that I have been causing Otoha to worry so I have nothing to reply.

“W-well, I don’t have any problem since Tora say’s okay. Also-----Otoha probably prefers it to be livelier”

“Ja--. Thank-----“

The silver girl could not finish her thanks.

It’s because '''''the time''''' came.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Zuzuuun*………!! The dorm shook at the same time they heard an explosion-like sound outside and caused the window to make *Katakata* sounds.

“““------!!”””

3 of them gasped and immediately ran to the window to check outside-----

“Tooru, that’s………..!!”

Julie pointed to the clock tower and raised her voice.

A red flame could be seen around the tower.

Even if I concentrate, I could not distinguish what was happening because it of the darkness of the night and the distance.

But, it’s only natural to have a bad feeling if I recall the events that occurred in this one month.

The feeling was pushing me and I had to jump out of the room.

There was a commotion inside the dorm. At the corridor and lounge; students were looking at each other anxiously at the entrance and etc. Half-way when passing by them, a broadcast indicating [An unconfirmed explosion has occurred within the area, please stand-by in the dorm for further orders].

After ignoring the broadcast and jumping into the night ----I saw it.

It’s not that tall to call it the night sky but, I saw 2 beams spread to the ground from the sky.

And the explosion a slight pause later at where the light went.

“Tooru!” ”Tooru, that’s…….!!”

At that moment, Julie and Tora who were following me got closer to me.

“Yeah…………someone is fighting!!”

My feelings changed to conviction.

The <<El Libel>> with sharp eyes popped up in my mind.

“Both of you----“

“Nai, have you forgotten that I am the <<Duo>> that will protect your back?”

“Fuun. I might not be your <<Duo>> but, I can’t leave this problem to an unreliable fellow like you to handle alone”

I judged that it’s useless to try to convince them by the will in their immediate reply.

“…………..i understand. From the explosion we saw, it looks like it’s going to be quite dangerous. Please be careful”

“Ja--, let’s go!” “Fuun, no need for the needless worry!!”

After hearing their reply, we dashed.

With me at the front and Julie with Tora following------

3 of our voices mixed under the moonlight.

““”<<Blaze>>!!”””
