Sasaki visits Uta’s mask shop, HySy.
Uta: Welcome.
- Sasaki takes a glimpse on the masks displayed on the wall.
Sasaki: (…Mystery, “Oni”? Riddles no. 2. Yellow devil… what are these? Really awesome…)
- Sasaki comes there because of the present he got from HySy. He wants to ask Uta about it.
Sasaki: Um, about this… It reaches our place. It seems to have been sent from this shop.
Uta: Huh, indeed I was the one who sent it… That’s strange… Did I get the address wrong…?
Uta: It was supposed to be a present. I’m sorry.
Sasaki: Oh, I see… Incidentally… Did you send this book, too?
- Sasaki showed the book to Uta.
Uta: …Hmm, no, it’s not me.
Sasaki: (…So, the one who sent the book is unknown…)
Sasaki: Excuse me.
Flashback.
Hairu: …Why is it that the ownership belongs to Kijima-san, even though it was my achievement?
Fura: …Don’t swear/curse, Hairu.
Fura: (…It’s true that you are outstanding… to the point it’s scary—)
End of flashback.
Matsumae: (… It breaks the “wall”.)
Matsumae: It’s a good Quinque.
Matsumae: Let’s see what you got.
- Matsumae’s Kagune flies towards her.
- Hairu avoids it while spitting on her palm so she could hold firm her Quinque.
- Hairu slashes Matsumae’s Kagune.
Matsumae: !?
- Matsumae’s abdoment got hit.
Hairu: Aren’t you fast?
- Matsumae manages to escape. She meets Kanae.
Kanae: (CCG has a grasp of our movement. At this rate, we…)
Kanae: …Does it hurt?
Matsumae: It’s all right. It will be fine with a little rest.
Kanae: …Matsumae…
Matsumae: What?
Kanae: Think of this as just a stupid talk, but… what if, what if between Shuu-sama and… Tsukiyama family, if you were told to choose one, which would you choose?
- Sasaki and Kuramoto are about to go have a drink.
- Kuramoto is talking about Arima, Ui, and Hirako.
Kuramoto: Arima’s team.
Sasaki: Eh?
Kuramoto: Ui-san got promoted to become the boss of S1. Wouldn’t that mean Arima’s team needs a new support since he’s no longer in S3?
