Mikasa once again demonstrated her terrifying strength.
Amidst the constant flow of traffic during the morning rush hour, the red Mazda, like a nimble fish, darted through narrow gaps with astonishing speed and precise handling, accompanied by the sounds of horns and brakes, drawing the attention of passersby.
With sharp eyes and a firm grip on the steering wheel, Miwako Sato put all other thoughts aside, focusing on only one goal—the East Tower.
We must stop that madman before he causes any more harm!
finally.
The familiar red tower of Dongdu Tower came into view.
However, just as their car had gracefully drifted to a stop, with the tires still smoking—
"boom!!!"
A muffled explosion came from above the tower!
Immediately afterwards, thick black smoke billowed from a spot near the top of the tower! Panic instantly gripped the crowd, and people screamed and scattered in all directions!
"Damn it! It's too late!"
Sato Miwako's expression changed drastically, and she abruptly pushed open the car door.
"You stay in the car! Don't come up! Be careful!" She turned around and shouted urgently and sternly to Yuzuru and Ai, then rushed against the fleeing crowd towards the tower entrance without hesitation.
"Officer Sato."
Yuzuru Hanyu also got out of the car immediately.
"I'll go too."
"No! It's too dangerous up there! There might be a second explosion. You're not a police officer, you have no obligation to take risks!" Sato Miwako refused without thinking and tried to push him back into the car.
"I promised Yumi-nee that I would protect you." Yuzuru looked at her earnestly. "I've always valued my promises."
Looking into the boy's determined eyes, Sato Miwako felt a slight tremor in her heart, and a warm current mixed with indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.
I usually protect others myself.
And this feeling of being firmly chosen and protected in times of crisis... has been something I haven't experienced in a long time.
Time is of the essence.
She knew she couldn't stop this stubborn boy.
"Okay... but you must stay close to me and be very careful!"
"clear."
The two quickly reached an agreement, and then simultaneously turned their gaze to Ai, who was still sitting in the back seat of the car.
"Ai, stay in the car, lock the doors, and don't come out no matter what happens!"
"That's right, it's relatively safe here. We'll be back soon."
Miwako Sato also added.
Ai: "???"
Her large, icy blue eyes widened instantly, her small face filled with disbelief and anger.
Dogs and dogs!
You're crossing the river and then burning the bridge! You're using the millstone and then discarding the donkey, aren't you?!
It was her! It was Shiho Miyano! She was the first to crack the clue! She found the key location! She was the biggest contributor! Now that the bomb has been found and danger has arrived, they're going to abandon her, the brains of the operation, like a useless burden?!
They really don't take her, this magical girl, seriously, do they?!
"I also……"
Ai was about to protest.
However, Yuzuru Hanyu didn't give her a chance to finish speaking.
He leaned into the car and gently but quickly lifted the sulking little girl out, then secured her firmly to the passenger seat with the seatbelt, and locked the door with a click.
The entire sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, comparable to that of a professional kidnapper.
We can't bring Ai up there and cause trouble at a time like this... Oh no, I'm worried about her safety!
Yes, I'm definitely worried about her safety!
Don't overthink it. He's not worried that his magical girl will ruin his strategy; he's just concerned that Ai might get hurt.
Yes, that's it.
He, Yuzuru, acts with integrity and uprightness!
He wasn't particularly interested in any of those "Metropolitan Police Department beauties" or "heroic female detectives"—it was all pure revolutionary friendship.
Ai was firmly strapped to the passenger seat by the seatbelt, like a kitten being grabbed by the scruff of its neck, waving its little arms in vain, its face turning red with anger.
"Yusuke Kusunoki! You bastard! Let me out!"
"You're a heartless womanizer!"
"I knew it! You didn't have good intentions if you insisted on coming along!"
The little girl was furious and helpless inside the car, but unfortunately her protests and accusations were blocked by the car window and couldn't be heard outside.
She could only watch helplessly as Yuzuru Nanami and Sato Miwako exchanged a glance, nodded in tacit agreement, and then turned around without hesitation, rushing against the panicked and fleeing crowd into the entrance of the East Tower, their figures quickly disappearing from her sight.
"hateful……"
Ai punched the seat hard.
While chaos erupted below the East Tower, a group of people with a sense of smell even more acute than police dogs arrived at the "battlefield" at top speed—the reporters from Mika.
It must be said that when it comes to breaking news, the efficiency of the Mihana TV reporter team is outrageous, making them a benchmark in the industry.
Actually, they were already near the East Tower – today happens to be the anniversary of one of the East Tower's mascots, and they originally planned to come and record a lighthearted and fun special program, and even prepared mascot costumes.
Who would have thought that just as the show was being recorded and the mascot had barely wiggled its butt a couple of times, they heard that not-so-loud but terrifying explosion, followed by billowing smoke rising from the top of the tower!
The host and cameraman leading the group were taken aback at first, but their professional instincts instantly overwhelmed their initial fear.
The host's eyes lit up instantly.
Let's make a big splash.
"Quick! Switch the camera! Breaking news! A hot topic! A breaking news story delivered right to our door!" the host shouted excitedly to the cameraman, his voice trembling with excitement.
