I'm Just A Wolf, Right?

3. Thursday

Thursday: after a long day at work, It was already night time when I returned home.

Because of the chief's rare mistake, I and my team ended up with overtime to fix everything.

I had lost count of how many times have I dozed off on the train, when I reach my apartment, I think I could pass out instantly.

Because I was too tired, I had to take the taxi to get home, when I arrived at my apartment, I strip all of my clothes and then immediately take a hot bath.

Even if the world is ending I would always have a bath, after that, I lazily wore my pajamas, and then I went to bed.

Just when I was about to enter the dreamland, a strict man voice then said to me.

"(Wake up soldier!!! I smell Afghanistan in this house!!)"(???)

I then sleepily replied.

"This is Japan, not Afghanistan."(Touma)

"(Can't you hear that constant beeping sound?)"(???)

"Beep?, what are you talking about-"(Touma)

When the voice said that, I then noticed the beeping sound.

"Beep, Beep, Beep"

I then instantly woke up, when the voice said that he smells Afghanistan here + that beeping sound, then there is only one possible cause.

"Could it be..."(Touma)
"A time bomb!?."(??? and Touma)

It looks like I'm not the only one who reached that conclusion, then that only means one thing.

"I need to escape!!"(Touma)

I then went to the front door, I tried to open it but it was useless, I even tried to smash the door, but it won't even budge.

Then for the next exit, the window, while I was trying to escape, the voice said.

"(Touma, I had already checked your neighbor's house, even their house is rigged with the bomb.)"(???)

"Is that so, aaargh, the window won't even move, screw it, I'm going to break this freaking thing."(Touma)

I opened my closet and then I took my trusted metal bat (self-defense purpose), I then swing it as hard as I can toward the window.

"Swing"

The glass window would usually be in pieces by now, but that didn't happen, the window itself is still intact and scratchless.

"(How did it go?)"(???)

"As you can see, as hard as new."(Touma)

"(I'm sorry Touma, it's supposed to be my duty to will guard you today, but I have failed, as a soldier I'm ashamed of myself.)"(???)

"Don't be so hard on yourself old man, you did your best."(Touma)

"(For your information, this kind of modus operandi belongs to the serial bomber, The Reaper.)"(???)
