Takemitchi's Pov:

"The bloody Halloween battle ends with Toman's defeat the reason for that is Sano Manjiro murders Hanemiya Kazutora"
Naoto clear out looking at me

"Additionally, Kisaki planned it whole"

"But.... L/N Y/N was the one who corrupted the both gangs.By murdering her lover Sano Manjiro. It said Kisaki didn't expected it. She act on her own consent"

"... She was not in the dispute right?... "
Naoto ask

"... Yeah... Maki kun and her have business on their own... " I respond

"Then, try calling her when you guys gonna start to battle, It might change.. Doesn't it? "

Naoto held his chin while standing in front of me

"..I'll try.. "
I weakly answered

I gritted my teeth

"Mikey kun kills Kazutora kun because Mikey kun's bestfriend ..... "

"... Because Kazutora kun killed Baji kun..."
I trailed looking at the floor

".. Then that must've crank Kei chan up...Baji kun was important person for her too... Without knowing.... "
I mumble still feeling sad

'... Without knowing what else.... '

I clench my hand, as I tilt my head up staring at naoto with a determine eyes

"In that case, I have to save baji kun! "

"If I do that, Mikey kun won't make any mistake"

"And, you'll able to to obstruct Kisaki goals! "
Naoto added

"Protect Baji keisuke!!, that's the mission this time"
The detective smile giving me an assurance

"Yeah! "

"Just like Tatsuya Maki, This is all we can do huh? "
He concerned

"We have succeed eventually!! "
I grin

" 'Eventually' huh?"
He ape, still smiling

"You say that so easily, even though it's a quite difficult mission"

"Huh? "

"You're actually an amazing person! "
He utter out, not expected

I'm fluttered.... Literally

"Please do your best! "
Naoto held his hand to me

"O.. Okay! "

"Here I go, Naoto! "

I stretch my right hand to him, as we interlock it
