Livestream Hero

Chapter #15: [BOUND SERPENT]

"Think the LiveStream Hero's a handsome guy?"

"Maybe? I don't really know."

"I saw his performance, but I still think that the name LiveStream Hero is odd..."

"Well, the name was on the spot. If you ask me though, I'd call him Beethoven."

"Where the hell did you get that name?"

"You're not listening in school, are you?"

Browsing through my phone, we were waiting for the bus to arrive. It would take at least 40 minutes of travel to Yokohama and another 15 minutes to LightWays Media. Hmm... The place we're going is a well known media and broadcasting company. I wonder what sort of trouble would I run into...

After some more minutes of sitting, the bus had finally arrived. Others were scattered with their peers, while I was merely reading in silence.

"Kaide.", A voice had reached my ears, making me look up. I raised my eyebrows as I saw who it was. It was Kazuto Hiro.

"Hmm? What is it?", I asked, his harem or any from his group weren't following him.

Only the girl with brown ponytail named Hanami was on his back.

"I'm just here to notify. The Black Zodiac has also been sighted at LightWays Media, so be careful. And... I also apologize for my member's behavior.", He said, bowing to me at the end of his statement.

"... It's alright.", I replied.

Giving me a grateful smile, he then reached something out of his pocket and handed it to me. I took it and analyzed the item.

[Plotter's Discernment: Active]

[Indicator Ring]

– A magical ring that allows it's user to send a signal to others who also wear this ring when in danger. In order to send a signal, just think of the person that you want to send a signal to and be sure that they're also wearing this ring.

Huh? Why would I need this? Whatever, I'll just put it in my pocket.

"Use that when you're on a pinch. The Zodiac is a dangerous organization.", He said, before giving me one of his friendly smiles and finally walking away.

"... Thanks.", I muttered. Don't know if he heard it though.

...

""Yokohama!""

Several of my schoolmates yelled. Finally, we had arrived. Like bulls on a field, they excitedly ran together with their respective friends, pointing and being amazed by the place. Meanwhile, I took a calm stroll, carefully taking in the sights of the place and analyzing it. This where disaster strikes after all.

Though perhaps I could use some souvenirs...

"Kaide! Where are you going?", Hiro's voice called out. I turned to him and said:

"Souvenir.", Before walking away.

...

"Hiro... You said that he's a healer, right?", Hayami whispered, still looking cautiously at the retreating figure. She was wary of him on their first meeting, but now she was never gonna let her guard down around him, especially because of what he did earlier.

"Yeah... We still don't know on what sect he belongs though, but he's without a doubt, powerful...", Hiro answered, before adding.

"And... Hayami, since you've been sent by the Union, do you have any idea on who's the LiveStream Hero?", Hiro's eyes were sparkling.
