Chapter 4
"Looks like the Crows are focusing on Yuito this year." Seto said as the platoon made their way through Kikuchiba after completing their 'on the job training'.
"What do you mean?" Yuito asked.
"Well, every year the Crows pick one cadet from the class and that person becomes their new star." Kagero said as Yuito slumped in depression.
"Awww man." Yuito said as Seto then turned to address him.
"Don't worry Yuito, just ignore the Crows or defer them to your superiors. Of course, if you happen to working with a certain someone, you won't have to worry about them at all~." Seto said as he turned to Hikaru with a knowing look.
'Gah! He knew?! That blue Boy Scout wants to see me squirm...well I won't give him the pleasure.' Hikaru thought as he sent a guileless look Seto's way. "Yeah, don't know what you're talking about there Seto." He said as he turned to Kagero and Tsugumi as the former hid a grin behind his hand and the latter simply looked away with a slight smirk on her face.
Just as they were about to leave Kikuchiba however, Kagero suddenly stopped and addressed Seto. "Hey Captain, there's something I need to do around here-do you mind if I leave before we all get back to Suoh?" He asked as Seto turned towards him and allowed him to chase after his whimsies.
"Yeah, yeah...do what you want."
"Love you Captain~." Kagero said as he pounced on the poor man, Hikaru watching the proceedings with thinly veiled amusement. 'Look at him go...Kagero's got no sense of shame. Seto's going along with it as usual; the guy really needs to get serious sometimes.' He mused as he then looked at Tsugumi, who was staring off into space.
"Hey Tsugumi, bet Kagero will bite off more than he can chew with his solo quest and will need an emergency deployment to save his sorry butt."
"Even without clairvoyance...that's...a sucker's bet." She deadpanned as Kagero turned to them with a mock affronted look.
"Well I never! Even my cute little Tsugumi has betrayed me~."
"Shut up." She said as the rest of the platoon left towards Suoh leaving Kagero behind.
Break
As the rest of Seto platoon walked through the busy streets of the northern road of Suoh, Kyoka platoon was also just entering the city from the western gate. As the platoon moved forward, Naomi then noticed something or rather someone interesting on some of the big screens on the buildings around them.
"Hey! Is that Yuito?" She asked excitedly as Kasane looked up to see the news feed as well.
"It seems like the feed abruptly cuts off at the end of the fight however..." Kasane shrewdly said as she could see the rougher transitions of the broadcast as Yuito finished the Other off.
"Oh, that's probably Hikaru's doing Kasane. He tends to override Crow drones whenever he can get away with it." Kyoka said as she turned to watch Hikaru on the screen with a somewhat amused mien.
"Huh? That guy again? He better not use his power anywhere near Naomi or I'll give him something more to worry about..." Kasane muttered darkly as Shiden then turned to her and scoffed mockingly.
