COTE: New Game+

Vol. 0 Chapter 8: Tokyo Dome Incident (Part 2)

Kei's POV

"You never thought something like this would happen, did you?" I said as I pointed my gun at Hinekawa.

"Hm? How did you manage to get past the guards?" she asked, keeping her composure, but I can tell she was panicking on the inside. Shindo Kaori's panic was much more visible, though. She was looking around the location while visibly tense, looking for an exit.

Not that she would be able to escape in the first place. It's very convenient that both of our targets are in the same place. Saves us the headache of looking for either of them.

"You really need to hire more competent guards. I don't know if you're just a cheapskate or you're incompetent yourself. Anyway, we killed them all." I said.

"Ayanokouji, you say? I didn't think Professor Ayanokouji would have any more children." she remarked.

Ew, what the fuck?

I didn't make my disgust known to her, but I was interested in what she said.

"You know that bastard?" I asked.

"Of course. Why do you think I tried to create perfect celebrities like Ai in the first place?" she said.

Don't tell me... Is what she did to Hoshino-san the result of her trying to replicate the White Room? Seriously, what the fuck?

"You...!"

"How did you manage to find this location in the first place?" she asked.

I smirked as I remember what happened.

"Words to live by." I remarked as I heard what Lelouch had just said. The assassins were all charging at our location, but we weren't scared at all.

"Kei, what's the situation?"

"Hoshino-san is safe and is being escorted. Assassins in the dozens coming here."

"Make sure to hold them off. Kill them when necessary. That applies to everyone there."

You know Kiyotaka, that's not a good thing to say especially with our children here.

Since Kiyotaka personally coming here was too risky, he decided to coordinate our movements remotely. With the help of Arisu-san, we managed to establish secure communications that is impossible to trace or even tap into. She also helped us in planting a GPS tracker in everyone so that their locations can be tracked at any point during the operation.

Arisu-san being good with technology is definitely a surprise, but a welcome one.

"You basically just encouraged our children to go wild..."

"It's like you're calling our children feral, Kei..."

"Anyway, what should I do once we encounter either one of our targets?"

"I can't believe you're asking me that question. You want to kill them, right?"

"I was asking just to make sure that we didn't need either of them for anything."

"Trying to pursue them in the court of law will just cause needless headaches and cost us a lot of time we have so little of. It's better if we dispose of them quickly. Besides, I know they have no connection whatsoever to our actual targets, so they're not useful in that department."
