On the next day after they lost Amami Tooru at the Dean Land.
Katsuragi Keima, the ‘Capturing God’ dragged his feet and walked around on the street. His body was tilted forward, his shoulders were slumped, and he looked very listless.
“Haa.”
Keima sighed while still in his school uniform.
After school, he came out without even changing his clothes. Beside him, Elsie was also in school uniform as she walked beside him.
“…There’s no response. Right now.”
Elsie muttered as she touched the skull hairpiece,
“I tried looking around yesterday, but Tooru-san seemed to have escaped outside my detection range.”
After saying that, she watched Keima in an apologetic manner. Keima said with a listless expression.
“It’s alright. One characteristic of a ‘Denpakei’ is that it’s rare to meet them.”
“Is, is that so?”
“Un, basically, we don’t know her residence and background, and there are also cases when we don’t know whether it’s a real name or not. One of the biggest reasons why the Denpakei is so troublesome is that we can only walk around randomly on the streets and hope.”
Just when he just finished saying that.
Dorodorodorodorodoro.
Elsie’s runaway spirit sensor suddenly had a reaction.
Both Elsie and Keima were stunned.
“It’s here!”
Elsie said.
(That’s too fast…)
Keima muttered deep inside. Elsie pointed her finger and said,
“That way.”
Both of them looked over. At the entrance near a shopping street, a girl was walking slowly in a horizontal manner at the arcade.
Then,
“Who’s that?”
“Eh?”
Both of them were stunned. That person,
Wasn’t Amami Tooru.
To actually,
“Ee?”
“Ha?”
To think that it was a completely different girl from Amami Tooru!
“WA! WA! WHAT’S GOING ON!?”
“Calm down!”
Keima chided.
“It’s alright. That’s just another girl with a runaway spirit.”
“But, but. How did it happen! Eh?”
Just when Elsie was panicking, another change happened.
Dorodorodorodorodoro.
The runaway spirit detector again reacted. This time, it was in a completely opposite direction. Elsie and Keima instinctively turned around.
“Uu.”
Keima couldn’t help but bemoan.
“WA~ WA~! It’s Tooru-san this time…”
Elsie looked lost as she said that. In the corner on the opposite side, at a place directly opposite from where the girl was, Amami Tooru was walking alone.
