The Ones Within: Utaite Version

Chapter 44: Capture

Soraru uploaded his first cover of the year and I really like it! I think I read on Twitter that his new cover is 1st place in NND and I'm really happy for him!!! I really like it as well and now I'm going to listen to it on loop~ (*≧∀≦*) Anyway, enjoy this chapter~

"I doubt that we can escape with everyone and have a happy ending. This isn't a shoujo manga. This is the real world. There is no such thing as a happy ending for everyone. Get that into your thick skull." Those sentences hung in the heads of the others streamers as they kept walking.

Luz noticed that Urata would probably rather not talk to the other and he wanted to lift the mood but he knew that there was still something they had to do so he decided to take the lead instead.

"We arrived. I'll explain you what you have to do so please listen to my instructions.", Luz said as the others nodded while Urata simply looked the other way. Luz sighed at the tense atmosphere.

"Anyway, as you can see this side of the building is surrounded by a high fence. We are going to climb that up and jump on that tree over there.", Luz said as he pointed at the tree from the bush they were hiding right now.

"There aren't many guards there so it should be fine. Just make sure to not fall down. It will trigger those laser strings and we don't want to catch any attention, do we?", Luz asked as Mafumafu and Sou nodded making Luz happy that there were at least some people listening to him.

"After that I will go ahead and open the window to that building. You guys will follow after me then. Urata, you go last because we need you to see if everyone is fine and help them in case they need help. You also have to get rid of evidence in case there's a need for that.", Luz turned towards the brunette as he said it who merely nodded.

"Ok, then let's go.", Luz said as he walked ahead towards the wall before climbing it up with ease. Shima followed closely after just as fast and after him Mafumafu and Sou climbed up a bit slower before being pulled up by the other two.

Urata climbed up lastly with ease as he landed quietly like a cat. They balanced on the thin wall and walked towards the tree whose twigs lined towards the window inside the building.

Luz spotted a familiar pink-haired male and saw how he was working on something on the door and smiled when he saw that it went smoothly and there were no guards yet as he went back on balancing on the tree. Mafumafu did his best to follow them and even with slight difficulties he kinda managed to do so while Shima didn't have any problems.

Sou was slightly panting not used to so much physical activity and tried his best to keep up. His surroundings started to get a bit blurry and he sweated slightly as he took a wrong step and slipped. Before he could lose his balance and fall though, he felt someone packing him by the arms and looked behind to see the brunette looking at him slightly worried.

"Oi, you have to be more careful.", Urata warned as Sou nodded feeling guilty. "Yes... I'm sorry. Thanks for helping me.", Sou thanked as Urata merely nodded. "Just keep going or we'll fall back.", Urata said as Sou nodded before looking back to the front again and concentrated on the path before him, trying his best not to slip again to not be a burden to anyone. He felt a sharp pain in his lungs as he did his best to breath steadily.

"I-it hurts... I hope it'll get better... I can't be a burden for everyone! We have to get out of here together! So that I can finally see Eve again!", Sou thought as he kept that thought in his mind. And he finally managed to get to the tree without slipping as he breathed out in relief.

With the help of Luz he managed to get inside the building quickly and they waited for a few more seconds before Urata also got in, landing on his feet quietly before closing the window not before checking to see if they left anything behind. He turned to Luz and simply nodded before they continued walking.
