Chapter 39: Terrible Things

"Sawakawa Wood."

"Here."

"Yukina Ezaki."

……

Fujino's voice echoed in the empty classroom, and seconds after Yukina Ezaki's name was spoken, the response that should have been there was delayed; Wade, who was lying on the table, immediately raised his head, and he looked to the side suspiciously, only to see that the familiar position was empty, and there was no one in sight.

"She didn't ask for leave, wouldn't she, could something happen?"

Fujino also noticed the vacancy in the seat, and he pulled out his phone and looked at his inbox—there were no new emails, not a single one.

"You study on your own for a while."

Fujino said hello and hurried out of the classroom to the hallway to dial her aunt's phone.

"Hey-Wei Dejun, why didn't Ezaki-chan come to class today?"

Shuan Liang lowered his voice, pointed to the vacant seat on the left, and asked Wade, who was sitting against the wall.

"How do I know?"

Wade shrugged his shoulders with a look of confusion.

"How could you not know, your relationship is known to the whole class, no, it should be the whole year." Shuan Liang covered his mouth and smiled, looking at his eyes, flashing with a light of "I understand, I understand", he was even worse than Wade, who was cheap.

"Huh?!" Wade raised his eyebrows, at a loss.

"Don't pretend, like going to Universal Studios, visiting Blue Sky Mansion or something, you say yes, Shangying?"

Shuan Liang turned his head to a boy wearing glasses and holding a textbook on the right and asked, that boy was the Yoshikawa Kamiei that Wade had seen in the other world before!

However, he doesn't seem to have changed, just as ordinary, standard high school student as that world.

"Well, these things have spread over the years, but Wade; Do you know how sad those girls who look forward to you are? I'm very sad when I hear that Yazi from the next class. ”

Yoshikawa pushed the square-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the expression on his face instantly became gossipy; At this time, Wade's expression became more and more unnatural, he swallowed his saliva, and actually felt a headache.

"What and what is this!"

Wade clutched his head and shouted frantically in his heart.

"Fujino-sensei, did you say that Yukina's child didn't go to class?"

"Yes, Ms. Keiko, she didn't ask me for leave today, so I called you and asked, what's the matter, isn't she at home?"

Fujino's palm, which was hanging at his side, suddenly clenched into a fist, and his joints trembled slightly with whiteness.

"Uh...... Fujiwara-sensei, I'm not going to hide it, I'm on a business trip in Kyoto right now, and during this time, Yukina's child has been living alone, and as you know, what happened four months ago caused a lot of problems in many companies, and I'm very busy here. ”

The voice on the other end of the phone was hesitant with a hint of embarrassment, as if he was saying something unspeakable.

Leaving her dead sister's child alone in a city she wasn't familiar with, huh...... It's still a little embarrassing.

"That's the case, I hope you can call her and make sure it's safe."

The clenched right hand suddenly released, and then raised to the forehead to wipe the sweat; Fujino said with a smile, and after listening to Keiko's polite words, he hung up the phone and took it back.

"It's not worrying, kids."

Fujino sighed lightly, readjusted his emotions, and returned to the classroom.

The noise in the classroom fell silent in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the point of exaggeration that could be heard of a pin dropping.

"Hello, the user you dialed is turned off, please dial again later, tick-"

"Alas, if you don't reply to the message, forget it, why is the phone turned off, nothing really will happen, right?"

After school at noon, Wade sat on the edge of the roof of the school building with the simple lunch he had just bought in the cafeteria, facing the sun; He put down the phone next to his ear, thoughtful.

"It shouldn't be."

Wade swallowed a piece of sushi when his phone rang in a hurry.

"The positioning system has lost contact, and the last location is in the Higashiyodogawa District."

A line of subtitles about positioning appeared on the screen, and Wade, who thought it was Ezaki's reply, was suddenly much more deflated; But when he paused and thought about it carefully, he cheered up again and looked at the screen again.

"Tracking fails?! But it's all in Higashiyodogawa Ward, so haven't you already left Osaka City?! ”

Wade exclaimed, his gaze drifting to the last time—half an hour ago.

"This ......"

Wade began to hesitate, if he chose to track down the departing vehicle now, there might still be a slight chance, but the problem was that Ezaki didn't know what the situation was now, and if he left her alone, what strange things would happen Wade couldn't be sure.

"Well, let's go straight to her house, I think it's near my house."

Wade closed his lunch box and took out a ping-pong ball-sized bunker from his pocket, and after a meal, he put on the bunker and disappeared into the rooftop in a golden bolt of lightning.

Two minutes later, Edasaki Yukina Residence.

"I can't see it, this house is quite big - No. 125, that's right."

Wade stands in front of a house in the same style as the surrounding houses, with a door sign engraved with the words "Ezaki Clan" on the doorpost, indicating the identity of its owner.

"Ding-dong-ding-"

After a few crisp doorbells, there was still no movement at the door; Wade tried to shout twice, but still received no reply.

Edazaki Yukina is not like Wade, what she likes to do most during her break is to catch up on games and study, and she is a live otaku salted fish.

Of course, occasionally I will wear a cute lolita costume to participate in some activities such as the flower tea party of the lo lady.

Now, after Wade has revealed his identity and intentions, he still hasn't received any response, which is definitely not a scenario that should occur under normal circumstances.

"It's rude to do that, but it's offended!"

Wade muttered for a while, he looked around, and after making sure that no one was around, the figure began to blur, and the sound of an earthquake echoed in the air; He stretched out his blurred arm and placed it on the door, and after a short period of adjustment, his arm sank into the door, as if it had a bug in the game.

A vague figure suddenly emerged from the door, and with a squirming sound, he stepped on the floor of the living room, and the foot that had been the first to come out returned to normal and stopped shaking.

"Ahem, I don't think I wanted to do something indescribable and break into your house, absolutely not."

Coming to the interior of the house, Wade adjusted his slightly displaced hands and feet; Now he has not fully mastered this resonance through the wall, although he has practiced from time to time, but this slight displacement is still inevitable, and Wade needs to spend some time after each resonance to adjust his body.

Twenty seconds later, Wade was back in place; In just twenty seconds, he searched every corner of Ezaki's house, and except for some silk fabrics and daily necessities with a faint fragrance, he found nothing about Ezaki, let alone herself.

To Wade's delight, he found a photo of him and Ezaki at Universal Studios that day on Ezaki's desktop, and Ezaki also specially wrapped it in a sandalwood frame, and wrote the words "best" on the back.

"Since there isn't one-"

Wade pondered, and at that moment, the icon of the Meteorite Group flashed through his mind.

"Ezaki, she's awakened to her superpowers, she should have the possibility of becoming their target!"

Thinking of this, Wade felt a gust of wind blowing, slowly climbing up his back from bottom to top, stimulating his nerves.
