With the girl's answer, the rest left the restaurant and Amber followed. It wasn't too long before Amber started to drag her feet like an old man and trying to keep up. Although it had been a day, she could still feel the bullet wound and walking for long didn't help much. She was slowing everyone down and she didn't like it at all. Looking ahead, she saw Aster turning his head. She knew she was too slow, so she sped up a little, but to her shock, Aster smiled suspiciously.
"W-wha-what is it?" Amber stuttered anxiously, hoping he wasn't thinking of something bad. But before she knew it, he grabbed her arms and pulled it over his neck.
'Wa-wait what!?'
"AL! Wait! No! Wha-what are you doing? Put me doooaa--" Before Amber could finish, Aster pulled her up into a piggy back.
"Piggyback time~" he said teasingly before continuing the walk.
"AL! Put me down right now or I turn you into Jelly banana! AL! Did you hear me!?" Aster continued to ignored her and walk. Amber continued with her death threats, pulling his hair, and was about to bite on him but stopped when he turned and whispered something to her, surprisingly, in Japanese. "Don't do stupid things like last night. Do you how freaking worried I was?"
'Japanese? He spoke to me in Japanese? And... he was worried? What? Did I... understand it wrongly?' Something flushed in her head as she quietened down. 'Uh... wait... he whispered in Japanese! Don't tell me... He's... embarassed?' A smile spread across her face as she replied, also, in Japanese. "How worried? hmmmm~"
'Equivalent exchange! Haha~'
To which, she could satisfyingly sense his eyesight darting away as he replied, "Shut up and go bald Neechan."
"Tch, tsundere AL." she replied as she giggled inside her head.
Soon the reached Shibuya Crossing and met up with the other group. Finally, they have met up with the other group. There was not much need to walk and so Aster finally decided to let her down. The discussion led to Aster talking much to himself and Amber chuckled every time he did that.
Without much information, they could not even determine when the attacks would be launched, let alone catch the culprit. In her mind Amber wished that the incident would be over soon so she could be properly sent to the hospital, and properly sent back home to her sweet abode.
'However... Reapers?' Amber thought in shock, and hesitated a little before asking. "Um... Could anyone tell us what happened at the police station?"
