PROLOGUE THE QUICKENING NIGHTMARE
The beautiful soprano’s voice, one with a wide, emphatic range used to sing professionally, is a portrait of constant change—sometimes high, sometimes low—as it exploits the finely tuned acoustics of a wide, expansive theater.

On the right edge of his vision, the bullet train sluggishly churned its way onto the scene. Normally it’d be here and gone in a flash, but now he could see everything down to the teeth on every individual passenger.
His dossier told him that the target would be seat... |

The monster loomed large in his optically magnified vision. The single Gastrea, clambering an almost sheer vertical wall, looked like a crustacean-type at first glance—one with octopus-style tentacles growing out of... |

“…I think it’d be a good match. If it works out okay and you wind up being happy with it, I bet Enju and Tina would love that.”
“You, too, Satomi?”
Light reflected from a passing car’s high beams streaked across the room for an instant, bathing Rentaro’s and Kisara’s... |

Rentaro slammed his fist on the steel desk as hard as he could.
“God damn it, I’m telling you I didn’t do it!”
“Quit lying to us! Who else would there be?”
“Someone framed me!”

“Well, he might act all happy-go-lucky and clueless, but he’s a natural at his job. And if I may speak freely, Superintendent, I really don’t think you have a chance at catching him.”
Hitsuma stared blankly at Tadashima, then gave him a forced smile. “Oh?” he said. “... |

The core processors behind each of their cybernetic eyes calculated furiously, straining near their maximum output to find a hole to exploit.
But, gradually, the battle began to demonstrate a certain one-sidedness.
“Gah!”

There was a gunshot wound on his side. A sniper hit him, in midair, at blazing speed.
The rangefinder almost reflexively activated in his eye, spotting a figure 200 meters off in the distance, on top of a roof with a gigantic light-up billboard on it.
“N…no…”

Which meant the culprit was someone close to the scene—close enough to visually monitor Rentaro’s movements.
Then something flashed into his mind. “Hotaru,” he said to the inscrutable girl next to him, “you said you noticed Suibara acting ‘strange’ around you, right?... |

Something about the sight of the body struck Rika as funny. She trampled on Hotaru’s fixed expression, stamping on it with her sole.

AFTERWORD
To a writer, the plot is something like the blueprint of a story, something they use as a springboard to weave the entire tale together.
In my case, I start by saying to myself, “I want to do this kind of scene!” then backtrack in my mind in order to figure... |

AFTERWORD
The entities called novelists all more or less have something called escape material. Escape material is the mental catalyst used as an exodus from the physical world full of fetters to the mental world used by an author who’s backed against a wall by an approaching deadline.

Kisara Tendo stood in the middle of the tatami-floored dojo filled with the cool morning air, wearing her black sailor-school uniform. The soft morning light sparkled on her straight, too-black hair, throwing small shadows behind her.

“Don’t lie! Not only haven’t you changed or showered, you look like you just woke up!”
Tina opened her mouth and said, “Oh,” softly, her eyes still half-closed. “You know me better than…I know myself…don’t you?”

“Rentaro, go and do your best on the job,” said Enju, waving at Rentaro from inside the limousine. Rentaro waved back and then followed behind the girl in white in front of him, the Seitenshi.
The Seitenshi’s white formalwear looked like a wedding dress and exposed a lot of her upper back. Rentaro cou... |

“Here, I bought some.” Rentaro rushed back to the bench, handing over the tray he bought at the takoyaki stall.
Tina squinted in pleasure as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. “Thank you, very much.”

“This is the first time in my life that anyone’s been so kind to me, I think.” Tina seemed to remember something distasteful and lowered her eyes a little, rounding her shoulders. “I haven’t really had any fun since my parents died.”
“Fun?”

“It is. There is a large difference in ability between those who’ve reached Zone and those who do not. It is said that those without Zone cannot beat those with Zone.

She was a little calmer and noticed the state Rentaro was in. “What’s the matter, Satomi?”
Rentaro hesitated, but before he knew it, he had told the Seitenshi about Tina. If he didn’t talk about it to someone, the uneasiness that had already risen up to the back of his throat would make him go crazy.

Many times the lethal amount of anesthetic…?
The doctor and nurse exchanged looks, as if the next part was hard to say. “There is one thing we must tell you, Satomi. About your Initiator’s body’s corrosion rate… The process involved to heal the large wound from this time made it rise slightly.”

Miori thought it would be satisfactory if Rentaro took even one of the enemy with him and threw him in this stage half-maliciously. However—
