『Help me. I’m going to be killed by Kuwabara-san』

Thirty-seven LINE messages had accumulated in Uguisu-san’s talk room. The most recent message contained an unexpected name.

“Himawari’s going to… kill me?”

There was a history of missed calls and ominous messages before that. Uguisu-san often sends multiple messages in a row, but the content of today’s messages was different from usual.

There were many misspellings, and the messages were short. Somehow, I felt a sense of desperation that suggested something was seriously wrong.

‘What happened?’

More than ten minutes had passed since the last message arrived, and my message was not marked as read.

“I have a bad feeling about this.”

I moved to the eaves just behind the ramen shop and called Uguisu-san back.

“…She’s not answering.”

But no matter how many times I called, only the ringing tone echoed from the other end of the line. If she had only sent me such a message to worry me, it would be strange for her not to answer the phone. Uguisu-san is second only to Himawari in her quick response time, and she usually answers the phone right away when I call.

Could she be involved in something serious?

“That’s right, if Himawari is involved.”

I suddenly had an idea and opened the app. This was a location tracking app for other people’s smartphones that Dr. Gentian had told me to install. It was suggested by Himawari, who insisted that ‘I want you to be able to monitor Himawari at all times’, and my smartphone can now track Himawari’s location at any time. Of course, I have never used it before.

By the way, if the doctor hadn’t suggested this app, it would have ended up with a surveillance camera being installed in Philans Yellow’s room. That would have been terrible.

For now, I have no intention of doing so, but if by some chance I wanted to peek into Himawari’s private life, I could see her sleeping, changing clothes, and even things she wouldn’t want to be seen, which would be mentally toxic.

Anyway, I can use this location tracking app to find out where Himawari is now.

“Well, it looks like she’s pretty far away.”

The mark on the map indicated by GPS was flashing in a mountainous area that crossed the prefectural border. Philans Yellow has been doing a lot of mountain activities in the past few days, so is she in the middle of that?

However, I have never heard that Uguisu-san was going with her. Did they go to the site together for some special reason this time? I’ll send a message to the doctor just in case.

“If the two of them are together, they could be in real danger.”

Both Uguisu-san and Himawari are quite opinionated types. If their opinions clashed and they came into conflict, neither of them would get off easy. If Uguisu-san’s ‘I’m going to be killed by Kuwabara-san’ refers to Himawari going berserk for some reason, I have to go and help her as soon as possible.

I hope this is just Uguisu-san’s ‘lie’, but I don’t think so.

‘I’m on my way now. Please tell me where you are.’

I sent a message to Uguisu-san and rushed back into the Mizukami family’s shop.

“Sorry, Momo!”

When I entered the shop and quickly returned to my seat, Momo, who had just tied her hair into a ponytail and started eating ramen, looked at me in surprise.

“W-what’s wrong, senpai? You look so serious.”

Momo, who had slurped down her ramen, widened her eyes.

Perhaps because I had entered the shop with such a fierce look on my face, the handsome silver-haired clerk from earlier was also looking at me with surprise. Oops, I stood out. I can’t talk about the hero in front of other people.

“Uh, um. I have something urgent to do.”

I whispered in Momo’s ear so that the people around me couldn’t hear.

“Something seems to have happened to Uguisu-san and Himawari.”

“Huh? That means…”

“I don’t know the details, but I got a message from Nightingale asking for help. It doesn’t seem like a joke, so I’m going to go now.”

As someone without the power of a hero, there’s not much I can do, but I’m the best person to stop them if they’re fighting or if Sunflower is out of control.

“I’m sorry I can’t have lunch with you, but I think it’s better to hurry.”

I said as I collected my things. My eyes met the large bowl of steaming ramen with an egg on top that was sitting on the table. The ramen I had ordered was waiting for me to return, of course without a single bite taken.

“…I’m sorry.”

I’m hungry, but that’s not important right now.

“You haven’t touched it yet. I’m so sorry, but I have an urgent matter that I can’t get out of. Is it okay to leave it like this?”

It goes against my policy to order a large portion and leave it without taking a single bite, and it’s also disrespectful to the ramen shop I support. However, I don’t have time to eat ramen when Nightingale and the others are in danger.

The silver-haired waitress looked a little confused, but she said, “I understand,” and took my ramen away. If I were the owner of the ramen shop, I might tell myself never to come back. I’m really sorry.

“I’m really sorry! Well then, Momo. I’m going.”

“Huh? Oh, senpai.”

It pains me to leave Momo, who has come to rely on me at university despite her busy life as a hero, in a place like this. But there’s something I have to prioritize above all else.
