[Sister Eiji, please!]
There was a thud, followed by a step. Isak's cry was heartbreaking.
[I've been kind enough to let you go, but you kicked me and hit me.]
The man's voice sounded arrogant. No more sounds like a chase. However, next, there was a thud and a clattering.
[Sir Eiji ..].
The girl's voice sounded weak. Slowly, it becomes murmured like smothering. Suddenly, the noise disappeared.
That voice sounded very clear. It was Anki. The girl screamed, looking terrified. While the voice of the man who was with the girl, Sanubari did not recognize her.
"Sister with Anki? Who's the guy? What's going on?" Sanubari spontaneously confronted Abrizar with questions.
The sound quality was very clear, as if Abrizar and Anki were in one room. It doesn't sound like a recording.
"No, Sanu. I don't know who he is either. This I got after hacking Eiji's phone. Eiji turns out to have a wiretap on Anki."
"Failor?"
"Yes, hence, I know where Anki is."
"Where is he?" sela Sanubari is impatient.
Sai and Renji were silent. They let Sanubari take the call quietly. Although Renji talks a lot, but he knows when to talk and when to be quiet.
"Where's Anki?" ask Sanubari again.
Hearing Anki calling out her brother's name, it felt like Sanubari could not ignore. He wants to help Eiji. Even though Eiji forbade it, he still wanted to leave. He can tell Anki that he left of his own accord so that Eiji would not get involved.
Supposedly, he said that to Eiji earlier. Sanubari lamented the delay in his thinking.
"Abe no Harukas, Osaka" replied Abrizar from across the street.
"I know where it is. I'm going!" exclaiming the fiery Sanubari.
"Wait, Sanu! Before you go to Osaka, meet me at the Honjin mosque! There's something I want to give you. It might be useful."
Not without reason, he said that. His investigation made him think hard. If he can't get in, then not necessarily Eiji can.
Abrizar managed to hack the entire electronics building Abe no Harukas with eroper— hacking technique without internet network. He broke into the airgap security system without leaving a trace. His ability to use waves is incredible. In fact, the distance of thousands of kilometers was not a problem for him.
After getting the position of Anki, Abrizar studied the entire building security system from the bottom to the top floor. However, there were two rooms he failed to enter. One of them is where Anki is.
Not being able to enter now, doesn't mean that Abrizar can't destroy his security system. He only needed a stronger intermediary to continue his actions.
"I get it" Sanubari said, not wanting to waste any more time.
He hung up the phone and changed his clothes. He wouldn't stand lingering outside with just the jinbei. The shirt with the coat and glove still makes him shiver, especially just a layer of clothing as thin as jinbei.
"Did you just talk to Eiji?" asked Renji who was watching Sanubari.
The teenager looked rushed. His face is also very serious. The teenager nodded.
"Sister Ren, Brother Sai, I'm leaving now. I'm sorry, I can't help you guys." Sanubari put the T-shirts Sai bought into the shirt to make it warmer.
"Where are you going? We're here to work, not mess around."
"I'll catch up with Eiji's sister. Anki's in danger."
Sanubari changed its destination from the nearest station to the airport. As a result, there is no public transportation. Running is impossible. It'll take him a whole day more if he does that.
"How can I go back to Nagoya right now?"
Sanubari stood desperately in front of the inn. He's at a dead end. But later, Sanubari recalls that Eiji managed to get away from Hokkaido. She calls Abrizar to ask him which station Eiji is going from.
Shortly after, the phone connected. Sanubari immediately spoke, "Sister Abri, which station did Eiji come to? Maybe that's all that's still in operation."
"He didn't go to any station, Sanu. Ah, forget it! Just open your application! I'll open a path for you."
The experience of living in Japan for weeks makes Abrizar at least understand the operational system of Japanese transportation. He knew Sanubari would have a hard time finding the vehicle last night. Therefore, Abrizar tracked Sanubari's position, then hacked the train's operational system.
Actually, the plane is the fastest option. However, Sanubari was not a pilot. He himself is just blind. It was impossible for him to fly a plane with remote control.
That's too risky. Abrizar did not want to endanger Sanubari's life. The only safe is by land, although the travel time is longer.
"okay!"
Without disconnecting, Sanubari opens the map. He picks up the headphones, attaches them to the ear, then connects the calls to the headphones wirelessly.
Sanubari ran following a route that suddenly appeared on its own. There is no departure time. Sanubari.
"Sister Abri, I also saw this transportation route. The new Shinkansen will leave at around six."
"Special for you, the train will leave as soon as you enter the carriage."
"Well, are we gonna steal a car? N-no! I don't want to be a thief. Anyway, I can't drive the train."
"You're not driving. The train will run by itself. We just borrowed for a little while. I'll return it as soon as you get there" explained Abrizar as he fiddled with the laptop.
He strung up the one-way train line, blocked the intersection, and avoided a dead end so as not to crash into the parked car. The green line on the monitor moves longer, until it reaches the last point.
[Mapping complete. The freeway route is ready to use. Starting point ... Tokyo station end point]
Meanwhile, Sanubari continued to run, entering the station. Abrizar tells her not to use the transportation card. Unlike usual, the ticket gate did not sound as soon as it passed through.
Djia boarded the subway to a larger station. There's no time to relax. Sanubari returned to running once the train stopped. Go up and down the stairs looking for the next platform according to the route given by Abrizar.
"Peron four, Hokuto."
Sanubari looked up, read the signboard to find the intended position. The station was completely silent. Sanubari was the only stowaway that night.
The white dot on his phone screen turned blue as soon as he boarded the right train. Two and a half hours, Sanubari had to sit in an empty carriage. Upon arrival at Shinhokudate, Sanubari's journey is not as smooth as before.
He met with a security guard while searching for the location of eleven platforms. He had to make the officer faint first before continuing on the journey. At half-four in the morning, Sanubari managed to enter the next train car.
Hayabusa drove on unmanned, entering the Seikan tunnel. It should have roared deep at the bottom of the water of Sugaru Strait Out of the tunnel, Abrizar's voice again sounded.
"Until Tokyo, you have to go to Nagoya on the Shinkansen in the normal way. Since you will arrive when the mapping is operational, there will be a greater uproar if we continue to use this method" he said while making sure nothing went wrong.
It was like he was playing a train game. He had to be careful not to get Sanubari caught. Finished checking the smoothness, Abrizar opened another window, disconnecting Sanubari's phone.
"Why not move? It's been four more hours" murmured Abrizar frowning, "what happened to him?"
[A hundred meters of ocean off the coast of Nishikinohama.]
...That was how Abrizar's laptop said as he once again checked the details of Eiji's position. Abrizar moves his fingers up the keyboard. He had to check in more detail to be sure of something....
