Asakusa District, Haruto Pool Shop.
The shop owner Nakai Jouichi stood behind the counter, smiling broadly as he greeted and bid farewell to customers. The pool shop had become famous, and people loved playing "Bloody Pool" in the compartment where the Ratman's murder took place, feeling that it was only there that they could truly enjoy themselves.
The sound of multiple Shuttle Machines landing roared around, causing Nakai Jouichi's heart to thump nervously. Based on his many years of experience, he knew the authorities were closing in. The next second, he reassured himself, it's okay, just stick to the same story he had used for everyone else, claiming that the Ratman killed those seven people should suffice.
Afternoon sunlight slanted into the shop, and soon this beam of light was blocked by a dark silhouette. Farosa's backlit figure entered the shop, casting a frost-like shadow over the entire store.
