Tōka Kirishima felt like she was being toyed with.
"There's a limit to how far a joke can go!"
Emiya stopped walking and turned back.
"What makes you think I'm joking?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Tōka snapped. "How could aliens possibly exist?"
"Why couldn't they?"
"That-" She froze, suddenly unable to answer.
Emiya shook his head and continued forward.
Tōka hesitated for a long moment.
In the end, she followed.
They arrived one after the other at North High.
Classes were in session.
The security guard stood at the gate, eyes sharp, refusing entry to anyone unfamiliar.
With no other choice, Emiya went around the back, climbed the wall, and slipped inside.
He quickly found Haruhi Suzumiya.
She was in class.
Not listening.
Chin propped on her hand, she stared out the window and sighed from time to time.
No one around her cared.
The class was focused on the teacher.
Emiya released his psychic power.
When no one was looking, he lifted Haruhi's pen and wrote on her notebook.
I'll be waiting on the rooftop.
The moment Haruhi saw it, she shot up with a bang.
The teacher jumped and pushed up his glasses.
"Suzumiya? Is something wrong?"
"My stomach hurts!" Haruhi blurted out. "I'm going to the infirmary!"
She sprinted out without looking back.
No signs of pain at all.
The teacher sighed.
Then continued lecturing.
Haruhi ran all the way to the top floor, burst through the rooftop door, and charged out.
"Yo, Haruhi," Emiya greeted with a smile.
"Drop dead!"
She lunged forward and headbutted him in the chest.
Emiya stepped back, caught her, held her head in place, and sighed.
"I don't think I've offended you."
Haruhi snorted.
"How long has it been since you last came to see me?"
"You forgot, didn't you?"
"You're the vice-leader of the SOS Brigade!"
Emiya froze.
The last time he'd seen her was at Totsuki Resort.
After that, he'd gone through several other worlds.
All told-
About half a year had passed.
If not for this task, he might've forgotten entirely.
"My fault," Emiya said with a bitter smile.
"I've been busy in other worlds."
Haruhi glared at him.
Emiya coaxed her, promised that next time he found an interesting world, he'd take her along.
Only then did she calm down.
Once her anger faded, Haruhi looked at the girl beside Emiya.
"So who's she?"
"Your mistress?"
Emiya sighed.
"Tōka Kirishima. A ghoul."
"A what?"
"A man-eating demi-human. She survives by eating human flesh."
"Huh?"
Haruhi looked Tōka up and down with interest.
"So this is a ghoul?"
"She doesn't look any different from a human."
Tōka felt uncomfortable.
But also curious.
"You don't even know what a ghoul is?"
Haruhi immediately understood.
"She still thinks she's in her original world."
"I haven't told her the truth," Emiya said. "And even if I did, she wouldn't believe me."
They were strangers.
There was no trust.
Tōka frowned.
"What are you two talking about?"
"You keep saying 'worlds.' What does that mean?"
Haruhi tilted her head.
"Why don't you just tell her?"
"No," Emiya said.
"Huh?" Haruhi stared. "You brought a stranger across worlds?"
"Across worlds?" Tōka's eyes widened.
Emiya explained calmly.
"Ghouls have it rough in her world."
"So I came to see Nagato."
"To see if the problem can be solved."
"To turn ghouls back into normal people."
Haruhi narrowed her eyes.
"You're not doing this because she's pretty, are you?"
"There are plenty of pretty girls," Emiya replied flatly.
"If I chased every one, I'd have a platoon by now."
Haruhi clicked her tongue.
"You think Nagato can really do this?"
"Yes."
"Ghouls were likely created through technology."
"With Yuki Nagato's level, reverting them shouldn't be hard."
"What?!"
Tōka felt like her brain was exploding.
Haruhi nodded.
"Alright. Let's go see Nagato."
"She's probably in the club room."
She waved and led the way.
Emiya followed.
Tōka grabbed his arm.
"You said ghouls were created."
"What does that mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like."
"Humans made ghouls?"
"That's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible."
"Who did it?"
"I don't know," Emiya admitted.
"But it's probably connected to the CCG."
"The CCG?!"
Tōka's head buzzed.
Too much information.
She started to doubt everything.
She didn't even know his name.
"Hey!" Haruhi called from the stairs. "Hurry up!"
Emiya followed.
Tōka hesitated-
Then followed too.
She was already here.
Led by Haruhi, they entered the SOS Brigade club room.
Haruhi pushed the door open.
"Nagato, someone's here to see you."
Emiya walked in.
In the corner sat a quiet girl, reading.
Yuki Nagato.
The Great Nagato.
She adjusted her glasses and nodded.
Emiya sat across from her and explained everything.
Nagato listened silently.
When he finished, she turned to Tōka.
Tōka stepped back instinctively.
Those calm eyes felt like they saw through her completely.
As if she were standing naked.
"No problem," Nagato said.
"But I need a drop of her blood."
"Okay," Emiya nodded.
"Don't decide for me!" Tōka protested.
Nagato didn't respond.
Haruhi crossed her legs, watching.
Emiya spoke evenly.
"One drop of blood."
"In exchange, you become human."
"You can eat normal food."
"Live freely."
"Never worry about the CCG again."
"Isn't that worth it?"
"How do I know this isn't an act?" Tōka shot back.
"You're full of suspicious things."
"If you want my cooperation, answer my questions."
"I refuse."
"I knew it!" Tōka backed away. "You're not trustworthy at all!"
"Then I'll do it myself," Emiya said, standing.
"In your dreams!"
Before she could resist, an overwhelming force pinned her in place.
She couldn't move.
Not even a finger.
Regret flooded her.
Emiya walked over, sliced her little finger with psychic power, collected her blood, and sealed it in a test tube.
He handed it to Nagato.
"That enough?"
"Yes."
"Need equipment?"
Nagato shook her head and began analyzing.
Tōka glared at Emiya, furious and helpless.
Haruhi sighed.
"You're doing something good."
"But you look like a villain."
"She probably hates you now."
"Explaining is a hassle," Emiya replied.
"And I'm not trying to win her over."
"Huh? She's pretty, though."
"She's sixteen."
"I'm fifteen, and I'm still your girlfriend," Haruhi said proudly.
Emiya rolled his eyes.
"I never admitted that."
"And who goes after a fifteen-year-old?"
"That's just wrong."
As they bickered, Nagato spoke.
"Analysis complete."
Emiya looked over.
"And?"
"No problem."
