I wake up in the late morning, way after ten AM, and staring out at the clear morning sky, I make my decision. This life I’m leading is not going to work. The noodle shop was a bad idea. Turning Rin away was foolish. Hiding from Aoi Uma is the coward’s way out.
It’s risky to the extreme because I have a judge on my case and there are people who want me dead. If Bidder Number Five can find me, and thank goodness he wasn’t looking to put me under lock and key like I thought he was, then anyone can find me. But if I’m going to stay here and help out my people, I’ll do it with every fiber of my being.
