The building is right across from here, so theres no way Ill miss him as hes going in
Oh! There he is!
Anghel enters the building, a massive manila envelope under his wing. Is that full of comic pages?
Time to go in after him!
I waited a little bit before entering after him, so that he wouldnt notice me.
The music stops.
![](3-HS0268.jpg)
![](4-HS0269.jpg)
There are a few birds walking around inside, but nothing suspicious.
I cant imagine Mr. Nishikikouji fitting into such a completely ordinary-looking company, really.
Never mind a sore thumb, he must stick out like a thumb thats been nearly lost in a freak machining accident and is now attached through elaborate bandaging in a last-ditch effort to save it!
I took a quick look down the main hallway and sure enough--

![](9-HS0271.jpg)
The incredibly conspicuous golden pheasant and the similarly conspicuous bleeding-heart dove disappear into a door at the end of the excessively ordinary hallway.
Their conversation just now didnt sound at all suspicious But my danger sense is tingling. After them!
The music stops.
I slowly approached the door that they had entered, making sure not to alert any of the other birds of my presence.
This is the room
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
Theres a light on above the door. It says--
![](11-HS0272.jpg)
![](12-stats.png)
What? What!? No one answers me.
In any case, Anghels in danger! Enough sneaking, its time for actions! Loud ones!
With no time to waste, I kicked open the door.
![](13-HS0273.jpg)
In the very un-meeting-room-like room are Anghel, unconscious, and--
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
--the flashy pheasant, drawing blood from him.
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](14-HS0274.jpg)
Saying creepy stuff like that while draining away somebirdies lifeblood is an awful lot like a certain fluffy heretic!

I brought my leg up for the strike, but Mr. Nishikikouji moved out of the way just in time. There was now a large hole in the ground where he had been standing.
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
Hes in better shape than the aforementioned fluffy heretic!
![](17-HS0276.jpg)
Thus the flamboyant heretic happily praises me. Oh, stop! Ill blush!
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
The music stops.
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](18-HS0277.jpg)
Did I? Maybe I did. Geez, between you and Mr. Nanaki, a girl just cant get away with a little slip of the tongue around here!
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
Mr. Bishikikouji-wait no I mean Mr. Nishikikoujis cheerful tone of voice is suddenly gone, his words now barely audible.
This must be what they call the calm before the storm.
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](19-HS0278.jpg)
![](20-HS0279.jpg)
Mechanical whirring sounds echoed through the room, ending with a loud, shrill beep.
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
I jumped to move Anghel away from Mr. Nishikikouji, and we both ended up on the other side of the room.
By the time my visibility returned, I couldnt believe what had happened to the room.
![](21-HS0280.jpg)
Good thing I got Anghel and got out of the way! I could have been vaporized!
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
Mr. Nishikikouji made a step to the side, revealing what had caused the damage.
![](22-stats.png)
![](23-HS0281.jpg)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
He must be talking about that. That thing where he draws other people into his fantasies when he gets excited.
But if its based on Anghels powers, then how is he
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
There are two birds attached to the laser!
![](24-HS0282.jpg)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
The pheasant inflates his chest and begins his lecture. He was angry up until a minute ago, but now that hes talking about his creation he seems pretty happy. Is his personality that simple?
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](25-HS0283.jpg)
Umm Why am I shivering?
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](26-HS0284.jpg)

![](29-Otaku_B_Portrait.png)
That sounds like disgusting paint! Wait, I think this is the first time Ive seen otaku who say moe~ in real life!
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](30-HS0286.jpg)
The music stops.
Wh what ?
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)

![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
As I approached, the mechanical whirring began again as Mr. Nishikikouji prepared the laser for another shot.
Aaagh! I cant get close!
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
I cant fight very well while carrying Anghel, either. I think I might have to pull out for now
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](7-Tohri_Portrait.png)
![](32-HS0288.jpg)
And so I recovered Anghel and fled from the Golden Weekly headquarters
The music stops.
![](33-HS0289.jpg)
![](34-Ryouta_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
After making my daring escape from the Golden Weekly building, I called Ryouta and Mr. Nanaki in order to come up with a plan for tomorrow. Anghel had woken up by the time we arrived at our meeting place.

![](37-HS0290.jpg)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](8-Anghel_Portrait.png)
In other words, hed go to a meeting, be stunned, have blood taken, and then go home feeling dazed and anemic.
Thats too much! How did he not notice!?
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](36-Kazuaki_Portrait.png)
![](38-HS0291.jpg)
Aah Calling up and saying Excuse me officer, but theres a comic book editor and he wants to blow up my school with a giant laser probably wouldnt get more than an immediate disconnection.
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](36-Kazuaki_Portrait.png)
![](10-Hiyoko_Portrait.png)
![](8-Anghel_Portrait.png)
![](34-Ryouta_Portrait.png)
Who is Mr. Nishikikouji trying to get revenge on, anyway?
Since hes targeting the school it must be a student or teacher here, but
As curious as I was about his intentions, I couldnt let myself get too caught up in thinking about it. We had to come up with a way to stop his laser, and fast!
