c4 (1/2)

After getting himself dressed, shi+zuru headed down the stairs to a room at the back of the first floor

The condition of Black Maria’s third squad headquarters couldn’t be called extravagant to begin with

It was enough to ward off the winds and rains but it was so would keep at a distance

Whichapart Luckily, since one of the inhabitants, shi+zuru, was s

And that roo apart especially hard

‘That roos’

As a place of living, it had the lance, it was almost in ruins

shi+zuru stood in front of the door ether

He was about to give the door a knock, but he stopped himself

The hinge looked like it was going to come off It was likely to break if he knocked

So instead of knocking on the door, shi+zuru raised his voice a little louder

Not to the point of yelling, but just louder than every other sound

“Cassie It’s et up”

After the call, shi+zuru waited several seconds

There was no response To his

For there was really no instance of a response co back after just one call

“Cassie”

Second call Sure enough, there was still no response

Far frole sound

“Cassie, Cassie, Cassie CassieCassieCassie …”

shi+zuru called out her na a random melody that came to mind

This ht times The record up until noas seven times

Looks like they’re not breaking any records today

“… Haah”

At the tenth call, shi+zuru cut off his calls for once, and sighed

He thought he should rather go inside already, but to enter the rooerous act

He had never forgotten how he al it in the past once

As an aside, if he yelled out loud, he could get hit if his luck was bad

She was relatively, over every

Loud voices would ring in her head But unless he shouted loudly it won’t reach the sleeping person

shi+zuru had spent considerable effort to learn the right amount

“Will you please get up already, Cassie … if I kept on calling you out in front of your rooonna think I’, oy!”

Still no response, time passed in vain

shi+zuru hi to lose count of how many times he called already

It was only natural, since he wasn’t actually counting, but it would’ve been a great help if she would wake up while he still kneto count

shi+zuru nursed that thought every , and was betrayed as many times

It was probably somewhere around the fiftieth call when a response finally came back

“… mmmmmhh … hoaaaaaahhh …”

A mumble came back from behind the door

Rather than a reply, it was roan

A voice that would confuse several people out of ten of whether she was sleeptalking or waking up

shi+zuru er

The door with broken hinges creaked unsteadily as it easily opened

Incidentally, the doorknob was already long gone due to the roo too violent

shi+zuru repaired it four tiain everyti to fix it

“It’salready, Cassie”

The inside of the rooht that one would doubt whether or not it was still nighttime

Of course it was, since there were four layers of curtains to keep light fro by any means

It was practically a blackout curtain With just the light from the open door, shi+zuru walked inside

Even if he knew the roo around

She would sometimes sleep on the bed properly, and other times sleep on the floor

If he somehow stepped on her, what awaited him was a hell of submission

He would then have to spend useless effort to heal his own fractures and dislocations

Which hy shi+zuru stepped carefully — and he finally found the wo on the bed

Looks like she ed to find her way to bed today
