HAJIME'S POV

I didn't get much sleep that night after the whole incident, despite waking up in a luxurious place like hotel room with a really soft bed and a nice bath. Knowing the dangers that might still await for me being held captive, gave me an unsettled feeling. 

I had a new set of clothes changed yesterday when I took a bath and I made sure not to leave my things in my clothes and hid them someplace in the room before I leave them, especially my phone and 'the' pouch. 

I did try using my phone last night to call for help or contact someone I know, but I received a message from an unknown number, probably their hacker, saying all my phone calls and messages are monitored so I better not use it to call for help or they will make it explode on the spot. They really mean business. Which made me suspect they are a part of a dangerous organization just like Saihara mentioned before in the cafe.  

As I went on to check the time on my phone, I saw 2 messages in my inbox. One was from our class representative giving an announcement to all the students from our year level. Our class is suspended for 3 days due to the incident that happened yesterday in one of their student's birthday party. Most of the guests are from our school, and they want to make sure to give their students time to recover physically and psychologically from the event. 

Which reminds me of Rantaro. I felt my gut started to stir from worry again, remembering I left him out there wounded. I know I could've just called him during the event where there was an exchange of gun fires on the main hall, but I cant really put him at risk if he's already hiding and I might get him caught from a ringtone noise.

I opened another message from Chief.

From Chief:

Hi Hinata-kun. I've heard from Amami-kun what happened last night ad I'm sorry you had to experience such traumatizing event. He called me last night to ask for a few days of  absence for him to attend to his wounds, and I presume you need some time to rest as well so don't worry about not being able to go to work today. He's perfectly safe too, and made me tell you not to worry about him anymore. Make sure to comeback soon once you could alright? Hiyoko-chan would be missing you if you're gone for too long. Kidding- hehehe. Message me once you see this alright? I hope you're safe. Hope you two be in your best health after a few days.

------------

Relief washed over me after learning Rantaro-kun is alright now. But what really confounds me is chief saying Saionji-san missing me. She would probably be celebrating instead, now having one less of an eyesore in the cafe. 

After I replied to assure her my safety, I went to check the underside of the bed where I hid the pouch containing the crest and placed it in a secret pocket on my clothes.

I know that I still am under supervision since I checked the peep hole in my room the moment I got up from my bed this morning and found Chiaki standing outside my room and playing her game like yesterday.

'I wonder if I could at least scout the area to find information about these people.' 

I've decided to go wash my face and brush in the bathroom,  then went towards the door to hopefully ask Chiaki if they could show me around.

When I opened the door, Chiaki looked up to me with her usual sleepy look and seems like she's still in daze.
