"Hmm..."[pcms]

Shaken by someone, I slowly opened my eyes.[pcms]

Senior... no, Maruko-senpai, illuminated by the dim light of[r]
the lantern, was peering into my face.[pcms]

*508|
[fc]
...After that, we decided to take turns standing guard and[r]
each of us took a break.[pcms]

*509|
[fc]
I didn't think I could sleep under such tension, but as I[r]
lay beside Ren thinking about various things, it seems I[r]
fell asleep after all.[pcms]

*510|
[fc]
Looking at the clock, about three hours had passed since[r]
Maruko-senpai first stood guard.[pcms]

"Calls are still difficult, but it seems that emails and the[r]

[ns]Wataru[nse]
"Really? Thank goodness! Did you get any information?"[pcms]

[vo_mar s="maru0960"]

"..."[pcms]

*515|
[fc]
I asked eagerly, but Maruko-senpai's expression remained[r]
clouded.[pcms]

*516|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0961"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"Well, a little. The situation is such that the information[r]
itself seems to be confused..."[pcms]

*517|
[fc]
Senpai explained briefly.[pcms]

*518|
[fc]
The bulletin boards were full of pleas for rescue, and the[r]
news content was just short, hearsay-style reports of their[r]
attacks.[pcms]

*519|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0962"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"However, it seems certain that the upper levels are full of[r]
'them'."[pcms]

*520|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"So we'll be holed up for a while."[pcms]

[ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="maru_a1"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=147 y=0][trans_c cross time=150]

*521|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0963"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"That's right. I'll take a rest in preparation for what's to[r]
come. I'm counting on you for the watch."[pcms]

*522|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"Thank you for your hard work."[pcms]

*523|
[fc]
Senpai responded with a light raise of her hand to my words,[r]
then started to walk away but suddenly stopped again.[pcms]

[bgm storage="BGM14"]

[ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="maru_a1"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=147 y=0][trans_c cross time=150]

[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0964"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"Hey, Wataru."[pcms]

*525|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"Yes?!"[pcms]

*526|
[fc]
...I was surprised. Senpai suddenly brought her face close[r]
to mine.[pcms]

[ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="maru_a3"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=147 y=0][trans_c cross time=150]

*527|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0965"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"...I've reevaluated you."[pcms]

*528|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"Eh?"[pcms]

*529|
[fc]
With an unusually soft smile, senpai continued in a low[r]
voice.[pcms]

*530|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0966"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"Let me be honest. I thought you were a more fragile man.[r]
But..."[pcms]

*531|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0967"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"You went to help Ren and Kannagi without regard for your[r]
own life in that situation where even your life was in[r]
danger..."[pcms]

*532|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"That's..."[pcms]

*533|
[fc]
I think it's an overestimation.[pcms]

*534|
[fc]
I think I couldn't have done anything by myself...[pcms]

*535|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"It's because you were there, senpai."[pcms]

*536|
[fc]
Senpai continued without breaking her smile at my words.[pcms]

*537|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0968"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"Moreover, since coming here, you've been taking care of Ren[r]
and encouraging everyone... You've been a really good[r]
brother and friend."[pcms]

[ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="maru_a1"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=147 y=0][trans_c cross time=150]

*538|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0969"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"Even though you must be overwhelmed yourself, the way you[r]
care for others is..."[pcms]

[ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="maru_a3"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=147 y=0][trans_c cross time=150]

*539|
[fc]
Gazing off into the distance for a moment as if searching[r]
for words... Senpai suddenly smiled again.[pcms]

*540|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0970"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"You were quite impressive, you know?"[pcms]

*541|
[fc]
Eh...? Impressive...? Me?[pcms]

*542|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"...Th-thank you."[pcms]

*543|
[fc]
I'm glad this room is dimly lit... If the lighting had been[r]
stronger, my ears would have surely given away how red[r]
they've become...[pcms]

[ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="maru_a1"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=147 y=0][trans_c cross time=150]

*544|
[fc]
[vo_mar s="maru0971"]
[ns]Margarita[nse]
"I'll be relying on you from now on. Let's work well[r]
together again."[pcms]

*545|
[fc]
Senpai gracefully extended her slender hand towards me.[pcms]

*546|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"That's... I should be the one saying that."[pcms]

*547|
[fc]
I instinctively grasped senpai's hand.[pcms]

[ChrSetEx layer=5 chbase="maru_a3"][ChrSetXY layer=5 x=147 y=0][trans_c cross time=150]

*548|
[fc]
Senpai squeezed back lightly in the handshake and then said[r]
'see ya' as she returned to her own bed.[pcms]

[chara_int_ layer=5][trans_c cross time=150]

*549|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"...I've been relied upon..."[pcms]

*550|
[fc]
Maruko-senpai is relying on me...? The reliable senpai who[r]
seems like she can do anything by herself...?[pcms]

*551|
[fc]
I tighten my cheeks that are about to relax with a 'no[r]
no...'.[pcms]

*552|
[fc]
This is no time to be happy. It just means that the[r]
situation is serious. That even my strength is being counted[r]
on...[pcms]

*553|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"I have to at least keep watch properly."[pcms]

*554|
[fc]
Once again, I psyched myself up and was about to get up to[r]
go on watch.[pcms]

*555|
[fc]
But... Suddenly, my sleeve was pulled.[pcms]

*556|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"Eh...?"[pcms]

*558|
[fc]
Ren, who I thought was asleep, was looking at me with a[r]
smile, having woken up at some point.[pcms]

*559|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"You were awake?"[pcms]

*560|
[fc]
[vo_ren s="ren0868"]
[ns]Ren[nse]
"Fufu... Big brother, you looked so cool."[pcms]

*561|

She giggled softly, perhaps being considerate of the[r]
surroundings.[pcms]

[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"Stop it..."[pcms]

*563|
[fc]
[vo_ren s="ren0869"]
[ns]Ren[nse]
"But really, you were very cool, big brother?"[pcms]

*564|

Ren gently took my hand as I turned away in embarrassment.[pcms]

[evcg storage="EV010c"][trans_c cross time=300]

[fc]
[vo_ren s="ren0870"]
[ns]Ren[nse]
"You know... when I barricaded myself in the audio-visual[r]

save me. And then... you really did come..."[pcms]

[fc]
[vo_ren s="ren0871"]
[ns]Ren[nse]
"Thank you... big brother..."[pcms]

*567|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"...Mm."[pcms]

*568|
[fc]
Of course, I would. After all, we are the only two siblings[r]
we have.[pcms]

*569|
[fc]
I thought about saying that, but it felt too embarrassing to[r]
say out loud, so I stopped myself.[pcms]

*570|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"...More importantly, you need to rest properly. You still[r]
have a fever..."[pcms]

[evcg storage="EV010c"][trans_c cross time=300]

*571|
[fc]
When I brought my face close and touched foreheads with her,[r]
I could feel her faint warmth.[pcms]

*572|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"...See, you're still a bit warm. We're going to face even[r]
tougher times ahead, so you need to recover your strength,[r]
okay?"[pcms]

[evcg storage="EV010d"][trans_c cross time=300]

[fc]
[vo_ren s="ren0872"]
[ns]Ren[nse]
"Yes. Goodnight, big brother."[pcms]

face.[pcms]

*575|
[fc]
[ns]Wataru[nse]
"Yeah. Goodnight."[pcms]

Gently stroking her feverish forehead, I slowly got up.[pcms]

The spot I decided on for keeping watch was near the stairs[r]
against the wall. From here, I could oversee the entire room[r]

I sat down leaning against the wall.[pcms]

At my feet were mine and Kousuke's cell phones, along with[r]
Yuuho's, all laid out.[pcms]

All of them barely had signal and seemed to be receiving[r]
emails.[pcms]
