Chapter 6 (Lead The Way)

"Please pay attention everyone, the train will not stop at the next station. The train will travel at high speed to get to Kyoto." A voice emerged from the train attendant talking to them.

"What, but what about the food that's running out?!" Everything became a protest.

"Senpai we have to get off to the next station" Uminoke looked at.

"What, but didn't you hear we won't stop"

"But I want this train back"

"Umin, listen to me, you said your sister was trapped in Kyoto, would you rather choose someone you just met or choose your sister who is already your family?" Mera looked at her seriously.

"I, don't know, I'm not sure Kachi will survive"

"Umin, I also hope we are safe" Mera hugged her head.

Returning to Imea, she now managed to take Line to the nearest minimarket while seeing that the place was deserted. He put Line in a corner and looked for medicine in the minimarket. "Medicine, where's the medicine quickly... [I don't understand why Mr Line can come here alone, is Miss Uminoke still at the station, but why is Mr Line covered in blood]" She thought while looking for medicine and finally found it with the bandage. "Mas Line" She walked to Line's place but strangely Line was not there, only leaving blood spots. She dropped the medicine and looked around in panicked disbelief.

"Mr Line, where are you?!" She walked out and was a little surprised to see a black cat sitting with his back to her, the cat turned his head with its yellow eyes. He lifted his back and walked under Imea. "What's wrong puss, have you seen Mr Line?"

The cat then just walked away.

"W-wait" Imea followed him. They are in a large parking lot. The cat stopped and sat down and looked up to the side. Even though he was a little confused, Imea also looked up to the side, there was nothing there at all. Imea was silent, confused and looked at the cat. But the cat really wasn't there.

"(?)" She became confused herself.

"Imea..." Suddenly someone called, making her turn around quickly. Apparently Line was walking unsteadily with blood still on him.

"Mr Line... What are you doing... You are still injured" Imea approached and made him sit down, she immediately treated Line's wound and covered it with a bandage. "Sorry if this is uncomfortable. I don't know about treating things like this.... Mr Line... Why did you leave earlier... And why did your wound open... Did you fight?"

"I have to look for Uminoke... She really went into the train... And is that wound bad?" Stare Line.

"I think so... This needs stitches so it doesn't open again... There are no medical people here, let alone tools... What should we do, Mr Line?" Imea panicked a little.

"I can endure this" Line stood up and put on his shirt.

"Bu... But...."

"Never mind, let's go quickly" Line interrupted.

"Where to?"

"Picking up Uminoke"

"Wait Mr Line, you haven't said what really happened."

"... Tsk, she was carried away by a train and the train was headed to Kyoto."

"That's not what I meant... I mean... How did your wound open?"

"I can say that later, quickly go with me"

"Then how do we get there?" Imea stared in panic. Then Line reached out his hand. "You want to come with me, right?" Line looked at Imea, immediately enchanted by his gaze and accepted his outstretched hand.

But from a distance someone aimed at them and shot.

Suddenly Line grabbed Imea's hand and spun her body, like a lap in a couple's dance. At that moment the bullet missed when it was about to hit them.

"... Wooo, what was that?" Imea stared in surprise as the bullet missed.

Line pointed to the side and then Imea saw a man who looked about the same age as Line's appearance came walking arrogantly carrying a rifle. "You're still as great as ever." He looked at Line who just smiled a little. Imea was still confused. "Are you guys..."

"Hot girl, where did you get it"

"I didn't get it, Imea, he is Roland" Line said, Roland blinked one eye making Imea a little stunned.

"(Why is this man... I feel like I've seen him before... But, where)" Shee also fell silent thinking.

"I'm walking to look for supplies, I just left the house, want to stop by first?" The man named Roland bargained.

"No time, I have to save Uminoke"

"Who is that, your boyfriend?"

"..." Line became silent hearing that.

"[Mr Line was asked that, was the answer no... If they were boyfriend and girlfriend he would definitely answer "Yes".... Gosh, I'm curious]" Imea became curious

"Well she's my girlfriend, I really like her" Line stared.

Instantly Imea was shocked. Apparently it's true, Line admitted proudly.

"I wonder how beautiful she is, that you, who have never been interested in women, are just attracted to her"

"Don't talk too much, you have to help me"

"Line, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you left the agency secretly, do you realize that you are a fugitive from them, the members, including myself, were asked to kill you. Because you are considered to have betrayed the agency."

"Then are you going to kill me?" Line stared sharply, they both stared at each other sharply.

Imea who was beside them felt confused by their conversation.

Immediately, Roland pointed a gun at Line's head, and Line also brought out his weapon, namely a knife, and put it next to Roland's neck.

"Stop it!!" Imea suddenly broke them up by pushing from the middle.

"Mr Line... Aren't you going to pick up Miss Uminoke, why do you want to deal with someone else?!"

"... Haizzz, okay, let's go" Line walked first.

"Hey, wait, Line... You have to take responsibility first," Roland followed him. Before Imea walked, she looked behind her.

"[Where was the black cat earlier?]" She was confused. Then walked after the two of them.

Meanwhile, the train stops at a very quiet and messy station. The driver was forced to stop it because the train had to gather energy to go straight to Kyoto.

"Senpai, come on down here," said Uminoke.

"What, no Umin, I don't want to, we have to stay inside"

"Senpai, I want you to accompany me"

"But Umin, I have to stay here."

"Why go there if you don't have anyone in Kyoto?" Uminoke interrupted, suddenly Mera fell silent. Then nodded forcefully. They walked down.

"Hey what are you doing, you will get killed!!" The train people stared.

"We'll leave instead of being hungry inside" Uminoke replied as she continued to pull Mera's hand to walk away from the train. Then the carriage walked slowly away from them.

"Umin, I will accompany you"

"Is it true"

"Because the train left" Mera replied while limp in despair.

"Never mind, let's just leave it, come on, Senpai, let's find food first."

Then they walked less than 1 kilometer and found a supermarket there.

Uminoke was still daydreaming at the supermarket. She still remembers Line's last words.

Mera looked at her confused.

"Senpai, I shouldn't have told him to go alone, I really forgot that he had a wound, now I know why he didn't want to save you because he had no intention at all and was worried about the condition of his wound... I was really very stupid Senpai, am I guilty, I made him die?" Uminoke slowly cried regretfully then Mera also felt Uminoke's feelings.

"Yes... This is your fault Umin"

"Ha... What do you mean..." Uminoke was surprised by Mera's words. Then Mera smiled and hugged her.

"I mean it's good that you're sorry" Mera said. Then Uminoke fell silent.

"(I'm sorry but can I still meet Line again)"

"Umin... Do you understand what is really happening to this world?"

"Line said it was because of a virus"

"That's true but I just got the live video that I recorded earlier on my cellphone" Imea took her cellphone in her pocket and played a video.

"The city laboratory is currently being closely guarded and many agents, military and strong guards deployed by the government have been asked to build defensive fortifications from now on. The laboratory is also trying to make an antidote serum for all of this," said Mera.

"That's true, but I still wonder how they all got the virus... While we didn't?"

"Maybe someone can explain later" Mera replied.

But Uminoke fell silent again and took a deep breath. "I really still regret about Line"

"That's good, you're sorry." Suddenly someone spoke from the supermarket door, making them both fall silent when they heard his voice. Uminoke immediately recognized him and turned her head. Line is seen leaning next to the door.

"LINE!!" Uminoke smiled and cried happily. Then she ran to hug him.

"Line, I'm sorry"

Line just smiled while stroking her hair.

"Miss Uminoke, are you okay?" Imea comes from outside and sees them.

"E...." She fell silent seeing that. Then Mera walked towards her and embraced her. "I'm Mera, Uminoke's Senpai" She stared as she took Imea away so they wouldn't disturb Uminoke and Line.

-

"Line, I'm really sorry, I... I shouldn't have forced you... I'm really sorry and I'm sorry"

"Don't worry, I'm even happier that you're safe. (She's really like a sweet little cat)"

"Line, but how did you survive and how did you get here... Then your injury?"

"My wound is fine and about me being able to come here... That's a secret," Line replied. Uminoke smiled holding back laughter then hugged him again.

"How about you give me one kiss" Line whispered.

"Why?... You're really perverted" Uminoke immediately let go.

"Okay, one day I will make you kiss first," said Line.

"Hmp... I'll look forward to that if you really succeed... (Wait... This is really very strange... Line really managed to catch up on time here and why does he know I'm here. ... He really didn't go straight to Kyoto... Is this a coincidence or what?)"

-

"Eh, so Miss Mera is Miss Uminoke's Senpai"

"Yep, that's true... Uminoke really acts like a child, she really overdoes everything... By the way, you're very beautiful and sexy, huh?" Mera looked at her.

"Th... Thank you... (I consider it a compliment)... How do you feel, Miss Mera... Is it good?"

"Yep, I'm very good because I finished eating... Luckily Uminoke took me to the supermarket on time."

"Thank God... Mr Line and I also came here as quickly as possible."

"Oh yeah... How did you guys get here" Mera stared.

"That..." Imea was silent, hiding something, making Mera confused.
