- (When a train arrives at a subway station, it brings a gust of wind because it pushes the
- air. I have to use that as a sign.)
- This was not a definite answer.
- If he was wrong and messed up his timing, he could fall down in front of the train.
- In fact, he was not sure he would be fine even if he did land perfectly on the roof of the
- train.
- He had no choice but to entrust his life in something he knew almost nothing about. The
- overwhelming pressure of that fact made him want to roll over and give up right then and
- there. He had no safer plan and the situation would only grow worse as he tried to search
- for one.
- He heard a low rumbling.
- His throat grew dry.
- He waited one, two, three seconds.
- And then it came in an instant.
- Something filled his vision. A clunking roar struck his ears a moment later. He was too
- late. And by the time he realized that, the five-car train had already disappeared into the
- other tunnel. If he had dropped down that time, his body would have slammed into the
- track.
- An unpleasant sweat spread across his entire back.
- He could tell his breathing was gradually growing erratic.
- “…”
- (I know the timing now. To a certain extent. It comes five seconds after hearing the wind.
- After five seconds, the train passes by. If I throw myself down with that timing, I should
- land on the train’s roof.)
- Fortunately, there was not a long gap between trains.
- After a few minutes, the next train came.
- He waited.
- And this time…
- Just as the train arrived, Kamijou Touma forcefully jumped down from the duct.
- A metallic thud exploded out.
- Kamijou had safely fallen on the roof, but a tremendous force caused his body to spin like
- a top the instant his body touched it. Finally, his hip struck a protrusion similar to an
- external air conditioner. He cried out as intense pain ran up his spine and he reached out
- to grab onto the protrusions of the train’s roof in a desperate attempt to not slide off.
- The five-car train instantly entered the tunnel.
- “Gh… Pant pant!!”
- He caught his breath and somehow put up with the pain as he lay on his back.
