“, Ouken”
Suddenly, a short rhyme was sung out.
The cat completely stopped its devouring of Alba’s body.
Even Touko, who had been watching from the sidelines, reacted to the voice.
From behind Alba there was a man.
He bore a facial expression that was filled with anguish and wore a black overcoat.
Though no trace had given away his existence prior, he appeared so naturally it was like he had
been there the entire time.
The man in black grabbed Alba with both hands and effortlessly pulled him from the jaws of the cat
and dumped him on the floor. The cat was caught in one of the three Bounded Fields that the man in
black was carrying with him and thus could no longer move.
