Summary
“Kogane,” he asks, quiet and stretched out in an apartment that looks to be one in several hundred in a building where the lights have all burnt out, “show me the leaderboard.”
Its eyes shine in the light from the moon outside; whoever owns this apartment will have to replace the curtains, if society survives whatever this is.
That train of thought ends abruptly; there’s someone with forty-seven points. It has to be the person he’d noted yesterday, he thinks; Kento himself is around fifth, lots below him with small counts. Today he remembers the name — Higuruma Hiromi. Kento doesn’t recognize him, not a player he’s seen around in the jujutsu world that he can recall. Not an offshoot of Jujutsu High, not a member of a clan Kento knows. I should find him, Kento thinks. That’s the competition. He could explain why Kento hasn’t seen many people milling around, moving through the city; the chances of being killed are higher with someone like that out there. Kento could probably engage him, he thinks, if push comes to shove, but it would be better overall to wait, observe him.
In the morning, Kento decides, he’ll have a destination: Higuruma Hiromi.
