Chapter 83 - Eiji POV Comic Zone (2/2)

”Kei!” Sean cursed when he found himself crudely woken by an abrupt jolt.

He felt wide awake at the sight of Eiji's image drawing closer.

Eiji crossed the road and turned into a quieter section of street, which faded out into bushland.  He stopped and turned when he heard a car behind him.

Kei stopped the car before Eiji's image. Its headlights showing Eiji's dishevelled clothes. Sean noticed a bandage around his arm.

”Get in,” Kei said when he wound down his window and poked his head out.

Eiji sighed, nodded his head and entered the back seat.

Tama got up and did a turn on the seat, rubbing her body happily against his thigh when he closed the door.

” Mata omenikakarete, ureshiku omoimasu ,” Tyne said with a weak smile.

” Hai .” Eiji returned Tyne's smile.

”Let's go.” Kei turned the car around and resumed the drive to their destination.

They arrived to Wiesmen's warehouse office, which was a tall brick building and factory on the banks of the Ota river with a glimpse of the river mouth that eventually led into the Enko River.

Fierce red and orange of evening light streaked a darkening sky, as they parked in the visitor bays before the building.

The fleeting daylight threw a dissipating twinkle on the river's still surface. Creating a lulling ambiance.

Eiji decided to wait in the car with Tama. Tyne decided it was for the best given his condition.

The others tidied themselves up and entered the building, leaving Eiji in the back-seat. Tama was happy to have her pats and attention from him.

”I'm sorry Tama. I won't leave you again.” Eiji cooed near her ears.

She purred happily on his lap.

Eiji closed his eyes, feeling exhaustion catching up to him. He woke when the others returned to the car.

Kei started up the engines and casually drove them down the roads towards the Hiroshima's city center.
