By the time Tsuchimikado Motoharu raided the hotel room, there was no one there.
However, there was an unnatural square cut out from a window corner.
"Damn!"
Tsuchimikado took out his cell phone, and contacted Accelerator.
"Recovery failed. However, with Sunazara having got away from here, the probability of him continuing his sniping is low. For now, suspend Oyafune's address and have it transferred after security measures are set up again."
["I've got word from Musujime,"]
Accelerator said from the other side of the telephone.
["It looks like she's read out the IC chips from the fourth pile of paper money that failed to read out before. The contents are, as expected, the names of those who employed the sniper Sunazara Chimitsu."]
"And who are they?"
Tsuchimikado inquired, then Accelerator answered with a seemingly depressed voice,
["—School."]
"What?"
["Just like our Group...it's an organization hidden in Academy City's underworld."]
