I got Carla to destroy the barrier and have Shin, Yuma and Subaru break down the walls with their bare fists, allowing the rest of us to enter the property without any casualties. We were all unscathed, except for Azusa who threw himself onto the falling rubble… of course. To our surprise, there was no sign of Walter's presence in the castle. His butler caught sight of us, however he was too terrified to stop us. He simply stood there, trembling, panicking as we passed by him. We marched forward, towards the treasure room. As Reiji input a rather…. odd password, we finally reached our destination. It's safe to say that Laito will keep teasing him about it for the coming weeks. Never would I have ever deemed it possible for all of us to spend the final moment of the parade together peacefully. Let's see what the future has in store for us…

“... Pardon?”

He’s offended on your behalf, because if someone insults the person that’s right by his side, he won’t just stay quiet. It’s a matter of pride, proving that he has a good eye on who to keep close to him. His deep voice combined with such a powerful aura definitely helps keep inconvenient people away.

“You have courage to say such frivolous words. Perhaps, take a look at yourself before critiquing others that are way beyond your league.”

“Haha, that’s right… wait.”

It takes a while for him to register that he doesn’t quite enjoy other people humiliating and making fun of you. It doesn’t feel the same when he’s not the one doing it. His grip tightens on your arm, a somewhat protective hold.

“I don’t remember asking for your opinion, no? I’m the one who makes the rules… so I’m saying it’s over.”

If, however, they don’t stop, Shin would easily make his fist connect with someone’s jawline. No hesitation.
