Chapter 70: Tsubaki

'Damn it, Jayde isn't here.' Aoi spent the last few hours searching the neighbouring area and Jayde was nowhere to be found. 

Stopping in an area where a lot of the buildings had collapsed or been destroyed, Aoi found herself in a much older part of the city. Hiding in a building that was partly collapsed while eating some food, she kept a lookout on the street.

'I would like to search the entire area, but knowing Jayde she would have tried to run closer to gate 12 or 1 in hopes of finding Reia.' Aoi didn't want to waste her time at gate 11 as it was more likely that Jayde ran. 

'Mmm but I don't want to just in case she is here.' A slight fear of not missing someone who was only just around the corner built up in Aoi. 

Looking down at the ground she contemplated on staying in the area just in case or moving on. However, while Aoi was thinking, a person's footsteps echoed out in the street.
