章 33: Winners!

A heavy silence was hung on the field with Void's unblinking eyes fixed on the still surface of the dark water, anticipatedly waiting for any sign of movements.

Inside the cell, Haruto stood still, head bowed, exuding calm confidence and unshakeable determination.

The surface of the water trembles, breaking the stillness. Shinji bursts through, emerging with a chilling smile on his face.

"It's Number Sixty-Six!" Void's voice echoed around the field, brimming with excitement. Haruto's face showed a flicker of disappointment.

Shinji, now out of the water, quickly shed his swimming flippers before sprinting towards Naoto's cell.

Haruto's heartbeat raced with anxiety, "Come on Esamu, where are you?" worry tightening in his chest.

"Sixty-six is charging towards the cell!" The Void shouted, his voice wild with excitement, "He's gonna do it, he's gonna free his partner!" his voice bubbled with fervor.
