章節 194: The Incident in the Pharmacy Factory (III)

If earlier, Yuki had thought that a volatile solvent leaking into the air, which could poison everyone nearby, was bad enough, he was now in for a rude awakening. It felt as if Murphy's Law was working against him. First, there was the unexpected explosion that forced everyone to evacuate more than 20 meters from their original spot, causing panic among the crowd. Now, with Kato suddenly disappearing from sight, it was as if a bunch of butterflies were summoned inside his stomach and dancing mockingly at him.

"Sugawara-san, Kato-san isn't here! I will go back and find her. You stay here and make sure everyone is in order!" he shouted amidst the chaos.

Hearing this, Arina Sugawara's eyes widened in shock, and all color seemed to drain from her face. "Not here?! What do you mean?! I swear I held her hand the whole time!" Gone was the calm and elegance usually present on her face, replaced by the panic that took over her feeling right now.
