No English version this month, but the Japanese version goes on. Surely Murakami-sensei couldn't keep avoiding the question of what exactly happened to Eiri at the end of Track 65, could she? Could she?!
At the end of the last track, K asked Ryuuichi why he was at NG. Ryuuichi replies that it's because Shuuichi is there (well he was until he escaped on Tatusha's motorcycle). The scene switches to where the other members of Bad Luck plus Sakano are in a conference room at NG, wondering about where Shuuichi and K could have been for the last three days, and also mentioning that Touma has been ignoring the company to take care of Eiri. Hiro says that Suguru and Sakano are worrying too much, since it's not unusual for Shuuichi to up and disappear. He says they should just think of it as time off. Suguru yells back that Hiro's taking things too lightly, that he knows that this sort of stuff isn't unusual for Shuuichi, but they should be concerned that the company president and their manager are nowhere to be found, putting the future of the company in question.
As Suguru is ranting, a motorcycle comes crashing from below, carrying Tatsuha and Shuuichi (LOL, Sakano gets hit in the face by flying debris). Shuuichi yells out that that woman (Rage, who was attacking them last time we saw her) is invincible, and it's only a matter of time before she finds them again. Shuuichi notices the other people in the room and realizes he's in the NG building (apparently, he hadn't noticed before! Duh, Shuuichi, Touma's an evil genius, why wouldn't he have a dungeon below his building ;P). He marvels at the fact that Touma built such a place (and, I've probably been reading too many Megamixes, but the tunnel Shuuichi and Tatsuha are shown digging reminds me very much of Shuuichi's rectal passageway ^_^;;). Hiro's just like, "Oh, so it was Seguchi-san", and Tatusha tells Hiro to tell Seguchi he should hold his top talent in higher regard (he calls him Hiro-chan ^_^) And then Shuuichi and Tatusha are off again. Sakano starts fanboying about Touma's delicious evilness, while Suguru yells that this isn't the time to be praising him.
Shuuichi and Tatusha are about to make their escape from the building when they're stopped by reporters, who are asking Shuuichi to tell them how Eiri's doing after being hospitalized for serious injuries. Tatsuha tries to figure out how to get away from them, and realizes Shuuichi isn't really listening. Shuuichi's caught up thinking about what the reporter said about serious injuries and, looking really freaked out, asks Tatsuha how bad Eiri's injuries really are. He hesitates a little before saying Eiri's fine, telling Shuuichi he will see for himself soon enough. Shuuichi tells Tatsuha not to worry about the media, just keep going forward. With a creepy look on his face he says that killing everyone who gets in the way will be the fastest way to go, and Tatsuha looks a little surprised before saying "Roger that." To be continued....
So, once again, the question of the seriousness of Eiri's injuries has been left unanswered. Shuuichi seems to think things are pretty bad, seeing as how he seemed to go into psycho-protector mode right at the end (how Touma of him). I say we'll either get the answer next month (if Shuuichi ever makes it to the hospital) or Murakami-sensei will just keep dragging it out and we'll never know for sure :P
