Chapter 2424: Monsters Invading? Kagami Taiga's Shock!

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop on the other side.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kuroko Tetsuya had already finished their rendezvous.

"If you hadn't called out to me earlier, I would have just overlooked you,"

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked Kuroko Tetsuya up and down, clicking his tongue in wonder, "Such a terrifyingly low presence — what an incredible ability."

At this, Kuroko Tetsuya quietly sipped his coffee without a word.

Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't mind, shifting his gaze to the black-haired young man beside Kuroko Tetsuya.

After a couple of glances, his brow furrowed. "Wait a minute! Why did you bring this guy along too?"

"That should be my line... I was clearly the one having coffee with Kuroko Tetsuya earlier."

Kagami Taiga rolled his eyes — the one who had barged in halfway was clearly Sakuragi Hanamichi! Why would Sakuragi Hanamichi—

act so self-righteous coming to question him? Then Kagami Taiga glanced at Kuroko Tetsuya with some confusion. "Oh right, Kuroko! When did you make plans with this guy? I remember... wasn't I the one who asked you out? You don't seem to have called anyone else in the middle either!"

"... This is just an accident!"

Kuroko Tetsuya's voice remained flat.

After a brief pause, he looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi. "I already asked the President earlier! Even with Kagami Taiga here, there's no problem."

"... The President agreed? If that's the case, I have no objections."

Sakuragi Hanamichi clicked his tongue and didn't dwell on the topic.

Kagami Taiga listened, completely baffled.

President? What president? Why was he having coffee with Kuroko Tetsuya just fine,

when a Sakuragi Hanamichi popped up out of nowhere... and now it seemed there were others too. Accompanied by several sharp crashes, several cars collided on the street.

"What's going on?"

Sakuragi Hanamichi turned and looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass window toward the lobby.

But strangely, although quite a few people were gathered by the roadside, they weren't paying attention to those... crashed cars, but were instead staring at the sky in shock.

"... What are they doing?"

Kagami Taiga spoke up. "There's been a car accident... why is everyone looking at the sky? Isn't anyone calling the police?"

But before Kagami Taiga could pull out his phone, Sakuragi Hanamichi realized something and got up to stand before the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked toward the sky, and then his body suddenly stiffened.

"... What's that look on your face?"

Kagami Taiga's expression was strange. "Don't tell me you're seeing a flying saucer right now."

Without comment, he came to the window, and when Kagami Taiga looked up at the sky, his expression also froze, then shifted to horror and panic.

His voice carried a slight tremor.

"What the hell is that?"

A massive rift had appeared in the heavens.

Accompanied by a piercing shriek, an enormous bone dragon made of white bones suddenly shot out from the massive rift.

It opened its mouth and spewed blue flames, dyeing half the sky blue.
