lights leaped off the roof of the building and began a leisurely glide.
    It was an enormous hang glider. In the center appeared to be a figure sitting atop a horse.



The problem was that the wings were far too huge for it. They spread at least as wide as the building itself and nearly as big as a fighter jet, blocking out the stars.
    For its tremendous size, the glider held no hint of mass or underlying structure. It slid effortlessly through the air, like a gigantic paper airplane. The flat, sky-spanning shadow caught a breeze passing between the buildings and began a low-altitude flight with a perfect view of Ikebukuro below.
    “Damn! What do…think…are, Lupi…Third? Give up…face…justice! Oh, look at that! The traffic officer is chasing after her, shouting something! W-we’re going to try to follow that flying object!”
    The reporting team packed into their vehicle and roared their engine to follow the police bike. They didn’t get far before the officer wheeled around and stuck it to the driver of the van.
    “Hey! You’re not an emergency vehicle, so you don’t get to break the speed limit.” “Oh? Y-yes, sir.” “And obey the traffic lights.” “Y-yes, sir!” “Uh, well, it looks like our driver is receiving instructions from the police officer, so let’s send it back to the studio for a moment!”
    The next instant, the feed cut, returning the picture to the stunned faces of the newscasters in the studio. Once they realized they were on camera, they turned to one another and began to deliver their opinions on what they’d seen.
    Izaya had no interest in their thoughts. He slowly retrieved his cell phone from the recharging holster on the table and brought up a particular number.

    Several minutes earlier, apartment building, Ikebukuro
    Two shadows writhed within the dark apartment room.
    On the screen was the reality of Ikebukuro, happening right now.
    The shadows huddled before the TV, conversing with bipolar intensities.
    “…That’s weird.”
    “It really is mysterious! Why, why, why? Why did the motorcycle turn into a horse? Why? That wasn’t CG, right? It can’t be! It’s too cool for that! Isn’t that crazy? It’s like super-invincible-superman crazy! It’s as crazy and mysterious as General Sherman or the titan arum!”
    “…Be quiet.”
    “Oh, sorry, sorry! This part is important! But I can’t stay quiet! Isn’t this happening, like, just down the street? Let’s go see it! C’mon! I don’t think I can take this anymore! Oh, geez! I haven’t been this excited since I saw the carnivorous giant cricket fight against the Goliath birdeater! I wanna see, I wanna see!”
    The more excited shadow was cavorting around like a kid on a field trip bus ride, performing a rear naked choke hold on the other shadow. Even as the other shadow’s face was going purple with the force of the fatal attack, it calmly raised its arm and pointed a small spray bottle at the shadow behind it.
    “…Settle down.”
    The liquid within the bottle sprayed mercilessly on the other shadow’s face.
    “…?! Aaaaack!! I’m sorry, Kuru! I’ll…I’ll calm down…coff! Koff, hakk… Gahk… Please, not the habanero spray!” The excitable shadow writhed, coughing madly.
    Only after flopping around and eventually landing in a break-dance rotation on its head did the afflicted shadow calm down.
    “Ahh, that was really rough. You’re so spartanical with your punishment, Kuru!” the shadow said, making up a word out of thin air. The girl she called Kuru ignored her and continued watching the TV.
    “…Can’t wait.”
    “Yeah, well, we only just started school! It’s super-exciting to know we’ll be spending the greatest moments of our youth in a city alongside something like
that
! Super-citing! Super-magic! Superbad!” she shouted inexplicably. Meanwhile, the immobile girl smiled as she watched the giant black wings on the screen.
    While on the inside, her heart swirled with just as much
