Infori Atziluth ran at his best speed, relying solely on his footwork to keep up with someone whose entire body was covered in a striking white robe.
"Hey, you!"
The cloaked person only glanced back briefly, but didn't stop when called. He continued running, chasing Infori.
Infori, who was chasing him, became confused after the person briefly glanced back at him—he called out once more to stop.
"...Stop!"
He continued chasing the person, determined to catch the white-robed person no matter what.
The white-robed person took a moment to glance at a box—a small chest that seemed important to him. Then, he looked back to see where he was headed.
On the other hand, Infori continued to chase him wherever he went.
They were in the middle of the street, and people were also there. Some were uncomfortable with the white-robed person who suddenly bumped into them but didn't apologize at all.
"Hey, use your eyes when you run!"
The white-robed man ignored that, as that wasn't his goal.
Infari continued running, alternating his steps quickly.
However, he was slightly surprised when the white-robed man produced a series of small balls and threw them at Infori.
"...!"
The balls were aimed at Infori, but he couldn't react before they could. They suddenly burst, making a popping sound and billowing out in a cloud of colorful smoke—surrounding Infori.
This drew everyone's attention to the colorful smoke, giving the white-robed man a chance to run and evade Infori's pursuit. Everyone who saw the smoke was simply astonished, and some were even hit by it, even becoming angry.
"...?!"
"What is this?!"
That was everyone's reaction.
However, on the other hand—as the white-robed man looked back to make sure he wasn't being chased, he was wrong.
Infori emerged from the smoke he'd created, breaking through the wind that obscured his vision. He ran towards him, startling the white-robed man.
His face seemed to say 'how is that possible?!'
"...?!"
Finally, he resumed running, carrying the knife. Infori caught a glimpse of the knife he was carrying, prompting him to speed up his pursuit.
"Give me back the knife!" he shouted, his voice high.
The white-robed man ignored Infori's words—continuing to run faster than before. He turned into a small alley wedged between two houses, only to find that the end of the alley was a barrier of quite high walls.
"...?"
He was a little surprised, but he didn't stop. Therefore, he bent his knees slightly, as if preparing for a light jump. However, as soon as his body lifted, something unnatural happened.
He jumped so high, he even leaped over the wall in front of him. He finally managed to clear the road divider.
Infori, who had arrived there, was shocked. He simply gaped at the scene.
"...?!"
However, he quickly shook off his surprise. Then, he returned to his original state and continued chasing the white-robed man.
"Is that all you have?" he said, his face full of confidence.
As if it were nothing new.
Infori took a few steps back from the wall in front of him. Letting out a short breath, he said,
"Haah..."
Then he ran, quickly pressing his feet against the wall, pushing himself slightly against the wall in front of him. Infori continued doing the same thing, jumping from one wall to the other, each facing him.
Until he finally reached the top, he quickly jumped off the wall, sending him flying and landing on the ground.
He could do it, so an obstacle like this wasn't something that confused him. At that moment, he resumed running to catch up with the white-robed man carrying the small coffin.
A few minutes later, the running white-robed man glanced back to check. However, his right foot hit a small spike.
"Aa—?!"
He couldn't keep his balance, and he fell—even dropping the coffin he was carrying. He was now face down, the coffin still standing in front of him.
Infori came over, stopping a few steps away from the white-robed man, who was still prone.
He chuckled lightly.
"Haha... You caught him, huh?" he said, walking confidently toward the unmoving white-robed man.
He walked casually, as if nothing had happened. But he was wrong—
