Watase smelled something.

Hmm?

The stench of something burning was filling the hallway from somewhere.

Is it just me, or is something burning?
You're right... Where in the world is it coming from...?

The group carefully followed the stench to its origin. They then arrived at a stairwell--



They looked towards the bottom of the stairs and spotted a tiny fire flickering behind the staircase.

It doesn't appear all that strong...
Hey old man, it's dangerous, so stay back and wait.



A blue branch with Watase at 7.

Once he confirmed Ukita was now outside the stairwell, Watase descended the staircase with Kazami.



Was the fire not fully put out and it just relit?
It appears that the sprinklers weren't able to put it out entirely because it was in the shadow of the staircase.



Watase determined that and immediately started giving out orders.

Anyway, prep me a fire hose.
Yes!

Kazami obeyed Watase's orders and ran off into B2.

It wasn't odd for there to be a fire extinguisher in a stairwell. It looked like the fire nearby was almost trying to crawl over to the extinguisher.



(What is it!?)



♪ BGM: Psychological Warfare

Captain, I've got the hos--

Watase started shouting right then.

Tachibana, stay back! Retreat!
Huh!?

Kazami froze where she stood. Warning alarms were ringing in Watase's head.

Look out!

Watase lunged for Kazami as he shouted that. And right after he dove out of the stairwell with her-- There was a brilliant flash behind him.
