54. Lost Daze VI

Lost Daze VI (ロストデイズVI Rosuto Deizu VI) is the fifty-fourth chapter of the Kagerou Daze manga.

Summary
Shintaro, who lost his friend, felt like he was betrayed by the world he tried to believe in.

He sat alone in his room, where the crumbled school admission form lied on the floor. When Momo entered, he told her not to do so without asking, but in fact, she had already knocked on the door.

She told him the second semester had started already. She voiced her thought that "Kokonose-san" must have been happy to be friends with "Onii-chan" at the end since he seemed to enjoy himself every time Momo visited. That's why he would definitely feel sad when Shintaro became like this.

Shintaro began saying that he had always made fun of when people got along or made friends with each other, thinking that was just a way for stupid people to comfort themselves. That's why he was punished: "It must have been because such as person as me dared to think "Friends are not bad" that that person passed away."

Momo immediately hugged her brother, crying: "No way...! Onii-chan always try to protect me right? There's no way you would receive a punishment or anything..."

Who knows how much time passed but Shintaro kept locking himself in his room when he received an email though he didn't use mail at all. Smirking to himself, thinking that the mail may have come from Haruka, he opened it when Ene appears.

She realized Shintaro was that guy in the hospital, thinking it was some kind of fate and looked around the dirty room. After realizing the condition of the room and looking at Shintaro's flustered face, Ene began muttering: "Though we both can't replace him..." then smiled brightly: "Nice to meet you! I am called Ene. From today, I am your...Friend!

The chapter skipped to the present where Shintaro was kneeling down on the floor when the Clearing Eyes appeared, referring to Shintaro as the "brother supporting role", asking if Shintaro had seen anything interesting.

He then pulled Shintaro's hair to take a look at his face then smirked at him: "Aren't you making a great impression, one twisted in despair?" Ayano appeared, telling the Clearing Eyes to get away from Shintaro. He then looked at Ayano and said: "Long time no see, Favoring Eyes". The fated confrontation was about to begin.
