07. Mekakushi Chord IV

Mekakushi Chord IV (メカクシコードIV Mekakushi Kōdo IV) is the seventh chapter of the Kagerou Daze manga.

Summary

 * Momo uses her Eye Ability, Drawing Eyes, to determine where everyone's eyes are pointed to and that there are nine terrorists on the floor. She tells Kido and Marry to get ready to push down a large TV with her by the terrorist leader and Shintaro and waits for a cue. Shintaro suddenly yells to the terrorist and insults him; knowing that everyone's attention is drawn onto him, Momo gives her cue. The girls push down the TV, some speakers and lastly the shelf behind the terrorist leader. He's crushed beneath the shelf, and Shintaro runs past his concealed sister to lift the security system.


 * Momo thinks that everything will be alright, but she hears a gunshot and sees Shintaro collapse to the ground. She's worried for him, but the shutters are opening with the police on the other side, and Marry urges her to act before a shootout begins. Momo mentally apologizes to her brother and readies herself. Kido negates her Concealing Eyes on Momo, who uses Drawing Eyes to make all the hostages and terrorists look to her. She introduces herself as an idol before Marry steps in front of her with her Locking Eyes. Kido quickly conceals them, Kano, and Shintaro as the police storm the floor and find the terrorists and hostages still as stone.


 * Kano reports that Shintaro is unconscious and might have only been grazed. They celebrate their victory and discuss Momo's successful plan before noticing that Marry, who had wandered off to return the handheld massage device, was talking to a police officer. Kano laughs at the situation and Kido hits him, causing him to fall on the floor. Panicking, Marry points towards the Dan, causing an officer to walk towards them and bump into Kano. Kido's Concealing Eyes negates on Kano and he is exposed; Kido and Momo grab Marry, but they cannot hide her since some officers are still looking at her. Thankfully, Locking Eyes wears off on the hostages and terrorists and the officers' attention is diverted, so Kido is able to once more conceal all the Dan members and Shintaro.


 * Kido orders Kano to carry Shintaro; Kano complains but complies after she threatens him with a fist. Momo remembers to pick up Shintaro's phone and greets Ene, who asks on the situation. Momo promises to tell her once they leave. She calls to Marry, who refers to Momo by her first name, and they agree that they had a lot of fun. Ene jokingly wonders if this is the rumored "yuri" she has heard so much about and Momo turns off the phone screen before she can say more.
