Chapter 4: Cutting Algae Part One
Texting was a pretty neat function. It was widely adopted by every teenager except the one he, Reigen, had so generously gifted a phone to do it with. Mob was diligent to a fault about picking up his calls, but texting? Still a work in progress. Mob was getting better, though. After all, how else was Reigen supposed to give him a heads up about big jobs before the end of the school day? Excepting the occasional friendly lunch break chat.
That was of course assuming the phone was still intact. After their chat last night, Reigen wasn't so sure. It wasn't like Mob made a habit of texting him first.
Reigen squinted at the clock on his second-hand laptop he'd just replaced the shattered one with. 12:05PM. He had found a decent deal on one in a flea market but there was something off about the graphics. Parts of the screen were always slightly out of frame and most of his day had been spent trying to uselessly dink with the display options until it was righted, but instead he just ended up with a resolution that was too small.
'Ugh. New laptop, and if we're really unlucky, a new phone? I'll just garnish it...' Reigen pulled out his phone and fired off a text to his pupil. You didn't get washed away, did you? Your phone's still working, right?

As he did, he thought thought hard about everything they went through today. Even though Reigen insisted he give it some thought, he still didn't really get the crane story at all. And Reigen was acting weird, just like Asa insisted Misaki was. It was just a hunch, but Mob was beginning to suspect that his master was under the same influence that his master was.
But Mob wasn't sure how to prove it. And he wasn't sure that Reigen knew it himself, so it was useless asking him about it.
Before he could fall too deep into contemplation, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He'd set it to silent while he was at work; he really wanted to focus. He probably should turn the sound back on, right? He didn't even feel the vibration from Teru's text earlier.
Mob flipped open his phone and opened his messages app, then started reading Teru's texts.
