A phone? The thought hadn't crossed Reigen's mind until the kid's suggestion.
"Oh, crap," Reigen muttered under his breath, suddenly digging into his pocket for his own phone. He had gotten so soaked through and had tripped at least a dozen times in his mad scramble to find Shigeo that he realized he didn't even know if he still had it--or if it still worked if he did. Reigen closed his fingers around it and flipped it open. The screen still lit up just as it always did. He breathed a deep sigh of relief when--
Kreeeeeeeee!
A sharp whine that was eerily human but not at all human hit his ears and he covered one. Every tsukumogami fled, even the mat under his knees, though it had to worm painfully to do it. The lantern lights flickered in panic. Reigen looked around in surprise, as if he had only just realized they had all been there all along.
Morinji tipped over, spilling what was left of her tea everywhere, the etched featuers of her face twisting in pain. "Ooouuuu...take it away...!"
"Wha--hey!" Before he could even process what was happening, Reigen's phone was being wrenched out of his hand by a freakishly quick one-legged umbrella and being tossed out of the window in short order.
