Aoto did a pull-up, hauling his whole body onto the rooftop's edge.
Once on the rooftop, his view suddenly broadened.
Looking around—the fat man was huffing and puffing, fleeing towards the northwest along the intricate alleyways.
"Saito! Mr. Chokata!" Aoto, while moving on the rooftop in the direction of the fat man, gave instructions to Saito and Chokata below, "That fat man ran in that direction!"
The houses around this alley were all tightly packed, and the rooftops weren't high and had gentle slopes, so Aoto, tracking the fat man from the rooftops, had no worry of losing footing.
The fat man glanced back at Aoto, who was chasing along the rooftops.
Aoto faintly saw his lips moving.
Judging from the lip movement... it seemed he had cursed Aoto.
With Aoto positioning himself on the rooftop, there was no way the fat man could shake off Aoto and the others in this complex alley.
