With a reason that he had to do a medical check-up at Kibou Hospital, Hide managed to go home early. Of course, the reference letter he submitted was fake because he had already completed the medical examination at Kibou Hospital.

After telling Aizawa to be well at home, Hide then came out again carrying a medium-size backpack and a small waist bag.

First, using the subway he went to the west side of Nichiko to check if anyone was following him. After that, he changed his appearance and clothes in a public toilet before returning to the east side of Nichiko, or to be precise, to the Hakibhara District.

Hakibhara district was a paradise for cosplay lovers, and filled to the brim with culinary spots, karaoke boxes, toy stores, movie theater, and book stores. Almost all cafes, restaurants, and shops in Hakibhara apply cosplay to their service system, and there were almost no toys, films, or literature that cannot be found in this place, be it mainstream, indie, or special requests.

In Hakibhara, the first thing Hide did was borrow a car from a toy shop owner. Hide had confirmed that the toy shop owner was on vacation abroad with his family until next week. So he could calmly borrow the SUV parked in the garage.

Hide also took the time to pick up an RC Speedboat from the shop. Of course, he left the payment for it.

Next Hide went to an airsoft shop. Nikko had quite a lot of fanatical airsofter. So it's easy to find an airsoft shop and its accessories, where the quality of these accessories was no less than the original product and sometimes even better.

Hide left the RC Speedboat in his borrowed car, but he felt uneasy about leaving Formula Hateur, IEP, and his Sieg Sauer P365. So he walked into the airsoft shop with a backpack and waist bag filled with illegal items which could get him jailed for 30 years.

Luckily, in Nikko there were not many shops that had metal-detectors at their entrances. Hide casually entered the shop and headed straight to the counter for the holsters.

"What do you need?"

A young woman with a mohawk haircut, wearing tactical pants with tiger-stripe camouflage, and a dark green tank-top greeted Hide warmly.

Hide glanced at the Navy Cross tattoo on the shop assistant's left wrist before answering, "Hard-holster for concealed-carry, can be paired with a shoulder-strap, and can accommodate an extra magazine and suppressor."

The shop assistant pondered for a moment before saying, "We have two types, for Glox 43 and Wulther PPK?"

"Is there a Sieg P365 version?"

"No, but we have a version of Glox 43 which can also be used for Sieg P365. It just that the holster for extra magazine and silencer is separated."

"Can I see that version? I also need a three-point sling, and magazine-pouch for AEK-74SU and Uzie."

"Wait a minute."

The shop assistant went to the back room, and before long she returned with the items Hide wanted to check.

Hide immediately took out his Sieg P365 along with an extra magazine and sound suppressor from the waist bag, and tried the hard-holster.

The basic concept of a concealed-carry handgun was to be carried at any time in secret, and when needed the handgun could be shot immediately without the need to be cocked first. That’s why concealed-carry weapons such as Sieg P365, Glox 43, and Wulther PPK were small in size and light in weight, do not have an external safety, and the bullet chamber must always be filled with one round of ammunition.

The safety mechanism integrated into the trigger was guaranteed to prevent a premature shooting, but that did not mean that the factory recommended the users to directly slip their weapons under their clothes.

The holster recommended by the manufacturer was usually a hard-holster version, not a soft-holster that had the potential to get caught in a trigger.

First, Hide tried to put the holster on his waist, on the inside of his pants and not on the outside. The holster containing Sieg P365 he put on the right while the holster for extra magazine and sound suppressor on the left.

After that he tried to walk and he smiled with satisfaction because he could move quite comfortably, and if he didn't remove his shirt, no one would know that a weapon was tucked in his waist.

For the three-point sling that he would pair with the AEK-74SU and Minie Uzie, Hide opted for a version with a synthetic strap and hardened aluminum sling covered in black chrome.

As for the magazine pouch, Hide bought six pieces for either AEK-74SU or Minie Uzie. All of them were made of fire-resistant and tear-resistant fabric, capacity of single magazine, and used mini-clips for attaching to tactical vests or belts.

Mini-clips were not as strong as a rope knot or velcro tape, but unmatched in terms of detachment speed, and because Hide would operate in an urban area where there was a possibility he have to quickly throw away his weapons and accessories, the mini-clips were the best choice for him.

When the shop assistant saw Hide's Sieg P365 made of metal, she immediately said, "Hope you know that metal airsoft is illegal."

"I'm tired of ABS airsoft and want to experience a more authentic sensation. Please, don't report me."

"Well, as long as you don't show it in public, I think you'll be fine."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Before long, Hide was out of the airsoft shop and driving towards Hibino Lake.

'It seemed like I should find someone who can help me drive and gather info. Having to attend lessons at school takes up my time.'

Hide continued driving, while in his mind several names popped up.
