At least I got this part out:

Spoiler for Pursuit:

“Hah… hah… hah…”

With his back against a wall, Inami catches his breath while looking from side to side, as though he’s looking out for something… or someone.

‘Who is that girl? Could she be a Hyperion spy?’

He peeks around a corner and sees a clear walkway with a house at the far end. The Katami residence lies further beyond the house.

‘I picked a bad time to take a walk… If I could reach the Minerva, escaping would be easier.’

He turns back upon hearing footsteps behind him. From barely a block away, he sees a silver-haired girl seemingly in her early twenties wearing sports glasses with yellow-tinted lens walking out of a corner. She turns around the corner and spots him, growing a small grin on her face.

“—!”

She sprints straight towards him.

“Tch…!” He runs around the corner, dashing for the intersection ahead while hearing the steps of his pursuer behind him. Reaching the intersection, he goes left towards another four-way intersection where he sees a rubbish dumpster at the right turn. He dashes into the right path and hides at the dumpster’s side, curling himself up with his back against the dumpster.

Sounds of steps approach his vicinity. His heart beats faster as the sounds get closer, looking to his side hoping the pursuer does not come his way.

“Gah…! Lost him again…” she complains, unaware that her target is hiding nearby listening to her.

She looks around then runs ahead, leaving him as he heaves a sigh of relief. He peeks out the dumpster’s side then slowly taking small steps towards the intersection, looking at all directions and notices that his pursuer is nowhere to be found.

“Who was that…?”

How's that next chapter coming along?
