Durarara!! Light Novel Volume 06/Chapter 04

The Escapees Intertwine is the fourth chapter of the Toramaru Arc and the first chapter of the sixth Durarara!! light novel, continuing the story where the previous volume left off.

Synopsis
The Awakusu-kai hold a meeting to discuss their three recently-murdered members and the suspected culprit, Shizuo Heiwajima. When they corner Shizuo on the street, he avoids confrontation and flees. Mairu and Kururi Orihara are excited to talk about it in the chat room, even if no one is around to listen. Masaomi Kida logs into the chat room for the first time in a week, after running an errand for Izaya Orihara in the Tohoku region of Japan, and notices that his account was used only the day before. The most likely culprit, meanwhile, has left Ikebukuro to stay out of the fray.

Mikado's junior, Aoba Kuronuma, offers him leadership of his color gang, the Blue Squares. As the remaining Blue Squares members under Aoba had traveled to Saitama to pick a fight with the Toramaru, the motorcycle gang now in Ikebukuro targeting Dollars members, he offers to let the Blue Squares become the targets of the Toramaru's vengeance and clean up the problem he has caused. Mikado struggles with the proposal until they are interrupted by a group of the riders. Aoba and his subordinates stay behind to take care of them while Celty Sturluson grabs Mikado and flees.

As messages come in of Toramaru members beating up Dollars members across the city, a group of Toramaru riders chase Celty and Mikado to Ikebukuro Station, where they get into a fight with the yakuza. Celty hurriedly rushes Mikado, Anri, and Akane Awakusu away from the scene toward safety at her apartment, where Shinra Kishitani and Haruya Shiki wait.
