The same day as the previous chapter...
7:30 P.M At Takahiro's House...
"It's been 5 days since all of this mess have started, I can't believe that in just a span of 5 days there's so many challenges that have happened and come to think of it, Arata and Shinji... It's been 5 days since those two transferred in my classroom." Takahiro taught to himself, scratching his head.
His taughts gets disrupted when a loud knock echoes in his room.
"Seems like she's here already." Takahiro taught to himself, letting out a sigh.
You may enter, Haruko! Takahiro said his voice authoritative.
Haruko opens the door and enters, she then closed the door and proceed to approach Takahiro.
So, let's continue our conversation from earlier...Dad. Haruko said calmly, adjusting her glasses So, Dad as I have said earlier I know that after what happened 7 years ago you are back in action and that you suspect the brothers right? Haruko clears her throat.
Well, yes that's what you have said earlier...So, what do you really want, Haruko? Takahiro said coldly with his usual stern expression.
So, Dad! I want to help you investigate those two...Haruko said calmly, determination evident in her face.
"What? She wants to help investigate...what kind of food did she just ate?" Takahiro taught to himself completely surprised about what Haruko have said.
Haruko, you do realize that it's dangerous to investigate this case right?! Takahiro said losing his composure.
But, Dad! I have helped you solve 3 cases before you retired! Why couldn't you just let me help you this time again?! Haruko said completely frustrated.
No! You don't understand! Those cases are just simple cases for you to develop your thinking skills! I let you help me solve it before for your own good too! But, this time it's different... Takahiro said he is completely frustrated I think you're underestimating this case... because even I are getting outsmarted and played here! The enemy is far more dangerous and this case is too complex compared to those that I have or You have came across back in my time as an Officer! Please understand... Takahiro said with genuine concern.
Fine! If you won't let me assist you then I will investigate the brothers myself! Haruko said completely furious.
"She really just like her mother when she's angry...and just like me when I have put my mind into something I won't let anyone to stop me other than myself." Takahiro taught to himself, letting out a sigh of defeat.
You really are stubborn, aren't you? Takahiro said sarcastically, letting out a sigh of defeat Fine, I will let you accompany me. But, I have three conditions... Takahiro clears his throat First, I won't let you do anything that is uncalled for and will put you, me, and the entirety of the investigation in danger. Second, I will take the lead you will acr accordingly base on my orders. Lastly, Studies should always be your focus more than this. Got ir, Sweetie? Takahiro said coldly with a hint of warmth in his tone.
Yes! I accept your conditions dad! Thanks! Haruko jumps all over the room because of happiness, determination evident in her face Anyways, I am sorry if...I shouted at you earlier, Dad...Haruko said with genuine concern I love you, Dad...She said, flustered and immediately looks away Anyways! I have to go do my assignments! Haruko rushes out of Takahiro's room.
She may have grown up...But, for me she is still the same little Haruko from before. Takahiro mutters to himself a warmth smile formed into his face.
"I have no choice but to agree...I don't want to have a strained relationship with my daughter, besides, this might be my chance to keep a close eye on those two even if I am not around...what am I thinking? I should prioritize my daughter's safety more than anything. I shouldn't get her involved too much." Takahiro taught to himself, determination evident in his face.
At Arata and Shinji's apartment...
Hey! You've been spacing out since earlier at the cafe after you picked up your phone at school! Did something happen? Shinji asks with genuine concern.
I guess you deserve to know too...Arata said coldly, he then throws the Tamayo's letter from earlier to Shinji.
Shinji catches the envelope.
What's this? A love letter? Shinii playfully asks.
Just read it! Arata said coldly.
Fine! Chill! You're no fun, for real! Shinji just lets out a sigh then he opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter.
What...In the...World...Is this?! Shinji asks with genuine curiosity Tamayo... Isn't she supposed to be dead...from what happened 10 years ago...Shinji said, fear visible in his eyes.
That's exactly what I was thinking, How did she survived 10 years ago? Arata said coldly We're not just up against that persistent bastard Takahiro now... We're also up against Tamayo...and You and Me knows more than anyone else, What she is capable of doing just to achieve what she wants. And all she wanted all her life back in the "Akademiya" was to defeat me and to win in everything she sets her mind into. Arata said calmly, frustration still evident in his eyes.
What do we do now? Shinji asks his voice is shaky.
We won't postpone anything just because she arrived, It's true she manages to caught me off guard but that doesn't mean I am afraid of her...We will commence our plan! Arata said coldly, determination evident in his face Give Kaori a heads up, We'll start the planning for the third bombing. Arata said coldly And don't be afraid, Shinji. I won't let her nor Takahiro defeat us! Arata said, adjusting his glasses.
Alright! Let's do this! Shinji got some moral boost and he comes back in his usual cheerful self in an instantance.
"We can do it! We have already started! We have yo see this through!" Shinji taught to himself, determination evident in his face.
"Tamayo... Angeline...Or whatever it is that you wanted us to address you. I won't let you interfere with our plans...I will prevail this round too!" Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses, Determination evident in his face.
Somewhere in Tokyo, At the secret base of operations of Angeline and her team...
Donovan! Angeline calls for Donovan coldly.
Yes, Lady Angeline? Donovan said calmly, bowing his head as a sign of respect.
Have you arranged everything that I'vyasked you to arrange? Angeline asks playfully.
Yes, Certainly! Tomorrow onwards you are going to be a new student at Sakurazaka Highschool Class 3-C the same classroom with those two...And your directives for your early preparation of your plan have been arranged too. Donovan said calmly.
Very good, Donovan! Angeline said, a cold smirk forming in her face Now, call my CIA TEAM say that they should fly to Tokyo, Japan as soon as possible! Angeline said her voice authoritative The game will start soon. Angeline adds, a wide sadistic grin forming in her face.
Much obliged, Lady Angeline! Donovan said calmly, he left the room to do what Angeline tasks him to do.
Angeline then poured a wine in her glass.
"Arata...I haven't won against you even once...All I wanted all my life is your recognition and the opportunity to win against you! But, now everything will change...In this game...I will make sure that your eyes will only lay on mine and I will make sure that I will be the one who will prevail in this little game. I will DESTROY anyone who will try to interfere with our little game even that Takahiro and Japan's MPD...I don't care who it is...What matters is only You and Me." Angeline taught to herself followed by a sadistic laugh, her face full of determination and arousal towards Arata.
"Let the new game begins!" Takahiro, Arata, And Angeline taught to themselves armed with new found determinations.
