Nee-san said then hang up the phone.
The concierge of this hotel is my senior
Katsuko-nee told us with a smile.
Katsuko-nee’s senior.In short, a retired woman of Kuromori
She’s very reliable so please feel relieved.
Perhaps, most of the women in the mansion has taken part in Minaho-neesan’s various business.
There’s a firm bond between the women who were made prostitutes.
Ojou-sama.should I prepare tea?
Katsuko-nee stands up from the sofa.
No need. We’re done here anyway. There’s a guest room prepared above so let’s just call for room-service
Then, we’re having supper here as well? Right.the people in room service are safe
.It seems that we’re going to eat supper at this hotel.
This underground facility isn’t just used to run away from the pursuers
Minaho-neesan looked at us.
Electric waves doesn’t reach this underground facility. There’s no relay broadcast facility as well. There are a lot of customers who want to enjoy the Secret Meetingin a place where phones won’t reach.
.Phone?
I’m going to confiscate your phones
Minaho-neesan.told Megu, Maika and I.
.Err?
.Did you not know that the location of a person can be known from the phone?
Un.I’ve heard about it.
Your phones are already identified by those people!
.I see.
Megu and my location can be found out by the
GPS
.
But.Maika would be troubled if she can’t contact her friends
Maika said.
That’s fine
Katsuko-nee took out a machine that looks like a laptop from the car.
We’ve bought identical ones from the phone shop. We’ll just read the data on your phone and transfer it
In addition, Katsuko-nee took out three phones with the same model.
We’ll give this in exchange of the confiscated phones. You can use it so don’t worry. The data from contacts and mails, everything will be transferred. You may not like it but endure it. Once this event settles down, we’ll change the model.
Katsuko-nee said with a smile.
That’s fine isn’t it, Maika-chan?
Megu smiled at Maika.
She handed her own phone to Katsuko-nee, taking the lead.
.Then please
Yes, leave this to me!
Katsuko-nee ties the phone to the machine via cable and begins her work.
It can’t be helped.Maika just renewed the other day.
Saying that, Maika presented her own phone.
I took out my phone as well.
But.They’re faster than I thought
I told Minaho-neesan.
Are you talking about Shirasaka house’s movement being sooner than expected?
Then.Minaho-neesan.
No. Shirasaka house still haven’t began to move yet. According to my investigation, it seems that they hired an underground investigation company but.they have bad reputation, they move slow, and have low investigation ability. Why would they hire those people expressly? As expected, newsspaper people are useless. They have tunnel vision on what they know.thus they’re naive!
.Eh?
Then.Shirasaka house haven’t started investigation yet?
That’s right. Well, with the scale of their investigation company, they’ll complete their preparations by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
.With that said?
Huh.If so, when who’s the crime syndicate that’s coming after us?
.who employed them?
. Knock
Suddenly, the door was knocked!
I was startled by it. This is an underground facility so we’re the only one’s here, right?
.Who’s there?
Minaho-neesan asked.and the person on the other side answered.
.It’s me.Minaho!
There’s only one person calling Minaho-neesan Minaho!
.margo-san?
.Come in, it’s open
The door opened and Margo-san comes in.
.How did it go?
Margo-san took out one sheet of paper when Minaho-neesan asked.
It’s them as expected
There’s a low resolution photo from a surveillance camera somewhere printed on the paper.
It’s a tall foreigner? I don’t get his face though.
.It’s Cesario Viola
.Margo-san?
He’s already in this town!
My head was filled with what’s ahead that I forgot the existence of the strong enemy.
Who’s this foreigner?
Maika peeps to the photo in curiosity.
.Nei’s archenemy
Margo-san spit out.
Nei-san’s archenemy?
Yeah.He’s an American that killed Nei’s parents and is now chasing Nei!
I’m surprised.
Could it be that those people who chased us just now?
Margo-san smiles wryly.
It’s as Yoshida-kun expects.Those are hired people of Mr. Viola in Japan
.Is that how it is?
Mr. Viola’s parents are soldiers so he came in Japan in his childhood and he can speak Japanese. However, he should’ve been in Okinawa. It’s my first time hearing that he has come to the mainland as far as I know. Naturally, since he’s not familiar with the land.he employed locals
Margo-san explained.
Is it that easy to employ Yakuza?
Megu asked and Margo-san.
Mr. Viola’s underground community in US is well known.He must’ve mingled with the people of the crime syndicates in Japan
Then.
The crime syndicate trying to intrude the hotel hardly knows any information on Cesario Viola. Their relationship is just an employee and employer.
As a makeshift.a huge amount of Yakuza will chase Yoshida-kun and Mr. Viola will take a look at our reaction.
.Reaction
The number of people, the scale.and the connection with the underground
I see.
We’re the same though. We’re both still in the dark. But, because of the uproar being concentrated only around the station, we’re able to confirm that Mr. Viola is in Japan. We have checked all the surveillance cameras in the neighborhood
Minaho-neesan let the pursuers chase us around the station to confirm the appearance of Cesario Viola.
Thinking that Mr. Viola himself is near the location.
Then.Where is he right now?
Margo-san shook her head.
Taking a look at the surveillance cameras, he left by the taxi after this. We’re examining the taxi company for the moment but.it seems impossible to chase after him. I don’t think he’ll come to this hotel. He’s not an idiot that jumps to the enemy nest alone!
.They’re already good by just confirming that the enemy is in Japan.
But.Why do those people know our whereabouts?
Megu asks Margo-san.
That’s because of Yoshida-kun’s phone
My phone?
.Iwakura-san leaked information about Yoshida-kun, Nei, and me to the underground community, don’t you remember?
That’s right. Our personal information was leaked by Iwakura-san to the underground community.
Mr. Viola came to Japan because of the leaked information and photo of Nei-san.
.Yes
Nei and I were hidden all the time so it’s impossible to search our whereabouts in Japan
Margo-san and Nei-san are members of Kuromori.
Nei-san never took in a guest so she has never shown her face in Kuromori Margo-san is on backstage as guard so she basically don’t show her face. There’s no information on the two connected to Kuromori.
Iwakura-san had leaked information at least which school Nei is staying but.In the first place, the phone number and address Nei submitted to the office of school are all fictional. Even if someone access it, we would immediately be alerted and be standby to move. It’s holiday today as well so they cannot distinguish Nei’s location from the school. As for me, my address in the university and the embassy are identical. My phone number are all from a different person.and I’m always using multiple ones. Ah, the number Nei and I have been using until now has been disposed. We’ll tell you our new number later!
So they’ve been thorough with that.
Therefore.Yoshida-kun’s the only clue they have
