Well, isn’t it fun to burn it down?
Nei-san laughingly answered.
Well, Nei-san might be an Arson maniacbut.
.You think it’s overkill?
Margo-san asked while looking at the rear-view mirror
Yes.A bit
I answered honestly
We should overdo it.we’re in that kind of industry
Margo-san laughed.
.This case is the Yakuza trying to meddle with Nagisa-san in the first place. That Yakuza was a member of a certain organization and the organization has some responsibility
.Yes, I think so That’s why Minaho reported a complaint to the organization and they Broke offfrom that Yakuza. You can’t see any problem after that do you?
Yup.Got troubled, made a complaint and the Yakuza was Broken off.
It’s the proper course. There’s no error here.
However.In this kind of industry, whatever the result is, they hate it just being free of charge
.Eh what do you mean? That organization would take an attitude about the Yakuza they cut off saying We did that breaking off letter for your sake You should return this loan when the opportunity comes. Isn’t that strange? Our reason is different.People usually make a fair deal with 50-50 isn’t it? They would like to Lendsomething at any reason to the other!
.That’s!
That’s why, it’s needed to have wrong reason to live in here
Nei-san laughingly said.
We’re going to overkill it! You have to show that when they make a move on Kuromorithey’ll be completely crushed! And that we’re going to do it even without the loan from the Yakuza!
We have to make them think that Kuromoriis dangerous They’re crazy. It’s someone you must not meddle with.
.Haa
So you have to go that far?
.That’s why we’re going to burn down the Yakuza’s flower shop. We’ll completely turn it to ashes
Margo-san’s eyes in the mirror had strong will.
Margo-san’s really is a guard of Kuromori She’ll dedicate her life to Kuromori.
After 20 minutes, the car arrived at a warehouse in the outskirt of the town.
The Yakuza’s are running a flower shop in such a place.
There’s plenty of old warehouses in this neighborhood and the rent is low.In addition, the Yakuza don’t seem to sell flowers delivered from the main. Well, they’re just followers
Margo-san seems to have investigated about the Yakuza in detail.
It’s there
Looking at where Margo-san pointed at.
It’s an old two story warehouse. It’s awfully tattered.It’s definitely a Showa era building. There’s a poorly written handwritten banner saying Hanaon the rusting shutter. You won’t be able to know if it’s a Flower shopor a Nose shop1 Furthermore, there’s a Churippu2written on the signboard. It’s definitely the Yakuza shop.
On the right is a monthly rental parking lot, a demolished building, the warehouse on the left doesn’t have the tenant now. Since there’s fire insurance in the building, the owner won’t be troubled even if it’s burned. It’s going to be demolished like the building near it anyway Margo-san explained.
Wear gloves first.don’t leave any fingerprints
Margo-san handed me leather gloves.
There’s also a shoe prepared for Yoshida-kun’s size so you can change to it. It’s a mass produced shoes that’s sold anywhere
O-Okay
I feel like I’m stepping into the realCrimes.
I changed my shoes and put on gloves.
Yoshida-kun and Nei will go ahead and check the warehouse. I think that there’s no one there but there might be some followers who are staying behind
.If there’s someone there? Just shoutFIREand throw this
Margo-san handed me a small yellow pipe.
That’s a smoke bomb. It’s the one used on a car so the smoke blows like there’s fire. Smoke bombs aren’t seen as much in Japan. You only have to pull the pin and throw it
I pushed down the smoke bomb in the pocket
Also, Nei, take this
Margo-san handed an accessory case from the seat.
.It’s a handgun
If there’s someone there, leave this after lighting the place up
Eh.Why? They can discover that the Yakuza was renting that warehouse if they investigate but.Won’t it be perfect if there’s evidence? The police would be overjoyed. The person from the organization would have to cope with it carefully too. The police and the Yakuza would be hostile to each other for a while But.isn’t there the possibility that we’d be suspected too? Why? If a pistol comes out from the warehouse the Yakuza was renting, won’t the Yakuza be the most suspicious? That Yakuza might be behind the organization. Since they cannot identify the truth, no one would question us. Both the Yakuza and police would be busy with the enemy in front of them after all!
Margo-san laughs.
Nei-san looks at the metal pistol shining dully.
.I put some bullets in there just in case. Take care
.Yup, got it
Nei-san put the pistol away in her pocket
I’ll be following behind immediately.act calmly Also, Yoshida-kun!
Yes? Don’t forget to bring thebeat up stick!
Nei-san comes out of the van.
I hold the container of kerosene in both hands. 10:00 P.M. There doesn’t seem to be a sign of anyone in the warehouse. The moon is hiding behind the cloudy sky. Nei-san goes to the back of the building.
.Maru-chan investigated it already but it doesn’t seem to have an electronic security system. Well, I don’t think that the Yakuza would have some money on him
Nei-san says that then checks each of the window on the first floor.
.Look, there it is
One of the windows isn’t locked.
They’re that kind of people so they would forget at least one of them!
The window is easily opened.
Putting the kerosene container on the scaffold, Nei-san sneaks inside.
.Okay, it seems that there’s no one in
Let’s put the kerosene inside first
Then, I climb over the window too. The building is pitch black. Nei-san handed a penlight to me.
Only light your steps.that’s the stealthiest way. You must not light up the wall or ceiling
Black paper was wound up on the pipe earlier so that the light won’t spread.
We advance with lights at our feet. Making a way through the corridor, we opened the door to the warehouse. The warehouse has an area of at least one basketball court.
It’s not so dark here
There’s light from the street lamps coming through the windows of the warehouse.
It’s not that bright but not that dark either. I put out the penlight. There’s a lot of flowers arranged in water buckets. Heaps of empty cardboard boxes are scattered around too.
Ah, there are still flowers in this box!
Hearing Nei-san’s voice, there are 10 big cardboard boxes piled up.
Even though they’ll go bad if you don’t take them out of the box.
Since the flowers are cheap today, they must’ve overbought it
I remembered Miyuki-san’s talk.
In the end, those people aren’t suited for a flower shop!
Nei-san’s angry.
.It seems that there’s no one here
It seems so, .there’s no lights in the upper floors and since it’s 10:00 there’s no one that should be asleep! .Perhaps
To be honest, it’s tiresome to check everywhere in the upper floor.
Okay, let’s set fire here. Then if you shout Fire!.If there’s someone upstairs they’d run won’t they?
Ah.There are iron stairs over there .That’s how it is. Then, let’s start Yo-chan!
I gathered the empty cardboard boxes in one place
Nei-san sprinkled the kerosene on top.
Let’s secure our escape before we set fire
Nei-san opens one window facing the road.
The air of the warehouse is stagnant. The air from the outside world feels refreshing. A plastic case was put as a footing so it’s easy to escape. Nei-san steps on the case.Is it safe to get on? She’s checking the strength.
Then, after we set the fire and check on it, we’re going to escape from here!
