.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
.Me?
Iwakura-san leaked out the information about who you are and which school you go to. Your mobile number, even if who of your classmates has 10k yen, they’re able to have that from the phone network .Perhaps they do.
Who’s number did I write on the emergency contact again?
That’s why those guys come to you first.
.Is that how it is?
Nobody knows that I’m related to Kuromori They just think that I’m a normal high school student. They’ll take a hold of me then have me spill out Nei-san’s location.
Ah.Then, Maika and Megu are still safe, aren’t they?
I sighed.
If I’m the only one they’re aiming, I can deal with it somehow. But.Margo-san.
You see Yoshida-kun.the underground world is comparatively small
.Ha?
What do you think will happen if Mr, Viola’s hired Yakuza and Shirasaka family shared information?
.Share information?
It would immediatelye known that Megumi-chan’s the girl who run away with you. Shirasaka house is requesting to search Megumi-chan no investigation companies. Students on the same class and same school would be uploaded on the underground community. There’s no person who won’t think that you two are related.
In short.They’ll cooperate and come after us?
It’ll be immediately found out that we’re behind Yoshida-kun and Megumi-chan. If both targets are in the same group. There’s a high possibility that Mr. Viola’s hired crime syndicate and Shirasaka house’s hired investigators will cooperate .Certainly.
That would become troublesome.
Can’t we have the syndicate hired by Cesario Viola withdraw?
Katsuko-nee asked Margo-san.
Un.If we use the name Kuromori, the crime syndicate might give up.
That’s no good. The crime syndicate is connected with Mr. Viola. There’s almost clues on that mister. We should let him free and gather more intelligence
Margo-san’s opinion is reasonable.
.We’re able to escape to this hotel from the crime syndicate by chance. They don’t know our relation with this facility after all.
Minaho-neesan said.
Those who enter the underground gate of this hotel will be Guestswithout question thus.they cannot tell information about the customers, they’ll reject it. That would make the other side quiet Kuromoriis a prostitution ring that is associated with the big shots of politics and business circles.
That means that they’d rather die than tell that Information about the guests For the time being.Mr. Viola’s hired crime syndicate would hold back. They would feel indebt with the hotel that’s under the rule of Kuromoriwithout knowing anything. But.Shirasaka house. They know that they’re dealing with Kuromorifrom the start.
.We need to make a hit before Shirasaka house is able to arrange themselves.
Margo-san said and looked at Maika.
