Seki-san mutters.
Speaking of which.where’s that Asami-san .Ah Obliquely behind the line, from a high place.she’s following while looking down on the site. Alone.
Somehow.Asami-san stands out
There’s one female guard looking from above the Judo type guards.
Having an earphone in her ear and a radio at hand. She’s giving directions via gestures and voice over the radio. Yeah, she stands out.
I wonder if she’s an idiot. Well, I can understand the feeling of overlooking the whole situation from a slightly above position but.she intends to go there alone?
True, there’s no assistant nor aides.
Eh.she intends to communicate with the subordinates via radio?
I don’t get it but.I think that there’s no hindrance to the transmission of commands.
She’s instructing loudly from the top.
Not that.if the one in charge of security is in that place by herself, what would you do if she was attacked first?
.Ah
That person’s only focusing onKakkashe’s not being wary of her surroundings you see? Attackers aren’t alone. They might have someone to crush Asami-san, the head of security you know? If the command system gets confused, the enemy troops will attack i see.
Therefore, chief Tanizawa’s right behindKakka Normally, the security for today should be left to Asami-san.Chief shouldn’t be on direct guard, and should be looking at the whole from where I stand Yeah.not in front of the line but a step back, monitoring the situation.that is chief Tanizawa’s original standing.
True, Tanizawa-san and Asami-san’s position are swapped
Asami-san who’s the actual site manager is looking over Jii-chan’s line.
Tanizawa-san who should be only monitoring Asami-san’s job is protecting Jii-chan’s side.
Wrong.it’s a big problem for Asami-san to be on ahigher placethanKakka If she’s monitoring the whole place.then she should be where I am, from a lower placethan the person guarded
Seki-san said.
That is the iron rule for theguards.guards shouldn’t stand out more than the person they protect!
Listening to Seki-san’s words, I look at the positions of the guards once again.
.True, Asami-san’s position, she’s the only one obvious. Talking to the radio.making gestures, Asami-san giving instructions to the guards in black clothes.everyone can see that she’s the leader of this place. On the other hand.the place where Seki-san and I are in. We’re far from Jii-chan’s line but.we’re naturally mixed in with the arrangement of the other guards in black clothes.
It’s fine to have just the guards know who’s the top of security. And yet, she tries to stand out on purpose
On purpose? That person’s selling herself toKakkaand Kouzuki group!
Oh right.
Asami-san’s objective is to get acquainted with influential people and have them support her in the future when she runs as a politician
She’s not suited for security at all
That’s right. Why did chief Tanizawa choose that person?I never thought that it would be a person this incompatible with the job!
I wonder if chief Tanizawa’s eyes are getting cloudy.
Speaking of which, Seki-san. you’re a full-time guard, and yet why you’re here?
Normally.she’d be with Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san, not leaving Jii-chan’s side.
I got off earlier.
Got off? If I enter guard.it’ll be advantageous to you
Us.Kuromori
Chief Tanizawa.knows that you’re up to something, only until that point. That I’m on your side too
Oh
If Seki-san is next to Ruriko once Margo-san does something. Then the kidnapping would go smoothly
Therefore.I was told to watch over here
.I see
In exchange.I won’t help Asami-san though
Not helping Asami-san.
Means that she’ll overlook us kidnapping Ruriko. I check the position of everyone. Yoshiko-san is on Jii-chan’s side. She looks at Ruriko who’s behind from time to time. But, there are a lot of people in between Ruriko and Yoshiko-san. They’re far apart.above all, Jii-chan forbids Yoshiko-san to communicate with Ruriko. Ruriko’s looking down. Misuzu walks lightly with Ruriko. From the surrounding gazes, Misuzu can only be seen to support her cousin who lost her father. Behind them.is Michi. Michi seems to know where I am no matter how far away it is. Our eyes met. That’s why I know what’s in her mind. Whatever happens, she’s ready to respond immediately. Then.where’s Nei? Nei’s.away from the security guard from before, looking at our line like a curious spectator. Having a natural feel. Ah, she looks at me smiling. Then, I also prepare myself. There’s no doubt that this is the critical point.
Now then.this is the Ruby-con river
Seki-san said.
The parade of people will try to cross the street. This is the front of the crematorium. It’s forced to be deserted. There are no cars on the street at all. There’s neither signal light or pedestrian crossing.Kouzuki security guards cross the roadway along with the parade.
If it was me.I’d go with this timing
The parade comes to the road.
Just in time.
.It seems they’re here
.Huh?
I turn my eyes towards Seki-san’s gaze.
.Bus?
There’s a big bus coming from the crematorium parking lot
.Is that?
It’s the bus Kouzuki house boarded in a while ago
Oh, they used that to move from the funeral ceremony venue
Once the dinner’s over.they’re supposed to carry them from the parking lot of that restaurant.however
Seki-san said.
They’re not used to moveKakka
.Right.
While the guards concentrate on moving Jii-chan.why would they bother to move the bus?
But, they won’t be going back to the crematorium anymore.so it’s not strange for the bus to move towards the restaurant in this timing
Yeah, the cremation and the memorial service is already done.
There’s no need to use the crematorium.so it’s just a nuisance to the facility to have a bus parked at the crematorium all the time. It won’t be strange to move it to the restaurant which is the next destination.
Now, how would she judge this.that is Asami-san’s aptitude test
Director Asami.
Ah, she doesn’t mind it.
If it’s a bus unrelated to her.then she’ll be alert, but. That bus is owned by Kouzuki security service. The drivers are obviously guards from the same company. Therefore.she seems to have judged that the person in charge did it voluntarily But still, .some of the black-clothed guards mind the bus.
There are some who try to check the situation or get away from the placement of guards, but. Asami-san shouts something at the radio. They immediately returned to their formation.
Just now, she takes priority forKakka’sguards to cross the way, she ordered don’t move
Seki-san’s got earphones for the radio too.
She’s listening to Asami-san’s instructions in real time.
Is there a reserve who’ll look at the bus?
There’s none.she must be thinking that it’s fine to just check it afterKakkacrossed the road and entered the restaurant
Then it’s too late.
For some reason.the tourist bus that came from the parking lot. Makes a big turn. And is coming towards us!
.what?
Why is it coming towards here?
The guards raise their voices.
The bus is speeding up
.Hurry up, everyone give way!
Asami-san screams
It’s impossible!
Even if she says that.there’s more than 50 people that have crossed the road.
There are old people other than Jii-chan too. There’s no way they could run across the way.
