Yuno gets her order to go ignoring the waitress that's looking at Tori constantly.
"The ride is here, let's go."
Yuno follows Aiko expecting it to be an uber but instead it's a black BMW X5 with tinted windows. Aiko dismisses the suspicious look Yuno gives her.
They ride back to campus with Aiko helping carry all her things to her room. Tori is already fast asleep.
"So? Uhm, is he Tachibana's kid or what?"
Yuno snorts, "Tachibana hates kids with every fibre of his being if he ever gets a child he will hang himself."
"What do you think he's doing right now?"
"Ken Tachibana? Probably something stupid."
The man in question sighs and hits the shower. His schedule has been thrown all out of whack with all these crazy meetings making his gym sessions a luxury rather than a part of his daily routine.
He gets in the car driving to Kaminari Corp, if he keeps chewing away at Kaminari's side deals the truth about his dirty deals will be revealed and the Kaminari Corp building will have to be sold.
It's the biggest and tallest building in Japan worth 7.2 Billion Euro's convert that to Yen and the man will still be rich when his career is over, but 20 to 30% of that will be used to make up for the damage he has caused.
The building itself can be converted into a school and that's exactly what he plans to do.
Kaminari smirks as Tachibana sits in his office.
"You fell off a treadmill? Goodness, I hope that treadmill is alright."
Kaminari isn't even bothered by Tachibana, he's not a man to joke around and he never fails to remind Kaminari how much he dislikes him.
"Let's get to business Kenny. I want the girl in my office by tonight."
Tachibana looks up from his phone, "I'm sorry, could you repeat that." He was sending Ackerman a text to find Yuno and keep her away from Kaminari not everyone knows this, but he's at deaths door.
Ken didn't know it until he asked Ryujin why he would tell Kaminari of all people about Yuno.
"Give-me-the girl." Kaminari enunciates every word very slowly narrowing his eyes at Ken who casually shrugs his shoulders in response.
"Sure, she's not my pet that I keep her on a leash it's really up to her. She's kind and studying to be a doctor, so I think you already know the answer you're going to get."
"I don't trust you Tachibana. Your little goodie goodie act isn't going to sway with me. You might think you've got everybody fooled and maybe you do, but you won't fool me."
Tachibana sends a text to Yuno asking where she is. He knows she's not busy so her not answering is lowkey putting him in a panic.
"You're a clever man Tachibana, you've been playing me and everyone like this is a game, but I'm sure you're aware that I've been at the top since the beginning and you're just a boy that got lucky and made it big at a young age, but you're still clueless as to how this world really works."
Kaminari glares at Tachibana who is on a call with Tori and completely ignoring him. Tachibana knows Kaminari is stalling, what he doesn't know is that Kaminari has an even more twisted plan in mind.
Yuno hangs up by accident and Tori cries, "It's not my fault Ackerman drives with a TV license. Do you think this is a movie where you cross red lights and shit? You're going to get us killed if you don't slow down."
