Akira's stepsister?!
Miwa stood up and held Himari's hands. "I'm so happy to have a sister. How old are you? I want to know if you are an older or younger sister. " Miwa said with glistening eyes.
"Em.. I'm twenty years old." Himari said reluctantly.
"Twenty years old!?" Miwa exclaimed then looked at Akira with teasing eyes. "Akira, I didn't know you liked older women." Miwa said teasingly.
"Really? I'm older than him?" Himari asked looking shocked.
"Yeah, Akira is just eighteen years old. And he's chasing someone two years older than him. Such a rebel." Himari said.
A vein could be seen bulging on his forehead. "Just shut up!"
The girls laugh at Akira's angry face. Not long after, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Akira said.
The person unlocked the door and walked in.
"A-Akira, d-do you have a minute?" The person said fidgety.
Himari and Miwa stopped chatting to see who it was that sounded so scared. When Himari saw the person, she was surprised. Not that she didn't know the person but she was shocked by the way he sounded so weak.
The person was Arata Murai.
The way Arata talked to Himari left the impression that he was a bright and confident person. But compared to the way he's acting now, it made the way he acted in the hospital look like an illusion.
Miwa on the other hand was mesmerized by the presence of Arata. Miwa had been staring at him ever since he entered the room.
Who is this guy? Why is he so cute? Why haven't I seen him before? Thoughts like these were running rampant in Miwa's mind.
This is indeed the first time Miwa has seen Arata reason being that both Akira and Arata have been overseas until recently. They only came back because their sources in Japan finally found the whereabouts of his childhood sweetheart, Himari Fujioka.
So, yeah. This is kind of shocking for Miwa.
Himari turned her attention to Miwa who's mouth was wide open. "Hey, a fly will enter your mouth if you don't close it." Himari reprimanded.
"Oh, sorry. I got carried away. Anyway, do you know that guy?" Miwa said while pointing to Arata.
"Oh, him." Himari paused to look at Miwa's face. She was busy admiring Arata's cute features with flushed cheeks.
Does she like him? Himari thought.
Himari smiled and then said. "You know, his name is Arata Murai. I think he's Akira's friend or personal assistant. And I think his single too."
"Oh? That's good... Hey! Why will I want to know that!?" Miwa said flustered while Himari laughed at her reaction.
After talking with Arata for a while, Akira walks up to Himari. "Hima, I'm going to head out with Arata for a while," Akira said.
"We just got here. Why are you going out again?" Himari pouted.
"I have an urgent matter to attend to so I have to leave," Akira explained.
"But still..." Himari didn't like the idea of Akira heading out when they just arrived at their house. She wanted him to stay with her throughout the day. But, her plan is ruined because of some urgent matter.
Akira could see Himari's disappointed expression. He also didn't want to leave her because of his "plans" for her, but this matter is too urgent to be suspended.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Akira said while stroking Himari's hair.
"You promise?"
"Yep, I promise." Akira said with a smile.
"Fine then. You can go." Himari said.
"Bye." Akira said as he left the room.
Once on the other side of the door, Akira's facial expression turned serious. Even Arata didn't act cowardly anymore rather he was acting dead serious.
"So you've found him." Akira said.
"Yes, he is currently in our interrogation room. That's where we're heading to." Arata explained.
"Good." Akira seemed to be angry for some reason. "It's about time that guy paid for what he did." Akira said coldly.
...
In a dark room, there was a table that had one chair on each side. A man was sitting on one of the chairs while Akira was sitting down on the other one.
"Hey! I've been here for an hour now! What is it you want to talk about?" The man said rudely.
Akira sighed and then brought out some documents then threw them to the man.
"Does this contract ring any bells?" Akira said indifferently.
The man slowly read the document with flimsy hands. The document consists of a series of transactions made between the man and the Fukushima family and a contract that had two signatures on it. The owners of the signatures were Takumi and Aoki Fujioka, Himari's parents.
"H-How do you have this?" The man stuttered.
"You scammed those poor people. You told them that they were signing a petition for a charity foundation. You used your friendship against them and after you were done, you dumped them like trash. Leaving them to pay for your debt." Akira said sternly.
"So? It was their fault for being so gullible. Besides, they were worthless anyway. Poor people have no power in this world that's a fact." The man said nonchalantly.
Akira clenched his fists because of his statement but remained calm. "Typically, I would have sent you to prison for what you did. But I'm really angry right now so I'm going to make you disappear." Akira said with killing intent in his voice.
"Make me? Disappear?" The man laughed. "Kids these days. Hey! Who do you think you are huh!? Don't think because you wear a suit and a tie and you have like two bodyguards makes you special. You're just a trashy kid with a shitty attitude." The man said rudely.
One of Akira's bodyguards wanted to attack the man but was quickly stopped by Akira. "Don't. Let me." Akira said as he stood up and walked up to the man.
"Hey mister, I don't think you understand the situation you're in." Akira said as he blinked his right eye twice causing the symbol to appear again.
Akira got close to the man and stared at him dead in the eye.
"You just provoked the most powerful man in Japan."
