Hoshino Aqua's POV
As I sit in the couch, playing games in my phone, I heard the door to our house open.
"You're back." I said.
"I've dealt with the rat successfully." Suzuki coldly stated. "He will be found dead in a dumpster a week from now."
"I... see. Did you get any information from him?" I said. While I was terrified at how he casually talked about killing someone, I decided to simply ignore it for now. I have long since accepted that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and his kids are a bunch of monsters in human skin.
"I learned a lot." he said. "We have 10 days to prepare for the assault on your mother."
"It's Ai's concert 10 days from now!" I said.
"Exactly, they're planning on attacking her on that day." he confirmed.
"Who's the culprit?" I asked, barely holding on to my anger.
"Shindo Kaori and Himekawa Airi."
Himekawa Airi... she was an actress, wasn't she? And Shindo Kaori is another idol...
"From what I can glean, those two are responsible for much of the suffering in Hoshino Ai's life, as well as your father's." he said.
I perked up at the mention of my father.
"You know about my father?" I said.
Ai had never mentioned his name to us, only stating that he was also a celebrity and that the two had a secret relationship. Considering their occupations, it was very much reasonable that things will end up that way.
"His name is Kamiki Hikaru." Suzuki said. "He had been protecting Hoshino-san from danger, but from what I've gathered, he is close to reaching his limit."
"I... see." I replied weakly. "So what do we do now?"
"We need to take stock of all the possible scenarios when it comes to Hoshino-san's assault, as well as all of the resources available to us." Suzuki said before he began pacing the room. "First, we need to assess how the assault may happen. Where is the concert taking place?"
"It was at the Dome, I think." I said, remembering the time when I overheard Ichigo-san and Ai talking about her upcoming concert.
"I see. In that case, we need to think of all the spots where Hoshino-san may be attacked."
"The parking lot? Backstage? It can't be during the concert itself..." I began to think.
"They could also do it on the way to the Dome, or before she comes there at this house, but to be honest, I don't think they'll try it." Suzuki remarked.
"Because of what you did to that fellow?" I guessed, and Suzuki nodded.
"Killing him will definitely make them more cautious of attacking Hoshino-san right at her house. They may think that Hikaru Kamiki may have gone... overboard with him. Doing it on the way to the Dome is also risky for them, since they risk the police interfering."
"That's true."
"It's either the parking lot or backstage, then. We need to have someone guarding her at all times just to be safe." Suzuki said. "As for the available assets we have, there's Mom, me, Honami-nee-san, Auntie Shinobu, Miharu-chan, Mikey-san, Draken-san, as well as Lelouch-san."
"Why only them? What about Ayanokouji-san?" I asked.
"Dad can't move around too much. We are certain that our grandfather is keeping tabs on him somehow, so we can't have him moving around too much, or else there is a distinct possibility that he will find out Dad has changed somehow, and that is the last thing we want to happen."
