Even Death Doesn't Apart Us (English Version)

Chapter 6

End of February 2024 /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ*\

Kenta hopes that the meeting will end soon. Sometimes he gets annoyed with the mid-month schedule that he has made, it's boring. Calls, online meetings, proposals and contracts that be read carefully.

Even though he has been working like this for ten years, it never gets any less boring. However, Kenta knows this is his responsibility as a YouTuber and CEO, so he can't complain.

When he took his eyes off the computer screen, Kenta realized that his room was only lit by light from the computer. In the upper right corner, the clock showed almost nine in the evening, and he realized that his stomach had been showing for a long time. Kenta tried to focus on the meeting, even though his mind was elsewhere. In the refrigerator. Hopefully, there will still be food provided by the IM team.

It's been a week since the back house became IM's studio and Aika's residence. Kenta thought there would be more changes, but not. Aika rarely goes to his house except when taking a shower or making warm water.

The back house hadn't been used in a while, so the water heater and gas needed a lot of repairs, and the winter didn't help. Kenta himself doesn't have a problem, because Aika doesn't make a mess. Kenta found the kitchen and bathroom cleaner than usual.

In Kenta's imagination, IM team members are serious, mysterious people, and have purely professional relationships. The reality is very different, they are friends who like making games.

Their relationship is deeper than Kenta expected. Because they were concerned about Aika's safety. With Minamoto and Watanabe' help too. They all made a moving plan to confuse the stalker to prevent him from tracking the real route to Kenta's place.

Aika arrives in an old pick-up car with Watanabe. She said they borrowed it from Watanabe's neighbours. When asked about the moving truck and other team members, Aika answered they would arrive in an hour at the latest.

Not long after Aika arrived, an electronic goods truck came and stopped in front of the back house. It turned out that the truck was an old goods truck that Aika used to transport her personal belongings and all IM equipment.

When the officers unloaded the goods from the medium-sized truck, it could carry four computers, four tables along with gaming chairs, a sofa, and a wardrobe. Aika entered the house first, directing the officers where to put the equipment. Only carrying one large suitcase, and when asked she only answered with a flat expression. It's only one month, this is all I need to bring.

Half an hour later, there was a silver sedan, and two men got out of the car. Aika introduced Nishikawa Hideo as the leader and main producer of Ignota Mundi.

Hideo's appearance is neater than Kenta expected, unlike the typical gamers Kenta knows. He looks clean with his hair cut like a Korean idol. "Nice to meet you," his voice was very small, reminding Kenta of himself before entering the business world.

The person who came with Nishikawa was Fujimoto Akira, a sound engineer and game background music maker. He was the tallest among them, had brown curly hair and a pimply face. His smile immediately disappeared when he saw Kenta.

When they met, Kenta could feel that the man didn't have a good impression of himself. His speech was provocative, unlike Mori who had no bad intentions, which made Kenta warier of him. He was quiet while waiting for the others to come and help Aika. Kenta felt this was the calm before the storm.

Exactly an hour later a black SUV arrived containing the entire IM team. Three boys and one girl. The person who came down first immediately approached Kenta and introduced himself. He gave a big smile and shook Kenta's hand firmly.
