RYUUEN'S POINT OF VIEW
"IT'S been quite a while, Karuizawa," I let out a fake yawn, trying to show my boredom. After doing this over and over, it all felt tedious. Maybe I was just used to it by now. Both Ibuki and Ishizaki looked seriously upset. They might be hot-headed, but they're not bad people. They have their own sense of right and wrong.
Ibuki helped Karuizawa sit up and gently lowered her head as she began to cough hard. By now, her throat and nose must be on fire.
"Yes or no?" I asked her. She shook her head in response, and I groaned in annoyance.
Still, she remained stubbornly silent, refusing to share any information.
"When is he getting here?" I muttered to myself, probably louder than I intended because Ishizaki perked up.
"Why not take Karuizawa's phone and call 'X' via emergency call?"
For once, he made a 'good' idea.
"I already threatened both Shinjiro and X that I'll leak Shinjiro's blackmail if he doesn't come. There's no to call him using Karuizawa's phone. I have his email anyway," I said as I grabbed my phone from my pocket.
The message I had prepared was deep in my mind: 'If Shinjiro's not here within the next 30 minutes, I'm leaking the blackmail material against him'
However, I also have the choice of not leaking it after 30 minutes. As long as I have the blackmail material, Shinjiro's going to be clocked in fear.
And just as I was going to email, a notification popped out of my screen.
'HE'S HERE'
"I see..." I muttered to myself. "Ibuki, tie Karuizawa up again on the chair."
"Got it..."
I kept my heartrate calm and texted Albert back.
[What did he say to you when he approached you?]
[He said to me in English, "I'm the one you're looking for in regard with Karuizawa and the hunt for X}
"Tch..."
I don't know if the boy is Shinjiro or 'X' due to the phrasing of 'I'm the one you're looking for regarding Karuizawa and the hunt for 'X'. If it were 'X,' he'd probably say something more direct, like 'the hunt for me'.
It has to be Shinjiro. It's extremely likely this is the case.
[Allow him to be up here.]
After I sent that message, I quickly went to my camera, "Ishizaki, get in position." I commanded as I put my phone in my blazer pocket.
"G-Got it!" he stammered, his voice shaky.
Ishizaki quietly but swiftly took his position by the door. A moment later, I heard footsteps approaching. Some were loud and heavy... definitely Albert. The others sounded lighter but not too light.
...Drip.
I glanced up at the sky as raindrops began to fall softly from the darkening sky.
'It's conveniently raining when one of the people I'm seeking to destroy is coming up the stairs. What is this? Some sort of show?'
Suddenly, the door creaked a bit and my attention sharpened.
"Is that... Is this it...?" Ibuki muttered under her breath.
I narrowed my gaze at the door, blocking out everything else in my field of vision. Just a little longer... I could almost taste the confrontation looming ahead.
