Project S.E.C.R.E.T (2)

It's been one year after the last chapter, lol. Hope everyone is still here.

On a side note, I've confirmed that Project S.E.C.R.E.T will end at either part 3 or part 4, then we'll go on to the final arc/chapter of the story at Aliea. However, this story will continue on, following the story of the original inazuma eleven,and I plan on writing this story until I get bored of the franchise. Thanks for your understanding.

Also,I'll ask it here since it's where I can possibly get replies, but how many of you would not mind seeing a shounen-ai novel consisting of only original characters? (So a full-fleshed original story and not just a fanfiction) I'm very curious to see how that will work.

(It's always in Suzuno's P.O.V, there's no need to ask)

Thankfully, the Desarm crisis ended peacefully thanks to the help of Gran—by sending him a list of indecent R-18 places through the internet mail system—I don't really want to question where he got the list of places, though.

—I mean, at least I think it did. The fact that he wasn't seen at Aliea since then sort of confirms this—

"You know, it's been a week since then— you know, since Desarm left for Tokyo and was never seen again."

"What are you, a fucking esper?"

"Espers don't actually exist, just stating a fact here."

"Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean—"

"By the way, have you wondered where Gran even got the list of illegal places to send to Desarm in the first place?"

Is this guy actually reading my mind?

"—You sound like you've got an answer, Haruya."

"Heh, of course I have one. You know, there were a few occasions where I spotted Gran going to these places before he got together with Reize. I was going to use them to blackmail him—here, I even have some pictures."

He showed me his phone, and sure enough, there were pictures of Gran standing in front of sketchy stores.

But Gran isn't the most important part here—

"Say, Haruya, how did YOU manage to take a picture of him there? Don't tell me that..."

"Ehhh... I was just following him, of course! I'm not the sort of person that would go to that sort of place, Fuusuke!"

—No, you're definitely that sort of person. If even somebody like you wouldn't go to those places, nobody would—pervert.

"I don't care about where you went before we got together— but make sure that Reize never sees this, or Gran will probably never hear the end of it."

"Yeah, sure— no, wait, are you assuming that I've went to this sort of place?"

Just as we were gossiping, a loud bang could be heard on our door.

As I opened the door to see what happened, I saw Reize standing outside.

Shit.... Did he hear our conversation?

I glanced over at Nagumo, who was obviously sweating nervously.

"What was that, Reize?"

"The bang? I was knocking for quite a while, but nobody answered, so I tried to Astro Break through the door. Needless to say, it didn't work."
