KIRIFUDA MAFIA: TERROR FROM THE PAST
Haruki's hunch

"Halo Ai, Aki, Kurina." greeted Shiro immediately after seeing the three girls welcoming his arrival at Kirifuda headquarters.

"Shiro...!"

"Hello Shiro."

"Welcome home."

They give different responses at the same time. The look of a happy and nostalgic face was clearly visible on the four girls who were now hugging each other.

"Hey Shiro! You forget us again." complained Are who walked over with Haruki. The two are shocked after being told by the twins that Shiro will return to headquarters.

"Where you might forget. It's good to see you again." said Shiro, hugging the young men who welcomed him.

Yuki was just observing their interactions from behind, she was still as quiet as ever, and her flat expression always adorned her face.

Shiro brought his friends to sit on the living room sofa as usual. He wanted to convey something serious.

"Friends, you must have understood about Ichidai and Niro. We, Me and Yuki want to convey something."

Shiro's eyes showed seriousness to the point of confusing the others.

"What's wrong?" ask Haruki curiously.

"We want to attack Harmonics. We want to hack their security systems so that we can infiltrate Harmonics headquarters easily."

Shiro could see his friends showing different expressions. Angry, distrustful, confused, and excited.

"You sure?" the one who does not believe is Haruki. He felt like they were joking. There's no way they can hack Harmonics' security system, he's sure of it.

"Why not? They're so annoying. We should definitely do it." Are excited. Kurina and Ai nodded in response to Are.

"Are right. I'm tired of them too. What wrong have we done until they annoy us so many times." Kurina said her thoughts very loudly.

Shiro looked at Aki, as only she had yet to respond. But he seems to be daydreaming now.

"Aki, what do you think?"

Hearing Shiro who suddenly spoke to her made Aki flinch.

"Ah, I'll come with you." replied Aki.

"Why you?" Shiro is getting confused with her, Aki is usually quite cheerful.

"I'm probably a little tired right now of having to distract the government and the police about Niro's sudden departure." Aki is telling the truth. He was thinking about the next step to outwit the investigation team.

'Aki, I need your help to finish this. Niro's departure will shock this country, I already have all the ingredients and plots you can use, so please help me.'

Aki remembers when Shiro asked for help to create a false plot about Niro's disappearance, he still hasn't finished his duties so he's still a lot of thoughts right now.

"I'm sorry Aki, I must have made it difficult for you." Shiro deeply regretted making such a complicated task for Aki.

"No Shiro, it is not difficult at all, without the help of Shiro and Kak Ai it would definitely not be this easy. It's just that the plot is still running in half and not finished yet. Just relax Shiro."

Aki smiled sweetly, trying to calm Shiro down.

He also peeked at Yuki several times sitting next to Shiro, their relationship still hanging. Aki doesn't matter because they are also now facing a lot of things, she feels the clarity of their relationship can wait later.

She also did not feel angry with Shiro and Yuki. He was disappointed in himself. Because his relationship with Yuki has split the friendship in Kirifuda.

"... All right, thanks for your hard work Aki."

Shiro still felt bad to trouble Aki, but that task was indeed Aki's skill, so he felt better that Aki was doing this task.

"Is there no other way?" Haruki still felt disbelief and worry if the Kirifuda system was leaked.

"I've found the location we stole as the main headquarters. But we can't attack blindly."

"Yes too, we've never done anything like that before." Haruki and the others also realized that they had been very careful about doing things. Even if it is so small. They always try to solve problems without any other problems arising.

Shiro did not respond to Haruki, he did not understand why Haruki was against his decision and Yuki. Silence and tension immediately floated in that central space. Nobody says anything anymore.

"We're talking about this tomorrow at 10 a.m. Brother come with me now."

He immediately pulled his brother's hand, taking him down to pick up the car.

"Yuki, we're not done with them yet." Shiro lamented at his sister's actions.

"No, I want to make sure from Niro. I think Haruki's concern is true, brother."

"But Yu-"

Shiro could not continue his sentence after seeing his sister's stern eyes. Shiro can feel Yuki's strong desire to solve all problems as soon as possible. But he also has to be careful.

"Just come with me."

Yuki drove his car at high speed. The afternoon traffic was very crowded because many people came home from work, the heavy traffic flow did not dampen Yuki's intention to lower his speed.

Shiro can only give up on Yuki's driving style like this. So he just sat quietly beside Yuki waiting until they reached the house.

While his friends at the headquarters were only stunned to see the departure of Yuki and Shiro.

"Why are you against their decision?" ask Are to Haruki who is still stunned.

Many things flashed through Haruki's mind at the moment, so Haruki did not directly answer Are's question

"... I, I have a bad feeling about this."

Are could see the fear appearing in Haruki's eyes that made Haruki's pupils tremble several times.

"Do you not trust us?!" anger arose in Are's heart. He just didn't understand, why Haruki became a coward at a time like this.

"Enough you two! Let's wait for Yuki and Shiro to return!" Ai raised her voice to prevent the two men from quarreling. They all know, that Are is a person who is quite easily ignited emotions. He also frequently quarreled with Haruki and the others never knew what reason Are was angry with Haruki.

"I'll be back to finish my job." Aki was avoiding them, she had many tasks now, and she did not want to interfere in their quarrel. He's been busy.

"Gosh, this is driving me crazy." Kurina grumbled in a low voice after Aki left.

"Haru, accompany me out." Ai asked Haruki. He was tired at the headquarters, he wanted to seek calm now.

"Okay Ai, I'll get the car first."

Ai and Haruki were very close from long ago, she remembered when Haruki first came to Shiro and Yuki's house. That night Ai finds little Haruki fainted and his body full of wounds, they can also see the position of Haruki's twisted hands and feet with a strange angle.

At that time they were still living in the house that is now used as a prison by Yuki. Because the house they currently occupy is still not finished at that time.

Seeing the faint child in front of the house made Ai immediately run to Shiro and Yuki's room.

The three soon ask Hanson to take Haruki to the hospital due to his bad condition.

After a few days of hospital treatment, Haruki finally wakes up. The one who first saw him wake up was Ai, as she was also the one who often kept Haruki in the hospital.

At that time he finally found out that the person they saved was named Haruki. He also said he did not remember what happened to him until he collapsed in front of Ai's house and then Haruki also told him that he did not remember where he came from or where his house was.

Ai immediately tells Shiro and Yuki about Haruki's condition, they decide to take Haruki to live with them in the house they almost finished building, which is now the headquarters of their organization.

Ai and Haruki become best friends after they often interact together. Ai is also the one who first learned about Haruki's feelings for Shiro. She has always supported Haruki, but Haru says that she can't go any further about her relationship. Because she felt that Yuki did not like that there was someone close to Shiro.

Ai and Haruki soon arrive at the park that they often visit while having free time. Ai invites Haruki to sit in their favorite spot.

"Haru, why?" ask Ai.

"I told you, Ai, I have a bad feeling about this!" haruki replied in frustration.

"Tell me what you think."

"You know, if I had a bad premonition, it must have come true. I feel like bad things will happen if Shiro and Yuki really want to penetrate Harmonics security system. I don't know why, but I don't want them to."

"Haru, you must know, if they don't do it, Harmonics will bother us again. Aren't you tired of their distractions?"

Ai tries to persuade Haruki to agree to Shiro and Yuki's plan. On the other hand he also approves of Haruki, but for the current situation, he thinks the sisters' plans are better to do.

In between her time, Ai contacted Kurina who was still at the headquarters. Ai and Kurina have done this often, in case of a quarrel between Are and Haruki then Ai is in charge of calming Haruki, while Kurina must calm Are.

Kurina tells Ai that Are is not very angry right now. Haruki had also been better at regulating his emotions. So it's time for Ai and Haruki to go home. They have to cook for dinner.
