"Who is Mr. That white? Is he in the government environment?" thought.
The mysterious official then looked at the rows of officials who were around the place. Busy guessing which office is behind the scenes and controlling Black Shadow all this time. Or maybe the person is outside the governing coalition which means not having any office.
"What will you do?" asked the adjutant to see his superior dissolve in his mind.
Smiling softly while stroking his chin, he said, "Some say, to uproot a tree is not enough just to cut it, but it must also be uprooted to the roots. Find out who Mr. Whites!"
"Ready. Will you keep your previous plan?"
"Of course" the official replied briefly.
On the other hand, Yuriko had just left Rai's apartment. Right after, Rai's phone rang displaying an unknown phone number. Rai tried to reach his phone, then answered the call with his eyes still closed.
"Moshi-moshi ...."
A second later his eyes widened when he heard the notification of the second interview call at the company where he applied for a job. Inevitably, he immediately woke up and prepared himself.
Wearing a black suit with a white cameja as an interior, Rai also headed for one of the famous companies. Yes, a week ago, he had conducted an interview test with thousands of other participants. Now, he gets a second call, which is the last interview that determines whether he is accepted or not.
Yuriko arrives at Shohei's apartment and finds the man wearing his tie.
"Ohaiou!" yuriko's greeting rushed straight to the kitchen.
"Ohayou!" reply Shohei friendly as always.
"Gomennasai, I'm late."
"No problem! I'm not in a hurry either."
Yuriko watched Shohei who was now tidying up her hair. "Join ...."
At the same time, Shohei turned towards her while saying, "Yuriko-san, I have something to talk to you about."
"What's that?" ask Yuri quickly.
"Eng ... How, huh?" Shohei stroked the back of his neck, "I plan to get my lover to move here as soon as possible. But, I don't know yet if he needs a waiter or not."
Yuriko who knew the direction of Shohei's conversation, then immediately cut in. "Ah, about that, yes! Incidentally, I also want to say that I was invited by a friend to work at his family's coffee shop. So, maybe I can't continue working here" he said, swinging his hands together.
"really?" Shohei looks happy.
"Gum." Yuriko nodded while thinning her lips.
"Yokatta (thank God)! I thought about this for days. I was worried that my partner would prefer to build an independent family without an assistant and I would have to lay off you. Hopefully in your new workplace, you will be more successful!"
Building an independent family? Does ... mean they're getting married soon?
Yuriko turned quickly to her back Shohei. His bright eyes were suddenly shrouded in mist. Actually, he intends to ask for his salary this month to be paid first so that it can be used to rent new boarding houses. However, the news that had just been delivered by the man made him shocked so difficult to express the things he wanted to convey. The plan to work at the coffee shop was just a joke. Although Shohei's partner will still need an assistant, it is certainly very painful to see the person he likes with other women every day.
This sad feeling .. I don't know for sure. Is it because I don't work with her anymore, or because she's going to live with her boyfriend soon.
Currently, Rai was sitting in front of the four company officials who were about to test him.
"Matsui-san, honestly, we were impressed by your first interview. You have good communication and language skills, are confident, and are also the best graduate of University Today. Not to mention, you are superior in terms of appearance and physique. But there is one thing we want to make sure of. When checking your name, it turns out you have been sentenced to prison for possession and drug use."
"It's just a trap! The court has proven my innocence and acquitted me of all charges!" answer Rai quickly.
"Traps?" The compact testers are sound.
"Yes, right. I'm framed. The drugs are not mine and I am not a drug user either" Rai replied.
"Can you explain the chronology that occurred when you were framed and held in custody?" The man in the middle asked.
Rai was silent. His face suddenly stiffened. His fingers clenched tightly. His eyes did not blink, staring blankly one way. His mind flew at the heartbreaking events that had happened in his life. Where one by one the people closest to him betrayed him. His sister, his best friend, the woman he was crazy about, and the woman he loved. All betrayed behind him.
"Matsui-san?" call one of the testers after a few seconds wasted without a single word from Rai.
Rai woke up from his daydream. He looked down deeply as he said, "Sumimasen (sorry), I can't explain the incident."
Somehow he did not want to remember those times again, although the scene per scene is still clearly stuck in his memory. Too sick!
The examiners who were important people in the company looked at each other. They whispered, doing light deliberation in front of Rai who was still pensive.
The bespectacled man on the left side said, "Look, we don't care about you ever in prison. However, we consider your explanation saying that you were framed. It reduces judgment because we think you are too rash and lack of vigilance to be so easily framed. Keeping yourself alone can not be, let alone have to maintain the good name of the company later."
"Looking at your current age, it is also a matter of our consideration. Next year you will be thirty years of age where that age is considered not the productive age in our company. You may soon get married and have a family so that you will often take time off," continued another examiner.
Rai nodded, accepting the reason for the company's rejection of him.
After cleaning up Shohei's house, Yuriko leaned against the bus stop while contacting one of her friends. The plan was to ask for a ride home. Unfortunately, the friend he contacted did not receive his phone call. He also called his other friend.
"Can I stay in your apartment for a month? My apartment is being renovated." Yuriko reasoned.
"Gomen, Yuri-chan, I've moved into my boyfriend's apartment. Why don't you rent another apartment for a while? Or you can stay at a hotel" said his friend.
"Ah, right too, yes! Why don't I think about it!" Yuriko gave a stupid grin.
The girl snorted, then tried to contact her other friend. He tried to explain back what he had experienced to his friend.
"Gomen, Yuri-chan, I'm now on holiday in Bali" said a friend he had just called.
"Oh, sokka."
Yuriko called her last friend and asked for a ride back.
"Em .. Look at Yuri-chan, if you only stay for a day I don't mind. But if for a month, it doesn't seem like it could be because my boyfriend stays every week. Not to mention, my mother sometimes comes to visit. Sorry, huh?"
Again, he was rejected by his friend. None of them would help him. They are all his closest friends.
During the day, Yuriko decides to return to Rai's apartment. Yes, how else, only Rai is willing to give him a ride. Moreover, he had just seen his room had been filled by new residents.
"Okayeri! (Welcome back)." Rai greeted warmly as soon as Yuriko opened the door.
"Tadaima (i go home)," said Yuriko weakly. He saw Rai who was dabbling in the kitchen with an apron wrapped around his body. "You're not going to work, are you?" tanyanya. Although they had been neighbors before, he had never paid any attention to the man's life. Including his daily activities because he really does not care about the lives of others.
"I told you my place of work is flexible. I just need to wait for his call, and work according to his orders and instructions!" said Rai casually.
"What job is it. Don't you be a hit man!" ketus Yuriko in a joking tone.
"Just kid! It's a job that's related to justice."
"Huh? Of justice? Are you a judge?" Yuriko chuckled, then said with a cynical look. "Justice is like a myth that many people believe, but it doesn't necessarily really exist."
Rai chooses not to continue the discussion so that Yuriko does not suspect. The man sifted through the freshly cooked udon noodles and served them on the dinner table.
"Woah, lunch of udon noodles at the end of winter is delicious!" Yuriko immediately approached the table with an enthusiastic-looking face.
"It's a pity there's no beer!" Rai's ruffled waist.
"Then I'll get a beer!"
Rai pulled Yuriko's arm. "Let me buy it. You wait here! Oh, yes, I have emptied the shelf on the left. You can put your things there," Rai said pointing to a Japanese wardrobe with a sliding door.
"But I'm just hitching a ride here for a while!" Again, Yuriko refused. However, the man ignored his reply.
Rai directly out of the apartment to the nearest minimarket. Meanwhile, Yuriko began to organize her belongings and put her clothes on the shelf. That big enough cupboard, now filled with both of their clothes. His eyes went around, watching the room carefully. It turned out that the room was very neat and clean in contrast to the room that was a little messy.
Yuriko closed the closet door after she finished putting her things away. Suddenly his eyes were fixed on the door of the next closet filled with Rai's clothes. The door, which was not tightly closed, slightly showed the branded backpack he had dreamed of.
Yuriko shifted the closet door to look at the backpack more clearly.
He's got a backpack this good? Was he a climber?
When Yuriko pulled the backpack, an object suddenly fell to the floor.
"Eh, what is it?" Yuriko looked down and lowered her head to pick up the object. "Mask? Very cool mask!"
Yuriko noticed the details of the mask, then tried to put it on her face. Just for a moment, he immediately opened it and turned his gaze to the backpack earlier. Apparently, the mask had fallen out of an open backpack.
When he was about to put the mask back in the bag, his attention was distracted by the contents of the bag. He found several tools such as rope and hooks, earpieces, vlog cameras and hand tripods, eavesdroppers, and advanced digital watches equipped with GPS features, voice recorders, and more, access call and send messages.
"Subarashii! he had advanced items like this! It's like a secret agent!"
(Subarashi\=remarkable, great, spectacular)
Yuriko took back the mask. "This mask is like no stranger. Where have I seen people wearing masks like this, huh?" His eyebrows suddenly curl because trying to remember.
The next second, the girl's eyes grew bigger when she remembered the figure of Black Shadow who always appeared with a similar mask. He immediately took his phone, looking for a picture of Black Shadow on the internet to match the mask. It's exactly the same!
