What was this atmosphere, all speechless without anyone saying anything a word, all just looking at Ayame who was sitting arrogantly while smoking with Hana standing behind her. The dinner with my colleagues was a mess, the food at the table was whole, nobody was eating.
“Wah why on the dumbass so, let's eat....” Ayame opened the conversation.
“Mr Lie fong, Miss Karen, Mr. Joo won, please excuse me, my sister came to arrive, maybe for tonight we end first, I'm really sorry for her insecurities.” I stood up and spoke in English, I bowed before my foreign guests.
“Alright, I understand Mr. Masamune, no need to think about it, I understand very well, our deal goes on. All right, I'll excuse you.” Lie fong stood up and shook my hand then came out along with his interpreter.
“Just like Mr. Lie fong, I'm fine Mr. Masamune, take it easy, your investment in our company and our cooperation agreement remains. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll invite you to Seoul for a vacation there. Thank you Mr. Masamune.” Joo won shook my hand and then walked out.
“Thank you Mr. Masamune, no need to hesitate with me, regarding our conversation before his will still run, we will run, for his official later from the company I will send a contract of cooperation and for your investment as a shareholder. Excuse me first Mr. Masamune, thank you for the hospitality and the food. See you soon.” Karen shook my hand and then came out.
After the three of them came out, I sat back down and Hikari sat down next to me. We're both facing Ayame who's sitting right across the street and Hana standing behind her.
“Well now the bullies are out, what do you want to talk about ?” Ask Ayame.
“You're still with him onii chan?” Ayame asked as she pointed at Hikari using her cigarette.
“Of course, she is now officially my wife, by the way where is your husband ?” Ask me.
“Wah he is having his own business, I deliberately came here to see you.” Ayame replied coldly and smiled.
“Alright, I get it, nice to meet you Ayame chan.” I returned Ayame's cold smile with a smile as well.
Back to silence, the room was quiet again, there were guests next to the room we were partying, the atmosphere returned awkward. Ayame continued to stare at Hikari who was now staring back without speaking a word. Oi oi why your target is always Hikari, are you still vengeful because I chose Hikari, you are married also by your choice.
“Then why not go home all this time ? I really thought you were dead onii chan.” Ayame.
Of course I kept quiet, I couldn't answer Ayame's question, because the reason I didn't come home was because I already knew what had really happened in her previous life. But I remember why I left Ayame back then,
“Because you want to kill Hikari Answer me.
“I told you already, I have no such intention...” Ayame.
“With lunch with the killer and then the killer came back to the apartment Add me before Ayame finishes her reasoning.
Ayame instantly fell silent, she simply pulled out her cigarette and removed her sunglasses. He took a deep breath and then looked at me again,
“So just because of that woman, you betrayed the family, betrayed me and now you use the family treasure for your own glory.” Ayame was angry.
“Before a while, you said I was a traitor ? let me make it clear that you understand, first, I am indeed not the original Odasiga family, second, you betrayed me by wanting to kill Hikari by sending assassins to school, third, third, all the businesses I ran 4 years ago, there's been a division for Odasiga. You remember how I split it first. So if I may say, I'm not the traitor. Unless you want to move our family to osaka.” I said casually.
Hearing my words, Ayame immediately fell silent, her face looked very furious, of course, because what I said was true, all this happened since she was close to Naoto kun right, she said, before her there was no problem, Hikari also would not tell the truth if Ayame did not change. Yes, by looking at her reaction I understand, the one who sent the killer to the apartment to kill Hikari back then was Ayame for the help of Sakuragi whom she had already silenced and if I were to expose her here, then it would be Ayame, it was certain that Hana would slash the neck of Ayame sitting in front of her. Hana who saw Ayame angry, started to stand by, saw Hana moving of course Hikari who was sitting next to me also moved. But Ayame raised her hand and stopped Hana. Hikari also regained her composure sitting beside me. But Ayame was still silent and didn't say anything, I started her.
“Why are you silent Ayame, what say I can't you refute ?” Ask me, I challenge him.
“Well onii chan, you won, right, I held a grudge with Hikari chan and I asked that he be killed, I don't want you to go from my side onii chan, I don't want you to go, but you prefer him over me. Don't think it's all over now onii chan, it's just now starting, you're ready onii chan.” Said Ayame who had come back cold.
“Yes, I'm waiting. Oh greetings also to Shizuka chan.” I answered Ayame's challenge.
“Haha, well, I say your regards, goodbye onii chan, our next meeting, me or you are dead.” Ayame stood up and turned around, she directly came out with Hana and slammed her door.
I breathed a sigh of relief, quite frankly, I kept holding my kunai under the table, Ayame I'm not worried about, but the person behind her and the one in the room next to us. Ayame came not alone, I heard the faint faint voice of Shizuka next door, that was the reason why I gave haha a greeting. Finally the war started, Ayame already declared it and I will answer it with all my heart. What revenge did Ayame have on Hikari until he sent the killer to kill her first, what was just jealousy, I don't think, there must be other things that I don't know yet, I don't think, I looked at Hikari.
“Hichan, can you tell me what happened to you and Ayame, why she got such a grudge, a time just because of jealousy, I think bigger than that.”
“To be honest I don't understand either, but there's one thing that makes me weird, remember not when I just moved into the apartment and took off my disguise when I was a sensei, in the room Ayame asked a strange question that I did not want to answer.” Mumbles Hikari.
“Hmm honestly I forgot, but it feels like you did have a serious conversation with Ayame..” Reply me.
“Yes, he asked like this, why did you first prevent me from approaching Masa kun. Hearing that question I was confused, because I felt that I never prevented anything in this life. But indeed I once prevented him from approaching you when we were in college in his previous life, the reason is because you have started dating your future wife who is still in class 3 high school.” Reply Hikari.
“Awhile, in the past life, you know Ayame ?” Ask me.
“No, I have only met him once, when preventing him from approaching you, that time he just returned from abroad.” Answer Hikari.
I immediately thought, could it be that Ayame is also repeating this life. I started to think hard, the beginning of my meeting with Ayame when she was 8 years old, Ayame unhesitatingly came up to me and pulled me out, he also stroked my head like he always did in the past if I was sad because of the bully or because of anything else and after 7 years apart, although not infrequently he also looked at me with jisan when I was in the village, he was not separated from my side at all, even had time to be jealous of Haruka. But the strange thing was, why could she know that Hikari was Misaki in her previous life and immediately invite her to speak even asking such a strange thing. My head feels like it's about to break, my mind can't digest it. Never mind, now that Ayame has declared war on me, this is the only thing I am focused on now. I have to be ready to welcome him.

A week later, I received a letter from Karen's company in California, the letter was a contract of cooperation and an endorsement of capital investment in the form of shares attached with her cooperation contract. After signing her, I asked my secretary to send her contract back to Karen who had returned to America. Then I prepared to go to seoul to meet company leader Joo won along with Hikari.
“Bocchan, now that I have to leave, I will take care of the office as long as you leave for 3 days.” Manabu reminded.
“Good, Manabu san, I went home first to pick up Hikari and go straight to the airport.”
I stood up and walked out of the room. Long story short, once we got home, Hikari was ready and we headed straight to the airport.
“Eh Ma kun, we want to contact Keiko nee san ga ? They're there, right?” Ask Hikari who is sitting next to me.
“I don't think Hichan, after all Keiko nee san is taking aniki for a vacation also in another city, he only told us two days ago right, right, so it's free if we go to his place later. I don't want to bother them.”
“Oh yes, two days ago she called us and informed us that she is now pregnant hehe.”
“True, so do not disturb them, yes ga, just consider us to korea honeymoon haha.”
“Hehe is right Ma kun, we have not honeymoon yes...”.
Suddenly the car stopped suddenly, I immediately looked out, it turns out we have been surrounded by ganster troops. Their van's coming at our car and we're surrounded by motorcycles. Without further ado, they immediately shot at us with their rifles. I immediately pulled Hikari down and took cover, I already did not know the fate of my car driver. When the shots stopped, I turned to Hikari and nodded, the two of us directly kicked the car door and jumped out. While jumping, the two of us immediately threw smoke bombs and shuriken to kill the gangsters. Since all the people who surrounded us could not see, Hikari and I finished them off one by one quietly and without a sound until there was nothing left. After everything fell down, I examined the body of a gangster, I saw that guy wearing the same mask as when my school was attacked and like a jisan used to be attacked.
“This mask again.....Kirishima.” My word.
“Yes right, Ayame used them to finish us off.” Added Hikari.
“The question is why he knows we're going this way, just like a week ago, why he knows we're having a meeting, I think there's a traitor in us.” My word.
“True Ma kun, someone must have leaked.” Added Hikari.
“Alright, we go home, departure to Korea we delay a day or two.I will tell Joo won.” My word.
I called a taxi and walked back to the office. Arriving at the office I immediately contacted all gathered in the meeting room to hold a closed meeting. I also asked my secretary at the office to back off my appointment with the head of Joo won company in seoul. Let's find out who the traitor and the eye here is, other than Manabu and Youko there's nothing I can trust anymore. Without delaying any longer all ascended to the meeting room, which was outside instantly returned and went inside. After everyone had gathered, everyone in the room asked why they were gathered so suddenly like this. The person I suspected was Reiji, who asked and didn't seem to know what, but the person sitting next to him didn't ask and just pretended to be sleepy. Her attitude was also a little different to the others, looking she was a little worried and most importantly shocked to see me and Hikari. I whispered to Manabu to take the man to the next room and I briefed the others so they would not be suspicious. After everyone got out of the meeting room,
“Manabu san, bring that person in.” I hit the intercom on the big table in the meeting room.
Manabu brought the man in and told him to sit in front of me. Manabu and Youko nee san stood behind the man to prevent him from doing anything of the sort. I stood up and approached her, and then I put my face to hers.
“Shocked to see I'm alive...Todo senpai?” Ask me.
Todo's face immediately turned pale. He did not dare to look at me and Hikari who were standing in front of him.
