At YamaSushi restaurant, Shinji quietly eats his sushi while observing Takahiro and Superintendent Kuriyama in the corner.
The sushi here sure is good, I'll make sure to bring Arata here next time...He mutters to himself as he chew another sushi.
"Arata really is a genius, He predicted that the two will meet here and talk about something confidential...If only...Ten years ago...Tsk...maybe Arata...did not become a lost genius." Shinji taught to himself as he take another bite of sushi.
Oh, they're leaving...He watches Takahiro and Superintendent Kuriyama leave the restaurant Finally, I can eat in peace! One more plate at table number 4, please! He shouts his order cheerfully.
Shinji receives a call from Arata.
Shinji answers the phone.
How's things on your end? Arata asks calmly yet wary evident in his tone.
As you predicted, they really came and talk about something important. Shinji whispers to the phone as he took a bite in his sushi I am still surprised though, How did you know? Shinji asks, clearly eager to know.
Well, while I was taking out some trash outside the cafe earlier...I saw him talking with Takahiro through the phone, near the lightpost. So, I have decided to eavesdrop. Arata said calmly I only know that they are going to eat in a certain restaurant and talk about the case, The location isn't stated clearly because he send the location to Takahiro, So I have no choice but to guess...He is holding a plastic with two styrofoam inside, the plastic he is carrying has the logo of that sushi restaurant... Don't even ask why I know, Because when I was walking earlier to go to my part time workplace, I managed to take a glimpse of what it looks like that is why I immediately recorgnized it. Arata clears his throat Still, I didn't expect the location that I have given you to be accurate. Arata scratches his head.
Wow, That's very detailed and very smart of you Shinji whispers with a chuckles as he took another bite of his sushi.
Anyways, What did they talked about? Arata asks coldly.
Well, Kuriyama just shared to him about our handmade bombs...That was their top secret information Shinji chuckles Idiots, like we don't know that...And also, you are right about Takahiro...I mean, your warnings that we should be careful around him. Shinji clears his throat, his tone shifts from mocking to serious Takahiro, agrees to help in the investigation and he plans to get the two of us investigated as well...And it seems like Sir Takahiro is a former Senior Inspector in the MPD, I just heard it from that big oaf Kuriyama. Shinji took a bite in his sushi.
Arata's eyes widen about the information he have just received, but then a cold smirk appeared in his face.
So my suspicions are true, That bastard really is suspecting us of something...But, I didn't expect that he was a former member of MPD. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.
Yeah, that's new to me too. Shinji takes a bite on his sushi Anyways, Where are you now? It's 8:20 P.M already! Shinji asks genuine concern evident to his voice.
My shift ends at 9:00 P.M. Arata yawns Anyways, I have packed the two of us an iced coffee. Arata said coldly, Adjusting his glasses.
Really?! Is it my favorite flavor? Shinji enthusiastically asks.
Yeah, of course Arata coldly replies followed by a yawn You can roam around for now or go home and wait for me. Just make sure that if you chose to roam around, You will not let your guard down and you will go home as soon as possible once I have texted you. Arata commands Shinji coldly once you or I got home, we will start our planning right away for our next operation. Arata clears his throat Clear?
Oh, yeah! Fine, geez! Shinji said feigning annoyance but is really having fun and excited about the coffee.
Arata hangs up the phone call.
Just a minute after, Shinji finishes his food and exits the restaurant after paying. Right after he left, He immediately heard some gossiping about the bombing at the Kanagawa Central Mall that have just occurred today and caused by Him and Arata.
We sure did make a name for ourselves, Huh? Shinji mutters to himself, leaving a warm smile to his face Everything that we are trying to do and accomplish are for the greater good...Nothing else.
