Later that night, Takahiro and Superintendent Kuriyama met again at YamaSushi restaurant.
Takahiro, how have you been this entire day? Superintendent Kuriyama asks taking a bite on his sushi.
I don't know...I can't seem to comprehend what is happening anymore. This case...so far was weaved by two genius individuals, I can't still believe that those two are just young teenagers. Takahiro said calmly yet frustration evident on his face.
How about your suspicions about Arata and Shinji? Superintendent Kuriyama asks.
I don't know either, I am still not feeling good around those two. But, after what happened today it only implies that they are really innocent. Takahiro said calmly, scratching his head.
You should definitely focus on the bigger picture now Superintendent Kuriyama clears his throat What I am saying is...you should definitely drop the surveillance on those two. Superintendent Kuriyama said with genuine concern.
That...I still want to observe them. Give me 3 more days, Kuriyama...After that if they didn't do anything suspicious, I will call of their surveillance and start a large-scale investigation. You are right, I should look at the bigger picture now. But, whatever happens I won't take my eyes off those two whenever I have the chance to observe them myself. Takahiro said coldly, letting out a sigh of defeat.
Finally, it's clear to you that those two are not the ones we are chasing. Superintendent Kuriyama lets out a sigh of relief.
"I still can't believe everything that has happened today, maybe Kuriyama is right...I should stop ny insistent about those two but, just to make sure I will still keep an eye on them every time I get a chance. I still don't feel good about those two..." Takahiro taught to himself as he took a bite of his sushi.
After 3 days, Arata and Shinji finally broke free from the shackles of investigation.
Sakurazaka Highschool Hallway...
Whew! So happy to have some freedom again! Shinji said completely happy about the situation You really pulled us out of the depths with that "Someone that doesn't exist" Strategy of yours! Shinji said sarcastically followed by a chuckle.
Shut up, someone might here you we are at school. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.
Takahiro and the brothers crosses paths.
"You are clear...FOR NOW." Takahiro taught to himself, he closed his eyes.
"I know it's just temporary but, Takahiro, I win. You might have surprised and outsmarted me in the first half but look who comes out victorious." Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses.
"Whew! This too really has beef on each other." Shinji taught to himself, putting his hands inside his pockets.
They both walked pass each other.
I have requested a day off at work, so later after school the two of us will plan for our third bombing plan. Arata whispered coldly, clearing his throat I mean the three of us...Arata scratches his head, looking away.
Hmmm...quite a tsundere, aren't you? Shinji said sarcastically So, you've finally decided to let Kaori join in our cause...well, thanks. Shinji said blushing and looks away.
Well, she proves her worth and usefulness. So, I have no other reasons to turn her down and having someone who has connection from the authorities will benefit us in our execution. Arata whispered coldly.
In the corner of the hallway...
"So, it seems like Dad is also suspicious of them. Those two, since that day...I have grown suspicious at them. Who are they really? And why do I felt a sense of familiarity between the two masked man in the video and them? That is the questions, But the main question is..."Are they really as innocent as they seem?"... Let's find out...I am still the Genius Former Senior Inspector turned Science and Mathematics teacher Takahiro's only child! I will help father uncover the truth." Haruko who is watching from a corner, taught to herself as she adjusts her glasses.
