Aiko's heart was racing. From his tone, it sounded like there was someone outside. She wished she could turn and see, but her body was paralyzed."Strange, how exactly did you spot me?" A thick voice asked as a middle-aged man pushed the door open and walked in."Who are you, and why are you following me? Are you a cop?" Hisanaga asked, casually moving to stand behind Aiko.“You could say that, but I’m much higher-ranking than the average police officer. To be straightforward, I’m Chiyama Genjiro, head…-

Watching Masashi leave the dojo, Ogata asked, “Rumi, you seem close with Masashi. Is he a relative of yours?”“No, Senpai is someone very important to me, and also my lifelong goal.”“What? You… you’re pursuing him?” Ogata was so shocked he nearly dropped his jaw.Kazumi, standing nearby, couldn’t help but laugh; only she knew what Rumi truly meant by “goal.” But Rumi had no idea how much misunderstanding this could cause.“Yes.” Although Rumi felt the wording was a bit odd, she…

Sorry I'm late," Rumi bowed to the kendo club's instructor, Omura Kusaka, and another girl."No, you're not late at all. We're just early. Did you rest well last night?" Omura…

"Chang'an, did you inform Master about this?""I just told him," Chang'an replied, sipping his tea slowly."That bastard Donald King dared to have people watch us. Just wait until I get back and deal with him. Right now, Master wants to live a simple life, so we’ll have to be careful if we meet him. Although… this might be a good chance to get him back into action," Lei Li said with a mischievous grin."Do you really think Master wouldn’t know afterward?" Chang'an replied calmly."Heh, just kidding.…

Watching Kazumi’s back as she left, Masashi showed a warm smile. Since that day, Kazumi had grown increasingly attached to him. Her expressions had become more lively, and she would occasionally joke or act playful—though only in front of him. To others, she still appeared as cold as ever. But this was already a good start, and he believed that one day, she would open up like a normal girl, laughing freely."Oh, it seems you and your sister have a close relationship," said a voice from beside Masashi as…

Glancing around, she found herself in a spacious but empty hall filled with shabby furniture. Only a small energy-saving light cast a dim, pale glow over the room.Where am I? Wasn’t I sleeping at home? Aiko rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.After a moment, she was fully awake and, realizing she was alone in this vast hall, started to feel scared. She thought about…

When Masashi arrived at Aiko’s apartment on his motorcycle, he saw her three friends anxiously waiting by the door. As soon as they spotted him, they immediately surrounded him.“Have you called the police?” Masashi asked.“We did, but they said they can only start an investigation if she’s been missing for over 24 hours. They just told us to wait,” Murashima Mami said angrily.“Have you informed Aiko’s family?”“No, because we don’t know her parents’ contact information.”Masashi…
