That idiot! How could he do that? I told him to move . He went ahead and threw himself into prison .

I look for his phone number in my mails . He often sent me his number and hoped that I would call him . In one of the old mails, I find it .

[Rie?]

"How did you know that it's me?"

[I only gave this phone number to you . If it rang, I would know that it's from you . ]

"You piece of s.h.i.+t! Did you go to the dark side?"

[I might have, but why do you care?]

His tone is grumpy .

[You broke all ties between us . ]

[Why are you calling me? I heard that you ran away . Your picture is all over the media . They are treating you like a criminal who broke the contract and threw away the Kamiyama family's kindness . In other news channels, they are dissing the Kamiyama family for treating you wrong . ]

They are going that far to capture me . They are turning me into a criminal when I did nothing wrong .

"It's nothing to do with me . "

[Are you still in KA city?]

"a.s.shole! Are you spying on me?"

[Yes, all I can do is see you from afar since you won't even stay as my friend . I get it . I should pay for my sins . You should leave the city soon . Kamiyama Kiyohira will arrive in 15 minutes . ]

"He's late . I am already on the train . " I pause for a moment . I guess he is the only one I can still trust even after everything . I can't hate this person . "I don't know where I am going . "

[Leave the train at S city station . Keep your face hidden . I will take a flight there . From there, we will go to H island . Remember we promised to go there when we were in high school?]

He still remembers that . I decide to forgive this b.a.s.t.a.r.d .

"Don't think that I still love you . " I make myself clear . "If it's okay to remain as friends, meet me . If you get any wrong idea, I would slap you until you cry . "

[I am leaving now . I will arrive before you do . Don't get into trouble until then . ]

I hang up the phone and wonder if it's the right thing to meet Ren . I want to know the truth . If he is crazy enough to go to the dark guild to protect me, I will beat the c.r.a.p out of him . If he did this because he wanted a fugitive life, I will still beat the c.r.a.p out of him . How could he do that? I need to convince him to leave before he does something wrong .

She's not here .

"The guest checked out around 3 hours ago . " The hotel manager tells him, "She only stayed for an hour . "

"Do you know where she could have gone?" Kiyohira hopes that she is sightseeing in the same city .

"Sir, I have no idea . " Plenty of guests come and go . The hotel manager can't keep an eye on all of them . Kiyohira feels hopeless and powerless . Where could she go? Did she find out that he is coming? How would he find her? She could be sick . What if she pa.s.ses out again? She can't eat in public places . He is going crazy . It's dangerous for a single woman in an unknown city . She's driving him crazy .

"Sir, I heard you talking to the manager . " The guard comes to him . "Are you looking for a girl in an oversized hoodie and no luggage?"

"Yes, you remember her . " Kiyohira's becomes bright like the eyes of a traveler who saw the oasis in the desert .

"She seemed strange . So, I took notice . " The chatty guard pats the back of Kiyohira sympathetically . "She was asking about the nearest phone shop . "

"Where is the phone shop?"

15 minutes later -

"I can't reveal the personal information of our customer . " The phone seller didn't forget his customer who was dressed in an oversized hoodie . It's because he thought that she stole her brother's clothes . It seems that she stole her ex-boyfriend's clothes . In any case, he won't reveal a girl's phone number to her ex-boyfriend .

Kiyohira adds another thick layer on the layer of money .

The seller gulps . This is more than one day of sale . He shakes his head . It's about ethics . That girl must have changed her number because she wanted to get away from her ex-boyfriend .

Kiyohira adds three more thick layers . He will keep adding until this seller gives what he wants .

My phone suddenly rings . A spam call? Are spammers that fast these days? I only got this number a few hours ago . I don't pick up the phone .

The phone doesn't stop ringing . I wonder if I turn it off . Then, Ren might call . S city is two hours away .

"I don't want insurance or loan . " I yell at the caller, "Stop calling me . I am waiting for my friend's call . You are keeping the line busy . "

[Takeuchi . ]

Kamiyama?

[Where are you?]

"Aha! It's you . You already have my number . After branding me as a criminal on media for running away and breaking the contract, you still have the nerve to call me? This turned out good . Now, the whole world thinks that I am the one who kicked the Kamiyama family because I threw away all the goodies . That's good . The problem is finally solved . I am the bad guy . You are the good guy . But, you aren't satisfied . You want to see me rot inside the prison, right?"

[I didn't do that . I don't know how the contract was leaked . n.o.body knows about it other than . . . ]

"Who? Your Chisa? Your Mizutani? Your best friend Eichi? Your grandmother? Is it our younger brother Takes.h.i.+? Nah! Takes.h.i.+ is too young to come up with this kind of scheme . I don't care who did it . This is happening because of you . You made me sign that contract . Go ahead and sue me . I don't care . "

[Come back . ]

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d thinks that he can fool me .

"I will rather die than return to that h.e.l.l hole . "

[Takeuchi, it's fine if you hate me . You aren't allowed to leave me . Just stay put where you are and wait for me . I will find you soon . ]

This arrogant b.a.s.t.a.r.d thinks that I will listen to his c.r.a.p .

"You are something, Kamiyama . You don't want me to die because you want to torment me for life . You will never get that wish . You will never find me . "

I go to the washroom and flush the phone out .
