    • Episode 149: Yamazaki Dancing to the Tune

      Episode 149: Yamazaki Dancing to the Tune Cover
      by akacha 「You noticed!?」 Yamazaki bit the hook of Eri-san's acting, reacting with joy despite Yuzuha standing right next to him. He looked like he was genuinely thrilled to think he actually had a chance with her... he looked so happy. On the other hand, Yuzuha was just blinking blankly. 「Yes. I've never been this close to a man before, so I naturally thought... but you have a lover, don't you?」 Yamazaki didn't lose his composure yet. After hearing her out, he looked at Yuzuha next to…

      Episode 148: Implementation Cover
      by akacha 「Sorry to keep you waiting, Yamazaki-san.」 When I arrived at the meeting spot, Yamazaki was already there waiting at the designated area. As I got out of the car and called out to him, he flashed a perfect, practiced smile. I'd always thought he was unpleasant, but knowing his true nature makes him look even worse. 「No, I just got here myself.」 I scolded myself as I nearly rolled my eyes at his cliché response. For now, Eri, just act normal. 「Well, shall we head out?」 Just…

      Episode 147: Strategy Meeting, Part 2 Cover
      by akacha The strategy for Yamazaki was set. That just left Yuzuha... 「About Yuzuha, I'll tell you my thoughts first. I want her to see the exchange between us and Yamazaki with her own eyes.」 「So you're paying her back for what she did to Tachikawa-san?」 It was only natural for Natsumi-senpai to see it that way. I'm sure everyone else thought so too. Tachikawa-san's expression hardened slightly. 「Natsumi, let's listen to Kazunari-san until the end.」 Sara-san might've realized I…

      Episode 146: Strategy Meeting, Part 1 Cover
      by akacha 「Ahem... let me get us back on track and start over.」 Nishikawa-san began speaking to reset the mood. While everyone focused on her, we waited for her to continue. ...Though Sara-san didn't seem to have any intention of letting go of me. 「First, I'd like to hold our discussion regarding the Yamazaki investigation results and our response right here in the car. To be honest, the content of the report isn't exactly something we can talk about in the open.」 It might sound like an…

      Episode 145: The Usual Two Cover
      by akacha 「Hello, everyone!」 「Hello... Takanashi-kun, thanks for meeting us.」 The ones coming out of the station were Tachikawa-san and Hanako-san. Everyone was supposed to gather in front of the station today. Right now, it was me, Hayato, and Todo-san, but with the two of them joining, we were up to five. Sara-san and Natsumi-senpai live close by, so they're probably coming together. Todo-san and Tachikawa-san are doing a high-five as a greeting(?). Hanako-san walked right up to me,…

      Episode 144: Gathering Information Cover
      by akacha The day after I heard the story from Sara and the others. I decided it'd be better to dig up as much as I could on my own before I heard back from my father, so I contacted a secretary I have a personal relationship with. I talk about private stuff with this person, and since they know I loathe Yamazaki, it was easy to ask for help. When I told them I'd heard some nasty rumors from an acquaintance, they agreed to talk to the people in charge who have contact with Yamazaki's company. Two days…

      Episode 143: Karaoke as a Bonus Cover
      by akacha 「Hey Sara. I hate to rain on the parade, but what are you doing just naturally kissing him like that?」 「S-she's right! How can you just do that so naturally?! Aren't you embarrassed in front of everyone?!」 Natsumi-senpai and Nishikawa-san both spoke up. It felt so natural to me that I was nothing but happy, but it's true that everyone was watching. Hanako-san and Tachikawa-san were whispering something to Todo-san, and Hayato was giving his usual wry smile. 「? As long as it makes…
    • Episode 142: If We All Carry It Together

      Episode 142: If We All Carry It Together Cover
      by akacha 「So, since you’re asking about that, did something happen?」 Now, how should I tell Nishikawa-san? I could just tell her the truth, but when explaining things to someone who knows nothing, I’d have to start from the very beginning, including everything about me. 「Hmm... to explain it simply... I know! Sara, lend me your phone. Takanashi-kun, come over here for a sec.」 I guess it’s necessary to explain about me and Yamazaki. I should say it directly rather than leaving it to…

      Episode 141: Nishikawa Eri Cover
      by akacha 「The problem is how we're gonna corner Yamazaki. I've looked into a lot of things too, but I couldn't find anything that'd definitely work. Have you found anything?」 By the time I'd gotten used to Hanako-san's blunt tone, the conversation finally turned to the main topic. By the way, most of the talking up to this point was between me and Hanako-san, while everyone else just listened. 「I've basically just got a photo and some RAIN logs that might show Yamazaki has a connection to a…

      Episode 140: The Third Ally Cover
      by akacha 「Kazuma, how's it going with the Nishikawa girl?」 This line. It's like a broken record by now. I wonder if my old man even realizes he treats me like I'm just a tool or something. 「I'm making my move. But it's not going that well yet!」 The one my dad calls「the Nishikawa girl」... Nishikawa Eri-san, is the person I've positioned as my main target right now. She's different from the girls I've dealt with so far. She's a real-deal lady, and money or brand-name stuff doesn't work on…
