10 PM .
Iori is looking at the childhood photos . There are a lot of pictures of her, Takes.h.i.+, and Haru . Takes.h.i.+ always fought with her over the smallest matter . Haru would be the mediator . Is it her fault that she could never imagine Takes.h.i.+ liking her? That aloof boy has never treated her like a girl . That"s why she was shocked that she was kissed by him .
Liking her? It felt like a prank .
One of the photographs catches her eyes . It"s the first day of middle school . Takes.h.i.+"s mother took this photo .
They are standing together in the new uniform . Takes.h.i.+ is looking to his right while she and Haru are gazing straight at the camera . She follows Takes.h.i.+"s gaze in the picture . She notices that his eyes are focussed on her reflection on the gla.s.s wall . The corners of his lips are slanted upward .
"It was that long . " She is using a magnifier to observe whether it"s a smile or sneer . "Why didn"t I . . . is he one of those guys who bully the girl they like? Seriously, Takes.h.i.+, are you an idiot? You treated me like I was an evil witch . "
Why did she stay as his friend though? Was she a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t who liked being bullied?
Her motivation was his brother . She liked visiting his house and getting energized after seeing his brother .
In any case, she shouldn"t have laughed when he confessed . That was heartless . It must have been difficult for him to confess finally . Wasn"t it the same for her regarding his brother? She didn"t even have the courage to confess .
The kiss keeps coming to her mind whenever she thinks of Takes.h.i.+ . It was her first kiss with a human male .
He has been ignoring her texts and calls for days . At university, he treats her silently . He only comes to sit with her when Haru is there .

"Did something happen todday?" Kiyohira asks Tsuchiya Tsumi .
Tsuchiya looks at the door . "She"s quieter than usual . She didn"t eat breakfast and lunch . "
"I see . " He steps inside the room . Dressed in black, Rie is sitting on the bed . She raises her head and smiles at him .
Sensing that something is wrong, he approaches her slowly, as if approaching a wild animal who might attack him at any moment .
Earlier, Chisa had said something that worried him . Then, Rie didn"t meet any outsider or get contacted by someone . Even if Chisa did something, it wouldn"t reach Rie .
Last night, it was not unusual because it was not the first time when she tried to seduce him . But she didn"t do anything else after eating dinner with him . She was too quiet . Then, she just slept and didn"t wake up until he left in the morning . He thought that she was upset about not doing it last night .
Confining Rie is one of the ways to prevent her from misunderstanding him . He"s doing it to find the missing piece . He doesn"t want Chisa to be left with a backup .
He doesn"t want to imagine what would happen if Chisa gets her hands on her? Only death can stop Chisa from coming from Rie . He will give her that after destroying Chisa just like Rie wants to ruin Chisa .

"Rie, what happened?" He takes her hands and smiles at her cordially .
"I finalized a few women who can become your second wife . "
Her voice is frosty, but eyes are laughing scornfully . Yesterday morning, she acted a little different . When he kissed her, there was something about the way she responded . He cups her face and presses his lips on hers again . She doesn"t respond or move . The cold laughter in her eyes isn"t gone .
"You can stop looking . " Why do all of his plans backfire miserably? He only wanted her to realize that she also had feelings for him . Instead, she is turning out like this . Are they really that hopeless? Will she never love him back?
"You want me to stop looking . " She smiles brightly . "You must have already chosen her . You should have told me already . I worked so hard to find the one . "
"You . " He pokes her temple . "You are the only suitable woman . I want you to be with me . There"s no one else who can take that place . "
She guffaws and rolls on the bed . "That"s the most hilarious joke that I heard in a while . "
"Rie . " He sighs . "Will you ever take me seriously?"
"Wait!" She raises her index finger . "There was another joke . What was it? Oh, yes! Another joke is me . I am the fool of the century . "
She"s speaking strangely . "You aren"t a fool . "
"Then, what I am?" She rolls on her side . "Kiyohira, answer me . "

"Umezaki Rie, the most beautiful woman in the world . " He pushes away the strands of hair from her face . "You are anything but a fool . "
"Anything but a fool?" She mumbles . "Kiyohira, you are a true businessman . "
"What does that mean?" He frowns at her .
She c.o.c.ks her head . "Kiyohira, do you love me?"
"You know that I do . "
"How much?"
"More than my life . "
"Then, can you give me your life if I ask?"
"Sure . " He grins at her . "Rest of my life is yours . "
The smile is gone from her lips . She watches him quietly . "This is what I meant . You have the ability to make anyone believe you . "
"If you believe me then, give me your heart in return . " He spreads his palm in front of her . "A true businessman always think of benefits . "
She places her hand in his hand quietly . "Your hand is warm . "
"Your hand is cold . " He frowns . He rubs her cold hand . "What were you doing before I came?"
"Thinking . " She blinks at him . "What were you doing before you came back?"
"I was . . . " He hesitates . He can"t tell her about Chisa . He"s meeting her . Though it takes every ounce of his energy not to butcher her at the spot, he bears with it because of his goal . Everything must be taken away from Chisa before she is taken down . "It was a business meeting . "
"You drank alcohol . " She takes her hand back and looks away . "It must be an important meeting . "
"I am preparing a present for you . " He plants a kiss on her forehead . "Though you might get mad at me in the future . "
"Mad at you?" She shakes her head slowly with an insane light in her eyes . "I will never get mad at you, Kiyohira . Nothing can make mad at you anymore . I won"t be surprised by anything anymore . "
"Really?" He creases his forehead . It sounds wrong . "I am sure that you will be surprised . You will also get mad at me . "
"We will see in the future . " She looks at him thoughtfully . "You can have dinner by yourself . Goodnight"
He has zero belief that she wouldn"t get mad at him . "I can"t let you sleep with an empty stomach . "
He hears her sigh . He can understand how she"s feeling . It"s only temporary . After a few days, she will understand the reason behind his actions .
