Who is Umezaki Rie?
I came to this city to find that out . I must have friends here . I don"t remember any friends though . Was I too hasty in coming here? Going to the tournament is the perk anyway . If I become famous, someone will appear from my past . I want to remember because there must be something or someone I cherished once .
Argh! My head hurts from overthinking . Since I have taken the decision, I will see to it till the end . Staying at the airport is a bad idea . Knowing my father, he is likely to take the first flight to T city .
I go to the tournament ground . I need to register . Then, I will figure out where I can stay .
"Name?" The girl with blue hair asks me with boring eyes .
"Umezaki Rie," I say quietly .
She stops writing . "Is that your gaming ID or real name?"
"Uh . . . real name?"
Isn"t it a good idea to become famous with my real name?
She frowns at me . "Tell me your gaming ID . You must have received an invitation because you won some local e-gaming compet.i.tion last time . "
Is she talking about the one at H island? That must be it .
"U_413 . "
She scribbles it on the paper and gives me an ID card . "Keep that safe . You can"t enter the compet.i.tion ground without that ID . The first round will commence tomorrow at 10 A . M . You will not be granted entry if you are 1 second late . The organizers of this tournament are strict about the timing . All the finalists will get some prize, but the winner will get an opportunity to play in the world champions.h.i.+p . "

It would be cool to get the world champions.h.i.+p . If I am famous worldwide, do I need to study? I don"t have to go to college and lead a mediocre life . I will be wors.h.i.+pped by all the gamers . After I retire, I will become a gamer coach .
That"s it . I have decided on my career .
"Why are you grinning like that?" The girl is irritated to see me . "Step aside . There are other people . "
"Ah . . . I am sorry . " I move away . The queue is long . My stomach growls .
"Hey, girl," I ask the one who is doing the registration . "Is there any good restaurant here?"
She exhales loudly . "You are not from around here, are you? Get an app on your phone and use it to find the nearest one . Don"t bother me . "
Hmm . I don"t have a phone .
I walk out of the place and walk straight for a while . T city is loud and crowdy . There are all sorts of people walking around .
What the h.e.l.l!
After walking for thirty minutes, I can"t find a single restaurant . My stomach can"t stop growling . I stop a cab .
"Where to?" The cab driver asks me .
I get inside the cab . "Take to a restaurant . "
"Which one?"

"The one that"s closest and sells the best food . "
The cab driver takes a turn and stops in front of a restaurant . "There, you go . "
"It was only ten steps away!" I slam my forehead . "Why did you not tell me that?"
"You should have asked for direction instead of getting inside my cab . " He rolls his eyes . "Don"t leave without paying me . "

Scammers! The worse part is that he"s not wrong . I pay him and get out of the cab .
I will fill my stomach and then, I will find a place to stay .

"Mmm . " Takoyaki from this restaurant is not bad . It"s not as good as the one I ate before . I take a sip of the wine . There is a paper wall between me and the other guests . I can hear their laughs and talks .
"The e-gaming registration is going well . I heard that hundreds of partic.i.p.ants came this year . "
"I hope that there are good ones this year . Last year"s winner didn"t perform well in the world champions.h.i.+p . "
"I hope that . E-gaming is currently in the rise . " A pause . "Re Games have invested a lot in e-games tournaments recently . I heard that they are training people for the world champions.h.i.+p?"
"It"s only been little more than two years since they started . They are still new in this business . It"s too early to take them seriously . "

"But, Re Games is a part of the Kamiyama groups . It"s directly being handled by the CEO . "
Kamiyama groups must be powerful and famous .
"Let"s wait and see . "
The conversation change to other business stuff . I didn"t understand half the things . It"s not good to listen to other people"s conversations anyway .
I finish my takoyaki and leave the restaurant . With a full stomach, the day seems brighter . I should roam the city before I go to a hotel .

Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro and Yuhara Kozue arrive in T city . The first thing that they do is to go to the tournament ground . They can"t see Rie there .
"Non-gamers are not entertained here . " The girl tells them sharply, "I won"t reveal any gamer"s ident.i.ty . "
"You just have to nod or shake your head . " Yuhara Kozue tries his best to keep his anger in his heart . "She"s not physically fine . It"s an emergency . Her name is Umezaki Rie . "
"Please . " Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro shows a picture of Rie . "If you have seen her, tell me . I am her father . "
The girl looks at the picture carefully . There have been hundreds of people . She can"t forget this one . It"s probably because of the name of the woman or her foolish grin . Both men look extremely worried and desperate .
"She came here around two hours ago . I don"t know where she went after this . She will probably come tomorrow at 10 A . M . I don"t know more . Leave now . "
Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro and Yuhara Kozue take a deep breath .
"Professor, where should we find her in this big city?"
"She will probably stay at a nearby hotel . Let"s begin from there . "

The car stops at the red light .
Kiyohira looks out the window . Nothing is interesting in the city . He wonders how Rie is doing now . It"s been a long time since he saw her . He decided to let her go that day because he desperately wanted her to live . When she woke up, she had no memories . It was good for her . It is better if she never remembers . Especially, him . It"s better to be forgotten than feared by the one he loves .
He wants to see her again . It"s a selfish wish . He knows that he will wish to see her again after seeing her once . His greedy heart will never be satisfied .
A small woman in a black sweater is walking on the sidewalk with excitement in her eyes . She has a childlike smile on her face .
He must be hallucinating .
He walks out of the car and runs toward the woman . She is already getting inside a cab . He opens his mouth to call out her name . Then, he stops .
If it"s her, he can"t come in front of her .
If it"s her, it"s better to leave her alone .
If it"s her, he can"t leave her alone in the city .
He gets back into his car . "Follow that cab . "
