The next day, after all that have happened yesterday.
Shinji, Hurry up! We need to go to the school, We can't afford to be late again because of your antics. Arata commands coldly.
Alright, GEEZ! Coming! Shinji rans after Arata.
While they are on their way to school, Arata felt a presence from behind.
Seems like we are being followed...Arata whispered to Shinji calmly.
What? Where? Who? Shinji asks genuinely concerned.
Shut it, they might here you. We can't let them know that we are already aware of their presence...Arata commands coldly, adjusting his glasses Maybe this was it...Since this is one of Takahiro's deals with that big oaf in order for him to help in the investigation of us, The third condition you remember? Arata whispered to Shinji cautiously to avoid being heard.
Of course, I know...I was the one who was there not you! Shinji whispered back, feigning annoyance Is that the investigator that they have sent for us? More like a spy to me...Shinji lets out a sigh.
Let's try something...To see if we really are being followed or not. Arata adjusts his glasses.
What are we going to do? Shinji said, His tone laced with anxiety and excitement.
We are going to the opposite way than our usual route to school, we are going to enter that corner... That's one of the shortcuts I that know Arata points his finger to the location and if he do followed us there that means he is spying on us. Arata adjusts his glasses.
The two proceeds to walk in that "shortcut", when they turn right the person also turned right in the same corner.
God, so he really is into us then...Shinji said feigning innocence.
Arata stops on his tracks and turns around to face the mysterious person.
You can come out now Arata said coldly And you better be Arata adjusts his glasses.
The figure who's following the finally emeges and decided to show themself.
State your true identity and intentions, Otherwise- Before Arata could finish, Shinji cuts him off.
Uhm, could you please introduce yourself to us! Shinji said with a bright smile and cheerful tone, then he turned to Arata Calm down, let me do the talking for now...We almost got got because of you, are you planning to threaten them earlier. Shinji whispered to Arata, feigning annoyance.
Shut up, just do your thing...Arata looks away, adjusting his glasses.
I am Officer Natsuki of MPD, I was task here to the both of you...Officer Natsuki clears her throat In case, something bad happen.
Hehe, so you're a She not a He.Shinji scartches his head, his tone playful.
Elaborate, what could be this "something bad" you are talking about. Arata said coldly.
The bombing caused by the two teenagers that is. Officer Natsuki said, her face turning more serious.
What are you trying to imply? Arata asks coldly, his tone laced with annoyance.
I am implying that since you two are also teenagers, you are possible suspects as well...suspect behind the Harmony duo's mask, also the main reason is something personal. Officer Natsuki stated her tone shifts to a cold one.
"Damn you, Takahiro and your little stupid request! He hindered our plan completely this time! I won't let you, Takahiro...I have no choice but to postpone our second bombing attack until I got this woman off our tail." Arata adjusts his glasses appearing calm outside, but is already fuming in anger inside.
I see, well...you are free to go investigate the two of us. Arata said with a faint smile Let me just warn though...You will only waste your time on us instead of focusing on more important matters. Arata adjusts his glasses Let's go, we can't afford to be late. Arata calmly walks again to continue their walk to school.
I am sorry about that, Miss Officer! Shinji gives her a salute first then goes after Arata.
"Two distinct individuals, one as warm as the summer and the other is as cold as the winter. Arata, that kid indeed is smart something just feels off about that man." Officer Natsuki lights up her cigarette as she was left standing there thinking about the encounter.
Whatever happens, Just still calm and do not let your guard down.Arata whispered to Shinji We cannot afford to get caught now. Arata whispered to Shinji with conviction in his eyes.
I know...Chill out, Bro! Shinji responds sympathetically then chuckles.
For now, We will cancel our second bombing plan. Arata adjusts his glasses We will immediately execute the plan once we have dealt with this investigator. Arata whispered coldly Also, do not talk about the plan while in public even at home.
What? Even at home? What do you mean? Shinji akss completely confused.
I have a feeling right now that while we are walking here, they have started to secretly connect surveillance cameras near our apartment building and apartment room also I am sure that they are planting some kind of wiretapping device in our apartment room right now. Arata said coldly with a hint of annoyance.
Oh, shit...seems like we are in a lot of trouble. Shinji worries but also feels exhilarated It worries me but...at least things are starting to get to the fun part...Shinji whispered with a arrogant smirk.
We are not allowed to talk about the plan anywhere except in our phone we can still text each other. For now, Let's act like normal teenage brothers while I am still devicing a plan to get rid of the vermin. Arata commands Arata coldly Be careful, Bro...Arata looks away.
Quite a tsundere, aren't you? Shinji chuckles Fine, I guess.
They finally arrived at the school gates.
Just act like your usual... I am pretty sure, someone is disguising themselves as a staff or student here. Arata adjusts his glasses Damn you, Takahiro. He remains calm outside yet inside he is insanely furious.
Let's Go! Go! Go! Shinji runs inside the school gates with his usual cheerful.
Hey, wait- Arata just lets out a frustrated sigh and rans after him.
"I didn't expect them to start watching and investigating already. Fine, Takahiro...You win this time...I have to admit that I've underestimated you too, but I will make sure that your efforts will go to waste. It's not the time yet...So i am not going to lose myself, It's not the right time for that to happen. That is still reserved for the grand finale." Arata thinks for himself whiel running in the hallway along with Shinji.
We're here! Just in time! Shinji said while still grasping for air.
I immediately open the door and entered the room after I bow politely as a symbol of respect, and then proceeds to go to our seat.
After a little while, Shinji sats down in his seat as well next to me.
Remember my warnings and what I have told you, alright? Arata whispered as he composed himself.
Shinji just nods.
At exactly 8:00 A.M, Takahiro entered the room to teach his subject.
Good morning. Takahiro greets the students with usual stern expression, his gaze suddenly falls to Arata.
"You damn bastard, Takahiro..." Arata taught to himself as he engage in an intense eye to eye contact with Takahiro, Keeping his calm and collected facade outside but he is already frustrated and annoyed inside of him.
"The time will soon come my worries will finally be cleared, This sense of foreboding I have been feeling from the two of you since our first meeting yesterday still bugs me. I am sorry, But this is the only way...And I do hope that you two are not those insane teenagers who just bombed two places in one day and declared a war in this country." Takahiro taught to himself maintaining is stern expression and engaging an intense eye contact with Arata.
