Chapter 156 Miyuki and Eri

Miyuki and Eri

I looked hesitantly through the intercom. There stood a woman with morbidly white skin and vacant eyes.

I recognized her face; she was a girl in the third grade. Kondo-senpai told me that she was his ex-girlfriend. Why is she here? How did she know where I live? I feel scared…

[Please open the door! I need to talk to you about Kondo-kun! Please open the door! Hey! You thieving cat! Open the door! You stole him from me! Why did he choose you instead of me, the one who gave him everything? Open the door!]

I feel fear. She bangs loudly on the door.

“Please stop, I’m scared…”

I could barely get my voice over the intercom. In response to my voice, she collapses in front of the door, crying.

[You are the same. Just like me. I heard that you betrayed your childhood friend and ran to Kondo-kun. Just like me. Just like me. …No. You are different. You did worse than me. You deliberately made false accusations against your precious childhood friend and provoked people to b🬀lly him. You are a demon, demon, demon, demon, demon, demon…]

She kept banging loudly on the door, and said the same thing over and over again…

[I always hated you! I always resented you because you were the one he favored, not me who gave him everything, but you who just showed up. I always wondered why you? But then I found out. I understood everything…]

When I heard the way she was talking, I was curious about what she was going to say.

“What did you find out?”

Hearing these words, she laughed eerily.

[Ha ha ha. You are just like me. Just like me; we’re just being played. Ha ha ha, silly, right? We’re just toys. We’re just toys to be thrown away when they get bored. The scriptwriter decided everything…]

“Scriptwriter? What are you talking about?”

[You don’t know? Ha ha, it’s okay for now. You’ll find out soon enough. The burden of guilt for what you’ve done will only get worse as time goes on. Your heart will slowly be torn out of you, and you will continue to suffer as you realize that you are in a place from which you cannot return, even if you want to. Watch carefully. Watch carefully our miserable end. Scriptwriter, I will take my revenge on you…]

A heavy silence falls. She took a breath, got up, and left. Without saying a word.

“Wait…”

Without thinking, I opened the door and tried to reach her, but I didn’t make it in time. Some women from the neighborhood looked at me with strange eyes. They were mumbling something, but it looked like they were mocking me, so I quickly ran into the house.

Ai’s PoV

After returning home from school, I checked the report Kuroi had compiled for me.

As I thought, Kondo and Manager Tachibana were connected.

“Kuroi. What’s Ikenobu-san’s condition? I think she’s mentally cornered.”

“That has already been taken care of. We are watching her closely. She seems to have made contact with Amada Miyuki recently…”

I read that in the report as well. I can’t help but think that she’s blinded by revenge. But if Kuroi says that she’s taken care of, then there shouldn’t be a problem.

“Thank you, did you find out anything about the police investigation?”

Kuroi is a former policeman. He has a lot of contacts in different places.

“It seems that Councilor Kondo is keeping quiet. I hear that he is mentally cornered and makes incomprehensible statements. He also seems to be afraid of being assassinated…”

Who would do such a risky thing? I can’t help but sigh.

“Like the last time I saw him, he seems weak when it comes to defending himself… What about Kondo, his son?”

“There is something suspicious about the data on his phone, and experts are investigating it. There seems to be evidence of an attempt to erase traces by deleting the message history, and perhaps the suspicious part is…”

“Strong evidence that Kondo and Manager Tachibana are connected.”

Kuroi nodded slowly at my words.

“I have asked my old subordinate to contact me if he finds anything. I will contact Ojou-sama as soon as I have more information.”

“Thank you. Please do.”

Kuroi continues, looking uncomfortable.

“But, Ojou-sama. Are you sure? We are crossing a dangerous bridge… If your father finds out about our movements, he will…”

The mention of my father makes me jump.

“Yes, I know. But I’m ready. I’m ready to face my father.”

There is also the matter of my dearest Senpai. Sooner or later, I will have to face my father.

I will not run away anymore.
