"U_413?" Chisa looks at the profile of the gamer who was discovered in the compet.i.tion at H island . There is no picture or name . She stares at her secretary . "Is that all you have?"

"There is no enough information about her . Our biggest opponent is interested in recruiting her for their team . They weren't able to find out her ident.i.ty . She appeared out of nowhere and went away like a storm . " Secretary Morikawa places another file in front of her . "They threw bait to her . They sent an invitation to her to take part in the 6-monthly tournament . It's a one-day tournament . If she wins, they will try to recruit her . I have looked into the names of the registered gamers . She is going to take part tomorrow . "

She skims through the list of the partic.i.p.ants until she finds U_413 . "If she makes it to the final round, approach her . Do anything it takes to lure her to our side . We need people if we want to partic.i.p.ate in the world champions.h.i.+p . By the way, have you been keeping eye on Kiyohira? It's been quiet recently . "

Morikawa begins his report . "He is still looking for the person behind Takeuchi Miwako . He met with her ex-husband and family members . They didn't know anything either . He got hold on to the list of cla.s.smates of Takeuchi Rie . Your stepfather has already removed your name from the school records . Currently, he is looking for each cla.s.smate and talking to them personally . But, they have never seen anyone other than Takeuchi Miwako with Takeuchi Rie . I am sure that he can't find anything . "

There is no flaw in her past except for Takeuchi Rie . Takeuchi Rie is already dead . She is sure that Kamiyama Kiyohira will get tired of the search and give up soon . She wants to see how long he will take .

Morikawa watches his boss smiling with satisfaction . Her mood is good today . "Your father called . He wanted to discuss something with you . "

She sneers at him . "What does he want now?"

"He didn't tell me . "

He probably wants to discuss her engagement . She has visited Kamiyama Mansion regularly . Kamiyama Kiyohira doesn't live there anymore . His grandmother has a.s.sured her that Kiyohira will marry her for sure . Her father is pressuring her to do anything to hook Kiyohira to her . But, that man treats her like air . In the last two years, he didn't answer a single call or text .

He's chasing her tail though . He keeps looking for the person behind Miwako . He might ignore her as his fiancee, but he has been chasing her invisible tail around . Keep doing that, Kiyohira . In one way or another, he's going for her .

When he gives up, she will be there to pick him up .

The picture of a teenage girl kneeling in front of a pair of shoes is lying on the table . Her face is visible, but the bully's face is not taken .

"Miwako didn't know that I had it . " The woman is Rie's middle school cla.s.smate . "I was absent when the picture was circulated in the cla.s.sroom . She took away the pictures from all the cla.s.smates who were present that day . When I came back, it was lying inside my desk . I took it home and forgot about it . I didn't know that I had it until you asked me about the picture . "

Takeuchi Miwako couldn't erase everything . Kiyohira stares at the girl . Rie . She suffered a lot .

"Who took this picture?" He asks the woman .

"Back then, there was a student who liked taking secret photos . n.o.body knows who that person was . " She has a look of disgust . "I am sure that it was a pervert . He liked taking pictures of girls . He stopped when we were in year two . I think he was a senior who graduated . That explains why it stopped after year 2 . "

A pervert who liked taking secret photos . If it stopped in the second year of middle school, that boy should be two years older .

"In this picture, the girl with those shoes . . . do you suspect anyone?" He points at the shoes in the picture .

"It's been a long time . " She frowns . "I can't remember . It was always Miwako who seek Rie . I can't think of anyone else who could make her do this . She rarely came to school . When she did come, Miwako would seek her out . "

It's not Miwako though . He knows that for sure . Rie wasn't afraid of Miwako when she met her at the hospital . It's someone else . That person behind Miwako is extremely smart . When he investigated Miwako deeply, he found her involvement in a secret female club where powerful women went to play . Miwako's villa was used as a secret playhouse . She acted as a host who provided different services to these women .

"Back then, there was a rumor that the photographer was Ueki Akahito . " She says with an unsure voice . "He was a photographer for the school magazine . He was two years older than us . There was one more boy . Ichikawa Toru . He was one year older than us . He was caught peeking at girl's changing room when we were in year 2 . They found some perverted pictures in his bag . He was restricted from school . The photographer could be someone else . I hope it helps . "

Kiyohira takes the photo and leaves . If he finds that photographer, he can find out who that person was . Ueki Akahito . Ichikawa Toru . He is close .

"Are you sure?" Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro asks her daughter again . "I don't think that this is the right way . I can help you remember if you come with me . "

He has been trying to convince his daughter to quit the tournament and leave the city with him . She didn't change her mind even after hearing about her past . Now, she seems more adamant about taking part .

She wears a cat mask to hide her face and wears a green wig . She is dressed in a rainbow dress and high purple boots . Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro feels dizzy by all the bright colors on his daughter . She looks an eccentric cosplayer .

"I won't reveal my face easily . " She tells her father, "I am not an idiot . I will use this time to find out that person on my own . When I meet that person, I am going to beat her until she asks for forgiveness . "

"But . . . " At times like this, he has a hard time understanding his daughter . "Why do you not want Ren and Kiyohira to know that you know about your past?"

She lowers her cat mask . "It's better if n.o.body knows that U_413 is Umezaki Rie . I have a feeling that my enemy knows them both . That person might be keeping an eye on them . I also want to take this chance to observe them . "

Observe them for what? Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro wants to ask . There is a knock . Yuhara Kozue enters the room . "Who is this person dressed like a cartoon character?"

"You don't recognize your older sister?" Rie reveals her face . "Even you can't recognize me . My disguise is good . "

Yuhara Kozue looks at her from the top to bottom . "Professor, has she gone mad?"

"I don't know about her, but I am going mad . " Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro sits on the couch with frustration . "Yuhara, wear a disguise and stay beside her . You can't let Kiyohira recognize you . "

Yuhara Kozue figures out the meaning of Professor's words . It means that they aren't leaving T city . This girl is going to take part in the tournament . Why hide from Kiyohira though?

"Come, I will help you with your disguise . " Rie grins at him .

"Professor, please send me away . I would rather write my thesis than become a cartoon character . "
