At the same time, the action taking place from the other side – Ami, Miya, Yuto and Kize exited the train and headed to the shop for shopping on the night of Ryux’s birthday.
AMI
The first thing we need to do is go to Ueno for sushi, but the store closes in 15 minutes, we will have time to go in 3-4 minutes. I already managed to make an order on the train about half an hour ago, also with a small surcharge I was able to agree to pick up all the sets with us.
MIYA
Great, and then we’ll definitely go to the nearest 7-eleven store and stock up on the rest of the goods we need. This week I also managed to realize that tonight it will be possible to find a chic handmade «Sea smooth surface» cake. Yuto and Kize – you will carry all the food packages while we are rich today, we will buy the best and tastiest as much as possible so that for the next two-three days we will exist as wonderfully, beautifully and perfectly as never before.
As Miya talks about what she plans to buy at 7-eleven, Ami enters Ueno sushi and asks the staff for orders. Meanwhile, Yuto and Kize are watching her actions through the window.
YUTO
Got it, Miya, but while you’re talking we’re already waiting for Ami to ask the staff about sushi.
KIZE
Look! She’s already paid the price.
Ami goes to the restaurant’s exit door, opens it, and calls Yuto along with Kize to pick up the bags of sushi sets. Everyone left the building. It began to rain heavily, Ami and Miya opened their huge transparent umbrellas, and the four hurried to the 7-eleven store.
MIYA
Phew, such a rainy hail with huge drops makes me perplexed that the umbrellas have not yet been perforated…
AMI
Our men, please, take these umbrellas and wait for us outside the store.
Ami and Miya handed over their umbrellas and entered the 7-eleven store. From the window of the shop, Yuto, along with Kize, watching the actions of the ladies simultaneously while holding huge umbrellas a little conversation starts between them.
YUTO
Today is such a good day, regardless of the weather, I look out the window of the store and my heart is so free and calm…
From Yuto and Kize side can be seen Miya, who abruptly grabbed Ami’s hand and with surprised and happy face, points her index finger at a huge blue cake «Sea smooth surface» behind display case. Ami was stunned by the fact that she was abruptly dragged somewhere by Miya, but when realized, she laughed and hugged her. Inadvertently, both ladies looked out the window of the store and saw how their men were looking at them – they smiled at them and waved their hands. In response to their emotions, the men also smiled sweetly. After this moment, Miya calls the cashier and decides to buy a cake, and asks to leave it at cashier for 5 minutes, while holding a grocery list in hand, goes to another part of the store with Ami and collects other products that group needs.
KIZE
I agree with you, there is a festive mood on this street, so today is also the first day of the spring equinox! By the way, judging by the forecast for tomorrow – weather is beautiful and sunny.
On the other way, in the store a conversation is struck up between Ami and Miya.
AMI
I remembered that I wanted to ask you about what you wrote to me at the conference then. I also had the feeling that everything was somehow suspicious and the case might not be clean…
MIYA
Yes, other day I met a strange type, he ran out from behind the corner of the house and with his right cheek scratched as if from someone’s nails. He told me that there was only deceit everywhere and they wanted to set you up, I was terribly scared for my part, I thought to knock him down with a bag, but his eyes were drooping and I realized that he would not do me any harm, he had practically didn’t have any strength to do anything… He repeated the same words for 3 minutes, there was not a single person in the area, although it was a normal day, after which this person lost consciousness and I had to call an ambulance.
AMI
Have you been able to figure out who this person is?
MIYA
No, he was immediately taken away in an ambulance, I wanted to find him after he wakes up to ask him a couple of questions. Having asked brigade about which hospital they were taking him to, they told me the address, and it is advisable to come to this hospital tomorrow. Nonetheless, after I arrived and described that person, the man at the reception told me that such a person was not brought to them. I repeatedly asked about him, but there was no record of his arrival anywhere.
AMI
Did you end up finding out anything about him?
MIYA
I decided to continue searching, I had only one evidence that I was able to take a picture of this man when he was already unconscious. My familiar friend works at the police station, I told him about what happened and he agreed to help with this case. A day later, I received an answer, it turned out that this person worked as a professional cleaner in the Blue Avenue Building on certain floors, and I already thought that was all, I could find him in this city. To my regret, judging by database, this person migrated from the country, and it was no longer possible to find out exactly where.
AMI
Meanwhile, I’m still tormented by doubts about fact that someone can actually deceive us, maybe even this is connected with our mission, although in Blue Avenue Building, all employees and specialists in their fields of activity are time-tested and are under special control. Mission itself is listed only for a limited circle of people, control of all actions was at the highest level, so we can conclude that any betrayals are unlikely…
MIYA
I think we need to leave it and put aside extraneous thoughts, anyway we can’t find any answers right now. If you took everything you need, then we go to the cashier, pay and leave, otherwise our guy’s are waiting for us…
After paying and leaving store, all four went home.
Accelerating and quickly walking to their cottage-villa, friend’s unpacked all products and put in the right places. Ami and Yuto walked a little further and noticed in the next room how Ryux and Nayu fell asleep. Miya abruptly ran up to them along with Kize. Ami quitly speaking SSHHHSH, made it clear that couple had fallen asleep… Miya covered her mouth with her hands in surprise and Kize almost laughed. A general decision was made and everyone went to bed until next day.
Chapter 4 – Feelings of gleeful moments and deepest disappointments
It’s morning, the alarm clock rings next to the sofa where Ryux sleeps. Turning off the alarm, and lying on the sofa a couple more minutes, he notices that Nayu is not in the room. Then he gets up, dresses and leaves that room. Ryux sees that everyone in the other rooms is still asleep. After going through main hall to kitchen, he meets Nayu, who is cooking something from some huge recipe book.
NAYU
I see you’re already awake…
RYUX
How delicious it smells… Like baked apples!
Are you baking something?
NAYU
For now, I won’t tell you anything, just yesterday I noticed that after 2 houses from us there is a separate area of common trash bins, so be kind – take out these three bags of garbage. Go ahead and to the right through two houses.
