Awakening

Sitting in the taxi, Take Asasei has mixed feelings.

She did not understand why she wanted to do this, knowing that there was no point in doing so. But, she still came.

“Miss, we’ve arrived at the movie theater.”

Take Asasei was awakened by the voice of the taxi driver. Looking out of the window, she discovered that she really has arrived.

After she got off and paid the fare, she looked at the front of the movie theater in a daze. Although she never watched a movie in this movie theater, this place was filled with too many bad memories.

Tokyo’s nightlife was very rich. Even now, when it was already past midnight, the lights from various shops continued to shine bright, making people feel that it was not late yet.

She slowly walked toward the restaurant next to the movie theater, wondering if the man was really there or not.

It was a great restaurant, with European-style fine decoration, which looked very fancy. Although it was late at night, the restaurant was still open for business, even though from the outside looking at the inside, there were not that many guests.

“Welcome. May I ask for how many people?” When Take Asasei walked in, a waitress came to greet her.

“Just one.” Take Asasei replied while sweeping her eyes toward the entire dining room from the corner where she stood.

“Please sit down.” The waitress took her to a nearby table.

“I want to sit inside.”

“Okay, please come with me.”

Walking closer and closer, Take Asasei’s heart beat faster. Finally, in one secluded corner, she saw a man in a suit sitting there.

He is still waiting for her. Take Asasei’s heart was filled with a trace of sour.

“I’ll just sit here.” Take Asasei pointed to a nearby table and said to the waitress.

After only ordering a cup of coffee, Take Asasei silently looked at the man sitting in a gloomy light waiting for someone.

After an indeterminate time, Take Asasei lifted the cup of coffee and took a sip, but found that the initially warm coffee has turned cold. This cold coffee tasted bitter than usual and difficult to swallow.

She then remembered that previously, she never drank coffee, but did not know when it began, she started to get used to this slightly bitter beverage; Perhaps she began to be influenced since she started living with her friend.

Thinking of this friend, Take Asasei could not help but smile. Kazumi was always so mature and calm. Perhaps only coffee, this kind of bitter drink, that was a better suit for her. Except in front of her strange brother, she always has a cool expression. She was not pretending to be aloof from bored arrogance, but rather she did not give a d*mn about other people’s opinion. Take Asasei has never met such a girl in her entire life.

Although Kazumi was cold and calm, she has her own unique temperament that can make all the people that came in contact with her unconsciously attracted to her. Perhaps, he was one of them.

Ever since she knew the truth, she always hated that man. Originally, she thought she could quickly forget him, but seeing him almost every day coming to the bookstore looking for Kazumi, her heart was unable to calm down. So much so that on hearing he wanted to wait for Kazumi here, she even foolishly came here to see if he was really here for Kazumi.

Ogata Yasuda did not know that there was a young woman staring at him quietly in the distance.

From eight o’clock in the morning to one o’clock past midnight, he already felt his whole body went numb. Unable to remember how many cups of coffee that he drank, only now he discovered that drinking too much coffee will become bitter.

That woman did not come. Actually, at that time, from her cold eyes, he knew that this would be the result. After forcing himself to continue to wait for her, he began to suspect that he has a masochistic tendency.

At this time, except for the young man and woman, there was no other guest. Besides the constantly reverberating music in the dining room, it was quiet.

After an indeterminate time later, the waitress went to Take Asasei and said: “I am sorry, miss, we would like to close, would you please come again tomorrow?”

Take Asasei looked at the watch; It was two o’clock in the morning. She immediately stood up and said: “I am sorry, I will go now.” Finally, after glancing at Ogata Yasuda at the corner, she walked toward the counter.

When she was checking out at the counter, she heard the man’s voice, “Call your manager, I want to reserve this entire dining room.”

The waitress very awkwardly said to him: “Sir, we really have to close, would you please come back tomorrow?”

Ogata Yasuda somewhat testily said: “I said I want the entire restaurant for myself, call your manager, now!”

That waitress had no choice but to go running to look for the restaurant manager.

Hearing this, Take Asasei secretly sighed and then walked out of the restaurant.

“His grandma, how on earth did they know we’re here?” Rei Li swore in a low voice while loading the submachine gun.

When they were ready to attack those attackers from behind, unexpectedly, they were ambushed. Dozens of men in black surrounded them. Moreover, those espers were also waiting for them there. Fortunately, they quickly threw a flash grenade and, taking advantage of the resulting confusion, went to the East of the woods.

But they can only run for a short time because the east side of the woods was very small. Soon, they were quickly surrounded by that dozens of men in black once again.

At this time they heard the twins said to the men in black: “Kill everyone except for Rei Li and the man who killed Robert. We want to slowly kill that guy.”
