In Misaki's house, she, Nyami and Michael gathered.
"Ryan died?" Misaki asked.
"Most probably." Michael sighed, "I shot him thrice. He can't be alive."
"He should never be alive." Misaki said, "He gave me counterfeit stuff. He dare scam me. So I had to ask you to kill him so that he knows in his next life, he ain't going to mess with Misaki Suzuki."
"Aunt, what do we do now?" Nyami asked.
She looked at Nyami, "Oh, you want to know? I'll let you know."
Misaki then took out a gun and shot Nyami in the head, "When I travel to Hell, which is years later." Nyami fell onto the floor, dead.
"Did you just kill your own niece, Boss?" Michael asked with fear.
"From the beginning, she's useless. She can't do the slightest thing right." Misaki growled, "Even you, who is not trained by me in fighting, is better than this worthless bitch. She ruins my plan. She gathered Ryan and you. She didn't realize someone had been tailing her all along."
"Who?"
"Who else? That damned officer named Ma Luoping!" Misaki complained, "Luckily, I distracted her to another location. What's more, is that I saw the surveillance camera in Ryan's house, she got defeated by your damned brother. She can't fight."
"You installed a camera in Ryan's house?"
"He is a seller and has my branded goods. I must be sure he brings back money from selling them. He'd usually ask the client to meet him in his house and the exchange happens. I'll witness it, so I know he's not scamming me out of my goods and free money. But now, I know that he isn't a real one."
"Boss, I killed one of Kento's gang members." Michael said, "It's the guy by the name of Roi."
"Oh my!" Misaki exclaimed, "Double R death! Even you could kill someone! I should've just killed Nyami from the start. Anyway, good job. You've been a loyal warrior. How did you kill him though?"
"I injured Jay, so when I was about to stab and kill him, Roi came in and I killed him instead."
"Brothers for life, all right." Misaki smiled evilly, "I'm going to break this brotherhood up soon, and make them all die!"
Yamada-kun And The Assassin
Episode 19
Miybai is eating lunch with Tsubaki. They didn't talk a lot like they used to. They just stare into their food and eat.
"So, what would you like to do after this, Miyabi?" Tsubaki asked, "Watch a movie? Take a walk? Reading books?"
"I don't know." Miyabi said, "You can decide."
For the whole time since this date started, she has been thinking non-stop about Brian. She seemed to like him more than Tsubaki.
"What am I doing?" She muttered to herself, knocking her head with her hand, "I shouldn't be thinking about someone else while I'm on a date."
"What is it, Miyabi?" Tsubaki asked gently.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's about my students. I wonder how they're doing now."
"Me too. Bet they have never seen me for a long time since the last time you brought me to your classroom."
"Yeah." She nodded awkwardly. She needed time to get used to dating a man who was once thought as dead and magically reappeared in her life again just as she was about to forget him.
Back in Ryan's house, police sirens were heard.
"Who called the police?" Jay asked.
"Must be that darned Misaki or her brown-nosing niece." Kento said, "We need to evacuate here. Quickly."
"What about Roi?" Grover asked.
"Just leave me here." Roi said, "No one here touched me anyway. And the only guy who touched me was Michael. They'll find him soon and arrest him."
"I can't just leave you here, Roi." Kento said, "I need to send you off properly, and bid you farewell in a nicer way so that you can rest in peace."
"If you want to do that, leave me here. From the fingerprints on me, the police will be able to track Michael and take him down. Then you'll be able to take down Misaki."
"Thanks for sacrificing, Roi." Kento sighed, "Rest in peace."
He, Jay, Yamada, Brian and Grover then climbed out of the window and ran away from the house as Ma Luoping enters the house.
"Officers, check all the rooms." She commanded. Officers then started searching the house, including the garage. Luoping looked around the living room.
"That stupid bitch brought me somewhere else just now." She thought, "What exactly is she hiding in this house? Why is she preventing me to come to here?"
One of the police officers then came to her, "Madam, you got to see this in the garage."
Luoping and the officer went down to the garage, where they saw the dead Ryan and a bloody wrench.
"Upon closer investigation, Madam," The officer said, "It is most likely that the wrench is a weapon used to kill this person, although there are gun bullets on his head too."
"I see. Take the wrench back for fingerprints check, then we can see who's the killer."
Another police officer came down using the lift. He ran to Luoping.
"Another dead casualty, Madam." He told her.
In Kento's house, he, Grover, Yamada, Jay and Brian sat down on the floor, unsure of what to do.
"I realized we left Sarushima behind, didn't we?" Brian asked.
"She messaged me, saying that Michael took her home while he was running away." Grover said
"I thought she was in my car?" Jay asked.
"Well, I think Michael ran away with the car." Brian said.
"That's my car!" Jay grumbled, "How dare he take my car!"
"Stop complaining like a kid. Geez." Kento sighed, "Now, we got to think of a way to bring Misaki down. We dragged this quite far."
"For now, you've told us earlier that Ryan's dead." Brian said, "So, it's left with Nyami, Michael and Misaki. Michael would soon be caught, so Nyami and Misaki. How are we going to corner Misaki?"
"We need Sarushima." Grover said, "She's our only hope now. Hopefully Michael brings her along to meet Misaki. Then we can use her to find the location of that bitch and we can take her down."
"The problem is, does any of those three know that Sarushima is our friend?" Kento asked.
"I don't think so." Grover shook his head.
"We got to defeat Misaki." Kento growled, "Or at least Michael. For Roi's sake."
Sarushima is driving Michael home. On the way, he turned to her.
"I want to thank you for driving me out of that house, and then to my home." He said.
"Think nothing of it. You're my boss."
"I had no idea what happened just now." Michael scratched his head, "Everything happened in a flash. One moment I was talking to Nyami, another moment I'm fighting someone, and the next moment I killed a guy. Did you know what happened?"
"Nope. I was in the car." She lied, "I was in this car to protect myself when I heard the gunshots."
"Do you know how Kento and his gang knew we were here?" Michael catechized.
"Who's Kento?" She asked. Well, she definitely have to pose that question. She had to act she didn't know Kento so as to not arouse suspicion.
"Oh, you didn't know?" Michael asked, "Then never mind. Let's not ask the question."
Once she reached Michael's house, he got out of the car and went into the house. She then took out her phone and called Yamada.
Back in Kento's home, Odagiri is baking a cake in the kitchen. Tonight is her colleague's birthday party, and she didn't want to go empty-handed. As she was sifting the floor, Grover came in and looked at what she is doing.
"Osamu!" She sighed a sigh of relief, "You scared me. What are you doing here?"
"Looking at my older sister doing something." Grover replied, "What are you doing, actually?"
"I'm baking a cake for my friend." She answered.
"Looks interesting. Let me help you."
"You sure? You always complain when you help me. Remember that time when I had to cook an egg? I didn't know, so Otou-san told you to help me, and you scolded me after teaching me."
"That was when we're young. Now I'm not so petty. Let me help you."
For the next hour, they baked two cakes: one for Odagiri's colleague, and one for her, Grover and Kento.
"You care a lot about Kento, don't you?" Grover asked, "You baked him a cake to fill his hunger bar."
"He's my beloved husband." Odagiri smiled, "Besides, he's been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to find ways to take Misaki down. This is just a treat from me. It won't be enough for all the things he did for me."
"Aww. What a cute couple." Grover teased. Odagiri sliced off a part of the cake and ate it. She nodded her head in satisfaction.
"Great cake!" She exclaimed as Grover took some cream on the cake and placed it on her nose.
"You look funny." Grover then started laughing. Odagiri took some cream with her finger and started swiping it on Grover's face. He did the same back to her, and she did the same back to him. A few minutes later, they were having fun wiping cream on each other's face. Finally, they stopped after a while.
"It's been so long since I had fun with you, Oneesan." Grover said, "I really enjoy the time I spend with you."
"Me too." Odagiri then hugged Grover, "I'm glad you're alive. That's all that matters. I will always love you as a elder sister. Make sure you know that."
"Yeah, yeah." Grover smiled at her and patted her shoulders. At night, Kento sat on the sofa in his living room, thinking about something. He stared at the sky and sighed.
Shiraishi and Yamada met up for dinner.
"So, Roi's killed?" Shiraishi asked him. Yamada nodded, "It's just sad. Another member gone."
"This reminds me so much of Han. He's Onii-san's gang member that died a year ago. I really miss him. His stupid jokes, how he chased me for love, how he and Onii-san always get along and fight together."
"I kinda miss him too. I didn't relly talk to him a lot, but we still communicated with each other through Kento. I still remembered he had a spirit to fight Kamkeo and bring her down, but too bad he got killed before he can even do that."
"I was wondering if I should visit Han's grave tomorrow during my lunch break." Shiraishi suggested.
"Sure. Just be careful when you go there."
"I know that." Shiraishi smiled at him.
Odagiri just finished drying her hair after bathing. She was about to get a cup of water when she saw Kento on the sofa. She went to him and sat beside him.
"Dear, what are you thinking about?" She asked gently, placing her hand over his neck. He looked at her and smiled, "Nothing much."
"You're faking a smile, aren't you?" Odagiri looked at him worriedly, "What happened to you, Kento?"
Kento wiped the smile off his face and looked down, "I have failed to protect Roi. He died earlier today because he got killed by someone in Misaki's team. It's all my fault I wasted my time doing something else. It just reminds me of Han, because I spent my time studying instead of helping them."
"It's not your fault, Kento." Odagiri pulled his face up to look at hers, "I know you've always taken good care of your gang members. You always try your best to be safe from others. It's okay. I'm sure Roi won't blame you for his death. I'm sure he wants you to defeat Misaki once and for all."
"Maybe you're right." He said, "But it reminds me of Han. I've also injured Ryan badly."
"Why?"
"Ryan should go back to where he belongs. From the data I've gathered, his homeland is China, and he's supposed to be supporting his own family. However he ran away in order to live a good life."
"I've never heard of this type of guy before." Odagiri replied, "Anyway, don't feel sad. All of us here know you're trying your best to take Misaki and her team down, and we're here to help you. Even when everyone wants to back down, I'll definitely still stay by your side. Shiraishi and Yamada will, too. So, don't be sad, okay? It makes me upset to see you unhappy."
"Alright." Kento smiled and kissed Odagiri's cheeks, "Thanks for the encouraging words."
"C'mon, Kento." Odagiri held his hand, "Let's go to sleep and discuss this tomorrow."
They then stood up and went to their room and got onto the bed.
"Good night, Kento." Odagiri kissed his forehead.
"Good night, Odagiri." He then covered their bodies with a big blanket as she slept on his shoulder.
In Michael's house, he tossed and turned on the bed continuously. He couldn't sleep at all because he was feeling regretful about what he had done earlier today.
He got up from his bed and looked at the wall in front of him, and thought about the things he did.
A few hours ago...
Michael was fighting with Roi and Shaggy. Shaggy came at him with a gun while Roi hit him with a chair.
Michael got up and kicked Roi away. He then wrestled Jay to the floor, trying to reach for the gun. Jay tried shooting, but all the bullets missed as Michael dodged them by moving left and right.
After five minutes, Michael manages to steal the gun by using one leg to step Jay's hand, another to step his face. Jay had no choice but to let it go.
Michael picked the gun up. He only intended to injure the two of them. He didn't like to see deaths. When he has forced to bomb Shaggy's house, he made sure he let at least one of the people in the house see the dynamites. He purposely stayed outside for a while to let Miyabi see him before running away.
As he was about to shoot Jay on the stomach, Roi jumped in and held Michael's left hand, where he held the gun.
"Don't you dare kill my brother, you motherfucker!" Roi screamed, "Today will be the end of your life, you weakling!"
"I don't think so." Michael was enraged by what Roi called him that Michael pushed Roi using his right hand and then aiming for Roi's stomach so that he can shoot.
However, as Michael was about to pull the trigger, Roi's hand pushed the gun up a little as he was falling. As a result, Michael shot a bullet at his chest, nearby the heart. Roi fell onto the floor, gasping for air.
"Oh fuck." Michael cursed. He then quickly jumped out of the window. Jay tried to stop him, but he was too quick.
Michael advanced to the garage just a few seconds after Kento left. He saw Ryan trying to get up.
Michael reloaded his gun and aimed it at Ryan's head. He then shot thrice. He then went out of the garage and out of the house. There, he saw Sarushima in a car, holding the driver wheel.
He got into the passenger seat and tapped Sarushima's shoulder.
"Ah! You gave me a fright, Boss." She said.
"I don't care. Drive me out of here quick! I can't be seen!"
Back to the present...
Michael had certainly felt horrible about killing people. He was usually the kind, conservative one who loved peace and amicability when he was young. Now he had just murdered two people because of Misaki.
"She's giving me lots of money for the next job." He thought, "And I need money."
It's true. He had been using the money Misaki gave him for luxurious food, drinks and even a new car. He also gets to show off to his friends about how much money he has.
Since young, he was bullied by schoolmates because he was the poorest among them. Now he can finally flaunt how rich he is. Now he can mock others. It's a good feeling to him. It's also great that he can finally support his brother financially with the money.
Oh, how he loved money so much.
"That would be my last job. I'd better quit after this. I cannot afford to kill more people."
