There was a tense atmosphere in the office room.
The old house, with its peeling wooden exterior walls, is dimly lit by the light from the street lamp leaking through the window.
Akino san sits on the sofa, her long hair hiding her face, her hands trembling in her lap.
Aira was holding her shoulder and Yua chan was holding Akino san’s hand on the other side.
“What I’ve found out over the past few days is that he’s been using money to hire people to harass us.” I said, placing photographs of the evidence on the table.
“Yuuto senpai, what are you gonna do next?”
Aira looked up at me with sharp eyes, her voice filled with determination to protect Akino san and hatred for Kadokawa.
I took a deep breath and answered.
“First, I would stop him. After stopping him, detain him, make him apologize for everything he has done, and then have him turn himself in. This is the best option, but if he doesn’t comply, or if there is any suspicious activity…then… I will let Akino-san decide everything.”
Akino san looked up slightly and muttered, “…Okay.”
Her voice was weak, and I felt crushed by the guilt I felt for causing trouble.
I took a step closer, looked her in the eye, and said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you, Akino san.”
Yua chan added softly, “He’s right…we will all protect you, Akino san.”
Akino san’s shoulders trembled slightly and thin tears appeared in her eyes.
“So? What are we gonna do? The only evidence we have at this point is that BD. He’s been holed up in that house all this time.”
“Regarding that…I have a proposal. This may be a bit of a burden on you, Akino san, but…”
“Tell me.”
“….It’s.”
◇Boss’s Office
“I’ve got information on Kadokawa’s debt. He owes a total of 2.5 million yen from three companies other than ours. He’s behind on his repayments and is on the verge of being locked up. The reason he borrowed from us last time and paid it back instantly must be to show that he is financially comfortable. I heard that he lives in a luxurious house, but he himself doesn’t work and is eating up his parents’ inheritance. He has no real assets now except for the house. The debt is probably just labor costs he used to harass this time.” he said as he tossed me a document.
“….I knew he was rich, but he’s just a shut-in, huh? If he’s already deep in debt, it’ll be easier to shut him down.”
“Yeah. I’ve asked my contacts to put pressure on the companies. I’m sure he’ll have the money flowing in the bank by the end of the week. Once they start working, it will be easier to gather evidence. Besides, there’s your operation.” the boss grinned.
“….I hope it works.”
“I think it’s pretty effective. He probably never expected us to do something like that.”
The door opened and Aira entered.
“Yuuto senpai, I went to check on Rinoha. She’s calmed down a lot since she got here…but she says she wants to keep her distance because she’s embarrassed.”
“…I see. I should’ve stopped after all.”
“No, she’s actually happy about it. I’m impressed that you were able to come up with a way to deal a blow to that guy while stabilizing Rinoha’s mental state !”
“Well, I don’t know what’s going to happen yet.”
◇Kadokawa house
Rinoha…I will not hand her over to anyone.
He sits in a dark room, biting his nails while looking at the numerous posters of Rinoha that are hung up around the room.
But I’m running out of money.
Should I just sell the house? That would bring in money in the hundreds of millions.
Then….
While he was thinking about that, the intercom rang.
A delivery? Is it the stun gun I ordered the other day? I go to the front door.
“Delivery service.”
“Please leave it at the front door.”
“I need your signature to hand it over.”
I check the surroundings and leave with the chain on, thinking it’s a hassle.
I receive the paper through the narrow gap.
The sender was written as…Akino Rinoha, and I couldn’t help but grin.
I signed it messily and handed it over immediately.
“Please leave the package in front of the entrance.”
“Thank you very much～” he said, and left.
The reason I was so thorough was because I was considering the possibility that those guys might try something.
I was still on the alert, and when I received the package, I found a BD in it.
No way, did they go to the trouble of returning it?
It was one of the thousands of BDs I had dubbed.
I didn’t really need it…but then I realized that it was a slightly different disc from the BDs I use.
With some doubt in my mind, I load the disc.
Then I saw Rinoha on the disc.
What’s this video…it’s not the one I took.
As he thinks this, the man in question….Yamasaka Yuuto, appears on the screen.
They looked at each other, kissed and hugged each other as if they were showing off…and whispered their love to each other.
The expression on Rinoha’s face was the only girlish expression I had never been able to bring out.
“Don’t…don’t fuck with me !” and smashed the BD as it was.
I’ll never forgive those guys…! My woman ! !
I’ll kill you for sure…! !

When I returned to the office in the afternoon, Yua chan was sitting on the sofa in the boss’s office.
She was looking at something with her mint green phone in her hand.
As soon as she noticed my presence, she looked up and asked, “Yuuto san, welcome back….is Akino san okay?”
“Yeah…she hasn’t been able to talk directly, but she’s probably fine.”
Yua chan gave a small nod and said, “I…want to do something too.”
I could feel her growth in those words.
“Yua chan, you should stay by her side, okay? Because that’s the only thing that’s saving Akino san’s life.”
She widened her eyes and muttered, “…Really?”
I patted her head and said, “Yeah.” Yua chan gave a small smile and whispered, “…I see. I’ll do my best.”
A few days have passed since then…. At this point, there has been no movement.
The eeriness of the situation was conversely making me uneasy.
I don’t know what he will do if he gets upset, but if he does, it will be easier to turn him in to the police.
With that in mind, it was a few days later.
I received a call from Yamada, who had been monitoring me.
[Yuuto senpai, Kadokawa has come out of the house. He’s heading to a convenience store in Nishi Ward. What do we do now?]
Now…it begins.
