#253 Dangerous But Needed
Last Updated:
2024-12-28 07:02:54"But how does he know about Ishida? Maybe he's just referencing a memory?" Ryu tried to calm his sister.
"No. Earlier he mentioned Nakamura, then suddenly brought up Ishida."
Yui approached the desk, where the laptop and equipment were set, selected a file, and played one of the recordings. It was a recording of Abe and Ueda.
There were several files, and Yui's job was to listen and pick out the important parts. Ryu and Kyoko's task was to ensure the bugging devices were placed near Abe, which was a difficult challenge.
Abe was always cautious, so he would sweep for bugs in his office and bedroom every two or three days.
To avoid suspicion—since finding bugs in his office would raise alarms—Ryu and Kyoko had to take turns placing and removing the devices each time.
Luckily, they had already figured out Ueda's highly regimented habits. So far, they hadn't encountered any issues. However, the process of placing and removing t

"Damned woman! You've cut off our family's lineage with your infertility!"Akiko wiped her tears, not daring to show herself. She continued hiding behind the wall as her mother-in-law passed by in the corridor. Her expression made it clear that she was furious.Her anger had been simmering all day, from before Akiko's husband left in the morning to the afternoon. Akiko had only suggested that her husband see a doctor to check his fertility because she had done it several times and the results were normal. This suggestion was received as a disaster: her mother-in-law was enraged, and her husband refused and left her."Where are you? You are nothing but a barren, sickly woman!" Another shout echoed, making Akiko jump. She feared her mother-in-law might truly harm her. She had never been this angry before.Akiko sneaked towards the door as quickly and silently as possible."You only use our family name to gain respect. But you are useless!” The shout was followed by the sound of someth

Kenji held Akiko’s hand, his remaining common sense reminding him to prevent Akiko from undressing.“Akiko, stop! What are you doing?”His noble intentions did not align with Akiko’s desires, as she pushed Kenji’s hand away and fully removed her thin nightgown, along with everything else. No fabric remained on Akiko’s body, and Kenji could only watch, wondering if it was all a dream—it seemed too impossible.“Hot—” Akiko’s soft moan was audible as she lay down. Her eyes closed, as if asleep, but her hands kept caressing her own body, as if trying to dispel the heat enveloping her.A pair of eyes had been unblinkingly watching Akiko's every move, swallowing several times. No man could maintain his sanity after witnessing this. Kenji, who had intended to do the right thing, had forgotten that intention. He tried to remember that the enticing girl was Akiko, but his lust and clouded mind started pushing away the remnants of his common sense.“Come here...”As if writhing wasn’t enough,

"I don't know, Aunt. Truly, it's a mistake. I don't understand." Akiko whimpered and begged for forgiveness. Though she had no memory, she knew her actions were disgusting."I pity you! I try to understand your burden! As your mother's only family, I've tried to help! I arrived here with the expectation of reestablishing a connection after an extended period of time apart; however, you struck me in the back. You're disgusting!"Karina kept hurling insults, and all of them were true. Akiko knew she deserved it. As a child, Akiko left her mother's homeland—Indonesia—to seek treatment for her illness in Japan, after her parents died. Akiko had only met Karina again as an adult, when she married Kenji.Karina was the only family Akiko had left besides Kenji, but now her disgusting actions have shattered that relationship."You don't deserve to cry! I do!" Karina pushed Akiko's shoulders, causing her to stumble.Fortunately, Akiko managed to lean against something to avoid falling. Hearing

But Kenji's hand was quicker; he grabbed Karina's arm and pulled her back inside while pushing the shoji* door shut.“Don’t you dare do that!” Kenji hissed. He didn’t care about Akiko’s marriage, but he didn’t want Karina to do something that would make Akiko cry for days.“Oji-san!” Akiko cried out in panic, as Karina now screamed in pain. Kenji was squeezing her arm hard, not just pulling her.“Don’t hurt her, Oji-san!” Akiko pulled at Kenji’s hand, trying to free Karina. Slowly, Kenji’s grip loosened, not because of Akiko’s pull but because of her tears.“Oji-san, I don’t want to be separated from Yuto. I don’t want to lose him. Please grant Auntie’s request.” Akiko then pleaded.A few seconds ago, her heart was still in turmoil, but the nightmare of being separated from Yuto was scarier to her. Akiko knew her request might be more than just impudent—asking her uncle to let go of his wife was crazy.In Akiko’s mind, they were married and happy. Kenji refused to grant the divorce r

Akiko quickly retreated to the corner of the bathroom, clutching her phone tightly. There was nothing she could do. Her body was tense as her eyes remained fixed on Kenji, who looked extremely angry.With a trembling voice, Akiko whispered, "Oji-san...""Oji-san!" Akiko screamed as Kenji's rough hand snatched her phone away.Without blinking, Kenji threw the phone against the bathroom wall, shattering it into pieces."Why did you do that?" Akiko wailed as she fell to the floor, gathering the fragments of her phone that were irreparable. The phone wouldn’t turn on, and the screen was cracked."I told you to stay here! You don't deserve to go back to that family!" Kenji hissed and tried to force Akiko to stand, but she pushed his hand away."No. I want to go back. I need to be with Yuto!"Kenji pulled Akiko’s face close, gripping her cheeks with his hand. "What do you like about him? He's weak! And he doesn't make you happy at all!""He's not weak. I’m happy with him! I’m---""LIES! If

Akiko wiped her tears away, taking two suitcases near her feet and using them as support to stand. She felt she had no more strength left. With vacant eyes, Akiko walked away from the gate. She didn’t know what to do or how to handle the situation. She didn't understand how Kaede knew what had happened.Karina shouldn't have spoken again, since she had already received the money she wanted and had her wish to leave Kenji fulfilled. But now it didn’t matter who had informed Kaede; Akiko’s worst fears had come true.Akiko sighed deeply, trying to hold back her tears as she staggered along. Physically, her body wasn’t in pain, but her heart was bruised and bleeding. She couldn’t even stand up straight.Akiko walked without looking anywhere, but she stopped when she noticed a familiar car stopping beside her. It's Kenji's car.Kenji hadn’t left. Kenji had been standing in front of Yuto's house earlier, clearly observing how Kaede had driven Akiko away. He had been following her the whole

Akiko didn’t know how long she had spent sitting silently in the corner of her room because, when she came, the surroundings had already turned dark. She turned on the light, took a stack of futons from the sliding closet, and laid them out on the floor to sleep.But even though she lay down and felt very tired, Akiko couldn’t fall asleep. Besides feeling restless and scared of Kenji, Akiko was also afraid of her own future. She had never felt so lost and hopeless, as if the whole world didn’t want to accept her. Akiko then closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to clear her mind of all the negative thoughts that were gnawing at her sanity and well-being.At that moment, Akiko wanted to improve her current life and find a way to stop sinking deeper into despair. Indeed, contemplating Yuto and everything else wasn't the appropriate approach.“I will work,” Akiko muttered. After clearing her mind, she finally came to a decision that she found quite satisfying.By working,

Akiko quickly set the table for breakfast, rushing because she didn't want to be late. It would be detrimental to her reputation if she arrived late for her job interview. She arranged the rice and miso soup side by side. Having found some shrimp earlier, Akiko decided to make shrimp karaage, recalling that her uncle liked it.Carefully, Akiko placed the chopsticks on their rest, right next to the bowl. There was no height difference between the chopsticks, and after straightening them several times, Akiko realized that all this extra neatness wasn't necessary.Kaede wasn't around to scold her, even if the chopsticks weren't perfectly aligned. That was how detailed Kaede's demands for perfection from Akiko were. The woman would chastise her for even a chopstick-length difference.Akiko shook her head, realizing she needed to let go of the habit of always striving for perfection. No one would scold her anymore. Akiko clenched her fists, trying to suppress the overwhelming sense of rel

After hearing the footsteps and the scolding, Kyoko knew that what Ryu was doing was his way of covering up their situation—talking alone in a strange place. Still, it caught her by surprise.“You two could find another place for that, couldn’t you? Don’t flaunt it in public like this!” The reprimand was sharp.“We apologize.” Ryu flashed a regretful smile, bowing deeply as he asked for forgiveness.However, Ryu's usual smile, which often soothed the emotions of his conversation partners, lost some of its charm due to his disguise. The person scolding them didn’t seem convinced.“I could report you and have you fired for doing this during work hours!” she yelled.“Tsukino-san! Don’t be like that. We were just messing around. There’s no need to take it that far. Please forgive us,” Kyoko finally turned around and joined in the apology. Her words were more effective t

“Damn idiot!”The bald man sitting behind his desk cursed at the television, which was currently showing Yuto Nakamura kneeling at the gate of his home.He then turned to the man behind him. “Why isn’t Kuryugumi defending them? They should be helping, right? They were responsible for nominating Nakamura."The man who was being addressed bowed slightly, indicating that he needed permission to respond. “They’re probably deceived as well, Abe-dono*. They don’t know about the bad things and think they’re clean.”Abe scowled, continuing to observe Yuto, who bore a dismal expression in his eyes. He had suspected that from the beginning, but he didn't think it was accurate.“Kenji is different from Masaki. He isn’t careless like this. I am familiar with how they typically select candidates to propose to. Even the slightest oddity would cause them to cancel their choice and look for someone

Yuto cursed inwardly as he saw the crowd of reporters gathered at his doorstep. He hadn't expected to face them, even though Karin had given him a slight heads-up about the situation at home. But it turned out there were far more people than he'd imagined."Please take a turn over there."Yuto asked the taxi driver not to stop in front of his house. He needed to find another way in, perhaps through the less conspicuous back door, hoping no one would be waiting for him there.But again, disappointment. As he arrived at the street leading to the back entrance, Yuto saw a few people standing near the gate. Even though the crowd was smaller than at the front entrance, it was still preferable to the main entrance.Yuto instructed the taxi driver to stop, but not directly in front of the gate. He got out near the back gate of the neighbor’s house, then walked toward his own.He kept his head down, raising the collar of his coat to hide his face. Th

"There are no serious symptoms, Sandaime. Your wife is strong, and her pregnancy has entered the end of the second trimester. Very strong. I hope there won't be any issues until the day of delivery."The doctor, who had examined Akiko, smiled as he delivered the news. Despite hearing everything, Kenji didn't feel reassured. "Are you sure? She was dizzy earlier!""I'm sure. Fatigue can cause dizziness, even if it occurs only once or twice. If it repeats frequently, then it could be a concern." The doctor gave him a slight warning, but not a direct one, to prevent Kenji from becoming panicked."I'll remember this. Make sure you don't make a mistake." Kenji's tone was threatening. He did not want any errors."Of course. Just make sure Tanaka-san continues with her regular check-ups." The doctor bowed, and Kenji waved him off.Kenji then entered the room, where Akiko was lying down. Her eyes were closed, but Kenji knew she wasn't asleep. The moment he

Akiko did indeed locate the man who was with Shibata yesterday, but his condition was not favorable.Yesterday, Akiko noticed that his condition had deteriorated, but this time it was even worse. He had bruises on his face, his nose was bent and darkened, and his shirt around his chest was dirty, revealing the mark of Kenji's boot."Akiko-chan."Yuto tried to approach her, but Kenji—who, of course, had followed her in—stopped him. He pulled Akiko's hand, keeping her away from Yuto while standing between them."What do you think you're doing?!" Kenji shouted."Move," Akiko replied, pushing Kenji aside."Kiko-chan." Kenji was clearly surprised, as it had been a long time since Akiko had openly defied him like this.But Akiko didn't want to stay quiet. She needed to understand the meaning of the strange sense of righteousness stirring within her heart.Akiko never doubted that her love for Kenji was real. There was no

"Yuto-kun? Where are you? Have you seen the news? You have to see it!"Karin's panicked shout left Kenji feeling slightly disappointed. Karin didn’t recognize his voice. She kept talking, thinking she was speaking to Yuto."That’s Otou-san, right? What happens now? Will that position be lost?" Karin was panicked, and naturally, Kenji smiled.It was better this way. She couldn’t recognize his voice because she didn’t expect him to be involved in all the misfortunes that had occurred. Kenji had answered the phone because he wanted to give Karin a little hint about what was coming her way next. But perhaps it wasn’t necessary. Surprises always produced more satisfying results."Yuto-kun?!" Karin shouted again, having received no answer.So, Kenji crouched down and covered the phone’s mic."Answer, but don’t say anything about me," Kenji whispered, commanding and threatening.Yuto clearly wanted to

[For the next news. We were taken aback by the unexpected news that arrived today. We have confirmed that this case is currently under police investigation as we release this report.]The opening of the news made Yuto glance back at Kenji. He couldn’t understand why Kenji had come over just to invite him to watch TV. It couldn’t be that simple.But Kenji wasn’t paying attention. He continued to watch the television, smiling.[This morning, it was reported that a man with the initial 'K,' who was recently appointed as the Minister of Education, has committed a criminal act.]At that point, Yuto's face went pale. Although the news only mentioned an initial—not a full name—the title mentioned was enough to clarify the identity. Since only one person on Earth had been appointed Japan's Minister of Education, the narrative fit perfectly.Yuto could easily imagine what had happened because he had spent half his life knowing

“What’s wrong with you?”Kenji held back Akiko’s hand, which was about to feed her a large piece of roasted fish without removing the bones. Akiko was just going to eat it as is.“Oh.” Akiko looked at the fish on the end of her chopsticks and put it back down.Kenji moved his chair closer to Akiko, took the plate, separated the fish meat from the bones, and then returned it. Now it was safe to eat.“What were you daydreaming about?” Kenji asked.Earlier, Kenji thought Akiko was just sleepy, so he didn’t pay much attention to the food in front of her. But Akiko didn’t look drowsy; her eyes were just vacant, lost in thought.“I… Oh, never mind.” Akiko shook her head and proceeded with her breakfast.“If you don’t like today’s activities, cancel everything and rest.” Kenji was unable to recall what Akiko had planned to do next.&
