The threat caused Ayumi to shiver. She did not know how Akira had that kind of momentum. Her investigation of the young woman did not indicate that she should have strong combat abilities or even resources to find information about Kaito.
However, it was clear she was not in the dark.
At first, she assumed that Akira's information came from Kaito. He seemed to trust her with everything, even if they had known each other for a short period. But now, she had a feeling that Akira was not just riding Kaito's coattails. If she had found the same clues as Ayumi on her own, she had to be powerful.
This knowledge made Ayumi nervous.
Her current hope of a blissful future was finding Kaito first. But she could not hope to be at the forefront if Akira could manage to do the same. She needed to make her heart firm if she wanted to get Kaito. The gentle image she used for years while staying quietly beside Kaito did not work.
