The general spirit on the island continued to rise as people prepared for the beginning of the Triennial Championships. Kaito was not excited about the entire event, but he still went to the Iekami clan to listen to the arrangements made.
In truth, Taiki had told him that he did not have to participate in the fights. However, Kaito did not want to back out and break his word. However, he also discovered that his uncle was behaving more strangely and unnaturally in the days leading up to the championships.
At first, he thought he was overthinking, but even Akira mentioned that Taiki was not being his normal self. It was almost like he was on edge. It was very unsettling.
Unfortunately, Taiki was careful, so he did not reveal anything despite their prying.
