Emi did not know what she was feeling or thinking.
Everything felt surreal.
She took a deep breath and looked at the imposing gate with a coiled dragon motif with some apprehension. She wanted to turn back her vehicle and go back to her house. An unknown sense in her mind told her that once she entered the gate, she would not be able to escape Yagi Seiryo.
She did not know if she was being paranoid.
But there was a sense of entrapment as she slowed down and stopped in front of that black gate.
Perhaps, the feeling came from the sensation of powerlessness when she was facing that man.
That helplessness made her agree to show up on Saturday at the Yagi home. She did not know why she ended up agreeing to do it.
When Yagi asked her to start teaching Misaki baking the next day in her office, she was tongue-tied for a short moment.
