Abiding in his own words, Heisuke was quick to arrange a meeting with Shuuya two days later. He went to Shuuya's pottery kiln after sending Hisaki's parents and Takuya to the train station. His lady returned to the apartment, saying she wanted to just rest today.
Once Heisuke arrived at the pottery kiln, he parked the bicycle under a nearby shady tree. Many customers walked in and out of the kiln, all were eager to get a few pieces of the meticulously made pottery.
Heisuke greeted some of the staff that he knew while heading to Shuuya's office. His friend was alone. Aino was at home with their daughter.
Shuuya welcomed Heisuke to sit on the couch. He was quick to bring out cold drinks to his friend. The temperature was quite high these days as summer began.
"Didn't you say you need some private investigators? Can I know the reason?" asked Shuuya while handing the glass to Heisuke.
