Chapter 11 - I feel envious

Takeshi's phone rang as he and Rikuu were idling around the living room. "Switch it to speaker," Rikuu remarked. "Hello? Who do they represent?Takeshi enquired. Shoto remarked, "Shoto on line, come quick. I have some task for you and Rikuu." Without exchanging another word, Takeshi and Rikuu hurriedly grabbed their coats and fled their hiding place. Shoto was at the entrance when they arrived at the hiding place. Shoto said, "Come inside quickly; I've been waiting for you." Once inside, Shoto displayed a photo of Kakusu's former leaders. Is that my father, then? Takeshi inquired. "Yes, it is," replied Shoto. This is your assignment: find out everything he knew about families, clans, and current crimes in Tokyo. Three new crimes occurred in Tokyo this morning, according to Shoto. "Why are we the ones who need to do it?" Rikuu then questioned."Well, the other higher ups can't do it right now, they're all busy," Shoto retorted. He retired because of a beef with me, and I can't either. Additionally, Takeshi is his son, he knew you in some way. Takeshi answered, "I guess, but we can't promise he will give any." Takeshi and Rikuu vowed as a sign of respect to Shoto. Shoto then said, "It's no problem, just try it." then made their way out.

As they were traveling, Takeshi inadvertently brought up the code. "By the way, what shall we do about the code? I'm really really incredibly curious about it." said Takeshi. "I don't know yet; I still can't figure out how to encode it," Rikuu retorted. "Mark my words: someday, I will do it."

As they emerged from the jungle, they entered Minato, Tokyo, Takeshi's birthplace, as well as the current house of Takeshi's father, Touma. Takeshi saw an endless frenzy once more, which made him desire to vanish once more. They used the roofs of homes as a passageway, and they entered Touma's house swiftly and fled. "Dad? It's me, Takeshi. I'm with Rikuu," Takeshi yelled at the residence. A female caught a glance and said, "Oh Takeshi and Rikuu, it's really you!" Not a moment to spare!She then gave Takeshi a hug. "Enough, mama! We're here for a task." Takeshi happily said. Takeshi saw that Rikuu was envious of them and said nothing at all. "It's been a long time, Miyako-San." "Rikuu, you've grown so much! come inside both of you, and have some dinner before going home." Touma said, "Good evening, Takeshi son, and Ryoi—I mean, Rikuu." "Do I truly resemble my dad this much?Rikuu enquired. Touma replied, "Yeah, I guess your facial harmony's the same." They all had dinner together. When the meal was over, Touma enquired, "What brought you here?Takeshi said, "It was essentially a job from Sir Shoto. He said that you had beef, so I hope you don't become upset over it. Touma responded, "Not at all; I already forgave him." "He brought us here to get some information from you regarding your familiarity with the families, clans, and crimes of Tokyo," Rikuu remarked. Touma remarked, "I'm sorry you might not be able to get the information you needed. I actually don't know a lot about it anymore." "I'm sorry for him; your long walk has been wasted," Miyako remarked. Takeshi remarked, "I guess it's time we go home." All of a sudden, Rikuu asked Touma. At the very least, Tuma-San, could you explain us the clan's history?After then, Touma recounted a story while attempting to recall it. "A lot took place. I, Akihiko, Fuyutsuki, and Asahi made Kakusu a long time ago. We developed a system of rankings. Four of us were the highest, of course. I am the highest, followed by Asahi, Akihiko, and Fuyutsuki. That was predicated on our intelligence at the time. Furthermore, the clan's initial goal was to develop into a team of detectives. But we're not fortunate enough for criminology education, we're too young. Thus, we just did independent forensic research. We evolved into an investigative clan. We decided to open membership to others after our clan gained notoriety in Shinagawa. We got to know Shoto, Nagisa, Aiko, and Ryoichi there. Did Akihiko adopt a child by the name of Itsuki? I forgot," Rikuu said, cutting off, "Ichika." "Yes! Ichika! After that, a clan led by an unidentified individual opposed us. The Chaos. They took Shoto's parents' lives. Shoto kept his feelings to himself for an entire year. Subsequently, Rikuu and Takeshi joined, while Akari was recruited by Fuyutsuki. I asked Shoto what had happened when he returned. Then he confided in me. I intended to listen to him without responding. He neglected me a lot and became angry with me every day after that. He spread the word about it, which damaged my reputation. That's why I retired. After all, my leadership was adequate and good. I never learned as much about Tokyo's families, clans, and crimes again," Touma remarked. Is Sir Shoto vague or naive? Rikuu enquired. "Neither, he just misunderstood it" replied Touma.
