Ichika awoke, hot and panting; she was suddenly reminded of everything. That's why anytime Rikuu does something wonderful for her, she remembers something that doesn't exist in her memories. She cleaned her face, brushed her teeth, and tried to calm herself first. She remained in her pajamas. When she entered their living area, Takeshi and Akari were watching Rikuu as he was encoding. "What's going on?Ichika enquired. "It's his first time doing things that's not privately," Akari retorted.
Ichika asked herself, "Do I love you romantically, or is it just that you remind me of my biological father?" as she cast a glance at Rikuu. Ichika's expression subsequently became confused and dejected. Do you not wish to observe? Rikuu remarked, "You might get some idea and help." "Yes, I apologize. Ichika spoke. Sitting next to Rikuu, Ichika continued to doubt herself. She became aware that her heart was beating more quickly, but she could not recall anything. That's when she fell deeply in love. Ichika blushed when she noticed how near to Rikuu she was seated. Excuse me, I need to make a phone call!Ichika then bolted for her room. They recoiled yet chose to ignore her. Ichika went back to sleep.
Rikuu discovered something when encoding: words in his native Japanese language would not form. He attempted Korean in every way, but was unsuccessful. He attempted and failed with many more scripts, including Chinese and Russian. His only remaining choice was to attempt learning Latin script, which would have made him weaker. After trying to encode the code by alphabetical arrangement, he came up with the first code, which was the code he found on the tree by "i k u z u s + u u y r" the second code, which Takeshi and Akari got from the man in the forest was "o t o m o n e + i j o k" the third and last code they found from the lion was "n o i l". Rikuu rapidly understood the purpose and operation of the code. The Japanese name Enomoto Koji was represented by the letters "n o i l = lion" and "o t o m o n e + i j o k = Enomoto Koji," which he mentally inverted. He discovered that the code on the tree could be decoded as "i k u z u s + u u y r = Suzuki Ryuu." He was terrified and shocked, but he kept it from Akari. "I'm still not sure I understand it," Rikuu grinned and scratched his head. Takeshi sensed that Rikuu was not quite right. "Well, lunchtime is here, and I get to cook now. We'll try again later, I suppose," Akari remarked.
Rikuu stated to Takeshi, "I'll show you this, but be quiet," when Akari left them both alone. Takeshi was equally astounded and terrified to see the name "Suzuki Ryuu." Is he not the person our father told us about?Takeshi enquired. In response, Rikuu said, "Yes." But I thought he passed away a long time ago," Rikuu pondered. Rikuu continued, "We need to tell Akari, Ichika, and the rest of the clan about this tonight, after our mission in Minato this afternoon." Takeshi appeared serious and ready for the impending clan search and war. Takeshi remarked, "I guess the frenzy will begin."
After Akari was done cooking, she roused up Ichika to eat and prepare for their trip in Minato. Ichika asked for five more minutes. "Five more minutes is up! You've been saying the same thing for fifteen minutes; get up!"Akari said. "Oh my goodness, what time is it? asked Ichika. Ichika saw the time was 12:06 PM by looking at the clock. She stood up fast, ate swiftly, and dressed rapidly. It was 12:14 PM, and she was ready. "I'm prepared!Ichika remarked resolutely. Takeshi and Akari chuckled and remarked, "We still have three hours left." Ichika was ashamed because she noticed Rikuu grinning at her. Ichika grabbed her face, flushed, and yelled, "Nooo!"
It was already 14:06 PM when they were all ready, and they all got into the car to travel to headquarters. Ichika saw that Rikuu was not looking out the window that particular time, but she remained silent out of shyness even though she was clearly in love with him. Ichika appears anxious when the mission is about to begin. She recalled that Rikuu was her partner. "Are you alright? It's strange that you appear to be quiet now, Rikuu questioned. Ichika muttered, "I guess I'm fine." She averted her gaze from Rikuu and suddenly turned a tomato red. Naturally, Rikuu saw Ichika's evident actions and soon recognized that she had fallen in love with him. Grinning, Rikuu took her hand in his. "Take a deep breath and relax yourself. It's okay if you're nervous," Rikuu remarked, understanding Ichika's precise cause for her stillness.
