SHiori POV
The second day I was in Hong Kong, yesterday I was surprised by Richard who reported his meeting with Ryohei which ended well.
"Your boyfriend seems like a good guy. He seriously now threatened Yuna. He pays people to destroy his efforts, apparently he learns as well that if only threats will not bring results. He asked me what I did to Yuna." Richard spoke to me about the outcome of the meeting.
"Isn't that dangerous. What if Sayuri or she gets attacked again."
"Just relax, your boyfriend is not a man without calculations. He's protected by the strongmen in Tokyo. You don't have to worry about what I did last anyway, I'm sure he's been mentally deranged. The continued threat from Ryohei will make him give up." Richard's words relieved me.
"When you're going to Tokyo again."
"I don't know, maybe later, if I go to Tokyo I'll visit you. But thank you for helping me get the data on some of the people I need." He asked me yesterday to look for traces of some people's financial data, I don't have heard them but their accounts are quite impressive, I don't know who these people are.
"You helped me a lot too. It's nothing. Take care of yourself it seems that your work is now a lot of risk."
"I knew. I'll be careful. If you want to talk phone, until whenever we're still good friends, even if it's not a continent."
"If I go to NY I'll visit you." With that we parted ways, Sayuri is going to the USA, maybe we will be able to meet and chat later.
I hope Ryohei and Sayuri are doing well in Tokyo, not being bothered by Yuna anymore. Just thinking about it Ryohei called me.
"How are you there. You're not at a banquet, are you?"
"No, I'm at the hotel. Is Yuna bothering you guys again." Glad to hear his voice, we haven't seen each other in more than a week.
"Yuna doesn't think at least now, but I don't know when she's going to fly the white flag. But there is interference. My mom brought a really shitty girl home."
"You mean you're sort of in a match." Bring a girl home? It seems like a serious matter.
"Not just sort of introduced. But he made me and Sayuri feel annoyed by the behavior of the very regulator more than Mother. But my mother seems to realize now that Sayuri is really bothered with that girl." So his mother introduced him to a girl. Must be a pretty, rich girl and from a family.
"She must be beautiful, she's even told to stay at your house."
"She's beautiful, doctor, proud of her family, but nobody, we consider her a bully. We miss you more. Me and Sayuri intend to escape to my apartment tomorrow." Beautiful, a doctor, from the family to be, how can I win against such a perfect girl. Why should they even run away.
"Snow?"
"Sayuri and I are fed up with her behavior. She arranged for us to accompany her to celebrate hanami, planning her version of the unpleasant cooking on Saturday. He plans to stay until Tuesday. And we're gonna run till Tuesday because we don't want to see her again." I laugh.
"God. What's he doing so you have to run away from your own house?" Excitedly he told the girl's behavior. I don't want to laugh hearing that. The type of girl who was really troublesome seemed to be.
"Ohh we're ready for the perfect escape. If he's offended better actually." I grimaced. Ryohei and Sayuri were not afraid to offend him so it seemed that the girl was indeed a rival instead she took herself out of the fighting area.
"good. I trust you. It seems that eating bland food will make you suffer greatly." A person who does not eat cheese and pasta in an Italian restaurant is indeed a bit scary.
"Later Sayuri will tell you more about how annoying she is."
"I'd love the day to hear his spirited story." I've been imagining how Sayuri told me. "What if your mother knew me she wouldn't turn me down, my dad's just a retired government employee."
"My mother won't see anyone like that, me and Sayuri will introduce you properly. You don't have to worry about rejecting anyone. Yuna's problem makes me wait for the girl, if she knows I'm worried she'll be worried, if Yuna's problem is over, me and Sayuri will tell us we've got you. My mother loved Sayuri, she would listen to her granddaughter more than anyone. It won't take long." I'm flattered now. They both will introduce me.
It seems true that the girl was very disturbing, the next day I was on Sayuri's phone telling her in more detail.
"Papa misses you Brother, did he tell you." Sayuri said such a sweet thing about her father to me.
"I don't think he's that romantic. You remember how she said she wanted to be with her sister. But your father is a caring and open man. That's enough."
"I told you that feeling had to be said." I'm laughing now.
"That's okay Sayuri. Everything is good enough. You can't expect a Japanese man to adore you like an Italian. They're not made romantic." Sayuri laughed at my words.
"Later I have to have Italian or French friends, they are the most romantic people in the world." It was my turn to laugh.
"Be careful, you may lose your taste with local products. Ohh yeah, your dad said you guys were gonna run to the apartment, you're running now, you should be done with the juku, right?" It should have been past half-ten by now there. Tokyo and Hong Kong are one hour faster than Tokyo.
"Here I go home to Papa's apartment. I just told Grandma I'm not coming with Hanami because I'm staying at a friend's house."
"Your grandmother's okay, is that her guest?" I'm afraid he's scolded.
"It seems like Grandma understood Brother, since yesterday she heard my story she seemed to change her mind about that picky eater's daughter. Imagine him being so chatty about food alone, he even dared to ban us in front of grandma. Grandma should understand my reasons, why I hate her and it seems that she changed her mind so she doesn't like it either, the proof is that she just said be careful with me and gave me permission without asking any more questions, he's the one who's going to face the woman, we're just going home Monday night, and on Tuesday they're leaving." It turns out that the Grandma was more defending her grandson.
"Is that so."
"I'm sure Big Brother, take it easy, Yumi was already out of the arena because of her own attitude, even Grandma has agreed with me."
"All right, just think of it that way. You know your own grandmother better."
I returned to Tokyo quietly. The nuisance that was hindering my relationship with Ryohei took herself out of the fighting arena.
