Reincarnation: A Quite Revenge

Chapter 24 - The Secret Disclosure

Hiro woke up in the early hours. She can see Shima sleeping on the sofa next door. Hiro observes Shima's situation first. He was glad to see his best friend was okay. Shima seemed to have only a small wound on her forehead.

A sigh of relief blew from Hiro's nose. He took his time to go home. The man walked with a shunt because of the dizziness that was still left.

Chequek...

Hiro slowly opened the door, then entered his house. He's looking for Akira. But her mother was completely invisible. A sign that Akira hasn't been home since this morning. Hiro just rubbed his face rough, then immediately cleaned himself up. The smell of alcohol on his body was disturbing.

Like there was no Akira, Hiro took the initiative to find clues about his father. He started rummaging through the things that were in Akira's room. Hope to find something important.

A large bag that was on top of the closet caught Hiro's attention. Without the ba bi bu, he immediately grabbed the big bag. Then check the contents inside. A medium-sized wooden box gives rise to its sweetness. Moreover, the thing looks shabby and old.

The truck!

Hiro immediately opened the box he found. There he found two photos that attracted his attention.

The first photo sheet shows Akira posing with a middle-aged man and woman. The three seemed to be smiling widely. Akira also looks so happy in the photo. Hiro suspects that the two people who took pictures with Akira are his grandparents.

The second photo shows two couples. Akira looked bunting, and was holding a tall man. Next to him was another couple. A mustachioed man who embraces a friendly woman with hair braided in two.

Hiro frowned, because he felt familiar with the figure of the moustached man in the photo. After he tried to remember well, Hiro's eyes immediately widened. The man with the mustache was Takeda. When viewed carefully, Takeda looks younger in the photo. Hiro had trouble getting to know him.

"It turns out to be true, the god must have had a reason to take me to this age, then put me in Hiro's body." murmured Hiro while tightening his jaw irritated. He was eager to tear apart the photo that was now within his grasp. But he can't do that, because Hiro needs him to get more leads.

...***...

The next day, Akira did not return home. Hiro who had fallen asleep, finally woke up when he heard the sound of the door opening.

Shima appears with a blue t-shirt and shorts. The eel is still visible covered with a small bandage. He rushed over, and asked Hiro the situation.

"Thank God." muttered Shima after learning her best friend had improved. Then position yourself sitting next to Hiro.

"What really happened last night?" hiro asked, turning his head towards Shima. Curious about the fights experienced by Kogoro. As a result of being drunk, Hiro almost forgot about a lot of things that happened last night. Especially after Izumi poured a bottle of alcohol on his face.

"Come on, my uncle's still asleep. He doesn't want to tell the truth" Shima said. Stare blankly at the ceiling.

"Then, more and more things we have to solve now." Hiro spoke while changing his position to stand up. Then take a photo that he kept in a closet drawer.

Shima was just silent. He felt lazy to go to school. Hiro was completely expelled from school. Shima's spirit instantly faded. He chose to truant for a while, while thinking of a good choice for the sake of his education.

"Look what I found!" Hiro presented a piece of the photo to Shima.

Shima, who was still sitting down, slowly raised her head. He stared in disbelief at Hiro who was standing before him. "How can your mother take a picture with Katashi Nakagawa?"

"Kathis? so he's also part of the Nakagawa family?" Hiro reflex shook Shima's shoulder. Until the body of the fat-haired man moves to follow the energy of his shock.

"Katashi is the richest businessman in Kyoto. Uh no, no! I think he's already one of the richest men in Japan. His power is increasing, because Katashi is now also in the political world." Shima told me what she knew. His pupils seemed enlarged, as the focus looked at Hiro who was pacing in front of him.

"Senpai, are you okay?" ask Shima who is worried. He paused for a moment to observe the agitated gurgle Hiro showed. "Did Katashi also resemble someone from your previous life?"

Hiro did not initially respond at all to Shima's question. He who had once walked back and forth, sat back beside Shima. Until he finally told her that Katashi was very similar to the man who had stuck a sword into his heart.

"How can you?" Shima widened both of her eyelids. Be surprised by the reality that Hiro has accepted.

"I knew. But to me this is like a signal to me Shima-Kun. If Hiro and I had a connected life." Hiro revealed what was on his mind. He was very sure of the guess.

"Ah right, I forgot to tell you about what Kogoro mentioned about your father." Shima suddenly recalled the conversation she had with her uncle last night.

"What?!" Hiro is excited to find out. He even tilted his head towards Shima.

"It's a little sad. You're okay, right?" reply Shima who seemed reluctant to tell. It was a bit difficult indeed, to convey bad news to someone. Moreover, it is about the fate of his own best friend's biological father.

Hiro gave a rude snort and guessed, "Is Hiro's father dead?"

Shima's eyes suddenly opened. "How did you know?" his question felt both shocked and amazed.

"Just guess. You see what else is sad besides death" Hiro replied as he stood up and walked out of the house. It was then that his eyeballs caught the appearance of Akira who had just returned.

Shima, who had been following, was already standing behind Hiro. He hurriedly hid the photo that Hiro had given him into his pants pocket. Shima whispered, "Senpai, you better keep secret about what we already know from Akira."

Hiro nodded slowly. "I think so too. I know we're both still considered little by him" replied Hiro who turned back to look at his mother.

Akira was seen galloping slowly while biting his lower lip. His face revealed a lethargic and tired expression. He immediately frowned when he witnessed the presence of his son. It seems that Akira is still angry at Hiro, as the son is not doing his school well.

"Be prepared! today I'll find you a new school!" said Akira, then just meringus into the house. But Hiro even stepped foot towards the gate. Clearly, he ignored Akira's orders.

"Senpai, what are you-"

"Come on! we can't delay any more. I can't wait to know so much about Takeda!" hiro said, deliberately cutting off Shima's words. Then continue his way out of the yard of the house.
