Reincarnation: A Quite Revenge

Chapter 36 - Following Akira

Upon arriving home, Hiro immediately checked Shiro's situation. Shima's sister had fallen asleep in her room. Now Hiro's laying down his body onto the sofa. Look at the ceiling of the house in a moment.

Not long after, the sound of an open gate was heard. Hiro immediately changed his position to sit, his two eyeballs aimed towards the source of the sound. Akira was walking in the exact same dress as before.

Hiro was silent for a moment. After a few minutes, he soon caught up with Akira. Hiro opened the door abruptly, and managed to catch Akira sitting pensively while rubbing the corner of his eyes.

"hiro!" Akira is shocked by the arrival of the son. He stood up. "Where are you from?" he asked, amazed by his son who came home late at night.

"Am I not the one who should ask that?" reply Hiro while looking at Akira from toe to head.

Akira just grunted rudely. He picked up his bag, intending to go into the room. "You should be thinking about your school, Hiro. Don't mind what you're doing now!" clearly ambiguous. Then just mingle.

Despite having a temperament as a good mother, Akira has always been close to her son. He kept trying to keep something secret that he thought was not appropriate for Hiro to know. Especially about things that might disturb the peace of the son. Like her husband's past and also the problems that are in nature now.

...***...

The sun greeted with its light. Emitting a glittering light that pierced through the trees without foliage. Because most of the leaves have fallen to the ground. The cold even began to feel, indicating winter will soon arrive.

Hiro blinked his eyes, the smell of Akira's cooking pierced his sense of smell. He got out of bed and approached his mother.

"Mother not going to work?" Hiro. He intends to fish about the job Akira is in right now.

"Yes, I'll be leaving soon. Then you? how's the business going about your school?" sahut Akira, turn around.

"Mother take it easy, I'll be going to school soon!" hiro said while occupying a chair near the dining table. He looked at Akira who was standing behind him.

'He's at work in the morning? she's not a night woman. But why was Akira wearing such an exaggerated outfit? then why was he seen yesterday at the nightclub?' Hiro thought with slightly narrowed eyes. He felt a curious feeling that was not a bitch.

Hiro slowly turned his gaze to the window. His sight accidentally caught Shiro who had just walked out of the house. Hiro rushed over to the boy.

"Shiro, are you going to school?" hiro asked, who managed to stop Shiro's footsteps right in front of the gate.

"Mmmm!" Shiro nodded firmly.

"What you-"

"No need to worry about me. Uncle called this morning, he'll pick me up from school. Uncle also said that my brother was with him." Shiro explained before Hiro could ask.

"Thank God.." Hiro's response. One of his hands rubbed the top of Shiro's head slowly. Then let the child go.

After breakfast and cleaning up the house, Akira prepares to leave. While Hiro pretends to be busy with tools, which he says will be prepared for school.

When the time was right, Hiro rushed over wearing a black jacket. Not to forget also he wears a hat that has the same color with his jacket.

Hiro's footsteps were raised so as not to miss Akira. He occasionally hid if Akira stopped or looked back for no reason.

Until Akira arrived in front of a building with two levels. The woman pegged for a moment, staring at the building in front of her. Akira hesitated to get in there. At the end, he walked into the building.

Before he left, Hiro came in through the front door. But his movement stopped, when he saw Akira standing near the entrance. The woman seemed to be talking to someone. Hiro finally decided to look for another entrance.

Hiro observed the building that Akira entered. The building is unnamed and has a simple look. In addition, it is quite easy to enter, especially from the roof. After all, she didn't want Akira to know that she was following. Hiro then chose the road through the mini market that is next to the building.

The mini market is so quiet, it even has old goods that expire. The shopkeeper also looked sleepy. But it was a chance for Hiro. His hand deftly picked up one of the inari masks that happened to be lined up on the shelf. For this time, he was forced to steal because last night, Hiro forgot to take his wallet. Hana placed the wallet on a table near Shima's bed. Most likely the money has been exterminated by Kogoro or someone else. Moreover, the residents in Guree's apartment are mostly hand length.

Hiro climbed to the second floor of the mini market. He can do it easily, because the ladder is outside. The mask covered his face. The hood of the jacket also does not forget to use to cover the head area. Now just go to the next building, where Akira is.

By stepping back first, Hiro was able to reach the building across with a leap. The distance was not so far away, making his leap a great success. Without a second thought, he put his foot into the building.

The sighting of a passageway immediately greeted Hiro's view. On the right and left side of the hallway there are several doors, which indicates that the place has enough room. The lights there are also a bit dim, but not dying like the lights in Guree's apartment.

Slowly Hiro's ears could hear the noise from the direction of the lower floors. He automatically made the noise as a clue.

When he had just descended the stairs, Hiro could watch from a distance a room with two doors. There were about five people holding video recording equipment. One of them was a man who had been nagging Akira last night.

Surprisingly all the windows in the building were all closed. As if they did it intentionally. The lighting is only using white lights in the room. The people in the room looked busy as well. Hence since then, no one had yet realized Hiro's presence.

'What is this place? and where is Akira?' hiro's mind wondered. He hides behind a medium-sized bonsai houseplant.

Hiro's eyes were actually still unable to watch everyone in the room. Because his eyesight was blocked, due to one of the doors that slowly closed itself. As a result he tried to gallop closer, in order to see more clearly.

Hiro is behind the door. Observing the side he hadn't seen since. He peeked through the sidelines that were on the door hinges.

Hiro's pupils dilated. From behind that inari mask he showed his shocked expression. Because he was watching Akira was also in the room. Next to him was a naked stranger. Both were listening to a man's instructions.

'Wait, why are there so many things like surveillance cameras? what do they want?' Hiro who does not understand the world of film at all, certainly does not understand.
