The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

As the sun completely disappeared into the deep sea, night fell and the rain began to fall.

The rain was pouring down when suddenly a terrifying clap of thunder exploded in the sky. Instead of the dark clouds above, a streak of fire shot into the sky.

In the bustling city center, many people gathered around to watch the spectacle, thinking that something had been damaged by lightning.

When some people get closer and see the burning car, their excitement is quickly suppressed by a group of people in suits, turning into a panic even greater than when they heard thunder.

The enthusiasm that even the rain couldn't dampen was instantly extinguished.

People are not afraid of the might of Heaven, but they are even more afraid of this person in black!

They dared not get too close, only watching from a distance; it seemed those gangsters were hunting someone.

Surprisingly, the side with the greater numbers did not gain the upper hand. One by one, the people forming the encirclement fell down. Finally, the person who was surrounded broke through the human wall and braved the torrential rain to leave.

……

……

Harufumi Hino ran wildly down the street, took out his phone, and instinctively dialed a number, but the line went dead and the call couldn't be connected.

He immediately realized he had made a stupid mistake and threw his phone into the nearby trash can.

Few people knew that Harufumi Hino was leaving Tokyo today, and his itinerary had already been arranged.

If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have died when the car exploded. The fact that I escaped the explosion and that the gangsters arrived so quickly means that there was definitely a mole involved in today's events.

Before knowing who to trust, rashly contacting someone might just lead you into a trap.

Who did this?

Harufumi Hino turned into an alley, stood still for a while, and felt only pain.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, pushed open the door of a house, and, under the innocent, terrified gaze of the homeowner, knocked him down and whispered, "Can I borrow your phone? I'll leave right away after I make the call."

Picking up the microphone, Hino Harufumi hesitated again.

At this moment, who could he trust? Naoto Daimon, Daichi Suruga, or the young master?

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from the inner lining of his coat, on which was written a phone number.

Fortunately, the ink on the paper did not smudge due to the rain.

He entered the number and waited for a while, until the call was almost disconnected by the system, before it finally connected.

"Hello," came Kirihara Akira's voice from the other end.

He said, "I am Hino Harufumi."

After a moment of silence, someone said, "Brother Hino Harufumi, you contacted me so quickly."

Hino Harufumi said in a deep voice, "To make a long story short, I'm being chased."

"I heard about the bombing," Kirihara Akira said. "Who did it?"

"I don't know, but there must be a mole inside."

Kirihara Akira paused for a moment, then asked, "To rephrase the question, who do you suspect?"

"Naoto Daimon, my younger brother, specifically took the gun from me before the incident. He probably knew which way I was going to go."

Kirihara Akira said, "Such a big incident, and you only suspect one of your own junior brothers?"

"The driver was someone he arranged, and my route was temporarily changed, so he is the prime suspect."

Even through the microphone, Hino Harufumi could hear the sarcasm in Kirihara Akira's voice: "You shouldn't be playing such a naive and foolish character."

Harufumi Hino rubbed his reddened eyes repeatedly, but his movements and tone remained calm. He said, "I don't believe Father did this. He has no reason to kill me."

Kirihara Akira cut to the chase: "Then why would your younger brother kill his older brother, who was trying to leave Tokyo and had no conflict of interest with him?"

Harufumi Hino had no rebuttal.

"Don't waste your time. If you really trusted them, you wouldn't have called me in the first place," Kirihara Akira said bluntly. "I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Hino Harufumi took a deep breath and said, "I didn't come here to ask for your help."

Kirihara Akira, on the other end, asked in confusion, "Then what do you mean? What are you thinking?"

Hino Harufumi didn't know what to say for a moment, so Kirihara Akira continued to press: "My previous offer remains the same, without any additional demands. In return, I will do everything I can to help you escape the pursuit."

"What methods can you think of?" Hino Harufumi asked casually.

"The police," Kirihara Akira said, "the only people you can trust right now are the police. You have to listen to me, and I'll get the police to pick you up and get you out of danger."

Hino Harufumi paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "You probably don't understand people in my line of work."

Kirihara Akira asked, "Is your life more important, or your principles?"

"Don't bother anymore. Someone like me can't rely on the police," Hino Harufumi said decisively. "I don't accept your suggestion, but... you want to know some information, right? I'll give you some information right now."

"Why are you giving this to me?" Kirihara Akira asked, puzzled.

"Without your reminder, I probably would have been blown to bits without even knowing it, and died an unjust death." Hino Harufumi took out a cigarette, only to find it was already soaked by the rain, so he had to give up. "I'll give you the information I can as a way of repaying your kindness. When you have some free time, go to the Period Bar, find the owner Marina, give her my name, and say you want to pick up something. She'll tell you what you want to know."

Kirihara Akira frowned and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Find a way to survive, and then end it all."

After saying that, Hino Harufumi hung up the phone without hesitation.

......

......

Kirihara Akira frowned as she listened to the busy tone on her phone.

To some extent, he understood Hino Harufumi's thoughts.

If gangsters accept police "protection," it will almost certainly be seen as a betrayal of the entire organization, and their gangster career will be over, and their lives will be cut short as well.

As for Kirihara Akira's reminder, what kind of favor was that? He just said something ambiguous and pointless, and it just so happened that his pointless statement came true.

What's the next step?

Should we try to save him? It seems impossible now. First, he would never accept the police's "protection," which means he can't use Kisaragi Shiori's connections to make a move.

Normally, he might try to help, but now that his car has exploded in a busy area, things are bound to escalate, and it would be too risky for him to show his face at this time.

The safest option right now is to watch Hino Harufumi die.

Kirihara Akira stood there for a while, thinking, and finally made a decision.

He walked towards his room and bumped into Asahi Kasane on the way.

Asahi Kasano bowed and said, "Good evening, young master. What's wrong? You seem to be in a hurry."

Kirihara Akatsuki didn't want to say much, but after a moment's thought, she stopped and asked, "Is the young lady asleep?"

"I just lay down."

Kirihara Akira said, "I'm going out now."

"Hmm, is it something I can't tell the young lady about when I go out?"

Although it sounds strange, it makes sense... Kirihara Akira nodded and said, "It's nothing serious, I'll be back soon. I told her in advance, but to avoid disturbing her rest, don't mention it unless she asks."

"Understood."

"Also, I'm going somewhere later. If..." Kirihara Akira glanced at the time on her phone and said, "If I don't send you a message in half an hour, then please forward this message to this number for me."

Asahi Kasano's expression was complicated as he said, "After what happened last time, you still dare to trust me and ask me to do something like this?"

"I trust you, thank you for your help."

"I will definitely do it. It's raining so hard outside, please be careful."

Kirihara Akira hurriedly went back into the house to grab a backpack, and then went out.

......

Asahi Kasano turned her head, she saw the second young lady leaning against a support pillar with her arms crossed, staring at her intently.

Mori Kiyoha asked coldly, "What did he say to you?"
