Before the police arrived, Fujiwara Yuu put the documents he found into his pocket, then easily climbed over the wall and exited the same way he came. When he left, he did not forget to erase all his traces, which is what an agent must do after sneaking into the target house.

He carefully drove around all areas where surveillance might be located, opened the back door, got in, took off his black cap, and said,

"White, take me back to the hotel. You should also go back and have a good rest. I don't have any tasks for you for now."

"Yes, sir."

It has become Fujiwara Yu's habit to close his eyes the entire time in the elevator when returning to Haido Town from Chiba Prefecture. The first thing he did when he arrived at his room door was to check if there were any signs of intrusion. Only after confirming that there was no problem did he open the door and walk into the room. At the same time, he was thinking that he couldn't stay in one hotel for too long, and he would have to change to another one after a while.

After washing hands, disinfecting, and changing into indoor home clothes, Fujiwara Yu squatted on the sofa with his laptop in his arms. After registering a new email account, he sent emails to a complex series of mailboxes.

The content of the email was very brief, consisting of only a line of numbers with symbols. If you didn't know, you would think it was garbled code.

1-2-940.

After sending the email, he logged out of the email account. Fujiwara Yu originally wanted to call Teacher Elfret, but when he thought that it was already past midnight in the United States and it might disturb the teacher's sleep, he gave up the idea.

He stood up and ordered a simple meal for himself using the room phone, waiting silently for the agreed time.

——

Beika-cho 9-chome 47 is a famous izakaya street, and the owners of these izakayas seem to have agreed to stay closed during the day. These izakayas are open from sunset to sunrise, so their hours vary from day to day, especially in summer and winter.

Moreover, they have an excuse to close down when there is no sun. It is a very capricious street.

Fujiwara Yu's destination was here. To be more precise, he was heading to the back alley of the izakaya street. After parking his motorcycle, he didn't rush to the back alley. After checking the time on his watch, he leaned against the motorcycle and smoked a cigarette.

The cigarette was extinguished after just two puffs. As a decent citizen, he naturally did not throw the cigarette butt away casually, but chose to put it in a transparent sealed bag and take it away with him.

Seeing that the time was approaching the agreed time of 21:40, Fujiwara Yu did not linger by the motorcycle any longer. He looked around to make sure that he was not being followed or monitored, then he started walking towards the back alley of the izakaya street.

The moment he stepped into the alley, he was met with a pair of deep eyes. The slightly scrutinizing look did not make him feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt that it was normal for the other party to observe him after not seeing him for a long time.

"You've changed a lot, Claire."

"You haven't changed at all. This is a gift for you. Please accept it."

The other party took the thick document bag, raised his brows slightly, and his tone was inevitably mixed with some incomprehensible meaning:

"It's been a long time since we last met, but I give you such a gift. Claire, you've grown up."

"Well, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"them……"

Fujiwara Yuu didn't continue listening, but turned around and waved his hand, interrupting:

"I'll bring you other gifts next time we meet. I won't accept your gift because I already have one."

The man standing in the shadows rarely showed a look of surprise, but considering that the other party had been in the country for some time, he felt that this was nothing to be surprised about. You know, Claire's intelligence gathering ability is very strong.

Thinking of their first meeting a few years ago, the man chuckled and stuffed the document bag into his arms, lowered the brim of his hat and walked towards the car not far away. He couldn't show himself in public now.

After leaving the back alley, Fujiwara Yu got on his motorcycle and rode away. It was not known whether it was really on his way or he wanted to go back to his former residence. When he came to his senses, he had already arrived at the door of Fujiwara's house.

He took off his motorcycle helmet and looked towards the cherry tree in the direction of the archery field. October was certainly not the flowering season for the tree, and the bare cherry tree was not very beautiful. It was so ordinary that it was hard to tell that it was a cherry tree.

——"If the speed of cherry blossoms falling is five centimeters per second, how long will it take for two hearts to grow closer?"

Suddenly, a famous quote from "5 Centimeters per Second" emerged in my mind. In the past, Fujiwara Yu did not understand the meaning of this sentence because he had never experienced unforgettable love and therefore had no sense of resonance.

But now, he thought he understood what Shinkai Makoto wanted to express.

Only by reaching out and striving for it can you know the pain of not being able to grasp it.

The only thing more painful than not being able to hold on is having already held on but having to let go due to some factors, making the thing you finally held on to get farther and farther away from you.

Fujiwara Yuu looked at the bare cherry tree silently, thinking of the confession he had not been able to send and the broken promise he had made to her. Of course, this was not the most important thing for him at this stage.

Because what he wanted to know most was the identity of Miyano Akemi. Was she really standing against him?

He put on his motorcycle helmet again, put away his complicated emotions, and set off again.

Returning to the room of Beido Zunhao Hotel, he took off his clothes and took a warm bath as usual, changed into pajamas, leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Thinking about what happened today, he wondered if Kyoko Nakahara was protected. She should have the transaction records between Yosuke Shimokawa and the organization on her.
