The same day as the previous chapter at Sakurazaka Highschool's Faculty Room, 2:00 P.M.
"A double video release? Right after their 2 week hiatus? That's a new tactic...I didn't anticipate this to happen. This case has been getting crazier and crazier as the days goes by. First, the imposter video or should I say the "real culprit's" video whatsoever and now, a double video clue? Who exactly are this two?" Takahiro taught to himself, scratching his head.
Dad, are you listening? You are spacing out again! Haruko said followed by a pout.
Oh, sorry...that was my bad. Takahiro said with wary expression and he clears his throat Let's watch the two videos, let's start with this one...the first one that got uploaded. Takahiro said coldly Stay focused, Sweetie. Takahiro said calmly as he pats his daughter's head.
Of course, Dad! Anyways, let's go and watch...we can't afford to waste more time some people might be in a grave danger as of this moment! Haruko said with a serious expression, adjusting her glasses.
You are right... Takahiro said coldly, playing the video in his phone.
Wait, Dad! What if we split up? You watch the second video and I will watch the first video, so that we can come up with an answer immediately. Haruko suggested, adjusting her glasses.
Are you sure you can handle it? Takahiro said coldly.
I don't know but I can try! Haruko said with a newfound determination.
You really are our daughter. Takahiro said coldly as he gently pat her head, he clears his throat Let's do that, Sweetie! Remember, focus on the video not just your eyes and ears but also your mind analyze it carefully. Takahiro said coldly.
Yes, Dad! Haruko said enthusiastically, playfully elbowing her Dad.
Haruko played the video...
Greetings, People of Japan! Or maybe even People of the World! The white masked man said playfully Man, it's been 2 weeks since our last appearance! The white masked man said, letting out a sigh.
Did you guys missed us? Well, fret not! The black masked man said coldly.
Because we planted another bomb in a certain location, God-knows-where! They said in unison.
Both of them chuckles.
Now, now! I want to go to a University! Let's take a stroll! The white masked man said, acting like a child.
A university? Well, there's a few university that lets people enter for sight seeing and such... Let's go to one later! The black masked man said feigning cheerfulness then lets out a sigh.
Yey! Yey! Where are we going?! The white masked man said playfully.
In Kanagawa...The black masked man said coldly.
Alright! See you later at 2:30 P.M! The white masked man said enthusiastically Oopps, we're still on camera! He lets out a laugh.
Anyways! I am Harmony ends with "Y"! The white masked man said cheerfully.
I am Harmoni ends with "I". The black masked man said coldly, letting out a sigh of defeat.
PEACE OUT! they said in unison.
The video ends there.
"2:30 P.M? That's probably a hint of what time they are going to detonate the bomb, I am sure of it. Moreover, University? University that lets outsiders in? I can already rule out the possibilities, The only universities like that are State Universities. But, Where? What State University? There's a lot of it in Kanagawa we'll run out of time if we tried to look and inspect each one of it! So, where exactly is it? Wait, Kanagawa...the black masked one said "In Kanagawa" even though they're here in Kanagawa evident in that first ever video clue they've released...so why? Why did they use that kind of sentence structure? Is that some kind of clue? Wait...Kanagawa University...Kanagawa University is inside Kanagawa prefecture...and also a state university...that black masked man also seems like he initially hold himself back of continuing the sentence...is that the reason why he said "In Kanagawa"? That was the only option and the only lead! That's the closest one...is that really it? Why do I feel like I am being played?" Haruko taught to herself, adjusting her glasses.
Haruko looks at the time in her cellphone.
It's already 2:04 P.M, we're running out of time...we only have 26 minutes left. Haruko mutters to herself calmly yet wariness is evident in her face, letting out a sigh.
Takahiro just looks at her with a stern expression, letting out a warm smile.
"She's really my daughter." Takahiro said with a smirk.
Takahiro then turned his attention to his phone and then played the second video.
A pleasant afternoon, Japanese Citizens! And maybe even People of the World! The white masked man said playfully.
Did you missed us? Well, Do not fret! The black masked man said feigning coldness.
Because, we have planted another bomb elsewhere! They've said in unison.
Hmmm, I guess it's in an international airplane in one of the airplanes that will depart later in Kanagawa! The white masked man said playfully.
Hm, I wonder where it is? What airplane? What's the flight number?! The black masked man said coldly but there is a hint of playfulness in his voice.
What time is it right now? The white masked man asks.
1:26 no, 1:27. 1:26 just ended and 1:27 just started. The black masked man said coldly.
See you later at 2:30! Peace out! They said in unison.
The video ended.
"This video...is clearly made by a mimicker, an imposter. There's a lot of inconsistency in this video, First of all, their accent...the real ones have pure japanese accent this one seems to have an English accent even if they tried to conceal that fact and mimick the real ones their are still some cracks. Second of all, their choice of words...they are somewhat formal and straightforwad, the real ones is more of a playful more teenage choice of words and demeanor. Last but not the least, they gave away the location of the bomb immediately which is a mistake that the real deal won't make because they intend to mess with the minds of the authorities they gave away the location immediately, in an international airport here in Kanagawa prefecture and there is only one international airport here in Kanagawa the "Kanagawa International Airlines" the only question is what is the flight number? what airplane are they trying to blow up? tsk..." Takahiro taught to himself, letting out a sigh and scratches his head.
Takahiro takes a look in the time at his cellphone.
2:09 P.M, HUH? We are running out if time. Takahiro said calmly Haruko, let's share intel! Immediately! Takahiro said authoritatively.
Yes, Dad! Right away! Haruko said, she clears her throat I believe the location of the bomb is in the Kanagawa University. Because that is the only location that points in every clue that they gave in the video! And that is also the ideal location because right now the university is scheduled to a pest control so there are no teachers and students in the school right now except for the principal and some personnels also the pest control team themselves. Haruko said urgency evident in her voice, she adjusts her glasses.
"I am not sure but there is no time to waste anymore, we might as well try! They've literally played me right now! Shit!" Haruko taught to herself as she tries to compose herself.
Mine is in Kanagawa International Airlines! I will give a call to Superintendent Kuriyama, Right away! Takahiro said, frustration evident in his voice.
"Why? Why 2:30 same time? Is this really a coincidence? Is there a bigger syndicate at play? Or is this really a work of an imposter? More importantly, why are they going to bomb a plane? A lot of people will get killed! Are they serious about this? A lot of questions are raising in my mind! But, I have to respond to this situation immediately! Time is running out!" Takahiro taught to himself, as he grit his teeth.
He immediately dials Superintendent Kuriyama's number. After moments of waiting, Superintendent Kuriyama finally answered the phone call.
Hello, Takahiro? Superintendent Kuriyama said expectantly.
Hello, Kuriyama? I have an intel for you...me and Haruko have solved the double video riddles! Takahiro said coldly.
Meanwhile, in the same cafe from the previous chapter, 2:11 P.M.
The second video ended.
So, that's it? Shinji said, holding up his laughter I can't believe it, the people she sends to mimic us is basically morons. Shinji said mockingly, letting out a mocking laugh.
Yes, you found your people. Congratulations! Arata said sarcastically.
What was that for? Shinji said feigning annoyance.
Kaori just chuckles.
Anyways, what about the video? Have you solved ut already, Arata? Kaori asks curiously.
They gave away the location of the bombs immediately, I already know the location of the bombs probably in "Kanagawa International Airlines" I am sure of it. As of the flight number of which airplane they are trying to bomb, that I don't know. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.
"Where could it be? What is the flight number? That's the biggest question right now...I need to find an answer or else it will be too late and it will tarnish our reputation if some people died because they used our names and signature moves! I need to find an answer, quick!" Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses while maintaining a composed facade even though his mind is raising.
The flight number...Kaori repeats I think, I might know the answer. Kaori said with a confident tone.
You solved the mystery of the unknown flight number? Shinji said enthusiastically.
Really? Then what do you think is the answer? Arata said coldly.
Something that starts with 127 and ends with 126... Isn't that odd? If someone ask you about the time you'll normally answer in what you have seen when you look at the time, but they didn't do that instead they...I don't know what to describe. Kaori said calmly.
Wait... Realization hits Arata You might be right, Good job! Arata said enthusiastically.
Wow, you seem to be energetic for a few seconds there! Shinji said sarcastically.
Shut up! Arata said coldly Anyways, do you have any tools there? For you know what. Arata adds, adjusting his glasses.
Don't tell me that you are trying to defuse the bombs... Shinji said hesitantly.
You are quick to catch on surprisingly and... You're going to join me. Arata said coldly.
Oh, this will be fun! Shinji said, excitement evident in his face.
Kaori, go to the MPD office and see how they'll react to the situation. While the two of us will try to look for the bomb and defuse it. Arata said authoritatively.
Understood! But, what if there is a lot of it? Kaori asks warily.
I can anticipate that they will set the bombs in the engines of the plane it's in order to have a larger explosion causing to have a strong impact. I am pretty sure that they set one bomb each engine, so that it will be blown into ashes real quick. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.
I have a scissors here! Shinji said enthusiastically.
Good, let's get going! Arata said authoritatively, standing up on his seat and immediately runs outside.
There he goes again, leaving me behind and running on his own! Shinji said feigning annoyance Go to the headquarters of MPD as Arata instructed okay? Be careful, Kaori. Shinji said, rushing out of the cafe.
I should be the one who's saying that, Moron. Kaori said, letting out a sigh.
In the streets...
Hey, wait for me! Shinji said, clearly annoyed now.
"I won't let you succeed on your plan, Angeline. I won't ever let you do a thing!" Arata taught to himself, determination evident in his face.
In the CIA's secret hideout at 2:14 P.M
I can anticipate that Arata have finally come to a conclusion right now... Angeline said enthusiastically.
You think so? Donovan asks coldly.
Angeline chuckles.
You have gained an access to the security cameras of the airline right? Angeline asks one of her CIA Agents coldly.
Yes, ma'am! Exactly as you instructed, We have just gained access in the cameras and are about to present it in our monitors. He said confidently.
Very good, do it now! Angeline orders coldly.
"Third phase of the plan will finally commence, now... let's see what you will do about it, Arata." Angeline taught to herself, an arrogant smirk forming in her face.
"We're almost there, IN THE FINALE!"
