The same day as the previous chapter at the abandoned warehouse in Kanagawa, 3:30 P.M
We're back, Tatsuhiro! Spinner said enthusiastically.
How are you doing here? What did you do while we're away? Granger asks sincerely.
We bought you some food too! Spinner said enthusiastically.
I did what you asked me to do earlier and I have also slept for a moment. In fact, I just woke up right at this moment. Tatsuhiro said coldly Thanks, Spinner...give it here. Tatsuhiro said appreciatively.
Any updates? Granger asks expectantly.
Yes! Where should we start? Information about Sakurazaka Highschool or Apartment complexes near the school? Tatsuhiro asks coldly.
Let's start with the information about the school. Granger said authoritatively.
Alright! Basically, Sakurazaka Highschool accomodates a total of 1,500 students...they have 32 teachers and over 20 personnels. The school is popular for their quality education, state of the art facilities, fun and collaborative events, and sports clubs. The time of the start of their school hours is 8:00 A.M and ends at 1:30 P.M. Tatsuhiro said confidently.
That dimishes our list of targets from the entire Kanagawa to the entire Sakurazaka Highschool's 1,500 students. Granger said coldly.
"If I were to take the information in the articles into account, I am pretty sure that if they are around 16-17 years old they're probably in 3rd year right now...this will also help us further dimish the list of targets." Granger taught to herself, adjusting her shades.
Do you somehow acquired any information about the number of students enrolled as 3rd years this year? Granger asks coldly.
Yes, I somehow managed to get my hands on that too! Tatsuhiro said sarcastically This year, the number of 3rd year students are approximately 468 people. Tatsuhiro said coldly.
468, alright... we're down to 468! The list of targets further diminishes because of that information, From the entire population of Kanagawa to The entire Sakurazaka Highschool enrollees this year to the 468 3rd year students. Great job, Tatsuhiro! Granger said authoritatively, adjusting her shades.
Small things, that's nothing! Tatsuhiro said sarcastically.
Next, the apartment complexes...any updates? Granger asks expectantly.
Yes, I have also found something regarding to that. Tatsuhiro said coldly There are a definitely a lot of apartments in the area but the nearest ones are this apartment complexes...One located 1 kilometer away from Sakurazaka Highschool and the other way is located one intersection away from Sakurazaka Highschool, I'll send you their location. Tatsuhiro said coldly.
"I am pretty sure that the Harmony Duo is living in one of this apartments, I can deduce that they chose a spot to live not too near but also not too far of the school this place also acts as their base of operation where they plan their bombing attacks and make their self made bombs... they're probably using the school as an instrument to avoid suspicions by disguising like any normal civilian to blend in. So, they're probably pick one where they can go to school immediately while also being a bit away on its location to show the people that they are just mormal students." Granger taught to herself, adjusting her shades.
Do you have the names of the people living in each apartment? Granger asks coldly.
Unfortunately, I do not have that information. Tatsuhiro said coldly.
Very well, there's only one problem left for us before we start the hunt! Listen well, you two! Granger said authoritatively.
My ears are all yours. Tatsuhiro said sarcastically.
I am listening, Madame! Spinner said enthusiastically.
We have already narrowed down the list of our targets, I assume that our targets are living in one of the said apartments by Tatsuhiro! So, I have taught of a way to know the identity of those people that are living there. Granger said authoritatively.
What's on your mind, Madame? Tatsuhiro asks curiously.
We're going to infiltrate both of the apartments! We're going to disguise ourselves as ordinary civilians, all in order to find the Harmony Duo. Me and Spinner will live in the apartment 1 kilometer away from Sakurazaka while you Tatsuhiro will live in the apartment 1 intersection away from Sakurazaka. Remember, our targets are two teenage boys around 16-17 years of age and are highschool students from Sakurazaka Highschool, If you have seen any clear signs of those from the tenants make sure to notify me! After we've found them, we'll start planning for our move...as to how we will hunt them and how we will claim their bounties and their heads, we're obviously not up against two ordinary teenagers...so, make sure to keep your guard up everytime! That's all! Granger said authoritatively Any objections or clarifications? Granger asks coldly, adjusting her shades.
I am up for this! This will definitely be fun and for a little while, I will have a freedom to be alone! Tatsuhiro said enthusiastically.
I am on board, Madame! Spinner said enthusiastically.
Good, then you may rest now! I'll take care of the rest especially our move into those apartments. Granger said authoritatively Before, anything else... Tatsuhiro! I have one last assignment for you today. Granger said coldly.
Alright, what do you want me to do? Tatsuhiro said coldly, letting out a sigh.
Lend me your ear! Granger said authoritatively.
Tatsuhiro leans and Granger whispered something to him.
Are you serious? Tatsuhiro asks sarcastically.
I am, I want it done as soon as possible. After that, you can also rest! Good luck, Tatsuhiro. Granger said authoritatively, a warm smile forming in her face.
Alright, got it. Tatsuhiro said sarcastically, unable to resist.
Thank you for everything today. Granger said appreciatively I am going to take my leave to arrange our lugging in those apartments. Granger said coldly.
"Seems like we're really going to meet ooner or later, Harmony Duo. Don't worry, your biunties won't be a waste if you let us collect it...and we'll make sure that if you gently surrender yourselves to us, you're deaths will be painless." Granger taught to herself, a subtle yes sinister grin forming in her face.
A few days later...
Let's go! We can't afford to be late at school now! Arata said coldly, frustration evident in his voice.
Yes! Coming, coming! No need to get so aggravated! Shinji said feigning annoyance.
You're slower than a turtle. Arata said sarcastically, adjusting his glasses.
What did you just said?! Shinj said feigning annoyance.
The door of the Tennant next door opens as they're about to walk past it.
Argh! Shit! Shinji said, completely shocked.
Arata and Shinji turned their attention to the Tennants who emerges out of the room.
I am sorry! Spinner said sincerely.
We're sorry, I'll make sure that she'll be careful next time! Granger said sincerely.
It's alright! After all, you didn't intentionally do that right? Shinji said enthusiastically.
A girl's uniform of Sakurazaka Highschool? Are you perhaps a new student? Arata asks Spinner coldly.
Yes! I just transferred! My name is Izumi! Nice to meet you! Spinner said enthusiastically.
I am Shinji and this four eyes here is Arata! Nice to meet you too! Shinji said enthusiastically.
I am also a new English Teacher at Sakurazaka Highschool. My name is Amane, Izumi's mother. Granger said coldly.
Nice to meet you too, Maam! Shinji said enthusiastically.
Well, I don't know the way...to Sakurazaka Highschool, can we join you on your way to school! Spinner said hesitantly.
Uhmm, it all depends to Arata... Shinji said hesitantly.
Sure, I have no problem with that. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.
"I feel weird towards this two...why do I feel murderous intent? Are they bounty hunters? Is there stay here planned or are they really just normal civilians? I'll observe them as we walk." Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR! Spinner said enthusiastically.
"This plan will surely be effective! Madame Granger, you're a real genius!" Spinner taught to herself.
Let's go then, We'll be late if we waste more time in here. Granger said authoritatively.
Right, Ma'am Amane. Arata said coldly.
Arata leads the way.
"First suspect acquired." Granger taught to herself.
Flashback, when Granger whispered something to Tatsuhiro...
Tatsuhiro, I want you to create us fake documents...fake our identity, our names, place of birth, everything. I'll use it to admit Spinner to Sakurazaka Highschool and get myself a position as a teacher there...So, that I can freely roam around and observe the students. Granger whispered authoritatively, adjusting her shades.
Going back to present...
"Everything's according to plan and I really hope that everything will move according to me." Granger taught to herself, adjusting her shades.
Arata's secretly observing Izumi and Amane.
"Maybe I was just being paranoid because of that bounty in our head...but, I am sure that I can feel something murderous about this two especially to the older woman... they're suspicious." Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses.
