Ai's Personal Story
Ai: …….
I suddenly opened my eyes at the sound of repeated vibrations. Before I could think about how long it had been muted, I tentatively reached for my ringing smartphone.
Ai: (...... Riku-san?)
Good work today.
Riku: "Oh, were you sleeping? Sorry for waking you."
Ai: I'm just working in the office. Calling me at this hour, what's the matter?
Riku: "Ah, that’s a bad boy behavior. I'm glad I called."
Ai: Excuse me?
Riku: "Just a surprise check-up."
"Yuzuru is off today, so I don’t think there’s a situation you need to say something like ‘You go home, I’ll do the same.’ Thus, I figured you might still be there.”
Ai: I see……
Riku: "After 1 AM on a weekday it’s bedtime for adults, you know? I'm already sleepy here."
Ai: Then don't just go and make random call like this. Please get some rest.
Riku: "I know you’re sleepy too, Ai. Enough to accidentally doze off in the middle of work."
Ai: No, I wasn’t.
Riku: "Your voice sounded like you'd just woken up, though."
Ai: …………….
Riku-san laughed as I remained silent. In his voice, I could hear the quiet sound of slippers lightly scraping the floor. I vaguely felt a sense of relief, realizing that even someone as busy as him was home at this time.
Riku: "Since Ai is still here at this hour, it must be work that can't be done tomorrow. Is it so bad that you can't even get a nap?"
Ai: I'm almost done, so I'll go home once I'm finished.
Riku: "If you're almost done, why don’t you get some sleep before then?"
Ai: Understood. Good night.
Riku: "You don't really mean that, do you? Are you feeling alright?"
Ai: Nothing’s wrong, sir.
Riku: "Are you able to sleep when you really want to?"
Ai: ......What’s this? Medical examination?
Riku: "Like I've said many times, I'm not a doctor. Just someone who’s worried about you."
"The same way Ai cares about Yuzuru, Kou, and everyone in Aporia."
Ai: ……………….And I'm sure I've told you a few times.
If anything happens, I'll consult with Riku-san.
Riku: "So you're okay now?"
Ai: Yes, I am.
Riku: "Good. I'll hang up now, but if you plan to keep going, just take a nap first."
"When I imagined you rubbing your sleepy eyes while working, I got so worried that it’s really hard to sleep soundly.”
Ai: I don't have such delicate nerves, do I?
Riku: "I’m just a cheeky adult who’s concerned about sensitive young people, unlike myself.”
Ai: Need I remind you that we’re only 3 years apart? There's no difference between two people over 20 that warrants such a distinction. There's no need to worry, please just go get some rest.
......Like I said. Understood.
Riku: "Oh. Now that's a response from someone who actually understands."
Riku-san laughed again and wished me a good night as if to seal the deal. That’s when the call ended.
Ai: (That call seriously woke me up to some extent. But if I keep going like this, it will be over by morning...)
(Indeed, continuing to work while efficiency is low is nothing but a waste.)
Ai: (30 minutes... Well, I guess an hour will do.)
Ai: …….
The moment I set the timer and lay down on the sofa, my body suddenly felt heavy. The bracelet on my wrist came into my vision, and before I could even think about taking it off, my eyelids drooped.
Ai: (......Ah. I need to talk to Riku-san about next week's shifts. I should have asked him on the phone earlier.)
(Well, whatever. I'll probably have a chance to talk to him at some point tomorrow. Even if it's not for work, he'll probably call me for some reason...)
…………
A quick-witted, caring, and sociable person. Always concerned about those around him, naturally offering support. He doesn't mind doing things "for someone else" at all. Even though that’s his nature, there's no denying that he cares about me in a special way.
Ai: (......There's nothing for Riku-san to gain from this at all.)
No matter how many times I think about it, I can't understand. However, no matter how much I ponder, I don't think I can understand everything about Riku-san.
Ai: (......”That's just how others are”......)
Kosaka’s Father: ......That's why…. Not being able to understand each other isn't a reason to give up.
In the corner of my increasingly uncertain consciousness, I heard a voice that revived without a need to search for it.
I felt relieved that I could still remember.
Kosaka’s Father: Humans cannot live alone. Nothing can be accomplished alone. I believe that individuals are part of what constitutes things.
Therefore, I want to aim to live with other people.
As someone involved in the politics of this country. As someone entrusted with a part of everyone’s future...
I want to be sincere to others, and to myself. That has always been on my mind.
He was full of pride. I wanted to carry on his legacy. Precisely because I hoped so…..
???: "......I can imagine you're confused by the sudden news. I'm really sorry to say this at a time like this, but..."
"A note from Kosaka sensei and his wife was found at their home after their passing."
Ai: …….Huh…..?
"I am deeply ashamed to leave like this without fulfilling my responsibility to explain."
"Kosaka Ai has absolutely no involvement in this matter."
"--Ai. I'm really sorry."
Riku: It's okay to have doubt, Ai. To make up for that, I will believe.
Ai: ….Eh?
Riku: Your father isn't the kind of person who would do something that would make you lose your pride. No matter what Ai thinks, that's what I believe.
Ai: ……..
Riku: If you think, "I'm the only one who has to believe," I advise you to stop.
"I want to believe" is enough.
The words I heard with my own ears. The facts I've seen with my own eyes. I don’t believe what I've been proud of was a lie. I want to believe. That’s why I'll ascertain it. I won't entrust it to anyone. I won't give in. Even if the day comes when I'm betrayed by the consequences of this choice, I don't care. Rather than doubting my own pride and regretting not being able to fully believe— I'd much rather be ridiculed and told, "You were a fool to believe."
Ai: (………………Ah.)
The scent was different from both the bedroom and the living room, reminding me that this was the office. Just as I was about to check the time, I felt something running down my cheek as I reached out my hand.
Ai: …….
I wiped it off like nothing before turning off the timer, which had 5 minutes remaining. Just when I stood up…… I noticed something was wrong.
Ai: (......Is anyone there?)
Ai: ! Riku-san......?
Riku: Oh. Rise and shine.
Ai: What exactly are you doing?
Riku: Call it two-factor authentication.
Ai: Excuse me?
Riku: I just happened to be near Shibuya when I called earlier, so I dropped by just to see Ai completely asleep.
Since I had come all this way, I thought I might as well make a quick visit and go home. So I waited while doing some work.
Ai: No matter how I listened to it, that definitely sounded like a call from home.
Riku: Did I lie? It's still nearby, right? Just one train stop away.
Ai: Haaah... The trains have already stopped operating, don’t tell me you came all the way here by taxi?
Riku: Nope, it was the car I borrowed from Kiho. I was actually planning to return it tomorrow.
Ai: If you're coming, please let me know next time. What would you have gained if I had already left?
Riku: Then it wouldn't be a surprise inspection, would it? I mean, if you weren't here, I would probably be like, "Alright, he's not here."
Ah. I already replied to the questions Mika had on the core members' channel. Also, the meeting scheduling Yuzuru had been checking on, and a few other things—I answered what I could.
I've mentioned Ai too, but let me take over anyway. Only speak up when you have something to say, okay?
Ai: (......So you've pretty much cleared everything.)
Understood. Thank you.
Riku: Now what's left?
Ai: I have a contract-related matter I want to finish by tonight. It can be done in an hour.
Riku: Okay. Can I do some completely unrelated work here until that's finished?
Ai: I'll really go home in an hour even without you supervising me.
Riku: It’s more like for the sake of having you keep an eye on me. I tend to slack off at home, you see.
Ai: ......Do whatever you want.
Riku: Many thanks.
Ai: Haah….
Riku: Were you dreaming about something?
Ai: Huh?
Riku: When I peeked in, you were mumbling something unusual in your sleep.
Ai: …Not really.
Riku: I see.
Are you okay?
Ai: What do you mean?
Riku: I just asked because I was worried. Don't lie now. You’re going to make this even more confusing.
Ai: I’m really okay.
Riku: That's good to hear.
Well, even if you didn't say anything, I’d meddle anyway if it looked like it wasn't okay to me.
Either way is fine. Do what you feel like.
Ai: ……….
I see. Understood.
Riku: That's not a very understanding tone.
Ai: I understood that I was told I could do whatever I want and relied on you if I must. And that’s exactly what I'm doing.
Other than that, I still don't understand.
Riku: What do you mean by "other than that"?
Ai: I don't know what you were thinking when you made that promise.
Riku: ......You think I have ulterior motive?
Ai: I'm saying this because that very possibility seems unlikely.
Riku: Haha.
Well, it goes both ways. There are plenty of times when I don't know what Ai is thinking either.
Ai: You’re the last person I want to hear that from.
Riku: I said what I said. I really don't understand people at all.
There's no way a person who desperately wants to understand everything can possibly understand everything, right?
Ai: ..... I guess so.
Riku: That's why it's okay.
After that one unclear comment, a person sitting diagonally across from me began to type in a relaxed manner. Listening to it, I picked up the cup I'd forgotten to put away and headed to the sink. The stain remaining at the bottom of the empty cup wouldn't come off even after rinsing.
Kyoya SR
Time for myself
Part 1
Ito: Ugh…..
A stinging pain ran through my heels, and halted my feet from moving.
Ito: (…A blister. It's only at times like these that I don't have a bandage with me…)
I always keep one in my everyday bag, but today I just happened to change my bag to match my new shoes. Since I didn't plan on going far, I only brought the bare necessities.
Ito: (…I seriously messed up.) (Next time I'll make sure to carry bandage with me…) ???: Yashiro-san? Ito: Y-Yes!
When I turned around after being called out of nowhere…
I saw Shido-san and Kiho-san standing with smiles on their faces.
Kyoya: I knew it. Kiho: Hello. Ito: Hello. Kyoya: And here I was wondering whether it was you or not when I saw a familiar figure from a distance. Are you alone? Ito: Yes, it’s just me. Kyoya: That's good to hear. Kiho: If we’re intruding your private time, just tell us and we’ll leave right away. Ito: Not at all. By the way, what are you two doing in the park? For work? Kyoya: Yes. It wasn’t planned, though. We just had a meeting with a client and now we’re on our way back. So I thought I'd take the opportunity to get some fresh air and have a quick meeting with him, and that's when I saw Yashiro-san. Ito: I see. Thank you for your hard work. Kyoya: By the way, is your foot okay? Ito: Eh, ah…! Kiho: Seems like it got a blister. Ito: How embarrassing.….. I was walking around in order to get accustomed to my new shoes, but they got the better of me. Kyoya: Oh… It’ll be bad if it gets any more rubbed off and start bleeding. I think you should rest for now until you’re healed enough. I'll even lend you my shoulder and take you to the bench. Ito: (Shoulder!?) No, no, it's that big of a deal. Kyoya: But it hurts, doesn't it?
With that said, Shido-san knelt at my feet.
Ito: W-What the-!? Kyoya: Would you rather put your feet on my lap here or hold on to my shoulder and walk to the bench? Kiho: Haha, either choice has its own merit. Ito: (It’s two choices that almost look like one choice…)
They seriously got my future in their hands.
Ito: Please…. Allow me to sit on the bench… Kyoya: Got it.
Feeling embarrassed, I put my hand on his shoulder, and Shido-san placed his hand lightly on my back and started walking, trying to keep my balance.
Part 2
Kiho: Kyoya, do you behave like this at school too? I don’t think students will leave you alone at this rate. Kyoya: I'd do the same if it was Kiho-san. Kiho: Oh, so this is what captivates people of all ages and genders, even teachers.
The light-hearted yet witty conversation between these two was so enjoyable that time flied in the blink of an eye.
And before I knew it, the redness from the blister had almost disappeared.
Ito: (Alright.) Kyoya: Oh, can you stand up now? Ito: Yes. I should be able to walk without any problems so long as I’m careful enough, so I'll go back to the dorm. Thank you for keeping me company despite your busy schedule. Kyoya: Then, shall we walk together to the car? Ito: Eh? Kyoya: Someone is waiting for me on that street. If you're heading back to your place, I'll take you there. Kiho: Why don't you just say "I'll carry you to the car"? Kyoya: Only a prince or person who lacks common sense would say something like that. Ito: (If it's something a prince would say, it wouldn't be strange for Shido-san to say it…)
When I imagine that scenario, it just makes a lot of sense.
Kyoya: Look, Kiho-san. If you say something too strange, Yashiro-san will be wary of me. Ito: Ah, no, not in the least. But I'm really fine, so you don’t have to worry about me! I can't burden you to take care of me any more than this. Kyoya: You do know that you don’t have to worry about us, right, Yashiro-san? In fact, we still want to spend more time with Yashiro-san. Am I right, Kiho-san? Kiho: Yeah. Actually, I'm planning on getting a ride to the next job site as well. If you feel a little hesitant to take advantage of Kyoya's kindness on your own, wouldn't it be easier if I joined the ride? Ito: If you say so…
In the end, I took him up on his offer and started walking with the two of them escorting me in a very natural way.
Kyoya: Yashiro-san, next time you wear those shoes, let me know. That way, if something happens, I can help you right away. Kiho: I see. So if someone wants to walk with Kyoya-kun, they should just buy new shoes. Kyoya: You don't have to resort to that kind of trick, if you invite me I'll go out with you anytime. Of course, Kiho-san is very welcome to do so. Kiho: Haha, thank you.
As I was catching a glimpse of how close they are in their pleasant conversation, I suddenly realized that both of them were casually matching their pace with mine.
Ito: (Now that’s what you call being smart.)
I was once again filled with gratitude for the two of them. ……To the point where I started thinking of inviting them if I were to practice walking in these shoes.

After new chapter and another burned mansion I had to do this joke about qualifications for joining Moriarty's team. Good Herder is in better family now...Even if they forgot about him once T_T. ps. Sherlock burned Milverton's mansion etc, he will get some point too in that survey
This also makes me want to do analysis on Herder because this chapter gives more depth to his acting in Empty Hearts. William probably knew this story, he lowered his eyes before Herder started to talk, he keeps closest connection with Herder from what was said in Dinner arc... But that maybe after I will see if we won't get another chapter on Herder or this was the end of his arc. If end then analysis to go.
