Ruyichi Hayashi, or rather, Drake Forest, returned to his hotel room at the end of the day. As he opened the door, he found a small envelope on the floor. "Mr. Drake Forest" was written on it. Below the English name, he found "Ryuichi-kun" written below in Japanese.
So he wants to talk. thought Hayashi. Or maybe, he wants me to do the talking.
He pulled out his smartphone and called Onodera.
Carlos Bosque was standing on top of a low, rocky, cliff by the sea. From it, the harbor could be seen not very far away. He was carrying a bottle of wine in his right hand. The other hand was in the pocket of his blazer.
Drake Forest arrived. Bosque smiled and waved then put his hand back in his pocket. Forest waved back.
"Where is Onodera-senpai, Ryuichi-kun?" asked Mori as Hayashi approached him. "I thought I invited the both of you."
"Same reason why you didn't bring the big wrecker zombie with you."
"Now why would I do that, Ryuichi-kun?" asked Mori. "I've got nothing to hide."
"I'm sure you don't," said Hayashi, noting that the bell tower of the same church that Mori pointed at the other day was clearly visible over the latter's right shoulder. There was a reason why Mori barely moved from the spot he was standing. Hayashi knew it well.
Far off at the bell tower of the church, the giant Dutchman had Hayashi in the crosshairs of the scope of his sniper's rifle.
Mori grinned, sensing Hayashi had already determined where Joop was. But that was not a surprise.
"Now you know where Joop is," he remarked, "it's not a surprise that I know where Onodera-senpai is hiding."
He leaned sideways slightly, looking over Hayahsi's left shoulder towards the hill in the distance. There was a small, ancient stone hut.
Hayashi smirked. Mori was in the crosshairs of Onodera's own weapon, and he knew it.
"How about a drink?" asked Mori, lifting up the bottle of wine.
