Chapter 113

Kacha

The sound drew back Rentaro who was at the window . He turned around to look at the entrance .

Kisara dressed in her usual black sailor uniform entered the office . Rentaro is a bit bewildered and he wondered if he’s imagining it .

Somehow, Kisara looked awfully flushed and her breathing is rushed . Her heaving bosom made Rentaro very uncomfortable .

“Kisara-san?”

Rentaro asked .

“What’s wrong?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Kisara forcefully smiled and anyone could tell she’s hiding something since she avoided eye contact with Rentaro .

“More like, Rentaro-kun, what are you doing here?”

“Me?”

Rentaro scratched his head . He suppressed his curiosity and he replied .

“Didn’t you hear the loud sound just now? It sounded like a massive car accident, right?”

Rentaro is even more confused .

“Kisara-san just came in, don’t tell me you didn’t hear it?”

“Th-this...”

Kisara started stuttering which made Rentaro even more suspicious . A mysterious sense of discomfort rose up in Rentaro’s heart .

Kisara’s trying to hide something from him, a most peculiar behavior for her .

Another person chimed in with a helpless tone .

“Look, if you’re going to talk, can you go in and not block the door for other people?”

“—!”

Kisara scurried away in shock after hearing his voice .

“Eh?”

Rentaro gasped .

“Noah?”

“Yo, what’s up, Rentaro?”

In stark contrast to Kisara, Noah is cool as a cucumber when he greeted Rentaro .

“Where’s Enju?”

“Oh, don’t even get me started . ”

Rentaro sighed .

“She said something about watching Tenbatsu Shoujo anime and she holed up inside Fairy Tail without coming out since . ”

“Oh, really?”

Noah chuckled .

“That sounds like her . ”

“I know right?”

Noah’s nonchalant attitude drew a pout from Kisara . She threw a hissy fit .

“Oh, I thought Fairy Tail’s big and might guildmaster couldn’t be bothered with a small and insignificant firm like ours?”

Rentaro twitched in astonishment while Noah is rendered speechless .

What’s her deal?

Why is she so upset?

Noah glanced at her and he subconsciously compared her dressed appearance with her disrobed figure . He used an antagonistic tone with her .

“Oh dear, Fairy Tail is such a poor organization it can only afford to live in the outer regions, surely we can’t compare to the great young miss of the Tendo clan . ”

“I am me! Tendo is Tendo!”

Kisara retorted with a leer .

“Don’t lump me in with the Tendo bunch!”

“Oh?”

Noah laughed apologetically .

“Then I’m sorry . ”

Noah and Kisara glared at each other with imaginary sparks between them . One of them suddenly turned awkward while the other one blushed and averted her gaze .

Rentaro is perplexed, to say the least .

If Kano or Enju is here, they would have noticed something . At least, they would have known that they are just using this pointless banter to hide their shame .

Rentaro is too dense for that, he asked while trying not to set off any bombs .

“Erm, you two, what’s going on here?”

“Nothing is going on!”

Kisara and Noah shot back at the same time . Then, they stared at each other .

“Don’t copy me!’

“You’re the one who copied me!”

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

“You...”

Noah and Kisara are in sync as they tried to shoot each other with words .

After they have calmed down, the way they stared at each other made the air in the room get a bit too charged for anyone’s comfort .

Although he’s clueless, Rentaro reckons that it’s best if he didn’t ask so many questions .

“Y-you know...”

Rentaro looked at Noah to defuse this situation .

“Noah, why are you here?”

Noah’s question sparked the same question in Kisara’s mind . Noah also recalled the reason he’s here . He used a serious face and he asked Rentaro .

“Miori said you have something that I requested, she passed it to you and told you to pass it to me, is that right?”

Rentaro’s expression turned grim . He can’t hide the disquiet in his voice .

Kisara knitted her brows, she had noticed the change in the mood so she turned her attention towards Rentaro .

“Rentaro-kun, what is it?”

Rentaro didn’t answer her . Instead, he thought for a bit before he took out a bunch of papers from his inner pocket .

Noah tried to retrieve them but Rentaro distanced himself .

“Why do you want this?”

Rentaro looked intently at Noah while holding the papers .

“I’m sorry but I gleaned the documents and I hope you can give me an explanation . ”

Noah inwardly sighed .

So it turned out like this, huh?

“Rentaro-kun . ”

Kisara noticed that it’s not as simple as it looks, she got closer to Rentaro without minding the earlier altercation between herself and Noah .

“What’s that you got in your hands?”

“Kisara-san...’

Rentaro looks conflicted for a moment but he relented in the end .

“It’s incriminating evidence on a lot of officials who belonged to the Tendo clan . It’s very shady stuff like corruption and embezzlement of funds . ”

“Tendo...”

Kisara’s eyes shrunk and the next instant, her eyes widened . With trembling hands, she tried to obtain the document in Rentaro’s hands .

Rentaro knew she would act like this, he tried to raised his hand and Noah snatched it with his speed .

“Gimme!”

Before Rentaro can say anything, Kisara emotionally pounced on Noah .

“Give it to me!”

Noah dodged her and he is intrigued by her over-the-top reaction .

“What are you going to do with it?”

“I could ask the same of you . ”

Kisara adjusted her breathing and she growled at him .

“What are you going to do with it?”

Noah knew the moment Miori told him that the documents are in Rentaro’s hands that he’s going to get questioned by them .

Looking at Kisara’s reaction, Noah replied after thinking about it .

“If I say, it’s going to be the last nail in the coffin when I overthrow the Tendo family, what are you doing to do about it?”

The room fell silent .

“Overthrow... Tendo family...”

Rentaro mumbled out loud .

“As expected...”

“Overthrowing... the Tendo Clan...”

Kisara mumbled to herself . A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes but she quickly made up her mind .

No, rather than resolve, it’s more like the reckless abandon of a trapped demon .

“I can do it too!”

Kisara stared intently at Noah, her voice sounded like it came from the deepest abyss of her soul .

“I can help you destroy the Tendo clan!”

Rentaro’s expression crumbled but he didn’t voice his opinion .

Noah frowned, this is a very rare and unusual side of Kisara . She’s behaving very maliciously right now but he didn’t say it out loud .

Thinking about it, he took another look at Kisara and he walked out of the office, leaving her with one final message .

“We will save this for another time...”

Rentaro stopped for a bit but he pursued Noah, leaving Kisara in the office . She stared at the door in silence .
