It was on page 2 already SurpriseEri continues to walk to the place she wants to go to, but she is more carefully now. Somebody is probably watching her and it looks like it's more dangerous on the streets than she thought. She didn't tell anybody where she is actually going to. After more of an hour of walking, Eri crosses the Tama River and enters the region of Tama. She stops in front of a single-family house.
Eri knocks at the door. The door opens and who we see is Sayumi. Eri smiles at her, but all she can say is "Eri...". They look at each other for a while. Sayumi seems a bit surprised, but not as surprised as somebody who thought that she would be dead. Maybe it's the shock. However, she lets Eri in. Before closing the door, Sayumi checks the outside. It almost feels like she is a bit nervous.
"What are you doing?", Eri asks.
"You shouldn't have come here.", Sayumi surprisingly answers.
Eri is confused. This isn't the reaction she thought she would see. Also, Sayumi doesn't look like she is that surprised to see her alive. After looking out of every window, Sayumi finally relaxes and approaches Eri to hug her. Her mood changed from nervous to happy. They hug each other for a while. Eri doesn't want to interrupt this moment. She missed her all the time she was in Italy and now the only thing that matters is that she finally is together with her again.
Fan-EnemyIn a place that looks like the area where Sayumi lives, a man picks out his mobile phone and calls somebody.
"She is here.", he says.
Somewhere else, in the headquarter of the Ministry of Defense, a man with a headset receives the call.
"Can you please repeat it?"
"Kamei Eri just entered the house of Michishige Sayumi.", he repeats.
"Alright, wait for further instruction.", the man with the headset hangs up.
He now taps on the shoulder of a man sitting next to him. The other man also has a headset and therefore couldn't here his conversation.
"What's up?", the other man asks.
"I know where she is."
"Kamei Eri?"
"Yes.."
"We have to tell the boss!"
"Wait!", the man suddenly stops him.
"What?", the other man is surprised.
"What about the comeback?"
"You mean the comeback of Morning Musume that is supposed to happen next week?"
"Exactly.."
"What about it?"
"Any action involving Sayumi could endanger it. You, as a big fan as me, should consider this, too."
"You are right..what now?"
"Do we really have to tell the boss?"
"Tell me what?", the boss interrupts the two. He must have entered the room just now and overheard their conversation. The two men realize that it would be better for them not to lie to him. They explain the current situation to him. The boss looks at them and makes a phone call. The two look at each other. They seem to be friends and fellow fans of Morning Musume, not that it matters anymore. What they did was the right move, at least for them.
The phone rings in the office of the LDP. A man picks it up.
"Yes?", he asks.
"Ministry of Defense here.", the head of the Ministry of Defense answers.
"You got some new information about her whereabouts?"
"Yes, we have her location. What are we doing now?"
"Kill her.", the man says with a serious tone.
"Are you sure?"
"Kill her!", the man in the office repeats and hangs up.
In the headquarter the boss puts away the phone.
"Give me the headset.", the orders the man.
"What are you going to do?", the man asks, thinking about his beloved group.
"Just give me the headset."
Back in the office of the LDP, the man sits behind his desk. Another man looks at him with doubts. Was it really the right decision to kill her? The man explains why he ordered this.
"This way nobody will get the documents and our party will win the elections like every year."
His expressions give away that it wasn't the first time he ordered something like that. It really looks like that both parties are involved in illegal actions the public doesn't know about.
