Kapitel 104: Chapter 102: Karma
"Our failure must be compensated; we cannot let the Rock remain in GHQ's hands."
*Yawn*
As Yuki listened to Gai's speech, he was bored, not caring about stifling a yawn. Oshima's mission had failed, prompting Gai to immediately organize the next mission: to retrieve the Rock.
However, this wouldn't be easy. GHQ was not foolish; having this Rock was equivalent to possessing ten more Leukocytes, making it dangerous. But it also made them vulnerable. With such a biological weapon in their hands, the cost of protecting it was high. OAU and the remaining nations had invaded Japan, claiming to restore the freedom lost a decade ago. Their motives appeared noble to the public, but everyone knew it was a façade.
Yet, Yuki remained unfazed. This was within his calculations. The snakes had emerged from their holes, and soon they would bite each other. The Apocalypse Rock was a highly prized weapon, so OAU wouldn't stand idly by while GHQ possessed it—something Undertaker wouldn't allow either.
"What are you thinking, Yukin?"
Looking at Yuki with doubt, Tsugumi furrowed her brow.
"Nothing... Don't worry," Yuki replied casually, his hand on his chin.
"Really?"
Tsugumi didn't believe him. She knew Yuki had a plan, and it would soon be set in motion. Inori, standing beside her, also looked at Yuki with doubt. She knew his plan and couldn't help but question it.
So, with these thoughts, Inori couldn't help but recall that day.

"Where are you taking us, Yukin? This is not a date at all!"
Pouting, Tsugumi looked resentfully at Yuki. He had taken them out of Undertaker's base under the pretense of a date. Initially, Tsugumi thought Yuki would apologize for the brief romance with Arisa, and this date was a way to make amends. However, she wasn't alone; Inori and Ayase were with her.
Inori, being Yuki's girlfriend, was accustomed to outings like this. But what about Ayase? She wasn't Yuki's girlfriend, so her presence here was odd. Tsugumi began to suspect that Yuki had laid his hands on her friend.
Her instincts were right, though Yuki hadn't done anything to Ayase. She had developed feelings for the mischievous demon, and if things continued, their relationship was destined to progress.
"Don't worry; we're almost there."
Without turning his gaze, Yuki continued walking. The questions would soon find their answers, and he also wanted to see the outcome of his efforts.
Convincing (seducing) Arisa wasn't something Yuki was proud of, but he had to admit that having a wealthy girl by his side made everything easier.
"Yuki, do you... really want to do this?"
Inori looked at Yuki with complete astonishment. Unlike Tsugumi, she already had an idea of his intentions. After all, in front of them stood a tall building.
"Um! I have to do it."
Assenting with a smile, Yuki liked what he saw. This building was affiliated with Japan's wealthiest conglomerate and was also the tallest in Tokyo.
And consequently, this building belonged to Arisa.
"Let's go in; I promise you'll be surprised."
Entering with long strides, Yuki left the confused girls behind, who only glanced at each other.
"Let's go in; I'm sure Yuki has a reason."
Ayase was the first to give in. She had a lot of confidence in Yuki, and her personality told her that he must have a reason for bringing them here.
"Yeah..."
Inori, on the other hand, sighed. She had a hunch that what she would see in this place wouldn't please her.
Nevertheless, she followed Yuki.
"Yukin, if this is another one of your sinister plans..."
Tsugumi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She knew this bastard was hiding something significant, but in the end, she shook her head. She would find out soon enough; punishment could wait. So, she followed Yuki as well.
"Yuki-kun, I'm so glad to see you."
"Yes, likewise, Arisa."
Personally receiving Yuki, Arisa was nervous. She had received a message that he would come to see her, so she quickly took a bath and dressed in her best suit. Since the party, they hadn't seen each other; they had only exchanged messages. She was a bit nervous.
She had received orders from her grandfather that Yuki might be her future husband. This made her happy, although she didn't know how or why her grandfather knew Yuki. Still, she accepted the request gladly. After all, this boy had made a good impression on her. However, her happiness didn't last long. Yuki was accompanied by three beautiful girls, and one of them was giving her cruel looks.
It didn't take much to realize it was Tsugumi.
But Yuki didn't care. He approached and kissed Arisa on the cheek. Although surprised, Arisa accepted his greeting, bending slightly.
"Grrr~"
Tsugumi, however, drowned in jealousy. Only now did she understand what Inori felt upon learning about her romance with Yuki. This was her karma, and karma is a bitch. Unable to do anything, she looked at Inori, who had an expressionless face.
"Ready, Arisa?"
"Yes, Yuki-kun, everything is ready. Join me... Uh, what's this?"
"Oh, let me introduce you. They're Inori, Tsugumi, and Ayase. By the way, Inori and Tsugumi are my girlfriends."
As if suddenly remembering something important, Yuki pounded his fist into his palm, looking at Arisa, who now had a shocked look on her face.

**Author's Note:** Some readers asked how many chapters are left in this arc. There are approximately 20 left, but yesterday, I took the trouble to rewatch Guilty Crown, despite my heart breaking, and found some interesting details. I refuse to let them pass, but don't worry; the chapters will only be extended by about 2 more.
