"Someone from our Takigawa family is a traitor who revealed Kiyoshi's whereabouts to Kurosuke-san."
Arata slowly took a deep breath as he watched the subtle changes in Midori's facial expression.
"It couldn't be any of your brothers, because we were there with you at the Kanzen No Fushigi Temple when the phone call came in."
A soft sigh escaped Midori, followed by Arata's faint smile.
"Did you suspect Shuugo-Niisan?"
Regretfully, Midori confirmed with a nod.
"Satoru-kun is too pure-hearted and honest. He would never be able to pull it off without changing his behavior.
Arata-Niichan is a police officer with a strong sense of duty and deep-seated loyalty to the country. You will never bend your head to the rebel forces.
Minato-Niichan is a doctor. He is busy every day saving lives. Getting in contact with him won't be easy. Besides, he loves me very much. He will never hurt me that way."
Arata nodded in apprehension.
