Chapitre 59: CHAPTER 58- Dark Secrets (4)

Ichiro and Akihiko's sleepless night took a toll on both of them, and their fatigued appearance did not go unnoticed when they arrived at school the next day. Their exhaustion was apparent, with dark circles under their eyes and a weariness that seemed to hang in the air around them.

As they settled into their usual places in the lab, Emi couldn't help but voice her concern. "What did the two of you do this time?" she asked, her eyes narrowing as she observed their fatigued expressions.

Ichiro hesitated, contemplating whether he should disclose the details to Emi. He didn't want to involve her in the dangerous web of secrets and conspiracies they were unraveling. "Nothing," he finally replied, keeping his response vague.

Emi wasn't convinced, her suspicion evident in her gaze. "Nothing? It's pretty obvious you're up to something," she retorted, her concern deepening.
