Chapitre 178: Conversation

"You want me to accompany you to meet that old geezer?" Riku blinked, repeating Yuki's request with a confused expression.

"Yeah, please!" Yuki clapped his hands together with a pleading gaze. Riku was confused but nodded his head. "I don't mind, but can you tell me why?" he asked.

After that, Yuki spent about fifteen minutes retelling the conversation he had with Mattheo and the advice from Aiko. Riku—and Kato, who sat in front of them—listened carefully, and in the end, they both nodded thoughtfully at him.

"That… is a good idea, and I am ashamed to say I never thought about it before," Riku admitted, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "But why would you jump directly to that old geezer and not ask Akira-jiisan first?"

"Well, if you can find your uncle's whereabouts, I don't mind that. But whenever I go to the teacher's office, he's never there, and the other teachers don't know anything about him either."
