20.56% Her Wicked CEO: How To Seduce A Hikikomori Wife? / Chapter 65: Going to T city is not a good idea

Chương 65: Going to T city is not a good idea

"Yuhara Kun." Rie waves the laptop in front of his eyes. "Just look once."

Yuhara Kozue covers his ears. "NO!"

"You didn't cover your eyes." She smirks. "You can read it, right? Look at the prize money."

"N.O." Yuhara Kozue closes his eyes. "I won't take you to T city."

"Come on!" She stands in front of him. "Yuhara, we are leaving the country next month. This is a national e-sport championship. I got an invitation in the mail. I heard that professional players will come. If I win, I will be famous in the country."

Yuhara Kozue doesn't know much about her past, but he knows that there is someone who harmed her badly that night in T city. They even faked her death to hide her from that person. Going back to the city might trigger something. If she remembers, she might become worse than before. Umezaki Rie must never know about Takeuchi Rie.

"There are e-sports in E country too. You can play there as much as you want." Yuhara Kozue tells her with big eyes, "I heard that they are quite good. You will meet a lot of new people."

She places the laptop on the bed and sits beside him. "Why can't I choose the way I want to live? I don't want to study at this age. I don't want to live in a strange country. I want to live in H island. The food is most delicious here. I like the sound of the ocean."

"Umezaki san, you like computers. You can study computers deeply at the university. After you get your degree, you can find a good job and live the way you want to live. Going to T city is not a good idea," Yuhara explains to her with a kind tone.

Going to T city is definitely not a good idea. Kamiyama Kiyohira is there. They still haven't found the person who tried to kill her two years ago. Redhead Ren might be there too.

***

I look at the clock. 1:13 AM. I can't sleep.

'Going to T city is not a good idea.'

Why did Yuhara say that? He is distressed too. Is there something in T city that I shouldn't know about?

My father told me that there was nothing in the past. Our previous house burned to the ground and took all the memories away. Even family photos are gone in that fire. 26 years of my life disappeared in that fire. I never felt that it was okay. I didn't say anything because I thought the memories might come back on its own or my father would tell me.

They are hiding something, isn't? I get it that I was seriously injured in that fire. I couldn't walk for months. I am completely healed though. But, both of them shy away when I ask anything about the past. Yuhara can't lie for his life. My father is good at lying, but I notice guilt in his eyes some times.

I have a feeling that my father will never let me find out about my past if I leave with him next week to E country.

My past is in T city. I need to know what they are hiding.

I pack my stuff in the bag. I have left a letter for my father. I have a good plan to find out about my past. If I become famous, people who know me will come to find me on their own. Then, I can ask them directly. I will take part in that tournament first. It's the fastest way.

My father will be angry, but he is also understanding. I want to know about my past. How can one live without 26 years of life? I have had enough patience with this professor and his student.

I climb out of the window. I take a taxi to the airport. It's only one and a half hour journey to T city.

***

Yuhara Kozue can't sleep at all. He has a bad feeling. For some reasons, he can't trust that expression that she showed before kicking him out of her room. Did he say something wrong? He replays the conversation. Why did she look at him like that?

'Going to T city is not a good idea.'

Oh! He made a mistake.

He jumps out of the bed and runs to her room. The light is on. He knocks the door, but nobody answers him.

"Umezaki san, I am coming in." He pushes the door and finds an empty room. He finds the letter addressed to her father.

"Argh!" He grabs his hair. "Why did I say that? She is so smart. She can easily read between the lines. What should I do?"

Professor Umezaki will kill him, but he needs to tell him asap.

He dashes to Professor Umezaki's room. "Professor, Rie ran away from home."

Umezaki Yushiro opens the door. "What did you say?"

He looks at him with fear. "I made a grave mistake."

There is no time to scold or beat up his student. Umezaki Yushiro drives to the airport in his night pajamas. He hopes that his daughter didn't leave the airport yet. It's not good for her to find out this way. He has been selfish. He should have revealed it to her slowly. If the pandora box is broken suddenly, what she will become?

It's already late when they arrive. Rie is already on the plane to T city.


Chương 66: It was only ten steps away

Who is Umezaki Rie?

I came to this city to find that out. I must have friends here. I don't remember any friends though. Was I too hasty in coming here? Going to the tournament is the perk anyway. If I become famous, someone will appear from my past. I want to remember because there must be something or someone I cherished once.

Argh! My head hurts from overthinking. Since I have taken the decision, I will see to it till the end. Staying at the airport is a bad idea. Knowing my father, he is likely to take the first flight to T city.

I go to the tournament ground. I need to register. Then, I will figure out where I can stay.

"Name?" The girl with blue hair asks me with boring eyes.

"Umezaki Rie," I say quietly.

She stops writing. "Is that your gaming ID or real name?"

"Uh... real name?"

Isn't it a good idea to become famous with my real name?

She frowns at me. "Tell me your gaming ID. You must have received an invitation because you won some local e-gaming competition last time."

Is she talking about the one at H island? That must be it.

"U_413."

She scribbles it on the paper and gives me an ID card. "Keep that safe. You can't enter the competition ground without that ID. The first round will commence tomorrow at 10 A.M. You will not be granted entry if you are 1 second late. The organizers of this tournament are strict about the timing. All the finalists will get some prize, but the winner will get an opportunity to play in the world championship."

It would be cool to get the world championship. If I am famous worldwide, do I need to study? I don't have to go to college and lead a mediocre life. I will be worshipped by all the gamers. After I retire, I will become a gamer coach.

That's it. I have decided on my career.

"Why are you grinning like that?" The girl is irritated to see me. "Step aside. There are other people."

"Ah... I am sorry." I move away. The queue is long. My stomach growls.

"Hey, girl," I ask the one who is doing the registration. "Is there any good restaurant here?"

She exhales loudly. "You are not from around here, are you? Get an app on your phone and use it to find the nearest one. Don't bother me."

Hmm. I don't have a phone.

I walk out of the place and walk straight for a while. T city is loud and crowdy. There are all sorts of people walking around.

What the hell!

After walking for thirty minutes, I can't find a single restaurant. My stomach can't stop growling. I stop a cab.

"Where to?" The cab driver asks me.

I get inside the cab. "Take to a restaurant."

"Which one?"

"The one that's closest and sells the best food."

The cab driver takes a turn and stops in front of a restaurant. "There, you go."

"It was only ten steps away!" I slam my forehead. "Why did you not tell me that?"

"You should have asked for direction instead of getting inside my cab." He rolls his eyes. "Don't leave without paying me."

Scammers! The worse part is that he's not wrong. I pay him and get out of the cab.

I will fill my stomach and then, I will find a place to stay.

***

"Mmm." Takoyaki from this restaurant is not bad. It's not as good as the one I ate before. I take a sip of the wine. There is a paper wall between me and the other guests. I can hear their laughs and talks.

"The e-gaming registration is going well. I heard that hundreds of participants came this year."

"I hope that there are good ones this year. Last year's winner didn't perform well in the world championship."

"I hope that. E-gaming is currently in the rise." A pause. "Re Games have invested a lot in e-games tournaments recently. I heard that they are training people for the world championship?"

"It's only been little more than two years since they started. They are still new in this business. It's too early to take them seriously."

"But, Re Games is a part of the Kamiyama groups. It's directly being handled by the CEO. "

Kamiyama groups must be powerful and famous.

"Let's wait and see."

The conversation change to other business stuff. I didn't understand half the things. It's not good to listen to other people's conversations anyway.

I finish my takoyaki and leave the restaurant. With a full stomach, the day seems brighter. I should roam the city before I go to a hotel.

***

Umezaki Yushiro and Yuhara Kozue arrive in T city. The first thing that they do is to go to the tournament ground. They can't see Rie there.

"Non-gamers are not entertained here." The girl tells them sharply, "I won't reveal any gamer's identity."

"You just have to nod or shake your head." Yuhara Kozue tries his best to keep his anger in his heart. "She's not physically fine. It's an emergency. Her name is Umezaki Rie."

"Please." Umezaki Yushiro shows a picture of Rie. "If you have seen her, tell me. I am her father."

The girl looks at the picture carefully. There have been hundreds of people. She can't forget this one. It's probably because of the name of the woman or her foolish grin. Both men look extremely worried and desperate.

"She came here around two hours ago. I don't know where she went after this. She will probably come tomorrow at 10 A.M. I don't know more. Leave now. "

Umezaki Yushiro and Yuhara Kozue take a deep breath.

"Professor, where should we find her in this big city?"

"She will probably stay at a nearby hotel. Let's begin from there."

***

The car stops at the red light.

Kiyohira looks out the window. Nothing is interesting in the city. He wonders how Rie is doing now. It's been a long time since he saw her. He decided to let her go that day because he desperately wanted her to live. When she woke up, she had no memories. It was good for her. It is better if she never remembers. Especially, him. It's better to be forgotten than feared by the one he loves.

He wants to see her again. It's a selfish wish. He knows that he will wish to see her again after seeing her once. His greedy heart will never be satisfied.

A small woman in a black sweater is walking on the sidewalk with excitement in her eyes. She has a childlike smile on her face.

He must be hallucinating.

He walks out of the car and runs toward the woman. She is already getting inside a cab. He opens his mouth to call out her name. Then, he stops.

If it's her, he can't come in front of her.

If it's her, it's better to leave her alone.

If it's her, he can't leave her alone in the city.

He gets back into his car. "Follow that cab."
