Chapter 97: The Loyal Customer

After finished preparing the materials, Kimura Kazuki immediately rushed to Suiryu Duplex Apartment to provide a replacement class for the Furuhashi sisters.

The replacement class today was obviously the same as the previous class. The four students were not paying attention in class, especially Furuhashi Akino. She had been daydreaming for the entire two hours of class while creating laughter from time to time, which had rendered Kimura Kazuki speechless.

Even Furuhashi Natsui was a bit unsettled as well. Although Furuhashi Natsui had made up her mind to study hard, it was still a question whether she could remain committed to her decision.

Eventually, Kimura Kazuki could no longer tolerate their behavior. He took his steel ruler and beat Furuhashi Akino on her palm. It was so painful that she even cried with tears coming out from her eyes. She dared not daydream anymore. Upon witnessing such 'consequences,' the three other sisters immediately shifted their focus back to the class. However, Kimura Kazuki clearly knew that even if they were trying to be serious, they were actually just staring blankly at him.

To be honest, Kimura Kazuki had been gradually observing these four girls to an extent day by day due to the replacement classes recently. He knew that even though they were not doing well in academics performance, they were outstanding in other fields. This had changed his previous perspectives of them having no connotations at all.

Furuhashi Harunaka insisted on practicing kendo every day without skipping. Although Kimura Kazuki had no idea about her true strength, he could justify that she might have built up a strong foundation as her adoration toward kendo was sincere.

Furuhashi Fuyuno often sank in the world of books related to vocalization. She would practice vocal whenever she was free. She even gave up on eating to enhance her vocals. This required a sheer amount of willpower, especially for a person who was fond of eating.

The determination and diligent attitude of these two students were praiseworthy.

On the other hand, Furuhashi Akino looked like a homegirl. In fact, she was a shut-in with a knack for programming in game development. She was developing a game with her friends whom she met online without arousing the attention of others. According to Furuhashi Natsui, their game would be ready very soon.

For Furuhashi Natsui, she did not seem to have any personal strength. However, Yanagawa Izumi reported to him that the number of members in [Kimura Kazuki's Fan Club] had reached another height, which was 30 members, and all of them were girls.

What kind of concept was this? In Japan, this number was already the total number of students in a class. There were about forty members in his Sword Believers' Club, and this amount was actually accumulated from a year ago. However, how long the [Kimura Kazuki's Fan Club] had been operating ever since Furuhashi Natsui had set up the club? Less than a week?

The most important thing was that Furuhashi Natsui was able to manage all thirty members well. The [Kimura Kazuki's Fan Club] was loose but well-organized. All of the members respected Furuhashi Natsui very much. This was unbelievable as they were all girls and the fights between girls were often worse than the boys.

There was once Kimura Kazuki saw a post online, stating that there were eight persons in a dorm, but they had five discussion groups, and they were separated into few gangs like they were some sort of spies. In that particular post, a lot of girls shared their experiences of intrigue against each other, which were terrifying and chilling.

Furuhashi Natsui was expected to be a leader with strong leadership skills and capabilities to organize [Kimura Kazuki's Fan Club] well to this extent. To be favored by the members, she must have an extraordinary charisma potency.

Kimura Kazuki sighed. No matter how poor their academic performance was, the four sisters would still be able to have high achievements in the future. Of course, it would be perfect if they could perform well in their academics.

Without knowing why Chiba Shiori came up into Kimura Kazuki's mind.

Even though he had no idea how Chiba Shori's academic performance in the school was, it seemed like it would not be too weak as well. After all, her mother was the director of student affairs, and her parents would definitely not allow her to write a novel if her academic performance was weak.

When the clock struck 8:30 pm, Kimura Kazuki immediately left upon finishing his lesson.

No matter how unsatisfying the performance of Furuhashi sisters was, he, as a home tutor, was responsible for coping with the situation. He had to think of ways to prevent their results from dropping.

After leaving, Kimura Kazuki took the lift and came to the eleventh floor. He recalled clearly that the elder was walking toward the direction of room 1105 at that moment.

He was still hesitating before taking the steps. He did not walk toward the room in the first place. Instead, he released the spirit of the elder in the Sun and Moon Sword. Once the elder was set free, he started whispering while walking toward the 1105 room at a slow pace.

After seeing this, Kimura Kazuki placed the Sun and Moon Sword at the corner.

Upon calming himself down, Kimura Kazuki came to the doorway of 1105 room, and he pressed the doorbell gently.

"Who are you?" Ten seconds later, Sunny Yamamoto saw Kimura Kazuki through the peephole of the door. Kimura Kazuki's pale face was showing a sense of uncertainty. Sunny Yamamoto did not notice that there was an elder's spirit beside Kimura Kazuki at the moment. The spirit was repeating a sentence again and again.

Kimura Kazuki sighed in relief when he heard noises on the other side of the door. It seemed like he was home. He sharpened his eyesight and asked in a low voice, "I am police. You can call me Kimura. I wanted to inquire about a person named Reina."

"Who is Reina? I have no idea. Sorry. I think you have gotten the wrong person," once Yamamoto heard the name 'Reina,' he denied in a flustered tone.

Kimura Kazuki was delighted upon sensing the feeling of panic from him. Perhaps he could ascertain that the man actually knew Reiko, and there was a high possibility that 'Reiko' from the mouth of the elder was actually Reina.

All of a sudden, Kimura Kazuki had a clear thought in his mind, but he had to seek further confirmation about that.

Kimura Kazuki grinned sarcastically, "You do not know Reina? Well, I bet you knew Reiko, right?" Without giving a chance for Sunny Yamamoto to answer, he continued to ask, "Reiko was involved in sexual acts, and you were one of her customers. You can't deny that. I had done the investigation before coming here."

"I really don't know who Reiko is," Sunny Yamamoto strived to maintain his calm expression.

"I do not have much time for all this nonsense. Please open the door right now and let me investigate," Kimura Kazuki spoke impatiently. "You do not have to worry. Worse comes to worst, you will only get a fine penalty for your case. However, if you still refuse to admit, I will identify you and Reiko as partners in crime. As such, you will be considered as a criminal, and you will be committed to prison."

"Erm..." Sunny Yamamoto panicked upon hearing the words. He knew that if he did not open the door, the police would have other ways to break in. It would be better to tell him the truth.

Kimura Kazuki was surprised when he saw Sunny Yamamoto opened the door for him. It seemed too easy. He thought Sunny Yamamoto would insist on having a look at some documents or licensing for verification, which he had already prepared. It seemed like even though the Suiryu Duplex Apartment was a high-end apartment, the education level of the residents was not above his expectation.

Once Kimura Kazuki entered, Sunny Yamamoto spoke in a flattering tone, "Officer Kimura. You look so young."

"I am already 28 years old," Kimura Kazuki answered in a straight face, he then spoke in an indifferent tone, "No worries, I am coming to investigate the case."

"Yes, I will tell you everything I know."

Soon, the two came to the living room. Although Sunny Yamamoto had managed to calm himself down, he was still a bit unsettled while sitting on the sofa. After all, this kind of incident was embarrassing, but luckily it happened in his house, giving him a sense of security.

Kimura Kazuki was sitting beside. He took a pen and opened up his notebook. After asking a few questions, he realized the information obtained was similar to those from Muraoka Hiroshi.

Rieko, her stage name was Reina. She would change her contact information after some time. However, before making the change, she would tell her trustworthy loyal customers her new contact number.

Well, Yamamoto was one of Rieko's loyal customers.

Kimura Kazuki recorded while asking at discretion, "Was there any elderly person in your house that passed away recently?"
