Chapter 200 Visitor (V)
"First of all, let me congratulate you on your success in joining the Tokyo Thunder team," Akira said.
"Aah... Thanks, I guess?" Yuki, who was still taken aback by the sudden presence of his coach—who should be a former coach by now—could only rub the back of his neck awkwardly. It seemed his discomfort was noticed by the older man, who chuckled out loud. "Do you think that just because the club is disbanded I will forget about all of you? Even though I didn't interact with you much, I still kept following your progress. It was easy for me to do so since I was the one who introduced you to Sekine-sensei."
Yuki blushed, not expecting him to be so readable.
Akira sighed sadly as he gazed at his former protégé. It would be a lie to say he didn't regret Yuki's decision to join the Tokyo Thunder team. After all, he was the one who discovered the bespectacled boy's talent, and he wanted to be the one who brought him to the world stage. Unfortunately, his team was disbanded, and Yuki needed a club to help him gain more experience. The only comfort he took was that Yuki joined Sekine's team, which made it easy for him to monitor the boy.
"Jiisan, I am also here, you know?" Riku suddenly clicked his tongue in annoyance, announcing his presence to his uncle.
"Huh? Did you say something, Riku?" Akira blinked in confusion, making the blonde boy growl in annoyance. Fortunately, it only took him a second to realize what his nephew wanted him to acknowledge. "Oh, yeah! I forgot that you joined the same team too! Congratulations, my boy! I am sure you can shine even more under Kawaki's guidance." He praised him genuinely.
Riku's face beamed at that; all of his annoyances vanished instantly.
"For medication purposes, yes." Shingo Narita nodded. "It is still widely used in other industries as a solvent for adhesives, paints, and coatings. However, even for that, its usage is strictly regulated by the government, so a company or factory has to implement strict safety measures that are monitored by professionals to ensure there are no leaks that could create chaos in society."
"And the fact that it is inside the pharmacy factory and leaked basically tells us that the company broke all the rules and regulations regarding this TCE, right?" Yuki concluded.
"Exactly," Shingo Narita confirmed.
Silence descended on the room for a moment as everyone was lost in their thoughts, their expressions grim from the revelation. "So, what do you want to do with that information?" Riku finally asked, curious.
"Why, of course, I will report this matter," he replied with a wan smile. Yuki was surprised to hear that, and Shingo Narita immediately understood why Yuki would react that way. "While I am still employed by the company, it goes against my morals if I do nothing about it. I know if I talk to the Maiko Group, which owns the pharmacy, they would just sweep it under the rug. So, the best way to deal with this is to keep it quiet for a while until I find enough evidence and deal with it all at once. After that, I am sure everything will be alright."
Yuki had to admire his bravery and moral compass. Telling the truth that could impact his workplace would be difficult, yet Shingo Narita had decided to do it without hesitation. Even though Yuki felt the man's belief that everything would be alright after he reported this was a bit naïve, he didn't want to dampen the man's enthusiasm for now.
He then turned his attention to his old coach and asked, "So, Akira-sensei, what is your role in this messy situation? Also, what is your purpose here?" Based on the interaction between Akira and Shingo Narita, Yuki knew this wasn't their first collaboration. Still, Akira was a PE teacher, a position with little to no contact with a pharmacy director like Shingo Narita. The fact that they had decided to work together meant they shared a common goal, and what his old coach said next confirmed Yuki's guess.
"I want to cleanse our school of the Maiko Group's influence," he stated firmly.
