Tokyo, 1991: Starting as a bank clerk

Chapter 206 I must avenge my uncle!

White curtains.

Swaying gently in the night breeze.

Kiryu Yaya looked at Miyazawa Keiko and remained silent for a moment.

The look on her face when she said those words was more resolute than ever before.

But faced with her request.

Kiryu Yaya hesitated for a moment.

"Huizi" 6

He had barely opened his mouth when Miyazawa Keiko interrupted him: "Kiryu-kun, don't rush to reject me. I know you're keeping those things from me to protect me."

"I also know that there must be something behind my uncle's death that I can't easily touch."

Even so, a hint of determination still shone in her eyes. She took a step forward and gently took Kiryu Yaya's hand: "But..."

"It is precisely because I know nothing that I am so terrified."

"I don't know who the enemy is, nor do I know who I should be wary of. This feeling of being trapped in a fog is too painful!"

Kiryu Yaya looked down at her and remained silent for a few moments.

Then he spoke: "Huizi, you've seen the letter and documents your uncle left behind."

As he spoke, he took the photo out of his briefcase and handed it to Keiko Miyazawa.

Keiko Miyazawa took the photo, and looking at Miyazawa Hara and the strange man in it, her breath hitched slightly: "Could it be—"

Kiryu Yaya nodded: "That's right, this person is the real culprit who killed your uncle, Takatsukasa Seiichi."

""

"He has his eye on the land that the Miyazawa Group owns in Rinko City. He has been plotting against it for a long time."

"Even the Rokko Golf project was a trap set for the Miyazawa Group from the very beginning."

"Your uncle thought he was working on a profitable project, but they were trying to get your uncle involved first, and then use the losses from Rokko to cripple the cash flow of Miyazawa Tourism Development."

"And the ultimate goal is to force the Miyazawa Group to transfer the land in Rinko City."

Keiko Miyazawa's pupils contracted slightly: "Rinko Castle—did it start from Rokkaku?"

97

Kiryu Yaya nodded: "Yes, in their view, Rinku City is the land route to Kansai International Airport and one of the most valuable commercial properties in the Kansai region for the next ten years or so."

Keiko Miyazawa's face gradually darkened.

She didn't speak, but just looked down at the photo, her gaze shifting back and forth between Miyazawa Hara and Takaji Seiichi, as if trying to find something in those still images.

After a few seconds, she looked up: "What about Kouyu Tianyan? My uncle mentioned him in his letter too—"

Kiryu Yaya said, "Takatsukasa Seiichi has a powerful background. Kouyuu Hiko is nothing in front of him, but Kouyuu wants to use Rinku Castle as a stepping stone to advance further in the bank."

"The cassette tape left by your uncle contains the content of Kouyuu Hiko forcing him to make Miyazawa Koukami donate blood to Rokko."

""

Keiko Miyazawa closed her eyes, her breathing becoming slightly more rapid.

She remained silent for a long time.

The night breeze blowing in from outside the eaves made the stray hairs by her ears sway gently.

She finally opened her eyes and looked at Kiryu Yaya.

"So that's how it is—"

Kiryu Yaya stood under the eaves and saw Miyazawa Keiko looking down in silence.

The night breeze ruffled the fine strands of hair around her ears, and after a long while, Miyazawa Keiko finally raised her head.

Her eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears in them.

Perhaps all the tears were already cried out in the last two days.

"so----"

Her voice became clear again.

"They can't wait any longer. They want me to disappear so my uncle can control the Miyazawa Group, and then they can take over the land in Rinko City?"

Kiryu Yaya didn't say anything, he just looked at her.

Her lips were pressed tightly together, but in her eyes, there was an expression he had seen on his own face before.

That's the obsession of an avenger.

Kiryu Yaya did not deny it.

"From Rokkaku to the eight billion yen credit line from Nanki Shirahama, and then to your uncle's letter of appointment, every step of this was part of a well-planned scheme."

But there's one thing to say.

Kiryu Yaya didn't say it aloud.

He even had a vague premonition that Miyazawa Takashi's death might also be related to them.

After all, from the perspective of the entire game, the timing of Miyazawa Takashi's death can be said to be just right.

But this is just speculation.

He knew that saying it would only increase Miyazawa Keiko's sadness, so he didn't say it.

Keiko Miyazawa lowered her head and looked at the still-young Miyazawa Hara in the photo: "But my uncle saw through their plan, so he chose to die to sever their control over the Miyazawa family."

Kiryu Yaya was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, he used his own life to give you the time and space to face all of this."

There was a moment of quiet under the eaves.

People were still leaving from the direction of the main entrance of the funeral home.

The sound of the car engine could be heard intermittently in the night wind.

Keiko Miyazawa turned the photo over and glanced at the faded small print on the back: "March, 1942, at the empty castle, with Takatsukasa-sama."

Seiichi Takatsukasa, Hiko Kouda.

She silently repeated the two names in her heart, and then her eyes revealed an unprecedented determination.

Keiko Miyazawa returned the photo to Yaya Kiryu, then looked up and stared directly into his eyes: "Kiryu-kun, please let me join your revenge plan!"

"Whether it takes ten years or twenty years, I will avenge my uncle!"

Kiryu Yaya looked at her.

The night breeze swept through the eaves, lengthening the silence between the two for a few breaths.

Just then, a semi-transparent interface popped up in front of him.

[New life options have been triggered]

After learning the truth about her uncle's death, Keiko Miyazawa volunteered to join your revenge plan.

At this moment, you have two choices:

[Fork in the road 1: Agree to her request, let her join your plan, and clearly inform her of the risks she will face.]

(Reward: Unlock the main storyline "Avengers" and gain the deep trust and cooperative resources of the Miyazawa Group)

[Branch Two: Politely decline her request, and tell her that you are enough for her regarding revenge.]

(Reward: Bank deposit increases by 30 yen; Keiko Miyazawa's favorability decreases)

A rare choice between two options.

Kiryu Yaya's gaze lingered on the two options for a moment.

Then he looked into Miyazawa Keiko's eyes—there was a kind of seriousness in them that he hadn't seen in a long time, a seriousness that was almost desperate.

Without much hesitation, Kiryu Yaya made his choice.

From the moment he told Keiko the truth, their fates were inevitably intertwined.

only----

Kiryu Yaya looked up and gazed into Miyazawa Keiko's eyes: "Keiko, I can agree to your request."

Keiko Miyazawa's eyes lit up slightly.

"but""

Kiryu Yaya's tone became serious: "I need to tell you in advance that the first step of my plan is to persuade the Miyazawa Group to sell that piece of land in Rinko City."
