Natsunagi Sakura: "Where...where are you all now? I can't see a single person here."

Suddenly, Natsumi Sakura's voice came through the walkie-talkie. As the last person to complete the decryption, she was now only thinking about finding her companions to reunite with. However, there was no one around her, not even an NPC playing the monster.

However, to Takumi Hagiya's surprise, he could not only hear Sakura Natsumi's voice on the walkie-talkie, but he could also hear her voice outside the room.

What does this mean? It means that Natsumi Sakura is currently nearby, and she is trying to find her companions to reunite with.

After much deliberation, Yu Gongtaku decided to let her come with him.

So he went over and opened the door to the room. He was just about to call out to Natsumi Sakura when she unexpectedly screamed first.

Was it because a room door was suddenly opened that you were startled...? That's understandable.

"Stop yelling, stop yelling, it's me. Don't let those NPCs hear us, or it'll be a real problem."

Yu Gongtaku immediately stopped Natsunagi Sakura's screaming. While speaking, he looked around and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no NPCs around.

"Hanomiya-kun?" Upon seeing that it was Hanomiya Taku, Natsunagi Sakura was taken aback at first, then her face lit up with surprise. "I've finally found you guys."

“No, it’s me, not us,” Yu Gongtaku retorted as if telling a lame joke. “If you don’t want to act alone anymore, then come in.”

"it is good."

Having finally found a companion, how could Natsumi Sakura possibly refuse Yumiya Taku's invitation? So she immediately went into the room and started solving the puzzle with Yumiya Taku.

However, how could she possibly help Yu Gongtuo, who took so long to even solve the first puzzle?

Soon, her fighting spirit waned, and she lost all motivation to solve the puzzle, while Yu Gongtuo was focused on the riddle and paid no attention to her.

He was even considering calling Hengchuan Xinbei over, because the atmosphere was just too awkward. He couldn't communicate with Xia Nagi Sakura at all, or rather, he didn't dare to.

Whenever footsteps are heard outside the room, Hagiya Taku would stop what he was doing, and Natsunagi Sakura would remain silent.

However, thanks to the instructions from the front desk, even if the passing NPCs didn't know the situation inside the room, they would know that Yu Gongtuo and the other person were inside.

Therefore, Takumi Hagiya and Sakura Natsumi could not escape their fate of being captured. Although they eventually managed to escape, they lost their way and it took them a long time to finally find their room again.

So, Yu Gongtaku continued with the puzzle he had already solved halfway. As he became more and more adept at solving the puzzles, and because the later puzzles were much easier than the earlier ones, he quickly solved the second puzzle and obtained the key to the third area.

It's worth mentioning that Hanegami Taku and his group were the first to solve the second mystery, because Hengchuan Shinhoku and his group remained silent and no one spoke.

"Hanomiya-kun, I never expected you to be so amazing."

After solving the second puzzle, Natsunagi Sakura couldn't help but praise her.

"It was just good luck. Maybe New Taipei City had already solved the mystery and moved on to the third area."

Yu Gongtaku said, and Natsunagi Sakura didn't know if he was telling the truth or just being modest.

However, she didn't care about any of that. After arriving in the third area, since her activity range was smaller than that of the second area, she planned to meet up with Hengchuan Xinbei.

As for Yu Gongtaku, he can come along if he wants, but if he wants to act alone, she won't stop him.

Chapter 173 I'm very worried

Natsumi Sakura: "Abei, I've arrived at the third area. Where are you? I want to come and meet up with you."

Xia Nagi Sakura called out to Hengchuan Xinbei through the walkie-talkie, wondering if that guy had solved the second mystery.

Natsumi Sakura was relieved that Hagiya Taku didn't mention him on the walkie-talkie, because if Moriyama Omi knew that Hagiya Taku was acting with Natsumi Sakura, she would likely be angry.

Yu Gongtaku should know better than anyone just how terrifying a yandere can be when she gets angry, after all, he died sixteen times because of it.

Hengchuan New Taipei: "I've arrived. I'm in the third room now. Come find me."

Soon, Hengchuan Xinbei's voice came through the walkie-talkie. He had indeed solved the second puzzle and was now in the third area, having already found the room containing the third puzzle.

Natsunagi Sakura: "Okay, I'm coming right away."

Natsumi Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, because she was very afraid that Hengchuan Xinbei wasn't here.

After all, Yu Gongtaku wasn't her boyfriend, so he couldn't give her that sense of security. Moreover, Natsunagi Sakura knew that she couldn't stay with Yu Gongtaku all the time, because Moriyama Omi was still there.

"Then I'll go find Shin-Tokyo first. Do you want to come with me, Hagiya-kun?" Natsumi Sakura invited Hagiya Taku to go with her to find Hengchuan Shin-Tokyo.

"No, I have to go find Omi. I wonder if she has solved the second mystery." Yu Gong Tuo declined Xia Nagi Sakura's invitation because he knew he couldn't continue like this.

If Moriyama Omi is left out in the cold, who knows what terrible things might happen? At least, Hagiya Taku doesn't want to see those things happen.

Hagami Taku: "Oomi, where are you now?"

Taku Hagiya used the walkie-talkie to call Omi Moriyama, wanting to know where she was.

However, a long time passed and Takumi Hagiya did not receive a reply from Omi Moriyama, which made him nervous.

What's going on? Why is Moriyama Omi silent? Has something terrible really happened? I have to get to her side as soon as possible.

However, Takumi Hagiya has no idea where Omi Moriyama is, so even if he wanted to go to her, he couldn't, because he simply couldn't find her.

"Damn it, just say it!"

Unbeknownst to him, Yu Gongtuo began to become impatient, which caused him, who had been maintaining a calm demeanor, to start to lose his temper.

Fortunately, no NPC jumped out to stop him at this moment, otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee that Yu Gongtuo would not throw a punch directly at him.

His punch is no ordinary punch; if he were to strike with full force, it could kill someone instantly.

Yu Gongtaku didn't want to kill anyone, especially not in this kind of place, because it would have a bad influence, and he had a deep-seated aversion to the act of killing.

Therefore, it's best for those NPCs not to run into his face at times like this, otherwise Yu Gongtuo can't guarantee that he might do something outrageous.

Moriyama Omi: "Taku, I've just solved the second puzzle."

Just as Hagiya Taku was frantically searching for Moriyama Omi, her voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.

Yu Gongtaku: "Where are you now?"

Yu Gongtaku hurriedly asked Moriyama Omi where she was, perhaps unaware of his own emotions, because he almost burst into tears.

Damn it, couldn't you have just replied sooner? I was so worried.

Yu Gongtaku really wanted to say that, but he held back.

Hengchuan New Taipei: "A-Tuo, why does your voice sound like you're crying?"

At this moment, Hengchuan Xinbei suddenly jumped out and caused trouble, giving Yu Gongtuo an urge to punch him to the ground.

Moriyama Omi: "What's it to you? Tsunekawa-kun, mind your own business."

However, to Takumi Hagami's surprise, before he could even speak, Omi Moriyama retorted to Shinhoku Tsunekawa with an extremely sharp tone, making it impossible to associate her with the gentle and lovely girl she usually was.

Hengchuan New Taipei: "I'm sorry, Moriyama-kun, I said things I shouldn't have. And Taku too, I'm so sorry."

Hengchuan Xinbei was silent for a while, and then apologized to the two of them in a very humble manner. However, he still did not understand what he had done wrong and why Moriyama Omi was so angry.

Regarding this question, even Takumi Hagiya didn't know, because he hadn't seen Omi Moriyama since the moment he entered the escape room, and had no idea what she had gone through during that time.

Of course, in a facility with surveillance cameras everywhere, Moriyama Omi couldn't possibly encounter any bad things. The organizers weren't blind either; they were well aware of how precious their guest was, so they were extremely careful.

After that, as was his natural course of action, Hagiya Taku found Moriyama Omi. The two had barely met when Hagiya Taku hugged her tightly, while Moriyama Omi looked puzzled by his behavior.

"What's wrong, Taku? You look like you're about to cry." Moriyama Omi couldn't help but ask. She had heard Taku's voice sounding like he was about to cry through the walkie-talkie.

At the time, she thought that Yu Gongtuo had encountered something terrible, so she wanted to find him as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Hengchuan Xinbei suddenly appeared at that time, which made her furious and she retorted directly.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about you." Yu Gongtuo tried his best to control his emotions. He didn't know why he had become like this. It was as if as Moriyama Omi's yandere value decreased, he became more and more like a yandere.

Is it really true that spending too much time with a yandere will turn you into one? If that's true, then that's really bad.

Taku Hagiya didn't want Omi Moriyama to live with a yandere, and he didn't want to become a yandere himself, because he had been killed by yanderes sixteen times, so even now he still felt some resistance to the existence of yanderes.

The only reason he can get along well with Moriyama Omi is out of habit. If another yandere were to suddenly appear at this time, Hanomiya Taku would definitely run away as fast as he could, because that thing is just too terrifying.

"Why would anyone worry about me? Everyone's busy deciphering the secrets, right? And with so many surveillance cameras here, if something really happened to me, the organizers would definitely notify me immediately, wouldn't they?"

Moriyama Omi stroked Hagiya Taku's head to comfort him, and the scene looked extremely heartwarming. Even the person at the front desk watching the surveillance footage couldn't help but be stunned.

What's going on? How did these two get together? Are you kidding me? Even playing an escape room game has to involve them showing off their love? No way, I have to punish this adulterous couple.

So he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and began calling the surrounding NPCs to go to the location of Hanomiya Taku and Moriyama Omi.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. A group of NPCs surrounded them from all directions, but even so, the two of them managed to escape.

Chapter 174 The Person About to Die

White Valentine's Day has ended, and April is fast approaching.

However, just as April arrived, something very unpleasant happened.

The head of the Kamijou family, Seiichiro Kamijou, was nearing the end of his life. The doctor, who could no longer prolong his life, sent him back home, while Ayako Kamijou and the others began preparing for his funeral.

The death of the head of the Kamijou family will inevitably cause a great stir in Japan. All the major families will come to the funeral to confirm whether their rival is really dead.

......

"Xino, it's time to go."

At Hagiya Taku's house, the three of them packed their luggage, preparing to go to Kyoto. Because of their status, they were required to attend Kamijou Seiichiro's funeral.

Needless to say, Kamijo Hino is Kamijo Seiichiro's only child. Everyone else can be absent, but she is the only one who cannot.

The same goes for Hagiya Taku. As the next heir of the Kamijou family and the nephew of Kamijou Seiichiro, he also had to be present, though not as absolutely as Kamijou Hino.

As for Moriyama Omi, as the future wife of the head of the Kamijou family, she also needs to be present for various reasons, but even if she doesn't go, no one will know that Hanomiya Taku has such a girlfriend.

"You're here." Kamijo Hino stood there stunned until Hagami Taku called her name, and she finally came to her senses.

As her father was about to pass away, she was naturally extremely saddened, and she could only express this sadness to Takumi Hagami.

If it weren't for Moriyama Omi being there, Kamijou Hino would probably have burst into tears.

Chiyo Suzuki had been waiting outside for a long time. She didn't know how to comfort Hino Kamijou, and she also knew that the one who could truly comfort Hino Kamijou was not herself, but Taku Hagiya.

On the way to the airport, the four people in the car remained silent, even Moriyama Omi knew that she couldn't speak at this time.

Perhaps keeping silent is the best approach, because it avoids awkwardness for anyone and prevents any pent-up emotions from suddenly erupting.

Silence was the dominant theme of the day, and they remained so until they reached the airport, where a group of Kamijou family bodyguards were already waiting.

Because of the special purpose of their trip to Kyoto, Hagiya Taku and his group needed an escort, and these bodyguards were there to protect them and prevent any possible accidents.

"Young master, there are also two young ladies. Please come with us."

The bodyguard in the lead extended an invitation to the group, but Suzuki Chiyo didn't seem to be included.

"Young Master, Miss, I have some matters to attend to, so I won't be returning to Kyoto for the time being." Suzuki Chiyo placed her hands on her chest, expressing her apology to the three of them. "But don't worry, I will definitely be back before the head of the family's funeral begins."

Yu Gongtaku didn't know what she had to do, but he didn't ask too many questions, because he knew that Suzuki Chiyo was absolutely loyal to the Kamijou family and would never betray them no matter what happened. That was the only thing he was very sure of.
