The strategy of the other world of the love game

“Oh, I see.”

Arima Kana looked at Ezaki Ryoma thoughtfully.

Originally, she didn't know much about Ryoma Esaki, and she learned a lot of things indirectly through Ruby Hoshino.

Since Ryoma Esaki left the troupe, Ruby Hoshino no longer mentioned Ryoma Esaki.

In the past, Ruby Hoshino often talked about Ryoma Esaki, so frequently that even Kana Arima became a little impatient.

But after that, even when Magana asked about it, Ruby Hoshino remained silent, which added a bit of mystery to Ryoma Ezaki.

Now, Kana Arima finally meets Ryoma Esaki again, but after this period of contact, Kana Arima not only did not understand Ryoma Esaki better, but became even more mysterious.

This also increased her curiosity about Ryosuke Ezaki to an unprecedented level.

While Ryoma Ezaki was busy, on the other side, Junpei Iwase came to the side of the road and stopped a taxi.

After getting on the bus, he reached into his arms, intending to take out his notebook to confirm his next itinerary.

But when he touched the inner pocket where the notebook was, his expression suddenly changed.

He took something out of his pocket and saw that it was a box of Band-Aids, and his face was immediately puzzled.

When did I put this thing in my pocket?

He threw the Band-Aid aside and searched all his pockets carefully inside and out, but still could not find any trace of the notebook.

"Master, stop the car! Turn around and go back to where I got on the bus!"

Junpei Iwase shouted hurriedly.

Just now in the store he had written down the news headlines he had planned for that store and Arima Kana. Now that the notebook is missing, it could only be that it was lost in that store.

Moreover, he clearly remembered that he put the notebook back into his pocket after he finished writing, but now it inexplicably turned into a box of Band-Aids.

There must be something fishy here!

Could it be... that it was those guys who did this?

Thinking of this, Junpei Iwase's face turned gloomy.

If the contents of the notebook were seen by others... the consequences would be unimaginable!

You must be tough now and get the notebook back at any cost!

Because the discovery was made in time, the taxi did not drive far and soon returned to the restaurant entrance.

Junpei Iwase got off the car, briefly told the driver to wait for him here, and then walked straight towards the restaurant.

He didn't dare to run all the way there, as that would reveal that the notebook was too important to him. He had offended the people in this restaurant before, and if the restaurant insisted that the notebook was not in the store and would not be returned to him, he would be in big trouble.

Therefore, no matter how panicked he is, he must maintain the most basic calmness.

Junpei Iwase pushed open the door of the store, ignored the waiter who came to greet him, and went straight to the seat where Arimaka was sitting.

But when he saw that the place was empty, he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Hey! Where are the people who were here just now? A man and a woman, where did they go?"

Junpei Iwase grabbed a waiter who was passing by with a tray of food and asked.

The waiter fumbled to steady the plate so it didn't break into pieces.

He wanted to get angry, but when he turned around and saw Junpei Iwase's face, his anger immediately turned into panic.

She was in the store seeing everything clearly when Junpei Iwase threatened Ida just now.

"I... I don't know. I remember they left not long after you left..."

The waiter answered honestly.

"Damn it! They really took it away!"

Junpei Iwase roared, and when he looked at the waitress again, his eyes seemed as if he wanted to eat her alive, scaring the waitress so much that she didn't dare to breathe.

"Go tell your store manager that I lost something very important in your store, and it's very likely that it was stolen by those two little bastards just now."

"If it can't be found, your store and all the employees who were there at the time will be held responsible!"

"When the time comes, you will be prepared to bear my wrath!"

The waiter was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was trembling with fear and couldn't utter a word.

"Did our clerk do anything to make you unhappy?"

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind Junpei Iwase.

Junpei Iwase turned around and saw a short but strong middle-aged man standing behind him.

"Are you the store manager here?"

"Yes."

The store manager nodded.

"We can talk slowly if we have anything to say. Can you let our store clerk go first?"

"Humph! I lost something very important in your store. As the store manager, you didn't solve the problem for the customer, and you talked to me with this attitude. Isn't that good?"

Junpei Iwase did not hide the threat in his words at all.

"If the general public knew about this, who would be willing to dine in your restaurant?"

The store manager was unmoved upon hearing this, instead a hint of unkindness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that his threat didn't work, Junpei Iwase frowned slightly.

What's going on with this store? Why are everyone from the store manager to the staff so ignorant that they won't cry until they see the coffin?

Just when Junpei Iwase thought he would have to argue with the store manager for a while, the store manager suddenly took out a notebook from his pocket.

"Excuse me, sir, is this the thing you lost?"

"That's right! That's it!"

Junpei Iwase subconsciously reached out to snatch it, but after coming to his senses, he suppressed the impulse.

If the store manager could realize that this thing is particularly important to him, maybe he would become the master of the show!

However, not everyone in this world is as dark as Junpei Iwase imagined.

The store manager didn't care about his unfriendly attitude just now and simply returned the notebook to Junpei Iwase.

"This was discovered when the clerk was cleaning the table just now. I'm very sorry for the trouble. You are welcome to come next time."

After returning the notebook to Junpei Iwase, the store manager nodded slightly to apologize, then turned around and prepared to return to his post.

"and many more!"

After getting the notebook, Junpei Iwase did not give up, but instead continued to pester.

"I need to check if the things are intact and have not been rummaged through."

Junpei Iwase gave a sinister smile.

"I have taken security measures in this notebook. If someone rashly flips through it, I will know immediately!"

"If I find out that your staff has taken a customer's lost property, expect to see it on the news!"

When the store manager heard this, his expression finally wavered a little.

The employees in his store are trained very strictly and would never touch anything lost by customers.

But this notebook was given to him by Iida, and Iida had just had an argument with Junpei Iwase, so he couldn't confirm whether Iida had actually flipped through this notebook.

After making these harsh remarks, Iwase Jun quickly opened his notes to check.

He put a special "bookmark" in this notebook. It was a very small piece of toilet paper scraps, even only a thin layer, and it was impossible to find it without careful observation.

If someone rashly opened his notes, this inconspicuous piece of paper would fall off, exposing the fact that the notes had been turned over.

The scraps of paper are sandwiched between the leather cover and the side layer of the inner pages, so no matter which page you open, the scraps of paper will fall out.

The moment Junpei Iwase opened the notebook, a piece of paper floated out from the interlayer.

This finally made him feel relieved.

The notes have never been opened, so it seems I was worrying too much.

Come to think of it, there is no way those guys could realize how important this notebook is to them. From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary notebook. Why would they be interested in this notebook?

As expected, worrying too much makes me confused. The panic of losing my notes made me think too much.

Junpei Iwase didn't suspect anything and put away his notebook.

"It seems that you have nothing else to do, guest."

The store manager heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this and turned back to his post.

Junpei Iwase didn't argue any further, but he still couldn't figure out where the box of Band-Aids in his pocket came from.

But the urgent call from the customer made him no longer have time to think, and he quickly got back into the taxi and rushed to his destination.

-----------------

"Ezaki-kun, why did you return the notebook to that Iwase guy?"

Arima Kana looked at Ryoma Ezaki across the table, and finally couldn't hold back the confusion in her heart and asked.

"Since this notebook is so valuable, shouldn't we hide it well and make that bastard die of anxiety?"

At this time, the two had already moved to a third restaurant and specifically found one with a private room to avoid being recognized and disturbed by "acquaintances" again.

"In order not to alert the enemy."

Ryosaki Esaki explained simply.

"People like Iwase are suspicious by nature. If his notebook is lost, he would definitely take care of his connections first to avoid any accidents, even if it is for the sake of preparing for a rainy day."

"Our goal is not to rush him a few times, but to defeat him completely and make him completely lose the ability to retaliate against us."

When saying this, Ryosaki Ezaki's tone was very calm, but it made Arima Kana feel a chill.

At this time, Jiang Qiliang was really looking at the photos in his mobile phone. These photos were the contents of the notes he had just taken.

"But it's thanks to you, Ezaki-kun, that you found Iwase's privacy insurance. Now he shouldn't be suspicious."

Recalling the moment when she took the photo of the notebook, Arima Kane sighed.

Before opening the notebook, Ryoma Esaki guessed that Junpei Iwase would have taken protective measures, so he checked it carefully and soon found the thin piece of toilet paper in the interlayer.

If you open it rashly, especially in a place like a restaurant, it would be impossible to realize that this is a protective measure set up by Junpei Iwase.

Even after discovering this, Ryoma Ezaki did not let his guard down. He checked it carefully inside and out, and only opened the box after finding that there was no second layer of protection.

In comparison, Junpei Iwase's number of floors is far behind.

"Whether he will become suspicious is not something we can decide. I can only say that I have tried my best to reduce the chances of him becoming suspicious."

Ryoma Esaki said as he studied the contents of his notes.

"So we can't slack off. We have to speed up and try to make all the preparations before he notices."

"What other preparations are there? There's no need to go through so much trouble."

There is Magana Road.

"There must be a lot of shameful things in his notebook. Can't we just hand it over to the police and let them arrest him?"

"No, that's not enough."

Ryosaki Ezaki shook his head.

"And unfortunately, the contents of the notebook are not sufficient evidence to directly convict Iwase."

"Eh? Then what should we do?"

Arima Kanae panicked upon hearing this.

She is just a small idol, and the only way she can think of to deal with Junpei Iwase is to use legal weapons.

But if the evidence in their hands is not enough to convict Junpei Iwase, Arima Kana has no idea how to deal with Junpei Iwase.

"Ms. Kana, are you willing to believe me?"

Ryoma Ezaki suddenly put away his phone and looked at Kana Arima seriously.

"Of course, although we are not very familiar with each other, if you hadn't stolen the notes just now, I would still be helpless against that guy Iwase."
