Jiang Xia looked again at the glittering sea in the distance. "Come to think of it, you were pretty lucky—both the mountain wind and sea wind were strong at night. Gliding while carrying someone in weather like that, one small mistake and you might have veered into the sea with Miss Chizuru, then vanished along with your hang glider."
The store manager chuckled at that. "I was surprised too. I hadn't flown in so many years, yet I could still control my direction in such strong winds. Thinking about it now, maybe Teruhiko was watching over me."
The unfortunate store manager, who had lost everything, was handcuffed by the police and escorted into a police car, his heart full of complicated feelings toward his younger brother and his younger brother's ex-girlfriend.
Watching this, Curacao realized in despair that it really was over: the reversal she had imagined—"On the surface, it looks like this, but in truth, the real culprit is Haga Kyosuke"—never came.
After a brief silence, Curacao crushed the coffee can in her hand with a creak. She desperately wanted to grab Uzo by the collar and shake him while demanding where Haga Kyosuke was. He had set up someone like that and then not used him—didn't he think something was missing from this stage??!
People did not share one another's joys and sorrows.
Chianti: [Hahaha, I guessed right again! Uzo just loves tormenting handsome guys. But why are there so few coins in the settlement? Who stole my coins?]
She opened the settlement screen to see who had made the same bet as her. When she checked, she found an unfamiliar nickname: R.
...Rum?
Chianti: "..."
It was not as though she could not curse the second-in-command, but there was no need to specifically type out an insult.
