The next day, Ken is seen wearing his school uniform, walking on a quiet street around a residential area, the same route that Ken usually takes to get to school. To his left, is the descent to the river below. While walking, Ken passes by a woman who is wearing a black suit and white shirt and appears to be going to work. When he passed the woman, Ken felt a strange feeling, a kind of foreboding, in the person, which made Ken turn to look at the person. With an astonished expression, Ken thought to himself

"I don't know why I have a strange feeling when I run into that person, even though I don't know what and why"

Ken decided not to think about it too much, and he then walked away from here.

The time now shows 7:50 am, Ken is now have been in his class. Ken appeared lost in thought, looking out of his window with his cheek supported by his hand. Ken remembered, when Asanuma appeared in front of him, with his fierce form, and the intimidating glare of his eyes. Before long, Ken’s male friend sitting next to him, brought him to his senses, by patting him on the shoulder

"Hey Ken, are you daydreaming?"

Ken looked at his friend, his facial expression turned awkward

"No, I was just thinking about today's lesson"

Hearing this, his friend's expression turned astonished, Ken then smiled awkwardly.

The time is now shown at 3:00 pm, Ken appears to be in his class. The class has just ended, The female teacher in front of the class then said

"Okay kids, our lesson is enough for today"

Ken and his other classmates greeted the teacher, and she then walked out of the room. The students in the class started to tidy up their things, including Ken. The male friend beside Ken said

"There's a cafe that just opened in the city, they say the food and drinks are delicious, want to try it?"

Ken smiled

"Okay, I also happen to have nothing to do"

Ken and his 3 male friends then walked out of the classroom.

Ken and 3 of his friends are now walking on the sidewalk, in front of the shopping buildings in the city. They walked while talking to each other, Ken appeared to smile. Before long, they passed a man wearing a bomber jacket and baseball cap, Ken again felt the strange feeling he had before, Ken stopped his steps and turned to look at the back of the man in the jacket

"This strange feeling again, what exactly happened to me?"

Ken said with a surprised expression. Because it was only cursory and did not pay much attention, Ken did not see the person's face. On the other hand, Ken's friends are stopping their steps and waiting for Ken. One of them shouted

"Hoooi, Ken, what are you doing?"

Ken was immediately aware, and he then ran towards his friends who were waiting.

The current time is 5:30 pm. Ken is now walking into his house through the front door. Ken said loudly

"I am home"

Ken said as he took off his shoes, It appears that there is no answer. Ken then walked to his room on the 2nd floor. In his room, Ken put his school tote bag, he then lay down on his bed

“Today feels really weird…”

Not long after, Ken's smartphone rang, he then took his smartphone from his pocket. While lying down, Ken looked at his smartphone screen, it showed that the one calling him was his grandfather, Makoto. Ken was surprised, he then took a sitting position

"It's not usual for grandpa to call me?"

Ken then answered the phone

"Hello, grandpa?"

Elsewhere, Makoto is in one of the recreation rooms in the main house, he calls Ken while standing in front of the tall window door, looking out at the front yard of the Takeru extended family's main house

"Hello Ken, how are you?"

Ken replied

"I'm fine grandpa, we just met yesterday"

Hearing this, made Makoto laugh

"That's right, hahaha, oh right Ken, I want to tell you if you want to come here, I will send a driver to pick you up, so you don't have to bother"

Ken appeared reluctant, he immediately replied

"I'm the one who said that, there's no need to bother grandpa, I can go there myself"

Makoto replied

"Are you sure? Of course, it doesn't bother me"

Ken replied

"No grandpa, just let me be alone. Besides, I don't know when I will go there"

Makoto's expression turned astonished

"In that case, okay. I just wanted to tell you that, sorry for disturbing your activities"

Ken looked reluctant again, he then answered in a polite tone

"It doesn't bother me at all, I'm actually happy. Thank you for calling”

Makoto smiled, They both then ended the call. Ken said

“I feel bad for grandpa…”

Ken was reminded again of his strange experience before, about some kind of strange feeling like a premonition he didn't know what, when passing several people

"If I think back, this thing happened after I met with Asanuma, does it have anything to do with it?"

Ken was silent in thought, his expression turned curious

"Tomorrow, after school, I will go to Grandpa's place"

The current time is 6:00 pm. The sky was getting darker, but clear. Ken is now walking out of his house wearing a white sweater and black long training pants. While carrying his school tote bag

"I almost forgot that there was an appointment to study together tonight, Asanuma really made me keep thinking of him..."

Ken continued walking at an accelerated pace.

The current time is 9:00 pm. The sky was pitch black, Ken walked out of a two-story house belonging to one of his female friends, and his other two male friends also walked out with Ken. They said goodbye to their female friends in the house, then walked away from here together.

Sometime later, Ken walked alone to his house, he is just about to enter the area of ​​the housing complex where his house was located, with the main highway on his right. Ken walked past a bus stop, and not long after, a bus came and stopped at this bus stop. From inside the bus got off some passengers, a man in his 20s wearing a backpack, along with a man who is also in his 20s who is quite familiar to Ken, a man in a black bomber jacket and a black baseball cap, with a white t-shirt, and black jeans. This man in the jacket is the man who previously gave Ken a strange feeling when he passed him before. Ken immediately realized this man because he still remembered the jacket he was wearing. This time, Ken could clearly see his face. Ken thought to himself

"That man, I met him this afternoon"

The two men are walking opposite Ken while talking to each other about renting an apartment. Ken finally crossed paths with the man in the jacket.

When they passed each other, Ken again felt the strange feeling from before, making Ken stop in his tracks, with a surprised expression on his face. Ken immediately turned around and faced the 2 people behind him, who is walking further and further away from him. Ken thought to himself

"It's not just my hunch, I really feel something that I can't even explain"

Ken's expression turned serious, and he then decided to follow the man in the jacket earlier.

After some time, Ken is now following the two men carefully. While hiding behind objects and darkness, Ken has succeeded in following these two men without them knowing. They arrived in a deserted area, where there was an old 2-story apartment building that looked abandoned. This apartment building has a row of apartment room doors that lead to the terrace on the first floor, and a veranda on the 2nd floor. The stairs to the 2nd floor are at the right and left ends of the building. In front of this building, there is a car park that is filled with some used furniture such as a dilapidated sofa. Seeing this, the man in the backpack looked doubtful, but the man in the jacket is trying to persuade him. Ken, who was hiding behind a power pole, had been watching them, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. The man with the backpack said

"Is it true that the location of the apartment to rent is here?"

The man in the jacket answered

"Yeah, you don't need to pay attention to the outside, the back will be better, that's why the rent is cheap"

The man in the backpack still appeared a little hesitant. The man in the jacket and the other man with him then walked in through the front gate of this apartment building which was a sliding gate that had been half opened. Ken who was still hiding behind the electric pole, his expression turned suspicious. Ken thought to himself

“That guy in the jacket is really suspicious, I better follow them…”

Ken came out of hiding and followed them back carefully.
