While Mr. Lu was happily playing cards, Minamoto Tamako and her friends gathered at home, turned off the lights, and quietly waited.
More than an hour passed, and Fushimi Roku still had not returned.
Minamoto Tamako couldn't call to urge him, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. Fushimi Roku was cunning, and she wasn't good at lying; she might be exposed the moment she spoke.
Everyone was bored from waiting, and Watanabe Shun suggested playing the King's Game in the dark, but Kazama Tatsuya vetoed the idea. Recently, the two had been drinking together often, especially Kazama Tatsuya, who had to have two glasses of vodka every night.
Moriyama Yasurou grew impatient, fiddling with his phone without knowing who he was texting.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of door banging downstairs accompanied by a tongue-lashing, and Minamoto Tamako vaguely heard words like 'pay back.'
