Therefore, as Chiba Shigetarou waded through the water towards Aoto, he spoke leisurely:
"Mr. Tachibana, I'll get straight to the point first..."
His robust body, like a solid icebreaker, "crashed through" all the water obstructing his way,
Chiba Shigetarou's move startled Aoto, Kondo, and Inoue.
If Chiba Shigetarou were allowed to get close to Aoto... he might very well discover Toshisuke hiding behind Aoto!
At this critical moment, a look of determination flashed in Inoue's eyes.
"Mr. Tachibana, from August 23rd to August 25th..."
"Ugh...! Ugh ugh...! Ah ah...!"
Suddenly, Inoue raised his hand to cover his face tightly, letting out a pained moan.
Though the moan was not loud, its volume was enough for everyone present to hear it clearly.
Inoue's sudden pained moan naturally drew the attention of Aoto, Kondo, and Chiba Shigetarou.
"Mr. Inoue." Chiba Shigetarou halted and turned his surprised gaze towards Inoue. "What's wrong with you?"
