Book 5! Reader X Baki Characters ~The Bottle Of Curse~

I'm not like him

Katsumi->"Underwater?,how is that possible?How can someone even find it?"

"I have my suspicions that it wasn't underwater at first,and that maybe someone caused it to.Perhaps...,it was bombed..Surely the government is responsible for that".

"Why do you assume that it was bombed?And if it was,the map wouldn't be able to have that written on it since it's more than 3000 years old!".

"Because missy,cowards like the government are afraid of the supernatural and once something such as it is discovered they cover it up so nobody else finds out.Do you really think they would keep something like this public?And about that...,you're right but take a closer look to the picture",he pointed at the picture of the map in his phone,specifically at the corner where the word water in ancient Greek letters was written.

"Hm?",you took his phone as he handed it to you,and Oliva,Retsu and Hanayama who were sitting on the same couch as you,leaned in to take a closer look themselves.

"Woah!,look!If you look closer it looks like there were other words written before the word water underneath it!,as if they got erased afterwards!",Oliva said and the rest who weren't able to look at the screen wanted to look too.

"How is that even... Possible..?",you said out loud looking at the picture in disbelief as you zoomed in closer.Truly,there were several faded stacked up words behind the clear word on the side of the map,they were so many you couldn't even tell how many they were.

"Anything is possible Y/n", Yujiro mocked and you frowned at him."As the years passed,the island's location changed multiple times for unknown reasons,but right now what matters is that it's underwater,but we don't know where.And the only one who is responsible and knows about it is the government".

"Fine fine,maybe you do have a point and what you said is true.But,our solution to that is simple if things are like that.One of us here has connections to the government and that person is you.All of us know that you're often associating with people like that so why don't you ask one of them about it?,maybe you can threaten them to tell you!"

. . .

Yujiro raised an eyebrow from your idea in amusement,he wasn't expecting you to bring up his connections with people from the government.It was true,he had personal connections with them but he had never acknowledged them as people who could help him.

"And who told you I like to to associate with them".

"Huh?"

"The government is just another weak institution full of empty promises and empty hearts.Its filled with those too weak to take matters in their own hands.They rely on rules,laws and regulations to control the masses,it's pitiful,really,and I certainly don't want to stoop so low like you and ask help from them".

"Then wha!"-

"However,I know someone else who...Used to have connections with someone working for people connected to the government...",he grinned and your frown slightly relaxed.

"Ookayyy.Spill it out!"

"Man why am I always the one who has to do the job!",you muttered to yourself as the taxi took you to the location Yujiro told you to go to.
