Chapter 113
Kacha
The sound drew back Rentaro who was at the window . He turned around to look at the entrance .
Kisara dressed in her usual black sailor uniform entered the office . Rentaro is a bit bewildered and he wondered if he’s imagining it .
Somehow, Kisara looked awfully flushed and her breathing is rushed . Her heaving bosom made Rentaro very uncomfortable .
“Kisarsan?”
Rentaro asked .
“What’s wrong?”
“What do you mean by that?”
Kisara forcefully smiled and anyone could tell she’s hiding something since she avoided eye contact with Rentaro .
“More like, Rentaro-kun, what are you doing here?”
“Me?”
Rentaro scratched his head . He suppressed his curiosity and he replied .
“Didn’t you hear the loud sound just now? It sounded like a massive car accident, right?”
Rentaro is even more confused .
“Kisarsan just came in, don’t tell me you didn’t hear it?”
“Th-this…”
Kisara started stuttering which made Rentaro even more suspicious . A mysterious sense of discomfort rose up in Rentaro’s heart .
Kisara’s trying to hide something from him, a most peculiar behavior for her .
Another person chimed in with a helpless tone .
“Look, if you’re going to talk, can you go in and not block the door for other people?”
“—!”
Kisara scurried away in shock after hearing his voice .
“Eh?”

Rentaro gasped .
“Noah?”
“Yo, what’s up, Rentaro?”
In stark contrast to Kisara, Noah is cool as a cucumber when he greeted Rentaro .
“Where’s Enju?”
“Oh, don’t even get me started . ”
Rentaro sighed .
“She said something about watching Tenbatsu Shoujo anime and she holed up inside Fairy Tail without coming out since . ”
“Oh, really?”
Noah chuckled .
“That sounds like her . ”
“I know right?”
Noah’s nonchalant attitude drew a pout from Kisara . She threw a hissy fit .
“Oh, I thought Fairy Tail’s big and might guildmaster couldn’t be bothered with a small and insignificant firm like ours?”
Rentaro twitched in astonishment while Noah is rendered speechless .
What’s her deal?
Why is she so upset?
Noah glanced at her and he subconsciously compared her dressed appearance with her disrobed figure . He used an antagonistic tone with her .
“Oh dear, Fairy Tail is such a poor organization it can only afford to live in the outer regions, surely we can’t compare to the great young miss of the Tendo clan . ”
“I am me! Tendo is Tendo!”
Kisara retorted with a leer .
“Don’t lump me in with the Tendo bunch!”

“Oh?”
Noah laughed apologetically .
“Then I’m sorry . ”
Noah and Kisara glared at each other with imaginary sparks between them . One of them suddenly turned awkward while the other one blushed and averted her gaze .
Rentaro is perplexed, to say the least .
If Kano or Enju is here, they would have noticed something . At least, they would have known that they are just using this pointless banter to hide their shame .
Rentaro is too dense for that, he asked while trying not to set off any bombs .
“Erm, you two, what’s going on here?”
“Nothing is going on!”
Kisara and Noah shot back at the same time . Then, they stared at each other .
“Don’t copy me!’
“You’re the one who copied me!”
“Are you doing this on purpose?”
“You…”
Noah and Kisara are in sync as they tried to shoot each other with words .
After they have calmed down, the way they stared at each other made the air in the room get a bit too charged for anyone’s comfort .
Although he’s clueless, Rentaro reckons that it’s best if he didn’t ask so many questions .
“Y-you know…”
Rentaro looked at Noah to defuse this situation .
“Noah, why are you here?”
Noah’s question sparked the same question in Kisara’s mind . Noah also recalled the reason he’s here . He used a serious face and he asked Rentaro .
“Miori said you have something that I requested, she passed it to you and told you to pass it to me, is that right?”

Rentaro’s expression turned grim . He can’t hide the disquiet in his voice .
Kisara knitted her brows, she had noticed the change in the mood so she turned her attention towards Rentaro .
“Rentaro-kun, what is it?”
Rentaro didn’t answer her . Instead, he thought for a bit before he took out a bunch of papers from his inner pocket .
Noah tried to retrieve them but Rentaro distanced himself .
“Why do you want this?”
Rentaro looked intently at Noah while holding the papers .
“I’m sorry but I gleaned the documents and I hope you can give me an explanation . ”
Noah inwardly sighed .
So it turned out like this, huh?
“Rentaro-kun . ”
Kisara noticed that it’s not as simple as it looks, she got closer to Rentaro without minding the earlier altercation between herself and Noah .
“What’s that you got in your hands?”
“Kisarsan…’
Rentaro looks conflicted for a moment but he relented in the end .
“It’s incriminating evidence on a lot of officials who belonged to the Tendo clan . It’s very shady stuff like corruption and embezzlement of funds . ”
“Tendo…”
Kisara’s eyes shrunk and the next instant, her eyes widened . With trembling hands, she tried to obtain the document in Rentaro’s hands .
Rentaro knew she would act like this, he tried to raised his hand and Noah snatched it with his speed .
“Gimme!”
Before Rentaro can say anything, Kisara emotionally pounced on Noah .
“Give it to me!”
Noah dodged her and he is intrigued by her over-the-top reaction .
“What are you going to do with it?”
“I could ask the same of you . ”
Kisara adjusted her breathing and she growled at him .
“What are you going to do with it?”
Noah knew the moment Miori told him that the documents are in Rentaro’s hands that he’s going to get questioned by them .
Looking at Kisara’s reaction, Noah replied after thinking about it .
“If I say, it’s going to be the last nail in the coffin when I overthrow the Tendo family, what are you doing to do about it?”
The room fell silent .
“Overthrow… Tendo family…”
Rentaro mumbled out loud .
“As expected…”
“Overthrowing… the Tendo Clan…”
Kisara mumbled to herself . A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes but she quickly made up her mind .
No, rather than resolve, it’s more like the reckless abandon of a trapped demon .
“I can do it too!”
Kisara stared intently at Noah, her voice sounded like it came from the deepest abyss of her soul .
“I can help you destroy the Tendo clan!”
Rentaro’s expression crumbled but he didn’t voice his opinion .
Noah frowned, this is a very rare and unusual side of Kisara . She’s behaving very maliciously right now but he didn’t say it out loud .
Thinking about it, he took another look at Kisara and he walked out of the office, leaving her with one final message .
“We will save this for another time…”
Rentaro stopped for a bit but he pursued Noah, leaving Kisara in the office . She stared at the door in silence .
