15 No Love Zone - 12

Renji, who was sitting on the sofa in his study, folded his hands in front of his chest, looking at Azami who was sitting across from him with sharp eyes.

"So, can you explain why during this one month you never contacted me at all?"

Azami, who had expected that he would be interrogated by Renji, let out a long sigh. Luckily for Yuri, who is currently playing with Renji's two children and his wife.

"Sorry uncle, during this month I did not contact you at all. Actually one day after we arrived in Yokohama, we had a robbery incident and all the things we carried were robbed so that we didn't separate. "

Renji's eyes widened in surprise. "What did you say?! You had a robbery ??! Were there people who helped you when that happened ?! "

Azami nodded his head slowly. "Yes, we were helped by several people who were around there. And after that incident until now we live in the house of a cafe owner. I also work in his cafe to pay compensation for the costs he has spent taking care of me and Yuri. "

"How many?"

Azami frowned in surprise. "How much, what uncle?"

Renji sighed. "What is the total cost you have to replace? Let me pay for it, you just need to focus on learning about the world of business. "

"No need uncle. Besides, I don't mind at all if I have to work in a cafe and stay at him house. " Refuted Azami who didn't want to trouble Renji.

Azami could hear Renji sighing deeply. "Then let me give you money for you to stay there."

"It doesn't need to be uncle. The salary given by the cafe owner is enough for me and Yuri. "

Renji frowned in surprise. "Azami-kun, why do you always refuse help from me?"

Azami rubbed the nape of his neck lightly. "I just don't want to trouble Uncle. Yuri and I can take care of ourselves. "

"Fine if you think like that. If one day you need help, feel free to ask me for help, Azami-kun. "

Azami nodded his head quickly. "Must be uncle."

Renji got up from his seat, then walked to his desk and took a brown envelope that was stored in his drawer.

"I know you haven't been able to find your father's colleague's house, have you? When I tidied up your father's workspace in the office and also at home, I found several other files that might help you find your father's colleague. "

Azami took over the brown envelope Renji gave him and opened it.

Inside the envelope there were several photos and several documents that he had never seen.

Azami was interested to see some old photos inside the envelope.

A frown was printed on Azami's forehead when he saw a photo of a girl and a boy holding hands smiling towards the camera.

"Uncle, the girl in this photo looks very familiar." Said Azami which made Renji feel curious then walked over to Azami.

After approaching Azami, Renji was silent for a moment watching the photo Azami was holding before he laughed amused.

"Have you forgotten your own face Azami-kun?"

Azami frowned even more in surprise at Renji's question. "You mean uncle?"

Renji was still laughing, amused. "This is the three year old you Azami-kun. At that time, your mother who saw you was very cute with a long haircut, very aggressively dressed you in girl's clothes. Then when you were about to enter elementary school, then your mother cut your hair short and bought you clothes for boys in general. "

"Then who is the boy next to me?" Asked Azami again, this time pointing at the boy's photo.

"For that I do not know, as if it was the son of one of your father's business partners. Try to see behind it, is there any other information." Renji replied, which immediately made Azami turn the photo over, but there was nothing written on it.

Renji, who knew that there was no information whatsoever, immediately took another photo containing a photo of Azami as a child and the boy.

Renji's hand movements stopped when he saw a photo containing a young Yusuke, Aoi and Azami along with several other people he did not know, including the boy who had been having a photo moment with Azami.

Renji narrowed his eyes at the writing that could be seen vaguely under the photo.

"Yokohama, 1999 Hopefully our business relationship can be like a family relationship."

Renji rounded his eyes in surprise and quickly flipped the photo, wishing it had other information there, but it was a shame. Behind the photo does not have any description.

"Azami-kun, looks like this can be one of the hints for you." Renji said, making Azami who was reading the documents in the brown envelope immediately turned his head towards Renji.

"Even though there is no other explanation in this photo, it looks like the faces of the people in this photo can be your clue. Or maybe you've seen houses like this in Yokohama? "

Azami frowned in surprise. He did not recognize the faces of the people in the photo, except his father and mother.

"I haven't had time to go around any further. So I've never seen a house building like that there. "

Renji sighed. "You better take this photo with you. So that when you return there you can look for it."

Azami nodded his head then accepted the photo and placed it on the sheet of other photos.

"Oh uncle. I almost forgot my main purpose in coming to meet you. "

Renji turned his head towards Azami. "Let me guess, you must want to ask about what is being reported about your family company, right?"

Azami nodded his head again. "Right, what is reported is true? Regarding the artists' schedules that have changed, then about the bodies of the father and mother who have been found? "

Renji was silent for a moment. "Yes, the news is true Azami-kun. The artist's schedule has changed, then also regarding the bodies of your father and mother that have been found and a re-funeral is being held. "

"As for the artists' schedule changes, I will show it to you. I've asked your father's secretary for a copy without your uncle's knowledge. "

Azami's gaze continued to follow Renji who was currently walking towards his desk and took out a document.

"You can see it right away. I asked for a copy of this to continue monitoring. If there is something really strange, then I will tell you right away. "

Azami also received the document given by Renji. Documents containing data about idols, models, actors and actresses who are under the auspices of A&Y Group. The company is engaged in the entertainment world that his father founded. A&Y Group, including the top three companies in the world of entertainment. A&Y Group has models, idols. Very professional and talented actor and actress.

That's why Azami felt a little hesitant about taking over the company his late father had founded. Although he always secretly asked questions and got direct explanations from his late father about the movements and performance in an entertainment company.

Azami frowned in surprise reading the document Renji gave him earlier. The document containing the comparison of the artist's schedule compiled by his father and the new one compiled by his uncle.

"Joe and Ayumi don't they still have a partnership with a magazine company in London? Why are they scheduled to do more activities in Japan? This month, they should be shooting again, right? " Asked Azami looking at the irregularities in the schedule made by his uncle.

"That's what makes me, Joe and Ayumi surprised. If the two of them within six months don't shoot there again, then the cooperation contract that we have will be canceled and there will also be a fine that we have to pay. " Renji replied looking at Azami seriously.

"Mioko-san too, why was the fan meeting event canceled? Isn't it that every time she releases a new album, a fan meeting is always held to increase the number of album purchases she has? " Asked Azami again, who couldn't stop thinking about his uncle's way of thinking. Why do most of the schedules arranged by his father just change. Even Azami could already imagine how much money the company would spend on this schedule change.

"Boyluv is a rookie boy group. Why is their promotion rate lower? They should be the ones who are the most improved for their promotion. "

"Doesn't Hana-Neesan hate horror movies? Why is she undergoing a casting for the latest horror film?? What was on Uncle Ken's mind when making this schedule??"

Azami closed his eyes tightly, then let out a long sigh. Reji, who saw Azami looking so depressed, poured the tea over Azami's cup and then thrust it in front of Azami.

"Calm down Azami. You better drink first. "

With a little holding back his emotions, Azami put the document he had read back onto the table then accepted the teacup that was handed out by Renji and drank it.

"Uncle, can I ask all the contacts of the companies we work with? Then I also want to ask the contact managers of all our artists. "

Renji who heard Azami's words had a grin on his face. "Of course. Do you want to do guerrilla action, Azami-kun? "

Azami shook his head lightly. "Not. This is not the time for me to interfere with what Uncle Ken was planning yet. I want to see him feel the repercussions he's done for changing a large part of the company's schedule. "

"And also, if indeed according to uncle, the condition of the company is very precarious. I want you to spread the word about me, whatever. It's just me, Yuri don't. She's still too young. "

Renji excitedly nodded his head. "Very well, I will definitely do very well. You don't need to worry. "

Now Azami glances his eyes at the clock in Renji's study. "Okay uncle, then me and Yuri go home now. We had an appointment with one of the cafe employees who invited us to meet again in front of the station at five o'clock. "

Renji also turned his head to look at the clock on the wall. "You still have more time, Azami-kun. Why not stay here any longer? "

Azami shook his head as he got up from his seat. "I don't want him to be suspicious. Therefore I will contact him when my business is finished. "

"Okay if that's what you want. I will send this document the soft file along with the data you requested earlier. "

Azami put a small smile on his face. "Thank you very much uncle. Sorry if I bothered you. "

"If you always say like that, then I will not hesitate to hit you someday if you talk like that again." Renji threw a threat to Azami, who was responded with amused laughter.

"Azami-kun, are you and Yu-chan leaving already?" Asked a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful with an apron attached to her body.

"Yes, Aunt Makoto. Next time we will play even longer. " Azami replied walking over to Yuri who was watching television with Renji's children.

"I made some snacks for you to take home. You guys don't forget to eat and don't forget to rest. " Makoto said while handing a large enough package to Azami.

"Thank you very much aunt. You don't have to bother blinding us the snacks. " Azami replied, who felt bad because it made Makoto and Renji bother bringing food for himself and Yuri.

A smile was printed on Makoto's face. "I have considered you as your own children. So you don't need to feel embarrassed. "

Azami put a smile back on him face. "Thank you, aunt. Then me and Yuri go home first. "

Azami and Yuri bowed their bodies to Renji and Makoto.

"You be careful. Feel free to contact us. " Makoto said, accompanying Azami and Yuri, along with Renji to the front door of the house.

"Yes aunt, uncle. We'll go first. "

After that, Azami and Yuri walked away from Renji's house.

"Niichan, are we really not going back to our house?" Yuri asked timidly without turning her head towards Azami.

Azami who saw Yuri asked without looking at him also let out a long sigh. Then he tightened his grip on Yuri's little fingers.

"It's not time for us to go home right now, Yu-chan. Later there will be a time when we can go home and live back in the house that belongs to our family. " Azami replied, who immediately made Yuri turn her head towards him with teary eyes.

"Is that true Niichan? We can live in our house again ??! "

Azami nodded his head for sure. "Of course! For now we will stay at Juza-san's house. You don't mind if we stay at Juza-san's house? "

Yuri quickly shook her head. "No, I'm very happy staying at uncle Juza's house. All uncles are nice to me, so I don't get bored when Niichan goes to work at the cafe. "

Azami returned a smile on his face. "It's good if you like staying at Juza-san's house. They will definitely be happy to see us come home with lots of food. "

"Certainly! What's more, Aunt Makoto's cooking is so delicious! "

Azami agreed to what Yuri said. "Yes you're right. I guess we should go home with Goshi-san right away! "

"Let's go home with Goshi-san!"

Azami chuckled at Yuri's cheerful exclamation. Now Azami and Yuri were rushing towards the train station, where they could both see Goshi leaning against the wall with his hands full of shopping bags.

"Hey! You guys like having fun too huh! " Exclaimed Goshi who saw Azami coming with a sack big enough.

Azami nodded his head slowly. "Yes, we visited one of the relatives' homes and here are some gifts from them."

Both of Goshi's eyes sparkled at Azami's words. "Then let's go home now! They will all be happy to see us come home with lots of food! "

Yuri excitedly nodded her head too. "Uncle Goshi is right! Let us go home!"

Azami could only shake his head at the sight of Goshi and Yuri who had now walked ahead of entering the train station leaving him.

***

Arriving Azami, Goshi and Yuri in front of the house gate that was not closed, the three of their eyes rounded in surprise at the chaos that occurred in the house yard.

Three cars full of cracks in the glass and berets on the body of the car were parked in the yard of the house.

Goshi and Azami are now staring at each other.

"What happened while we were gone?!"
