Chapter 33
Even without Mizuki life went on. It was different, more silent and there were less fights, but it went on anyway. Tezuka was already arranging a meeting with a yakuza that contacted him to tell him he had another nice man waiting. He was also contacting the police, finally arranging that they would be there when he would go and get the man for the club. They agreed to help and catch those men who traded humans.
Life at the club went on as always. Some of the guests missed Mizuki, but most weren't that shocked. Fuji enjoyed himself with the regular guests. He spent most of the time at the club with them, enjoying their stories about life outside the club.
That night Fuji was talking to Inui and Yanagi once again. They always had interesting stories about things they invented or found out. Sometimes Fuji wished he could go with them and help them. Doing research and coming up with brilliant things must be a lot of fun. But at the same time he knew that wasn't meant for him. So he just listened to the stories and drank the new drinks.
'I think it's time for another bet,' said Inui suddenly.
'What kind of bet?' asked Fuji.
'One about you of course,' answered Yanagi. 'You said you were unpredictable and I want to find out if you really are. Maybe if we get to know you better, we will find out you're more predictable than you think.'
'Alright,' said Fuji. 'What do you want to make a bet about this time?'
'Your love life,' said Inui. 'We had never guessed that you would be cheated on. That was very unpredictable. I thought that there was only a 5 per cent chance, but it seemed I was wrong. That is why we want to make another bet. So, what do you think, Renji, is he in love with someone else already?'
'I think he is,' answered Yanagi. 'But I think he doesn't realize it yet. It will be hard to find out if that is true, but that is what I think.'
'I think you are right,' answered Inui. 'He is in love with someone else already. He is happy, because he had revenge on his ex-boyfriend, but he is also happy, because there is another person in his life he really likes.'
Fuji raised an eyebrow. 'I don't know what the two of you are talking about,' he said. 'I know you heard from my revenge from one of the others, but what makes you think I like someone else? I like all the guys here. Not just my colleagues, but the guests as well. But it's just liking as in being friends. Nothing more than that. Why does everybody think I am in love with somebody?'
'Who else thought that?' asked Yanagi. 'No, let me guess, it was one of your colleagues, that is for sure. Eighty five per cent chance it was Nioh.'
'Ninety five per cent chance it was Nioh,' answered Inui. 'He is smarter than he looks. But how did he find out and who does he have in mind?'
'He found out because he is in love with Fuji-kun,' answered Yanagi.
'Yes, one hundred per cent change,' said Inui.
'A seventy three per cent change he thinks that Fuji-kun is in love with Tezuka-san,' said both scientists at the same time.
Fuji's mouth fell open. 'What?' he asked. 'You really think that?'
'No, that is what Nioh thinks,' said Inui. 'I think there is a ninety per cent change you like Tezuka-san.'
'I think there is a ninety six per cent change you like Tezuka-san,' answered Yanagi.
'Stop,' said Fuji. 'Just what makes you think I like Tezuka? Yes, he is a nice guy and he is a friend of me as well, but why do you think I like him more than any of the others?'
'You smile eleven per cent more to Tezuka than you do to any of the others, ' answered Inui.
'That is because he is always frowning,' answered Fuji. 'I try to compensate. That is all.'
'Here at the club you talk twenty five per cent more often to Tezuka than to any of your other colleagues,' stated Yanagi.
'Well, think whatever you want, it's not true.'
'We'll find out,' said Yanagi. 'I can still win. You like somebody, but you don't realize it yet. Maybe you will sometime soon and then you will oweme a drink for once.'
