Never Not
Ch. 33: Black Shadow Without Mr. White's?

Not feeling the cold night getting late, Shohei has been transferred to the inpatient room. People from his closest friends on the force are no longer coming. The security guard was not on guard like that either. The Metropolitan Police chief has held a press conference explaining the chronology of the stabbing of the chief investigator.

Until now, Shohei is still unconscious, despite having passed through a critical period.

"If someone doesn't call an ambulance quickly, it's very unlikely that the patient will survive or that he may have massive bleeding" doctors told Seina and Shohei's mother, who were in the room.

Yes, when the rescue team came, Shohei's condition was unconscious with severe bleeding. The perpetrator did not forget to remove the object used to stab Shohei in the stomach so as not to leave any evidence. Even if the sharp object is still stuck in his stomach it will actually function as a plug so that blood does not come out too much. Fortunately, he was not left there for long because the rescue team came to provide first aid and he was immediately rushed to the nearest Hospital.

"Who would be kind enough to call an ambulance for him? I want to thank him directly," Shohei's mother said.

Seina immediately agreed with Shohei's mother. "I don't know Shohei's closest friends yet, but I also want to thank that person."

Seina looked at her bruised lover's face in some parts. Their relationship has not been even a month, and their feelings have not been too deep in this man. It may not be said to be true love. There is only the feeling of having. However, he was sure that over time he would love her. Because, Shohei has many reasons to be loved and made a companion for life.

Seina then approached her future mother-in-law who was sitting limp on the sofa while saying, "Auntie, go home! Let me take care of Shohei. I'll spend the night here!"

"What did you say? You're the one who should go home! You must be tired because you've been waiting for him to wake up" said Shohei's mother, slipping Seina's hair behind her ear. He treated the girl like his own son.

Seina shook her head. "I'll stay here until he wakes up. Let me take care of him. Aunts and uncles just rest at home" he asked with his eyes off. His gaze again led to the patient bed where Shohei was lying at the moment.

Mother Shohei stood up while carrying her bag. "All right! Please let me know immediately if Shohei has regained consciousness."

Seina takes the initiative of taking Shohei's mother to the outside of the building where Mr. Yamazaki's private driver has been waiting. Just as they were leaving the room, a tall, well-built man with a long black coat attached to his body, walked slowly towards Shohei's hospital room. His movements looked suspicious. Half the face of the man was covered by a scarf that was also wrapped around his neck. He opened the door slowly, then slipped in and slowly approached Shohei.

"Shohei, it's me. I can't stay in my room waiting for the latest news from you. I want to make sure you are now" said the man, lowering the scarf that covered his mouth.

It turned out that the figure who came to Shohei at this time was Rai. A press conference held by the police two hours ago provoked him to find a way to see Shohei's situation firsthand. Just like Seto Tanaka, he did not believe that Shohei was just a case of robbery as confirmed by the Police. Because, before the phone ended, the man had said he would take care of the case video of the woman who asked Black Shadow for help.

Rai stared at the gamang to Shohei's face attached to oxygen. For a moment, he remembered the togetherness they had lived for several months. Still attached to his memory, during their first meeting in a dark and cold holding room.

While he was in prison, Shohei came as a savior and offered to cooperate. The unconscious man not only controls himself as Black Shadow, but also directs his life for the better. No longer deceive, trap, and exploit others.

Actually, Rai is an alumnus of the university of Tokyo, but with his criminal record, it certainly makes it difficult for him to get a decent job. Even though the court proved his innocence, it remains that big companies only accept people who have a good track record and are completely clean. This is what makes him submit himself to be controlled by Shohei after getting out of prison.

"You told me once that you often got huddles while you were in school because of your geeky, shy style. The system at your school also treats students according to their parent's position. That's what made you accept your father's request to go to the police. Wishing to protect the weak and to fight the slightest evil" Rai said in a weak voice, "You also tell me, wanting to be a cop who dares to solve crimes without fear of being intimidated by anyone, you also always want to be a gentle and romantic man in front of the woman you love without feeling nervous and trembling."

Rai rubbed his face rough and said again, "For that, you created a Black Shadow figure in your alter ego. Unfortunately, Black Shadow still cannot live in your soul. Then, you chose me as the character of your creation. You managed to control myself according to your ideals and expectations all along. To solve evil, and to defend the weak. Even your creation is admired by various circles from the young to the elderly, no matter the women or men they always wait for the action of Black Shadow. Therefore, quickly realize and realize all your desires. We still have our next missions, right?"

Rai showed a frustrated face. In addition to worrying about Shohei, the pressure of the netizens who kept asking Black Shadow to intervene immediately made him burdened. Battering for a moment, he recalled Shohei's words the last time he called.

"Black Shadow really lives within you, and you're not the actor you've been saying so much."

Instantly, Rai immediately stared stiffly at Shohei. "Can Black Shadow act without Mr. White?" tanyanya slow. He shook his head. "If I really were Black Shadow without Mr. White, what do I do about the case? Nah! Nah! I can't think as Black Shadow, right now all I need to think about is if I'm Mr. White, what do I have to do to uncover the case?"

Rai massaged his temple while thinking hard. He even sat down. I want to pull my own hair. He has no skills as a detective. He also had no idea about the viral video. He was totally blind to it. Moreover, to conclude whether the hostest girl was really guilty as alleged by the police.

On the other hand, Seina walked slowly to Shohei's inpatient room after her future mother-in-law decided to go home with the driver. When she opened the door of Shohei's room, Seina's eyes were perfectly rounded as her gaze turned towards the wide open window of the room.

Mr. Matsumoto has just arrived at his house. Finding her residence deserted, she asked Seina to the butler.

"Is Seina not home yet?"

"Not yet, Sir."

Coinciding with that, a phone call from Seina suddenly entered on her phone. The girl told him she would not go home because she wanted to keep Shohei in the hospital.

Mr. Matsumoto's face looked dark. He was drowning in his daydream. A few hours ago, he met one of the state officials.

"I know it must be you! What did you do to Mr. Yamazaki's son? Don't you know she's my son-in-law's candidate?" shriek Mr. Matsumoto in a thunderous voice.

"Oh, so Yamazaki Shohei is going to marry your daughter?" the man asked with a tickling laugh, "I'm just trying to keep him from getting involved with the case. You know for yourself that Metro police detective is very persistent in uncovering cases. Just taking care of Black Shadow has overwhelmed me. Anyway, what I did to help you all. Remember, if I get caught then I'll 'singing' to all the politicians who have striped. Aren't you one of them, too?"

Mr. Matsumoto closed his memory and went straight to his room.

I don't feel like a dark day has passed. Until now, Shohei had not been conscious. However, doctors said if his condition began to progress. Seina came out of Shohei's nursery, after a night of looking after her. The girl planned to go home. While outside the Hospital building, Kei called her.

"How's Yamazaki-san doing?"

"It's still not human, either" said Seina limp. For a moment his eyes that had dimmed, immediately opened wide. "Has Black Shadow done the act?" tanyanya. For a whole day he did not see the news or access social media, so he did not know whether the broadcast of Black Shadow had aired or not.

"Until this afternoon. If he doesn't show up tomorrow to answer the woman's request in the viral video, it will ruin his own reputation. You see, some people think Black Shadow is just a manoeuvre of government political opponents. He was deliberately created to demonize the current government. It's possible that the video case has nothing to do with the government, so he's not interested in revealing it. So said some people," said Kei who concluded the opinions of the netizens written on the page of his forum.

"That's impossible!" seina's look was quick, "where might she be a tool of a political opponent to demonize the current government. It was very unreasonable," said Seina who appeared to believe in Black Shadow.

"I also think like that. That's why I said he had to launch the action immediately so that people don't think anything about him."

Seina hung up the phone call. For some reason, Black Shadow had once again filled his memories. He really hopes the mysterious man replaces Shohei in investigating the viral case.

At night showing her form on the surface of the earth, Seina came to the Skytree tower precisely on the floor of the building which was at an altitude of 450 meters. It was here that he met and returned to kissing Black Shadow for the second time. In this tower, Black Shadow says Seina can meet him every time she finishes uncovering a case.

Seina wished that she could meet Black Shadow at that place. He stared straight at the glass window that displayed a night view of Tokyo. Without him knowing, a person with a mask attached to his face was standing at the top of the Tokyo Skytree tower.

At the same time, suddenly the pedestrian view centers on every videotron that is on the main street of Tokyo. Television broadcasts and also live streaming applications began to be scrambled. Shortly thereafter, a piece of writing appeared on each screen.

"Black Shadow Come back."
