"What do you mean, Atobe?" Inui asked.
"Fujioka Ryouko. The only girl among the offsprings of the Fujioka clan in four generations." Atobe said.
"Fujioka clan?" Yuuta repeated.
"The Fujioka clan is one of our Atobe Industries VVIP guests, holding about 30% of the shares in our company. It's a very successful clan who, unlike us, loved to conduct their company matters in hiding. You know Zenbonzakura Corporation?" Atobe asked.
"Of course. It's the biggest corporation holding most of Japan's industries. They're involved in the sales industries, transport, real estate, and they even have factories making all sorts of food and beverages. Not to mention expensive clothing lines." Oshitari answered.
Gakuto looked at him questioningly.
"I happen to buy my clothes from them. And they got quality tennis supplies specialty stores." Oshitari answered Gakuto's questioning stare.
"And what about Zenbonzakura Corp. and the Fujioka clan? How on earth are they related?" Hiroshi asked, confused.
"Do you or do you not use your head?" Mizuki told him.
"What was that? You insulting me, St. Rudolph?" Hiroshi exclaimed in annoyance.
"The owners of the Zenbonzakura Corp. are members of one massive clan. The celebrities that love to hide, the Fujioka clan with personal ties even with heads of the media, police and the Japanese army. They're famous among those that also has power and money in Japan, and that includes my family. No one in the upper class doesn't know of the name 'Fujioka'. There's this strange phenomenon regarding their clan about how they never produced a female offspring in four long generations. In our world, that's an advantage. It means that the Fujioka name will carry on and their clan will expand. Ifever the males of the Fujioka get married with a lady of another financially strong family, then the Fujioka male has the opportunity to be the head of that family as well as the properties the family has, thus further making the Fujioka clan more abominable. But rumor has it that twelve years ago, a baby girl was born in the Fujioka household. The only girl in four generations. I only saw her once in the celebration of her ninth birthday in England three years ago. And I'm looking at that girl right now..." Atobe explained nonstop.
"So you're saying that our Ryouko is..." Inui said.
"A member of the most powerful and richest family in Japan?" Oishi finished for him.
Mizuki sighed. "And it's out... I thought that nobody will be able to know..." He said in disappointment.
"What's that supposed to mean, Mizuki-san?" Yuuta asked.
"I thought I told you. We must obtain Fujioka Ryouko. Then we'll be like Hyoutei Academy, having a rich member that will buy us equipment like Atobe does to his team." Mizuki said.
"You know that Fujioka Ryouko is a member of that rich family?" Yuuta asked.
"Of course I know... The Fujioka clan are fast in deleting pictures of the members of their family because they don't like the spotlight so much. They hate unnecessary attention because they want to keep their lives private. But at times, there're some pictures that stays. I happen to see one on the internet before the article got deleted. The only female member of the mysterious owner of Zenbonzakura Corporation, the heading said. It had a picture of the girl and I just happened to recognize her." Mizuki said.
"Hmmm... That's interesting..." Ryouko interrupted.
Mizuki jumped up in surprise. "How long have you been there?" He said in shock.
