Akimasa looked at the people in the kitchen room. This was the opportunity to look for his old friend. But he couldn't find him. Akimasa suspected that his old friend was hiding in one room in the building. Or maybe he had managed to escape just before the men stormed the building. As far as Akimasa remembers, his friend was cowardly and unfaithful. Once upon a time, ten years ago, when they encountered a predicament, he was the first to run away.
This huge kitchen was full of people. It's not overcrowded, but the restaurant's kitchen on the ground floor has never been as busy as it was today. This was because the thugs put many people into this kitchen. The Shinkankyo workers who weren't working in the kitchen were also there.
They all looked worried and scared. Some people even look angry and disappointed. Akimasa guessed that the people who looked angry were the substitute workers from the labor bureau. Akimasa could understand their feelings. It's the situation that people called as being in the wrong place and the wrong time. Akimasa hoped this would end soon. Whatever the purpose of the raiders, it didn't seem to be directly related to the Shinkankyo Restaurant. Therefore, it was highly likely that nothing terrible will happen to these workers, both the original Shinkankyo workers and the substitute workers from the labor bureau.
Now they were already inside for about an hour. Akimasa, starting to get restless. He felt the law enforcers by now must have known what had happened in the building. In fact, likely, communication between the invaders and the police had already been established. If the invaders had expressed their demands by now, law enforcement would have pretended to consider the demands while devising a ploy to enter the building, freed the hostages, and incapacitated the gunmen.
