That was nice. "You think," Ryusei said slowly, "that Meteor's doing it for... his father?"
Well, that was one way of finding out that Utahoshi didn't suspect Ryusei. "What makes you think he knew your father?"
Tachibana was.... Ryusei didn't know anything about Tachibana. He didn't know anything about Utahoshi the senior, either, so it was a possibility, but coming to a conclusion based on the lack of information was such a negligent idea that Ryusei put it out of his mind almost immediately.
There was a more reasonable explanation, in any case. Utahoshi didn't know anything about Meteor. If Fourze and Meteor were as similar as Utahoshi claimed, then it was only natural to connect them, and the both of them to Utahoshi the senior.
Unfortunately, it put Meteor under an amount of scrutiny that Ryusei didn't like. Not that Ryusei doubted his own ability to keep his secret. But he couldn't refute Utahoshi's suspicions or risk moving the scrutiny on himself, for knowing so much. Even though he wanted to, Ryusei didn't add a comment to his questions about Meteor's possible motivations.
