What a Nice Smell (いいにおい Ī Nioi?) is the eighty-fourth chapter of the Sakamoto Days manga series.
Summary[]
Shin, Akira, and Seba approach Sakamoto in disguise as an intern teacher searching for the database. They mention Amane, a JCC student who is a follower of Slur and will do anything to join his organization. Amane’s mission is to destroy the database related to Slur so he can join Slur’s group. Meanwhile, Sakamoto tricks a teacher into giving him the master key to the classroom. To find the database, Sakamoto decides to start at the south side of the JCC campus, but he is also concerned that his disguise is wearing off and he needs to hurry.
A nun-chuck flies directly at Sakamoto, snatching the master key from him. It turns out that Amane is the one who has stolen the keys. Amane thanks Sakamoto for the keys, while Sakamoto recalls seeing Amane before and remembers that Amane is Yotsumura’s son—the former JAA order member who fought against Nagumo, Shishiba, and Osaragi in earlier chapters. Amane asks how Sakamoto knows him, and Sakamoto replies that they used to work together, and Yotsumura had mentioned he had a son.
However, Amane reveals that Yotsumura is not a father to him but a murderer who destroyed his family. After a tense chase, Sakamoto finally catches Amane and takes the key from him. Sakamoto asks why Amane harbors such hatred toward the JAA and his father. Amane explains that Yotsumura killed his mother, which is why he wants to take down both the JAA and his father.
