At this moment, Kamishiro had already reached the restroom entrance.
Looking at his fully armed reflection in the mirror, he fell silent for a moment.
Yeah… this look was a bit too eye-catching.
On the streets of Tokyo it wouldn't matter—there were all kinds of outfits there.
But backstage…
It really was too conspicuous!
To avoid being mistaken for a crazed fan, Kamishiro directly removed his disguise!
"…Still kind of eye-catching, huh~"
Looking at the breathtakingly handsome face in the mirror, Kamishiro shook his head helplessly.
"Being too handsome is a kind of trouble sometimes~ And not only am I handsome, my luck's pretty good too~"
As he spoke, he took a gold ticket out of his pocket.
Looking at that bright color, the more he stared at it, the more he liked it.
Who wouldn't like such a gaudy color~ (??ω??)
They just don't get the chance~
After admiring himself for a while, Kamishiro hesitated over whether to put the mask back on.
If what happened at the station earlier happened again…
He really wouldn't be able to escape. The venue would turn straight into a prison!
Just imagining the scene after being caught made him shiver.
Better put the mask back on—safer that way. With the gold ticket, his identity was proven anyway.
However, just as he was about to act—
A beautiful figure suddenly emerged from the women's restroom next door.
Their eyes met.
Both saw a trace of surprise in each other's gaze.
One was surprised by the coincidence.
The other, after the surprise, had a flash of amazement in her eyes.
Such a handsome guy, why had she never seen him on set before?
Did she lose her memory?
"You…" ×2
Both froze, unsure how to start.
At this moment, Momo suddenly felt a bit flustered, not because Kamishiro was too handsome. Although the boy in front of her really made her heart flutter, she hadn't forgotten why she was here today!
The meet-and-greet!
Why was there someone she didn't recognize before it even started?
Had it already begun?!
She'd only gone to the restroom!!!
Forgetting about the handsome guy for the moment, Momo quickly took out her phone to check.
This… Director Hase hadn't sent her any messages either?
Had he forgotten too?
For a moment, she was completely confused.
"Pfft~"
Beside her, Kamishiro finally couldn't hold back and laughed when he saw Momo's dazed expression.
Instantly, Momo's gaze was drawn back to him.
Even knowing he was laughing at her, looking at that handsome face, she couldn't feel angry at all.
A blush even crept onto her face as she shot him a charming glance.
Only then did Momo carefully take in Kamishiro's appearance.
How should she put it…
She needed to apologize to herself for being shallow earlier!
She'd only noticed his face before, she hadn't expected his figure to be just as flawless, without a single fault!
Used to seeing overweight, inactive coworkers, suddenly encountering a boy brimming with youthful energy, Momo's heart couldn't help but wander.
If she could work with someone like this, straight out of a manga…
Slurp~
Kamishiro: (°ー°〃)
She just drooled, didn't she? She definitely drooled!!!
Looking at Momo's blazing, completely undisguised gaze, Kamishiro felt like a little white rabbit walking straight into a trap.
And for some reason, he actually felt a trace of pressure!
You have to understand—this was something he had never felt in all his years of navigating the romantic battlefield!
Damn it!
Is this the gap between a professional player and a top-tier amateur?!
Unconsciously, a fighting spirit also ignited in Kamishiro's eyes. So what if she was a pro? He was a "king of the streets" type himself!
He immediately raised the ticket in his hand and, with a slightly provocative smile, said,
"Nice to meet you, Miss Momo~"
Seeing the ticket in Kamishiro's hand, Momo froze for a moment, then finally understood what was going on.
So this was the handsome guy Ikegoshi mentioned, he is way more handsome than described!
Momo licked her lips, the lust in her eyes growing even stronger.
"So am I, Kamishiro san~"
Their eyes met, and both instantly understood what the other was thinking.
The two figures slowly moved closer~
Just as they were about to press together, an accident happened!
Tap tap tap~
With the sound of footsteps, a voice familiar to both of them rang out.
"Momo, you—"
Hase: {{(°△°; "}}!
Wait!
What is going on right now?!
Director Hase, who had come to confirm Kamishiro's identity and tell Momo to get ready, froze halfway.
Looking at the two people standing by the restroom entrance, Hase swallowed nervously.
What was up with these two? Their presence was way too intense!
Hase felt like he'd accidentally barged into a standoff between top-tier experts!
A standoff so intense it could even scare an AV director!
Come on!
You don't have to be this direct right after meeting, do you?!
Did you two skip the whole "getting to know each other" phase or what?!
We're making a movie—a movie! At least give me some plot, will you?!
(O?O)
…
"Phew~ So, uncle, how long before this meet-and-greet actually starts?"
Outside the venue, Hijikata had already lost count of how many cigarettes he'd smoked.
Damn it, he came too early!
"Heh heh, young man, you need a little patience~ sip"
The security guard uncle leisurely took a sip of tea, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes as he looked at the restless young police officer.
Yep—still too young~
After such a long "exchange" of nicotine, the guard uncle was no longer afraid of this officer at all.
Just a prickly young cop full of justice, that's all.
Honestly, Tokyo was really open-minded about letting someone like this become a police officer.
What a bold experiment~
But thanks to this cop, the guard uncle's job had become a lot easier.
At least he didn't need to worry about suspicious criminals sneaking close anymore…
They probably weren't dumb enough to walk into a trap.
"Sip~ Almost time, almost time. Officer, want some tea?"
"No thanks. How about you go hurry them up?"
The guard uncle's mouth twitched. Was this guy's brain short-circuited? If he had that kind of authority, would he still be working here as a security guard?
"…Officer, I'm just a small-time guard. They're the bosses."
"Tch!"
"..."
This cop was way too trashy!
He just smacked his lips, didn't he—he definitely smacked his lips!!!
A parasite of society!
The guard uncle suddenly felt that their "nicotine brotherhood" wasn't so solid after all. At the very least, he didn't want to see this bastard cop right now!
"Officer, you seem pretty anxious. Why don't you… leave first?"
With the big guys around, even a small disturbance could be handled.
"Hah? Uncle, don't joke around. If I leave now, wouldn't all my effort be wasted?
I'm counting on this merit to become vice commander—phew~"
As he spoke, Hijikata lit another cigarette, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.
No one was going to block his path to vice commander!
Sure, it looked peaceful now—but that was only because he hadn't made his move yet!
Once this AV actress meet-and-greet started, he'd just post a message on that forum…
Boom—massive achievement right there!
This was going to be a big riot!
If he handled it all by himself, Hijikata could already picture himself standing on the award stage.
Guard uncle: ?(??? ?-? )~?
Hearing Hijikata's true intentions, the uncle's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He'd thought this cop was actually righteous, standing guard alone for so long to prevent possible chaos.
Turns out all that "justice" was just his own imagination!
This guy was only after achievements!
Bastard!
You're way too realistic, aren't you?!
Looking at that smug face, the guard uncle felt a strong urge to call in a report.
At the same time, he couldn't help wondering how this guy had managed to dodge complaint after complaint.
There was no way he was the only one who wanted to report this jerk!
As if sensing the guard uncle's gaze, Hijikata walked over and lightly patted his shoulder, speaking with a hint of threat.
"Uncle, you won't ruin my plans, right?"
"Heh heh…"
The guard uncle's expression stiffened. He actually wanted to resist—but then he remembered he was just a security guard.
As long as he clocked in and out normally, that was enough!
After figuring that out, the uncle's gaze drifted away as he slowly went back to drinking tea.
"Ahh, I am getting old and my eyesight's not good anymore."
Seeing this, Hijikata nodded in satisfaction.
Good!
Now all that was left was to wait for the meet-and-greet to begin!
"By the way, officer, what if nothing happens?"
The uncle asked weakly from the side. He felt like this cop's smile just now looked way too villainous.
Seriously, why was this guy so sure a riot would happen?
Even if that kid with the gold ticket earlier was a bit unusual, it didn't justify this level of certainty.
What if he was actually totally normal?
Or… was something going on that he didn't know about?
Hearing this, Hijikata pulled out his phone and logged straight into a certain high school's forum.
Watching those brats constantly refreshing their posts, an even more villainous smile appeared on Hijikata's face.
"Don't worry there'll definitely be trouble~"
And it would be trouble he caused!
Keh keh keh~
The more, the better. The more chaotic, the better!
Guard uncle: {{(°△°; "}}!
Oh no has this cop gone crazy?
So can I still work here?
The guard uncle suddenly felt like he might get a second spring in his career!
…
As if the heavens had heard Hijikata's wish, just as he was editing the post he was about to send—
Two extremely suspicious individuals suddenly appeared in front of him!
Looking at the two perverts wearing women's clothing and also holding extra clothes over their faces as masks, Hijikata fell silent.
Something was wrong—very wrong!
Since when did Tokyo have perverts of this level?
As the police department's long-standing number-one catcher of perverts, Hijikata had thought he'd seen every kind there was.
But…
He'd been too arrogant.
He'd truly never seen perverts this abstract before!
Instinctively, Hijikata reached for his baton to arrest them—
But the moment his hand touched it, he stopped.
Not because he lacked the resolve.
But because…
What crime could he even charge them with?
Tokyo didn't have a law banning cross-dressing, or using two pieces of men's clothing as a face mask, did it?
He knew Tokyo fashion was avant-garde but this was too avant-garde!
What…?
How could he tell the two of them were cross-dressing?
Not only did he know they were in women's clothes he could even tell they had just finished some intense physical activity.
It was way too obvious!
Those calf muscles still hadn't gone down yet, okay?!
Next time you cross-dress, be a bit more rigorous about it!
At this moment—
After seeing Hijikata's movement, Kohei and Iori instinctively took two steps back!
That's right!
The two people Hijikata had mistaken for perverts were none other than Iori and Kohei, who had just come out of the alley!
Compared to before, they were now hiding themselves much more thoroughly.
After knocking out those two beasts from a certain high school, Iori decisively deleted the photos from the glasses guy's phone!
He didn't care how many all-nighters the guy had pulled to make them.
All Iori knew was that if that stuff was left behind, their situation would become extremely uncomfortable.
After finishing all that, the two of them ultimately didn't dump the guys into Tokyo Bay.
Burlap sacks and all that were just too inconvenient.
They simply stripped them naked and left them propped against the wall in the alley.
Being clever, they even set up a small little trap~
To prevent the two from waking up early and snitching on the forum, they suspended two bricks above their heads using this small mechanism!
As long as they woke up and moved even a little bit—
Well, having your head smashed by the bricks of justice after doing too many bad things is perfectly normal, right~?
(??ω??)
As for whether those two would be picked up by other perverts… that wasn't something they needed to worry about.
If that really happened, it could only be blamed on Tokyo's public security.
After all, back in Izu!
Even if you stripped naked and fell asleep by the roadside, you'd still be lying there perfectly fine the next morning!
At most, you'd just be surrounded by camera flashes!
Nothing would happen at all!
Of course—
Even though the photos were deleted, the two of them didn't dare walk around the streets so openly anymore.
Who knew if there'd be some other bored weirdo who would Photoshop their pictures?
So…
They set their sights on the clothes they had taken off earlier!
No normal person would ever think to Photoshop clothes onto someone's face, right~?
And then—
That's how we got the current scene…
"Wait!"
"We have tickets!"
To prevent this tsundere cop from suddenly doing something excessive,
The two of them hurriedly pulled out their tickets!
"Pfft!"
The moment he saw the tickets, the security guard uncle who was sipping tea and watching the show immediately sprayed it out!
"Holy crap?!"
The corner of the security guard's mouth twitched.
Good grief, this was just a plain old AV actress meet-and-greet.
What right did it have to gather so many freaks and monsters?!
"Oh?"
Hijikata took the tickets with a strange expression. After confirming they were real, his face filled with mockery.
Good—this was even better!
The more perverts showed up, the bigger his achievement would be!
These weren't perverts at all, they were basically medals pinned to his chest!
"No problem. But I'd suggest you take the clothes off your faces. Don't you find that smell suffocating?"
After returning the tickets, Hijikata quietly took two steps back. The smell was a bit overwhelming.
Iori, Kohei: "..."
They wanted to take them off too!
But after thinking about their current situation, it was clearly safer to keep them on.
"No thanks, officer. We can still endure it!"
Security guard uncle: (°ー°〃)
So ruthless…
With just that level of willpower, the danger rating of these two shot straight up in the security guard's mind!
They'd already completely surpassed the four idiots inside who loved fantasizing.
Even Hijikata couldn't help but feel a sense of respect, silently stepping aside.
"Go on in. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be starting soon."
Whether it started or not didn't matter—
His own carnival was about to begin anyway!
He'd already decided that once these two perverts went in, he'd carry out his plan!
"Oh, okay!"
Iori and Kohei exchanged a glance, then quickly ran toward the line. Iori was already itching to see his goddess.
