Tokyo Grand Hotel, top floor.
Hachisuka Xiudao suppressed his anger, maintaining a smile while ordering.
He also asked Kurashiki Reina, who was sitting opposite him, what she wanted to eat.
Kurashiki Reina casually said "whatever" and continued to fiddle with her phone.
Hachisuka Xiudao smiled and didn't say anything.
His anger wasn't directed at Kurashiki Reina, but at the two JK girls sitting next to her, who were Kurashiki Reina's best friends (followers).
Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn't tag along when a couple is on a date... But they not only always appeared on his and Kurashiki Reina's date schedule, they were also quite noisy.
For example, right now,
"Wow, what a beautiful view! From here, you can overlook Tokyo, wwwww! And... tonight's moon is truly beautiful (low voice). Wow~! I'm so romantic (???)"
"Heh, the wind is also gentle (low voice)."
"Foul, foul, foul, foul, foul! You're talking nonsense, you can't feel the wind from over there here at all, and the floor is so high, if we could feel the wind, we'd probably be blown into idiots wwwww. Let's not worry about that for now, let's just take a selfie to commemorate dining at such a high-class restaurant www."
"V... Reina, you come take a picture too."
Kurashiki Reina looked up, her face cold, and turned her head, reluctantly making a peace sign.
"Wow, Reina, you're so expressionless, just like Kobayashi-kun wwwww..."
At this point, the follower seemed to realize her slip of the tongue and didn't continue the conversation, instead muttering to herself as she fiddled with her phone: "Post on Twitter, post on Twitter..."
"Speaking of which, what kind of person is this Kobayashi-kun?" Hachisuka Xiudao asked, snapping his fingers to call a waiter and handing him the menu, "He doesn't seem to get along very well with Reina-chan. Should I get some people to help you teach him a lesson?"
"He's just a simple good student. He's the top student in the second year at Shiraki, www. Hachisuka-kun, don't be so suspicious. Kobayashi-kun really doesn't get along with Reina, but that's because he hasn't had any contact with Reina since the confession incident. When he saw Reina with you today, he probably felt deeply inferior to you, which is why you feel he's hostile." The follower quickly said.
She knew what kind of person this Hachisuka Xiudao was...
It wouldn't be good if he went looking for trouble with Kobayashi-kun.
She didn't want Kobayashi-kun's perfect face to be disfigured. "Right, Reina?" She even tried to ask Kurashiki Reina for help.
"I don't object." Kurashiki Reina took the lemon-like drink the waiter brought, took a sip, and continued, "In fact, I've wanted to teach that guy a lesson for a long time... but not now."
"Why?" Hachisuka Xiudao asked.
"The fact that I'm dating you has already had some influence at Shiraki. If your people go causing trouble for Shiraki students again, my reputation will probably get even worse." Kurashiki Reina said indifferently, "I don't care what others think of me, but when there are too many strange looks, it just gets annoying."
Hachisuka Xiudao didn't say anything more.
Kurashiki Reina also continued to look at her phone.
Silence fell.
Damn it.
But Kurashiki Reina's manicured finger seemed to hit the phone screen, making a crisp "click" sound, as if to say, that bastard deserved to suffer a little.
But she still chose to cover for him in the end.
Kurashiki Reina knew that if she had said "no" on the spot, Hachisuka Hidemichi's personality would have led him to act against Hayato no matter what, so she chose a roundabout approach.
However, he was the one who offended her, yet she still had to protect him… This made Kurashiki Reina a bit annoyed. No… very annoyed.
Hmph, hmph. Kurashiki Reina secretly let out a few heavy breaths as if venting… Forget it, she'd just treat it as not wanting Hachisuka Hidemichi to cause trouble at school.
It had nothing to do with Mr. Hayashi.
After dinner, it was almost nine o'clock.
After leaving the Tokyo Grand Hotel.
The four of them strolled aimlessly through Shibuya for a while.
Hachisuka Hidemichi suggested, "It's getting late, Reina, let me walk you home?"
Kurashiki Reina was about to say something.
One of the accompanying girls suddenly seemed to remember something.
"…Oh no, Reina, I forgot to buy a bra. Can you come with me to buy one?" one of the followers said, then clasped her hands together and made a praying gesture to Hachiya-kun, "Sorry, Hachiya-kun, please lend Reina to me for a bit. I'm afraid you'll have to go back alone. Hehe, I don't think it would be appropriate for you to come to a lingerie store with us three girls, would it? wwww"
Kurashiki Reina gave her follower a reproving look, seemingly helpless.
"I can't do anything with you. Sorry, Hayashi Hidemichi," she said.
"… …It's fine."
Hachisuka Hidemichi watched Kurashiki Reina and her two friends walk away, then clicked his tongue slightly before taking out his phone and sending a text message to one of his subordinates.
He then pulled out a pack of Seven Stars cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and put it in his mouth.
He glanced again in the direction Kurashiki Reina had gone, muttering with the cigarette clutched in his teeth, "Bitch, one day I'll make you call me 'daddy' under my crotch… and make your slutty mother serve me too."
Kurashiki Reina seemed to feel the chilling gaze from behind her, and she turned her head to look.
Hachisuka Hidemichi was still smiling and waving at her, seemingly saying something like "Be careful."
"Wow, Reina, are you sneaking off again?" the follower said, "You've been dating Hachiya-kun for a while, haven't you? Has your relationship not progressed further?"
She actually didn't need to buy underwear; she had just understood Kurashiki Reina's subtle hint, so she acted as a wingman to take her away.
Kurashiki Reina shook her head.
"Hachiya-kun's goal in offering to walk you home was to get you into bed, wasn't it?" another follower said.
"Who knows," Kurashiki Reina said, running her hand through her light blonde hair.
Though she said that, Kurashiki Reina knew that Hachisuka Hidemichi was 90%, if not 100%, planning that. But… she didn't want to.
It wasn't that she disliked Hachisuka Hidemichi; if she had "disliked" him, she wouldn't have chosen to date him in the first place.
It was just that, as if her sixth sense had picked up on it, she felt "danger."
There was an inexplicable sense of danger.
"Is it still not too late to break up now?" a follower asked.
Kurashiki Reina didn't answer, merely replied indifferently, "I'll have to trouble you two again next time."
"Well, we get a free meal anyway, so it doesn't matter wwww," one of the followers said, "And we successfully posted a bragging Twitter post, so it was worth it."
"But Hachiya-kun is quite dangerous," another calmer follower said. "The Bee Arrow family seems to be involved in some strange business, right?"
"Who knows," Kurashiki Reina still gave the same answer.
"That's why I said, Hayato-kun is definitely better wwww, he's handsome and good at studies," the follower said, "…and he's safe."
