The shame of being kicked over by a woman made him extremely furious.
"Wah!"
He roared loudly and charged towards Kobayashi Ayaka.
Kobayashi Ayaka was still staring at Nanao Akane's ice beauty face, seemingly oblivious to the movement behind her.
Just as Nanao Akane was about to push Kobayashi Ayaka away.
A hand reached out from the side and landed on the drunkard's shoulder.
The drunkard was slightly stunned, still wanting to turn his head to see who was so inconsiderate.
"That hurts a bit," the person said.
One punch.
To be precise, it was a right-hand punch, hitting the drunkard's cheek.
The drunkard's robust body was now like a rag, and he was sent flying once again.
The good news was that he didn't hit a chair this time.
The bad news was that he directly hit a table.
His abdomen directly impacted the edge of the bar table; he didn't break the table, but the intense impact already made him roll his eyes.
Hayato had actually been watching this side the whole time. After noticing Nanao Akane being accosted by the drunkard, he immediately raised the electric guitar in his hand. Although he couldn't use it as freely as the "Hundred Steps Flying Sword," relying on his right hand, which was infinitely stronger than an ordinary person's, he could still easily hit from the stage to here.
But then, Kobayashi Ayaka appeared.
And her kick broke many things, the clattering attracting the attention of the audience, preventing them from noticing Hayato, so he leaped down and jogged over.
"Are you alright?" Hayato asked Nanao Akane after achieving the 'knock-out' achievement.
"…I'm fine." Nanao Akane shook her head and said with a slight smile, "I was just a little startled."
"Good then," Hayato said, just about to ask Kobayashi Ayaka.
The latter suddenly sneered.
"Heh."
You're not going to ask if I'm okay!?
"Ayaka-senpai, you…" So Hayato spoke.
"Hmm?" Kobayashi Ayaka gave a cold side glance.
Oh? So you will ask after all. Good, you know what's good for you. Ayaka thought.
"…Why are you here?" Hayato asked.
"Having a mixer party with friends," Kobayashi Ayaka said indifferently.
Huh!? I at least fought with that drunkard, aren't you afraid I might get hurt?! You don't care about me at all!? Huh!? Ayaka thought.
"You didn't mention it," Hayato said.
"Do I have to report to you when I have a party with people? Do I also have to tell you how many girls and boys came to the party?" Kobayashi Ayaka said neither coldly nor warmly.
Did you ever mention to me that you come to places like this? Did you? Huh? Ayaka said in her heart.
"No," Hayato said, "…but it's quite late now, it's better to go home early. We're going back soon, do you want to come along?"
"Hmm, I'll see you off. Don't misunderstand, it has nothing to do with you; it's just that something like this happened, and I'm a bit worried about Nanao-kouhai," Kobayashi Ayaka said casually.
Oh, so she does care about me after all. I'll forgive you then. Ayaka thought to herself.
"Oh, it's fine, Ayaka-senpai… I'm fine, with Kobayashi-chan…" Before Nanao Akane could finish speaking, Kobayashi Ayaka stared at her.
Her cold gaze seemed to say, "If I say you have a problem, then you have a problem."
Nanao Akane didn't quite understand where Kobayashi Ayaka's emotions came from. She looked at Hayato, and after the latter nodded suggestively, Nanao Akane could only say, "Then thank you, Ayaka-senpai."
"Hmm," Kobayashi Ayaka's voice remained calm.
"Please wait, I'll say goodbye to my friends."
Hayato walked towards the somewhat dumbfounded Hachisuka Hidemichi, but he didn't speak directly to him. Instead, he first picked up the already delivered takeout, touched it with his hand, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, this food is still warm. Fengshi-san, thank you for treating me. But since a senpai is picking me up, I'll head back first."
"Ah, oh." Hachisuka Hidemichi, who had snapped back to reality, was about to put on his professional fake smile.
He then saw Hayato go to check on Follower Number One, who had been pushed to the ground. After receiving an "I'm fine" reply, he whispered a few words to her.
"Is this really Fengshi-san's territory?"
"Yes, the bar owner has a very good relationship with Hachiya-kun…"
"But… oh, never mind… Mm-hmm, then I'll be going now, thank you for today."
"No, you're welcome wwwww"
