Hachisuka Hidemichi immediately understood that Hayato wanted to express, "You say this is Fengshi's territory, but he has no authority at all. Someone is bullying people right in front of him, and he doesn't care?" Nanao Akane was one thing, but Follower Number One was indeed Kurashiki Reina's best friend.
Hachisuka Hidemichi belatedly realized that his sitting idly by was a slap in his own face.
"Don't worry, Kobayashi-chan!" Hachisuka Hidemichi immediately declared, "I will definitely make the troublemaker pay the price!"
Hayato looked over suspiciously: "Really?"
"Really!" Hachisuka Hidemichi nodded like a pounding garlic.
Hayato smiled: "That's good then."
Hachisuka Hidemichi breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting Kobayashi-chan to trust him again… Huh? Something still feels off.
"Wait! Hayato… Is that Mr. Kobayashi?!"
Hayato was about to leave when an unfamiliar tone and voice called out. The former turned his head and saw… what a guy!
It was Kouzen Sura.
So this guy can speak properly!
"This is my business card. I was deeply moved by your performance today. If you want to perform on stage again in the future, just come to me. I will arrange a place for you!" As if afraid of disturbing Hayato, Kouzen Sura spoke this long string of words with a very steady voice and extremely fast, clear, and powerful speech.
"…Oh, oh." Hayato nodded.
Although your current normal appearance is great, I still prefer your unyielding look.
They walked out of the bar.
Although this time was already late for high school students, for adults indulging in nightlife, it was just the beginning of the night.
The elevator only had people going up.
Only Hayato and the two others went down.
Kobayashi Ayaka watched Hayato and Nanao Akane whisper to each other, then turned her eyes to the night outside the glass elevator.
"Final exams are coming up," Kobayashi Ayaka suddenly said. "Don't come to places like this often. And Hayato, you need to protect your girlfriend."
"…Yes, yes!" Nanao Akane nodded repeatedly.
She wasn't familiar with Kobayashi Ayaka.
So Ayaka's "senpai vibe" still satisfied Nanao Akane… Is this what a senpai is like? Although she also came to a bar, and it was a mixer, Ayaka-senpai still seemed very at ease with the upcoming final exams. Is this a senpai's room (composure)?
So impressive.
"Ayaka-senpai…" Hayato, however, asked, "Why are you really at this bar?"
"Huh?" Kobayashi Ayaka was slightly displeased: "I already told you, my friends are having a mixer…"
Then she met Hayato's narrowed eyes, and she suddenly felt a little guilty, but still guilty:
"It's just a mixer… the kind where everyone discusses test papers… exchanges notes on subjects they're not good at, and then does targeted cramming…"
This left Nanao Akane stunned.
Then Hayato spoke her inner thoughts.
"That's called a study group!"
"What's the difference!? Anyway, everyone sits together, orders drinks, and then starts talking!"
"...And you're having a study group in a bar?"
"No, is that not allowed?"
"..."
