10 Come on, which one do you want? (1)
Yuuto glanced at the car with a perplexed gaze. Mainly because Kazuya Security Group was a subsidiary company of the «Kazuya House»'s Holdings company.
Kazuya Security Group —formerly known as Kolthof Securities International since it was originally a Dutch-based company —a private security company that was established in 1957. Staffed by over 75,000 employees, who are divided among 120 offices around the Japan, Kazuya Security Group is the biggest Japan.-owned security officer business in Europe and Asia. The company focuses on various different areas, including higher education campuses, commercial property, aerospace and defense sites, housing, malls, healthcare facilities, and chemical industries, and finally secure mining.
The company's main source of income is from military contracts, it isn't to say that it doesn't get private contracts but surely, it earns more money by following the government and its bureaucrats.
The thing is, the main reason this security company was bought was due to the fact that the noble «Kazuya House» focuses on five industries — pharmaceuticals, engineering, venture capital and mining. Of which the latter one is more risky due to the fact that mines in less development countries are presided over by cartels and mafias.
So, with a rational mindset, Yuuto's maternal great grandfather tried to buy the private Dutch company using a tender offer —which regrettably lead to a rather long proxy fight but regardless, in the end 80% equity was bought and the company was successfully brought under the «Kazuya House's» leash.
Regardless moreover, his father was an outsider in the family who married the eldest daughter of the Kazuya family head, and due to that the company that Yuuto's father started from scratch —Tiggra Investments, a venture capital firm— was handed over to the «Kazuya House» as dowry, I mean, reverse dowry.
Well, Yuuto's father did get the mining company in the end, so everyone won regardless of whatever happened.
Yuuto however, went out of his inner monologue as he saw Sayeko enter the limousine with haste, her face had an anxious expression plastered on it in the meanwhile.
"Yo, did you sniff cocaine or something, dude? " Aayaden said as he came in front of Yuuto and waved his hands at Yuuto's face.
"Forget that. Look at the front door of that limousine, Aayaden! " Yuuto said sternly with a frown on his face as he grabbed Aayaden's head and pointed it towards the limousine branded with the security company's name.
"What do you mean? It should be from Sayeko's security team or something… " the edges of Aayaden's lips curved as he carefully scrutinized the limousine as if he was relishing the beauty of a woman.
"The limo looks nice, must be costl- ehhh? " Aayaden's lips stopped moving as he furiously squinted his eyes.
"Isn't that…? "
"Yeah, it looks like that car is indeed from my company, however I don't recognize any of the security officers accompanying Sayeko… "
"What do you think this means? A secret rendezvous or a business meeting, hm? The latter is more probable since the security company is managed by my aunt, but then again, it doesn't seem like Sayeko's suited for business with her…innocent mindset —to be honest. "
"Yeah, she seems like a nice lady. I don't think with how she's sheltered, she'd be allowed to interfere in her family's business. "
Aayaden nodded as he hummed and finally, shrugged.
"Well, how about we follow her? " Aayaden chuckled as he sent a devious wink towards Yuuto. His hands reached his pockets as he pulled out a car key from it.
Yuuto wryly smiled and said, "Sure, why not? "
Yuuto looked at his watch, it was 11:45AM. From it, he could clearly see that it wasn't time for school to end yet, so it wasn't allowed for students to go outside the school area.
Well, who cares?
Yuuto walked towards the parking area along with the deviously smiling Aayaden.
"By the way, where's Takeshi? "
"Him? He's being pestered by his harem as usual, or something maybe."
"Hehehe, I just love the expression that appears on his face whenever I mention his imouto must be getting lonely in his house! " Aayaden snickered as he went close to a black SUV and unlocked the doors.
"A Range Rover Sentinel? Where did you get this one from? "
Yuuto exclaimed as he looked at the shiny and black body of the muscular SUV.
Range Rover Sentinel. A SUV that offers the apex of protection among its species. Also called a mobile fortress by security maniacs.
As far as he remembered, this car was costly — like a million or a half costly. So where did this broke-ass person that doesn't have anything except his trustfund get this from? Surely he didn't steal it from his father?
"Yikes man, I bought this with my own money of course, I'm not so terrible to steal, yo."
Aayaden cackled as Yuuto entered the front seat, and without delay, he entered also and sat on the driver's seat with haste.
"Wait, we don't have a license! What will we say to the police if we get pulled-over? "
"`Pulled over'? I'll see which bastard dares to pullover this car once he sees the wicked number plate on this car!"
"Don't tell me it's something like the Prime Minister's office or something…? "
"Blergh, that's too scary. No no, mine's not of that level but it's similar. Besides, I have thousands of ways to evade the police, so relax bro. "
Aayaden started the car as he smirked and downed the wind-shields and started the air-conditioner, which pleased Yuuto as he breathed in and out the cool, chilly air.
"How's the air? The air conditioner's a custom one I fitted for extra cooling; ya? "
Feeling the skimpy but skin-like tender seat of the car envelop him from his back, Yuuto moaned as he felt his aching back relaxing a bit.
This car is amazing!
"The air's totally fine! "
"Oh, 18°C doesn't make your bones itch? "
"Nope, turn it even lower if you can. "
"Monster. "
Looking at the area in front of the car using the front window, Aayaden sternly drove the car as it silently passed by Sayeko's entourage.
"Wait. We were supposed to follow Sayeko, right? " Yuuto squinted as he looked at the Aayaden who had the edges of his lips towering towards the heaven.
"Who said we're going to a brothel? This is all clever planning, dude. Have you never seen a thriller or a crime drama before? "
"If you haven't, let me explain the plan a bit. The thing is, the men following her seem terrifyingly experienced from their mannerisms, and I doubt they wouldn't notice it when people follow them. So, it's granted that they probably won't suspect someone that's on a similar distance —close but not too far. "
"It's called exploiting overused schemes — people always follow cars by driving behind them, so why haven't they thought of it yet that it's an overused scheme and will probably fail once the target realizes that someone has been following him right from the start? So, why not be follow them from a relatively close distance? That way, the suspicion will al-"
"Aayaden, please, don't rant. For God's sake; focus on following that woman. "
"Sure sure, it isn't like I have time to waste on you —an affiliate of the untaught masses— anyway." Aayaden hummed a mysterious yet cartoonist tune as he drove with moderate skills.
Yuuto sighed out of relief as he saw that the car wasn't totaled yet; and also due to the matter that he managed to catch a glimpse of Sayeko's entourage and mainly, her limousine.
"Say, isn't this a bit suspicious? If their motive was to secretly hold a rendezvous, then wouldn't they choose a lot more ordinary and less pompous method than this? "
Aayaden scoffed in disdain.
"Why are you so interested in what they're about to do? We're stalking her to find out where she is going to, and if that branding is real, right, dude? "
Yuuto hearing Aayaden's rebuttal nodded in return.
A glint flashed in Aayaden's eyes as he swerved the driving wheel to the left, which caused Yuuto's body to somewhat shake due to the effects of inertia.
"Heh, is she your new crush or something now? "
"Well, it does make sense though, dude. Since she has the same personality as Aya- I mean, Ayumi-san; and her characteristics also match that of… " Aayaden's voice trailed off as he let out a deep, cold sigh.
"Yeah, she does match 'her' characteristics, but then again; she doesn't sing like Sakuya, right? " Yuuto shrugged.
Yuuto only had crushes —except for Ayumi, who he loved for in a different way— on two, people since childhood, even though one was dead, the other acted as a replacement for the former.
You can stimulate the triggers that secrete happy hormones, but a new love is not a replacement for a past love. — that much he understood since: the concept of replacing does not apply. If people were books, you would read one book, and at some point it's finished. When you then read another book, it does not replace the first book. They both exist, you love them both, because they are unique. Your previous loves do not get erased by the next love. But; then again, he felt nice and could emotionally close himself off towards the death of his little sister; by finding a replacement for her —indirectly or not— and thinking of her as his sister in his mind.
His sister sang quite well, and so did Sakuya. His sister was on the short stick of size, and so was Sakuya. His sister talked in the same way as Sakuya. His…
Well, at least it doesn't hurt anymore when he mentions her in his mind — because he has a safe harbor, he deludes his mind into believing that she's still alive, somewhere inside Sakuya Mizuhara.
"Look man, I'm sorry about the fact regarding your little sister — even I am sad over the fact that, I can no longer hear her voice or play with her— but well, man, this is unhealthy as fuck! "
"Go and confess to her or something; it's been six fucking years! It's been six full years since you've been pining for her in secret, if I was you, I'd kill myself by eating tofu! "
"Hey, don't bring the Chinese in this one. "
"Yeah yeah, you never listen to me anyways."
Yuuto licked his dry lips and noticed that Sayeko's car was now a little bit farther in the distance compared to before, and they were currently slowly approaching an posh neighborhood.
Yuuto's eyes went wide as he saw the ever-familiar upscale European-style suburb with beautiful gardens and posh streets; furthermore the Edwardian villas, the Swiss cottages and the pompous mansion can only mean one thing…
He was in Denenchofu!
"The fuck, Aayaden? How long have we been following them for?! "
"Oh? Approx…1 and a half an hour, it's not too muc-… "
"What the fuck? Recess should've ended by now, the classes are now being held again! What will we say to the teachers?!?! "
"Relax, say that you had a stomach problem or something; that always works, right? "
"What do you mean by stomach problems?! That's fucking embarrassing! "
"Ho-"
"Your entire family has constipation and diahroae! "
"Don't bring my family into this, ba-! "
"Oh hey, look, they've stopped before a mansion, Aayaden! "
"Where?! "
The car slowed down as Sayeko's entourage stopped by a mansion located on the left side of the linear road clear of any vehicles.
The linear road and pathway was lined with beautiful gardens and most importantly, sakura trees, from which small white petals regularly fell.
Except for some gardeners cutting off some leaves from the bushes, there were no human to be seen in the surroundings except for the mansion which Sayeko's car stopped in front of.
Both of the men went silent as they snooped in on the entourage.
Sayeko quietly exited the limousine, and protectively surrounded in the middle by a group of bodyguards, she slowly walked towards the gate of the mansion while one of the bodyguards held one of her hands and guided her.
The other men who were left behind tapped onto the earpiece in their ears and constantly nodded, after a while they entered the cars and drove them into the mansion's garage with ease.
In the meanwhile, a man who donned a tuxedo exited the gate and exchanged respectful bows with Sayeko. His bow was suited for a submissive employee while Sayeko's one was modest, but then again it clearly suggested that she was the employer.
The man an appearance of donning a golden-threaded spectacles frame with his hair being combed impeccably. Just one look at him would give out the impression that he's a successful person in life.
Yuuto violently felt his chest turn as he frowned with immense suspicion.
"Hey, isn't that man your father's… campaign manager? " Aayaden asked as he slowly turned the car around, although rather pretentiously.
"Yeah. He…looks like he is that man…" Yuuto grunted.
Sayeko respectfully nodded as she entered the mansion, her bodyguards didn't follow her as they instead spread evenly around the mansion.
"My father's here, isn't he? " Yuuto had an expressionless look on his face as he patted Aayaden's back.
Aayaden didn't turn back.
"His campaign manager is here, so it's obvious that he's also here. Looks like he has arrived only now, otherwise he'd surely meet you… hm."
Aayaden said as he grunted.
"Even then, I guess that Sayeko has been coming here a lot or is at least acquainted with the campaign manager, because remember? She doesn't like people touching her hand or guiding her to somewhere, unless she knows the or something… " Yuuto said as he glanced at the sakura petals that stuck to the windshield like glue.
"Regardless, should we stay here for awhile or scram, bro? " Aayaden asked as he put his leg on the acceleration pedal.
"Scram. She's already in the mansion so we shouldn't dally any longer. "
"Plus: THE CLASSES MAN! THE MATH CLASS HAS STARTED! GODDAMMIT BITCH, DRIVE, SMASH THE PEDAL, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO BUT FLOOR IT, RIGHT NOW! "
Yuuto yelled as Aayaden, surprised from the outburst mistakenly smashed the acceleration pedal with his legs.
"Oh shit, we're gonna die! "
Looking at the car speeding towards the other side of the road, a bodyguard wafted through the bushes and smiled as he fiddled with his earpiece.
"Done sir. "
…
"Math class has already ended; and you guys have arrived just now?!?! "
"We're sorry ma'am. We met an old lady suffering from dementia who tripped along the way, so we both sent her home, we're really sorry for being late!" (x2)
After saying that almost simultaneously — it almost felt as if it was scripted previously— , two fatties lowered their heads towards the teacher apologetically .
This tactic is also called as the: [ Those who apologize first have the advantage ] tactic, by using that, the teacher won't be that heartless onto scolding the both of them.
"Being late is late regardless, although you've done a good deed, but there's a fine line between rewards and punishments, so you being late will be reported to the student council, and of course, the matter of helping an elderly home I'll report it as well!"
The female teacher wearing glasses made an extremely fair judgement .
"Takeshi-kun! "
"Y-yes ma'am?! " Takeshi stood up from his seat as he valiantly looked at the two fatties as if they had committed genocide on his clan.
"Take them to the Student Body, and write out their offenses on their track record. " The teacher nodded as she waved at Takeshi, as if to say: 'come here'.
Takeshi dryly smiled as he shook his head and walked towards the two fatties.
As soon as he reached them, he grabbed both of their hands and escorted them out of the class.
"Say, you both bother me so much, friends. "
"Well, is that old lady thing an excuse or is it true? " Takeshi nodded his head as he descended the stairs along with the fatties.
Yuuto lightly scoffed while Aayaden chuckled.
"Yup, it's all true. We just couldn't help it helping her, her face of confusion was very, very pitiful. "
"Well, anyways friend, school is about to finish an hour or so later, so I guess this is not really bothersome. "
For the sake of relevancy, the reason the teacher asked Takeshi to escort the both of them was due to two reasons — first being that he's the class representative, the other being that he's a really honest dude; which…isn't really what you would expect from a lolicon.
"Achoo~! Has anyone put a curse on my body? "
Takeshi suddenly had a coughing fit.
"I don't think so; maybe some girls are masturbating to you…? " Yuuto cackled.
"Eww, go away, friend. "
…
In this school, after every subject there's a period of time where the student council is allowed to return to the Student Body to report their duties and fulfill certain procedures. This amount of time is usually 10 minutes, and can be extended depending on the context.
The door opened as Yuuto smiled and looked at the girl who entered the room with an ethereal temper.
Ayumi Kazuya. Student council president representing the entirety of Year-3.
Spotting Yuuto, a worried smile appeared on her beautiful and gentle face.
Her hips-length hair was clean and tidy, and without any rough strands. Only two X-shaped scrunchies were on her hair as they held two different portions of her bangs away from her face.
While she was slender, her chest was pretty big while her thighs were ample. Her figure could be said to be pretty good. The black navy sailor uniform however, highlighted her bust as it pushed them upwards.
Yuuto's eyes fell down as he heard her concern-filled voice.
"What happened, Yu-chan? "
Ayumi came closer to him and grasped his hands, meanwhile ignoring the cackling Aayaden and the frowning Takeshi.
"Nothing really, senpai. " Yuuto said rather formally as he stood up and nodded respectfully towards the president.
Ayumi's immaculate yet slightly rose skin went pale as she barked in anger.
"I-I told you, don't call me senpai! Call me Aya-nee regardless of wherever we are! "
Doesn't this situation happen in reverse every time he sees this kind of thing in TV?
"O-oh, okay… "
"Hm, that's that then. So what happened that made you take a trip here? "
Yuuto coughed as he saw the pressing gaze of Ayumi. He almost felt like spitting his guts out due to the fact that he didn't like lying to her, but then again, what would her reaction be like if she heard that he was away stalking some girl?
"Ah, Aya-nee, what happened is that we —me and Yuuto— found an old lady on the street that stumbled and fell; when we came closer to her and helped her stand up, she told us that she couldn't remember where her house was! So when we found her home and delivered her there, and came back to school, we found out that a lot of time has passed and then the teacher sent us here! "
Aayaden finished his extremely lengthy explanation and started to heavily breath, his pores let out oil as he gagged.
Ayumi — being innocent and trusting as ever— nodded happily as she patted everyone in the room on their backs.
"You guys did a great job: helping out strangers and not leaving them behind, everyone should learn from you guys."
"Yu-chan, you're really sweet and caring as usual! ❤️"
Ayumi hugged Yuuto from his behind as he nonchalantly grinned. Aayaden on the other hand, rolled his eyes along with Takeshi.
The thing among the four best friends — excluding Ayumi and Yuuto — is that, neither of them had any feelings for each other except in a platonic way; which should be due to the fact that all of them grew up together and each of the boys had different interests in girls from the beginning.
Takeshi since the beginning had a catch phrase associated with him — "I only like little girls; even more so when she's my sister! My sister is as expected, really cute! "
While Aayaden for example…uh… had really unique interests in women, which shall and mustn't be stated at this moment.
…
"Taka-chan and Aa-chan; we're about to go to the beach at noon, why not join us today? " Ayumi asked as she looked at the leaving Takeshi and Aayaden from her desk with a hopeful expression.
Takeshi thought for a while with a pondering expression on his face, eventually he nodded.
"Surely Aya-nee, can I bring Minabi there? "
Minabi Etozawa…the loli tiger of the «Etozawa House».
Ayumi pleasantly nodded.
"Hm, the more the better! "
"What about you Aa-chan? "
"Um…sure, I have nothing else to do anyways. " Aayaden nodded as he pushed the matter regarding the studio waaay back in his mind.
"Why the sudden plan to go to the beach? " Takeshi asked with a frown.
Ayumi blushed as she put both of her hands on her chin and dreamily looked at Yuuto.
Yuuto felt a heated gaze on his back as he turned around and looked at the red-pinkish face of Ayumi with confusion.
"Oh that…? " Ayumi took a pause. "We've started to see each other, so…we're about to go on a date on the beach… "
Towards the end of her sentence, Ayumi's voice softened as it almost felt like a whisper.
Yuuto's lips twitched, well, at least she didn't tell something that could be easily misunderstood…
Yuuto knew one thing the most about Ayumi; and that was that she was all talk and no action. You might as well hear her talk about buying a condom but she'd die than rather touch one.
Wait, Yuuto never, ever dared her to buy a condom in a shop before; never!
Wait, he actually did dare her to d- let's just say that that never happened, okay?
Ayumi tilted her head as she lovingly looked at Yuuto; it almost felt as if heart-shaped figures were bursting out from her body.
Feeling the lovely atmosphere surrounding these two, Aayaden obscenely smiled whilst Takeshi nodded respectfully and thought if he could get his own sister to act like this.
Yikes, expecting a tiger to act like a meek deer isn't possible, much more so from a great tiger lord…
Takeshi shrugged as he personally felt like he did a good job in naming Ayumi as «Yamato Nadeshiko» because it suited her, right?
Takeshi then asked jokingly: "You guys have actually done it right?" with the purpose of asking Ayumi if she had gone on a date before with Yuuto.
Realizing that his formal tone and incorrect way of phrasing the question made it came out as rather obscene, Takeshi facepalmed himself as he prepared to apologize.
To that, Ayumi smiled: intent on teasing everyone in the room.
"No. We still haven't made a child yet, you know? Even though I would want one right now. "
Ayumi giggled as she secretly sent a wink towards Yuuto.
Takeshi, along with Aayaden pondered if what Ayumi said was correct or not, and nodded at the same time.
Before anyone could even say anything, Aayaden and Takeshi exited the room like tempest wind and left Ayumi and Yuuto all alone in the room.
"Hey hey! You don't think they've actually done… it?" Aayaden leaned on Takeshi as they descend the stairs.
Takeshi pondered with a thoughtful expression on his mind.
"…Siblings who are that close to each other are pretty unusual anyways. It's impossible they haven't done it yet; remember that time when both of them slept together and when they woke up, Ayumi woke up with her lower-body in pain? "
Looking at the dense idiot in front of him, Aayaden slapped his forehead.
"…Fucking bastard, that was due to her period, she had a stomach cramp…God, it was her first time that's why she didn't know what was going on…!"
Takeshi had an enlightened expression on his face.
"Oh, so that's why Yuuto gifted her with a rose that day…? "
Aayaden kicked Takeshi straight in the ass, which pushed him straight onto the breasts of a rather-mellow looking girl.
"Kyaa! Hentai! "
Aayaden facepalmed himself.
In the meanwhile, Yuuto chuckled as he saw the two people leave in the room while Ayumi giggled pleasantly with her head resting on top of her hands.
Yuuto's laughter suddenly stopped as he looked at Ayumi with a monotone grin.
"Aya-nee, these guys are okay, but don't say such things in the public too often…"
"Fufu. You're talking about the weird misunderstandings?"
Ayumi said playfully as she came and sat along with Yuuto.
Yuuto suddenly remembered all of the allegations filed against him by his classmates: a wolf with an underground basement —where he stores all of his rape victims— that he calls his church, a dude that plays pretend baby and mother with his cousin, a molester who trained his cousin since childhood to love only him, ectracetra…
"Right, those. Since we're brother and sister in public after all. You don't like being the target of weird rumors, right?"
"That's fine isn't it? Since it won't change the fact that I love Yu-chan after all."
She confessed while clinging to Yuuto's arm.
Yuuto, remembering some embarrassing allegations against him, became flustered which Ayumi misunderstood.
"Fufu, you get too easily flustered Yu-chan. I want you to hurry and and make me yours only. "
Her glossy long hair, her seductive and mesmerizing lips which could even tempt the most hardy saint in the world.
Is this a blatant invitation for ruination that shall litigate my lamination?
Yamato Nadeshiko, that is Yuuto's beloved sister, a beautiful flower.
As some time passed after Ayumi peacefully put her head on Yuuto's shoulder, she woke up from her stupor as she suddenly asked Yuuto a question.
"Hey Yu-chan! What type of swimsuit would you like me to wear? " Ayumi inquisitively said as she closed in on Yuuto with bashful smile.
"I…don't really know what types of swimsuits there are in total. Why not offer me your favorites and I'll choose one among them?"
"I see. There are many of them: one-piece ones which are cut off at the hips and generally less skin-blaring and of a more supporting suit, the regular bikinis, triangle, and bandeaus…"
Ayumi counted using her fingers as she patiently explained to Yuuto, Yuuto on the meanwhile.
—imagination—
Ayumi's overflowing breasts were covered with a frilly, floral bandeau as she smiled at him with a playful wink. The next moment she playfully danced near him as she threw cold water at his face…
Her bandeau slipped off as h-
—imagination ends—
"Yu-chan, are you listening? " Ayumi giggled seeing Yuuto's vacant and pondering expression as she waved her hands at his face.
Yuuto's body trembled as he brightly smiled and flipped a ok sign towards Ayumi.
"A bandeau! A frilly, floral bandeau! "
"Ah! You have good taste, Yu-chan. "
Ayumi nodded as she stood up and walked back towards her desk.
"So, can I leave now?"
Yuuto laughed as he stood up and prepared to leave the Student Body.
Ayumi remembered something as she stretched her hands towards Yuuto.
"Hey! What about yours, Yu-chan? What would you like to wear? "
"Well, anything is good. Your taste is good so I don't think you'll mess something up. "
…
Yuuto looked at his watch as the countless students exited the school with excited breaths and relieved eyes.
1:45PM
Ayumi bid goodbye to him as she left towards the mall to buy things for her trip to the beach.
Yuuto shook his head with a smile as he left towards the tennis courtyard, where Takeshi was practicing his skills.
The thing is, Takeshi is a dual-talent — vice-captain of the tennis club and his class's representative towards the student council.
Last time he heard, Takeshi was planning to enter the prefecture-level championships.
But all of them don't know that…
Takeshi does all of this to impress his imouto, who's a hardcore fan of tennis and regrettably, a handsome dude who plays tennis.
As soon as he reached the tennis courtyard, he stumbled onto the panicked Takeshi as he looked at Yuuto with a frigidly pale face.
"What? " Yuuto said as he looked at Takeshi with half-assed concern, because he knew from intuition that it would have something to do with Minabi — Takeshi's imouto— doing something really bad to him.
"E-even I believe this…haa…haaa...when I say it… ha…don't panic, okay friend? " Takeshi's sport polo shirts collars were stained with sweat as he gasped for air.
"Don't. I have no interest in whether your imouto tried to buy a bear doll or a vibrator. "
"It's not that you goddamm moron! Listen to me, Sakuya… "
"Sakuya's dating someone! "
"The fuck? Don't joke with me about her. "
The words that Takeshi spoke felt like the words came straight from Yuuto's mother's mouth; untrustworthy and without a doubt, poisonous.
"I'm not joking, if you don't trust me… "
Takeshi took out his phone and called Yuuto using it, Yuuto picked up the phone in surprise and looked at Takeshi with confusion written all over his face.
"I'll put mine on speaker mode, you go to some corner and listen to it, okay? " Takeshi said with a stern and rigid voice unlike before and dashed into the courtyard without saying even another word.
Yuuto seeing Takeshi's extremely serious and stern expression felt a tight feeling strike his chest, nonetheless, he was patient. He quelled the poisonous feelings combusting all at once in his chest as he went towards a corner and put his phone on his ears.
…
Takeshi stood on the green, organic pasture located beside the tennis courtyard.
Takeshi's feelings were heavy whilst simultaneously, his heart was beating to the point of bursting like a grenade.
His gaze went towards the tennis court, where two boys were constantly firing and deflecting shots at each other with gruesome and competitive expressions.
Behind the left side of the court, the female teacher on charge of teaching the club members was softly speaking with a girl wearing the school uniform; unlike the club members who wore sport uniforms, which spoke words that she wasn't one of them.
The girl had a benign expression on her face, it felt as if she was one of those roses dipped in cow piss if she were to even stand beside her peers. Her slender figure was giving off a rather pleasant atmosphere as she smiled and conversed with the teacher.
Sakuya Mizuhara. Music club's newest ace.
Takeshi closed in on them from their behind as he crouched and pretended to tie his shoes.
"Hey Kogure! Your swerve is too soft! "
Disappointingly, the female teacher glared and yelled at the boy on the left side of the court; while Takeshi was hoping for something else.
"Okay! "
The man, Kogure Himeno, a brown haired man turned back and replied with a smile on his face; occasionally, he would wink at Sakuya.
Sakuya smiled and rolled her eyes at Kogure.
"You can't win the next tournament with that! " The female teacher ignored the flirty exchange between her student and Sakuya.
"Get it near the lines… "
"Yes… "
Their conversation faded out within Takeshi's ears as he gritted his teeth and regretted over the decision of letting Kogure join the state matches with him.
Kogure Himeno, second-year and son of a famous tennis player and a celebrated romance writer. It went without saying that he was quite famous in the media due to his talent and, to a more bigger extent, being the love child of two famous personalities.
"Ten minute break! "
…
…
Takeshi laughed along with Kogure as he talked nonsense with a couple of friends.
"Good job out there, here's a sports drink. "
Sakuya softly patted Kogure's back as she melodically sighed and gave him a cold, can of carbonated liquid.
"Oh, thanks! "
Kogure smirked as he took the can.
"~~~"(Incomprehensible)
"~~~"(Incomprehensible)
Takeshi closed in on them for more clear, and transparent hearing.
Sakuya blushed as she rambled about something, while Kogure smirked even more and poked her leg.
Takeshi felt his soul shake as he felt a sense of anger towards these both. Even if it was due to a unreasonable and fickle situation and problem.
"Can you two stop flirting! We already know you're a couple! "
A boy cackled as he watched the both of them blush and pat their heads comically.
"Kogure's the second team ace, and is also guaranteed to bring the trophy home if he learns and listens more to Takeshi. In the meanwhile, Sakuya is also a good girl; she's the true ace of the music club and she also has a well-off family, she's cute, smart and also has a good sense of style. "
"Ah shit, damn all of these chosen people. Why can't we be like them? "
"Yeah, if I was Kogure, I'd give Sakuya lots of love. "
Two boys chatted with each other, stupidly, they didn't pay close attention to the fact that Kogure and Sakuya were both very close to them in terms of distance.
"Hey! I can hear you; you know! "
"Ah, you were there? "
"You were pretty loud anyways! "
Kogure sat down on the pasture as he sighed at the boys that were snooping on him.
"I personally don't mind, but be mindful of other people. We can't have this news leaking off outside of the club. " Sakuya spoke with a red face towards the two boys.
"Sorry 'bout this Mizuhara-chan. "
"Well, Kogure, are you guys doing 'those' things yet? "
"No, not yet. Our relationship is still very pure, even then it's only been a month, hasn't it Saku-chan? "
"Really, is this true? Come on' if I was you, I would rather not let a good lady such as Mizuhara-chan wait, you know? "
"C-can we stop with this love talk? "
The teacher suddenly came in between them and clapped her hands in a angry manner.
"Hey! Aren't you all supposed to be resting?! "
"Also, Sakuya, the trustee has called for you. Please come along with me. "
The teacher stretched her hands towards Sakuya with, a rather unintelligible expression on her face.
Takeshi meanwhile, had covertly stepped out of the conversation and started to talk to Yuuto on the phone.
«Yuuto, did you listen? "
«Yuuto?»
«Yuuto?!?!»
Takeshi checked the phone, it was still connected yet…?
…
Yuuto felt a stirring deep within his body, he didn't know what it was or how it happened, but nonetheless the stirring made him feel as if he was sick and half in the grave.
His stomach felt as if it was being pumped full of air, regardless the vomiting feeling didn't go away as he felt tired.
Finally, a minute or so later, the stirring sensation disappeared as relief hit his body, furthermore, a cool and refreshing sensation spread throughout his body.
Yuuto felt a bit weird as he opened his eyes and looked at his, all white sterile surroundings.
"Yes, this is food poisoning, the food we found in his stomach was found to be at least 5-years old and…rotten to such extents that I can't even call it filth! "
In front of him, a gold glassed man in a suit told the man in front of him as he nodded and respectfully went behind the man.
The other man, could be deemed as a demon straight from his mannerisms and his method of smiling.
The man was handsome to the extremes; he never smiled, yet a small, disdainful smirk was always on his lips; his hair was all dreadfully black, except for a single curl in the front which was snow white styled for fashion.
The man's posture emitted ruthless ambition fueled by rigid confidence; his back was always relaxed while his left hand was always in his pockets; his height could be considered as a giant to normal sized people, yet he also wasn't absurdly tall to the point of hitting the ceiling.
The man wore a black, spotless shirt and a dry to the extremes grin on his lips.
He approached Yuuto who was lying on top of the bed and yanked him out of it, and as soon as he did his hands left his pocket as he…
"BANG!"
A curled fist hardened like iron hit his face as Yuuto felt a piercing but glazing numbness surround his head.
Yuuto felt his vision immediately turn white; and his ears start to buzz as he fell on the ground with a bang!
"TRASH! "
The man with a grunted kicked Yuuto in the stomach as he smoothly glided through the room and hit the wall, but this time with an even more loud sound as Yuuto felt blood creep up towards his mouth.
Yet he didn't protest, nor did he say anything.
Because this was normal, and any sounds other than approval would lead to a bruise being created on his body.
This man was his father.
At this moment, there was a slight ruckus coming from the door entrance, it seemed to be a girl who was arguing with someone .
"Let me in! Why can't I go in! I'm his elder sister! Hurry up and move!"
"Little girl…the patient needs to rest right now…you still can't go in to visit him….." The nurse standing by the doors repeatedly used a reluctant tone to speak with the girl.
"How could I be disturbing onto my brother! I just only want to look at him! Hurry up and move!"
The nurse who was standing by the door entrance helplessly looked towards the doctor wearing a white suit in the room while Uesugi Hiroyuki, the Golden rimmed man, continually prevented the girl from barging in. Uesugi Hiroyuki once again sighed.
"Let her in."
After hearing that, the nurse quickly stopped the troublemaker in front of her and hastily left the room. The girl ran into the room, and upon seeing Yuuto crouching in one corner of the room, tears started to well in her eyes, as she dashed over planning onto hugging Yuuto who was lying on the floor.
