122 Mizuto who is decisive

"Thank you. It's delicious."

Mizuto had to say that the okonomiyaki he had tried was the most delicious one that he had tried, so he decided to buy some more for a takeaway. "But are you sure that you are going to treat me?" 

Yes, he was speechless when Yoshino decided to treat him. 

"It's okay. You don't need to worry. It's your first time to be here, after all. I also want to apologize to you in everyone's place, as I don't want you to have a bad impression of them. They are all good people, but they are just a bit excited... to see you." 

Still, when Yoshino thought about those "Obaa-san" who wanted to molest him, she thought to use her family's power to stop them somehow. 

"I don't have a bad impression of them. Osaka is a great and lively place. I am glad to be here." 

"....." 

Yoshino was in a daze when she saw his smile and gaze. She thought that the reason he was glad to come here was because of their meeting. She was so shy at that moment and couldn't look at him straight.

Moreover, her face was so hot! 

"Then, Yoshino-san. Thank you for your treat. If we meet again, I will treat you. See you." 

With those words, Mizuto left with relaxed steps. 

"Ah, yes." Yoshino nodded, but when Mizuto had left, she only realized that she hadn't asked for his contact information! 

"Wait! Wait!" 

She tried to search for him, but unfortunately, she couldn't find him. Feeling at a loss, she decided to go back to her home, and she saw many groups of men in black suits, seemingly talking to each other. Their appearance was scary, and everyone would move away when they saw them, but when they saw her, they quickly greeted her. 

"Good evening, Yoshino-san!" 

Everyone greeted her uniformly, and one of them suddenly asked, "What's wrong, Yoshino-san?" 

"Ah, no-nothing!" Yoshino shook her head and quickly entered the house after she greeted all of them naturally. She thought of something for a moment until a familiar voice greeted her. 

"What's wrong, Yoshino? Why is your face so glum?" 

Yoshino was startled when she saw the person who asked her a question. "Grandpa!" She thought of something, then asked, "Why are you home?" 

"Why can't I be home?" Yoshino's grandpa was speechless. 

"Aren't you busy with the group? Moreover, what about Tsubaki and her mother? Have you solved their matters?" 

Hearing her question, her grandpa somehow understood why her granddaughter was in such an expression. "It's a bit troublesome." 

"Then, can you solve their problems?" 

"....." 

Watching his silence, Yoshino was helpless, then sighed. "Then, I will go back first." Sometimes, even though her grandfather was one of the executives of the largest criminal syndicate in the Kansai region, there were things that one could and couldn't do. 

"Take a good rest." Yoshino's grandfather only sighed before he took his cigarette to smoke, releasing the stress on his body. 

Yet, what no one knew was that the reason why Yoshino was troubled was because of someone. 

Nevertheless, Mizuto, who had left Yoshino, realized how troublesome the situation he had encountered and was glad by his decisive actions. 

Yakuza. 

No matter how many works have described this term and even tried to tame it, in this country, no people have a good impression of this term. People abroad might not think too much, but the people in this country hated them the moment they heard it. 

Mizuto knew that he might say to Yoshino that her family wasn't bad people, but he said all of that because he didn't want to have an unnecessary conflict with Yoshino, and he just wanted to eat delicious okonomiyaki without being troubled. However, he knew that people always had two faces: one that was shown to their family and the other one that was shown to others. 

Was the yakuza a good person?

Mizuto laughed when he thought about what he had said before. No yakuza were good people. While some people entered for a certain reason, the process that they needed to do when they became one definitely made them cruel people.

If Yoshino's identity was nothing but a daughter of a small cadre in the small yakuza organization, then nothing might have happened. Even if she left with him, it was okay as her parents didn't have the power to search or do anything against him. 

However, Yoshino's identity was the only granddaughter of the 2nd in power of the largest yakuza organization in the Kansai region! 

If her family knew that she was close to someone, there was no doubt that they would investigate him. Whether it was his family, education, relationships, or many others, they would try to search everything about him to make sure that he was clean, as he was sure that her family must have a lot of enemies. 

While Mizuto knew that this was a necessary process, he hated it.

Or rather, does anyone love the feeling of being investigated?

No way! 

When he thought his parents, Yume, Akatsuki, and many others were all involved and being investigated due to his relationship with Yoshino, he felt disgusted. 

Yes, a disgust. 

He didn't feel it toward Yoshino, but her family as they tried to do something like that to him. It was also why he was glad for his decisive action of using his "Brainwashing" skill to put thought into not searching for anything about him and not saying anything about him. Everything about him had become forbidden to talk about, and they would slowly forget about him. 

He also did this trick on Yoshino, which made him break his rule not to use the "Brainwashing" skill to make her not say anything about him to her family. He even used his "Identify" skill to know all of her family to prepare. 

Mizuto knew that he might seem paranoid for doing so, but the world was cruel, especially for those who stood above, as many wanted to pull them down. It was also why he never hesitated, especially toward his opponents, competitors, and those who weren't related to him. 

While Yoshino might have reassured him that nothing would happen, what was the worth of the voice of such a woman among the yakuza family?

Mizuto knew that in the patriarchal country and how loved Yoshino was within her family, there was no doubt that they would try to investigate him even if he was innocent. Moreover, even if he was clean and innocent, he could imagine that he would be threatened by Yoshino's family. 

With Yoshino's beauty, he knew that some of the members of her family might have feelings toward her, but due to their identity, they wouldn't dare to express their love. Yet, they could stop him by getting Yoshino's love and threatening him. 

Mizuto was helpless since he didn't expect that, due to his trip to Osaka and his small meeting with Yoshino, everything would be complicated. It was also due to this that he didn't give his contact information to Yoshino, and unless fate let them meet each other, he wouldn't approach her at all. 

Still, knowing this, he knew that he needed a group of bodyguards and high-tech security to protect him from those who wanted to harm him. 

While he knew that there was no need to do so, he knew that a human wasn't perfect, and he might miss something. Moreover, sooner or later, he needed to have this complete protection to protect his family.

Fortunately, at this moment, he was just an ordinary high school student in the eyes of others, so everything was easy. 

Still, if he really made a mistake, missing a single person from being "Brainwash," then someone from Yoshino's family tried to investigate him, then he had to say sorry to Yoshino that he was going to destroy her family.

He knew that he was being cruel to Yoshino, but the value of the beautiful woman he had just met was less important than his family, so he had to be cruel, especially when her family was a gang. Nevertheless, as he had completed all the protections that he needed, he returned to the hotel room. 

"Yume, I am back!"
