No Love Zone - 23

"Hey, Azami-kun!"

Azami, who had just stepped on the last step of the stairs, turned his head towards where Toshiro was waving at him.

"Yeah, what's wrong Shiro-san?" Azami asked as he walked over to Toshiro who was sitting on the sofa in the lounge with the other gangsters.

"Do you have any plans today?" Toshiro answered again asking Azami.

Azami was silent for a moment, before shaking his head. "No. Goshi-san told me to take today and tomorrow off."

Daichi who heard Azami's answer, immediately snapped his fingers. "Good! Come with us today. We're going to the salon to do our hair."

"That's right! Come on Azami-kun, come with us. You can also dye your hair, if you don't want to cut it." Bokuto said and agreed by Daichi, Toshiro and Haruko.

Azami glanced his eyes at Bokuto, Daichi, Toshiro and Haruko in turn. "Okay, I'll come with you."

The sound of exclamations of joy aired in the lounge. It looks like Bokuto and Haruko have done a high five. Daichi and Toshiro were no exception who pointed their thumbs at Azami.

"Who's going to the salon today?" Azami asked looking at the four gangster members in turn.

"Of course we're all on vacation today. We've been planning this since last week." Bokuto answered and Toshiro, Daichi and Haruko agreed.

"After we finish from the salon, we can immediately pick up Yu-chan from school and take her around together." Daichi said giving advice and it was agreed by Toshiro, Bokuto and Haruko.

"That's right! Yuta-kun and Juza-kun will come after when their business is done." continued Toshiro, who was responded to by a loud shout by Bokuto.

"Wow! Our plans will be more exciting today!"

"You're right Bokuto-kun." Daichi said with a chuckle and ruffled the top of Bokuto's head.

"Shiro-san, when do we all leave?" Azami asked which made Toshiro turn his head towards the clock on the wall.

"After Julian-kun, Tenma-kun, Kuroo-kun and Reki-kun returned to refuel the car. Maybe they will come soon."

Azami nodded his head slowly and now his eyes turned to the main door when he heard Tenma's voice talking. Likewise with Toshiro, Daichi, Bokuto and Haruko who have now moved from their place.

"Come on! We can go now." Reki exclaimed excitedly.

"All right, all right! Today we will take turns driving cars, okay?" Toshiro said and the other gangsters agreed.

Now Tenma, Julian, Kuroo and Reki's gazes turned to Azami.

"Wow! Azami, you're going with us and aren't you?" Julian asked which made Daichi put an arm around his neck.

"Of course Julian-kun. You don't need to ask anymore." Daichi replied, now his other hand was stretched out to ruffle the top of Julian's head.

"Yosh! The more crowded, the more exciting!" Reki exclaimed with a bright grin on his face.

Azami nodded his head, agreeing with what Reki said.

Now they all walked towards the two cars that were parked in the yard. Toshiro and Daichi who had not yet entered the car went to several other gangster members who were guarding outside the house.

Meanwhile, Azami chose to enter the car containing Julian, Kuroo and Reki. In the car he was using, Julian was the one who would drive first.

After confirming Daichi and Toshiro got into another car. Julian immediately started the car he was driving following the car he was driving, Daichi, Toshiro, Tenma, Haruko and Bokuto splitting the Yokohama city road.

***

Azami, who just got out of the car, turned his head left and right. He felt familiar with the buildings that stood around him at this time.

Puk.

"Hey, why are you just silent Azami?" Julian asked while patting Azami's shoulder, making Azami gasp in surprise.

"Ah no."

Julian put a smile on his face. "You must be familiar, right, with the buildings that are around us right now? Yep, right! We are in Tokyo right now. Welcome home Azami!"

Azami who heard Julian's exclamation, was speechless. He didn't know how to react at this point. Happy, annoyed, or even afraid. He is afraid that if he meets his old friends and the gangsters will find out his true identity.

"I know, you're feeling touched right now, right? That's why you can't say anything in response to what I said!" Julian said confidently.

Kuroo and Reki who heard Julian's confident words burst into laughter.

Tenma, Daichi, Toshiro, Haruko and Bokuto who just got out of the car frowned as they looked at Kuroo and Reki who were laughing.

"Hey what's wrong? Why are you two laughing like that?" Daichi asked which made Kuroo and Reki try to stop their laughter.

"No, we're just amused to hear Julian-san's words being so overly confident." Reki replied trying to stop his laughter.

Tenma raised an eyebrow at Kuroo. "That's exactly what Julian-kun said, that you all burst out laughing with satisfaction."

Kuroo and Reki now exchanged glances at each other, before they imitated what Julian had said to Azami.

Tenma, Daichi, Toshiro, Haruko and Bokuto chuckled seeing how Kuroo and Reki were modeling Julian and Azami's voice and behavior.

Azami and Julian could only shake their heads sadly.

"It's done, it's done. Instead of continuing to talk here, we'd better go straight to the salon. If it's getting late, there will definitely be more customers coming." Said Daichi finished and agreed by the others.

Now the nine of them stepped foot into the salon they were going to visit.

Azami, who was not sure which salon they would visit, chose to walk behind with a long sigh. He hoped he wouldn't run into any of his old friends all day.

***

Azami took a deep breath again, somehow for the umpteenth time today.

Now Azami is sitting in one of the chairs provided in the salon along with other gangster members, to wait for Reki who is still being served by salon employees.

"Ah, Azami-kun. If you dye your hair this color, we will believe that you are Yuri-chan's older brother." Daichi said which invited laughter from the other gangster members.

"You mean, all this time you guys don't believe that I'm Yuri's older brother?" Azami asked while rolling his eyes.

Daichi who saw Azami's response laughed, then one hand reached out to rub the top of Azami's head. Makes Azami's hair that is already neat become irregular.

"Yes, you can say that. Your current haircut also looks fresher."

Azami turned his head towards the mirror, then looked back at Daichi.

"I just wanted to try getting my haircut back when I was a student."

Tenma, who had been paying attention to Azami's new hair color and haircut, somehow reminded himself of someone. But he doesn't really remember clearly who the person who has the same color and haircut looks like Azami.

After Reki finished with her haircut, Azami and the eight gangster members walked out of the salon.

"Where are we going after this?" Bokuto asked looking at the gangster members and Azami one by one.

"Yuta-kun said he, Juza-kun and Yuri-chan are on their way here. It might take about an hour." Toshiro answered and his colleagues responded with beoans.

"Ah, how about we go around for an hour first. Maybe there's something you guys want to buy, while we're here?" Daichi asked giving advice to his comrades.

"Agreed! We'll just go around, until they get here. How about it?" Answered Tenma and was approved by the others.

Daichi nodded his head. "Alright, then we'll go around until they get here."

Azami, Daichi and the other gangsters started walking out of the salon building to spend some time around until Juza, Yuta and Yuri arrived in Tokyo.

The nine of them entered several shops to look at the items being sold and bought some items to take home with them. Not infrequently they chatted and laughed because of some of the things they saw along the way.
