Who are the delinquents?

"It's fine. You don't have to." Isao was speechless by the waitress, but he had to say this was the perk of being handsome. At the same time, while the woman who sat in front of him was a little creepy, she reminded him of Cassandra, so it was all fine, he thought. More importantly, he had a lot of experiences with creepy people, and no matter how horrible this young woman was, she was millions of times better than Apollo and his homo gangs, right? 

So, while it wasn't something to be proud of, his tolerance was quite high toward creepy people.

As he sat down, the young woman could smell his pleasant, refreshing, yet manly scent, which made her face flush even further. Frankly, by using his scent manipulation, he could make an aphrodisiac and make women be in heat, but as he was a good person, he wouldn't do that. 

"Excuse me," he said as he sat down, and the young woman shook her head furiously and said, "It-It's fine..." 

"Thank you." Isao nodded with a gentle smile, causing her to lower her head further. He thought she was cute, and while she was a bit creepy, he could see she was a good girl, so he wouldn't do anything. Looking at the menu, he looked at the waitress, who still stood by his side, and asked, "What's your recommendation?" 

"Ramen!" 

"Fried rice!" 

"..." The waitress and the young woman. 

"...then, I will order the two of them," 

"Is that okay?" The waitress was surprised. 

"I am rather famished, so it's fine." 

"Okay~! I will prepare it right away~!" 

Wasn't it the chef who prepared the food?

Isao looked at the waitress and subconsciously glanced at her hands, trying to search for a ring on her slender, white ring finger. Unfortunately, he didn't see any, so he was uninterested. 

Only the young woman waited for Isao to say something. Unfortunately, Isao didn't say anything and just quietly started to read his book. 

"...." 

Ayase Ayatsuji was speechless, but then she knew that she had to say something. While it might be strange, and even quite too much, she thought that this meeting was fate. 

Yet, if Isao knew what she thought, he would look at her weirdly since they had only talked in a few words. Their meeting lasted just one or two minutes, and then suddenly, she fell for him. 

However, he also didn't feel strange. 

It was like how a man saw a beautiful woman who also happened to be his type. When he saw her approaching him, and they were so close to each other, his desire to get to know the woman was strong. 

The feeling of Ayase was like that. The only difference was that she was a woman, and he was a man. 

While she had a lot of interest in Isao, he didn't have much of an interest in her. 

Yes, she was beautiful, but his type was unique. While she might be one of the most important characters in this world, it had nothing to do with him. 

Nevertheless, while Ayase knew that she should say something, she didn't know what to say. The theory was easier than the practice. If it was in her mind, she could think of anything, but in reality, it wasn't easy to approach someone, especially those they had a feeling for. 

Her heart suddenly beat so fast, and her face slightly flushed, but no words came out from her lips before; in the end, she just quietly ate depressedly. 

While Isao noticed her reaction, he didn't pay attention and just quietly read his book until the eatery was opened once again. Unlike before, when he entered and caused the entire place to be quiet, this time, when this group of people came, everyone also fell into quiet, but their expressions quickly turned displeased and frightened as this group of people came. 

Yet, unlike others who didn't want to get involved with this group of people, Ayase's expression turned to hatred, rage, and frustration when she saw this group of people. 

Isao noticed her expression, but he didn't say anything. 

"Guess, here is your order." 

The waitress said sweetly as she slipped her phone number to Isao. 

"Thanks." Isao nodded at the waitress warmly, causing her to blush before he started to eat his dinner. "It's quite good." 

Hearing those words, Ayase looked at Isao for a while, then let out a helpless sigh before she continued to eat her dinner. However, while no one wanted to do anything with this group of people, this group of people came to her. 

"Hey, isn't it Ayase?" 

"It's been a while. Where have you been? Have you trained hard to fight Kuraido-san?" 

"Kekeke, no matter how long you train, you won't be able to defeat Kuraudo-san!" 

This group of people who noticed Ayase quickly came to her table. While they had noticed Isao, they decided to ignore him, or rather, they wanted to annoy him, trying to show their dominance in the group, especially when the girls in their group couldn't look away from Isao. 

Still, they had a feeling that Isao wasn't someone that easy to mess with, yet with their identity, so why should they be afraid? 

Especially when they had the backing of Kuraido-san! 

So, all of them tried to approach Ayase, but Isao said, "Get the hell out. You make my food taste bad." 

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear to everyone. 

Having said so, Isao continued to eat, yet this group of people didn't dare to approach Ayase, who shared a table with him and looked at each other with hesitation. 

"...." 

Ayase looked at Isao dumbfoundedly, but the rest of the guests chuckled at this group of delinquents, thinking that they were a joke. 

Chuckle! 

They glared, but they didn't dare to do anything with Isao in their presence. 

All of them hesitated until one person, who was clearly different from the small fries, started to walk. Like the rest, he dressed like a delinquent, but unlike them, he had a large skull tattoo on his chest, which he exposed under his half-buttoned-up shirt. 

When this man saw Isao, his expression grinned, and he could see that this young man was strong. He showed a bright smile, showing razor-like teeth, and said, "Sorry, sorry. My guys are—" 

Crash!

Crack!

His face was directly pummeled, and he was thrown directly outside the store as the door of the eatery was destroyed. 

Isao didn't bother to talk since he knew that in the end, what this guy wanted was just a fight, so he just beat him directly. 

[You have acquired Kuraudo Kurashiki's DNA.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

Naturally, Isao thought, and slowly, he recalled his memories about this world. 

"....." Everyone. 

Isao glanced at the group of delinquents and asked, "Take out all of your money." 

"Ah, yes." 

All of them were obviously delinquents, a group that loved to bully others, but this time, they took out all of their money, giving it to Isao as they didn't want to be beaten. 

"I didn't ask. You gave them to me by yourselves, right?" 

"Yes! Yes!" 

Hearing his words, while they cried inwardly, they nodded like a pecking chicken. 

"Good." Isao nodded. "Tell the owner that you are going to take care of the repair too." 

They wanted to say something, but they quickly shut their mouths when they saw Isao's gaze. 

"Do you need me to repeat myself?" 

"Let us take care of all the repairs of the store!" 

All of them shouted with all of their might. 

"Now, go and apologize to the owner there." 

"Yes." 

While saying so, Isao gave all the money to the waitress and said, "That's for dinner. I don't need the changes." 

 "Um..." The waitress blushed and nodded fervently as she scratched his palm obscenely. 

"..." 

Isao nodded and sat in his seat again, continuing his dinner quietly, elegantly, and calmly as if nothing had happened. "Is there something on my face?" He looked at Ayase, who kept staring at his face in a daze. 

"N-Nothing!" Ayase's heart was beating so fast, her face flushed red, and she knew that she had to say something since she didn't want him to disappear from him, but—

BANG!

The front area of the store exploded directly, and the man, who was beaten by Isao, stood up with a bloody face and crooked nose. 

"I WILL KILL YOU!"
