Become friend?

The next day, morning, Seika HS.

A immaculate white limousine was going on the road in front of Seika HS and stopped before its gate. In that moment, From the rear door of limousine, two men, who were wearing dark purple suit jackets with a white, wide, horizontal line dyed around it on the chest level and six golden buttons. There were matched with a white service cap and a pair of elegant, dark purple, suit pants.

These two men unrolled a long carpet, enough long to reach Seika HS main building entrance from the gate. Meanwhile, five teenager who were wearing white high collar zip-up jacket and tailored pants with a purple outline came out from the middle door of limousine.

They were students of Miyabigaoka High School where only rich families could afford its fee; a high level school. The reason for their visit was the happening happened the pervious day when Misaki went to that school to apologies for an accident that involved a pair of senior of Seika HS.

They started walking towards the entrance of Seika HS under many students' surprised and curious gazes. That who was leading that group of five rich young buy was a tall and extremely handsome fair-skinned young boy with golden eyes and yellow-green hair that had bangs hanging on the right side of his face. He was Tora Igarashi, Student Council President of Miyabigaoka HS and the heir to the Igarashi Group.

"They really come... better take out Ginnie... I really want smash that face..." (???)

Tadao frowned when he saw them like some jackals were going to rob him. He was in the hallway from where he could observe the gate. By the way, Ginnie was Tadao's favorite silver bat and he used it to put some sense to some FFF Inquisitions of his middle school and some nearby high schools.

However, it was a story for another day.

Yesterday, he was out in another town for some business so couldn't join Misaki's 'apology group'.

"... Maybe I should restrain myself..." (Tadao)

After Tadao cooled his head, he changed his mind and opted for another chance to beat him in the future. He slowly walked to his class like nothing to go to Takumi who was also watching the unusual situation.

***

Several hours later, afternoon, ???.

Outside a well-health bar-restaurant in the same of town where was located Maid Latte, Tadao was eating a piece of cream cake. He was really enjoying it. Its tender soft and compact consistency made of high-quality vanilla and baking powder. It was accompanied by a slight aftertaste of honey and condensed milk garnished by some pistachio powder on top.

When Tadao sliced a piece, the three layer of cream slowly gushed out covering the rest of sliced piece, making cream taste more uniform and exalting pistachio on it.

When it entered in Tadao's mouth, he could feel that piece melting and letting him taste the meaning of sweet and cake.

In that moment, a person take a seat on the same table where Tadao was sitted. He waited Tadao finish his 'tasting moment'.

That person was a young boy of average height with short black hair and those on front were split from the middle of his forehead not letting them cover his always narrowed eyes and that 'punch me' smile on his face. He was also in the group that visited Seika HS this morning and he was still wearing his Miyabigaoka school uniform too.

He was Kanade Maki, Vice-President of the Student Council of Miyabigaoka HS and Tora's right hand/butler.

Tadao had already noticed him and he had a good impression on him. They were quite similar with few differences.

"Thanks you for agreeing to meet me, Maki-san. You don't know me but I know you very well. I know you are busy on searching information on Misaki Ayuzawa for Igarashi-dono. But I have to warn about a thing; you must never lay a single finger on her family. It is my bottom line." Said Tadao with a smile similar to Kanade's one. He was just giving a slight warning, nothing really serious.

"Then why should I listen you, err-." (Kanade)

"I'm Tadao Usui." (Tadao)

"Usui-san then. Who are you? What make you think you are in position to set something with me?" (Kanade)

"We both know what we can do and what not, Maki-san. Don't worry, I'm Chiyo-san's friend, so I hope he could cool down his reckless search for women too." (Tadao)

Maki knew who was Tadao since his name was in the information he found on Misaki. He was one of duo Usui of Seika HS and Misaki Ayuzawa's friend/enemy. However, during his search on Tadao there were some unknowns information blackouts that stopped him from continue his search.

In addition, before he done that he found Tadao had some connections with some rich families that had their heir in his same class, included Chiyo Sakurai from Sakurai Family, a rich family of Kyoto. Even if Chiyo was really low-profile, her father was Mr. Igarashi's friend and they were ones of more powerful men of Kyoto.

"... All right. Although I know Sakurai-san has a friend like you who want help her, I don't trust you at all. I can accommodate you for now, but don't even think you can ask me something else as her friend." (Kanade)

"Hehe, we are rational people. Since we have similar goals, how about become friends firstly? After all, you wish only best for him while I want she be happy. Isn't this a win-win situation?" (Tadao)

"Become friend?" (Kanade)

Kanade was a bit confused by Tadao's last sentences since he didn't expect someone want be his friend after only 5 minutes since they met. When he pick up a call of a unknown person, he thought it was someone who wanted take an advantage on him or Tora, both too.

Now, he was before a 'common' boy who likes eat cakes and Chiyo's friend, apparently. He didn't refuse Tadao since be friendly with someone who can find his phone number and Tora's order without be noticed wasn't an average fellow. He agreed to become friends and exchanged their contacts.

He wasn't angry for Tadao's arrogance since they had already found an agreement. And broke it right after that wasn't his style. Obviously he would send his subordinates to find every information he could on Tadao through his connections in his circle.

After they ended their discussion, Kanade ordered a cup of Gyokuro tea and slowly tasted it.

Normally, this kind of tea shouldn't served to average guests but he could because that local was of a subcompany of Maki Dinner Group, and he as its heir he was allowed to order such tea. However, he still want pay it as other guests

After both ended their enjoyable moment, they left that local and continue their commitment and hobby.
