Inclusion
Dread and indignance. Those two emotions became plastered on Ichihara Jun’s face as he could no longer say anything. He stood there, rooted on his spot, watching me take Marika away.
Likewise, everyone who was watching the scene had no say in the matter. Some of them gasped at the turn of events while some just straight up found it too interesting not to record. They whipped out their phones to either snap a photo or record us.
However, I didn't need to do anything to stop that. Their followers actively interfered, giving us an easier time to get away.
As for why they did that, it's easily understandable. To protect them.
Besides, unlike me who could so shamelessly brush off anything that might latch onto my name by doing this, he's someone who cares too much about his reputation no matter how many negatives are mixed in it.
Obviously, letting us get away wasn’t a positive thing either. The humiliation he had to swallow would definitely become a stain on his image.
