"There shouldn’t be anything left to do now, just waiting for the official opening."
"Yeah! Sister Rion, I’ll bring some friends along next week to support you too!" Tsukimi Sakurazawa chimed in, following Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s lead.
"Thank you so much~ Sakurazawa!"
Shirakawa Sawahei silently watched as these two got closer seemingly out of nowhere and couldn’t help feeling the urge to make a sarcastic remark.
The friendships between girls really are puzzling.
"Xiao Mo, you have to come too!" Hinata Rion reminded.
"Um... yes, I’ll be there..."
"Okay, let’s all go have a late-night snack! My treat!"
Shirakawa Sawahei recalled the last time Hinata Rion mentioned going for a late-night snack and ended up making an explosive remark, casting a suspicious glance her way.
Hinata Rion acted as if she didn’t notice, shouting, "I’ll go grab the car, don’t bail on me this time! Got it, Mr. Shirakawa, and Jin!"
"Got it!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin said decisively, "The last time was because of Shirakawa, this time there definitely won’t be any problems."
Shirakawa Sawahei thought to himself, if it weren’t for me last time, you two would have been dragged to a Minotaur Artist gathering; instead of thanking me, you’re blaming me?
As a Pure Love War God at the Minotaur Artist base, you’d have a hard time walking out alive.
He hesitated a bit, thinking that no matter how bold Hinata Rion was, she wouldn’t take Tsukimi Sakurazawa and Tachibana Tomoku, whom she just met, over there. He then relaxed.
Last time was because of Ishida Koji, that iron man; it’s unlikely we’ll run into him on the street again this time.
It seemed like something triggered some law of causality weapon because just as this thought started to spread, his phone rang.
As soon as he answered, Koji Ishida’s booming voice came from the other end.
"Ai Peng! Taske te! Help me!"
Shirakawa Sawahei’s expression changed immediately.
Koji Ishida was different from those two lackeys; his combat prowess was strong. To push him to plead for help , the opponent’s strength must be formidable.
"Where are you?" he asked.
Isn’t this guy’s girlfriend issue resolved yet? What kind of trouble did he get into now?
So arrogant, already blocked the house?
Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t hesitate, "Send me your location, I’ll be right there."
Upon hearing Shirakawa Sawahei’s urgent tone, Tsukimi Sakurazawa and the others couldn’t help but express their concern, "Shirakawa... is something wrong?"
"Shirakawa... should we call the police?"
Tachibana Tomoku didn’t say anything, just quietly grabbed Shirakawa Sawahei’s sleeve, worry written all over her face.
Shirakawa Sawahei composed himself, saying, "It’s nothing, just a friend suddenly needs help."
"You guys go for the late-night snack." Shirakawa Sawahei instructed, "You’re not familiar with that friend, so I won’t take you along."
The keen Tachibana Tomoku obviously didn’t believe this excuse, she gently held onto Shirakawa Sawahei’s sleeve, as if trying to latch onto him.
"At least let Sister Rion drive you..."
Shirakawa Sawahei was determined not to let the girls get involved in any danger, immediately waved them off, and quickly left the coffee shop.
"Shirakawa! Remember to call me back when it’s all settled!" Tsukimi Sakurazawa waved and shouted.
Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t turn back, his silhouette soon disappeared around the corner.
Koji Ishida’s location was sent quickly, Shirakawa Sawahei used Google Maps, finding that Koji Ishida’s home wasn’t far from the coffee shop.
Thinking about it, if it wasn’t nearby, Koji Ishida and his girlfriend wouldn’t have been encountered last time.
He abandoned the idea of taking a taxi and started running. At this time, considering the traffic condition, running might actually be faster for a short distance.
Arriving at Koji Ishida’s gate, Shirakawa Sawahei quietly heightened his alertness. The door wasn’t locked; he quietly stepped into the entryway, hearing banging sounds from upstairs.
Already kicking the door? So bold?
Aren’t they afraid of the police?
Without hesitation, he quickly went upstairs, the scene in front of him made him want to spit blood.
"Open the door! Open the door! Don’t hide and stay silent inside! I know you’re home!"
"If you have the guts to find a woman! Why don’t you have the guts to open the door!"
Koji Ishida’s girlfriend, Yamei, was banging furiously on the door with all her might.
"I can’t see you! Please leave, Yamei!"
Hearing that, Yamei was even more furious, kicking the door, "You must have brought a woman home! Open up! Can’t you hear?"
"Koji Ishida! Open the door!"
"I really can’t see you... Yamei..." Koji Ishida pleaded, "Ai Peng said I can’t see you yet..."
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
Hopeless, just wait for the end.
He was about to quietly leave this place of trouble when Yamei, in her anger, noticed him and turned, glaring at Shirakawa Sawahei, shouting, "Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"
"Wait a minute... you’re... that guy from the other day!"
Shirakawa Sawahei awkwardly said, "Nice... to meet you..."
He really didn’t want to get involved in this headache-inducing matter, but there was no choice; the trouble he caused, he had to resolve.
Koji Ishida heard Shirakawa Sawahei’s voice, ecstatic, "Ai Peng! You’re finally here!"
"Quick! Help me get Yamei out of here! I can’t see her yet..."
Yamei gave Shirakawa Sawahei, the culprit, another glare full of resentment.
Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, "Now... you can see her."
Koji Ishida hesitated, opened a small gap in the door, and Yamei took the opportunity to ram the door open and rush inside, rummaging around.
"Where is she?! Where did that woman go?!"
"You’ve been avoiding me mysteriously lately, isn’t it because you’ve found a new girlfriend!" Yamei furiously said, "You even dare lie to me."
"I haven’t." Koji Ishida was utterly baffled.
I was following Ai Peng’s instructions to stay away for us to calm down! How could you think that!
If I could easily find a girlfriend, would I still be single all this time!
With confused eyes, he glanced at Shirakawa Sawahei, seemingly wanting him to explain, but Shirakawa Sawahei subtly signaled him.
Hold on! Don’t explain, speaking now is death.
Wait for her to vent before breaking the impasse!
"Hello... hello, Koji Ishida." Yamei said, her voice couldn’t stop trembling, "I always thought you were gentle and kind, couldn’t believe you’ve turned into a scumbag."
"Seamlessly transiting! Two-timing! Are you mastering the legendary time management too!"
