Chapter 34.2: Backfire (2)

A cackle can be heard from other customers eating, some of them suppress it but they just broke into laughter.

Laughter is contagious, truly contagious

I'm not a guy who throw insults like this without thinking through carefully, but since my disguise looks thug, i should act as one.

"Why Are You Defending This Restaurant‽, Think About Your Childrens Health!"

The woman wants a sympathy but i won't let her.

"Nah, it's pretty obvious you set this up."

"Evidence! Evidence‽"

"Common sense."

"Irrkkk-" She's boiling in anger.

If they hire someone, they should at least be professional, does these couples easy to bully that they send someone as pathetic as them.

"You're pretty arrogant as a thug huh, let's see how tough you are..."

Then he started to make a call, but i wouldn't like that move, i need to make them leave, more provocation is my answer.

"Oh, you can't reason anymore that you are relying to call someone huh, that's pathetic, who's the one your trying to call? Your mom?"

He's clenching his phone, the call is still ringing, that's because i messed up the radio waves with this gloves i have, i upgraded it and it covers the whole arra of restaurant, every device that enter the range will be interfered.

As the phone continue to ring, he slowly noticed that people attention are mocking them, i just need a little push and everything will be easier.

"Come on, you tried to bully someone and now you're afraid of the failed set up you did and trying to have a back up to boost your ego? That's hypocritic isn't it? Just leave, you are only causing unnecessary fear to people with your lies." I kept scratching the wounds to make them resort to violence.

She tried to slap me, the man in her left tried to stop her but i don't want to block it, rather dodge it and redirect it to him.

A crunchy slap landed in the nose of the man.

Here it is.

"I'll Kill You!"

He clenched his fist and furiously launched a punch but i didn't dodge it too, i just looked up and let him punch my sharp jaw.

It's heavy but i am trained to reduce the impact of punches, it hurts but it didn't make my face flinch.

"Oya, resorting to violence isn't good, not only you've cause physical damage, but also verbally threaten me, you are going to jail for that mate."

I show them my second phone with the number 118, and the call is already 3:47 minutes, everything was heard and with the GPS of my new phone, they will be able to locate this place.

The man lowers his fist and got chills probably.

"Le- lets get out of here." The woman held his back trying to go away but they are already here.

"Stop moving you two, you've cause violence in this place, outside this place you explain." 3 police officers blocked the door, and one of them is woman, she's in the middle.

The 2 policeman blocks the two.

"Don't resist, get out."

I can see their anxiety, if the police didn't come, these two and i would resort to violence.

"Did the area he punched hurt?" The policewoman asked me.

She is Miru's cousin, Isha Aragi, she's the one who's investigating me from behind.

I don't know the reasons but it must be a personal problem, until when i found out their background and objectives.

Miru's sister was a victim on an unfortunate incident that seems covered in public information, Isha can't definitely do this so it's probably the higher ups, and her investigating us definitely has something to do with rich families.

It's a perfect timing to bait her, she will help me one way or another, not only that, she can also benefit and find what she wants to.

"Of course it is why are you aski-... Yes, it is."

I don't want to be rude anymore so i dropped the tough thug act.

Base on her reaction, she is smart as she can read my body movements and cool her self when she saw the change in my actions.

"How about you sir and maam?"

"Umm, we are okay." Osomi respond

"We are going to take care of it."

I entered the conversation.

"Please miss police, the harassment also happens on internet, you can see it on how many customer are here, it would be appreciated Mr. Hakai if you file a complaint, as you heard and see miss, the harassment already reached this point."

I pointed my jaw where the man punched

"Certain, we can do that, we will make sure to investigate the cause of this problem."

They nod as a response to her.

Meanwhile, it's time for me to spark some interest.

"Well then, Mr and Mrs. Hakai i'm about to go, thank you for the food, remember that i will call you later, Rose Garden cafe restaurant would like to have your service, you show an great compassion about your foods despite being bullied, with our help, they will have a hard time to mess with you."

I walked out when i said that line.

Both Isha and the customer respond to what i said.

Then the customer started to speak on their companions

"Rose Garden cafe restaurant service? That's long!"

"You can simplify it as Rose Garden."

"I heard they have a great ratings from the people that tries their date and hangout service."

"Yeah, and they are giving a trial for free since they just opened 2 weeks ago!"

"Should we try there?"

"Partnering with them huh... The seafood here are great, and Rose Garden is a big restaurant that offers huge variety, oh wait.... They sponsored a summer event!"

"Let me see!"

...

Several gossips comes to both promote and spark curiosity, not only it will promote us but also this restaurant, and as for Isha...

"Wait a minute..." She interrupted me from walking.

I looked at her at my left.

"What's your name." She asked me.

"Gah... Takumi Takime."

Good thing is that i created many false identities for all these week, thanks to Neru.

"We can escort you hom-"

"No. I don't want to, just protect the two, they are weaker than me."

She wants to reason but i already left.

*****

I came back home and rest on my room, i have something on my mind.

How will i deal with Furuwari's problem, she must been used a lot to the point she can't control her sexual desire... This is going to be a huge problem, base on how she looked at me on the train, she's slowly losing her dignity.

Next is that bastard boss of hers, it's easy to kill him but there are so many variables that will be problem, it is not a perfect time to kill him, rather, i need to find a way to prevent him from using Furuwari again.

Isha, i don't know what she's trying to find, it may not harm us but it would if she stay close to me, i won't be able to move freely as a Reika with her around, i would need another identities, and it will be troublesome if she found out that Takumi isn't real.

[Mechanica...]

[Yes.]

[.....]

Does such item will exist? This system might have limitations, is it?

[Can you find me an item that i can use to control as puppet?]

[There are a lot, be more specific.]

[Something where i can control it's movement and the way it speaks.]

[You won't be able to do that unless you have a soul link thread.]

[Soul link thread?]

[.... Judging from the situation earlier, to be precise, you would need a Soul link thread and Adaptive Mannequin.]

[Elaborate how will that help me.]

[With adaptive mannequin, you can apply your Fashion Foolery skill and change it to life like being, it will also be fluid as human so you don't need to worry like being robot...

Soul link thread is a consumable item that will map your consciousness to the object you've chose, not applicable to living or organic matter, you will be able to control the mannequin like a human but, your body will remain into inanimated state.]

[I see, so, how much?]

[3000 Karma for adaptive mannequin and 500 for every Soul link threads. Both will be unlocked at level 5]

[.....]

[...]

[...]

[.....]

[...This is a extortion.]

[It isn't.]

[I only have 618 Karma after upgrading my Electric Glove Regulator...]

[It isn't my fault.]

[Psychology trick, just like microtransactions on games.]

[.....]

[Ha, so... Can i gain Karma without your missions? Can i get Karma by becoming a philanthropist? I never become one before because i can't escape that country.]

[You can.]

[Good, going to call Neru, i will contact some future philanthropists and use my money to donate on people, anyway, how does this level work? Where did i get those exp?.]

[From the experience itself, and Everytime you spend Karma points, i will upgrade when specific karma points are reached.]

[Can you tell me how much you need for level 4?]

[3,461 Karma points for level 4, 8,000 for level 5, 13,200 for level 6, 15,700 for level 7, 19,300 for level 8, 22,400 for level 9 and 30,000 for level 10.]

[That's a lot.]

[You can do it.]

....

After some conversation and confirmation, i hang up the phone.

I lie down on my white bed, i just took off my coat and shoes, all that was left is the white long sleeve buttoned shirt, all of the buttons are open as it shows my torso.

"Damn. It will be summer, its hot."
