After what happened earlier, we found out that my secret relationship with Kumi is exposed to the whole school, and we're now trying to find a way to calm the situation down.
I was lying on the bed and my phone rang. I picked up the call and found someone telling me something. After hanging up I let out a big smirk.
The next day on lunch break I was heading out of class to go to the cafeteria but then I remembered maybe I should ask Kumi to come with me. I went up to her, but before I could even ask her, a group of guys grabbed me and took me outside the class, and they started questioning me.
"Since when did you and kumi-san start dating!?"
"How far have you guys gone so far?"
"When will you break up with her!?"
"Aren't you already dating Chizuru-san!?"
I was pinned to the wall and they're so close to me I thought I was gonna die from all the questioning, but Chizuru came out of the class and asked
"DAIKI! Want to eat lunch with me?"
The group of guy froze and stunned than all said (comically at the same time)
"D-Da-DaiKi? Chizuru-chan you use his first name!?"
"Yeah, why?"
The guy looked at me and grabbed me by the collar (again) and started shaking me, while whining.
"First you have Suki-chan, now you're telling you have Chizuru-chan too! you womanizer. You playboy! How could you! " the guy kept repeating non-stop.
I look at Chizuru giving her a signal to help me out but…
She looked back at me with a smirk, and then she started giving the innocent little girl act.
"I mean, it's not womanizing if the two girls wanted to be his girlfriend. Am I right?"
The guy was stunned, his mouth wide open and eyes lid up in despair. They fall to their knees and start cursing at me, while crying and chanting "It should have been meeeeee!!!".
I took the chance to run away and Chizuru soon followed. After we got to the cafeteria I asked.
"Why did you have to go out of your way and make the situation worse!?"
All she did was shrugged and continued with me to the cafeteria.
We found a table and after we sat ourselves we finally got to business.
"So, how is Hanaguri?"
"He's been really sneaky, if I didn't know that he was working for you I wouldn't even realize that he's been sneaking around the universities"
"And what about the doctor?"
"He continued on his day as normal but sometimes when I get too close to him and would he panic, while shouting at me to get out of his sight"
"I see…Listen Chizuru, the doctor is about to reach his end line. I kinda messed up a bit with my plan and now I can't delay any of the plans at all. I want you to research about a guy named Natsuki Manabe. He's a man in his 20s and looks pale and skinny about 5 '10 ft tall and he used to work at Arnazald, he was reported to be a runaway for being in too much debt, but in truth he's actually dead"
Chizuru got startled and asked
"I see…How much time are you willing to give me?"
"A day if possible. By the way, How much have you saved up so far?"
"If I add up all my savings so far, I have about 2,4 million yen (16,392$)"
I surprised and asked
"2 million, huh…we don't need that much"
"Well you did said to save up a lot of money"
"True, I did said that but how do you saved up so much"
She lift up her thumb and said with a proud face
"Well, since you asked, I make about 366000 a month!"
"WHAT!? You earn that much"
"Well yeah, it is a big company after all so…"
"Just…nevermind, anyways just research about him and I will send you some clues later on"
After school was over, I waited for Kumi at the school gate, since she was having a club meeting. While waiting, I caught a glance of someone who I thought looked rather familiar but Kumi arrived so I didn't give any thought into it.
On our way back home we were stopped by a bunch of hoodlums, they walked up closer and closer to us, and one of the bunch pushed me down. As they all ganged up on Kumi, everything in my point of view went blank.
I woke up to see myself in bed at home, my body was filled with pain beyond belief, and I felt like I was about to die. Kumi was sitting beside my hand, the moment she saw me, she look terrified and asked
"Are you okay!? Is your head better now!? you don't need to get up, you can just rest and recover! I'll go get you a glass of water."
When she got back, I asked Kumi what happened
"You don't remember what happened!? Daiki you just beat all those men, almost to death…"
