"Little Sosuke, and this lovely young lady, please come again~"
Outside the shop, the beautiful waitress carefully observed the two of them, then a mysterious satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Kitahara Sosuke took a step back uncomfortably, forcing a smile and saying, "Sanae, bye-bye..."
Having said that, he hurriedly pulled Kato Megumi away.
"Next time, be sure to try the bread I made myself, okay~"
The waitress seemed to have remembered something and happily said to Sosuke.
"O-okay..."
Kitahara Sosuke wanted to refuse but inexplicably couldn't bring himself to say the words, so he stammered out an agreement.
Inside the shop, Tomoya Aki and the others seemed to be arguing fiercely about something, but after Kitahara Sosuke glanced in that direction, he lost interest and turned his head away. Just like he said, he wasn't interested in other people's youthful love stories at all.
He had clearly been looking very impatient in the shop just now, but now he was walking unhurriedly side by side with Kato Megumi, chatting casually along the way.
"Kitahara, do you really dislike Aki-kun?"
Kato suddenly asked Sosuke this question that she was very curious about.
"Yeah, I really dislike him. Among the people I've personally met so far, he's the second most disliked."
Kitahara Sosuke gave his answer instantly without the slightest concealment.
The person Sosuke disliked the most was Hayato-kun, someone who made him want to physically eliminate him without even thinking or hesitating. After all, Tomoya Aki couldn't compare to Hayato-kun. Otherwise, Sosuke would have already set a trap for Tomoya and sent him to accompany the very mature Hayato-kun. Such a method wasn't difficult for him.
In addition, the perverts on the train didn't disgust him much because they were unfamiliar, and Sosuke had quite enjoyed beating them up at the time, venting his anger, so they didn't disgust him much.
Hearing Kitahara Sosuke's answer, Kato slowly stopped, nodded slightly, and lowered her eyes. She twirled her bangs with two fingers, revealing a somewhat embarrassed look.
"I'm sorry for making you chat with someone you don't like."
She didn't ask Sosuke the reason for disliking Tomoya, but directly expressed her apology softly.
"Don't say that... but if he comes to bother you again in the future, be sure to come find me again."
Kitahara Sosuke said this. Since Kato didn't ask, he didn't want to discuss that guy Tomoya Aki in front of this girl either.
Kato Megumi didn't respond to Sosuke's words but raised her head and stared intently at Sosuke, a worried expression appearing on her face at some point.
"By the way, Kitahara, is your body alright? Are you hurt?"
Her words stunned Kitahara Sosuke, who didn't quite react.
"Why would I be hurt? I didn't actually fight Tomoya Aki..."
The only out-of-line action in the shop just now was that after Tomoya Aki played dumb, he couldn't help but yank him forcefully, but he immediately restrained his anger and let go of him. And how could mere Tomoya hurt him?
Kato looked at Sosuke's bewildered expression and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This, this."
Her lips pouted ever so slightly, to the point where ordinary people wouldn't notice at all. Kato leaned forward and held her phone up to a height where it was easy for Kitahara Sosuke to see.
Her somewhat clumsy cuteness made Sosuke's eyes widen slightly.
"Uh..."
After seeing Kato's slightly displeased expression, he finally shifted his attention to the phone screen. After taking a look, Sosuke couldn't help but pick up Megumi's phone and flip through it page by page.
A popular post on a certain forum showed a tall young man seemingly chasing after and hitting several adults.
Initially, the comments below the article were all keyboard warriors denouncing Kitahara Sosuke for bullying others with his physique. Some of the words were quite harsh, since there was no responsibility for online speech. But later, someone who seemed to be at the scene revealed the truth and posted photos of the policewoman arriving. Only then did everyone realize that Kitahara Sosuke was actually helping the detective subdue a pervert. So the public opinion below took another turn. Gone was the indignant denunciation, and everyone started praising the young man in the photos.
"Ah... these guys, they were all silent on the train, but the speed of this kind of thing is so fast!"
Kitahara Sosuke felt a bit annoyed seeing this post. He didn't want to become famous. Although black bars were placed over the faces of several people, anyone familiar with them could recognize the identities of the people involved at a glance.
In daily life, people as tall as or taller than Kitahara Sosuke weren't non existent, but... The rugged lines of his body were full of masculine aura, making him look like he had walked straight out of a Hong Kong comic or a Dragon Ball scene. He stood out like a sore thumb compared to the ordinary people around him.
For example, Kato, who had a phone addiction, immediately recognized his identity.
"Kitahara-kun always likes to act so recklessly. What if something unexpected happens? Don't be so stubborn."
Kato Megumi subconsciously straightened up a little, trying to appear taller and more imposing, then lectured Sosuke like a grandmother.
Kitahara Sosuke smiled, listening to Kato's nonsense, feeling his heart soften.
Kato was still talking to herself. She hadn't actually paid much attention to Tomoya Aki's affairs in the coffee shop because she was too shocked by what Sosuke had silently done. Seeing Sosuke's face with a black bar over it, Kato, who didn't believe that the junior would bully others for no reason, tried hard to argue with the keyboard warriors on her phone. However, the sharp words of the keyboard warriors made the lonely and helpless Kato very unhappy. It wasn't until the truth was revealed by a bystander that she could finally feel vindicated. The incident proved that Kato's trust was not misplaced. Sosuke had not bullied the passengers on the train without reason.
"Kitahara, if your aunt and uncle in Europe knew about this, they would also be worried, wouldn't they?"
"They wouldn't worry about this kind of thing. They'd only worry about me not being able to find a wife in the future..."
Thinking of the days after graduation when he was being pressured to get married, Sosuke raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but mutter softly.
"What?"
Kato vaguely didn't hear what the other person said and asked curiously.
Just as he was about to speak, the streetlights on both sides cast a faint light. In just an instant, even the air seemed to cool down a bit. The dim light clearly told the two of them the current time.
"Let me walk you home, Kato."
Not continuing to answer Megumi's question, Sosuke took a deep breath and then exhaled it from his chest. Although he had been lectured, he was in a very good mood because it was his wife's concern. He had completely thrown the matter of Tomoya Aki to the back of his mind.
"..."
Helpless with Sosuke's inattentive attitude, Kato had no choice but to give up persuading him, a faint, helpless smile appearing on her face as she slowly nodded.
