"Brother Hachisuka!"
Hayato was exasperated. Although he wanted to teach these girls a lesson, he couldn't exactly gang up on them—meaning, he alone ganging up on a group of them. What was even more frustrating was that when they got excited, they even exclaimed, "Wow, what a fierce gaze, so handsome~ ~ fiercely milk me~ ~" when they saw Gaze of the Strong lv.4.
Hearing the voice of that bastard Hachisuka Hidemichi, Hayato actually felt as if he had found a lifeline…
Looking from afar, Hachisuka Hidemichi's orange hair was so trendy, and that horse-like face was so familiar.
The girls also heard Hachisuka Hidemichi's voice, and thinking that a handsome guy's friend might also be handsome, they temporarily gave up on their deep conversations with Hayato and turned to look behind them.
Then,
"Ugh," they made sounds of disdain.
The difference in appearance between this orange-haired man and the young man, one could not say it was evenly matched; it was a world of difference.
One was solemn and dignified, the other was a disaster.
And his attire… … a beach shirt, a large gold chain, orange hair, earrings, and flip-flops, highlighting a "I'm not a good person" vibe.
"Hahahaha," Hachisuka Hidemichi laughed, "I didn't expect Brother Kobayashi to be so popular in Yaso Inaba too. Ladies, please don't make things difficult for my brother. How about I play with you all instead?"
With Kurashiki Reina nearby, the reason Hachisuka Hidemichi dared to say this was that afterward, he could claim he was helping Hayato out of a difficult situation. Given Reina's personality, she certainly wouldn't fuss too much.
As for these 'chickens,' although none were exceptionally beautiful, there were a few good-looking ones. If he could actually get a date, it would quench his thirst.
Then Hachisuka Hidemichi got his wish.
He was referring not to "getting a date," but to helping Hayato out of a predicament.
As soon as he finished speaking,
The female students looked at each other, then some held hands, and some whispered.
"Let's go, let's go…"
"Hurry home."
"We have an exam tomorrow… …"
The lively circle around Hayato suddenly became quiet.
The summer breeze in the evening blew, carrying a hint of desolation.
"… …"
Hachisuka Hidemichi was awkward, but Hayato once again showed his true feelings:
"Thank you, Brother Hachisuka."
You damn chickens! I'll screw you all! Damn, damn, damn! How am I inferior to this pretty boy!
Hachisuka Hidemichi yelled internally in embarrassment, but on the surface, he could only nonchalantly brush back his sparse bangs.
"Heh, no need to thank me, I'm happy to help." QAQ
Hayato smiled, "As expected, Brother Hachisuka, your influence is truly effective."
A double entendre.
Hachisuka Hidemichi couldn't figure out if this kid was implying something about his face.
"By the way, Brother Hachisuka, where did you go?" Hayato asked casually.
He had thought he would see Hachisuka Hidemichi as soon as he got to the playground, but he didn't expect Mr. Hayashi to have disappeared for such a long time.
"According to what Brother Kobayashi said, I've already thoroughly taught those two ignorant things a lesson," Hachisuka Hidemichi said.
"Oh? Brother Hachisuka is indeed Brother Hachisuka. Do you have people in Yaso Inaba too?" Hayato was surprised.
Hachisuka Hidemichi chuckled, "With money, you can have people anywhere. Isn't hiring people to fight a piece of cake for me, your old brother?"
His words were also a subtle warning to Hayato.
Don't you, kid, think that I can't do anything to you just because I'm out of Tokyo. As the saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, and when you go out, you rely on the money your parents gave you. A rich man is a master wherever he goes.
Hachisuka Hidemichi didn't know if Hayato's intelligence would grasp this hint. He only saw the latter nod, then sincerely praise:
"As expected of Brother Hachisuka, far-sighted. It's just… "
"Just?"
"After all, they are hired people. If you don't supervise them, they can easily slack off. I suggest you ask them to film a video."
"That's something I hadn't thought of," Hachisuka Hidemichi said, then pulled out his phone and started sending messages.
Hayato was worried that Hachisuka Hidemichi would be lenient. He knew that Fengshi and The male deer seemed like two different groups but were actually one, which was why he came up with a plan.
However, for Hachisuka Hidemichi, whether it was The male deer or Tamura, they were just pawns for entertainment, easily discarded and not taken seriously. It was just that the people he hired might be used more than once, so it was necessary to rein them in.
"Show me the video when you get it too," Hayato said somewhat shyly. "Brother Hachisuka, you know, I've never seen what a group beating looks like since I was little, so I want to experience it."
"No problem, no problem."
Hachisuka Hidemichi was so delighted that he just patted Hayato's shoulder.
You'll see it eventually. Hachisuka Hidemichi's lips curved into a cruel angle.
He had indeed never seen a group beating. Since coming to this world, it had usually been one-sided "slaughter," Hayato thought calmly.
The two stood side by side, seemingly working together, but in reality, they were at odds.
"… …Stop."
At the working end, the plump Photographer raised his hand and said, "Let's take another break. I need to adjust something first."
"Still resting?"
Hachisuka Hidemichi raised his eyebrows and walked towards the playground.
Hayato also looked into the distance.
It was now that time of evening when twilight is beautiful, but night is approaching.
The afterglow of the sunset was already fading, so much so that describing it as the "half" in "like a pipa half-hidden" wouldn't be entirely accurate.
X Magazine must have a plan for shooting here.
Coming at this time after school was probably for shooting the sunset scene, but now it was almost night, so why hadn't they finished work yet?
"Hey! Haven't you finished shooting yet!"
Hachisuka Hidemichi roared at the Photographer.
The Photographer's fleshy face immediately trembled a few times in fright.
"Te-technical malfunction, currently adjusting," the Photographer explained sheepishly.
"The sun's already set, and it's still malfunctioning? What the hell are you still shooting!" Hachisuka Hidemichi continued to curse, "Didn't you say you were going to shoot twilight scenes?"
"But…" The Photographer still wanted to say something.
"Alright, Hayashi Hidemichi." Kurashiki Reina's tone, though cold, was ultimately helping the Photographer out of a bind: "You don't understand photography, don't blame him. There are still about twenty minutes until the sun completely sets. I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush yet."
Only after hearing Kurashiki Reina's words did Hachisuka Hidemichi suppress his anger and adopt the posture of a good boyfriend who listens to his girlfriend.
The Photographer then breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"What's going on?" Hayato came over and asked.
He also handed a cola to Kobayashi Ayaka.
"You didn't sneak a drink, did you?"
"No," Hayato said helplessly.
"Heh, I don't believe you," Kobayashi Ayaka took it.
She weighed it in her hand, almost becoming more agitated than Hachisuka Hidemichi.
He really didn't drink it! Bastard! Ayaka thought to herself.
"Please do not approach the shooting area."
The Photographer said to Hayato with some annoyance.
He had no say in front of either Kurashiki Reina or Hachisuka Hidemichi, so he only dared to confront Hayato.
He was even aggrieved because when he saw Hachisuka Hidemichi's cordial interaction with Hayato just now, he didn't dare to speak too harshly when he was arguing with Hayato.
Among the few people here, Kurashiki Reina would not speak up for Hayato.
Although Kobayashi Ayaka had the personality of a big sister, she was, after all, a "newcomer" to the job, so Hayato didn't want to trouble her.
So,
"Brother Hachisuka?" Hayato looked at Hachisuka Hidemichi with a weak gaze.
Hachisuka Hidemichi's blood immediately surged, and the anger he had just suppressed poured out all at once again:
"You damn it! My Brother Kobayashi can be wherever he wants! It's not your place to speak! Who do you think you are!?"
"I-I'm sorry!" The Photographer immediately bowed, apologizing solemnly to Hayato.
Looking at the Photographer's subservient manner, Hachisuka Hidemichi scratched the back of his head, feeling that something was off.
Then he slapped his thigh.
Damn it! He fell for the honey trap!
