Kurashiki's Mother Called
Hayato smiled very innocently and purely.
Hachisuka Hidemichi, however, deeply regretted it.
Damn it, he fell for it.
His goal was to embarrass Hayato, but he had already helped him out of trouble several times.
The incident with Oshika Masaru was, in fact, his fault to begin with; his actions were improper and certainly should not be known to Kurashiki Reina.
But this time, he could have been a clear bystander.
His 'big brother' addiction had kicked in.
As soon as he heard someone call him "Brother Hachisuka," he couldn't help himself.
Be careful, not this time.
Hachisuka Hidemichi sternly warned himself.
"What's wrong?"
Hayato reined in his smile and turned to ask Kobayashi Ayaka.
"I don't know."
Kobayashi Ayaka said coldly.
Hayato glanced at her, "Wipe it, it's all drooling."
"What?" Kobayashi Ayaka was startled; how could he possibly know?
Then, belatedly, she wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
"Oh, I drank too much cola, so it's inevitable that some will secrete out," Kobayashi Ayaka said indifferently.
Why were you smiling so purely just now? When I, your big sister, saw it, didn't you just lose control! Ayaka thought to herself.
"What happened?"
Hayato leaned over to ask the chubby Photographer, who was fiddling with the camera's settings and other things.
He had no time to bother with Hayato.
"...You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
After he spoke, he regretted it a little, wondering if he would be scolded by Hachisuka Hidemichi again.
The Photographer knew that the consequences of angering Hachisuka Hidemichi might be even greater than offending Kurashiki Reina.
If Kurashiki Reina got angry, the most he would lose was his job.
Based on his current understanding of Hachisuka Hidemichi, if this person got angry, he might even lose his life.
He cautiously glanced at Hachisuka Hidemichi.
This time, the latter not only did not reprimand him, but… the Photographer wasn't sure if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Hachisuka Hidemichi gave him a look of approval.
How strange, he really didn't know what these yakuza people were thinking.
"May I take a look?" Hayato asked.
He wasn't someone who liked to meddle, but this was his Ayaka-senpai's work after all, so the sooner they finished, the better.
"...You don't understand anything, don't mess around," the Photographer said tentatively.
He still didn't dare to scold too harshly, fearing he would anger Hachisuka Hidemichi again.
The latter still pretended not to hear.
His gaze had been following Kurashiki Reina's back.
And Miss Reina was on the phone, having walked a bit far away.
Perhaps it was because the novelty had worn off, coupled with the fact that it was indeed getting late, the previously packed sports field had become sparse with people.
However, the first group of people to leave were still those hot JK girls.
And all of this was thanks to Team Bee Arrow (joy).
The Photographer was overjoyed.
He had long wanted to scold the young man standing in front of him, and Hachisuka Hidemichi's current state clearly implied permission. So he quickly opened his mouth:
"So annoying, what the hell do you know! Don't come here and make things worse—do you think we're playing? We're working, now get out of my way!!"
The Photographer had held it in for a long time, and he let out a breath, his face still a bit red with anger.
Hayato rubbed his chin.
He didn't speak for the moment.
The Photographer was a professional after all, and if there was a mistake in his work, it would certainly displease him for an outsider like Hayato to point fingers.
Understood, understood.
As for his unpleasant words—Hayato continued to rub his chin, giving Ayaka-senpai some face, he couldn't hit him in front of her even if he wanted to.
He'd bear with him for now.
"Who do you think you're talking to!?" Kobayashi Ayaka, however, began to retort to the Photographer.
She meant, tolerate? Tolerate my ass!
If Hayato had actually pointed fingers and delayed their work, that would be one thing, but he had only said two sentences so far—why should he be scolded for no reason!?
I haven't even scolded him—oh, wait, I think I have, but it wasn't heartfelt, so it doesn't count.
What kind of thing is this, daring to scold her person!?
"...Ay-Ayaka-san?"
The Photographer hadn't expected Kobayashi Ayaka to help him fight back; he was a bit dumbfounded, and it took him a moment to finally confirm that Kobayashi Ayaka was talking to him.
"Why aren't you fighting back? This isn't like your personality," Kobayashi Ayaka asked, dissatisfied.
If it were before, would he still need her to stand up for him?
"I was afraid of affecting your work," Hayato smiled faintly, pursing his lips.
Thump,
Kobayashi Ayaka's little heart trembled violently, and she quickly averted her face.
Her face was completely flushed.
So gentle! He's really too gentle, I want to sleep with him every day.
But this color only appeared for about two seconds before completely fading.
She turned her head back,
"I don't need you to worry about me."
What kind of work is this?
If a man is not wanted here, he is wanted elsewhere.
Kobayashi Ayaka immediately decided to retire from the modeling industry and take her talents elsewhere!
"Kobayashi,"
Just as Kobayashi Ayaka decided to have a physical friendly exchange with this Photographer, a clear, cold voice called out from behind her.
"Huh?"
Kobayashi Ayaka and Hayato turned their heads at the same time.
It was Kurashiki Reina.
Kobayashi Ayaka felt that it was really strange for Kurashiki Reina to call her "Kobayashi."
"Not Ayaka-senpai, it's you."
Kurashiki Reina pointed at Hayato.
Kobayashi Ayaka nodded...Hmm, isn't this even stranger!?
Does Kurashiki want to help Kobayashi?
Good news is, no.
Bad news is,
Kurashiki Reina handed over her phone and said impatiently, "My mom, she's looking for you."
She said this with a sour face.
Hayato's face also fell when he heard this, "...Ah, oh."
Then,
Kobayashi Ayaka:?
Chubby Photographer:!?
Hachisuka Hidemichi's hand trembled slightly as he held his cigarette.
After handing the phone to Hayato, Kurashiki Reina seemed unwilling to witness the scene, decisively moved several steps away, and even turned her back to him.
Just now, during the break.
Kurashiki Reina's mother, Ms. Reika, called for her routine inquiry.
It was called concern, but written as "surveillance," which always annoyed Kurashiki Reina, especially since her mother had always opposed her coming to Yaso Inaba.
Later, it was only because Ayaka-senpai was accompanying her that she reluctantly agreed.
As for Hayashi Hidemichi being here, Kurashiki Reina didn't even dare to mention it to her mother.
However, in this call, she accidentally let slip that another "Kobayashi" was also here.
So, her mother immediately wanted Hayato to take the call.
Regarding her mother's commanding tone… Kurashiki Reina, who had been with her for nearly eighteen years, knew she couldn't resist.
After biting her lip, she handed the phone to Hayato.
Hayato looked at the phone, first sighing to mentally prepare himself.
Then he spoke: "Hello, is this Ms. Reika?"
"Kobayashi."
Ms. Reika's mature voice was by his ear, with one part joy added to nine parts of authority: "It's been a long time since I contacted you."
