On Saturday, Tsushima Kagami held the sealed portfolio containing the complete manuscript in his hand. He looked at the subway train that had just arrived and the humanoid Gundam that had been smashed apart in front of him. Staff members and paramedics, who had arrived immediately, were gradually putting up a long curtain.
Due to the temporary suspension of the subway caused by the accident, Tsushima Kagami walked out of the subway station helplessly.
Since Yukinoshita Shizuku had to work part-time during the day, Tsushima Kagami was out alone.
He had originally agreed to meet Sayuri and the others at Shinjuku-sanchome Station to submit the manuscript to COMIC Kairakuten, but now he feared he would be late.
Standing at the exit of the subway station, Tsushima Kagami pondered whether to transfer to another subway line or take a bus. In any case, he definitely couldn't afford a taxi.
Just then, the roar of an engine reached his ears, getting closer and closer.
Tokyo people really have no morals, revving their engines on the streets in broad daylight. With this quality of character, they still mock Osaka people for being low-class?
Tsushima Kagami looked up in the direction of the sound. Before him was a figure in a tight black leather outfit, wearing a black helmet, driving a Yamaha YZF-R1 with an enviable waistline.
"Hey! Kagami, what are you doing standing there in a daze all by yourself?"
Tsushima Kagami found the voice coming from inside the helmet familiar, but couldn't quite place it, so he just stared straight at the other person without saying a word.
The rider was also stunned for a moment, then took off the helmet. A cascade of jet-black hair poured down like a waterfall as the helmet was removed.
Ah, so it's Hiratsuka Shizuka. It's not that Tokyo people have no manners, it's that Chiba people have no manners. But then again, they are all Kanto people.
Kanto people just have no manners, yet they still mock Kansai people for being low-class!
"Hey, why are you still dazing out?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand in front of Tsushima Kagami's face.
Recovering his senses, Tsushima Kagami smiled and said, "Nothing, I just think your outfit looks incredibly cool!"
After speaking, Tsushima Kagami gave a thumbs up.
Hearing Tsushima Kagami say this, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled proudly. "Right? I like to come out for a ride like this when I'm off duty."
"By the way, Kagami, what are you doing standing here?"
"Because the subway is suspended due to a sudden accident, I was wondering if I should go to another station to transfer."
"Where are you planning to go?"
"To Shinjuku Ward, Shinjuku-sanchome Station. I agreed to meet friends there."
"Hey, I'll just give you a ride there."
After speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka patted the pillion seat of her motorcycle.
"This... This is a single-seater motorcycle, right? It can't fit two people at all."
"Just squeeze a bit and it'll be fine. You're so thin anyway."
Before Tsushima Kagami could agree or disagree, Hiratsuka Shizuka jammed her helmet onto Tsushima Kagami's head.
Smelling the lingering scent of what seemed to be shampoo inside, Tsushima Kagami came back to his senses. "Aren't you going to wear a helmet?"
"I don't have another helmet."
"Isn't that a violation?"
"Ahahahaha, ma~ ma~, it's fine. It's just a short distance, we'll be there in no time."
An extremely ominous premonition prompted Tsushima Kagami to ask again, "Little Shizuka..."
"Aiya, why did you suddenly add 'Little' in front of people's names?"
"Ah, sorry, Shizuka."
"I didn't tell you to change it back either."
Looking at Hiratsuka, who was usually carefree but now suddenly acting a bit shy and coy, Tsushima Kagami felt like he had unlocked another scene CG today.
"No, that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to ask, Little Shizuka, do you have a motorcycle license?"
Although in Japan one can take the test for a two-wheeled motorized vehicle license at 16, Tsushima Kagami remembered that it was divided into ordinary and heavy types. The heavy type required one to be 18 to take the test, and he didn't know if this type of motorcycle counted as heavy.
"Relax, relax, of course I have one."
"Don't be a mother hen, hurry up and get on."
"Oh, oh."
Urged by Hiratsuka Shizuka, Tsushima Kagami sat on the rider's seat just like that.
"Why are you sitting so far away? I've made as much space as possible for you. Get closer, or you'll fall off later."
"Oh, oh."
Tsushima Kagami scooted forward a bit more.
"Closer."
"Oh, oh."
"You need to hold me tight with your hands."
Tsushima Kagami hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arms around Hiratsuka Shizuka's slender waist.
"Is this okay?"
"You'll fly off like this. Hold tighter, press against my back."
"Oh, oh."
"More... Eh? Something is poking me. Do you have something in your trouser pocket?"
"It's a mobile phone. I have a mobile phone in my trouser pocket."
On this day, Tsushima Kagami came to possess a mobile phone that did not actually exist.
"Then remember to give me the number later."
"Now, you better sit tight for me!"
After speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped on the gear shift and twisted the throttle handle. The motorcycle instantly let out a roar, spewing exhaust fumes continuously.
With Hiratsuka Shizuka's shout of "Departure!", Tsushima Kagami felt a strong force pushing him back, plastering him firmly against Hiratsuka Shizuka's back.
Accompanied by the roar and exhaust, the two quickly disappeared from the platform side.
Meanwhile, a passing patrol car slowly drove out from a side road.
"Miyuki, have you decided what to eat after work?"
"Hmm... I think the sashimi at that izakaya from yesterday was pretty good."
"Eh, sashimi again?"
Tsujimoto Natsumi complained while yawning.
"Bunkyo PS calling Mini Patrol Car 4."
"Bunkyo PS calling Mini Patrol Car 4."
Looking at the radio that suddenly sounded in the car, Kobayakawa Miyuki picked up the receiver.
"This is Mini Patrol Car 4."
"At Korakuen Station in Bunkyo Ward, a motor vehicle, model Yamaha YZF-R1, license plate Tokyo 51 16-21, is carrying a passenger illegally, speeding, and the driver is not wearing a helmet. Please intercept."
"Roger, heading to intercept immediately!"
Kobayakawa Miyuki disconnected the radio and looked at Tsujimoto Natsumi, who was driving next to her.
"Natsumi, we've got work."
"It's this guy again. She's escaped several times, but this time I will definitely catch her with my own hands!"
Tsujimoto Natsumi waved her fist while taking out the magnetic flashing light from inside the car.
She then climbed out of the car window and attached it to the roof.
Returning inside the car, she fastened her seatbelt and smiled at Kobayakawa Miyuki.
Accompanied by the blaring siren, Tsujimoto Natsumi slammed on the accelerator: "Ikuzo!"
At this moment, Tsushima Kagami was clinging tightly to Hiratsuka Shizuka's waist: "Isn't this a bit too fast?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka revealed a ferocious yet disdainful smile: "We haven't even started yet. I'm already taking good care of you, Kagami."
"Is... is that so? Then thank you very much."
Just then, Tsushima Kagami faintly heard the sound of sirens behind them. He turned his head curiously to look back, then turned back to press against Hiratsuka Shizuka's body, shouting loudly: "That police car isn't coming to chase us, right?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka also saw the police car chasing them in the rearview mirror.
Then she smiled contemptuously: "Here they come again? How annoying."
"Kagami, hold me tight, and don't let go!"
Before Tsushima Kagami could reply, he felt an even stronger force pushing him back. His ears were filled only with the sound of the rushing wind, and he couldn't hear anything Hiratsuka Shizuka said afterwards.
The motorcycle carried the two of them from the main road into a small path, and then continued to weave through the alleys of the residential area.
