The game was not long as they heard the doorbell ring. Aiko paused the game to answer the door.
“Tired of waiting for you guys to come,” Aiko said.
“This guy walks too slowly.”
“Asami, I waited for you for half an hour in your home.”
“If I knew it was hot outside I wouldn’t have come.”
The four that came in was the same age as Aiko, three girls, and a guy that Masashi encountered in the past when he was eating at the restaurant with Naoko-sensei before, Yusuke Asakura.
“Who is he?” seeing Masashi, a girl whispered to Aiko
Aiko didn’t answer. Yusuke was the first to speak: “You’re Masashi, Masashi Hirota, right?”
“I haven’t seen you in a long time, I’ve changed my name, and I am now Gennai Masashi,” Masashi said disdainfully.
“Oh this,” Yusuke scratched his head a little overwhelmed.
“Aiko are they your schoolmates?” Masashi lent a hand and helped him out.
“I would like to introduce you guys. He is my sister’s former student, called Gennai Masashi, not Hiroto. This is Asami, Ryoko, Ai, Yusuke you knew that was needless to say.
“Hello, my name is Gennai Masashi.”
“Gennai sempai, pleased to meet you.” Several well-educated girl, almost simultaneously greeted him and said hello.
“Pleased to meet you.” Masashi wasn’t too used to the Japanese culture.
“Aiko, since your classmates are here, I’ll take my leave.”
“You stay for a little longer, at least until the game is finished, OK?” Aiko begged.
“Next time don’t play games all day like a kid.”
“Nasty guy.”
“No need to send me off, bye.” Schoolmates of Aiko nodded as Masashi walked towards the door.
“Next time remember to come here,” Aiko said.
“Call me if something happens. Do you know my phone number?” Masashi said as he puts on his shoes.
“Wait, I’ll go get a pen and paper,” Aiko then went to get something.
After waiting for Aiko to get back with a pen and paper, she wrote Masashi’s phone number before she went back.
“Aiko, is he your boyfriend?” Asami excitedly asked Aiko.
Yusuke’s face immediately changed, while nervously looking at Aiko.
“Crazy, I told you he was just my sister’s student.”
“Really? But it seems that your relationship is not that simple,” she added with an odd smile on her.
“It’s not what you think.”
“Aiko, be honest.”
