Chapter 52: Boyfriend (1/2)

After only resting at home for two days, the three had to go back to school.

According to Maeda, there were already many people who knew about the Tokyo Ripper incident. The police in Tokyo confirmed the death of the ripper, intentionally or unintentionally, the news leaked out reassuring many people.

Nobody knew that Masashi was the main victim of the case. After several days of absenteeism, they made a false reason for temporarily going back to visit their relatives.

Just like his return from the “dead” before, Masashi was still a transparent person in the class. Because of the theft that happened in the past made the students unwilling to talk to him. In contrast, he didn’t have anything to say to this little kids. If there was a generation gap between middle-aged men and teenagers, Masashi and them have a Mariana trench that exists between them. Therefore, he was happy to be alone, reading books or sleeping in class, brazenly skipping class when bored. In the eyes of the students and teachers, this degree of arrogance is detestable, but in the end, they weren’t able to do anything.

A soft music echoed in the café when suddenly a “ding” sound can be heard, the bell that was stuck on top of the door’s frame with the door opening also sounded.

“Hello, welcome. For how many people?”

“I have an appointment with some people, I’ll just look around.”

“Make yourself at home, if you need anything please feel free to call me.”

“Thank you.”

Masashi looked around, and saw Aiko standing up and waving her hand fiercely, sitting right next to her were three girls.

“You’re late,” Aiko said discontentedly.

“Little devil you need to be more reasonable, calling me to get here in five minutes? You think I’m like those guys who like to fly around wearing panties all day.” Masashi and the three other girls nodded. He remembered that he met her classmates at Aiko’s place. Which also included the girl named Ai.

“Hello, Gennai-san.” After the other two girls greeted Masashi, Ai greeted him timidly.

“Little Ai, do you know this guy very well?” Aiko found it a little odd and asked.

“No, just came across her once in the streets. Well, did something happen?” seeing that Ai was somewhat hesitant, Masashi instead answered.

“Can’t I find you for no reasons? Order something first.” Aiko smiled very sweetly.

Masashi waved his hand and called the waitress over.

“Hello, do you want anything?” The waitress politely asked.

“A cup of cappuccino.”

“Yes, I’m sorry, could you repeat that?” the waitress reddened all over her face.

Masashi smiled, “You must be new here, right? Cappuccino, I’ll have a cappuccino coffee.”

“I’m sorry, I’ll show you the menu, please wait.” Drops of sweat could be seen on the waitress’ face as she walked away panicked.

“Well, bumbling guy,” Aiko grinned.

“Is that an attitude of someone asking for help?” Masashi exposed a playful smile.

“Who, who asked for your help?”

“Come on, I don’t believe you’ll go look for me just to catch up. You definitely have something to say.”

Aiko with strange eyes looked at him for a moment, then turned to the three girls next to her and said: “Do you really think this guy can help? He’s also not pleasing to the eye.”

“Aiko, how can you say something like that?” Asami stared at her.

“Well originally, this guy looks somewhat reliable. If not, you wouldn’t….” not finishing her words, her mouth was covered by the other girl.

“I’m sorry, Gennai-san, Aiko didn’t mean that, please don’t misunderstand,” Asami smiled.

Masashi as if he didn’t hear anything, very leisurely sipped his coffee, and then said: “If you still won’t tell me, I’ll go.”
