Chapter 395 - KICKING AKIRA (2/2)

”Who are you?” He asked.

In the past, Hanae would have thrown a temper tantrum and acted spoiled and cute after that obvious mocking statement. However, she was no longer that child. Besides, that tactic was unlikely to work against someone with a sharp personality like Kaito.

”It is not strange that you do not remember me. We met under rather unusual circumstances some time ago. I lost my mind in Saffron Garden on that day. It was a rather unsightly incident.” Hanae spoke self-deprecatingly.

She had already chosen the best strategy to deal with that embarrassing incident. She would not hide it. Instead, she wanted to portray herself as a person who had faced and overcome mental problems. Her next step, when the matter inevitably blew up online, was to develop a website for promoting mental wellness.

It was the perfect way to make both herself and her music popular.

”Oh, you are that crazy girl,” Kaito responded offhandedly.

Hanae did not expect that response. She did not think that the man would be so callous. At the very least, she thought he would be a little kinder and more tactful. Then, she would have a moment to clear up the misunderstanding about her condition.

”Mental health is not a joke.” She raised her voice, almost reverting to her original spoilt self.

She was even about to stomp her foot angrily. Unfortunately, Kaito's attention was already lost. He did not have any intention of talking further with the annoying girl. Moreover, he had discovered Akira walking towards him.

”What are you doing?” Akira asked.

It was uncertain to whom she directed the question. Kaito wore his carefree smile while Hanae showed some awkwardness.

”I was just showing Mr Takahashi to the barbeque site.” She explained.

She did not use her 'do not misunderstand' voice, but her appearance showed that she wanted Akira to have other thoughts. Akira stepped closer to Hanae, causing the girl to step back.

”You can continue harbouring intentions towards all the things belonging to the Yamazaki family. Take them if you can. I do not care. But if you try your petty tricks on my person, I will deal with you the old-fashioned way. And once I am done, you will no longer know the meaning of sunrise and sunset. Understood?” Akira's voice had a chilling effect.

Hanae wanted to fight for her right to pursue Kaito. She wanted to infuriate Akira by shaming her for her possessive behaviour. However, she seemed to have lost her ability to speak. She could tell that Akira was not making empty threats.

She took another step back.

Akira did not plan on intimidating her shameless cousin too much. Her lips stretched into a mocking smile.

”I ȧssume we understand one another. Go on ahead. Enjoy the barbeque.” She shooed her away.

Hanae felt like she had received amnesty as she walked away. She tried to maintain her dignity as she left, but she was filled with shame and humiliation.
