Tokyo: Starting with the Gear-Conscious Male Gods!

Chapter 45 sounds pretty good, but I refuse!

Yuta Shirakawa narrowed his eyes and nudged Takeshi Kurosaki beside him with his elbow.

When they came out, they had already told Kurosaki Takeshi what had happened in the arcade not long ago.

Following the direction indicated by Yuta Shirakawa, Takeshi Kurosaki immediately realized who the other person was.

"Yes……"

Just as she was about to exclaim in surprise, Shirakawa Yuta shook his head, interrupting her.

But that little noise still caught the attention of the two girls next to him.

Masako Takahashi turned her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yuta Shirakawa spoke up first, "It's okay, Tsuyoshi just left something at the arcade. We'll go back and get it."

"What is that?"

Masako Takahashi then turned her gaze to Takeshi Kurosaki. Yuta Shirakawa nudged the somewhat bewildered Kurosaki with his elbow, and only then did the other man come to his senses.

"Oh? Oh, I think I left my house keys there."

"Yes, Gangzhi lost his keys there. I'll go back with him to look for them. You guys go ahead!"

"Ah, why don't we go with you? The four of us searching together will be faster."

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Yuta quickly waved his hand, refusing, "No need, no need, we can go ourselves. It's getting late, and your family will worry if we're any later. See you tomorrow!"

After saying that, without waiting for Masako Takahashi's reply, he grabbed Takeshi Kurosaki and ran in the direction the chubby boy had left.

Masako Takahashi looked at Tsukizo Hoshino with some confusion: "Are they in such a hurry? And isn't the arcade on the other side?"

Hoshino Tsukizuru watched the two figures disappear into the distance and smiled meaningfully: "Perhaps they have more important things to do."

……

By the time Shirakawa Yuta and Kurosaki Takeshi returned home after putting the sack on the chubby boy, it was already dark again.

As Shirakawa Yuta opened the door, he was still savoring the visceral feeling of the punches he had just received. It was even more satisfying than stomping noobs in a video game; no wonder some people practice boxing and karate.

Of course, they didn't beat the chubby guy too badly; he just punched the other guy a few times and Kurosaki Takeshi kicked him once.

As for whether it's illegal or not, let's wait until we catch him first.

They made their move in a notorious black street nearby, where delinquents always fought. There were hardly any security cameras or even a shadowy figure there.

They only attacked from behind after seeing the chubby boy walk to that spot.

Upon entering, he saw Chiba Sena sitting at the dining table, waving at him.

"Onii-san, you're back?"

not good!

Yuta Shirakawa suddenly sensed a wave of malice washing over him. Ignoring the other person's somewhat ingratiating smile, he asked directly, "What do you want?"

Hearing the other person's cold tone, Chiba Hoshina couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, but remembering that she would need to ask him for a favor later, she could only pretend nothing had happened and continue to smile ingratiatingly:

"I'm fine, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

Looking at the other person's forced calm expression, and remembering that it was Thursday, Shirakawa Yuta seemed to know what it was about.

Are you going to a performance tomorrow?

Chiba Sena nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's right."

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Yuta finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted his chest, speaking in a tone that said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be there tomorrow night!"

Upon hearing this, Chiba Sena finally couldn't help but roll her eyes. If it was to get the other person to go, how could she possibly be so humble!

What she really wanted was for the other person not to go!

So she said, "Do you have something else planned for tomorrow?"

"I didn't..." Shirakawa Yuta instinctively wanted to answer directly, but halfway through his sentence, he realized the meaning behind the other person's words.

He stopped putting his schoolbag down and looked at Chiba Sena with a half-smile, saying, "Oh~ so you don't want me to go."

Chiba Sena blinked her beautiful big eyes and nodded vigorously:

"Yes, Dad has already gone back anyway, and he doesn't know whether you went or not. If he really asks you, just say you went."

"It's good that you can do something else or rest tomorrow night. After all, you must be tired after a week of school, right?"

Yuta Shirakawa suppressed a laugh, pretending to think seriously, and pinched his chin, drawing out his words earnestly: "Well, this does sound pretty good~"

Chiba Sena's eyes lit up even more instantly. It was just a small experiment for her, and she didn't expect the other party to actually agree!

"Right, right? I'm doing this all for your own good, I don't want you to be so tired."

"But,"

The tone shifted abruptly, and a wicked smile finally appeared on Shirakawa Yuta's face: "I refuse!"

"you!"

Chiba Sena, who was secretly pleased just a moment ago, froze for a second after hearing these words.

After realizing what had happened, a surge of embarrassment and anger at being tricked instantly welled up inside her.

Chiba Sena was so angry that she stood up abruptly from her chair, her slippers scraping the floor with a series of loud noises. She stood in front of Shirakawa Yuta, glaring at him and saying angrily:

"Shirakawa Yuta! You're still a bastard after all!"

After saying that, she turned and ran quickly back to her room.

"Bang—"

Seeing the other person forcefully slam the door shut, Shirakawa Yuta finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He leaned against the doorway, his shoulders shaking, and his unrestrained laughter echoed through the walls, clearly reaching the next room.

Chiba Sena lay on the bed, listening to the unrestrained laughter coming from outside. Enraged, she picked up a nearby doll and punched it several times, muttering repeatedly, "Bastard, bastard, what a bastard!"

The next morning, after Shirakawa Yuta got up, he happened to run into Chiba Sena, who had just finished washing up and was getting ready to go to school.

The other person's face was full of resentment, clearly indicating that they had not yet forgiven Shirakawa Yuta for his excessive behavior yesterday.

She ignored even when Yuta Shirakawa greeted her with a smile.

Only when everything was packed and they were ready to leave did she turn around with a cold face and say to Shirakawa Yuta:

"I've already sent you the address for tonight's show. We'll be taking the JR Chuo Line at 3:45 PM. You can take the next one. If we run into each other at the venue, you should pretend we don't know each other."

Yuta Shirakawa raised an eyebrow, asking with some curiosity, "Why? I'm not ugly, am I just trying to embarrass you like this?"

"Hmph, narcissistic."

Chiba Sena rolled her eyes at him, but still explained, "Nobody else knows about us. It would be embarrassing for me if you followed me around like this."

Yuta Shirakawa smiled after hearing what the other person said. "So that's how it is. No wonder they didn't want him to go last night."

However, Shirakawa Yuta did not refuse. He had already provoked the other party so much last night, and if he refused this request again tonight, the other party would probably really get angry.

Moreover, he had other things to do in the afternoon.

We agreed to let Nao Uemura do a test draft first, so we should give her the storyboards now.
