After the gathering the day before, Fujitsuka Shirina met with the Haitani brothers more often, rarely saw Mikey, and often skipped school, making him feel uncomfortable.
- Shirina-chan, you've been so lost lately? Wouldn't even come with us.
Shirina was carrying her schoolbag and was about to walk out of the school when she turned around, frowning.
- Sano-kun, it has nothing to do with you. Don't think we're that close. Well, you still have Draken-kun and the people from Touman.
This word was like a needle piercing Mikey's heart, throbbing. He froze, and she coldly turned away.
Draken's mood is also not very stable:
-Shirina's temperament is so erratic. I heard that he didn't like dishonesty, thought he was already close to us. Haiz! Mikey, don't stand there.
- Hey, Draken...
- Open ?
- Does Shirina-chan have a boyfriend?
- ? So you think that?
- What? Hurry and follow Shirina-chan.
I'll definitely have to see that guy in person.
♧♧♧
Fujitsuka Shirina found a public restroom to change her clothes. When they came out, Mikey and Draken saw a completely different Shirina. Shirina wore a black hooded hoodie, black ankle-length pants, and a black mask, completely covered.
- Hey, is that the real Shirina?
- Sure then.
- It's so unexpected...
- She's gone, she's gone.
So the two of them followed Fujitsuka Shirina all the way to the Shinjuku area.
- Shinjuku... what did she come here for?
Actually, Shirina didn't know, she was called here. After waiting for a while, two familiar figures finally came.
- Hi, Fujitsuka-san is as tight-lipped as always.
- Yes, I almost forgot your face.
- When you see your face once, you will remember it forever. Isn't it? So, what happened today?
- Fight.
- Huh? Huh? What's wrong with two people fighting?
- Of course it's about me. They said bad things about you, so we decided to avenge you.
- But revenge requires an involved party to be sufficient.
Shirina tilted her head and brushed her outstretched hair, saying:
- Then, you know, you two just found an excuse to fight. So who is that?
- Who knows... Looks like Moebius's. Well, the important thing is that they scolded me all the time. I also feel hurt for you all the time.
- Quit being cheesy. Let's go, don't kill people.
- It's clear.
On the other side, Mikey and Draken looked at each other, seemingly taken aback.
- Mikey, it looks like it's the Haitani brothers of the S62 generation.
- Why is Shirina-chan following those two? What if she was threatened and taken advantage of by them?
Draken looked at that and sighed. Innocent Mikey still cares about Shirina, maybe she also has some dark side that few people know.
♧♧♧
The group pulled together to a dark alley. There was a group of people in uniforms gathered. One of them looked up and said in a fierce voice:
- Hey, what do you mean?
Haitani Ran said nonchalantly:
- Hit you guys.
- Ha? It's a lie. We're Moebius's men. You're fighting against us, you're also challenging Moebius.
Haitani Rindou smirked.
- Heh, Moebius... what kind of nameless g**g is that? Brother, you know?
- Hold on.
This word made the other guys mad, they rushed to beat them. The Haitani brothers, some with bricks, others with batons, killed them in an instant.
- Well, after all, it's just shrimp and shrimp, no hands.
Fujitsuka Shirina folded her arms and pouted.
- You guys aren't kidding me, are you? It's only been a few minutes. Calling me here just for these little things?
- Now, come on, don't get angry or there will be wrinkles. If you want, let's go find Moebius's base.
Shirina suddenly stopped, put her hand in her pocket, her eyes dark.
- Stop it, Moebius... it'll be over soon.
- So what?
- I heard that Moebius is going to fight Touman. See which side won. Bye bye, I'll go find somewhere to rest.
Shirina was just turning her back to walk away when something hit her head hard. Turns out there was a guy trying to get up and die.
- Well, that's dangerous. - Don't know who Ran said this sentence.
Shirina patted her head, her eyes started to sparkle with tears as if she was about to cry:
- Wow, it hurts. Damn it, I'm scared of pain.
She rolled up her sleeves and grabbed the baton and hit the guy repeatedly until it was b****y, making everyone who looked at it couldn't help but panic.
Rindo says:
- Look, it was you who said don't kill people. I don't like the re-education camp either. Right ?
Fujitsuka Shirina stopped, looked at her results, and panicked, clutching her head, throwing the baton, choked and said:
- Shirina knows, but this guy hurt Shirina. Shirina can't control herself.
Ran smiled amusedly.
- Rindou, I like his weird personality. It's interesting to watch its life.
- Looks like someone called the police, let's go. Fujitsuka-san, if you can't hold back, then take the medicine.
The two cousins pulled Shirina's hand away from the shadows.
Of course, this one scene shocked Mikey and Draken. The Shirina they saw today was, how should I put it, crazy, cruel, to put it bluntly, psycho.
Draken looked at Mikey worriedly.
If he knew a completely different Shirina, would Mikey still like her or would he fall apart?
- Mikey-ah...
- Don't look at me like that, Draken. That's still my Shirina-chan. If she has a mental problem, I will find a doctor for her.
Mikey's gaze grew more and more steady, his hands clenched so tightly that they bled.
The next day, Fujitsuka Shirina felt that this world was strange. Mikey is more and more considerate to her to the point of cheesy, so many people looking at her have to gape their eyes.
For example, at this moment, Mikey picked up a chair and sat next to Shirina, holding her hand gently and said:
- Shirina-chan, how are you today? Let me copy it for you. You can rest assured.
Shirina's mouth twitched. The person who normally rarely goes to school now wants to copy the lesson for her, if she doesn't warm her head, she will short circuit.
- Come on, Shirina-chan, why are you frowning like that? Where are you upset? Let's go to the infirmary.
At this point, Shirina was about to bear it, threw a punch to Mikey's face, saying like shouting:
- I'm about to get goosebumps. Get away from me for a bit.
Who knows, he still touched his cheek and smiled innocently:
- Whoa! Today, Shirina-chan's punch is as powerful as ever. But it's going to take a lot of effort to punch like that. I brought cow's milk here, quickly drink it to regain strength.
Mikey held a carton of cow's milk and pressed it close to Shirina's face. She pushed aside her hand and turned to Draken to ask:
- Draken-kun, has he been hit on the head lately? Or is it a new disease?
Draken also did not mention what the two witnessed but only said:
- Mikey was determined to take good care of him the other day. It says it will treat you well for the rest of your life.
Shirina was taken aback and whispered:
- It can't be, if my boyfriend gets jealous later.
Mikey has better hearing than dogs:
- What ? Does Shirina-chan have a boyfriend?
- Stupid ! There is not now but in the future there will certainly be.
Mikey's eyes suddenly lit up.
- No need to wait for the future.
- What ?
Mikey pointed at himself. Shirina still didn't quite understand, tilted her head to look at him.
- Shirina-chan is really... If I'm right here, there's no need to bother looking for a boyfriend. Hey, today will be the anniversary of the first day we fell in love.
At this point, the whole class turned to look at them in awe.
- Oh! It was unexpected to see Mikey confess. Make sure to capture this moment.
- Mikey and Fujitsuka? The couple is so beautiful!
Shirina's face is really black.
Pop!
- Don't dream! You're not on my list.
- Huh, Shirina-chan...
- When you can grow up, independent without Draken-kun, maybe I will think again.
- Sure.
So the first confession failed!
♧♧♧
At dusk, Mikey and Draken invited Fujitsuka Shirina to the Touman g**g meeting.
- But I'm not a Touman member, why go there?
Go, I'll introduce you to everyone.
- Huh? Why ?
- You i***t, you will be protected by Touman.
Shirina was about to say she didn't need protection but still climbed on Mikey's CB250T.
- Here, helmet. You can hug my waist.
- That's okay.
With a flick, Mikey launched the Motor at such a great speed that Shirina almost fell backwards. But she still tried to live and tried to die clinging to the back of the car but refused to hug Mikey's waist.
The gathering place is a temple. Getting off the bus, standing in front of the prying eyes of the Touman members, Fujitsuka Shirina had to find a place to hide for a bit. Seeing Hanagaki Takemichi and Tachibana Hinata, Shirina was overjoyed as if she had caught gold, quickly weaving her way through the crowd to them.
- Hello, are you two here too? - After saying that, Takemichi's face was swollen like a pig's head - Huh?
Hanagaki, did you just get blocked by some thugs? I brought a bandage.
Takemichi said nothing, touching his head with a wry smile. She looked around for a moment and saw something wrong:
- Hey, Hinata, what are you doing with a baseball bat? Playing baseball?
Suddenly Shirina glanced at a girl with pale blond hair and honey eyes. The girl looked at her cautiously for a moment, then stepped forward and took her hand.
- Is it Shirina-san?
- Huh? Um, I'm Shirina. And who are you?
- Great ! I'm Sano Emma. Mikey mentioned her a lot. I always look forward to meeting my sister-in-law.
- Sister-in-law ? Who?
- It's you, Shirina-san. He hasn't said anything yet, but he already knows that he likes you.
Shirina blackened her face, suddenly clenching her hand, causing Emma to ache. Then, who would dare to be her boyfriend in the future?
When Hinata reminded her, Shirina suddenly released her hand and apologized profusely.
At this time Draken loudly gathered everyone. Immediately, the crowd of thousands of people scattered to both sides, neatly arranged. Going in the middle are Mikey, Draken and Hanagaki Takemichi.
Everyone around them folded their arms behind their backs and bowed their heads.
- Hello, Chief!
Mikey's demeanor now surprised Fujitsuka Shirina. Normally he treats her like that, with friends, but when standing in front of Touman, he completely has the qualities of a leader. Not everyone has such a sharp and cold aura.
Mikey said solemnly:
Today's meeting serves two purposes. Firstly, I would like to introduce you to one person. Fujitsuka Shirina.
Everyone looked at Mikey's finger at the same time and saw a girl with a very cute appearance. Shirina was still able to linger in front of everyone's gazes, brushing her hair and turning her face away.
While everyone was wondering, Mikey continued:
- She will be protected by Touman. Touching her is also touching Touman. Okay. The second problem is Moebius. We're going to have a big fight with them. It will be around the time of the Musashi festival. So, let me know what you guys think.
Many people around were whispering and even arguing.
After a while, Mikey asked Pachin:
- What are you going to do? Hit it?
Hayashida Haruki/Pachin knelt down on the ground, hands clenched:
They're two generations older than us. And Touman couldn't just fight because of that. I'm sorry to bother you, but it's bittersweet.
- That's not what I asked. Hit, or not?
Tears were shed:
- Yes ! I want to kill them all!
- Just as I thought. - Mikey turned to ask everyone. - Would you mind if Touman helped Pa's best friend? Did you see that? Where is anyone?
All Touman smiled at the same time, shouting in unison:
- Deal with Moebius!
To tell the truth, Touman's spirit made Shirina greatly admire. It's rare to find a g**g so full of love.
Mikey decided:
- We will fight at the Musashi festival, March 8.
The meeting ended and everyone dispersed. Fujitsuka Shirina in the back of Mikey's car spoke her mind. He laughs:
- Anyone who dares to touch Touman's members will pay the price.
Shirina suddenly asked:
- What will you do if I get hit?
- If anyone dares to touch you, I will definitely punish him.
- Really...
Mikey kept driving in the dark without seeing the person behind the car had a devilish smile.
