203 Lawful Tokyo

They had lunch at a "Pepper Cafe," a specialized restaurant where it focused on the peppers. 

While this place had many food selections, Mizuto chose pizza because it was easy to eat and the most popular menu item. 

Sipping her hot coffee gracefully, she sighed in contentment as the lunch was nice before Utaha glanced at Mizuto, who was drinking a craft cola, and asked, "How is it?" 

"Not bad." 

"Can I try?" 

"Should I order you one?" 

"No, no. I can take a sip from you." 

Mizuto looked at Utaha, who saw her mischievous smile again, which made him speechless. "Sure." 

"....." 

Utaha was speechless, but she knew that this guy's nerve was as hard as steel. If it were normal boys, they would be flustered all over, but this guy was as calm as ever. It was like she was inside water. When she tried to push the water away, it would return, changing its shape before enveloping her again. Instead of teasing him, she was the one that teased him. 

Watching his relaxed expression as he watched her, waiting for her to drink from his glass, Utaha snorted and drank his craft cola courageously. 

'Still, it tastes good.' 

So, she continued to drink. 

"Senpai, don't drink all of them!" 

"It tastes good." 

Utaha licked her pink lips, showing her tongue, carefully tasting the sweetness of the cola with such a seductive action. 

Still, it tasted better than she had thought.

Was it because his saliva was there?

Or was it the charm of an indirect kiss? 

However, she finished Mizuto's craft cola. 

"...." Mizuto. 

"Excuse me, can I get more cola?" 

"Yes, please wait for a moment." 

Nevertheless, Mizuto thought of getting more craft cola as this girl had drunk all of his. 

"I have never thought to visit this kind of place before." 

"Really?" Mizuto looked at Utaha and asked, "Then, how did you spend your days?" 

After finishing their meal, they walked out of the market, as Mizuto wanted to go to his next destination. While the market was fun, he had learned everything about it, and as expected, it was fun, and he knew that it wasn't wrong of him to enter the seafood industry. 

Still, before he left, he bought many souvenirs, as it would take him a while to revisit this place. 

As they walked to his car, Utaha told him about how she usually spent her days, which she usually used to write, read, and study while holding his hand.

Probably because they had been holding hands as they walked around the market, it was natural for them to do so. 

Moreover, it might be Utaha's first time enjoying companionship as she had never felt anything like this, considering how she was a loner. The boys were all falling for her, making her annoyed, and the girls were all jealous of her as the boys were all over her.

So, a normal companionship like this was a luxurious experience for her. 

While others tried to treat her like the most special, Mizuto only treated her normally except for treating her, but then again, he told her that it was because she had helped her as her existence made it easier for him to tour around the market. 

Utaha was speechless, but she knew that this was the truth since this guy was so handsome, so handsome that she even saw a woman who had her finger bleeding due to staring at him all the time. 

So, it was also due to this that they were so close to each other, and no matter who saw them, they were like lovers. 

"If you don't bring me here, I will never experience all of this." 

"Then, is it all good?" 

"Yeah." 

The fish market, which Utaha thought was something strange, became a good and unforgettable memory for her. 

"Still, I expect you to ask me to come to Akihabara." 

As a light novel writer, while Mizuto might not be an otaku, he might wish to visit Akihabara, the largest otaku market, as there was no doubt that otaku was the number one source of his sales. 

"Akihabara..." 

Mizuto murmured and realized that when he came to Tokyo, he had never thought of this paradise for otaku. It wasn't until Utaha said so that he only remembered this place existed. 

He couldn't say that he wasn't interested in this industry as it was one of the industries that made this country prosperous. 

However, as this was a creative industry, he felt it was unstable. Moreover, his business philosophy has always been clear: simple and easy. He also liked stability, so instead of an otaku-related industry, he was more into real estate, transportation, or even food. 

"Do you often go there, Senpai?" 

Mizuto asked, wondering whether Utaha often went to Akihabara as this girl asked him such a question. 

"Hmm... as a light novel writer, isn't it normal for me to see the number one buyer of my book?" 

Utaha knew the number one buyer of her book was those otakus. While she couldn't see them in a positive way, she saw them in a neutral way since as long as people were happy with their lives and didn't bother the people in their surroundings, then it was fine. 

Moreover, if possible, she also wanted to make her book into something that made those people feel happy and could enjoy their lives too. 

"You are kind, Senpai." 

"...is that a good guy card?" 

"No, it's just that, unlike you, I don't have much of an interest in Akihabara." 

Except for the land, as he knew, the price of the land on Akihabara was nice, and one could live well if they rented their buildings in this area. 

"Is that so? Then, where do you want to go?" 

"Hmm... I guess I want to go to the department store to buy some souvenirs first." 

"Oh? Which one?" Utaha wondered which department store Mizuto wanted to visit. 

"Seibu Department Stores in Ikebukuro." 

"...." 

Utaha had to say Mizuto's choice of destination had always been random. 

---

Seibu Department Store. 

For those who lived in Ikebukuro, Saitama, and the surroundings, there was no doubt this department store was the most popular one. It had always been packed with people, and many came in and out every day. 

Still, if there was a reason why Mizuto came to this place, it was because he wanted to acquire this department store. 

Yes, while he said he was interested in the seafood industry before, he didn't forget his purpose in acquiring department stores to complete his real estate collections. 

Nevertheless, with this, he had almost completed all the types of real estate in this world. 

Starting from houses, office buildings, warehouses, hotels, convenience stores, theme parks, railroads, restaurants, and department stores. 

Yes, it was true that the department store might not have been as popular in the past, especially with the online shop, but then again, he felt like it might not be bad to acquire one or two brands, and his choice fell into the Sogo & Seibu Co., Ltd.

Still, whenever Mizuto went out, there was no doubt he knew how to make girls happy, and even if his choice had always been random, Utaha also had fun. Moreover, with this crowd, she could hold his hand again. 

'Hehehe...' 

"..." Mizuto. 

"Wait here, I will get that." 

Watching him attract food once again, Utaha was speechless, but as she was a bit tired after walking, she didn't follow him. "Okay, I will wait here." 

"Okay." 

When Mizuto left, Utaha was alone, but her eyes kept staring at Mizuto until she heard a commotion from behind. 

"Stop!" 

"GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!" 

Everyone suddenly panicked, and they quickly moved away. 

Utaha was also attracted, but then she was dumbfounded when she saw a motorcycle moving so fast that it was being chased by police cars. 

"Motorcycle gang..." 

Utaha didn't expect anyone to do this at this age and day, but more importantly, as this gang member was being chased by the police, it suddenly changed its direction into the pedestrian road, and many people fell as they were startled, trying to avoid the motorcycle. 

"HAHAHA, I AM INVINCIBLE!" 

The young man with a delinquent style of hair and uniform was so happy, watching all the people were scared when they watched him. He felt like he was the king of the world, and he rode his motorcycle even faster. 

"STOP! DON'T DO SOMETHING DANGEROUS!" 

The police became even more panicked, yet with how incompetent they were, nothing could be done. 

Still, when the motorcycle moved so fast, it was moving in Utaha's direction! 

Utaha was stunned, frightened, and couldn't move. 

However, the young man didn't care and kept moving fast, ignoring Utaha. Even if Utaha was hit, it didn't matter since he knew that the law couldn't punish him as he was still a minor. Instead, he felt it might not be bad to hit someone as it would make him become more powerful. Moreover, as his head was high, he didn't care about anything! 

"HAHAHA, DIE!" 

When everyone moved away, Utaha couldn't move. Stunned in place, she closed her eyes in fear. "Mizuto—" 

The motorcycle was about to hit her, but suddenly, she was hugged by a strong arm, and the motorcycle was kicked away.
