349 Ill Intentions

Arriving at Shibuya train station, Akira and Nino walked hand in hand, heading to the predetermined location.

"Remember, don't call me Nee-san."

"Don't worry, I won't make such a low-level mistake, Nino-chan."

"Nino-chan?!"

Nino stopped, looked at him puzzled, then pinched his waist.

"What kind of embarrassing nickname is that? Change it quickly. It's too embarrassing."

"Ehhh... In my opinion, Nino-chan is a suitable nickname."

"Change it, -chan is no longer suitable for me."

At the age of 19, Nino felt embarrassed to be called like that.

"Sigh... Troublesome. How about honey?" After contemplating for a moment, Akira provided an answer.

"No. Honey seems fake. Nowadays, no couples use terms like darling and honey." Nino vetoed.

"Then what should I do..." Akira sighed wearily even before starting.

Sometimes, dealing with women is more troublesome than facing the devil.

Anyway, women are creatures that bleed for a week every month.

"So, what should Nino-Nee be called?"

After suggesting several options, all rejected by Nino, Akira raised his hands, waving the white flag.

"You can't even decide on trivial matters." Nino complained with a jealous expression.

(Wasn't it because you don't like the nicknames I suggested?)

Akira refrained from expressing his thoughts.

"How do you address Takebayashi-san?"

"Hm? Nothing special, I just call her by her first name, Miyako."

"Just that?"

"Yeah, just that."

"Hmmm..."

Nino hummed a long tone, pondering who knows what.

"Then you should also call me by my first name."

"Nani (What)?"

"What, not satisfied?"

"No, no, no. I'm satisfied."

After a lengthy discussion, Akira was helpless against Nino's decision.

"Please give your suggestion, Kira-kun~"

'Um. Me too, Nino.'

Seeing her charming smile, Akira was always amazed at the rapid change in a woman's expression, faster than flipping through a book's pages.

They both arrived at a traditional restaurant.

Adapting to the mentality, Nino led Akira in, then looked for the room where her friends were.

The restaurant had no chairs; instead, customers sat on tatami mats, and food would be served on low tables.

To maintain privacy, each room was separated by plywood, with only a shell curtain as the entrance.

It was easy for Nino to find her friends, and she entered one of the rooms.

"Hi, Emi, Natsumi, been waiting long."

"Nino, you finally came. I thought you wouldn't come."

"Wow, who's the handsome guy next to you? Could he be the younger boyfriend you mentioned? Turns out your type is younger guys."

The two girls' eyes sparkled upon seeing Akira. After all, good-looking men were always welcomed and held a special place in girls' hearts.

Evidence of this was the K-pop fans. Even if the fans knew their idol got their looks through plastic surgery, they would pretend not to know and even deny the fact. For them, their idol's attractiveness was absolute.

Of course, women like these were shallow. However, they represented the majority.

"Hello, my name is Kamikawa Akira. Thanks for being friends with Nino. She might be a bit rough, but she's actually nice. I hope you stay friends with her."

Acting as the good guy, Akira extended his hand and shook hands with the two girls.

"My name is Kuroda Emi. Just call me Emi. Nice to meet you, Kamikawa-kun."

Emi had black ponytailed hair, an ordinary face, but her ample bosom was her advantage.

"Nakamura Natsumi, nice to meet you, Kamikawa-kun. How long have you two been dating?"

"Please ask Nino." Akira answered, shifting the focus to Nino.

Then, he turned his gaze to three guys sitting across from the two girls.

As Nino said, at first glance, they looked like delinquents. Their stares were unfriendly and intimidating.

Nevertheless, Akira didn't immediately label them as bad. After all, appearances could be deceiving. As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover.

Next, he introduced himself to the three guys and learned their names.

Fujita Hiroshi, Aoiki Kenji, and Kimura Yuji.

After the final introduction, they called the waiter, and started ordering food and drinks.

As Akira was underage, he ordered orange juice instead of beer, earning dismissive glances from the three guys.

"Hey, Kamikawa-kun, are you a high school student?" Natsumi asked curiously.

"Yeah. I'm a second-year high school student." Akira lied, falsifying his age.

Actually, he was still a second-year junior high school student. But it would cause a stir if he revealed the truth.

"So Nino really has a younger boyfriend. I thought you lied so we wouldn't tease you." Hiroshi sipped his beer, wearing a disappointed expression for failing to flirt with the girls.

"Stop it, Hiroshi, you're making Nino uncomfortable." Kenji pretended to advise.

"Hey, hey, how far have your relationship gone? Have you done it already?" Yuji smirked suggestively.

"Moo~, that's an impolite question. Why do you guys always think about that?" Emi complained.

"Sorry, it's private. I can't say," Akira said calmly.

"Ahaha... Sorry, sorry, I might be a bit drunk. I asked a sensitive question," Yuji laughed, simultaneously offering an insincere apology.

Akira smiled without saying anything.

As a newcomer, there weren't many topics to discuss with him. He simply observed them chatting about everyday things. Occasionally, he would answer some questions from Emi and Natsumi, who were curious about his relationship with Nino.

Moreover, he paid more attention to the three guys. Even with him present as Nino's "boyfriend," they showed no courtesy and continued to tease Nino with all sorts of vulgar jokes and indecent temptations.

Now, Akira was convinced that the three of them had bad intentions towards Nino. It could be seen from their covert actions, subtly giving signals.

[Universal Sense] also checked Hiroshi, Kenji, and Yuji. Akira found two boxes of condoms and contraceptive pills in their bags.

What left him speechless was finding an unknown pill.

Out of curiosity, he used his phone to google the purpose of the pill. Fortunately, there was an acronym engraved on the pill, making it easy to find information.

Then, Akira learned it was a sleeping pill with a very strong effect. Usually used by insomnia sufferers to help them sleep, and it required a doctor's prescription to purchase.

(Nino's decision to invite me was the right one. Otherwise, I worry she might experience something bad without being able to ask for my help)

Thinking of that possibility, Akira felt a chill in his heart.

Knowing the three guys harbored ill intentions towards his sister, he began contemplating whether to bury them in concrete and sink them into Tokyo Bay as fish food or break their limbs and place them, who had become disabled, in the middle of the forest filled with wild bears.
