Chapter 76: Chapter 75: But… Why…?

“You two are lying.”

Shiori glared at the Naoki and Yuki, who’s sneering at her. For the first time, I felt betrayed when I saw Naoki sneering at her like that. That’s the last that I will have in my mind that Naoki will do, acting like Yuki. My innocent Naoki is crumbling—... Now on the worrying part, I can’t make Yuki flinch at how hard her grip. I’m having a hard time removing her hand from my mouth. Just by touching her arm, I became scared that if I forcefully pulled it. There’s a chance of me breaking it... Look at how thin her arms.

“We aren’t, right Naoki?”

Naoki nodded in response.

“Then why are you covering his mouth? Don’t make a fool of me. I knew everything. Ikeda only met him last week because of the both of them moving and because of his aunt. Second, you’re scary silver hair girl that Tatsuya pointed to where you annihilated three guys in the alleyway. Basically, you two are not childhood friends. But, the probability of going out with the two of you is...” Shiori’s face saddened, casting her head downwards as if she lost hope midway through her explanation to the two. Then Yuki spoke with a smirk on her face to deliver the last blow.

“The fact about us being her girlfriends is false, however, the thing about being his childhood friends is correct.”

“Eh?”

Eh? Why is she telling the truth now? There’s something wrong with her head, to be real. She’s one of the few people I can’t get a read, and the number one is Izumi-sensei with her poker face. Then I looked at Naoki and saw her mouth smiling. What are they planning? Then Naoki answered instead of Yuki.

“We’re just messing with you. Though about us being girlfriends are still on hold.”

“Eh?”

Shiori was so confused about what’s happening, or mostly, to Naoki and Yuki. She’s dumbfounded. Not only her, even me. What’s the point they’re doing right now? Shiori finally spoke about her confusion.

“Wait, wait... You guys aren’t really his girlfriends, but childhood friends? How come? He told me he doesn’t even know you nor met you. Don’t tell me he’s just lying?”

Once she said that her eyes started getting teary while looking at me. What?! So, I’m at fault now?! I’ve got a feeling that what Naoki said earlier was actually true. She’s acting weird, but deep inside me; I don’t want to believe it. Like, I’ve got two and now I will add one more? Come on, now... We’ve only met like twice and she’s interested in me?

Naoki responded, “No way, Tatsu is an honest person. He’s got amnesia that led him to forget us.”

“That’s true, you can even ask Tatsu, right here.”

Shiori’s eyes never left me even once, she’s staring at me firmly as if she’s about to suck my soul out of my body. But in truth, she’s staring at me because she’s figuring it out if what they said is true. Because of that, I nodded in response to Naoki and Yuki’s claim about our mysterious relationship. Though, I do not know where they’re going with this. There’s no point in doing this, unless... I do not have any idea where I’m going with this one.

“Oh... If you say so... But, why are you still covering his mouth?”

“Mhpf—”

“Oh, I forgot. Sorry~”

“Hmpf, what an excuse. You just wanted to feel his lips.”

Naoki grunted to Yuki, who’s making this smirk face while looking at her hands. Then she teasingly replied.

“Of course~”

I sighed in disappointment. The pain in my cheeks from Yuki’s hold is still there. She gave me one hell of a grip. I could feel my jaw falling out of my face from the pain.

“What are you guys planning? Saying those stuff to Shiori.”

“Isn’t she interesting? She’s totally interested in you. Look at her, haven’t you noticed it? You dense harem protagonist.” Yuki teasingly said while having this annoying smirk on her face. I’ve known that I’m dense on this stuff but please don’t say it into my face, it’s making me feel stupid in different ways. Then Naoki added by saying, “I told you, Tatsu.”

“Shut up, will ya? I’m sor—...”

My voice got cut short because of the flustered face of Shiori, she’s covering her face with both of her hands but her redness is still visible. I’m stupefied.

“Shiori...? Are you okay...?”

“Eh?! Ah?! Wah?! Y-yeah! I’m fine! Really!”

“Why are you so flustered? Don’t tell me, you’re really interested in me?”

Shiori’s eyes widen while looking at me, making her knees weak, which resulted in her kneeling on the ground. Her mouth was shaking, then she slowly opened it, “Y-Yesh...”

“For real?! Since when?!”

“I don’t know... L-Last year...?”

“The fuck? How come?”

Yuki walked in front of me and said. “Oh, come on. Zeno-chan~ No need to shy away~ You’ve always known him since last year, right? You’ve known his real name and everything, right?”

Shiori’s head turned ugly when Yuki mentioned that. But how come? What does she mean about Shiori knowing about me since last year? I don’t get what she meant by that. We’ve only met twice...? And she knew me and everything? What does she mean by that? Then Naoki went to my side, clenching my left hand. Because of that, it made my confusion more complicated than it is. Yuki continued with her talk.

“There’s no need to hide. You really underestimated one of the best network security in the world which is owned by my family, Iwamoto Shiori. Or should I call you Robot-san?”

Shiori’s face became more ugly, as Yuki says her words one by one. I have no idea where she’s going with this one. But after Yuki mentioned something about calling her Robot-san, Shiori glared at Yuki with an extremely angry face. Her voice turned rough and stern while speaking to Yuki.

“What do you want? Hatsumi Yuki from the Hatsumi Family who’s the one responsible for owning different kinds of business in the country.”

“You’re very well-informed, but is that really the only thing you want? My information? After trying to infiltrate the Hatsumi Family, Robot-san? Or you wanted to attack us on purpose?”

“Hoo~ I’m really impressed by the company that your family-owned. I’m not the one who attacked first. Your people tried to put their nose on my private life. It’s only self-defense with a bit of revenge.”

What...? Shiori’s behavior turned 180 when Yuki said about a nickname of some sort. Infiltrate? Network Security? What the hell is going on? Who’s Zeno? Scratch that, Iwamoto Shiori...? What’s her real identity?

“What a cunning person. I like it. That personality of yours really fits.” Yuki smiled.

“I’ll take that as a compliment since you're worse than me.”

“You’re really something. First, after trying to attack our cybersecurity, but after getting caught by my people. You immediately went to Tatsuya, trying to befriend him. What’s your purpose, little stalker-san? You got caught. What can you do now?”

Shiori’s face didn’t change as she stares at Yuki with an indifferent face, showing that it didn’t make her worry with all the stuff that Yuki said to her. While I, on the other hand, I’m in a state of bewilderment. I can’t process all the things that Yuki said to Shiori. Is it all true? But why...? I can feel Naoki’s hand getting tighter. Shiori then laughed.

“Hahahahaha...”

“You’ve gone insane, huh?”

“I can’t believe my Tatsuya was able to get the princess of the Hatsumi Family. I should’ve got him sooner—”

“Sorry to burst your bubble, but he’s always been under my protection way before you met him. You can’t do anything, Iwamoto Shiori. Checkmate.”

Shiori’s face turned ugly once again. “So? It doesn’t mean, I can’t get him.” She stood up and brushed the dirt off her knees, and started walking away. Staring at my eyes, she said her last words with a creepy smile on her face. “Don’t worry, I don’t care about the power of the Hatsumi Family. We’ll find our way to love each other~ My dear Xeco, ~”

Chillness slithered through my spine. I can’t stop shivering while watching Shiori’s back disappearing from the distance as she walks away from us. I’ve got thousands of questions or even reaching into millions. What happened to Shiori...? Plus, what did they even talk about...? A slight pain brisked on the right part of my head because of that. My left eye twitched at the same time as the pain.

“Yuki, are you sure about letting her go? What if she did something that could endanger Tatsu...?”

“Oh, come on, Nao-chan. That girl...” Yuki’s eyes narrowed toward the direction where Shiori left. “... She’s harmless. There’s no need to worry about her. Even though she’s extremely obsessed with Tatsu, she doesn’t have the guts to do anything to him. Plus, I told you, he’s part of the people besides me who are in protection under our Hatsumi rules.”

“Still, that doesn’t mean you can let her roam free.”

“I can just ask to monitor her. Plus, I was planning to let her join, but seeing her attitude towards us, she’s more possessive than I thought. What a troublesome girl. How come Tatsuya keeps attracting girls?”

“He got great charisma and well-mannered behavior. In addition, he’s talented and pretty much can do anything.”

“That’s true. All true.”

Yuki and Naoki nodded in complete agreement with each other. Then there’s me, contemplating all the stuff that had transpired earlier. For the duration of their conversation, I’m in a state of confusion all that time. There’s a tight feeling inside my chest, it’s indescribable. As I watch Yuki and Naoki with their conversation, something came to my mind, so I opened my mouth and asked Yuki.

“So, you’re telling me... She’s been stalking me ever since we’ve met each other online...?”

“Oh, you’re finally talking Tatsu. And, the answer is, yes. Before deleting all her files, we’ve retrieved some pictures of you looking at your laptop screen or some pictures of you walking. Only the tip of the iceberg. I bet she has more hidden inside her computer.”

“But... Why...?”

“To be honest, I don’t know. You just attracted one crazy girl. So now, go cover the laptop camera or any camera in your room with anything like tape.”

Oh... That’s a good idea...

“Did you learn anything from her...?”

“None, other than her alias online. Even where she lives... This sounds crazy, but my people are losing track of her...”

“I think just leave her alone, Yuki.”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

Naoki and Yuki gave a questioning look face.

“She will do nothing, I guarantee that. I got a feeling that if you become more persistent with investigating her, it will only be bad for us. I don’t think she’s a bad person, perhaps only crazy.”

“Imagine if your brocon sister knew about her. How will she react?”

Yuki teasingly said with a smile on her face. Because of what she said, thousand of scenarios started pouring into my head. Basically, crazy to crazy fight. Though I still can’t believe that Shiori was like that. I can’t get over it. I don’t know how to express this turmoil in my chest.

“Please don’t make me imagine that...”

“Hahahahaha...”
