A Lucky? Dude Journey

Chapter 77

It was 8 AM in the morning. Currently, I'm eating buffet type breakfast in the hotel's restaurant. Many people can be seen eating on the table with their families or friends while merrily chatting about where should they go today.

Looks like not a few of them are going to the place I'm going to, Monte Sano Mountain. It was as expected because Monte Sano Mountain is one of the places people like to visit in this city.

The Travelling website even recommended it as it has some of the best public trails for hiking and mountain biking with a spectacular view overlooking the downtown Huntsville scenery.

After finishing my breakfast, I directly went to Monte Sano Mountain with a taxi. When I arrived, many people were there preparing themselves to hike on the mountain. Among them, there is a group that I recognize standing while talking about something.

The group consists of five people and one dog. Unmistakably it was the mystery machine gang plus Shishou's daughter, Musashi. Looking at Musashi, I began thinking it was fair for Shishou to said beautiful twice when describing her as she was more beautiful than I imagined.

She has gorgeous silver hair tied with a black hair tie and a pair of blue eyes. Model-like body paired with such a red tank top with an exposed navel and ashen blue jeans. She also wears a red cap and bringing a small blue backpack on her back alongside sword case.

I looked around and saw many people either it man or woman looking at her admiringly. Obviously, not a few of them having l.u.s.tful eyes and tried to approach her but she doesn't seem bothered by it and completely disregarding them.

Looking at that, I assume that kind of situation happens often. But I guess, showing them their place when they attempted a forceful way was easy for her who mastered Niten Ichi-Ryu without the last technique like me.

The mystery machine gang only looked at the man who approached her with pity as they're ignored by her. Suddenly, a man who got ignored tried again more aggressively this time. I know she doesn't require help, but I decided to butt in.

"How dare you ignore me, b*tch!" The man shoutingly said making people looking at them. But none of them tried to help, maybe because the man looks scary and muscled. I assume he was something like a boss here. Then, the man tried to take Musashi's hand by force.

"Stop it." I stopped the man's hand that almost reached Musashi's and said with a cold tone while looking at the man menacingly. Musashi, who was about to punch the man, surprised when I stopped him first.

"It's not your problem, bastard!" The man angrily said and tried to punch me with his other hand. But I catch his punch and squeezed his hand with more power causing a bone-cracking sound can be heard from his hand.

"ARGH!" The man shouted while trying to free his hand.

"..." I didn't say anything and just looked at the man's eyes while intimidating him with my aura.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The man desperately said with a terrified expression.

"Good. Go away." I sharply said with a cold tone after releasing the man whose hand bend in an unnatural way.

"Well, I know you don't need help, but why not?" I smilingly said to Musashi as the man sprinting away from me.

"Hehe. Still, thanks for helping. Other than you, the rest who didn't know I can handle it doesn't even try to help." Musashi said with a delighted smile.

"You know this guy, Shaggy?" The blonde teen asked.

"Hmm? No, but I think I have met you before?" Shaggy tilted his head and said.

"Indeed, we've met in London," I answered.

"Ah! One of two people we asked in front of the back alley!" Shaggy said after realizing something.

"That's right. Anyway, nice to meet you Musashi-san. Can I call your name directly?" I nodded then said.

"It's fine, you can call me Musashi. Wait, how do you know me?" Musashi answered then asked with a surprised expression.

"I think your father has said it to you, but I'm your father disciple, Kitahara Izumi. You can call me Izumi." I introduced myself with a smile.

"Ah! You're the rumored disciple of him! He always talked about how talented you are. But he didn't tell me you were going to come, Izumi!" Musashi smilingly said.

"Because me coming here just decided after you contacted your father on the payphone. He also told me about how talented and beautiful you are. But I guess, his description wasn't enough to describe how beautiful you are." I said with a charming smile.

"Hehe... You make me embarrassed." Musashi laughingly said with her cheek dyed in red.

"At any rate, I actually came here for you, Musashi-san," I said while looking at her eyes.

"Hoo..." The two girls in the mystery machine gang said with an amazed expression.

"Eh?! W-wait, we just meet today... But a pretty boy coming here just for me...Hehehe..." Musashi shyly said with blushed cheek then she lowered her face and laughingly added with a low voice.

Looks like they misunderstand what I mean. I assume they take it as something like love confession. Not that I mind, though.

"Haha...I don't mind if you interpret it as you have in mind. But, I actually come here to talk about nothingness." I smirked and said.

"Eh? ....Too bad... but he said it was fine...hehehe... A-anyway, sure thing Izumi. I also wanted to talk about that with you. But I'm going accompanying them for a bit because I promised." Musashi eagerly said.

"Then I will accompany them with you." I smilingly said.

"Is it fine? It might take a day you know?" Musashi asked concernedly.

"It just means I have more time to spend with you... To talk of course." I said with a teasing smile.

"Y-yes of course to talk..." Musashi said with her cheek dyed in red.

"Hehe... At any rate, we haven't introduced ourselves, right? As you heard before, my name is Kitahara Izumi. Nice to meet you." I looked at the mystery machine gang and introduced myself.

The mystery machine gang introduced themselves one by one. It seems the blonde teen is really their leader. His name is Fred. Next are the two girls whose name is Daphne and Velma. Looks like they recognized who I was but fortunately, they are just a normal fan and not a fanatic one.

Then the lanky teen with the name Shaggy also introduced himself. There isn't any fascinating thing from their introduction until the last member introduced itself. The Great Dane dog with the name Scooby.

"I am Scooby-Doo! Nice to meet you!" Scooby introduced himself.

"...You can talk?!" I shoutingly said with a shocked expression.

"I know that feeling, Izumi. I also reacted the same way when I meet them." Musashi nodded and said.

"But it can't talk before!" I added.

"What are you talking about? Scooby always can talk, though?" Shaggy tilted his head and said.

"..." I didn't say anything when I heard his response. Or more like, I can't. When I looked at the other members, they only shake their head, and wryly smiled at me.

Look like they also can't hear Scooby talk when we meet in London but didn't say anything to Shaggy. Musashi also patted my shoulder and looked at me with a wry smile.

"...Looks like I have mistakenly remembered it. It goes without saying, he can talk." I smilingly said. Even though I don't know what makes him can talk, I'm glad Shaggy can finally talk with him.

"Of course, he is my precious partner after all. Right, Scooby?" Shaggy nodded and proudly said.

"Yes. Hihihihihi." Scooby joyfully said.

"So, what are we going to do here?" I curiously asked.

"That's a good question, Izumi! We are here to look for a mystery to solve!" Fred enthusiastically said.

"I thought you already have a mystery to solve here," I said because I thought the mystery would come to them without them doing anything every day.

"There is no way we have a mystery to solve every day, right? Obviously, we need to search for it." Velma casually explained.

"Reasonable. What are we waiting for then?" I nodded and said.

"Excellent spirit, Izumi! Let's go, gang!" Fred said eagerly and walks in front with the gang while Musashi walks beside me following them.

It was at this moment, systematical sounds that I haven't heard for quite some time sounding in my mind.
