Meshitaki Onna ni Yakuza no Ai wa Omosugiru

22. Acting swiftly is important

 

 

Somehow granted pardon, I was allowed to leave the room.

At first glance, it looked like I was calm, but in fact I returned to my room in a fluster.

I didn’t have leisure at all to pick up the fallen rice cooker on the veranda.

 

As soon as I entered my room, I urgently gathered my valuables.

I wavered over what I should do about the pot and ingredients I left on the floor, but I likely didn’t have time to deal with them.

While blaming myself a little, I left them as is and grabbed my bag.

 

Putting on sneakers to minimize the sound of footsteps as much as possible, I locked my door, and while feigning to be as calm as possible, I descended the apartment stairs.

 

In a place slightly distanced away, a luxury car was parked.

That was probably the car the man rode here.

 

Casually, I walked in the opposite direction of where the car was stopped.

I glanced at it as I was turning the corner, but the people riding in the car didn’t seem to pay me any attention.

Meaning that, as of now, I was currently unmarked.

 

The moment I finished turning the corner, full speed dash.

I wanted to get as far away from this place as possible for the time being.

 

Around the time when I began gasping for air, I entered a nearby woodsy park.

At the location with the best view yet with the least people, I took out my cellphone and dialed.

It might be ok, but I didn’t want anyone to overhear.

 

Eei! Hurry and pick up!

 

『What is it』

 

Finally replying was an inquisitive voice.

I never called for much other than work, and I was on vacation until today so it was only natural.

 

「President! Help!!!」

『Aan?』

「Just a small question, but in the area of my apartment, is there a crime syndicate called the Kazama group? 」

『Haa? What are you talking about』

「Just hurry and answer!」

 

When I snapped back, he replied as if he was unsure what was going on.

 

『Limited to the area where Shindo lives, the area is the Kazama group’s 2nd branch; the Kuromizuchi Association’s 1 turf.』

「Kuromizuchi?」

 

What an awfully chuuni 2 name.

But no, I don’t have any intention of retorting verbally on a yakuza organization’s name and forfeiting my life.

 

But it fits that man shudderingly.

He’s an ikemen and seems cheerful, but anyhow he’s a scary man.

 

『What the heck is it, all of a sudden…… It can’t be, Shindo, you didn’t pick a fight with them, did you?』

「Eh? ……No, I didn’t pick a fight with them …… Haha……」

 

I laughed dryly.

 

『Meaning, it came from their side. ……Are you a dumbass!』

「No, it was inevitable circumstances」

 

After I said that, President heaved a heavy sigh.

 

『……And?』

「Please refer me a good place to move to. A place where they can’t find me.」

『You, are you their retribution target?』

「No, I’m probably safe there. But I met face to face with a person that’s a liーttle bit of a bad type.」

『What do you mean by bad type?』

「Like my big brother, or like you, President?」

 

A “tch” was delivered through the phone.

 

『You got caught by another weird one』

 

――If you acknowledge yourself as weird, then please do some self-improvement, President.

 

『Information you exposed to them?』

「My real name and current address」

『Are you a dumbass!?』

「It was inevitable circumstances, I said! More importantly, I want to move before the day ends. By tonight, if possible.」

 

Please don’t retort ”night flight, you said!?”

Those four always retire from that room at night.

Fundamentally, it seems that place was used for standby in the daytime. Meaning if I was going to move, then I only had night time to do so.

 

『……Good grief, there’s no helping it I guess.  I’ll arrange for your moving destination right now. Prepare your luggage by tonight. ……This debt is big, you understand?』

 

Urgh, I didn’t want to be indebted to President……

 

「Roger……」

『Get away from that place as soon as possible. For now, head towards the company.』

 

Replying in consent, I hung up.

He’s a handful, but in times like these President is extremely reliable.

 

Moving immediately might be over the top, but I didn’t want to regret afterward.

No, I might just be extremely self-conscious, but in the case that I really caught that ikemen’s attention……

 

Even for staying beside him casually, that man is too dangerous.

It was fine when he was interested, but I shudder when I think of when it would be reversed.

 

In conclusion, until things calm down, it’s emergency evacuation!

 

 黒蛟会 Black dragon association. The “mizuchi” part, in this case, refers to a legendary Japanese dragon/serpent thing with an affinity with water. You can see why Nanao thinks it’s chuuni right? Lol Chuuni is referring to chuunibyou, or eighth grader syndrome. It’s when someone pretends (or truly believes themself) to be special with mystic powers or such and such. You can see some chuunibyou characters in an anime called “Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai“
