Meshitaki Onna ni Yakuza no Ai wa Omosugiru

30. C’mon, Mary!!!

After a while, I finally regained my bearings.

――Oh no, my soul flew out.

Snapping my jaw closed, I slapped my face and returned my expression into a decent one.

Well yeah, he did chase me over a sea, so I did think he liked me to a certain extent, but……

The man laughed lightly.

「Accept it, Nanao―― Even if you run away or flail about, I don’t intend to let you escape. It’s more beneficial for you to nod while I’m still being lenient on you」

Those eyes were fierce, but endlessly sweet.

Even though I know he’s the type of person I should never believe in, there was a strange feeling of pressure and I felt like I would be captured.

I wonder if I can escape…… I probably can’t escape……

Well, no, if I went to President and really cried something could probably be done, but I began thinking this would be ok too.

I’m easy, if I say so myself.

While thinking such things, I sighed heavily.

This sigh was one to convince myself.

「……Then, starting as friends, please」

Hearing my words, Mary-san in the front seat burst out laughing.

「……Kisugi」

From the man――From Kazama-san came a displeased voice.

「My apologies, I thought it was a wary response for Boss as the addressee……」

His voice was serious, but Mary-san, your shoulders are shaking so it’s obvious you’re laughing.

After Kazama-san let out a dissatisfied sigh, he pulled up my body.

Yes, I was being pushed down on the seat the whole time.

「Well, as long as you stay by my side, I’m fine with it for now. Fine, for now. ……But if you let your guard down, I might just eat you up, Nanao」

Hahaha……

While I immediately regretted making a foolish decision, Kazama-san gestured to the front seat with his chin.

「Nanao. This guy is Kisugi. I’ll leave him with you」

「……Yes? With me?」

「It’s as it sounds.」

「No, you don’t have to stick anyone on me. I don’t feel like running away for now, so」

I just think it’s a waste of personnel expenses. In the first place, just how much money did this Mary-san seige plan cost?

No, I’m not in the wrong! I don’t think I’m in the wrong at all!!

「What if some guy violates you while I’m not watching?」

Haa……?

I looked at him with fishy eyes.

――It looks like he’s saying it earnestly. That way of thinking, what kind of slum does he come from.

「There’s no way something like that would happen」

「You don’t know if you’ll catch the eyes of some yakuza out there too」

Well, that’s…… There’s absolutely no way, is what I can’t reply with. It’s already happened once.

I stared at the man sitting beside me with reproachful eyes, but…… It’s no good, he’s not moved at all. Is it because my disapproval isn’t being conveyed, or because he doesn’t think it’s something bad at all?

「So you’re saying that if you come in contact with a man somewhere I don’t know, I can kill him?」

「You can’t!! What are you saying!?」

「Since we’re going to be with each other for a while, it’s only natural I’d want to know everything about Nanao. ――If you take a call from a man somewhere I don’t know, I’ll lock you in my room and ravish until you forget everything but me, is that ok?」

You can’t, I said!!!

At that moment, the cellphone I stuffed into my pocket rung.

Eh, this phone call, somehow I have a bad feeling……

Tentatively looking at the man beside me―― His eyes were completely chilled.

――As if saying『If that’s a man, you know what’ll happen, right?』

Jerking his chin as if to order me to pick up, Kazama-san.

Eh, I seriously don’t want to pick up though.

If the caller is a man, what’ll happen……

Please don’t be a man! As long as it’s not a man, I’ll even forgive a call from the scary Mary-san!

Well, behind the mask, Mary-san was a man too.

「…………Yes」

Deliberately not looking at the screen, I pushed the answer button.

C’mon!! Mary-san!!!

『Ohh, Shindo. It’s me. That Kochi apartment, it looks like the Kuromizuchi Asscociation have found it so if you don’t wanna get caught, you better run. Ah, but, if you break the deadline date, you know what’s coming to you』

You’re late, President!!! And you’re timing is the worst!!!!
