Kurashiki Reika remembered.
She had asked this young man for directions before.
Kurashiki Reika had many things to attend to every day, and the saying 'important people are forgetful' applied to her perfectly, as if struck by lightning.
In fact, if it weren't for Hayato's face being so far from 'blending into the crowd,' Kurashiki Reika might still not remember who he was.
Hayato scratched his face, saying somewhat awkwardly:
"Um... Ms. Kurashiki, I was just talking nonsense."
"Hmm?"
"'Who's in charge of this school' and all that, I was just mouthing off. The school belongs to the students, and to the teachers, and even more so to the school board. It has nothing to do with me personally."
Play is play, mischief is mischief.
Don't joke in front of the PTA Chairman... The PTA Chairman might have limited say, but once this Chairman is also a famous rich woman, then Hayato also has to assess the situation.
Kurashiki Reika almost 'pfft'ed out a laugh.
But fortunately, years of business experience and dealing with influential people gave her enough composure to maintain an unreadable expression.
She nodded:
"I know, in times of crisis, one might resort to special methods."
This young man is somewhat interesting.
Kurashiki Reika thought, he could actually create discord between that kid named 'Shota' and his companion with just two or three sentences.
And the methods he used were swift and decisive, achieving full effect... they could be called 'vicious.'
Kurashiki Reika even had a feeling that if she were still standing beside him at that moment, he might have done something even more extraordinary.
Contrary to his harmless appearance, this young man might be dark inside.
Kurashiki Reika didn't think'scheming' was bad; in fact, she considered it a rare and valuable quality in a young person.
However,
As the PTA Chairman, a symbolic lesson still had to be given.
Kurashiki Reika continued:
"But what you did was still somewhat dangerous... In the future, don't rush into things when trouble arises. Those middle schoolers weren't a big threat to me."
She first reprimanded Hayato for needing to be more composed in his actions, and then she elevated her own authority.
Kurashiki Reika was indeed sincerely grateful for Hayato's help, but she was always a strong, ambitious woman. She didn't want to be in a disadvantaged position because of this young man's help.
Hayato was slightly surprised: "Oh?"
He had encountered this kind of thing more than once.
Whether it was the subway idiot.
Or Miyajima Sosaku's short film.
At that time, both Kushiro Arisa and Miyajima Kiichiro were in a state of waiting for death, as if this tactic was effective on everyone in this world... even including that newcomer East Gang.
Seeing that Hayato seemed unconvinced, Kurashiki Reika calmly proposed her solution:
"It's just a matter of discussing it with their parents. What's important in this society is 'connections.' If their parents don't want to lose their jobs, they will certainly listen to me. If the children are rebellious and this method is ineffective, I can also gather some'social people'...."
At this point, Kurashiki Reika closed her mouth.
Mentioning such'social' tactics in front of a high school student didn't seem too appropriate.
