"!!"
Kurashiki Reina gasped.
Mother, why did she mention him?
…No, to be precise, why does Mr. Hayashi appear in her life at all times!?
"You really do know him," Kurashiki Reika heard her daughter's reaction.
"…...Mm." Kurashiki Reina nodded.
"A friend?"
"No."
"An enemy?"
"…...Neither."
Kurashiki Reika hesitated again. Not a friend, not an enemy.
But judging from Reina's gasping reaction when she just mentioned him, it shouldn't be the relationship of ordinary classmates who have never met before...
She thought for a moment and said:
"If you like him, be bold and pursue him seriously. Don't casually find some disrereputable boyfriends anymore."
"!?"
Kurashiki Reina's eyes widened to an incredible degree.
She found it amusing, but her lips moved, then she pursed them, unable to laugh.
...…What is she saying?
What is her mom saying?!
Her?
Likes?
Hayato!?
Got it all wrong!!
"Hmm, I'll talk to you properly about this 'Hayato' matter when I'm free later. You should go thank him afterward," Kurashiki Reika said. Reina could tell that Reika was about to hang up as soon as she said this. Sure enough, she added, "I'm hanging up now…you should break up with Bee Arrow as soon as possible."

The call ended.
Follower Number One and Follower Number Two exchanged glances.
After looking at each other, they looked at Kurashiki Reina.
They didn't know what Kurashiki's mom had said to her, but after the latter finished the call, she was panting as if she had lost all strength.
Her expression was also exceptionally colorful.
One moment green, one moment white, and then red appeared.
'Are you going to ask?' Follower Number One's eyes said.
'I wouldn't dare.' Follower Number Two's eyes replied.
"Ah!!! Damn it!"
Kurashiki Reina stared at her phone for a while, then angrily raised it above her head. Just as it was about to fall, the two followers quickly went to embrace her.
"Reina-chan, don't be like this, Reina-chan, don't be like this!"
"…Whew, whew…"
Kurashiki Reina was still fuming, but after the two followers stopped her, she took a few deep breaths and decided against smashing her phone to smithereens.
The two followers still didn't dare to ask what had happened.
Follower Number Two only dared to ask timidly,
"Then Reina, where are we going next?"
"To find Bee Arrow!!" Kurashiki Reina said hoarsely.
No matter how useless Hachisuka Hidemichi was, he was still the boyfriend she had personally chosen.
Why should he be worse than Hayato!?
Why!!
Kurashiki Reina was practically grinding her teeth.
At this moment, the two followers didn't dare to say a single teasing word.
…
"Achoo,"
Mizuno Lian heard a sneeze from not far away, and a mumbled voice saying, "Who the hell is cursing me behind my back again."
Jack Older Brother was back.
Mizuno Lian was quite excited.
Although he had been roped in by Shota and his group, he was not actually birds of a feather with them.
Mizuno Lian complying with Shota's demands was not out of fear of their bullying, but rather… for another purpose.
He was acting for "justice."
Yes, he had long known that Shota was up to no good. He agreed to him only to figure out his plan, and then find an opportunity to interfere and sabotage their scheme.
If it had been more than two months ago, if Mizuno Lian had encountered such a thing, he would have, if not naturally colluded with Shota, then at least been forced by the pressure of school bullying to do their bidding.
But the current Mizuno Lian was no longer the coward he was more than two months ago!
The image of the hero who shielded him from all the scalding hot water often appeared before his eyes!
Mizuno Lian wanted to follow him and become a hero too!
Then, unexpectedly, he reunited with the hero he had dreamed of!
At first, when Mizuno Lian saw that the 'Hayato' Shota was targeting was that older brother, he almost couldn't resist immediately wanting to warn him, but to avoid tipping them off, he still... endured for three days!
Then, he accidentally discovered that Shota and his group were going to act alone in Shiraki, keeping it from him. He thought his undercover mission had failed.
Damn it, why were they trying to keep it from him!
He realized something big was wrong and quickly rushed to Shiraki to warn Jack Older Brother!
Perhaps his desire to become a hero reminded Jack Older Brother that he was the boy he had saved at the ramen shop, so he immediately believed his words.
Hero God, my mission is complete!
Presumably, Jack Older Brother had used his superb swordsmanship to teach Shota and his group a lesson.
Thinking of Jack Older Brother's swordsmanship, Mizuno Lian's eyes were filled with adoring stars.
"Jack Older Brother!" Mizuno Lian rushed out.
To prevent his
spy
identity from being discovered and then liquidated, Hayato had him wait here.
Hayato walked over slowly, looking at Mizuno Lian.
And Mizuno Lian looked at him excitedly.
Many words were hidden in his chest, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak, how to catch up?
Mizuno Lian's lips trembled slightly.
Hayato, however, spoke first, his eyes sharpening.
"Now it's time to talk about your problem."
"Eh?" Mizuno Lian was stunned.
"You were with them before, so it's not strange that you know my name. But why did you come to inform me? Do you have a grudge against them? Do you want to use my hand to help you teach them a lesson?"
Mizuno Lian continued to be stunned, and then his star-filled eyes dimmed, his pupils gradually becoming empty.
"Xiao, Jack Older Brother…"
"…Hmm?"
Mizuno Lian clenched one fist and placed his other hand over his chest, shouting:
"Have you, forgotten the friendship from Chapters Ninety-Six to Ninety-Nine!?"
"?"
'What the hell?' Hayato thought.
