Chapter 2151: Too Stupid

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Pacifying Koharu's curiosity was an easy feat. I only had to say yes to all of her questions since she was already on point. Finding out about our relationship brought her joy because it meant her bully cousin would be losing his fiancee.

Even if that's inherently a bad thought, after getting picked on by him all this time, Koharu's goodwill toward him had all but vanished. She'd rather support me, her kind boxing

instructor, for her newly found older sister.

When I asked her if Ichihara-san was aware of this, the little girl shook her head.

I expected it since her mother had other issues to think about, after all. As an adult, she wouldn't simply assume things - even though she mistakenly thought I'd accept her cry for help before.

"Take care going back, Koharu-chan. I'll see you this Sunday if your father doesn't fire me." "Eh? Is it because of my cousin? Leave it to me, sensei! I won't let him fire you!"

As though she found a task she had to complete, fires of determination ignited in her eyes. Well, I intentionally mentioned that to let her react like this. But thinking about it, if her father does fire me, she'll still complain to him.

As for whether she could sway him or not, I had no idea.

If he was truly playing the long game to set up his daughter to take up a major role in their family in the future, he probably had a plan set up for her in advance.

.

And it would surely not include coddling someone who was openly opposing their family.

We'll see this coming weekend or days before that. If Ichihara-san doesn't call me for the cancellation then I'll come in again as a Koharu's instructor.

After patting the girl's head with a smile and thanking her for that, we walked her to the back door and escorted her with our eyes until she disappeared on the bend leading to their house. With the time running out on us again, Marika and I set off for school.

Since we still have to walk to the bus station again, we couldn't afford to waste more time.

Of course, before leaving through her front door hand-in-hand, Marika and I spent a few minutes curbing our craving for intimacy.

We couldn't just openly get affectionate in front of Koharu, after all. It'd be a bad influence for that girl.

"Hmm? You're still here, senpai? Sorry. You have to go back today again. Also, to save you the trouble, do not come tomorrow. I'll be picking her up again. Enjoy your vacation."

Since running into Ichihara Jun at the front was inevitable, I already prepared some jabs for him.

And Marika wasn't going to be left out on that.

With our hands locked so tightly that everyone's eyes got drawn to it, the golden ringlet girl puffed up her chest and haughtily said, "Jun-kun. You need not concern yourself with me any longer. You may call upon the other girls you're flirting with to accompany you. I do not mind. After all, I have learned from your example. Ruki-kun is here with me now, and he is more than enough for me, wouldn't you say so as well?"

Hit by our one-two punch, Ichihara Jun who was just about to start posturing froze in place. The driver with him as well as Marika's two bodyguards all turned their gazes to the side as though they didn't want to laugh at the expression he was making at the moment.

And then, without waiting for him to recover, I pulled Marika closer, turned to the two men behind us, and asked, "Can I take her to school today too?"

The one who let me in composed himself and answered, "We can drive you to the bus stop."

"Oh. Isn't that great, Marika?"

Marika beamed and nodded.

Although the other bodyguard remained speechless.

He immediately moved to take the car around.

Then the other escorted us and opened the door for us.

All this while ignoring Ichihara Jun, his driver, and whoever was observing this situation.

Of course, knowing that guy, he wouldn't just let us leave like this, right?

Before I could join Marika inside the car, I turned in his direction and saw him stomping the ground as he approached. His nose was flaring as though smoke could be exhumed from it at any moment.

However, as soon as he met my mocking gaze which I intentionally donned to provoke him, he immediately stopped and furiously pointed at me just like how he always acted many times before.

"Onoda! I won't accept this! I swear! I'll take back Marika from you! Just you wait!"

"Well done. Said like a third-rate villain, senpai." I did a slow clap, mocking his display. Marika's bodyguard who was holding the door let out a grunt. Most likely he was close to bursting out laughing.

As for Marika, she's already relaxed inside. Having seen me deal with Ichihara Jun multiple times already, she's now confident that I won't be at any disadvantage against him.

"If you're done sending out your threats, it's about time to throw some punch, senpai. Here. I'll probably feel it if you hit me here." I pointed at my cheek and bent slightly forward.

Ichihara Jun shook in anger but he still couldn't say anything.

What a total wuss.

He kept showing up like this only to be humiliated. Does he actually have a humiliation kink? Is he getting off of this?

Nah. He was just so stupid because all he had to do before was to reveal his family name or his money and people would flock over him. This was his first time encountering someone like me who cannot be intimidated. And despite his attempts to hire others to teach me a lesson, nothing works.

To add insult to the injury, I successfully made the girl that he thought he already bagged after getting engaged with him fall for me in the shortest time possible.

Now, he could only become like this. A sitting duck who could only quack but not bite.

"Word of advice, senpai. Next time, treat girls like they're the most special person in your life. Trust me. It'll make your life better."

Upon leaving those words of wisdom - I was still seemingly influenced by last night's Wisdom Sage stint - I joined Marika in the car and closed the door. The girl immediately cuddled to my side, happily rejoicing at another day of us spending time together.

Just like what I requested, the car only sent us to the nearest bus stop. Marika and I reviewed what I taught her yesterday about public transportation for a few minutes as we waited for the bus to arrive. As for her bodyguards, they're probably going to follow the bus today just to make sure we arrive safely at the school.
