Chapter 45: Togo Tomari
Chapter 45: Togo Tomari
Shishio was dumbfounded when this young woman suddenly called out his real name, but at the same time…
<Target has been found!>
<Congratulations, you have received 5 billion yen>
“…”
Shishio thought that even if he had random bad luck occasionally, his luck with a woman was very good that it made him dumbfounded sometimes.
The girl and Hong were also dumbfounded when the young man was called Shishio, not Nobi Nobita.
Hong quickly realized that he had been tricked and became furious!
“You bastard!!!”
Hong was about to do something, but…
“Hong, if you don’t want JSDF to target you then it is better if you don’t do anything,” the young woman said coldly.
“…JSDF?”
Hong was dumbfounded.
The girl, who was holding, Shishio’s hand was confused since she didn’t think that Shishio was a member of JSDF with his long hair.
‘Should it be his relative?’
When Hong and the girl were thinking, Shishio quickly remembered who this young woman was since this young woman also appeared in the memory of the previous Shishio Oga.
“Tomari-san?” Shishio asked unsurely.
“It’s really you!” The young woman was also surprised to see Shishio in this place, then observed him from up to down, and glanced at the girl on his side. She raised her eyebrow and said, “You have grown up.”
“Tomari-san?”
The girl beside Shishio looked at the young woman then she was in shock since she remembered who this young woman was.
“Merchant of death!”
Togo Tomari, that was the name of this young woman, was the CEO of Iwami Heavy Industries and also regarded as a lunatic of the Japanese business community since she was an arms dealer and at how controversial she was in public so most of them called her “Merchant of Death”.
Then what was the relationship between Shishio and Tomari? How did they know each other?
Well, both of them knew each other because of Shishio’s grandfather.
Shishio’s grandfather was a general on JSDF and if there wasn’t any problem, he should become a minister of defense a few years later.
Tomari was an arms dealer and it was normal for her to deal with Shishio’s grandfather since he was Tomari’s client. In addition to selling her weapons in a war-torn country, she also sold her arms to an army so of course, she needed to maintain a good relationship with Shishio’s grandfather.
When Hong heard Tomari’s words, he didn’t do anything since he knew very well that Shishio might be the son or the grandson of someone important and it was very troublesome to deal with such a people. Even though he wanted to have a duel with Shishio, he wasn’t stupid enough to make an enemy of JSDF.
Hong might be able to shut down the pain on his body, but what was the use of it when he was suddenly shot by a sniper right in the head?
“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in Kyoto?” Tomari asked curiously. Even though most people would think of her as crazy, she was very rational and she could also act normally to people.
“Ugh…” Shishio felt a bit awkward since he didn’t expect to meet his acquaintance. He wasn’t sure whether he could get away by lying and he also didn’t see harm, to tell the truth, so he told her directly. “I am in high school now so I decided to move here.”
“I see.” Tomari nodded and said, “Then what are you doing in this alley? Are you going to fuck your little girlfriend here?”
“Huh?!” The girl was dumbfounded when she heard Tomari’s words.
Shishio frowned and said, “No, you misunderstood and she isn’t my girlfriend.” He then pointed his finger toward the direction of the group of men in the alley and said, “Those guys wanted to defile her so I saved her.” He was wondering how this woman could be so vulgar, but since she wasn’t his family or lover, then he wouldn’t say anything about it since it was her freedom.
Tomari looked at the group of men in the alley and could see that they were being beaten up senselessly, but she didn’t think too much and said, “I will handle them, you don’t need to worry.” For her, it was very easy to erase the existence of that trash of society without anyone noticing.
Shishio looked at Tomari and asked, “…Do I have to pay something?” Even if his grandfather was Tomari’s client, he didn’t want to owe a favor to Tomari since owning a favor to a businessman was very expensive.
“You don’t need to pay anything, this kind of thing is easy for me,” Tomari said easily.
“It’s alright. Even if you don’t do anything, they won’t be able to do anything to us after all,” Shishio said and decided to refuse Tomari’s kindness since he didn’t really want to owe her a favor, least that she might ask him a request or something in the future.
“Well, if you say so…” Tomari felt that this boy had grown up and felt a bit difficult to handle, thinking back at how cute and stupid he was before, she felt a bit unacceptable by his growth since he became quite smart now and became quite uncute.
“Then Tomari-san, I will go back now since I have to get up early to go to the entrance ceremony of my high school,” Shishio said.
Tomari nodded and said, “Then I will give you my phone number, you can call me if you need something.” She then gave Shishio her name card. “Give me your phone number, by the way.”
Shishio didn’t reject, accepted Tomari’s business card, and exchanged contacts with each other. “Thank you, Tomari-san. Then I will leave now.” He then pulled the hand of the girl and walked away since he felt that it was a bit awkward to meet someone he knew.
The girl bowed her head slightly and also walked together with Shishio.
Tomari looked at Shishio’s back for a while until she saw him had gone.
“Do you like him, Ms. Tomari?” Hong asked. He also didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it since Tomari was a woman and it was normal for her to be attracted to a man, though, he didn’t expect that she loved the younger one, but he had to admit that Shishio was very handsome.
“If you keep talking then I will place C4 on your throat later,” Tomari said coldly.
Hong shrugged his shoulders, but he still said, “But that boy is powerful, you should scout him as a fighter.” Even though it was hard to accept, he still had to admit that Shishio was very strong and he might not be able to defeat him, which made him feel bitter somehow.
Tomari raised her eyebrow and started to ponder until she saw her bodyguards come along with her secretary. She then walked away and said, “Clean up those men in the alley.”
They quickly nodded and picked all the men that were beaten up by Shishio, following Tomari’s order to clean them up.
How would they clean them up?
It should be obvious, right?
—
When Shishio and the girl had walked away from Tomari and her group, he let out a sigh and released the girl’s hand.
The girl seemed to be disappointed somehow and looked at the hand that was let go by Shishio. The alley was quite dark before so she couldn’t see Shishio’s appearance clearly, but under this street light, she had to admit that he was very handsome.
“It is safe now and I am sorry for holding your hand for a long time before,” Shishio said simply.
“No, it’s alright.” The girl shook her head and looked at him before asking, “Your name is Shishio Oga, right? not Nobi Nobita.” She wanted to confirm the name of the person who had saved her after all.
“…..”
“…Yes, that’s my name.” Shishio looked at the girl again and had to admit that this girl was very beautiful. He was really wondering how he was able to meet a lot of beautiful women in the past few days, and at the same time, he knew very well who this girl was, and he had a feeling that he would meet more people from the same story as this girl in the future.
“My name is Saki Kawasaki and thank you very much for helping me out before,” Saki said and bowed her head slightly, feeling grateful for Shishio who had saved her from her plight.
