chapter 2384: news and update



different from yesterday, the dude from the newspaper club didn't approach me after i separated from akane and the others. however, he was waiting for me at the same alley that always used.

as soon as he found me approaching, he straightened up, looking like someone who had a scoop to tell me.

"onoda. i have news for you." he said with a grin.

i forgot his name but it didn't matter, i guess? he's the newspaper dude. now, he's also a newsbearer. what the hell is this guy?

"what is it?"

"look..." upon saying that, he handed his notepad that had been to a page.

as i read it, the content made my lips curl up. he's pretty useful.

"heh. you're a quick worker, huh? have you finished looking into it?" i handed the notepad back to him.

"yes! it's big. you know? i never thought a lot of names would be involved here. this is massive. and man, everyone is abuzz. no one can dismiss when big names like kaneko and hasegawa are involved in it."

"what? that shouldn't be about them though."

"i know. it's about that trash cuck. but you can't deny their influence. if they're moving, that means it's serious enough for everyone. it's a done deal. he'll be exposed. i'll write a

frontpage headline about him. just tell me. how do you know about this, onoda? did your girlfriend tell you?"

as expected, his interest in my affairs was still there. ohori-senpai's cuck ex was just a mere distraction. he was probably already certain that my relationship with the girls wasn't simple. he just wanted confirmation.

"how else would i know?" i narrowed my eyes at him, putting my expression back to the cold, indifferent one.

sensing the change in my tone, the newspaper backed off.

"right. right... well, do you have other scoops? you know. to fill in the other pages."

at least he's sensible.

i guess i can use him for swatting the flies buzzing around my girls. the ones who i hadn't started taking action against yet.

"let's see. i'll give you something else if you stop prying about the other students' relationship status"

"ruki.. do you want me to hit my employees?" with widened eyes, otoha looked up at me with doubtful expression.

i pinched her nose as i maintained a smirk, "no. it will serve as motivation. but well, i guess you can do anything you want. otoha, aside from kendo, don't you have something you're

also good at?"

"what?" she tilted her head.

"you have a keen eye on cute things."

"stuffed toys, you mean."

"mhm. i believe you'll excel more if you do something you really like, not just something

pushed onto you."

that's right. if there's something she truly can excel in, it's her love for cute things. her room was already filled with the stuffed toys i gifted her. not to mention, she's also collecting more

of them.

it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her grandfather could open a manufacturing company for it, if not, buy a sufficient enough share of a known brand to have a voice on the

board and put her in charge of it.

"i'll tell grandpa about it."

"i look forward to seeing what he will prepare for you. i'll scold him if he just puts you in one corner just to keep you busy."

"pfft. how can you scold him? don't be silly." with otoha's laughter filling the car and fluffy mood returned which eventually switched back to a passionate moment when we started savoring the days we couldn't be together.

after a while, hitomi cleared her throat, "if you're both done, shall we proceed to school?"

"we're not done yet. come here, hitomi." i said, pulling her from the driver's seat and

bringing her to the back with us.

there's just no way i'd let this opportunity pass. the car might shake but that's why we're in a

street with less foot traffic.
