Crossing Tokyo, I have a nine-tailed fox inside me.

As the sun sets, the school bell rings, signaling the end of the school day. The school prepares to close, and everyone packs their bags and says goodbye at the school gate.

The four girls were going shopping together to prepare for next week's filming, so they went together, while Takashi went home alone.

Walking home, Takashi felt calm, but that calm was soon shattered.

"Excuse me, can we be friends?"

A girl ran up to Takashi, picked up her phone, and looked at him expectantly, her eyes fixed on his face, sparkling with admiration.

Takashi stopped and looked at the girl, and also saw her companions behind her. They were two other girls whispering to each other, their expressions filled with excitement.

I actually got hit on!

Judging from their school uniforms, they were students from another school.

Takashi waved his hand and said calmly, "Sorry, I don't exchange numbers with just anyone."

The girl was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting to be rejected. She was very popular at school, and many male classmates would come up to talk to her. She had always been confident in her beauty. Just now on the road, she suddenly saw this handsome guy and was immediately amazed. She came over to chat without hesitation, and her companion was also cheering her on.

She believed that no one would refuse to be friends with a pretty girl, but she never expected that the other girl would reject her.

She was still unwilling to give up, and continued, "Having more friends means having more options. We can come out together then!"

These were the words her male classmates often said to her. She never expected to hear them come out of her own mouth today, but the other person was just too attractive to her, so she was willing to compromise.

But she was destined to fail.

Takashi waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I have something to do, I won't bother you any longer." Then he left.

The girl's face was very ugly. She turned around, watched Takashi's departing figure, stomped her foot angrily, and muttered, "He's such a stingy guy, he won't even give me his number."

Her companions sensed something was wrong and immediately gathered around.

"What happened? Did he refuse?"

"Ignore him, let's go play together."

With encouragement from her two friends, the girl quickly cheered up and put the matter out of her mind.

If the flirting attempt fails, so be it. The other person is stingy. I'll just go have some fun and vent my frustration.

Takashi didn't pay any attention to the girl behind him because he was being approached again, and this time the person who approached him left him speechless—it was the legendary Shibuya Gyaru.

Two girls dressed like Black people surrounded him, excitedly wanting to exchange numbers with him.

Takashi suddenly realized that being too charming wasn't a good thing; these girls were looking at him like they wanted to devour him.

Boys should take good care of themselves when they go out.

Finally, Takashi managed to get rid of the two girls.

Takashi was speechless. He had never seen such shameless girls. The two girls clung to him like glue, refusing to give up even after he refused. Takashi finally understood what it felt like to be relentlessly pestered.

Getting rid of those two delinquent hot girls made Takashi feel even more tired than his job.

Takashi wondered if wearing a mask would make things better.

At that moment, Takashi heard a familiar voice.

"I've told you several times, you two should stop bothering me."

The voice sounded familiar. Takashi stopped and turned around. He saw a girl leaning against the wall, surrounded by two blond men. The girl looked impatient.

It was someone I knew!

It was Suzuki Miyuki's roommate. Although they had only met once, Takashi still remembered her.

It's obvious that the other party is currently being held up.

Without thinking twice, Takashi turned around and walked towards them. As he got closer, he could hear them talking.

"What's wrong with that? We can all go out and have some fun together. It's more fun when there are more people."

"When you're out having fun, you should make some good friends. You're so pretty, let's hang out together."

"I've already told you two to stop bothering me!" Sasaki Hashino was almost going crazy. These two men were like leeches that she couldn't shake off. She had told them so many times and refused them so many times, but they still had that same grinning face.

If she hadn't been rational, she would have wanted to punch him in the face. What era is this? Does he still think he can win a girl's heart by clinging to her like a leech?

Finally, Nozomi Sasaki couldn't take it anymore: "If you follow me any further, I'll call the police!"

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately shut up, their expressions suddenly turning ferocious.

"You bitch, can't you listen to reason? Do you have to force us to fight? You're coming with me today no matter what!"

The other person's behavior suddenly became even more thuggish, and Sasaki Hashino was startled, only to see a hand reaching out to grab her.

Just then, a hand reached out from the side and slapped the other person's hand away.

This unexpected turn of events left everyone stunned.

Chapter 51 Hero Saves the Beauty

Everyone turned around and saw a young man standing in front of them, calmly looking at them.

The boy shone brightly in the sunlight; his handsome face and unique charisma were breathtaking.

Sasaki Hashino was incredibly surprised. Where did this handsome guy come from? After looking him over carefully, she felt like she had seen him somewhere before.

Suddenly, she remembered that this was Meixue's colleague, the one who escorted Meixue home that night.

It was just a brief farewell back then, but looking at him closely today, I find him to be incredibly handsome. How can a man be so good-looking?

The two men's faces darkened, filled with rage.

This guy actually dared to steal their prey!

One of them shouted, "What are you doing? We were the ones who set our sights on this woman first!"

Takashi calmly said, "Talk is talk, but don't get physical."

As he spoke, Takashi had already grabbed Sasaki Hashino's arm and shielded her behind him, the movement incredibly natural.

Before the two could react, Sasaki Hashino had already hidden behind Takashi. When she realized what was happening, she immediately smiled. Compared to the two thugs, this handsome young man in front of her was much safer and more reliable.

The two were furious when they saw that the other had taken "their person".

"You brat, trying to steal our people? You're asking for it!"

As he spoke, his fist came crashing down on Takashi's face.

But before it could even touch, a hand had already grabbed the fist and stopped it.

The other party was stunned for a moment, not expecting Takashi to react so quickly.

At that moment, Takashi clenched his fist, and the sound of bones grinding together was heard. The other person immediately screamed in agony, as if his hand was about to be crushed. Intense pain swept through his brain, and his body almost collapsed to his knees.

His companion realized what was happening and shouted, "Let him go!"

As he spoke, his fist came crashing down on Takashi.

At that moment, Takashi flipped his hand and flung the man he had grabbed away like trash, knocking his companion to the ground.

The two were thrown out, rolled on the ground, and then came to a stop.

The two struggled to their feet, looking at Takashi with horrified expressions. The next moment, they turned around and ran away as fast as they could.

This kind of person bullies the weak and fears the strong. It's obvious that this young man is not someone to be trifled with, so it's best to leave.

Seeing the two people fleeing in disarray, Sasaki Hashi Nozomi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Takashi, "Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't helped."

Takashi turned around, smiling, and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I was just walking down the street when these two guys suddenly came up to me and started talking to me. They're like leeches, I can't shake them off, they're so annoying," Nozomi Sasaki couldn't help but complain.

Takashi couldn't help but nod: "Indeed, I feel the same way."

"Oh right, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. My name is Sasaki Hashino." Sasaki Hashino snapped out of her reverie and greeted him with a smile.

"I'm Kitahara Takashi, and I work at the same convenience store as Suzuki-senpai."

Sasaki Hashi Nozomi said with a smile, "Miyuki is very safe with such a reliable colleague."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two said their goodbyes and went home.

On his way, Takashi even bought a mask, and after wearing it, he encountered far fewer problems.

However, when they got home, Aunt Reiko asked curiously, "Takashi, why are you wearing a mask? Do you have a cold?"

“Wearing a mask will save you some trouble,” Takashi said, taking off his mask.

"What trouble?" Aunt Lingzi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Kitahara Takashi then recounted what had happened that day.

"Being hit on by girls from other schools? That's a good thing, it means you're popular," Aunt Lingzi said with a smile.

“These are too early for me,” Takashi said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"Why are you talking so old-fashioned? Young people should be more lively, make more friends, and meet more girls. I'm very open-minded," Aunt Reiko said with a smile. "If Takashi wants to have a girlfriend, I have no objection."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Reiko was so open-minded. Takashi just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, after returning home, Nozomi Sasaki kept thinking about Takashi Kitahara's appearance. Feeling touched, she suddenly had an inspiration and decided to draw Takashi Kitahara's appearance.

Nozomi Sasaki studied fine arts in university. She is very good at drawing and has a solid foundation. She also works part-time as an art teacher at a training institution.
