“Please stop! I will call the police!”

“C’mon, just hang out with us a little bit.”

Ahh, why is this happening to me.

My ink ran out so I came out here to buy some but on my way back I got caught up by these three playboy-like men.

Maybe I got caught up with them because I went back home once and come out here again so it is already dark and that this is not a busy street.

Normally, when I got caught up in something like this, the opponent would back down immediately if I refused but today they won’t let me go even after I mentioned calling the police.

Even if I look around, everyone just passes us by and simply turns a blind eye.

If someone pretends to be my friend and call out to me, I could play along and get out of this situation but maybe since the opponents are three men, the people around me don’t want to get themselves in trouble……?

“Please stop! If you get any closer, I will really call the police!”

“It’s okay right, let’s hang out.”

“Yeah. You are alone anyway right? See, everyone pretending not to see us.”

Certainly, the people around us are pretending not to see what is happening here but that is not a reason for me to stop resisting.

When the men were trying to grab me and I made a loud voice in response, someone abruptly joins into our conversation.

“Ah! I finally caught up with you Reika-san. Here, the thing you asked for.”

I was surprised at the man who suddenly called out to me as if the three men weren’t even in his eyes. I thought for a moment that another man was trying to hit on me again but I changed my mind when I saw the content of the bag that was handed to me.

The contents of that bag that I requested from him supposedly was a Karaage Bento.

I immediately judged that this person is trying to help me from how he used the item he happened to has on hand and his wording.

I thought that his story of me asking him for a Karaage Bento was weird for a moment but I realized again that he was only doing that to help me.

Since he said that he finally caught up with me and that I asked him to look for that bento, I appropriately play along with him.

“I thought that I should go on ahead. Sorry that you have to look for it for me……”

“Likewise, I thought that I wasn’t being clear before you see. I’m glad that I managed to catch up with you since I was worried that you might have the wrong idea……..So, what do you guys want with her?’

“Wha……You…….! ……Tsk! It’s nothing.”

One of the men seemed like he was trying to say something to the man who came to save me but the most self-important man among them stopped him.

I was wondering why he is stopping him but when I look around, I see that the people who were turning a blind eye up until now are taking out their cameras.

I don’t really understand what is happening but I was pulled and left the scene with the man who saved me while the three playboys back down just like that.

“…….Whew, seriously…….they look away at the first sign of danger and take out their camera in a situation like this huh, what a world we live in………Oh, are you okay?”

After he pulled me along by hand for a while, the man turned around and talked to me when there weren’t many people around.

That was when I realized that the man who saved me was, Kamishiro Kousei, the model who was featured in the magazine I saw this morning.

“Um, yes, I’m okay. Thank you very much for helping me. ……….Uhh, Kamishiro Kousei-san?”

“No, you have the wrong person.”

However, contrary to my expectations,  he gave me a negative reply. Still, he looks just like the person from the magazine this morning, and above all, I now realized the reason the people back there took out their cameras.

“Eh? Uhh, but Uhm…”

“Well! Let’s get away from this place for the time being.”

I was being awkward since I didn’t expect such a quick denial and was prompted to keep walking.

“It would be one thing if it’s still daytime but it is almost 8 pm already, it’s dangerous to walk around alone at this time you know?”

He hit it where it hurts…….I normally wouldn’t go out when it’s already dark but there was something that I had to buy today.

That’s why I honestly tell him that.

“Uhh, I have something that I have to buy so……..”

“Ahh…..then it can’t be helped I guess……? So, did you already got what you need?”

“Yes, I was on my way back from buying it but I was called out, and…..the result was what you saw……”

I am not making any excuses since I don’t know what would happen to me if he didn’t save me back then.

While I was thinking that I can’t trouble him any more than this and decided to say goodbye to him and head home, his next words were something I didn’t expect.

“I see……which way are you going?”

“Eh?”

“If it’s not troubling you then I can walk you home. It would be troubling if you get entangled up with something again right.”

Certainly, my place is only a short distance from here but like the place I got caught up earlier, it was a place where there are not that many people around.

It would be safer if he could walk me home but is it okay for me to trouble him to such extent……..

“Umm, my place is straight down this street but Uhh, is it really okay?”

“Yeah, it shouldn’t be that far from my place after all.”

“ ! ! Thank you very much!”

I was wondering what I would do if he lives in the opposite direction but he simply gave me an affirmation without even a displeased look on his face.

I was so happy with that and loudly gave him my thanks.
