Chapter 194: [Exclusive Guard]

Chapter 194: [Exclusive Guard]

Angu Ogu arrived at the police station where I was undergoing questioning.

Everything seemed fine until...

<<Hey, why are you crying?>>

<<You fool, Iroha! Idiot! Uwaaaah!>>

Angu Ogu clung to my chest, wailing loudly.

Her face was a mess, wet with tears and a runny nose.

<<How much do you think I worried!? I was waiting at home, and then suddenly, I got a call from the police... I was horrified! And no matter how many times I called, I couldn't reach you!>>

<<Oh, sorry. My phone broke.>>

<<I imagined the worst! What if something happened to Iroha? I was... uwaaaah!>>

<<Oh, come on. There, there.>>

To comfort a crying child (at least in appearance), patting the head seemed to be the best approach.

At this point, it wouldn't be wise to discuss physical contact.

<<Uwaaaah! I'm so relieved you're safe! But you're hurt! I let Iroha go alone!>>

I chuckled.

Was she angry, worried, or relieved?

<<Your emotions are running a bit too high, don't you think?>>

<<Whose fault do you think that is?>>

As we exchanged these words, female customers or perhaps her friends appeared.

Had they also undergone questioning?

<<Oh, let me introduce you, Angu Ogu. She's the one who saved me from the robber.>>

<<Oh, really! Thank you for saving Iroha... huh?>>

Angu Ogu's movements stopped there.

The female customers also looked uneasy.

<<Is something wrong?>>

For some reason, Angu Ogu's expression turned stern.

Ah, so that's why they were upset.

Indeed, if my mother had been investigating my friends without permission, I might not feel great about it either.

However, I completely understand in my case. I was quite suspicious, to be honest.

And although Angu Ogu wouldn't know, I had been under suspicion from the start. So...

<<Iroha, you can't forgive this, right!? You can't let your rights be violated like this!?>>

<<Huh? I don't mind at all. Do as you please.>>

<<See! Isn't Iroha angry... or not!? Huh!? Are you really okay with this!?>>

I unintentionally ended up responding like a comedy duo.

Is it normal to be concerned about this?

<<Yeah, I really don't mind at all.>>

<<But, you know! There's privacy and stuff! You don't know what they've seen so far!?>>

<<Hmm. I'd be mad if they interrupted my streaming, but other than that? Oh, but there was one thing that annoyed me, too.>>

<<See! I knew it!>>

Angu Ogu urged me on, pushing my back.

I vented my dissatisfaction.

<<Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had, then when I went to see the live performance last time, I could have asked for a guardian role!>>

<<Is that what you're mad about!?>>

Because, if there had been a guardian role at the event I attended with Angu Ogu's invitation...

I wouldn't have missed the pre-show announcement because someone next to me struck up a conversation!

If she had been my escort, she must have been discreetly following me even back then.

I had thought she couldn't stray far from Angu Ogu's surroundings.

<<By the way, can I request transportation when I want to move alone in the future?>>

<<Um...>>

Unconsciously, I directed my gaze toward the Secret Service woman who had been pretending to be a female customer.

However, she had a somewhat troubled smile.

<<I'm sorry. I made a significant mistake in this incident, so...>>
