As we were going to the train station, all of a sudden, a car stopped in front of us.
It’s a familiar car and it’s sothing that passed my mind earlier. It was the sa black that I rode in last Tuesday.
If Mizuki was there, not seeing her car was kind of strange. As it turned out, it was outside. Perhaps making rounds in our neighborhood or parked sowhere near but I failed to notice it when I arrived with Nami and the others earlier.
Confused that a car stopped in front of us, Miyako, Chii and Eimi that were walking with all reflexively hid behind and the sa as them, my body reacted instinctively to beco their shield, hiding them all behind .
Although there’s little to no possibility that the car wasn’t being driven by Mizuki’s chauffeur, Suzuki-san, it’s better to be prepared than regret it.
While the three clutched onto my sleeves, the window from the driver’s seat rolled down.
And as expected, there’s Suzuki-san wearing sothing like a butler outfit with her hair tied behind her using a large white ribbon.
“Suzuki-san.” I relaxed and greeted her with a smile, just like always.
And upon noticing how I casually greeted the driver, the three behind heaved a sigh of relief and also bowed slightly to her.
However, just like last Tuesday, I was t with Suzuki-san’s silence. This was just like her. If it’s not about Mizuki or Mizuki wasn’t our topic, it would be hard to hear her words.
After a while, the sound of the car doors’ locks rang out. Following that, Suzuki-san stared straight at and gestured using her eyes to hop inside the car.
“Is it Mizuki’s order?” I curiously asked. But considering she’s her personal chauffeur, that should only be the case. That girl was busily talking with Haruko and Shizu when I left but she still didn’t forget to be this considerate towards .
Suzuki responded with a nod and repeated her gesture. She’s going to drive us towards our destination, skipping the hassle of riding the train.
“Alright. Thank you, Suzuki-san.” I bowed towards her and urged the three girls to enter the backseat while I took the passenger’s seat.
As soon as we settled ourselves inside and closed the door, my nose was imdiately filled with Mizuki’s familiar scent and... although it’s faint, Suzuki-san’s scent also wafted over to when she slightly moved to fix the rearview mirror.
Perhaps, waiting for my instruction as to where we would go, Suzuki-san kept her eyes to the front with both of her hands gripping the wheel without accelerating it.
Before telling her, I pulled out my phone and contacted Mizuki via video call. As soon as her face flashed on the screen and her voice echoed inside the car, Suzuki-san who was just waiting straightened her back as if waiting for her young miss’s instruction.
“You still haven’t left? Suzuki, follow Ruki’s instructions, alright? After you’re done, go back here and join .” Mizuki first addressed but when she saw Suzuki-san at the side, the noble lady gracefully gave her order.
“Understood, young miss.” Suzuki imdiately answered. “Where to, Onoda-sama?”
Upon hearing Suzuki-san speaking, the three girls behind had a look of surprise on their faces.
Well, they thought they wouldn’t hear her talking but just by hearing Mizuki, she imdiately prepared herself.
That’s how loyal she was to her.
I talked for a bit to Mizuki first and those next to her who bid us take care before instructing Suzuki-san to drop us near the train station at that part of the city where the Boxing Gym was located.
And due to this, our trip beca smooth sailing. Eimi, Chii and Miyako would sotis reach for my hand to have look at them or have join their conversation while Suzuki-san remained focused on driving.
Well, since I had already proven that it would be hard to converse with her if it’s not about Mizuki, I saved her the trouble of being bothered while she’s driving.
Instead of that, I conversed with the girl as they began questioning about whether I would focus on them during the Boxing Lessons. And to their dismay, I swiftly answered no.
Although a bit disappointed, the three found a certain point to rejoice about... and it’s the fact that they would be able to see being serious at work as an instructor.
Eimi even said that she would pass what she would learn to that cousin of hers. Chii bragged about how she already took on self-defense class when she decided to act as a gyaru but retracted it back instantly by saying that she didn’t learn enough and wanted to help her refresh her mory.
Lastly, Miyako reminisced about that ti that I also had her join the gym... although I ultimately told her to seduce Sena’s ex when it was ti to break their relationship, the girl refrained from rembering that ti and mostly focused on the ti when I was also at her side, helping her ease up with the exercises when Sena or that guy hadn’t arrived yet.
That’s a mory that I also sohow forgot. At that ti, although I wouldn’t co to the gym with her, I would always position myself near her. Whenever so other guy would try to ‘instruct’ her, I would butt in and offer the sa thing which she would smilingly agree to.
Well, those guys were just the sa age as us, so wannabe boxing enthusiasts. And because of what I always did, I probably earned most of their animosity.
There was that one ti wherein I was blocked by a group of them in hopes to teach a lesson.
But when their leader fell down unconscious when I tripped him over instead of responding with the sa straight jab he swung at , the rest of them called nas before running away, leaving that one guy behind.
The next day... half of them quit the Gym or did their best to stay out of my sight.
In any case, I also spent a lot of ti instructing Miyako back then... but in the end, I did that thing to her and that’s sothing that wouldn’t be erased just because I’ve been good to her.
“Whoa... You two go way back... I wish I also had that kind of sweet mory.” Chii exclaid before her voice trailed as her gaze focused on through the rearview mirror.
“... We’re in the sa year but I don’t think I managed to interact with you. Moreover, even though I was his desk neighbor, you had more interactions with her than .” Eimi also added as she looked back to our ti during middle school. “I also heard the rumors. Although I didn’t know that it was directed to you.”
“It’s fine. I already moved on from that past. It’s also my fault that it escalated to that. If I told him my troubles, this hateful guy would do everything to silence them... But I didn’t...” Miyako also looked at the rearview mirror and stared at .
After a while, her gaze relaxed before a smile ford from her lips, “I’m looking forward to today and our future... Even if he’s that hateful... I can’t deny how much I wanted to stay by his side.”
Upon hearing those words, Chii lowered her head and began contemplating. Eimi, on the other hand, agreed with her before reaching her hand towards , to have hold it for her.
At my side, as if she hadn’t heard anything, Suzuki-san remained focused on driving.
