At this moment, another person burst in.
"Ryuto-sama has already said it's not convenient," Hiyori said sternly, but it was really helpful to have her here.
The enchanting middle-aged woman turned her gaze towards Hiyori, her eyes widening.
"Young girl, don't interfere with my affairs."
Hey, hey, it seems like the other party is getting annoyed. Looking at Hiyori's posture, she seems ready to take action. Uh-oh, the things here look expensive. We can't afford to go bankrupt. Moreover, it seems like Ryuto can already see tomorrow's headlines.
(Last night at a bar in the city, two women got into a fight, resulting in one middle-aged woman being injured. After the police investigation, it was revealed that a male student from Kanagawa High School was the instigator, his name is...)
No matter how you look at it, it seems like I'm involved in this. This means I'll become a celebrity, no thanks. I'd rather not become that kind of famous person.
Just when Ryuto was about to despair, another voice chimed in.
"Sorry, this guest is here to see me."
Ryuto couldn't help but turn his head to see who was speaking. It was a woman wearing a staff uniform, none other than Seto Sari, the target of Ryuto's undercover investigation. Although she was dressed differently, it was definitely her. It seems like the rumors at school were true, Seto Sari is really here.
Although Seto Sari said that, the enchanting middle-aged woman wasn't willing to give up. She continued to glare at Seto Sari, but it seemed to have no effect. No matter how much the middle-aged woman glared, Seto Sari remained calm and composed. Truly a model of composure, worthy of admiration...
After a few seconds of standoff, Seto Sari spoke with a slightly threatening tone, "Everyone is watching. Don't you want to make a scene?"
Hearing Seto Sari's words, the enchanting middle-aged woman looked around and realized that indeed everyone was watching. Of course, why wouldn't they be? Things almost got out of hand, how could nobody notice?
"Remember this."
The enchanting middle-aged woman left with a final threat, clearly dissatisfied.
As the middle-aged woman walked away, the attention of the others quickly shifted back to what they were doing. They continued to drink, play drinking games, and dance as if nothing had happened here. But of course, that was to be expected. The reason they looked over here earlier was simply out of curiosity, not out of concern. It would be even better if something happened, they wanted something interesting to witness. As for what would happen afterwards, they didn't care.
As mere bystanders, whatever happens has nothing to do with them. At most, it would become a topic for casual gossip after tea or mealtime, just that. As spectators, their only duty is to watch. They seem to be fulfilling their duty quite diligently, let's give them some applause.
"I really appreciate your help," Ryuto said to Seto Sari, expressing his gratitude.
Seto Sari remained calm as usual, not saying much and went back to her station. Since she is the target, they have to tail her... Wait, why does this declaration sound like that of a stalker?
And so, Ryuto and Hiyori followed Seto Sari and arrived at the bar counter. Seto Sari resumed her work as a bartender. Damn, she's so cool. This is going to be an extraordinary tempo.
