I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER

45

Kiyomi gulps, sweat running down her face as she notices Takemichi's dark expression. She had never seen him like this before, but when she thinks of Hinata, her courage returns and she clenches her fist.

"You... Apologize to Hina san!" Kiyomi yells at him, suppressing her nervousness.

Takemichi raises his brow. "Why would I? She's useless anyway," he said coldly to Kiyomi.

When Kiyomi heard what Takemichi said, her eyes widened in shock. She never imagined she'd hear those words from the man she admires the most.

"You...! So you're just using her?! What happened to you? You're never like this!" Kiyomi clenched her teeth.

"It has nothing to do with you... you're so annoying and loud," Takemichi stated blatantly.

"So you're like any other guy who uses women for their own amusement," she says before raising her hand and slapping Takemichi.

SLAP!

When Emma sees this, she covers her mouth in shock and sweat runs down the faces of the black dragon members.

Takemichi pauses for a moment to reflect on what has occurred. Yes, he was slapped in front of a large crowd.

"You're courting death," Takemichi says as he stands up.

Takemichi clenches his fist, preparing to punch Kiyomi in the face. Kiyomi closes her eyes and says, "Just don't hurt Hina san anymore!"

"As if I care about her."

Takemichi delivers a punch to Warad Kiyomi's face, but before his fist connects with her, he abruptly stops.

"Just kidding," Takemichi stated flatly.

Kiyomi, who was expecting pain, became perplexed when she heard what Takemichi said.

She slowly opened her eyes to see Takemichi smiling at her. "Huh? W-why didn't you punch me?" she asked, a tear forming in the corner of her eyes.

"There is no way I can hit a girl, and what I said earlier was just a joke; I was just testing you... I'm sorry," Takemichi comforted Kiyomi.

"H-huh? A joke? Then who is she?" she asks, pointing to Emma.

"She? She's my sister," Takemichi said with a close-eyed smile.

"////" 

"You! You're a scumbag!"

"Sorry"

"Despicable!"

"Sorry"

"Moron!"

"Sorry"

"Idiot!"

"Sorry"

"You dare to play with my heart?!" Kiyomi clenched her teeth.

"Don't be mad now because the owner said your meal is free, so order whatever you want," Takemichi said, still smiling at her.

Mama Kawata exclaimed angrily, "Brat!"

Kiyomi's stomach grumbles next. She blushed in embarrassment.

"Why don't you join us, Kiyomi san?" Emma asks Kiyomi.

Kiyomi looked at Emma, then down. "But I slapped Takemichi kun... aren't you mad at me?" Kiyomi asked, a sad tone in her voice.

"Not at all, in fact, if I hadn't noticed that Takemichi is just pretending, I would've slapped him myself," Emma smiled.
