"It's not like I care about rumors" I said passing by him
I walked to my class but as I was about to open the door I heard whispers
"No waaay! Shiroi got a boyfriend!!"
"Yeah yeah! I see him taking her to school everyday"
"Doesn't she hate guys?"
"I guess she's the type to get attached to elder guys"
"… Maybe because she's an orphan … like … having a father complex or something"
"She's an orphan! I didn't know that …"
…………
After the last part I couldn't hold my annoyance and rage anymore …
I opened the door forcefully shouting: "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS PEOPLE! STOP STICKING YOUR NOSE IN OTHERS' LIFE ---"
Just then the teacher got in "is something wrong Tanaka san?"
"Ah … no … it's nothing …" I replied going to my seat
So that's the rumor he was talking about …
At the end of the school day Keita was standing beside the gate again
"Who's that guy?" He asked
I ignored him …
As I was about to continue my way he grabbed my arm "answer me!"
I lookd at him coldly saying: "you're no longer my boyfriend you know … so you have no right to ask"
I took his hand away and left entering Naoki's car
"Hey Shiroi ~ how was your day?"
"Great"
Though it was nowhere near great but I don't want him to get worried
A little while later his phone started ringing … he looked at the screen for moments before picking it up …
After a long silence he sighed "……… okay okay I'm coming … I just …… nevermind"
"What is it?"
"An annoying friend of mine want to hang out and … I'm a bit busy" he answered
"I see …"
He looked so serious that I don't think it's something as simple as that … but I believe him anyway
He took me to my apartment then left …
I entered and spent about two hours there doing my homeworks and revising my lessons
After that I left heading to the bakery
"Pfffft what's with that!" as soon as I entered I bursted out laughing
Emi answered : "It's the sword guy daay ~"
"Nee nee doesn't he look cool ~ ?" she said talking about Yuto
"Cool !! That ogre looks like a knight from the ancient times!" I laughed at him
"Shut the hell up you midget!"
Ahahaha I bet he's extremely embarrassed … I dunno why but it's fun seeing him like that ~
Emi put her hand on my shoulder "okaay now it's your turn Shi chan ~"
"My turn?"
"Yep ~ we all have to dress up as a sword guy today as a sign of appreciation for our female customers … there will be a voting board infront of the entrance for the [hottest sword guy] also each customer will be given a star that they give for one of us and the one who gets the most stars and votes will be rewarded by the bakery manager with extra money or other special features"
It's a bit weird but I guess it doesn't sound that bad … unlike the customs day
She showed me some costumes and I chose one of them then tried it … it was a black shirt and trousers with light brown adornments , a belt of the same color and a white vestment over it … I guess I like it
She also chose one that was more colorful
We went out and opened the bakery as girls started fangirling
"Kyaaaaa Shiroi sama you look so attractiiiive"
"Ahh I'm falling in love ~"
"Oh my goood I wish you were really a guy"
I didn't know that would work …
"Okay ladies what is your order ~ ?"
Oh … unexpectedly I sound cool as a guy …
They all started ordering nonstop but I managed to write them all … heh heh that ogre would see the real hell with all of that
"Ah Shi chan I forgot to tell you that work is individual for today … which means you'll be the one who take orders, make them and deliver them" Emi informed me
Oh damn …
Despite of the shock, I continued to act cool "okay ladies see you later ~"
I went to the kitchen and started cooking then serving them when I heard some shouting
I went to see what's going on … there was a girl arguing with Emi
"That's NOT what I ordered! What a bad service! I wanna talk to the bakery manager!"
I headed towards her with my bishounen (pretty boy) face
"Calm down my lady … he is new here … I will take care of everything instead and make sure that you get your order with a discount too ~"
I smiled adding: "So what was your order?"
"S-Strawberry cheesecake" she answered while staring at me
"Understood … it'll be ready in the speed of light"
I said then headed to the kitchen with Emi … "um … sorry Emi … I didn't mean to take your custo---"
She interrupted me with a smile : "don't apologize Shi chan you saved me … I didn't know what to do"
I made it then served it to her … fortunately she was pleased with it
At the end of the day the manager came to see the result of the hottest sword guy
We checked the board and all the customers were obviously happy about the event …
Then the manager counted the stars on our costumes as Yuto had the "I'm the winner with no doubts" expression
He said: "46 stars"
He moved to Emi and said "39 stars"
Then it was my turn he counted mine "50 stars"
Wow ! What an unexpected number!
I looked at Yuto with a smirk "good luck next year ~ you loser ogre ~"
"Ugh …… If it wasn't for that argument I would have been the winner! … heh enjoy your win 'cause it'll definitely be the last one"
The bakery manager looked at me saying: "Tanaka san please meet me tomorrow to discuss your prize"
"Okay"
So at the end I guess it really was … a great day
