Chapter 30 - Troubled

Chapter 30 - Troubled


Kira was stupefied. He stared at the pretty boy in the samurai costume and his eyes narrowed. No word came out of his mouth and his eyes remained glued on the boy. He observed the boy's every move and he looked at him with razor-sharp eyes.


After a long while of simply staring at him, Kira finally confirmed that the boy was really her. Her height, her face, her complexion and the way that 'boy' moved was exactly like her. But the last thing that made Kira's doubts completely disappear was when he saw that mole on her nape. Tch! This squirrel…


At that moment, the puzzled Ken was looking at Kira and then at Rei and back again. He looked really surprised when he heard Rei say that that pretty boy was Zeri Kim.


"W-w-what did you say? He's… that boy is Zeri Kim? The same Zeri Kim that's Kira's girl?!" Ken finally burst.


"I believe it's her." Rei replied and Ken's eyes became even wider. He then looked at Kira to confirm it and when he saw how Kira was looking at him, Ken's shoulders dropped.


"Y-y-y-you mean, Zeri Kim is… Kira's girlfriend was a trap[1] all along?!!"


The world seemed to have halted as those words left Ken's mouth. Some of the girls who heard his sudden outburst even choked, while Kira and Rei looked at him with an eyes filled with nothing but disbelief. They were completely speechless.


After a moment, Kira stood up and then out of nowhere, Kira chopped Ken's head using his the side of his palm before he quietly left.


"Ouch!!" Ken looked like a troubled puppy as he looked at Rei. "Did I say something wrong?"


Rei could only sigh and ruffle the poor guy's hair.


"Haha, this is why I am always telling you to think first before speaking. Sigh… how could you even call Kira's adorable girlfriend a trap?" he said and he too stood up, paid for their food and left the café while Ken started biting his nails as he followed behind him.


Inside the car, Rei, who had just sat on the driver's seat, turned to Kira. It was already dark since they had spent hours inside.


"Are we leaving?" Rei asked and after a short silence, Kira gazed at the café as he replied.


"No, let's wait for her."


"Got it."


Everyone then fell quiet. Kira rested his face on his knuckles while his gaze remained glued at the entrance of the café. He was thinking, trying to figure out why was his squirrel was cosplaying as a boy. Was she always cross dressing like that? Why? Was it the café's demand or was it her choice?


Time passed and Kira thought about every possible reason he could and one potential reason he thought of was making him lose his calm. He suddenly looked troubled, as if he just thought of something so ridiculously lethal. He didn't even notice that hours had gone by until Ken yawned and finally broke the silence.


"Kira, it's nearly 10pm, why is she not coming out yet? She's a student like us but she works until this hour?" he asked and Kira finally snapped. He had also been thinking that a while ago.


"I think the cafe closes at ten. Let's wait a bit longer." Rei was the one who spoke and just as he said, after some minutes, they started closing the café. When the staff finally stepped out, all the three boys inside the car all searched for Zeri among the crowd.


"Err… where is she? I can't find her." Ken said and when he looked at the direction of Kira and Rei's eyes, he blinked his eyes because they were looking at a boy again. The boy was wearing a normal boy outfit and his hair was dyed brown.


"She's also wearing a boy outfit even outside the café? Now this is a surprise. What are we gonna do?" Rei said and Kira, whose face darkened again the moment he spotted her in a boy outfit, finally spoke.


"Follow her."
