Nino glanced at the earring on Hakuto's earlobe. It was feather-shaped, with a string of logos printed on it, but the font was too small for Nino to make out.
Just thinking about how someone else had gotten ahead of her for the "first time" made Nino furious!
"Shall we go? Accompany me for a walk?"
"Huh? My time is very precious..."
In truth, Hakuto didn't have anything urgent at the moment, but he was afraid that at any moment, a syringe might suddenly jab into his body.
Hakuto didn't want Nino to distract him. After these two months passed, not to mention going shopping — he could even walk across the entire earth if he wanted to.
"You're really going to refuse a beautiful girl? How unromantic."
"I don't want to either... It's just that there are some things going on these few months..."
Hakuto rarely turned down requests from his clients, except for that one time when Utaha had asked him to visit her room.
Because refusing a request could potentially hinder future collaborations.
But now, when even his life was at risk, any so-called "hindrance" could be set aside.
Hakuto wasn't a robot — not someone who would risk his life just for money.
"What do you mean?"
"Something's up these few months, let's talk about it later..."
Hakuto picked up a helmet beside him and then lightly tapped Nino's forehead with his finger.
"Later? Who knows if you're just making empty promises."
"I don't eat empty promises, nor do I make them," Hakuto said while placing the helmet on Nino's head.
"Tch, who knows... Huh? What are you doing?"
"Sending you home. Although I can't take you shopping, at least I can take you home."
"Sending me home? But why put a helmet on me?"
Nino caught a whiff of Hakuto's unique scent inside the helmet, and her face flushed a little.
Hearing her question, Hakuto pointed toward the motorcycle parked by the roadside not far away.
"Interested in riding with an unlicensed driver like me?"
Hakuto said with a grin, tapping Nino's helmet with his index finger.
Nino looked at the black motorcycle nearby. Its unique curves, the perfect color scheme — it felt like it was made just for her heart.
"Shiratori... you bought this?"
"A rich lady who's supporting me gave it to me..." Hakuto teased as he inserted the key.
"Supporting? Rich lady?"
Nino knew Hakuto was joking, so she played along.
"Then return it. I'll go buy you one that's even better!"
"Huh? Nino, are you trying to support me?"
Hakuto feigned surprise at her words.
"Huh? I just don't want you to go astray at such a young age."
"If Nino supports me, isn't that not going astray?"
"I..."
Nino quickly pulled down the helmet's visor, stammering, "How can you call that support? That's just a salary... Yeah! Salary."
"Then I'll be waiting for the day when Boss Nino pays me..."
Hakuto chuckled, "By then, not just shopping — even if you want to walk across the entire earth, it's no problem."
"Then wait obediently."
"Alright... I'll wait."
Hakuto nodded. "Sit tight, we're off."
Maybe because he had experienced death once in the future, Hakuto's mood now was quite relaxed.
Besides, he wasn't planning on keeping in touch with people around him for the next few months anyway.
Since there would be no contact, it didn't hurt to say a few nice words now.
"Shiratori! Can you ride faster?"
"Huh? Young lady, if I go any faster, the traffic police will arrest me."
On the road, Hakuto felt that Nino's taste for bad boys was not without reason.
After all, it was rare for a girl to enjoy the thrill of speeding.
After about twenty minutes, Hakuto dropped Nino off at the entrance of the Nakano family's apartment.
"My dear Miss Second Daughter, you're really not afraid that I'll crash and kill you, huh?"
"It's fine, isn't it?"
