You Will Regret This Ichinose! [192]

“Uh, Masumi, calm down. I can explain.”

Sweat poured down Uesugi Gen’s face, but he stubbornly refused to surrender.

“Oh~?”

Kamuro Masumi let out a slow, drawn-out chuckle, her expression filled with dangerous amusement.

“I’d love to hear how you plan to wriggle your way out of this. If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation today…”

Her face instantly darkened, her voice turning ice-cold.

“I’ll kick you to death right here.”

Masumi… how do you manage to say such chilling words with that warm 37-degree mouth of yours?

Uesugi Gen was in disbelief.

If she actually went through with it, the school rumor mill would surely explode tomorrow with something along the lines of: “Student Council President deceives innocent girl, gets publicly beaten to a pulp.”

“Uh…”

“Hurry up! Stop looking around, and quit rolling your eyes all over the place!”

Kamuro Masumi advanced step by step, giving him no chance to escape.

At that moment, Uesugi Gen’s mind raced at full speed. Then, suddenly, his eyes lit up. He had it!

“Arisu, Arisu told me!”

Yes, that was it. Technically speaking, Uesugi Gen wasn’t supposed to know about this at all. That meant the only explanation was that a third party had told him. And besides the two of them, the only other person who knew about Kamuro Masumi’s shoplifting habits… was Sakayanagi Arisu.

“Tch…”

Kamuro Masumi clicked her tongue in irritation, realizing that Uesugi Gen had narrowly escaped disaster.

As for why she didn’t just go confirm this with Sakayanagi? Please. Anyone with half a brain could guess which side that sadistic woman would take.

“I was just chatting with Arisu one time, and she casually mentioned it.”

Uesugi Gen wiped the sweat off his forehead and carefully pried Kamuro Masumi’s hands off his collar. Then, putting on a righteous facade, he declared:

“That damn bastard… how dare he threaten my Masumi? Just let me catch him—I’ll make sure he regrets it.”

“Oh, absolutely.”

Kamuro Masumi shot him a cold, sharp smile.

“I’d love to catch him too. He’d be in so much trouble.”

Cough, cough.

Uesugi Gen awkwardly looked away and quickly changed the subject.

“Look! He’s going into that restaurant.”

Kamuro Masumi turned to check—and sure enough, Kanzaki Ryuji had just stepped into a Western-style restaurant.

“A Western restaurant…”

Uesugi Gen rubbed his chin, then suddenly grinned with excitement.

“Could he be meeting someone for dinner?”

Kamuro Masumi’s previously annoyed expression was immediately replaced by a glint of curiosity.

If that’s the case… this could be some serious gossip material!

In an instant, her instincts as a professional paparazzo kicked in. She completely forgot about the little interrogation from earlier and grabbed Uesugi Gen, dragging him forward.

“Come on, come on! We have to see who he’s meeting!”

Uesugi Gen felt a little embarrassed watching Masumi’s eyes sparkle with enthusiasm.

Why does she seem even more excited about this than I am?

Outside the restaurant’s glass window, two sneaky-looking heads carefully peeked inside.

“Masumi, don’t push! Move over a little.”

“You move. You’re blocking my view.”

After several seconds of elbowing and jostling, the two finally paused and looked at each other.

“Uh… did you see anything?”

Uesugi Gen was the first to break the silence.

“No. You?”

“Also nothing.”

Uesugi Gen & Kamuro Masumi: “……”

For a moment, an awkward silence settled between them.

“Sigh…”

Both of them hung their heads and let out a heavy sigh at the same time.

“No way! We’ve come this far, the truth is right in front of us! We can’t give up now!”

Kamuro Masumi quickly regained her fighting spirit, clenching her fists with determination, eyes burning with passion. She turned to Uesugi Gen and declared:

“You stay here. I’ll go inside, take a video, and send it to you.”

Then she confidently strode toward the entrance.

SLAP!

Kamuro Masumi looked down and saw a shameless creature clinging to her leg.

It was already December. Unlike before, her pale, slender legs were now wrapped in sheer tights, which subtly revealed the outline of her knees and skin beneath. It gave off a mysterious, hazy beauty—like the moon hidden behind clouds.

“Don’t leave me behind, Masumi! I also want to witness this firsthand!”

Uesugi Gen, hugging her leg tightly and shamelessly taking advantage of the situation, wailed pitifully.

“Let go! You’re the Student Council President! Everyone in this school knows who you are! If you can’t go inside, why are you stopping me from going?!”

Kamuro Masumi, mildly irritated, reached out and tugged at his cheeks.

“NO!”

“Unless you can pull off some Hollywood-level disguise, you’re definitely going to get spotted. So just let go already.”

“Something like that is impossi—huh?”

Uesugi Gen suddenly turned his head, eyes landing on a nearby clothing store.

…Actually, maybe it was possible.

“Let’s go!”

Without another word, he grabbed Kamuro Masumi and sprinted toward the store.

“This is your problem! Why are you dragging me along?!”

“I need a second opinion! Hurry up—time is of the essence!”

“Tch…”

Kamuro Masumi clicked her tongue in frustration again.

…

Inside the clothing store, a smiling employee greeted them politely.

“Welcome! How may I—”

But before they could finish, the two stormed in like reckless street racers blowing past a red light.

Uesugi Gen quickly scanned the store and locked onto his target—a bright red wig.

In one swift motion, he snatched it up and plopped it onto his head, transforming into Delinquent #3 (Red-Haired Variant). He studied his reflection in the mirror, checking for flaws.

Then, he grabbed a pair of glasses as well and stole a glance at Kamuro Masumi—who was sitting with her arms crossed, one leg casually bouncing, clearly waiting to be entertained.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick something!”

“I don’t need a disguise. I’m not the one tailing him with shady motives.”

Kamuro Masumi shrugged nonchalantly.

“You sure about that?”

Uesugi Gen’s gaze flicked down to her small, polished leather shoes.

“Those shoes will make a lot of noise on the restaurant’s floor. You should pick something quieter. Or…”

He paused, then smirked teasingly.

“Do you want me to help you change?”

The foot that had been swinging back and forth froze instantly. Kamuro Masumi’s face turned slightly pink, and she quickly shot back:

“F-Fine! Just don’t touch me! I’ll do it myself!”

Then, she swiftly picked out a pair of softer shoes.

A few minutes later, both of them had fully transformed.

“Looks good enough.”

Uesugi Gen nodded in satisfaction at his reflection.

The store clerk, still wearing a professional smile, rubbed their hands together.

“Thank you for your patronage! That’ll be—”

But before they could finish, the two had already bolted out of the store at full speed.

The clerk’s smile froze, their head slowly turning in the direction the duo had fled, their expression blank with shock.

D-Did they just…?

At that moment, Uesugi Gen’s voice drifted back.

“Just send the bill to the Student Council!”
