She herself felt that her relationship with Hachisuka Hidemichi was becoming increasingly twisted.
"I think so too, lol," Follower Number One nudged Follower Number Two with her backside. "Reina-chan, do you have Hayato-kun's contact info? We could go hang out with him, lololol~~~"
"Hey, that's a bit far-fetched..."
Although she knew Follower Number One was joking, Follower Number Two couldn't help but scoff coolly.
Sure enough, after that name was mentioned, Kurashiki Reina's expression changed.
But before she could speak, her phone rang.
Kurashiki Reina and the two others were currently sitting in the classroom next door. Because of the conference, this classroom was being used as a "resting area." Now that the conference was nearing its end, only the three of them remained in this area.
Kurashiki Reina had been scrolling through Twitter earlier, placing her phone on the adjacent desk while talking to Follower Number Two.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Follower Number One immediately became excited.
"What, what? Could it be Hayato-kun, lolololol?"
Follower Number Two was closer to the phone and leaned over to look.
"It's your mom."
Follower Number One: "Wait, why are you insulting me?"
Follower Number Two: "No, what I mean is, it's Reina's mom."
"Not only are you insulting me, but you're insulting Reina too? Not only is your chest big, but your guts are big too!" Follower Number One said.
Kurashiki Reina was uncomfortable with such vulgar language. She frowned and picked up her phone to check.
Ah, it really was her mother.
Calling.
"Shut up."
Kurashiki Reina stopped the two girls' joking. She answered the phone: "...Hello?"
"Reina? Are you home yet?" Kurashiki Reika's tone was as severe as ever.
"Not yet, I have something I need to go out for later."
The conversation between Kurashiki Reina and her mother, Kurashiki Reika, lacked any sense of intimacy. Rather than dealing with her "mother," the two Followers thought it sounded more like communicating with a "superior."
It was slightly terrifying in its seriousness.
"Where are you going?"
"...A date."
"With whom?" Kurashiki Reika asked, then answered her own question: "You haven't broken up with that Bee Arrow yet?"
"..."
"Break up quickly. He doesn't seem like a good man."
"..."
Kurashiki Reina remained silent, so Kurashiki Reika took it as her assent and changed the subject: "Tell me the full story of why you assaulted the middle school student."
Kurashiki Reina was startled.
That incident had certainly happened, but she didn't know how her mother had found out.
But she didn't ask.
Kurashiki Reika was omnipotent; if she wanted to, she could monitor her daughter constantly.
Thinking this, Kurashiki Reina gave a self-deprecating smile, but Kurashiki Reika provided the answer.
"They came looking for me."
Hearing this, Kurashiki Reina let out a "tsk." Kurashiki Reika sounded impatient on the other end: "Stop clicking your tongue and recount the incident in detail."
Although Kurashiki Reina was reluctant, she recounted the entire incident of the "perverted brat" she had encountered the day before.
"...So, he went directly to you? What did he want to do?" Finally, Kurashiki Reina asked.
"Reina, in the future, use your brain more when you do things. Don't act without thinking!" But Kurashiki Reika did not answer Reina, but directly lectured her.
Kurashiki Reina bit her lip and did not ask again.
Her mother would only ever answer the questions she wanted to answer. As for the others, it was useless no matter how many times she asked.
Kurashiki Reina had understood this principle since she was a child.
"As for that kid's matter, you don't need to worry about it," Kurashiki Reika said indifferently. If the 'evil deeds' that the kid wanted to commit were spoken aloud, Kurashiki Reina was afraid it would dirty her own mouth, so she did not tell her daughter. She only admonished, "Don't always think of resorting to fists and feet against people in the future. This matter is not your fault, but doing so will inevitably give others something to talk about!"
Kurashiki Reina subconsciously wanted to click her tongue.
But remembering her mother's words just now, she didn't dare to make that 'tsk' sound, only secretly cursed in her heart: It's not my fault, yet you're still lecturing me...
There was some resentment in her eyes.
Then, Kurashiki Reika hesitated for a moment and asked again:
"Hayato…you should know this person, right?"
