Chapter 155
"Shout three times, Nico is a big idiot!?"
Hearing the masked man's words, Nico's expression stiffened instantly. She froze in place, staring at the masked man with a gaze that seemed to scream disbelief at what she had just heard.
"I... if I shout it, will you cancel your intention to rob me?"
"Correct. If you shout, I'll let you go! How about it? Am I not incredibly merciful?"
Hearing the masked man's words, Nico's face turned extremely dark. Merciful? Merciful my foot! I really want to take a knife and stab you to death!
There is a saying that someone in a difficult position must be willing to humble themselves.
Glancing toward her bag of money, Nico gnashed her teeth and used a very low voice to whisper the three sentences under her breath.
"Nico is a big idiot!"
"Nico is a big idiot!"
"Nico is a..."
After finishing the three sentences, Nico looked at the masked man very cautiously.
"Is that enough? I... I should be allowed to go back now, right?"
"No way, the voice was too small, I couldn't hear it!"
"Besides, your shout had no emotion at all. A failing grade!"
"You have to shout with feeling, understand? Use that tone you usually use when you're acting cute—the Moe style!"
Nico felt like she was on the verge of psychological trauma. She felt so oppressed she almost burst into tears.
Still had to shout with emotion?
Are you a demon sent by God to torture me?
I pray to God to immediately strike a bolt of lightning and strike this demon dead!!!!
Biting her thin lip, Nico tried her best to put on a smiling face.
"Nico is a big idiot!"
"Is this enough now?"
"This is a bit better, though unfortunately, it's still not as cute as your usual act. But whatever, as a grown man, I won't make things difficult for a little girl like you any further. I'll consider you a forced pass this time."
Hearing the masked man's words, Nico instantly felt overjoyed. She hugged her money bag tightly and prepared to flee immediately.
However, who would have thought that at that exact moment, the masked man would actually pull out his phone. He skillfully opened his contact list, found one of his friends, and made a voice call to that person. Suddenly, Nico realized her own phone was ringing.
She stared at the incoming call on her phone with a blank look, then looked at the masked man who was making the call. In Nico's mind, a realization suddenly emerged that left her completely confused.
"You... don't tell me you are..."
"You bastard, are you..."
"This acting is really exhausting, but I didn't expect you to be so easily scared, Nico. Can those three shouts of 'Nico is a big idiot' be considered blackmail material against you? My adorable online friend... Yazawa Nico-san?"
Takamine Mineo removed his mask, then looked at Nico with a bright smile.
Nico's face turned pitch black as she stared at Mineo!
The next second, she finally exploded!
"Bastard! You complete bastard!"
"How dare you try to scare me on purpose!"
"Mineo, you've really gone too far!"
"Did you come to Japan just to bully me?"
"I'm going to bite you to death, you jerk!!! I'm so angry!!"
Nico charged directly in front of Mineo, swinging her small fists and punching Mineo's chest repeatedly.
A few minutes later, Nico sat on a park bench panting for breath out of anger, while Mineo sat beside her. Mineo looked at Nico and gave a resigned smile:
"Alright, I've already apologized, and I've coaxed you. Can we stop being angry? I traveled a very long distance from a far-off place just to give you a surprise, Nico. If you don't feel touched, that's fine, but hitting me directly with those fists is a bit much!"
Hearing Mineo's words, Nico gnashed her teeth and said fiercely:
"I really want to beat you to death, you jerk. You traveled all the way to Tokyo just to give me a surprise? Do you know how scared I was just now? I... I almost called the police! Besides, you jerk, you recognized me back at the convenience store, didn't you? Everything you said at the beginning was also done to mess with me?"
"Do you know what I was thinking in the shop? If it wasn't for my good personality, I really would have smashed all the tomatoes on the shelf into your face! Do you think I'm that easy to bully?"
"Haven't I already admitted I was wrong? Look, regardless, I did a huge transaction at your shop. You've already earned that commission, so at the very least, you should treat me to a meal, right? My requirements aren't high—find a five-star restaurant for a big feast, and grab two bottles of red wine at random."
Hearing Mineo's words, Nico immediately hugged her envelope of money tightly.
"Don't even hope for it, you jerk. This is commission I earned with my own ability. I'm not going to treat a bastard like you to a meal."
At this point, Nico suddenly remembered something. She looked at Mineo with a bit of caution.
"You, buying so many things at the shop, is it really okay? Don't tell me you really did it purely to help my sales. If it's really not possible, cancel the order for those items immediately. Even if you have money, you shouldn't throw it away like that."
"Why should I cancel it? If I cancel, won't your commission disappear?"
Mineo looked at Nico, smiled and said:
"Actually, the items I bought do have a use. As for the purpose, you don't need to worry about that."
"Typical nouveau riche. If you want to throw your money away, go ahead. Just don't let a day come where you go bankrupt and end up as a beggar on the streets, because no one will care about you."
"If I go bankrupt, I'll go to your house to sponge off your food and drinks, Nico."
"How dare you! If you dare come, I'll beat you until you leave."
After bickering for a few sentences with Mineo, Nico finally asked:
"Mineo, you haven't chatted with me for about a month. Why did you suddenly think of coming to Tokyo to see me these past few days? You must have other business to take care of, right?"
