Awakening

Ogata Yasuda said with a smile: “Nothing, I just want to invite you to see a movie with me.”

Take Asasei widened her eyes to look at him, “Are, are you asking me out?”

“Of course, other than you, is there anybody else?” read this at subudai11.com

“But, aren’t you....”

“What, you don’t like it?” Yasuda looked a bit disappointed.

Looking at Kazumi who was working at the innermost bookshelves, she lowered her head and said: “No, I like it.”

“That’s great. Tomorrow night at 8 o’clock, I’ll come to your place to pick you up. Oh, I don’t know where your place is, what should I do?”

“I’ll draw you a map, okay?”

“You are such a smart girl.”

Take Asasei’s ears blushed: “It’s nothing.”

When he slightly turned to look at the woman and found her face really became ugly, Yasuda’s heart was very pleased.

This was his new plan that he cooked up a couple of days ago. He found that although the woman usually showed a pair of indifferent eyes, she was actually very warm toward the girl called Take Asasei. So, he no longer used his previous methods of dealing with women, but instead looked for a breakthrough by using her friend.

This trick turned out to be more effective than what he previously imagined. Since he started to pursue Take Asasei, the woman’s face turned uglier by each day, which made him incomparably happy and thus dispelled his anger. He found that his battle of wits with the woman was far more amusing than to fool around with other women.

After work, in the bookstore’s staff locker room, Kazumi was changing clothes together with Take Asasei.

Watching the constantly humming and smiling Take Asasei, Kazumi paused for a moment and then said: “Little Asasei.”

“What’s the matter?” Take Asasei casually asked.

“That Ogata Yasuda is not a good person, you should not be deceived by him.”

Take Asasei’s movement stopped, and then she looked down and faintly said: “I thought Kazumi would be happy for me.”

Kazumi was a bit worried, “Little Asasei, you also saw how he got rid of that girl, right? He is just a playboy who likes to play with other people’s feeling, you....”

“That’s enough!” Take Asasei loudly cried out.

Following that cry, the room went into silent, the air also seemed to condense.

After quietly buttoning up the last button, Take Asasei lifted up her full of tears face and looked at her. “Kazumi, you’ve gone too far.” With that, she ran to the door, opened it, and rushed out of the locker room.

Does every woman who fall in love is going to be this foolish? Looking at her friend vigorously shut the door, Kazumi bitterly smiled.

After a while, remembering the smug look of Ogata Yasuda, a wave of intense anger welled up in Kazumi’s mind.

Bastard!

Next day at the campus, when Ogata Yasuda emerged from a building, an unexpected person that he expected stood before him.

Sure enough, she really came. However, she came much earlier than he expected.

“Can I talk with you?” Kazumi coldly looked at him.

“Who are you?” The beautiful girl on Ogata Yasuda’s side looked at her with hostility.

Kazumi did not bother with her; she just looked at the man and said: “I am waiting for your answer.”

Yasuda looked at her with a faint smile, “Are you looking for me?”

“Has anyone ever told you that you look disgusting when you put on airs?”

Yasuda was irritated, but he soon restrained his emotion. This woman always knows how to make me angry.

He stopped putting on airs anymore, “But it seems like the one who has the upper hand is me now. Therefore, I feel your tone should be a lot better than this. After all, the one who asked for a talk is you.”

“You remind me of those villains who hold the children and the woman hostage and then blackmail their family.”

“Just like doing a business, the businessman only look for the final result, and doesn’t care about the process.”

“It’s an impressive argument, I finally know the origin of the words lower than a beast.”

The girl cannot tolerate anymore and angrily called out, “Aren’t you a freshman? What are you trying to do? Don’t say it, I’ll say it for you. You must have been dumped by Yasuda, so you’re here to make trouble. Go home and look in the mirror, how could Yasuda likes a woman like you?”

Kazumi blankly looked at her, “You’re very noisy. Can you keep your mouth shut?”

“What, what did you say?” That girl’s face went white.

“If you continue to be noisy again, this playboy will shorten his fling-time with you and dump you in advance. Also, this guy, who you see as a prince charming, in my eyes, is inferior to a dog sh*t.”

With that, she turned to look at him, “If you don’t dare to come, that’s okay, after all, only a spineless man who is too coward to meet a defenseless woman.”

Yasuda showed a very interesting look, “Though I can refuse your request, I decide to accept your invitation. Set up a time for it.”

“Seven o’clock in the evening, at the cafe opposite the campus.”

“No problem, but I don’t agree with the place. How about this, let’s meet at the dining room in the movie theater where I set up a meeting with little Asasei. At the time, when I finish talking with you, I can directly watch the movie with little Asasei.” He deliberately brought Take Asasei’s name to see what kind of reaction she has.

But this time, Kazumi’s expression did not change one bit. She nonchalantly said: “So be it.” With that, she turned around and walked away.

“Wait a minute.” Yasuda suddenly called her.

“You want to renege on your words?” Kazumi looked back at him.

“Of course not. I just have one additional request.”

“What?”

“I want you to come wearing a skirt, and it must be a short skirt.”

Kazumi frowned, “Your so-called additional request has nothing to do with this, I refuse.”

“This request is indeed has nothing to do with this matter. But if you do not accept this request, I wouldn’t come to see you. Even if we meet, I would leave at once. You think about it.”

“You’re more boring than what I imagined.” Not wanting to see his face anymore, Kazumi turned around and left.

Ogata Yasuda showed a very proud look as he looked at her back.

“Yasuda, why are you doing this? Didn’t you say you only like me?” That girl realized that things weren’t as simple as she imagined so she hastily interrogated him.

Ogata Yasuda looked at her with cold eyes, “She said it right, you are really noisy.” With that, he broke free from her hands that were holding him and then walked away.

That girl looked at him with disbelief, and then loudly shouted from behind him: “Yasuda, what am I doing wrong?”
