As soon as Asakura got out of the car he went straight for the black vehicle.
During the entire way there, he kept thinking about the possibilities of this being just a simple case of a stalker acting out. But something else was nagging at the back of his mind. It just wouldn’t let him calm down.
Ever since that meeting with his uncle Shibata, Asakura kept having a bad premonition. And remembering Sato’s previous statement about being followed and watched, it seemed all the more probable that this was something more than just a simple person chasing after his idol.
With these thoughts in mind, Asakura advanced slowly. The sound of his steady footsteps resounded in the quiet environment.
As he walked, Asakura kept glancing at his surroundings, careful not to miss any movement or sound. All his senses were heightened and he felt the tingle of adrenaline slowly coursing through his body.
When he got in front of the black car, his steps halted. Asakura turned his body to face the vehicle and, a second later, a loud ‘BANG’ exploded in the underground parking lot. The sound reverberated against the cement walls, shattering the eerie silence into pieces.
Asakura was bent over the hood of the car, both palms pressing down on the cold metal. If one would look carefully, they could see small dents right next to his hands.
After standing like that for a moment, Asakura opened his mouth to speak. His voice echoed like the gong before a battle, booming and carrying menacing vibes.
“Either you come out yourselves, or I get you out. If it’s the former, we might be able to talk amiably. But if it’s the latter… things won’t end prettily.”
Almost half a minute passed without a sound or a movement coming from inside the car. Just when Asakura was about to lose his patience, the doors slowly opened, and two people emerged from the car.
Seeing the two figures, Asakura blinked in surprise. The moment he had gotten in front of the car, he already knew there were two people inside. But what shocked him the most wasn’t the number of stalkers, but their faces. To his astonishment, these two people were very familiar.
“You… What are you two doing here?” Asakura asked, his voice carrying deep traces of bewilderment.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“Big Brother Ryuu!” one of the men cried out, hurrying towards Asakura as if he had seen his savior. The man gave such a deep bow that he almost ended up prostrating himself in front of Asakura.
“Dlu Dgbatfg Esee, kf vlvc’a wfjc ab rmjgf sbe.” Ktf batfg wjc tjrafv ab rtbk tlr gfrqfma jr kfii.
“Vmjgfv? Qtb kjr yflcu rmjgfv?” Crjxegj olcjiis rcjqqfv bea bo tlr rtbmx. Lf uijgfv ja atf akb wfc jcv uglaafv tlr affat. “Qtja jgf sbe akb vblcu obiibklcu wf?”
“Qf…”
The two men looked at each other for a moment and hesitated. Then, as if silently agreeing on the answer, they both spoke in unison.
“We weren’t following you.”
“You weren’t following me?” Asakura repeated in disbelief. “Then explain what you are doing here.”
“We…” the two men began and once again hesitated.
“Spit it out or else…”
Asakura didn’t even get a chance to finish his sentence because the two men were already kneeling before him. He moved away from the car, looking down at the two trembling figures.
“Were you following Sato?” Asakura hazarded a guess.
The two men nodded their heads without saying anything else. Asakura sighed deeply. He rubbed the place between his eyebrows, and tried to keep his rising annoyance in check.
“Was it uncle Shibata who ordered you to do this?”
The two men nodded wildly, continuing to remain quiet. It was as if their tongues got tied up in a knot, and all they could do was remain silent and nod.
Asakura finally couldn’t hold himself back. As soon as he opened his mouth again, his voice resounded loudly.
“Haaaaaa! What the hell is he thinking, huh?!” he asked no one in particular.
As if they had been hit by an invisible whip, the two kneeling figures flinched violently.
“B-Big B-Brother R-Ryuu… Don’t be… angry…” the one on the left yelped.
“Y-Yes, Big B-Brother Ryuu, we c-can explain.” The one on the right hurried to say in a quivering voice.
“You’d better explain properly, or else I will send you to uncle Shibata in such a state that not even your own mothers would be able to recognize your faces.” Asakura growled menacingly, his tall body looming over the two shivering men.
“You see…” One of the men hurried to speak, raising his head to look imploringly at Asakura’s threatening expression. “Big Brother Ryuu, Big Boss Shibata found out about some suspicious movements against the family, and he wanted us to keep an eye out for trouble.”
“Keep an eye out for trouble?” Asakura repeated.
As he was twirling those words inside his head, his eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. After a short moment, he turned to the man who had just spoken.
“Muro, what did my uncle say exactly? Is it perhaps related to the Omura family?”
The man called Muro trembled and nodded his head. When he replied, his voice had gained a slight trace of confidence.
“As we kept watch, Shun and I noticed a dubious character lurking around Imamura-sama.”
“Someone even more dubious than you two idiots?” Asakura sneered, his words stabbing Muro straight in the heart.
“We aren’t dubious!” Muro replied indignantly. ‘And we aren’t idiots either.’
The last sentence was said as a silent protest, but it never left Muro’s lips.
“Well, maybe we are a little.” The other man, who was apparently called Shun, replied in a small voice.
Hearing his comrade, Muro cringed. Exactly which part was Shun agreeing with here?
“What about that mysterious character?” Asakura shifted the conversation back to what interested him. “Did you find out who it was?”
“We only know he is part of the Omura family. A young master of the family who apparently likes to have fun and plays around with both men and women. A shady character to be sure.”
As he spoke, Muro showed a disgusted grimace. Meanwhile, Shun was looking at Asakura with a worried expression.
“We were afraid he might try to do something to Imamura-sama, so we followed him wherever he went.”
A/N: This is it for this weekend’s update. Now we know who was stalking Sato. But what about the reason? 
See you all next week to find out! Until then, wish you all a wonderful week ahead!
a young master? I would prefer Touma be the stalker. anyone called young master is used to getting his way. I think Sato is in more danger from this guy than anyone else.
thanks for the chapter <3
Oh you are so right. Young masters are always trouble 😣 We’ll see about this one.
<333
So asakura uncle is actually protecting Sato? This is getting more interesting.
I wonder what caused the bad blood between both family
Mhm, Uncle Shibata is quite a mysterious character. Whether he helps you or not, you never know for sure 😏😂
You’ll find out soon enough
😁
Hmm, his uncle is really strange…
Thank you for the chapter 💕
He is definitely an interesting character 🤣But don’t think too badly of him 😅
🤣🤣🤣
