“Why are both of you bothering my sisters?”

Kazuki stared at the two people in front of him and looked at them from head to toe with unfriendly eyes.

An individual who wore casual clothes with the look of a young man in his late twenties was holding a camera in his hands. Kazuki, who knew nothing much about such luxury goods, could not tell the name of the brand.

Another was in formal black suits, with the appearance of a middle-aged person. He revealed a benevolence smile on his face.

“Sisters? It does not look like it.” The young man who was holding a camera could not help but whisper to himself after hearing the words.

His voice was soft. Nonetheless, Kazuki could still hear him.

“What did you say?” Kazuki looked furious. He stepped forward and directly grasped the collar of the young man. He lifted him with only one hand, and coldly said, “Forget about bothering my sisters. How dare you even insult us?”

Kazuki was never a reckless person. He initiated the act of violence because violence could simplify some complicated matters.

Nevertheless, violence was forever one of the roughest means to ordinary people.

Only if you stood on top of the commanding height of moral, and able to control public opinion, then you could become the uncrowned king. And this time, Kazuki did it in such away.

Kazuki’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was enough to be heard by the people at the cafe. Hearing Kazuki’s words, they looked over with different expression in their eyes.

Especially those people who sat close, they looked contemptuously at the young man who was holding a camera.

He already says that these two pretty twins are his sister, yet you say they do not look alike. Is this not subconsciously saying that they are not biological siblings?

They seriously did not look alike, but to say it in front of them would naturally turn into an offense.

“I’m sorry... I’m sorry...Please let me go...” The young man was abruptly lifted. He was shocked by the strength of Kazuki. As the young man felt he was a little out of breath, he could not help but to beg for forgiveness.

Kazuki put him down and gazed at him indifferently.

After the young man took a deep breath, he could feel the stares coming from all directions. Those strange look in their eyes caused him to feel uneasy. Being stared at by so many people made him have an intense feeling of shame in his heart. To not let others misunderstand him, he quickly explained himself, “I’m sorry...I didn’t mean it. The reason I approached your sisters was that their temperament and image are similar to that of an anime heroine. There is also a pair of twin sisters in the anime, and our club recently wanted to shoot a set of fine cosplay. We would like to ask for your sisters’ help, and of course, we will pay them.”

“Not interested.”

“Since you are not interested, I do not disturb you anymore. I am sorry to trouble you all.” The young man smiled apologetically and left the cafe in no time as if he was fleeing.

Not to mention that this was a public area, but only with the high strength of Kazuki had already made him dare not act rashly.

After getting rid of the young man, Kazuki looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Before he opened his mouth, he heard Shirakawa Nana laughed and said, “Hello. How admirable for your sisters to have such an elder brother like you.”

Upon hearing it, Kazuki did not say a word.

“My intention is not the same as that young man’s. I am a talent scout from Sea Studio. If your sisters are interested in becoming an idol, you can contact me.” Shirakawa Nana took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Kazuki.

Kazuki could clearly feel the changes in the eyes of people around when they heard about Sea.

He took the name card and glanced at the name, his name was Shirakawa Nana.

“Then I would not bother your siblings’ afternoon time.” Shirakawa Nana saw Kazuki took the business card; he then left with a gentle smile.

Kazuki sat on his seat again, he handed Shirakawa Nana’s business card to the two Furuhashi sisters.

Akino took the business card and threw it into the rubbish bin, “There are a lot of hidden rules in the world of entertainment, like hell I will go! Moreover, it is already the era of the internet now, most probably the talent scout or others are all liars.”

“Thank you for helping us out, Senior.” Furuhashi Akino did not care much about the talent scout and Cos club. She earnestly expressed her gratitude.

Kazuki nodded and said, “Since the matter has been resolved, I will excuse myself first. Enjoy yourselves.” He did not ask why the two sisters came to Taito District.

“Gosh... Senior, you are already here at the main gate of Ueno Gakuen University!” Akino was curious, “Are you not here to watch Mai Kujo plays mahjong?”

Mahjong? Kazuki was lost for words.

“Senior, you must not miss Mai Kujo’s competition. If you do not have any important stuff, I suggest you join us to go check it out. It will not let you down for sure. It has been four years since Mai Kujo participated in the national mahjong competition and her rate of throwing out a mahjong piece has always been zero. She is certainly non-human.” It was apparent that Furuhashi Fuyuno admired Mai Kujo. She, who was usually quiet also could not help from adding a few more words.

Of course, it was mainly because of the interruption of the two people just now, causing Fuyuno to feel insecure. She was hoping in her heart that Kazuki could keep them company so that they would not get bothered by someone else again.

Or else, she could not feel at ease watching the game.

Zero rates of throwing out a mahjong piece which would allow another to win the game? How could this be possible?

Although Kazuki did not know how to play mahjong, he had seen others played before. After all, it was the quintessence of Huaxia’s Chinese culture. Thus he could still understand some essential elements.

The meaning of throwing out a mahjong piece which will allow another to win the game is similar to ‘releasing the bomb’? Having a zero rate of ‘releasing the bomb’ after playing mahjong for four years which means she has never let others win under her hand before? This is simply unbelievable.

There must be something wrong with a strange thing going on. Kazuki, who initially wanted to reject her had thoughts flashed through his mind. He also thought of Principle Saito’s advice, asking him to prepare for his job as a home tutor. After a moment of silence, Kazuki slightly nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he had nothing to do after meeting Aoki Hidehiro, and he only needed to wait for the news from Nakagawa Aokiji when he returned. He might as well create a more favorable impression on them, so regardless of who the Directors of Furuhashi sent over, he would carry weight on the side of the Furuhashi sisters.

Opportunities were always in the hands of those who were prepared.

Seeing Kazuki agreed to it, Akino and Fuyuno revealed the excitement in their eyes. After making the payment, the three of them quickly rushed to Ueno Gakuen’s University.

On the way, both Akino and Fuyuno took turns to introduce to him the records of Mai Kujo. This had helped him to have a precise understanding of this legendary girl who was 17 years old and currently in sophomore year.

According to what the two said, Mai Kujo joined mahjong club of Ginga Junior High School since she was in the second year of junior high school. She then relied on her abilities and led Ginga Junior High School in winning first place in the mahjong competition for junior high school level at that time.

Besides, during that year, Mai Kujo was also the first runner up for the original game.

Since the third year of junior high school, Mai Kujo advanced irresistibly. She not only led the club to win the first place in the team competition, but she also lived up to people’s expectations and won the champion for the original game.

Some of the data related to Mai Kujo had been disclosed from that time onward.

It was also during that time, the public learned that since Mai Kujo joined a junior high school club, she had played in many big and small competitions. Now that she was in her sophomore year, she had fought in more than 10,0000 rounds of hanchan.

Her rate of throwing out a mahjong piece which would allow another to win the game was zero! This record of hers was yet to be broken.

How astonishing it was.
