I made an appointment to meet with the staff member in charge of the last project at 2:00 p.m. at the CI Acoustic Studio–the store where I went with Touko san to purchase a microphone.
Until then, I reported the problem to Kurogane while buying him lunch.
“……I see.”
After finishing his meal, Kurogane lit a cigarette.
The expression on his face was somewhat serious.
“From what I’ve heard, my impression is…do you think the guy who met you at the store where you bought the microphone, talked with her, and dealt with her until the end would engage in such blatant stalking?”
“….I don’t think so.”
“And was it a coffee shop? He’s in the same store, and moreover, he has seen your face. If he was aware that he’s committing a criminal act, he wouldn’t normally do it.”
Kurogane’s opinion was quite honest.
“Then, as a possible possibility…….”
“Well, either this Touko is mistaken, or she’s lying.”
If, as Kurogane said, that male staff member was the same person as the stalker, it would be unnatural for him to go all the way to that coffee shop and enter the same store.
Normally, he would have waited outside the store for Touko san to come out so that his face would not be seen.
“I think it is possible that the male staff and the stalker were mistaken for the same person. But I don’t think it’s possible that the stalker was a misunderstanding.”
“If that were the case.”
You know what I mean, don’t you?
He looked at me like that. I look away and drink a soft drink.
Kurogane opens his mouth, perhaps taken aback by my lack of obvious answers.
“I only know about your ex-girlfriend, who I’ve talked to to, that erotic fox. But, well…I think I know what kind of woman that Touko san is. Even though you knew that Jinguuji and Kanzaki were in the same university, you entered the university because you wanted to be with Touko san, but at the same time you enrolled, she voluntarily withdrew and disappeared from your presence. so somehow I feel like she’s not a good girl.”
Kurogane was obviously suspicious of Touko san.
“But……”
“No but. You just want to believe that woman, don’t you?”
An expression more serious than ever.
“And you don’t want to believe her because you’re her business manager. You just want to believe in her as a man, even though she betrayed you once. ….You’re just like an addict.”
“Addict? I’m not an addict, I’m…..”
“It’s the same feelings that erotic fox has for you. You and Touko san are probably similar.”
Kurogane takes a deep breath.
It’s not like I’m angry. Even so, there is a thorn in his tone and words, so I end up feeling discouraged.
“As Kuroganesaid, I guess I wanna trust Touko san… But it’s not because I have romantic feelings for her, but that person…”
“That person?”
“…Because she’s a lonely person. I’m the only one she can rely on.”
I know about her past.
And what kind of person she is. Both in a good way and a bad way.
“…….I’m sure there’s something about her that only the two of you know. I’m not gonna ask you about it.”
Kurogane folded his arms and fell silent for a bit.
“If she is who I imagine her to be, the trick is already in effect and you’re dancing in the palm of her hand.”
“Maybe. But she might be in real trouble. We can’t just abandon her.”
“Haa…… well, you’re that kind of a man. Simple, stupid, womanizing, sullen bastard.”
“….It kinda pisses me off to hear you say that.”
“Haha, forgive me for this remark. I’ll look into it for you.”
“Can you do it?”
When asked that question, Kurogane snorted and got up from his seat.
“If I know who the three people who came to the store are, I’ll let you know. In return, give me every piece of information about where Touko san is going.”
“You want me to tell you about what Touko san is doing….?”
“Yes, that’s right. That trio are her stalkers, right? If that’s the case, they might show up again when she goes out, right?”
“You’re right. I get it.”
“Then we have a deal. I’m hoping for a sushi bar instead of lunch as a reward for my success. Bye.”
Kurogane waved his hand.
The time is not yet 2:00 p.m., and we’re supposed to spend a little more time in this restaurant.
“Ah, yeah.”
He was about to leave the store first, but then he turned around.
“You must keep this a secret from that erotic fox. You never know what she might do when she goes crazy.”
With these words, he left.
I’m going to do that even if he doesn’t tell me.
This is something I have to solve.
I can’t let Mei worry about something she doesn’t need to worry about.

I headed to the CI sound studio and had a conversation with the male staff who was in charge at that time.
—As it turned out, he was a different man from the man in a suit I saw at the coffee shop.
The person I was talking to didn’t seem to know much about Touko san either, and only had as much knowledge as one of her business partners.
And most importantly, the male staff was working when we were at the coffee shop. I knew this from other staff.
Therefore, what Touko san said was wrong.
“Oh, welcome home, Darling♡.”
As soon as I came home, Touko san greeted me with a smile.
She asked me to let her stay here for a little while because she was afraid to be alone.
“Here. I’ll put it on a hanger.”
“T-thank you.”
I hand her the suit and she smells it.
“Touko san !?”
“Yeah, it stinks. Were you with someone who smokes?”
“That’s.”
“You have to be careful about the smell. People who don’t like it don’t like this kind of smell.”
Saying so, Touko san sprays deodorant on my suit.
“So how did it go with the person in CI sound studio?”
“……He was a different person.”
“Oh, I see……I was wrong. I’m sorry, Ken kun.”
“No, don’t worry about it.”
“Then I’m in trouble even more so…..”
Touko san said this with a troubled look on her face.
“I stream about three times a month, right? Two are situational ASMR that I can shoot at home, and the other is ASMR that I go out and stream live.”
Although not everyone does this, Touko san often travels far away and performs ASMR streams there.
In short, it could be an ASMR stream that you enjoy as a lover while watching an actual fireworks display, or an ASMR stream that you do while on a date at an amusement park.
ASMR streaming based on the concept of enjoying the event together next to the night grass lights has gained tremendous popularity as a once-a-month event.
“It sure is scary to go out alone under these circumstances, isn’t it?”
“Right. I was thinking about what I should do since I don’t have any stock of videos that I had saved up.”
She smiled wryly and said,
“I talked to the company and they said I could use Ken kun as my bodyguard.”
She shows me the two tickets.
“Ta-da ! A three-day, two-night hot spring trip with your boyfriend♡”
“W-wait a minute ! Why would you—“
“Ken kun, you told me that if I had any problems, I could ask you for help !”
I remembered Kurogane’s words.
Maybe I’m already dancing on Touko san’s palm.
