Chapter 59: The Dandelion Man Who Sows Seeds Everywhere

Reading Settings

“Remember when I told you I was hit on the other day? It was by that same college guy! He's been so persistent that I had to run away.”

“You ran away, but what? Did he catch you and drag you into the bushes?”

“If anyone other than Onii-chan did that, I’d bite my tongue and die.”

“Nonono, shouldn't you say you'd die if I did it too?”

Ange's been getting bolder lately. WHY?! I wonder if it’s because we’ve been passing by all those NTR couples.

“First of all, Onii-chan wouldn’t do something like that. And you know what? My classmate warned everyone about a guy who’s been hitting on cute girls around here. When I saw the photo they shared for caution, it was the same guy.”

“Ouch. That’s beyond inappropriate. A college guy hitting on a middle schooler is just the worst.”

“No kidding! If he's just looking for any girl who'll fall for his lines, it's a definite no from me!”

I can’t believe this guy hasn’t ended up in police custody. But Ange's wording bothers me. Does that mean she wouldn’t completely reject him if he only hit on her?

… Whatever. I trust Ange isn’t that stupid.

“I have to say, your school’s security is impressive. An escalator private school, huh?”

“They're quick with this stuff. Even though he was trying to act cool on BBS and all that was creepy, the big mole on his face made him stand out, so everyone called him ‘Creepy Mole Guy.'”

“He even got a nickname behind his back, poor guy… Wait, a mole?”

“Yeah, a pretty big one under his left ear.”

“…”

Hold on a second. That rings a bell.

… Wasn’t there something about a mole in one of the photos Jones-san had?

I hadn't shown those pictures to Ange, so she wouldn’t have recognized him. Could it be that the guy Jones-san's ex-wife cheated with was this mole guy? Haha.

… No way, right?

But I can’t ignore this.

“Ange, do you have a picture of this mole guy? I want to see it.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah. It’s on the watch list we have. Why? I get that you’re mad about me getting hit on, but you can’t kill him or anything.”

“I’m not going to kill him. I just think he might be someone I know. Just to be sure.”

“You should say something like, ‘I'd kill him and still not be satisfied!'”

“Oh, uh… just send the photo.”

Ange's sudden outburst surprised me. Maybe her hormones are acting up. No worries; I’m the ideal Onii-chan for not letting it get to me.

So I ended the call and waited for her message.

… Got it. Let’s see what we’ve got here.

…

This is Kojima-san’s stepbrother!

There is no doubt about it. I've only seen him a few times, but there aren’t many people with eyes like those creepy mascots!

It's weird how changing his hairstyle can make him look decent. I guess even a guy like that can fool some girls. Meanwhile, no one gets fooled when I try to hit on them. This world is unfair. I’d like to teach him a lesson about true heat, straight from the mantle.

By the way, if you think of anything dirty when you hear ‘mantle,' you're showing your age.

But this is a sudden twist. I have to tell Jones-san about this. The photos might not be enough proof since they don't show his face clearly.

While I was pondering my strategy, Ange sent another message.

“Do you know him?”

Oh, I know him all right. This is bad. I need to tell Ange… wait, calm down. Responding calmly is key here.

“I’m not sure yet, but things might get messy. If they do, will you help out?”

“What happened…?”

Of course, she's suspicious. I can’t blame her.

“I'll explain later. Just be ready to help if we decide to get rid of him.”

“I-is he a criminal?”

“Not far from it.”

“Okay. If it means getting rid of him, I’ll help.”

“Good. And stay safe. Don’t let anyone steal your purity.”

“Of course! If someone tried, I’d rather have you do it.”

Alright, enough of that. Thanks, Ange.

This situation is turning out to be more complicated than I thought. Jones-san couldn’t claim alimony because the guy disappeared.

If Kojima-san’s situation is linked to this, things could get really interesting.
