Chapter 3: Handsome for only three seconds

Chapter 3

"Master... Young Master, this is the clothes Madam prepared for you today."

"I understand. I'm sorry to bother you today as well."

"yes."

Walking barefoot on the silk carpet, Kurokawa Kaoru yawned and slowly walked to the dressing mirror. The maids beside him had already prepared everything. The taller one was helping him put on his wig, while another was adjusting the waistband of his skirt.

"Will it be uncomfortable, Master?"

“…”

Does that mean I can stop wearing it just because he says it’s uncomfortable?

Looking at the maid expressionlessly, Kurokawa Kaoru let out a long sigh and shook his head silently.

Half an hour later, the boy in front of the dressing mirror had completely turned into a girl. Looking at the several pairs of platform shoes placed in front of him, Kurokawa Kaoru resignedly pointed in a direction.

"Let's take this pair."

"yes."

“…”

So why had he made such an excuse in the first place? Holding a small, embroidered parasol with a diameter of only fifteen centimeters, which had no practical significance, Kurokawa Kaoru sighed and walked straight into a cafe, facing a crowd of either astonished or enthusiastic gazes.

"A glass of Blue Mountain, thank you."

"Please give this lady a brownie, along with her coffee, of course. I'll pay the bill."

A man in a mouse-gray suit appeared out of nowhere. The corners of his lips curled up, and the rose-pink shirt underneath his suit was particularly eye-catching. "Hello, I'm Kishida."

"Hello."

Kurokawa Kaoru said with a forced smile: "I'm trying to lose weight recently, so Mr. Kishida should eat this brownie by himself."

"Beautiful ladies don't need to lose weight."

Although he really wanted to meet Kurokawa Kaoru, Kishida had a plan to go to Dorobigaar Land with others, including his girlfriend. The appointment was just a few minutes away, and he was feeling anxious. Not wanting to miss the beauty before him, he pulled his business card from his pocket and handed it to her.

"For this beautiful encounter, if possible, could you tell me your name?"

"Of course not..."

"You bastard Ah Zhi! We agreed to go buy new sneakers together, and you stood me up!"

“…”

A familiar voice interrupted Kurokawa Kaoru's unfinished words. He saw a familiar face through the window - so familiar that he saw it every day in the classroom. A few days ago, the other party had bargained with him for a long time just to hand in his homework an hour late.

That person is——

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Kurokawa Kaoru chuckled twice, almost revealing his true voice: "Even if Japan is small, this is Tokyo... How could he suddenly come here and appear in the same place as me?"

"Miss?"

Unable to get a response from Kurokawa Kaoru, Kishida became anxious and raised his voice unconsciously: "You haven't told me your name yet..."

"This kind of thing is fine no matter what."

Not wanting to be seen in women's clothing by acquaintances, Kurokawa Kaoru narrowed his eyes and grabbed Kishida's collar: "Listen carefully, I'm not interested in your game of picking up girls, and I don't intend to have anything to do with you. Just get out of my sight, understand?"

Having been reborn countless times, not to mention dealing with the mafia in every one of them, the aura surrounding him alone was enough to overwhelm an ordinary person. Seeing someone so frightened by him that he couldn't utter a word, Kurokawa Kaoru clicked his tongue in annoyance and threw him back into the chair.

"Go away."

“Yes… yes!”

Kishida's noises were so loud that they naturally attracted the attention of the other customers in the cafe. However, none of this was what Kurokawa Kaoru needed to worry about right now. After some mental preparation, he tensed up and looked out the window nervously.

Not here anymore.

The boy who was just complaining to someone on the phone had disappeared somewhere. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find him in the crowd.

"fine……"

Kurokawa Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief.

If that person saw him like this, within two days, everyone in the class... no, everyone in Inarizaki would know that he was a crossdresser. Thinking of the chain reaction that would follow if something like this happened, Kurokawa Kaoru leaned back and patted his chest with lingering fear.

"I should have listened to my mother and put on colored contact lenses. Having different eye colors is always a safe bet...eh?"

A boy had appeared where Kishida had been sitting. He had a steamed bun in his mouth, and the Inarizaki volleyball club uniform he wore was even more eye-catching than Kishida's pink shirt. When Kurokawa Kaoru finally looked at him, the boy's eyes widened and he uttered a muffled sound.

"You really are black... ugh!"

Almost at the moment when Gong You opened his mouth, a hand came towards him and pressed the bun he was holding into his mouth.

"Dear, why did you take so long to come to see me?"

He kept increasing the strength in his hands, causing the veins in his arms to bulge. Feeling Gong You wince in pain, Kurokawa Kaoru raised his voice with a sweet smile on his face: "Just now, a strange man came to chat with me and scared me to death. You must comfort him well later."

"Mmmmm (What the hell are you talking about)?"

"What? Your dress looks nice today?"

Covering Gong You's mouth and pushing the bun in again, Kurokawa Kaoru exerted force on his hands and almost lifted him up from the chair: "So let's go on a date now!"

"Ugh (I don't want to)!"

Gong You's resistance was seen as a shy reaction by others. After watching the two of them leave the cafe for a long time, someone sighed, and then everyone laughed.

"It's really youthful."

“…”

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Being forcibly dragged to a deserted corner, Gong You stood up awkwardly, touching his face with a resentful look: "Do you want to choke me to death, Kurokawa?"

“Hehehe…”

Kurokawa Kaoru raised his eyebrows and laughed like a silver bell: "I didn't make it in time at the coffee shop just now, but you recognized the wrong person. He is not the Kurokawa you are talking about."

Do you think I believe it? Gong You protested with his expression.

Tsk, I really can't get through it. Kurokawa Kaoru was a little annoyed.

Even after so many rebirths, he wasn't very good at dealing with people like Gong You. Not wanting to argue too much with her about this matter, Kurokawa Kaoru took a deep breath and subconsciously adopted the tone of intimidation he used in his previous life: "I'm actually carrying out a mission. Wearing women's clothing is just a mission requirement. If you don't want to lose your life, just shut up, or I'll have you sunk into Tokyo Bay."

“Wow.”

Gong Youbang read: "This is too terrible, what should I do?"

"Can you be serious?"

Kurokawa Kaoru was somewhat helpless: "My family is a mafia in the orthodox sense. If you keep talking nonsense like this, you might not see the sun tomorrow."

"The weather forecast says it will be cloudy all over Japan tomorrow."

This person! Kurokawa Kaoru clenched his fists.

His usually smooth negotiation method failed for the first time. Kurokawa Kaoru was about to speak when he raised his hand and saw the wide Himesode. Looking at his heavily dressed Lolita outfit, his expression was ferocious, and he immediately understood everything.

Let alone Gong Yoo, no one would believe that he had any connection with the mafia if they saw him, right?!

It is impossible to let him go back like this, but Kurokawa Kaoru really can't think of how to make Gong You keep the secret for him except by threatening his life.

Seeing Gong You raise an eyebrow and look at him, he didn't know what he was thinking. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still hesitated and said, "If I can prove my identity as a mafia member, you will shut up honestly, right?"

"mafia?"

Gong You couldn't help laughing this time: "If you are the Mafia, then I am the President of the United States."

Good...very good.

Kurokawa Kaoru, who has never liked to argue and is used to solving problems with one shot, became excited for the first time and grabbed Miya You who was trying to leave.

His eyes narrowed, and he said through gritted teeth, "Since you don't believe me, I'll show you... what the real Mafia looks like."

TBC.
