"You invited her to the festival?" Hisoka, my older brother asked annoyingly.

"For the 6th time, YES." I replied, in an irritated tone.

"You're gonna be responsible if--"

"..if something bad happens to her, I know." I glanced at him.

"The festival near ours is really dangerous." Hisoka sighed.

I know it's dangerous.

We live next to the most dangerous neighborhood in Shinjuku.

But, the reason why I invited her was because..

..nah, there's no point in telling.

It's not like someone's reading my mind.

"By the way, Shizu's free this weekend, you could ask her out then." Hisoka started.

"Who's Shizu?" I tilted my head.

"Wait.. you.." Hisoka paused for a moment. "..nevermind."

"You're keeping a secret from me, aren't you?" I stood up and walked towards him.

"N-Nah." He looked nervous. Knew it.

This guy never keeps secrets from me.

Either he tells me or I find out.

"Shizu's just a g-guy that I happened to meet earlier." Hisoka looked away.

"Uh-huh." I raised a brow.

"Believe me!" Hisoka replied. "He's a cool guy, and goes by the name Akira!"

I looked at him for a while.

Seems like he's not lying.

"Fine." I turned around, and walked away.

Akira sounds like a guy's name.

"Achoo!" I sneezed.

"I thought your cold was over, Shizu?" Mother replied, as she wiped the plates.

"Y-Yeah.. I thought so too.." I rubbed my nose.
