Reiji smacked his forehead as he heard the voice through the door. He walked out of his room and glanced at the lavish living room that was furnished with plush sofas and a massive TV.
"Truly a stupid punishnt"
He opened the front door just as another knock was registered. Outside of his apartnt were two burly n, one with a thick beard and a tight fitting suit while the other was bald and had a scar that started on his forehead and ended at his jaw, going over his right eye.
"Beardy, Baldy, why are you here so early," Reiji muttered as he walked away into the living room, letting the two into his house.
"Boss, the Leader told us you got into trouble again yesterday and sent us to check on you. Have you gotten hurt anywhere?" Beardy, whose na was actually Takeda Takeshi, asked in a worried tone.
"Haha, why are you scared? Boss destroyed that fool 100%! He's probably in the hospital right now hehe," Baldy, or Raiden Raizo, exclaid with complete confidence.
'What are these two fools doing? One is worried about when I punched soone, the other is celebrating my strength.'
There's a limit to how badly you can raise a child, alas these two along with his clueless father were experts at it.
"I'm fine Beardy, and it was only a punch. I don't think I hurt him too bad." Alex sat on the sofa and looked at them calmly. The two n worked for his father and also partially raised him, so even though he was eting the two of them for the first ti there was a mix of affection and anger that was induced by his mories.
Since his mories were partially affecting his feelings, Reiji knew that the transmigration hadn't fully settled in yet. He needed to gain better control over his mories, especially the arrogance and anger that he could quite literally feel in his bones.
"Boss, we are all worried about you. Lately, you've been crossing the line too much and the Leader is concerned about how you will make friends at this rate," Beardy said in a sad tone.
'Oho, I guess he's not too bad after all' Alex thought.
"Please Boss, you should understand that you still have ti to make changes. You are destined to rule over the Yagami Syndicate, do not let your anger overwhelm you. I believe you ca-"
"Ok" Alex interjected.
"...What?"
"I said ok. After the fight yesterday I realized that I was becoming worse than garbage. I've decided to live properly from now on, so I'll need your help Beardy," Alex said in a solemn tone with what he thought was a pitiful expression.
"...Do you need to send that student to the hospital?" Beardy asked hesitantly.
"What the fuck? No, I just said I'll live properly now?"
"Takeshi-san don't be foolish. Boss obviously ans that we should beat up his entire family as well so that he can relax as a student afterwards," Baldy cut in confidently.
Alex stared blankly at the two idiots in front of him. To be completely honest, he couldn't bla them that much since Reiji often made them do his dirty work for him. In order to keep Reiji's hands clean and prevent him from being in trouble with the Leader, they went along with it loyally. I don't know what thought process made them think that would be a better option, but that had been the case till now.
"You two, listen to . I'm being serious, I'm gonna stop causing trouble from now on. I just want to live a regular life, it's annoying to get into trouble again and again and again. I'd rather just stick to myself."
Alex needed to make this clear to them, otherwise they'd keep bringing it up. The best way was to attribute it to being frustrated with the trouble he gets into.
What he didn't expect, however, was for the two huge bear-like entities to tear up and start sniffling.
"R-Raizo, did y-you hear? Boss has grown up! He's finally grown up," Beardy howled.
"T-Takeshi-san, what should I do, the tears won't stop. My momma told that n shouldn't cry! I don't want to cry Takeshi-san," Baldy sputtered out in return.
Reiji had thought that his headache earlier was gone by now, but these two caused it to flare up yet again.
"Stop babbling, you're going to get snot on my sofas! Wait for to get ready, we're going to go out soon."
"Huh? Are we going to beat that student's family up?"
"I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS INSTEAD, JUST SHUT UP!"
Reiji stord back into his room, and shut his door. Geez, reign it in man. These emotions are pretty hard to control in this body. Slow and steady, there's no need to rush.
***
The trio stepped out of the apartnt building, and Reiji's mouth twitched as he pulled on the clothes he was wearing. The most 'normal' set of clothing he had was a white t-shirt that said "Rock Ya Mom" and a pair of tight ripped jeans paired with snake skin loafers.
He wasn't lying when he said he needed to go shopping.
"Boss, you forgot to style your hair! Should we go back?" Baldy asked.
"No, we're going to get my hair cut and dyed so it's ok" Reiji replied flatly. No way he was going to stick with that greasy look.
"Eh? Boss are you going to change the color? Maybe red this ti, it could look cool!"
"Nope, just regular black. I don't want to wait until it grows back out again."
The two were clearly confused by my reply, as they just looked at each other. I had no energy to explain further, as they would definitely make up their own stories afterwards regardless of what I said. I decided to show my changes through actions, rather than words.
Though, it's not like red was that odd of a color. This was a ga world after all, there were many changes in common sense, laws, and even physical attributes to make the setting more fluid. This ant that vibrant hair and eye-colors weren't out of the norm.
Take Reiji's blue eyes for example. If you're thinking of the regular shade that most blue-eyed people have in the regular world, you're sorely mistaken. His blue was deeper and much more vibrant, and in so lighting even sparkled.
The three walked to a salon that Reiji had checked online and made an appointnt for before leaving since it had great reviews. It wasn't too far, so after a quiet 6 minute walk, the three intimidating n walked in.
Intimidating was an understatent, as all 3 were scary in their own ways. Baldy and Beardy were 6'2 and 6'4 respectively, whilst Reiji himself was already 6'1 despite being only 16 years old. Combined with the scars, piercings, dyed hair, and bushy beard, it wouldn't be surprising if they caused so children to cry.
Which is why Reiji's eyebrows only twitched when the receptionist yelped when she looked at them walking in.
"Hey lady, our Boss here has an appointnt, don't make him wai- OUCH"
Reiji smacked Baldy's shiny head and gave the receptionist a kind smile.
"I'm sorry about my Uncle here, I have an appointnt for 10:30 under the na Reiji. Could you please check for us...Hanabira-san?" Alex asked softly as he glanced at her na tag.
Hanabira-san blushed slightly as she turned her attention to Reiji and checked quickly.
"O-Of course, Reiji-san, we're ready for you. Amami-san will cut you hair today"
"Thank you," Reiji smiled again and walked in, leaving the bewildered duo behind as they stared in astonishnt at their Boss.
As he settled into his chair, he showed his hairdresser what he wanted. Reiji had decided to get sothing that he had always wanted but previously didn't have the look or the hair type for. A wolfcut, with shaved sides that were sowhat covered by the long ssy hair from top to the back. He believed it would suit his new body very well, so he took the plunge.
***
2 hours later, both the cut and the dye was completed and Amami-san settled his hair with wide eyes.
"Wow Reiji-san, this look really suits you. It's both stylish and cool!" She exclaid.
"Umm, thanks Amami-san. You did a great job!"
"Haha, how could I not when the raw material was so high quality," she replied with a sly smile.
Reiji just smiled awkwardly. He wasn't used to complints, since he kept to himself in his previous life and only had an average face.
As he walked to the waiting area after paying. The two henchn stood up, equally as shocked as the hairdresser was.
"Holy sh- Boss! You look cool!"
"Yes yes, I agree! Very dashing, Boss!"
Hearing the reaction of these two, Reiji had second thoughts about his decision. He couldn't trust their sense of style at all! Well, Amami-san said it was good so he'll just go with it for now.
"Thanks, I guess. Let's go to the mall now. I want to buy so clothes," Alex decided. He had his hair done first so that he could tell what would suit him a little better.
They stepped out waited for a taxi since the mall was pretty far from here.
'I should get a car pretty soon. The legal driving age here is 16 for so reason, even though it's Japan. Guess it's because there were so events where the protagonist took the heroines on trips in his dad's car.'
As they waited, Reiji noticed there were more people glancing at him as they walked past, especially won. One even stopped and thought about walking towards them, but decided against it when she saw the two burly bears next to him.
'Hmmm. Yeah this isn't so bad after all.'
