With that, the two headed back down the street and stopped out the front of a store with two conspicuous looking individuals partially blocking the door. They took one look at Tsukasa and stepped aside, allowing the two to enter.
Without a word, the two walked into the tech store which held both used and new electronics scattered around the place. Computers, laptops, radio's, TV's and even video cassette players filled the aisles.
"Tetsu? Tsukasa?"
A man in his early forties sporting glasses and a comb over called out in disbelief, not believing his eyes.
"Gomi…?"
Both Tsukasa and Tetsu looked bewildered as they stared at the person in front of them. The teen they used to know had been wide and sweaty, seeming like a typical otaku.
However, the lean and rather handso figure in front of them was like a complete stranger. So people said that n aged like fine wine, yet it was only now that the two truly understood the saying.
"What brings you two to my store today? Can I help you with so tech?" He seed a little taken aback at first, but a smile appeared on his face.
Tsukasa looked at Tetsu who seed to be lost for words before stepping forward and asking the question his friend wanted to know.
"Ah thanks Minoru, we actually ca for another reason altogether. Do you have a son that's around 17 years old?"
Minoru tilted his head, clearly not expecting such a question. "Son? I only have a daughter who is 10 years old. Why would you ask such a question?"
At the response, Tetsu suddenly felt deflated.
"There's a guy called Keiho Gomi who goes to Yokohama High. He's currently blackmailing my daughter."
Since the guy they were looking for had no ties to Minoru, Tetsu was lost. However, as he was about to walk out of the store, he was stopped.
"W-Wait, did you say Keiho?"
Minoru's face paled considerably, clearly showing that the na was familiar.
Tetsu's ears perked up and he quickly turned around. It took all of his strength not to rush up and fire rapid questions at the man in front of him.
Tsukasa took the liberty of answering affirmatively.
"That's my nephew's na… But that can't be right?" Minoru mumbled the last part of his sentence, not believing that his nephew would blackmail a girl in school.
However, seeing how upset his old friends were, he didn't try and speak up for him.
Without being prompted, he grabbed a piece of paper and jotted down an address before handing it to Tsukasa.
"This is my mother's address. My brother lives downstairs in the basent."
"Thanks Minoru. I just hope he cooperates…" Tsukasa replied, his tone serious.
"S-Sure. It was good seeing you guys again, I just wish it were under different circumstances."
Tetsu walked over to the counter and placed his hand on Minoru's shoulder, locking eyes with him.
"Thank you… I'm sure if it was yer daughter, you'd hunt the person down as well."
Minoru paused for a mont before nodding. Even he who could be described as a coward would still do his all to protect his only daughter.
The two then walked out of the store, leaving Minoru by himself. Now that the atmosphere had returned to normal, he felt his body begin to shake from the earlier tension.
"What have you done Kohei?" he muttered, feeling sha on his nephews behalf.
As Tsukasa made his way outside, he made a gesture in the air. Suddenly, around 15 people starting walking towards them. They seed like a biker gang, wearing leather jackets and bandannas.
Instantly, the civilians in the street began to grow panicked, backing away from the congregation of unsavory looking gentleman.
"et us at this address." Tsukasa said simply, handing one of his lackeys the piece of paper.
"How many big bro?" The man asked politely.
Tsukasa looked at his old friend Tetsu, seeing the wrathful expression on his face.
"Bring everyone here."
"Yes big bro."
In the next mont, everyone dispersed, leaving both Tetsu and Tsukasa alone.
"How did you wanna do this?"
Tetsu didn't answer right away. Now that he had found out where the perpetrator lived, he felt an urge to rush over there and dish out so justice.
However, he managed to reign in his feelings. He had been rash previously, attacking Ken without knowing the full story. Having been forgiven for his actions by a re teenager, he decided to not make the sa mistake again.
" and you will have a nice civil discussion with Minoru's brother. If it doesn't go well, we can always use so persuasion."
He accentuated the final word, cracking his knuckles in anticipation.
"Hehehe. This feels like old tis again." Tsukasa said, running his hand through his balding hair.
With that settled, the two made their way over to where Tsukasa had parked his bike. He saw a few of his mbers about ready to leave.
"Oi Chibi, ride with soone else. Tetsu will borrow your bike for now."
A large behemoth of a man with a long mustache paused for a mont before turning off his bike. He slowly got off and walked calmly towards the much shorter Tsukasa.
"Here big bro." With such a deep voice and mammoth size, even Tetsu was dumbfounded as to why this guy would listen to Tsukasa. He handed over the keys and looked to one of the other mbers.
Everyone seed to look the other way, not wanting to dual ride with such a damn big guy on their bikes.
Eventually, the one they called Chibi walked over to the closest bike and lifted the rider off with one hand.
"I'll ride this."
With that he stepped over the bike and turned it on, nodding at Tsukasa and Tetsu before riding off, leaving the poor rider to watch his bike leave with no tears to cry.
"Ahem. Katsu, you go ride with soone else."
"Y-Yes big bro!"
