Banana Fish [Good Life]

Chapter 7: Evolution

"... So... Why do I have to dress like this?..." Eiji walked out from the changing room and looked at Eimi, who was waiting outside.

"OH MY GOD ONII-CHAN!!! You're so cute!!!!" As soon as she saw her brother come out, Eimi squealed in excitement.

The boy with a natural cute look Eiji Okumura, wearing a sky blue dress and a yellow long-sleeved V-neck. He wore ankle strap shoes, plus a long black wig that similar to his sister's. He looks like a grown-up version of Eimi.

As for his sister, she couldn't help but rush to squeeze his cheek with hers. "Gosh! The two of us are like twins!! You have to thank me for my taste in fashion, onii-chan!!!"

"But why do I have to crossdress? We just go to Sing's friend's birthday party." Eiji said hesitantly.

"That's why you have to dress up to overshadow the beauty of other girls! Sing will faint if he looks at you, or even give you a kiss in front of everyone's eyes!!!"  Eimi confirmed her words, her gaze burning.

"But everyone knows that I'm a guy!! Suddenly dressed like this people might think I am... transgender! And I didn't even wear fake breasts!" He pulled out all reasons to object this outfit.

"You're stupid onii-chan! It's a big party with Sing, you have to show up more prominently, right? It's just an one-day dress up to shoo away the girls who flirt with Sing, so they can admire the beauty of his fiancé! Aren't you angry that your fiancé is becoming more and more popular?"

"But there's no need to go this far—

"YOU MUST! Don't you think I can't see all your vague acts of lack of affection for Sing! Come on, I'll make up for you." She desperately pulled her brother to the makeup table.

"Huhu~"

.

"Whoa, look! That blonde is so handsome!"

"Emerald eyes? That's rare~ Where is he from?"

"Hurry up and get his picture!!!"

Unfortunately for Ash, he accidentally passed by a certain group of band fans gathered here.  The girls there fell in love with his beauty, talked about all kinds of stuffs, then looked at him as if they want to devour him. He gasped, mentally lamented why he just wanted to go around the city but it was also difficult. Before he could run away from a hundred staring eyes, he was surrounded. In his previous life, he had been on the sights of many men, yet even in this life he was also being looked at by his appearance. To him, this beauty is a curse. If it wasn't for Eiji to recognize him, he wished he was born in this life with an ugly face.

"Hey, what's your name? You look familiar!"

"May I take a picture with you? What's your contact address?"

"Are you a magazine model? Tell me your manager name!"

"If you don't mind, would you like to join us for a meal one day?"

"Hey girls! You guys are bothering him!!"

Naturally, it happened that Ash had to cringe, when a series of girls continuously crowded in to stand near him, some even deliberately fell to be supported by him. He blamed himself for not wearing a mask to hide his face. (Corona-chan, show up!)

"Look, onii-chan. Isn't that the blondie molester?" While pulling Eiji's hand towards where Sing is, Eimi coincidentally saw a group of girls gathered around a familiar blond haired person.

"Ah! You're right." Looking at the direction Eimi pointed, Eiji could easily see that Ash was in trouble. He wondered if he was too unlucky to be endowed with divine beauty.

"Onii-chan, what will you do? Help him? Or neglect?" Eimi asked him in a moment of temporary excitement.

"O-Of course we are just going to ignore him! Let's go!" Taking her by the wrist, Eiji pulled her straight forward.

"You're very welcome. As long as you're okay." Ash's voice stopped his steps, then that smile appeared in his mind. Gripping Eimi's wrist, he clenched his teeth, then turned his head to look at her.  "Sorry Eimi. It's my fault to owe him."

"Eh?" She didn't understand anything, tilted her head to look at him.

"Wait a second!" Letting go of her hand, Eiji rushed over to the crowd.

Eimi didn't say anything, just stood there with her hands in her pocket, observing the situation.

"I am honestly very busy! Please get out of the way!" Ash pleaded with the fangirls pulling his shirt, looking pathetic. He couldn't beat women, much less knew how to avoid this.

"Sorry everyone. Please return my boyfriend."  The fangirls stopped after hearing a soft voice coming from behind, they all turned their heads.

A girl with a face radiating Asian beauty, long black hair embracing her slender body. 'That girl' slowly approached the blonde, swooping into his chest.

"Ash~ How long have you been waiting for me?"

"EHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!???"  The girls standing near them shouted in utter amazement.

Needless to say, Ash knew how fast his heartbeat was. His face and ears were all hot, reddened. His hand was limp, looking slightly at the person in his chest. "E-Eiji..."

"Please don't disturb my lover. He doesn't need you all. Because..." Eiji slowly looked up at him. "...the person he loves the most is... me..." He stopped when...

Ash's seemingly beautiful face is smeared with tears, and runny nose. He pouted in happiness, the sob in his throat kept coming.

An arrogant looking girl shook his arm, asked: "Wait a second! Who is she? Is she really your girlfriend?"

"N-No. She is... "Ash turned to look at the girl, blankly said:  "MY WIFE."

"WHAT????" She rolled her eyes in disbelief.

Eiji's face turned dark while looking at him. He can't believe what Ash just said. Hastily grabbing his wrist, Eiji raised one hand. "S-Sorry everyone! We are missing an appointment with a friend. Goodbye!"  Then he took Ash with him and ran away.

Watching the shadows of the two vanished, Eimi pulled out her phone from her pocket. "Looks like I have to call Sing and apologize for onii-chan due to missing the party. Well, it doesn't matter. Onii-chan is probably only pity that blonde. No matter what happens next, he can handle it alone." She picked up the phone and prepared to hear the voice of her future brother-in-law.

.

"Pant pant... so tired." After walking for a while, Eiji held his chest and gasped.

"Um... Eiji. Just now-

"Don't get the wrong idea! I did that just to repay you the last time you saved me. To me you are still a molester. Got it?!"  Eiji turned to glance at him, crossing his arms.

"Ah... Yeah." Ash looked down, visibly disappointed.

"By the way how dare you announce to them that I'm your wife?! Hopefully no one knows my true identity. If Sing knows about this, you better prepare a coffin for yourself. "

"Well... Because I thought you remembered everything, so—

"Wait!  Just when... I was your wife?" Out of curiosity, Eiji raised his body and asked him.

"Well... um... I just want you to be... my wife." Ash scratched his head, reluctantly looking away.

"Then why did you lie that I am your wife?!"

"Haha ... My mouth moved on its own."  Ash waved his hand, hoping to cool down Eiji's anger.

"Seriously!!!"

"Why are you dressing like that?"

"Mind your own business!"
