Magical Boy ~ English version

Chapter 38

Nakamara and Thoki had enjoyed tea and a pancake at the maid cafe, before going around the entertainment. Many of the students strayed as they recognized Nakamara. Some were curious and a few courageous even came to approach him for different reasons. They also passed some teachers who greeted Nakamara as an old friend. Fishy recalled with him a training fight they had done together.

It wasn't until lunchtime, on their way back to the maid cafe, that they met the three directors, seated at a table. Students from other classes had also taken their break, and all eyes were on Kotaro and his family. Upon meeting them, Ita introduced herself as the young man's girlfriend and he didn't even have time to reply that his father, Shime Yoichi, had shouted his joy, drawing the full attention of those present.

"It wasn't a waste after all!" He asserted. "I knew the school of villains would make a real man out of you!"

"A man, eh ?!" Kotaro replied, furious. "Kashiwa says nonsense, I am, never was and never would be her boyfriend! If being a man is having your stupid mentality, I'm not interested!"

"You are not going to refuse the advances of such a cute girl!"

"Unless she hide a three-piece set under her skirt, I'm not interested in her!"

A few witnesses spat out their drink or nearly choked on their food. Kotaro didn't flinch, his gaze fixed on his father's, standing straight with his arms crossed. The adult grimaced in anger.

"Don't take that look with me, you brat !!" He growled. "You think you're superior because you decided to be different, eh? Do I have to make you interned so that you finally return to normal ?! "

Shadow and Starlight stood up in the same gesture, visibly annoyed. Mineko refrained from hitting him with her tray. Shime Nanako, Kotaro's mother, was visibly angry and seemed to appeal to all the will in the world not to make the scandal worse. Phen-X and Thoki didn't realize right away that Nakamara had stepped forward, visibly angry. They feared for a moment that he had taken one of his inventions with him, but the businessman only smacked his fist to meet Yoichi's face. The father swore, regaining his balance, looked furiously at Nakamara.

"Ah! I knew it couldn't be true!" He growled. "A villain will always be a villain! Can't help yourself, isn't it ?!"

"Am I the villain in the story ?!" Nakamara exclaimed, losing his temper!

There was no time to answer, this time it was Thoki who grabbed him by the collar, a terrifying smile on his face.

"Never speak to my master like that again." The butler muttered in a calm but chilling tone.

"Thoki." Nakamara called out, slamming his mechanical fist into his organic palm. "Leave him alone. The next punch will be with the prosthesis."

"No, leave it to me." A voice cut off. 

Thoki let go of the garment and Yoichi barely had time to turn around, when his wife slammed a metal fist on him which literally knocked him out. Her power seemed to allow her to change her skin to steel. Phen-X muttered that he had no desire to deal with this man, as he picked him up to take him to the infirmary.

"I didn't need your intervention." Kotaro muttered between his teeth.

"You're welcome, kid." Nakamara replied simply. "Well, if that can reassure your ego, I didn't do it for you."

"That explains why you didn't come home at all during the holidays." Haru muttered, also come to take a break with his brother.

"Bro, your father is a pain in the ass." Continued Jun. "Without wanting to offend you ..."
