Member 4 exclaimed, "What! Invincible Mikey is also here!"
Takemichi thought, "Mikey!!"
As all the members saw Mikey, they bowed their heads in respect. Takemichi dropped his guard and glanced at the two figures.
Mikey grinned and said to Draken, "Hey, hey, Kenchin. You see him, right?"
Draken retorted, "How many times have I told you not to call me that outside, Mikey!"
Mikey apologized, "Oh, sorry, sorry. But my dorayaki is gone."
A member shouted, "Good work, President!"
Draken reassured him , "Don't worry, we brought another later."
Kiyomasa weakly stood, bowing his head to Mikey. However, Draken swiftly kicked him in the stomach, forcing him to his knees.
Kiyomasa groaned, "Ack! Not again." Tears welled up in his eyes.
Draken scolded him, "How many times have I told you, Toman is not for bad things, Kiyomasa?" He slammed Kiyomasa's face onto the ground.
Mikey approached Takemichi, who was still observing both Mikey and Draken.
Mikey remarked, "Woah, easy there, buddy. Um, what's your name?"
Takemichi replied, "It's Takemichi."
Mikey -"Oh, Takemichy!"
Takemichi - "What? No, it's—"
Draken interrupted, "Hey, if Mikey calls you Takemichy, then it's Takemichy."
Mikey complimented Takemichi, "I saw your fight; you're so cool! From now on, you're my friend, Takemichy. I want you to join my gang." He said this with a warm smile.
Takemichi hesitated for a moment, then walked in a different direction.
Draken grabbed Takemichi's shoulder to stop him. "Where the hell do you think you're going? You can't just walk away without answering Mikey's question."
Takemichi responded coldly, "Do I really have to?"
Draken, angered, asked, "What?"
Before Draken could do anything, Mikey intervened, "Stop, Kenchin! Haha, sorry about that. Sometimes Kenchin has a short temper. If he doesn't want to join, we can't force him. Let's go!" Mikey and Draken left, but Draken continued to stare at Takemichi.
A group of students approached Takemichi with smiles on their faces.
The person said, "Woah! You really are so cool. Thank you for saving me, Takemichi!"
Takemichi inquired, "Yeah, it's nothing. And who are you?"
Takuya introduced himself, "I'm Takuya. You really saved me today, and these are my friends. We were being harassed by this man, but you saved us. Thank you for your help." Takuya and the others bowed.
Takemichi reassured them, "It's alright. But next time, I won't always be here to help. You and your friends have to be strong to fight for yourselves and help others. I should take my leave now. Bye, bye."
Aakun - "Takemichi-san is so cool, don't you think, Yamagishi?" with a smile.
Yamagishi replied, "Oh yeah, the kick was strong," with bright eyes.
Aakun - "I said Takemichi-san, not the kick, you dummy!"
Yamagishi apologized, "Oh! Yeah! Sorry... ha-ha," with a weird smile.
Takemichi,walk to recruit members, sighed, "it's like my daily shift."
