"Big brother… I'm pretty sure Kashima-dono is fuming by now…" Yumi remarked, following a step behind me as I led our small group towards the agreed meeting place.
"I have to agree with Yumi-san on this one, Aniki. That was actually the most stressful ramen I've ever had… Maybe we should call the others instead of going there with just the three of us?" Hiroto added.
I chuckled at them, "You two worry too much. I did say I have everything under control, didn't I? Or do the two of you have so little faith in me?"
"No! That's not the case, big brother!"
"Never, Aniki!"
Both of them denied with panicked expressions, to which I just laughed it off.
We soon reached the nightclub where the meeting was supposed to take place. Given that it was still in the afternoon, it was supposed to be closed so there wasn't anyone around other than us and a single bouncer standing outside the entrance.
