Chapter 17: The Oath of the King

It was an hour before 10pm. The gates of the campus would be closed at exactly 10pm.

A very tired Hiroko entered the gate and walked toward the boy’s dormitory.

After he failed to find that Gaijin at his house, he ran out of the house as fast as he could!

It was when he was out of town; he realized that he had been running for more than an hour, and in the opposite direction of the school campus.

After realizing his mistake, he turned around and started to walk back toward the school.

At that time, his wrist watch showed that it was after six in the evening. He stopped at a bus stop only to realize that he didn’t have money to buy a ticket. With a heavy sigh, he started to walk back toward the campus.

Since he paid his and Alex’s bus fair, he had run out of money. Due to the rush, he forgot to take the money he had hidden under his bed in his bedroom.

At first, he was angry at his mother for ruining his prank, but the thought of that Gaijin being punished by his mother soothed his pain a bit.

With the thought of the Gaijin being punished by his mother, and also thinking about his next prank, he kept walking.

It was after 9pm when he reached the campus. He was very thirsty and extremely tired, so he just walked to his dorm room which was already open.

“Oh, it’s you, Hiroko!”

Of course, Hiroko was shocked to find this Gaijin in the dorm room, and with such a light and happy mood.

“Thanks man, but you shouldn’t do things like that for me in the future. While it was great, I know it must cost you a fortune to hire such a talented one.”

“What? Who?”

“Ah, don’t make fun of me. I am talking about that prostitute.”

“WHAT?”

All the color drained from Hiroko’s face at the mention of the word ‘Prostitute’.

Still, he asked him in shaky voice, “Where did you see her?”

“At your house! I thought you would join us or something. But, I hope you don’t mind. I mean she is a Fire Ball of a Woman.”

With that, Alex winked at Hiroko.

“You know what I mean, right?”

Alex’s looked at his phone as it started to ring.

“Oh, it’s Dad. Sorry, I have to take this.”

With that, Alex walked out of the house.

Hiroko fell down on the floor of the room, crying earnestly.

“My King, you are here! We have been searching the entire campus for you.”

The General of his Pranking Army spoke while walking inside the dorm room. He was followed by the twin Captains.

Hiroko looked at his Army members with teary eyes.

“What happened Boss?”

“Yes, Boss why are you crying?”

After taking few deep breaths Hiroko spoke: “Miss Chisaka knows that I was off campus and visiting my house.”

“What?”

“How?” Asked the twin Captains.

“Yes my King, how did our Vice Principal find out about you going out and visiting your home?”

“Because, she visited my house?”

“What, that’s impossible boss?”

“Yes, Boss she was inside her office all day and hasn’t left her office.”

“Yes My King, she is in her office even now!”

“What?”

Hiroko looked at his army with hope and confusion.

“Yes My King, we were keeping watch at our Vice Principal’s office she never left her office.”

“Then why did that Gaijin said that she was at my home?”
