Part Twenty-One: The Invisible Man takes the spotlight

"Hanai, you jerk! If you won't stay with me, then to the first one who can catch me; I will SLEEP with you!" The words caused the ones near the stage to be shocked.

Even a few who were busy stopped all actions.

"Was that Tajima?" The Bloody Assistant stopped in his tracks as he watched Tajima run away from the stage. "Why aren't you going after him?" Oki looked to the other side, where the Invisible Man stood, completely shocked.

Oki shook his head and just continued on his walk. Taking care of Suyama was going to be a pain in his rear. Even if this was probably something that his boss had set up to make up for what happened before.

"Even though he likes this idiot." Oki knew the truth but since the Mad Professor just wanted to make the Stitched Man a bit happy, he would play along in this rouse. Especially since he was going to receive his long awaited vacation.

Coming back to Hanai who managed come to his senses, the Invisible Man started running towards the crowd who had begun following the Cheerful Ghost. He felt somewhat of an idiot since he caused Tajima to do this. He really cared about the boy, but sometimes he just didn't know what to do. And his nature caused him to retreat, but not like the Count, so this was the perfect way for him to make known that Tajima was his.

Tajima knew this. That's why he chose to do it this way. But even if the Cheerful Ghost knew that the Invisible Man was trying to catch him, he wasn't about to let himself be caught. Hanai knew this as well. So he tried to catch the Cheerful Ghost by going to where he knew the boy would run. After all, just as Tajima kept an eye out for him, Hanai was always watching him.

"Stop running so much you idiot!" Hanai caught him by surprise as the others who were following behind saw the Invisible Man catch the Cheerful Ghost.

"Hanai you jerk! You left me behind! Why would you care if I sleep with someone else?" Tajima was on the verge of tears.

"You idiot! Just because of that?! But I'm sorry I'm a coward!" Hanai apologized, "But you can't sleep with anyone else because you're mine!"

The words caused the crowd to start clapping, which in turn surprised the Invisible Man, but this time, Tajima held him tight by the neck, happy in any case.
