Chapter 586: Unruly Request

Acknowledging the complaints, the security guard responded politely, “We’ll take care of it, esteemed guests.”

The people who voiced their concerns seemed affluent, their attire suggesting wealth and status. The guard, not wanting to offend these prominent individuals, approached the group of teenagers.

The young crowd, who were full of excitement, didn’t appear to have much influence or importance. While no airport rules prohibited lively goodbyes, the guard understood that keeping the peace was part of his duty.

As the guard approached the group, Hiro was among them. He had been absorbed in the warmth of his friends’ company, their laughter helping him forget the nervousness that had been tugging at him all morning.

This farewell at the airport was a bittersweet moment, one filled with excitement about his next step and a tinge of sadness about parting ways with his friends. Just as the guard cleared his throat to speak, Hiro noticed him.

“Sorry to interrupt, but could you keep it down a bit?” the guard asked, trying to be polite but firm.

The group fell silent upon hearing him, exchanging glances. Hiro stepped forward,

understanding the situation, “Of course, we didn’t mean to disturb anyone,” he said with a respectful nod. “We’ll tone it down.”

The guard then gave him a respectful nod before turning to leave. Although he didn’t speak rudely, other members didn’t like getting interrupted.

Especially Tatsuki, he couldn’t stop complaining, “We can’t even bid farewell to our friend? From when did they start imposing such a rule that stated that you can’t have lively goodbyes?”

He was annoyed by the guard’s insistence to quieten down. After all, other people inside the airport were being equally loud. So, how could he only demand them to tone it down?

Hiro, however, didn’t want to create an issue. So, he heeded his request without any signs of hesitation.

After that, he helped others to quiet down. He wanted to avoid creating a ruckus as much as possible. Aware of Tatsuki’s short temper, he first helped him calm down.

They then resumed their conversation. Compared to a moment ago, they had quietened substantially. Even so, he found the guard approaching them.

At this point, they weren’t even being that loud. So, why was he heading their way again? For sure, it shouldn’t have something to do with them.

Hiro tried to dismiss the thought. After all, he might be overthinking. So, he ignored the approaching guard and continued to chat with his friends.

However, a little later, he found the guard stopping beside them.

“Dear guests, can you quieten your tone a little more? I know I have already said it before and I’m well aware that you have lowered your voices. But other customers are still complaining. So, I hope you’ll understand my position,” the guard said courteously.

He appeared genuine about the things he had spoken.

Even so, Tatsuki who had barely held himself previously couldn’t receive the criticism any further. Hearing his words made his blood boil.

The previous warning had already spoiled his mood. But now that he was hearing it for the second time, he couldn’t hold back. So, he snapped, “What do you mean by quieten down? We aren’t even making that much noise. Are you targeting us deliberately because we all look young?”

The guard upon hearing him felt his heart palpitate for a split second. He appeared like the spitting image of an enraged bear.

Even so, he tried to calm the situation. Apologizing continuously, he asked Tatsuki to calm down. But he wouldn’t calm down at all.

Well, he wasn’t in the wrong.

Other members were equally annoyed by the unruly request.

“Yeah, we aren’t even making that much noise. So, why do you keep asking us to lower our voices?”

“Can’t we even talk?”

Slowly, the commotion spread as others chimed in. The other guards that were stationed away also made their way to them after seeing their colleague in a difficult situation.

The previous guard was trying his best to mediate the situation. But it didn’t seem like they were in the mood to listen.

With so many of them fighting against the guard, even Hiro couldn’t contain the situation. But who exactly was this customer, he kept mentioning? Hiro couldn’t help but feel curious about the customers who kept complaining.

By now, a lot of people had gathered over there. There were even a few who were making a video. The guards were finding it equally difficult to control the situation.

Hiro with his mouth shut kept sweeping his gaze through the crowd, searching for the people who had complained.

There were a few that caught his interest. But he couldn’t be sure if it was them. So, he asked the guards, “Sir, can you tell who those people are?”

The guard looked at him skeptically. Was he going to find trouble with those people? He couldn’t help but feel worried. So, he felt rather hesitant to point them out.

Hiro saw through his hesitation and assured him, “We just want to apologize to them directly. You don’t have to feel troubled, sir.”

Though he sounded convincing, the guard couldn’t bring himself to trust him fully. After all, the people before him appeared as if they would punch them in the face.

Especially, Tatsuki.

“Why should we apo-‘

“1

Tatsuki was about to complain but was interrupted by Naoto. He could see through Hiro’s intention. So, he didn’t want Tatsuki to disrupt the opportunity he had created.

The guard then hesitantly said, “If you really want to apologize then I’ll bring you to them.

But you can’t bring him with you.”

By him, he was indicating to Tatsuki.

“Sure, sir,” Hiro nodded, his tone polite.

Sighing, the guard then brought him to the people who had complained. They clearly looked unhappy about facing him.

“We asked you to quieten them down. But why have you brought one of them here instead?” scoffed a rather affluent-looking old lady.

The lady was covered in luxurious brands from head to toe. Almost every single part of her body was oozing luxury.
