Chapter Text
“Reo, tell me honestly.”
At eight o’clock in the evening in the England building, Mikage Reo had just returned to the dormitory after taking a shower. Before he could even dry his hair, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Kurona Ranze standing at the door with a look on his face. His expression was very serious, and he looked like he was seeking revenge. Reo searched his mind to see if he had done anything to make him angry recently, after searching to no avail, he calmly told Kurona that today’s training was over, if he wanted to have a friendly match, please come back next time. Unexpectedly, Kurona gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely, then said such a sentence without any context.
“Did you mark Isagi?”
Mikage Reo was stunned for a moment, he even stopped wiping his hair. He looked at Kurona who did not seem to be joking. It took him a few seconds to find his voice: “Ah?”
Currently, Isagi Yoichi from the German building had no idea that Kurona had applied for permission to go to the England building just to question whether Reo had marked him. Most of the members in Blue Lock are alphas, betas are very few, and omegas are almost extinct. As a beta, Isagi Yoichi was originally very satisfied with his ability of not being able to be affected by pheromones. Because of this, he was like a fish in water on the field, and the aggressive pheromones exuded by alphas when they were caught up in the game had no effect on him.
Two days ago, Ego Jinpachi suddenly called him to the office, hands folded under his chin, and said very seriously: “Isagi Yoichi, you need change your shower gel for the time being.”
“Shower gel?” Isagi did not understand what Ego meant.
Why must he tell him alone if it’s just about changing shower gel?
“It’s like this.” Ego snapped his fingers, and the screen behind him suddenly turned into a shower gel advertisement. It showed a series of beautifully packaged, flashy looking shower gels, Isagi was almost blinded by the luxurious shower gel advertisement in front of him, plus that advertisement even added special effects which made it looked like a Disney animated movie. Isagi could not help but exclaim that now even shower gel advertisements could be so fancy to such an extent.
After the advertisement of 10 or so seconds ended, Ego looked at him and said seriously: “This brand of shower gel has invested in Blue Lock, and specifically want you to test out this series of shower gel and give them feedback on the results. They will then put this shower gel into the market. By the way, although this shower gel is still in the preorder stage, the number of pre-sales has exceeded 30 million worldwide, so the result of your experience is very important.”
When Isagi heard the number “30 million”, he could not help but open his eyes wide.
Would an ordinary shower gel sell such a terrifying amount in the preorder stage?
Although Isagi had doubts about this, Ego used the reason that “Blue Lock members cannot refuse a brand’s testing invitation” and told him to take the shower gels back to the bathroom, and before Isagi left the office, Ego even specifically warned him that this shower gel could not be used by others, it could only be used by him alone, this was also what the brand wanted.
After Isagi left, Anri walked up to Ego and asked him a little worriedly: “Is it really okay to not tell him that this series of shower gel is based on the pheromones of popular Blue Lock members?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Ego crossed his legs and took a sip of his instant noodles, “He is a beta and won’t find out.”
Anri was choked a little and could not help but began to sympathize with Isagi.
Although he is a beta and could not smell scents on himself, it does not mean that the others could not smell it either.
Isagi happened to use the violet version of the new shower gel yesterday, the smell of violet was exactly the same as Reo’s pheromone scent. Moreover, the main advertising point of this series of shower gel was its longevity, the sillage was also particularly strong. Therefore, after a whole day of training, almost everyone in the German building could smell the pheromone scent on him that was the same as that of Reo.
Kurona had endured it for a whole day, and finally could not bear it. At the end of the training, he found Isagi and said as if he had made up his mind about something: “Isagi, did Reo do something to you?”
“What?” Isagi looked confused, “Why did you suddenly mention Reo?”
Kurona showed his shark teeth, like a puppy baring his teeth: “I will settle the score with him.”
And so, under the premise of Isagi not understanding the situation at all, Kurona rushed to the England building alone, looked for Reo and questioned Reo if he had marked Isagi.
Although betas could not be permanently marked by alphas, powerful alphas could still leave scents on betas through a temporary claim. Kurona firmly believes that Reo must have bitten Isagi’s neck, which was how he left such a thick scent of violet on his body.
“I did not mark him.” There was an almost negligible voice in Reo’s heart saying: although I really want to.
Kurona looked unbelieving: “Then why does he have the smell of your pheromones on his body?”
“Isagi smells of my pheromones?” Reo looked even more shocked than him, “I’ll go take a look with you.”
Although it was strange for Reo to apply to go to the German building at night, but because he was high-ranked and seemed to have something serious to do, the application was still approved.
Kurona and Reo came to the door of the German building's dormitory together.
Reo glanced at Kurona, his purple eyes full of suspicion: “Kurona, are you lying to me?”
How could there be such a good thing as waking up one day and the beta you like was full of the scent of your own pheromones?
Kurona said firmly: “I’m not lying to you, if you don’t believe me, wait until Isagi comes over and open the door, smell his scent yourself.”
Reo was dubious, he raised his hand and knocked on the dormitory door in front of him.
The dormitory door was quickly opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door just happened to be Isagi.
He has finished today’s training and came back after taking a shower. In order to test every type of shower gel, he specially changed to another scent today.
It was Reo’s violet scent yesterday, and today...
Reo and Kurona’s faces turned dark at the same time.
Reo turned to look at Kurona, his tone gloomy: “What is going on?”
Kurona wrinkled his nose and smelled the air, the expression on his face becoming serious and scary.
Reo then gritted his teeth and said:
“Isn’t this... the scent of Nagi’s pheromones?”
-Nagi’s side-
After Nagi returned to the dormitory, he found Chigiri sitting on the bed, while Reo who had returned earlier than him, was nowhere to be seen.
He felt it strange and asked casually: “Chigiri, where did Reo went?”
Chigiri answered him while arranging his hair: “He was called away by Kurona, and he looked like he was accusing him of something. I don’t know where they went.”
“Oh...” Nagi responded lazily, looking uninterested, but the next second, he suddenly sneezed hard.
The 1.9-meter tall Miffy rubbed his nose with his fingers and muttered: “Why do I feel like someone is scolding me?”
