[2023- November 09]

"Hehehe.. You're such a naughty!"

A woman, yes a woman.

 Trying to eat to my heart content in this secluded bench I exclusively use, I gulped the food in an instant.

Why of all places, those two lovebirds would come here and disturb my peace.

I'm eating my favorite sandwich on a bench but I can hardly taste it.

 They were practically lost in their own world, doing naughty stuff just a few meters away from me, can't they be considerate..

I looked onto the sandwich I'm holding and thought: should I throw this to them? holding hands and laying hands on each other, my decision seem reasonable.

..

  Finally, my hands is ready, but when I'm about to aim for them, they suddenly decided to leave and flirt somewhere else. Geez..They should have done that sooner.

As I took another bite of my sandwich, the taste seemed to sour in my mouth.

...

"Oh, see. I told you, he's here!"

A familiar irritating voice came from the left side. I looked Where it came from and see the guy from yesterday and what's more he's with his gang.

Another troublesome thing.

I asked Kira his name and it's Mirowa, there he stood for at least six feet away from me with his fellow gang, Three big guys that look like some sort of a a thug were behind him. 

"That's him!" Pointing his finger at me.

"Heh, I told you he will be here, he's the kind of person who's always alone eating in this Isolated bench in our school grounds." 

Huh? What's this guy on about?..

 "Beat him! He pissed me off earlier!" Hearing his words, The three guys stepped forward. "Hindering what my brother ask me to do is a sin, I'll make you regret it,"

Really now? In my peaceful time?... That irritating couple finally left and now this? You gotta be fucking with me.

I've been trying to be alone since I started going out with Kira, and finally I managed to have my own time since she's busy with her school duties and now, again... This guy..Does he have nothing to do and what is he even talking about I'm getting in their way, It should be the other way around.

It's not like I'm not prepared for this kind of thing but this Is unexpected. 

sighed, whatever.. A smirk was formed out of my face and I position my legs well to prepared for the a battle while still maintaining myself on the bench. I'll just deal with them.

The three tall guys surrounded me, while Mirowa stood there confidently with his sinister smile as if he already know what will happen.

He assumes that I'll be beaten here. Well...He's technically right there. There's no way I can win this. There are three guys, if it is only two I can take them down, but just by looking at their ripped body, it's obvious that they're strong.

"Wow!" I raised my two hands and waved it for at least five times. Why did I do that? Well, that is to make them confused and buy some time. Yeah, this fight, before this even started I already lost, but.... 

 "What do we have here? Are you trying to ambush me, perhaps."

"I have nothing against you kid"

The other guy said, "but my boss's brother said that you try to break his arm and I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

"Huh? Break his hand.. you serious? I only did.."

As I saw Mirowa smirked wiggling his faking break arm, I understood the situation.

That guy is acting pitiful to get them follow his command for some reason.

"Heh." I smiled wickedly and without hesitation, I sprint towards where Mirowa is. In this kind of situation, like in the game, you should attack the boss and that'll make you win! 

"What?" 

I avoided and passed one of the big guy that's near him and Immediately landed a kick right in front of Mirowa's face. His face was smashed, remnants of my shoes's dirt on his face remained, just like what I'd plan.

"Wha..Agh!" He loss his balance and unsteadily about to fall onto the ground.

Without giving him time to recover. I punched his face with my full strength. 

"Ahhh!" screamed in anguished, he lost his balance and finally kissed the ground.

"Hahaha... Idiot!" like an insane person would do and laugh sounded like an evil I didn't stop and punched one of his three buddy who hurriedly tried to caught me. 

I kicked his leg but he didn't budge.

Shit, he's tough!

The two guys ran towards me and tried to caught me, too. I didn't let them and distance myself for at a few meters.

"You guys, go easy on me, picking up some ashes from the ground, "I'm your junior, shouldn't my senior be more gentle with Me!" I threw it onto their face. 

"Ugh!"

"urgh!"

Just like that, they were blinded for a few seconds.

"This guy knows how to fight?" Said the bald one that seems surprised.

Of course I know how to fight, Idiots!

 I practiced self defense and other ways to protect myself because this world is such a rotten place.

Don't just suddenly fight someone when you don't even know who are you trying to face. But Well, even so, I don't really care. Sighing, "You ALL are really DUMB!" I laughed and provoke them.

"Isn't there a saying that birds with the same feather flock together?"

 As I observed their furious expressions, their faces turned red, eyebrows knitted together, and their eyes locked onto me with an intense focus. It was as if they had finally found the resolve to finish me off. However, instead of feeling fear, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. The sound of my laughter echoed through the air, perhaps a bit too much.

"Hurry, beat him!" Mirowa, who was lying on the ground, weakly pointed at me with his trembling index finger.

"Fuck!" Cursing under his breath, another person stood behind them, trying to stop his nosebleed.

The three of them closed in on me, surrounding me as they prepared to fight. Despite their size advantage, I managed to land hits on them more frequently, even breaking some of their fingers. However, it became clear that I couldn't win against three opponents. They showed no signs of fatigue, and eventually, I was overpowered. Just as I had anticipated, being outnumbered meant that I would lose in this confrontation.

...

Mirowa approached me, his hand firmly gripping my collar, leaving me unable to move an inch. These two formidable guys were no joke, effortlessly restraining and immobilizing me. I couldn't help but wish they were a bit more gentle in their approach.

"Now who's the idiot?" Mirowa sneered, his burning yellow eyes locked onto mine, a sickeningly proud expression on his face. I don't know if I'll be scared or be amused. His face still has the mark of my shoes. Haha..

"Hey, answer me!" he shouted, slapping my face.

"Are you only capable of slapping? Are you gay?" I taunted, trying to further provoke him, I even spat on his face.

"Huh?... Di-disgusting..." Mirowa exclaimed, his voice filled with disgust and repulsion as he felt the slimy sensation of my saliva in his hand, which he had inadvertently touched to his face.

"F-Fuck you!" Frustrated and fueled by his pent-up anger, he unleashed a powerful punch to my stomach as if there was no tomorrow..

 I sighed, What a good for nothing idiot. His punch was not even worth screaming over. I didn't even feel it. To think he was this weak. It was clear that he was much weaker than I had anticipated. 

 You're still alive and lively, huh?"

What?! Is he asking me that? Did he really thought that I'll die from that! Aww.. men this guy is Hilarious. Maybe he should consider a career in stand-up comedy after graduation.

He looked at me with a demented smile on his face.

"You still have the guts to smile in this situation? Take this, you fucker! Hi-ya!"

With a swift and sharp knee strike, he hit me directly in the face, causing blood to stream from my nose. Ah, what a terrible day. Will I be knocked out here? 

As I thought with those words. Mirowa didn't stop his relentless assault. A few moments later, my body was left battered and bruised, a painful testament to the beating I endured.

...

With my face still down, my gaze fixed on the ground, I heard a woman's voice calling out, "M-matsuki!"

"Gehh?" The four idiots exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with surprise. 

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kira along with other students approaching.

"Shit!" Mirowa and his buddy muttered, their expressions shifting to a restless panic.

Noticing their distraction, I seized the opportunity to break free from their grasp and swiftly stomped on one of the guy's feet.

"A-ahhh!!" he screamed in anguish, losing his balance and clutching his injured foot.

"Stop them at once!" a commanding voice echoed through the air, and I turned to see the President of the Security Council, Youhei Takashi, along with other council students, intervening to confront and apprehend the troublemakers.

"What a bothersome situation," I sighed in relief, grateful that I hadn't been beaten to death. I wasn't sure why the disciplinary and council students had arrived, but that didn't matter at the moment.

Finally released from their hold, I let myself collapse onto the ground. It was a strange feeling, the blades of grass against my back. Despite not being soft, it felt oddly comforting and soothing."

Matsuki-kun!" Kira rushed to my side. Sounded very worried, she knelt down before me and quickly retrieved her handkerchief, using it to gently wipe away the blood on my face.

"Are you okay? Is there any part of you that hurts the most?" she asked, her eyes scanning over every inch of me, her touch gentle as she reached out to touch my arm.

 Why is she  here? And why was she acting like she truly cared?..

"I'm...not fine.." It's obvious that I'm not, just by looking at me, you can see that I'm black and blue. "Sigh.."

"Huhuhu." her tears started to pour down, "I was really worried, I came to find you and here you are all beaten up."

"Kira.."

"Could you please.." shut up.. you're hurting my ear..

"Yes? What should I do? Bring you in the infirmary or stay here for a bit?" she looked at me and get close, so close I can smell her soothing fragrance. What's this?.. Shampoo? Smell like an orange or something.

"I'll be... fine.. if you do something."

"Ehh.. W-what is it?" She hastily asked, bringing her face closer to me.

"I'll do anything so please tell me!""

It hurts...Now that my mind is not busy thinking, I feel like my body was smashed by a truck. It pretty hurts than earlier when I was fighting.

What should I do to alleviate this feeling..Ah.. right. that..

"I'll be fine if you kissed me..." Huh? What am I saying?

"Ehh! K-kiss?" Kira, blushed and become really red, she must have remembered what happened that night.

"Just kiss me and I'll be better," cough* cough*"

"A-are you okay?" Kira wiped the blood that streamed down on my face.

"Just like what I said, kiss me and I'll get better. Don't you know the MC in Tokyo Revenger, when he got beaten, the heroine kissed her and he have gotten better, I swear." I smirked, a brief laugh escaped from my mouth.

"Ehh?? R-really? he got better?"

"Yeah." Hahaha... What am I saying, of course not. Idiot! 

 I'm just joking to get off my mind and myself from the pain I am experiencing. And there's no way she'll believe it though, so I guess it's fine, sigh. She's just dating me because she w-

 Kira, surprisingly, my eyes widen and as I wasn't expecting, Kira leaned closer and closer then kissed me.

I felt her soft pinkish lips and her breathing for a bit. Even though it was just a brief kiss. I was taken aback and wasn't able to move for a bit, it was somewhat sweet taste. 

 Shocked and unable to pronounce a word, the noises around us that I've been hearing have suddenly stopped and I heard my heart thumping so loud.

"A-are you okay now?" She stammered. Looking at her, I see her face as flushed as tomato, her face shining brightly from the sunlight, I didn't know why or how, all I felt was I was drawn to it, teary eyes with flushed cheeks, combined with her scarlet eyes.

...

"No!" I screamed in my mind, my eyes tightly shut as I vigorously shook my head, trying to escape from my own thoughts. Finally, I let out a sigh of relief as I successfully managed to shake off those troubling thoughts.

The hell?... I'm just joking...
