This is the best day of my life! Kids are playing, birds are singing, the sun is out and the sky is cerulean. What more could you want on the day your 10 year old little sister asked you out to go with her on a picnic and her two best friends?
"Cilia, can you please introduce your two companions to your dear brother as he finishes all preparations."
"Big brother, there is absolutely no need to act so unfamiliar with them. You already know what their names are."
"Oh, Cilia. Don't you understand that this is important for the future, if I plan on making them my wives"
"Big brother! That is not fair! You said that I am the only girl you'll ever love"
"You are completely correct," said Gregor, who had just finished with what he was doing, while turning around to hug his sister and kiss her on her forehead. "You are my cute baby sister who will stay a girl forever, never aging. Thus, you'll be the only girl I'll ever love."
"But then why-"
"Because unlike you, Susie and Chaosu are not my baby sister. Therefore, they will grow up into beautiful women who will carry my children."
"I thought babies come from Heaven. How are they supposed to carry them?"
"... When they fall down from Heaven, my wives will be there to catch them and hold them... Dummy!"
Gregor said the last part while flicking her forehead with his index finger, before turning to look at the distant cloud by the horizon; where it seemed to merge with the slowly descending sun. It was then that it happened. For a brief moment Gregor started smiling, but even as he smiled- his eyes showed a different emotion from the one he was trying to convey- they showed melancholy.
'How could I have ended up like this? To think that the day would come when I would be like those losers in the light novels I used to read back in middle school. No! I'm even worse. Those losers sisters were at least in highschool, but here I am thinking of doing it with my 10 year old sister and her friends!
''I think it is best if I start avoiding her so that she does not get influenced by people like me. Gnnnngh!'
"DAMN YOU LUCIA!!"
"Big Brother! What's wrong? You are scaring me."
Gregor finally realizing where he was when he looked around and saw a lot of people staring at him as if he was mad. He immediately apologized while his blushed beet red, before turning to his group.
Only, when he finally turned, he noticed that his group was on edge; slowly backing away from him with tinges of fear. Realising what he apologised sincerely to them and said that Lucia is a very bad person who does not deserved to be loved.
The group relaxed after and even forgot about the earlier incident when they started eating chocolate cake, but Gregor didn't. For even at this moment as he smiled and laughed with the cheery group, the thoughts of revenge playing around in his head weren't.
*2 months ago*
"Ring! Ring! Ri~ slam!!"
"Fuuck!"
My bedroom slowly comes into focus as I sit up in bed and stretch my back. As I turn to my right to check the time, only then do I realise that because I woke up annoyed by the alarm; I ended up smashing my phone!
"Damn! Today is my first day of high school and I don't have a phone. Forget being unpopular, all the girls won't even look at me; let alone become part of my harem."
It is very tragic and regrettable, but things went just the way our MC here predicted. Although his looks are better than most men and could be considered handsome in a malevolent way, because of his untidy brownish-black hair and the sharp contrast of his golden-brown pupils. At the end of the day, a high schooler with no phone is like a snake with no fangs; which would defeat the whole purpose.
At the beginning it was all fine for the first two weeks and he even made a good first impression of himself to his classmates. A lot of people would laugh at his jokes, although some of them went a little too far like the time he solved a math sum on the board in a way that made it look like a nude woman.
This just further convinced people that Gregor was a bad boy; and one who is daring at that. Earning him the nickname Daredevil.
Nonetheless all good things must come to an end and his came in the form of a girl with purple extensions in her hair asking him for his number in front of his entire class while blushing like a red tomato.
Of course he could have rejected the girl, but Gregor being the bad boy he was; told his class two days ago that he would get Lucia to become his girlfriend before the end of this week. Never would he have thought that she had feelings for him as well, since he was planning on asking her out tomorrow afternoon on Friday while explaining his situation.
"I...I..I..."
"Daredevil! What's wrong? Isn't that the girl from the class next door whom you told us that you liked? Just give her your number already."
"Damn! It must be lucky to be handsome and popular with the ladies. You even hesitating to give one of the hottest girls in our grade your number."
"Yeah, you are completely correct. If it was me, I would be kneeling right now just to have her write the number faster."
"Come on guys, Daredevil isn't like that. I know him better than that, I just think he's hesitating because he hasn't come to terms with the fact that his crush also liked him."
,"Oooooh! That's so cuuute! It's like they were destined to be together; just like a fairy tale."
"Dude, grow some balls already and be a man! Time doesn't wait for any body, or else I'll take her for myself!"
"HAHAHA! Who are kidding? You think someone as refined and beautiful as Lucia would date someone as big, ugly and sweaty as you? Talk about a toad craving swan meat."
"Hey... Tiara, that hurts rea-"
"Nobody cares! Now let's all encourage him"
"DARE~DEVIL! DARE~DEVIL! DARE~DEVIL! DARE~DEV-"
"Shut up!"
Gregor who was the recipient of most of these comments could not take it anymore and so decided to come out with the truth. He knew that even though he could still play it off as cool right now and tell the girl that it was his job as the man to collect her number instead; the truth would eventually get out which would further complicate things.
Especially now that his mom refused to fix or buy him a new phone; telling him that what happened is good since it would just get in the way of his studies.
"Guys... I'm grateful and all for your support and Lucia... I really do love you, but I currently... Don't have a phone!"
Without meaning to, Gregor ended up shouting the last part of his unique confession in embarrassment, since he's never told anyone about his personal feelings before; especially in front of such a large crowd.
We can guess what happens afterwards:
1. Lucia and the class looks at him shocked not knowing what to do,
2. Lucia and the class start laughing at him, congratulating him on another one of his jokes,or
3. Lucia walks out of the classroom like she wasn't there to begin with.
Here is what happens.
Gregor - embarrassed and nervous - not knowing how everyone would react was looking at his feet, but when he noticed that the room had been silent all this time; he looked up only to see Lucia glaring at him while a short girl cried next to her before running out of class.
He later found out that the confession was actually from the short girl after being insulted by Lucia and then by all the girls in his class for making a girl cry, even though they were as ignorant about this situation as him, even egging him to date Lucia.
Alas, in every dark cloud, there is a silver lining. The class didn't seem to care much about the fact that Gregor didn't have a phone. Instead, they were shocked at the fact that Gregor ever thought that he was at the level where he could date Lucia, the goddess of Class 2. This pissed him off, because they were the ones who were encouraging him in the beginning.
"Truly, a toad craving after swan meat!" Tyson said, disgust evident on his face.
"Tyson!!" Gregor shouted shocked.
"Hey! Don't steal my lines to try and act cool." Tiara pouted.
"Don't worry honey, I'll repay you back with my love and kisses."
"Just stay away from me you freak!"
"HAHAHA"
*******
Of course at the end of the day, all of this couldn't possibly force a man to have dirty thoughts about their 10 year old sister, but Gregor is different. He is the kind of person who is easily controlled by their pride, thus even the most insignificant jokes would have him looking for revenge.
What Lucia done to him was not just some simple joke. In Gregor's eyes, she tricked him. Not only did she ask him for his number while blushing, causing him to believe that she actually liked him. She even insulted him in front of his peers and caused his classmates to lose all the respect they had of him.
This was the invisible final line she should never have crossed and now, 'She will pay'. He silently vowed to himself as he gripped his fist.
"Mister Gregor-"
"Chaosu, Just call me Honey! You too, Susie"
"Why?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You'll start to look cool."
""Okay!""
"Honey, will you please tell us who made you angry this time?"
"What! I'm not angry."
"You are. Celia told us that your eyes always look like this when you are out for revenge."
"No, Celia must have been lying to you, for I would never do that."
"Celia would never lie to us, she even said that you once got revenge on one of your middle school teachers by-"
Before Chaosu could even finish, Celia was on her with her hands covering Chaosu's mouth.
"Big Brother, she doesn't know what she is talking about!" Celia said, sweating while trying to avoid her brother's eyes.
