I woke up and eventually realized that we are already inside our town. My neck stiff a little bit it's probably because I slept for couple of hours in bad sleeping position. I stretches my neck sideways and let out a number of yawn. "I'm tired after doing lots of work. I couldn't do anything about since they keep coming after me." I speak to myself as watches my reflection on window.
Anyway, there are still matters needed to be solved. "The different third parties that spying on me yesterday..." I can only wonder who they are since I only noticed their presence when they reach a certain distance. "Considering the possibility of I'm being monitor few days before things like this shouldn't be ignore on top of that there is a rumor about notorious individual on six division." I take a deep sigh and started to think of a plan to eliminate all the problems at once.
"I didn't fully observe the situation earlier due to my focus on Melissa but if the multiple tails yesterday follow us even outside of the town, it means they really are something else." I cannot think of objective of multiple stalkers other than monitoring me, so I put everything into consideration and have another back up plan. "I only needed two steps to eliminate the multiple problems... The first one is confrontation and lastly, violence."
"So you are awake now, Ameguri-kun..." I put my plan at the back of my head after hearing someone talk to me. I averted my gaze into her direction and focus on her alone. The person who called me out is Tachibana, she is holding a water bottle. I notices it earlier when we enter car, it's probably a gift from her sibling.
"Do you need something?" I ask her if she needed something from me and the expression on her face which restless turn into serious one.
"Yes, actually I wanted to ask you earlier." She cut her own words and pauses for a couple of seconds to prepare herself by taking a deep breath. "We overheard your conversation with her parents earlier... You stated that your first priority is to deliver Melissa back and what comes after that is hidden agenda. It's not my place to asked but it feels so important as if it's part of bigger puzzle. What is your real purpose for helping her?" She begin the interrogation about my hidden agenda.
Since I cannot lie to her I decided to tell my secondary objective. "Do you still remember what I stated about tea leaves?" I asked a peculiar question which put her in state of confusion.
"Yes, what about it? You told me that it's impossible to get another one of those again..." She raised one of her eyebrows while giving a me reply.
I told her that Melissa reminds me the story of elderly the part where his daughter get into a fight with him and she leave the house. The same goes to Melissa, she get into a conflict with her father and decided to run away from home in order to avoid them.
"I see... I never thought that those tea leaves have deep history." Tachibana muttered after listening to me. Ramirez on the other hand didn't say a word and only listen to us. Tachibana turn her head to face me and speak. "You are surprisingly an odd one Ameguri-kun... You don't want Melissa to have any regrets and decided to make a move for her before it's too late."
I didn't say a single word to her and focus my attention else where, it appears that we already arrive at my house. Ramirez stops the car and I get outside. "Thanks for your help today..." I lowered my head to express my gratitude to Ramirez.
She narrow the distance between us and pat my head. "I should be the one thanking you instead... Now that Melissa is back to her house I can finally have inner peace." Ramirez is probably the type of person who couldn't sleep knowing that the problem remain unsolved. Despite trusting Melissa to me, she couldn't help but worried about her.
I bid my farewell to them and get their personal number, in case emergency happened. I head inside my house and take preparation to raid the six division. Since I don't have any guns in possession, I only carried two daggers. "Now then... Let's see what's happening in six division." I set up a trap inside my house to prevent unnecessary invaders while I'm gone and head into the designated place.
Chapter 5.1
I arrive at the six division, as I expected I'm being followed. The stalkers has been following us around the whole time even outside of the town when we deliver back Melissa to her house. However, now is the time to find out their real objective.
I check the surroundings and sighted fragments of glass from bottle of alcohol scattered everywhere, it appears that a gang fight occur her but there is no trace of life at six division. Other than being occupied ten years ago.
Anyway, one by one I inspected the house around hoping I will find a clue about the notorious individual but the dust remains the same. No traces of it being touch, in other words no human visited this place other than me for more than a decade.
"So it was only a fluke...?" I muttered to myself. But since I deal with small problem it's about time the stalker should show themselves. I can feel someone's presence behind me which has been following me around since yesterday.
I kick the ground and run forward then turn around to see his face maintaining some distance between us. But when I yrun around, I failed to witness his appearance since he wore a mask.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" I didn't recognize him. He is neithet an ally nor enemy. I take safety precautions and put up a fighting stance. My dagger can be thrown since he is within my range, the moment he shows Intent to kill even in the slightest. I'm going to attack him and eliminate him right here and now.
He only stare at me and didn't say word. After couple of seconds he turn his back to me retreating, as.of his completed his purpose.
It's a good opportunity for me, so I pull the dagger out and throw it aiming for his back. Dodging the attack is impossible since I throw it at his blind spot without a doubt my dagger will penetrate his body. However, an unexpected things occur. The dagger has been deflected or rather it didn't thrust him and bounce off.
"What...?" I asked myself due to event unfold. Despite me aiming for his life, he didn't even turn around and keep walking away from me.
When he disappeared, I approaches the dagger and pick it up. "A chain mail huh..." I mumble after realizing the source of his confidence. "Just who are they?" I decided to leave the place since notorious man at rumors doesn't exist.
In the next morning, I woke up earlier than usual but I will be going to school at the same time.
"I wonder what happened to Melissa now." I speak to myself as I drink my tea. "I keep hidden what happened to her limited only to four of us(her parents, Melissa and me). They know the incident about [erap] and what happened to her after but I keep the things she doesn't wanted them to know to myself." I take a deep sigh and prepare everything before I leave. "Anyway, I didn't inform my teacher about my absence yesterday, I hope she won't ask me anything about it." Lying isn't really my specialty, so if she ask me the reason I might ended up telling her the truth which is something I'd like to avoid. "I just hope, she won't ask me anything about my absence..." I take another deep sigh and lock the door carefully before going to school.
The usual time which is five minutes before the class begins I arrive at the school. I plan to change my outdoor shoes into indoor shoes but when I open the locker I sighted an envelope inside. "What is this?" I muttered to myself while picking up the envelope. I temporary put it aside until I changes my shoes, to prevent late arrival.
While walking on the hallway, I open the envelope and read the contents. It's says... "After class, can we meet each other at the back of school building..." It wasn't a question but a request for my appearance at the specific location. I keep staring at the letter, and without my knowledge I reaches our classroom.
Some of my classmates were looking at me but I didn't pay attention to them and just casually head into my seat. I'm still holding the letter on my hand, so I put it inside my notebook and waited for the class to start.
Few seconds later, our homeroom teacher Ishigami Naomi head inside. She glance at me for a couple of seconds and greeted the whole class, it seems she isn't going to ask me about my absence which put me at ease. For now I disregard the thoughts about letter in my head and focus my attention to her lessons.
"No matter where middle school or highschool, I don't socialize with my classmates. As a result I don't have a single friend." Well, I don't have time to make friends anyway since my schedule is always full. Besides I think no one wants to be friends with me, since they are wary about my violent behavior.
Chapter 5.2
The class is over and I immediately stand up to advance at the meeting place. While walking towards my destination I start talking to myself and think about the letter I received earlier. "It's not my first time receiving such an invitation letter..."
I remember what happened to me back when I was in middle school. "I received letter with the same contents at the same place... I don't know why they keep putting the letter inside my locker but it's probably the best place because it can easily be seen by receiver."
Anyway, I head into the designated place and sighted an odd looking man... He is slightly tall and have a balance body. My physique is better than him in every way but he is someone capable of fighting in the least.
"So, you have come... Ameguri Hayama..." He speak to me after noticing my arrival then with his index finger, he poke his glasses and slightly raise it. I sighted his black eyes which has been sharply glaring at me.
"What do you want?" I asked for his objective but he remain silent and didn't give me a proper answer. Instead his face turn slightly red and his body begins to tremble.
"Ahem..." He cleared his throat and state me his reasons. "It's just what the letter says... I wanted to meet you at the back of school building where no one can see us..." He keep on fidgeting at me with flustered face. I don't know what he wants but I'm certain of one thing, he is definitely suspicious. "Anyway, I know you are man... And liking the same sex doesn't reduce one manliness..."
"What is he talking about? I don't have any idea. But it's true we both like something in common which not reduce our manliness infact in my opinion it boosts it." I talk to myself and listen to him.
"I don't care what everyone says. Even if you are a man, you have cute side on you too which I find attractive... So Ameguri Hayama I like y-" He didn't manage to finish his words because I kick the ground and immediately throws a punch at his chin. He has gotten dizzy, I use that opportunity to attack his face with consecutive punches.
"Bam! Bam!" The sound of my fist hitting his face could be heard all over the place. I don't know how many times I hit him but he fainted after since he couldn't take my heavy blows unguarded.
I glance at his unconscious body and speak to him out loud. "You are planning to confuse me with random words and attack after... I'd say that's not a bad plan." I praise his amusing plans and remain silent for few moments. "I agree that we both like something in common which is fighting... You like to request a challenge that's why you sent me that letter, right? But you aren't good enough for me..." I turn my back toward him and go home.
"That's basically what happened back in middle school... I never thought someone will request a challenge to me again." As I speak to myself, I arrive the designated place. The person who requested for my appearance isn't present yet, so I lean my back on the wall and put my hands inside my pocket while waiting for the sender to come.
Few minutes have passed, I sense someone taking a step nearby. It appears that the sender arrives at meeting place. The sound of foot steps become loud and clear every second. When I'm certain that the sender is close to me, I open my eyes and stand properly to face that person.
Our eyes meet eachother, it was rather unexpected. I didn't even consider this happening, so I was slightly shock when I see her appearance. "Are you the one who sent the letter? Amane..." The person standing few steps in front of me is my classmate and seatmate, Amane Shina. She has a short black hair which length is equivalent to her shoulders and have a beautiful and thick eye lashes along with black eyes. As for her height it reaches my ears. Her body is slightly slim but it doesn't affect her appearance.
She only nodded to me in response. I close the distance between us and ask her question. "Why did you ask me to come here?" At first I thought it will be to challenge into a fight but I don't think she is the type of person who will ask me those kind of things. So it's either she isn't the sender and happened to arrive here by coincidence or she has a different objective for calling me out. Assume the latter, I don't have any idea so, it's better to ask.
She averted her gaze away from me and focus it on the ground. "Uhm..." She poked the tip of her two index finger to one another and speak to me with blushing face. The tone of her voice is so low but I still could hear her words. "Actually... I... I love you! Please go out with me!" After hesitating for a while, she suddenly shouted at me with her true feelings. Her face is still blushing due to embarrassment and wouldn't make an eye contact.
"She loves me...?" I muttered to myself because it confuse me, just like her arrival at the back of school building. I didn't expect those words to come out of her mouth. I clean my thoughts and regain my composure. "I think her feelings is irrelevant here. Whether she love me for real or not, it's something that shouldn't be directing towards me." I did lots of evil things in the past which most likely murder, so being love is something I couldn't swallow whole heartedly. Even though I'm hesitant because she will get hurt in the process. "What I'm about to do, is going to ruin my principles but I must do it otherwise things will become a lot messier later." Without a further notice, I levitate my right arm and grab her mouth.
"Hump!?" She didn't expect my actions and got startled but I don't have time to think about her feelings right now. I slammed her body on the wall and levitate it.
My answer to her feelings towards me is "violence". This might create psychological scars in her but it's better than sticking together with me and hurt herself after finding out the truth. I tighten my grip on her mouth and forcefully insert my left hand inside her blouse. "It's ironic, the person who saves victim from molester becomes one..." It's against my principle to do this but it's too late to back down and have any regrets. I grasp her small breast and pinch her nipple.
Amane reacted strongly to my actions and keep punching my hands to let her go but the difference in strength between us is like sky and land.
"Can you still say the same thing after this?" I asked her a question while grasping her breast. When I'm done, I remove my hands away from her chest and slide it under her skirt. Her punches starts to get hurt but the pain of knowing the truth is nothing compared to this.
I ignore her actions and make my way under her skirt. My hands slip through her underwear and directly touch her crocth. This is something I learned from the rapist I killed few days ago. Anyway, my hands reaches her clitoris and lightly poke it. She let out a rather strange moan. I don't have any plans on assaulting her since I only wanted to scare her away.
After molesting her, I let her go and stand still prepared to take a blow or two. Despite me not looking at her face directly, I could tell that she is crying in frustration.
Amane narrow the distance between us and slap my cheek, it generates a loud sound that enough for the whole world to hear. Without bathing an eye on her, she runaway from the place and leave me alone. I take a deep sigh and glance at the sky. "I might not be able to attend this school anymore... I guess it's better than seeing her in that state." What I foreseen in my mind is something I don't want to witness personally. Even though I'm speaking hypothetically, the route is already set in stone. If I keep things the way they are now, it will eventually happen.
Chapter 5.3
The day after, I enter the school the usual time and act like nothing happen. I didn't look at her eyes but she is glaring intensely at me. "Well, I molested her, so this is acceptable behavior..." I take a deep sigh and sit down on my seat.
I prepared myself mentally to get arrested today but it seems she didn't call the cops. "I'm not too happy about infact I have a bad feeling that something bad will happen because of it. Whether I accepted her or rejected her feelings I think if it's bound to happen it will happen..."
Naomi sensei enter the classroom and greeted everyone. "Good morning class, I have an announcement today so please keep quiet and listen for a while." She spoke gently to us with a buddah smile on her face.
I was absent minded during those time because I could feel Amane eyes on me. I decided to think about the man I encounter yesterday. As I do that Naomi continue speaking, even though I wasn't listening to her.
"Just a reminder that our second semester just begun, and now we have a transfer student..." She averted her gaze towards the door and call the student. "You can come in now and introduce yourself..."
[A gorgeous women with faint black long hair enter the classroom. A moment of silence occur when she take a single step. Her beautiful face and model body figure probably caught everyone's attention with the exception of two people. Ameguri Hayama who is absent minded and his seat mate Amane Shina who's focus was on Ameguri the whole time.]
[The transfer student look around the classroom probably in search of someone. She stops moving her head when she sighted the person she looking for, and let out a smile.]
"My name is Ayase Diane... I transfer here due to personal reason but I'm hoping I get along with everyone." She introduced herself in boyish way which boys found fascinating. They focus their attention towards her face and some of them look at her chest with lustful eyes.
[There is a phrase that popular among the highschool boys, "the bigger the better". It's basically mean one thing which is obvious...]
[After her introduction, Naomi looks around the classroom in search of empty seat. It might be fortunate that the seat on Ameguri right side is empty or perhaps the fate favors her.]
She seat down on her seat and Naomi leave the classroom to take care of some paperwork for Ayase Diane's transfer.
When the teacher left the classroom some students stands up from their seat hoping they can befriended Diane. However, before they could reach her, she stand up and approaches her seatmate who is absent minded the whole time. "Hayama, it's good to see you again..."
After being called out Ameguri seems to come back to reality and realize that he knows the transfer student. On the other hand, Amane is still glaring intensely at him not bathing any attention to Diane.
"Oh... So the transfer student was you Diane... It was surprising." Without motivation Ameguri reply to her.
"Of course, I have come here for you, be grateful..." She talk back to him while flexing her chest. As if saying that a gorgeous lady come for him and he should be happy because of it.
Loking uninterested. Ameguri just rested his chin on his palm and take a deep sigh.
Diane didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it's Ameguri's normal behavior. Instead she move her face closer to his ear and whisper something. "Hey Hayama... I noticed it for a while but who is that person next to you? She is glaring at you intensely the whole time..."
After being questioned, the two of them take a glance at Amane. He take another deep sigh and explain what happened to Diane making sure that only three of them can heard his explanation.
"Hahaha! That's funny sounds like you!" She listened to him and let out an amused laughter. Then, Diane stand up and approaches Amane. She grab her shoulder and speak to her. "If you don't want me to expose what happened between you and Hayama come with me..." Without being forceful... Or should I say rather using threats she drag Amane outside of the classroom to have a conversation with her.
After they left the room, the students who wanted to talk with Diane approaches Ameguri to ask him question. "Hey Ameguri, at you friends with Ayase?" One of the boys who's interested in Diane asked him.
Hayama just casually look at him and confess. "Diane isn't my friend... Our relationship is complicated so, I appreciate if you stop prying no us. If you are interested in her you should approach her yourself. Don't get me involve..."
