"i challange y'all to fight me but if you all lose that guy
over there will decide your punishment, now come y'all at me altogether if you all can!" says haru to all the bullies, fearlessly.
"Boss i think this guy is full of himself, let's show him who we are!"
Seeing haru's body language that suddenly turns from a normal one to a fighter one, shocks the crap out of them.
"Boys don't be afraid our boss will take care of this moron" one of bullies says and then all of them but their boss step back, letting thier boss to fight with haru.
And when the boss of the bullies notices that he's gonna be the only one to fight against him, with a sweaty face and complete nervousness he runs towards haru with a punch and like a piece of cake
haru dodges it. The bully keeps punching him from the upside, downside, left and right while haru keeps dodging it as child's play to him "damn you don't even know how to fight properly!", while
the bully tries his very best to swinge him. The fighting continue like this for about 3min yet the bully can't able to hit him.
"Darn, how long will it continue like this, i'm dog-tired now!!", one of the bully responses.
"WHY DON'T HE JUST DIE ALREADY!!" the boss speaks wrathfully.
Suddenly haru punches on his face then stretches his ear.
The bully shrieks *ARGHH!!!*
And finally in a single blow haru knocks him down, the bully *WHACK!*.
*THUD!* he collapsed on the ground.
Seeing him on the ground like that, all of his friends rushes towards him saying, "B-BOSS!, BOSS!, BOSS!".
"B-OSS?! B-OSS IS NOT RESPONING...HE IS D-DEAD!!!" one of the bullies speaks fearsomely to others.
-"shut it, you little!".
Thankfully their boss gains the conscious slowly "ahh!".
"B-BOSS!, BOSS!".
-"JUST SHUT UP YOU ALL AND HELP ME GETTING UP!".
All of his friends then lend him their shoulders and hands and takes him back to his home.
"Luckily he's alive!", haru says to them with a smirk.
Then haru lends out his hand to that guy who was being bullied "here!".
"W-who are you?", that guy asks.
Haru with politeness replies, "don't worry you can trust me!".
"Boss i thought your ears would fell off!", "Shut up punk!" (bullies speaks in the background while on their way back to home with their injured boss).
"Wait y'all", says haru to all of them bullies. Then all of them stop right there and turn back, looking at haru saying, "w-what now?!".
"I guess you guys have forgotten our deal".
"Which deal?" one of the bully responses.
"That if you all lose, you are all going to be punished by this guy...", haru says to them while pointing at that poor guy, who was being bullied by them.
Haru's words give fright to all of them bullies, "EHHHHH????".
"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND, YOU PRICK!" the boss of the bullies reply ragely.
"Hmm i think my punch didn't work well on you...i should've punched you four or five times...you guys have two choice...either be punished by that guy or get ten punches on each of your faces..".
Suddenly all of the bullies kneel down before that guy and ask him to punish em since nobody of them wants to be beaten by haru.
"But, but, i don't wanna punish anyone!" that poor guy replies.
"Hmm looks like it's already written in your fates to be punched by me" haru responses with a smirk.
"YOU IDIO-...JUST SLAP US ALREADY!!!", says all the bullies to that guy.
Then that guy collects some courage and in one blow he slaps all of them hardly and knocks them all down on the ground.
After that all haru and that guy walk together..so haru asks him for his name.
-"Shouta!, shouta tomioka!", that guy answers nervously.
-"hmm nice name!".
Then shouta thanks haru for saving him from them, "thank you by the way!".
-"for what?".
-"For saving me from them bullies...i really owe you one!".
"It's okay...i just didn't wanna leave you alone as i felt a kind of responsibility within me to save you.
And then they both continue their walk.
After coming back from her work, sakura first goes to haru's apartment to check up on haru.
*KNOCK KNOCK!* "Haru!" she says.
Haru who's with shouta in his apartment right now when hears sakura calling him outside, he immediately opens the door.
Seeing shouta standing behind him, wonders her. "Ohh sakura! please come inside!" haru says.
-"Yeah thanks...by the way who's he?" she asks haru.
-"He's my new friend, we just met on our way and i thought of inviting him over!". haru answers.
"Hello! i am shouta! shouta tomioka" says shouta to sakura.
-"Ohh hey! it's sakura..sakura akari!".
-"hmm sakura...nice name!" says shouta.
Then sakura makes some ramens for three of them.
And then after finishing the dinner sakura decides to leave since she always has to wake up early in the morning for her job, "goodnight you both!", waving her hands towards both of them.
-"Goodnight!", "goodnight sakura!".
And after when sakura leaves, haru and shouta talk on random topics and stuff.
"You own such a cool apartment, coool!" says shouta to haru.
At which haru answers, "honestly it's not mine, it's sakura's, haha".
-"Sakura's?? how come do you live in her apartment?".
- "It's a very long story and i bet even if i explain you, you're never going to believe me".
"Hey don't you trust me???" shouta says in an upset way.
-"it's not that i don't trust you it's just that my story will be just like some fictional ones!".
"OHHH FICTIONAL?? YOU KNOW WHAT I HONESTLY LOVE FICTIONAL STORIES AND STUFF, SO GO AHEAD AND EXPLAIN ME YOUR STORIES, I AM ALL EARS!!!" shouta responses.
Then haru reveals his identity to shouta as well and explains how and why did he end up in this world which truly amazes shouta from head to toe, "coool!!!!" he says to haru in excitement.
"Yet one thing is bothering me!" says haru.
-"And what is it exactly?".
-"I don't know how to go back to my world like i can't stay here for longer!".
Shouta thinks about it alot and after sometimes he responses to haru that, "haru! i think the hole by which you can go to your world, is present somewhere around the area where sakura usually
sings the lullaby!".
"How do you know??" haru questions.
And with boldness shouta explains haru that, "see just like you told me that you you ended up in this world through a hole which was inside the cave and the cave was in the back of your castle then i
think we can find the hole that can help you bring back to thw world you belong to.....fortunately there's also a forest in the back of this apartment and i have guts that other hole will be
somewhere there".
After hearing shouta's idea haru agrees to it and decides to meet again the next day at the entrance point of the forest.
*NEXT DAY*
While haru waits for shouta at the same spot where they decided to meet, shouta buys some potato chips and soda for haru and himself and then rushes to the same spot as haru.
After 10 minutes shouta arrives, "HEYY BUDDY!" while waving his hand to haru.
"Where were you?" haru asks.
-"I thought that meeting you with empty hands would be unfair so i bought some snacks for us, afterall we're gonna be super tired soon and i am so excited already, yoohoo!!! lesgoo!!" and
the shouta quickly enters inside the forest while keep singing random songs.
"Oh God this guy!" says haru and walks inside as well.
Shouta take out the map of that forest they both are in, "This map is going to aid us alot today, my friend!" he says to haru.
"Okay okay but what are these red marking all the map?" haru questions.
-"Actually last night i had already marked all the public places where we are not going to because i am sure that such a unique hole should be present in such a place where nobody's ever visited before!".
Almost all the ideas of shouta, amazes him and he thinks, "i didn't know that he would be this smart!".
"I told you that i know fictional stuff very much!" says shouta at which haru wonders if he's a minder reader too, "are you a mind reader?".
-"Ya what are you talking about man? hurry in we have to find out the hole as soon as possible!!"
"Damn this guy is more worked up than me!" haru thinks.
They keep searching all over the forest but find not a single clue related to the other hole.
"Ya haru i am super exhausted right now, let's take a break!!" shouta says in a WEARY way.
Then they both take a mini break and sit beneath an ancient tree and eat the snacks that shouta with himself early.
"right!... let's get on our incomplete mission!!" says shouta.
And as soon as they both gets up, shouta hits that old tree saying, "ARGHH WHERE THE THE HECK IS THIS HOLE??!!".
Suddenly the same hole as before starts to occur in the tree by shouta hitting on it, "AAAAA!!! W-WHAT'S HAPPENING??!!".
"i-i can't that this would come out of this tree!", says haru amazingly.
"Wait what?...is this the same hole that we have been looking for since morning??", shouta asks haru while his eye wide open.
"Yes!!! YES YES YES THIS IS THAT HOLE...I AM HUNDRED PERCENT SURE OF IT!!!", haru answers happily.
Then they both hug each other and thrillingly saying, "WE DID IT! WE DID IT!".
Before going back to his world, haru requests shouta to deliver a message of him to sakura at shouta agrees.
"Shouta.... what i am going to say is both for you and sakura so pay attention to it carefully, okay?".
-"Sure, now go ahead i am all ears!".
"Shouta and sakura, i am both happy and sorry... i am happy that i met you guys and i am sad that now i am leaving you both behind, but it doesn't mean that i'll ever forget you guys. You guys
truly helped me when i thought i'd be all alone in this world. Thanks to you both i had loads of fun and the ramens have got my heart....i promise i'll come back here asap and i hope next time when we
meet again, we will have much more fun together than this time...please wait for me and never forget me even if i delay my returning...take care you both...my best friends, shouta tomioka and
sakura akari!".
After hearing to what haru, shouta cries his eyes out.
"Hey! w-why are you crying, man?" haru responses.
"I have never heard such touchy words for me from anyone!.....now i know why everyone calls you cute" shouta replies, at which haru hugs him and comforts him saying, "I am glad that we met...".
-"YAA SEROUSLY STOP IT, YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY MORE....!".
After that all haru finally says a goodbye to shouta and steps in the hole.
