Stealing Spree

Chapter 1151: Civilized Talk

Before leaving Yukari’s house, I thanked her parents for the warm welcome. I intended to come back for another visit. That’s why it’s a lot better to give them a better impression of me.         

Yukari sent me to their gates and I waited until she returned inside before walking away.     

On my way out of their street, I pulled out my phone to check my messages. But my fingers stopped tapping halfway. I heard rushing footsteps behind me.     

There was no one in front of me. Which meant it was either someone running out of the street or someone chasing after me.     

Given that I just watched Yukari enter their house and we made sure that I didn’t forget anything before leaving, it’s definitely not her.     

Is it that guy? Possible.     

I acted like I failed to notice it and continued on my steps, albeit slowed down a bit.     

Five steps later, sensing that whoever was running was about to crash onto me, I quickly dodged to the side.     

It’s fine if I was wrong since it would just be an embarrassing situation if the one running just passed by my side.     

Unfortunately, I was correct.     

I watched the idiot lunge in my previous position and fall face flat on the ground with a loud thud. He was running at his top speed and he failed to put on the brakes.     

I stopped in my steps and listened to how the idiot groaned in pain while trying to get up. He’s lucky if his nose was fine with it. Worse, he might even lose some of his teeth.     

In any case, I didn’t wait for him to stand up. I acted like I saw nothing and continued on my steps.     

Surely, he’s not hoping for me to help him get up. That would not only be shameful for him but also a hit on his pride.     

Not that I care about it. I just wanted to go home soon.     

But as always, guys like him had no idea when to give up.     

“Y-you! Wait!”     

I ignored him again the first time.     

But he repeated it in increasing volume, enough for the people inside their houses to come out and check.     

To not make this a big deal, I stopped and turned around to face him.     

He was already standing but his knees were shaking.     

One of his hands was on his face, covering his nose and mouth.     

Because it was dark, I had no idea if he was bleeding or not. Besides, the streetlight was behind him which even made it harder to see his face. Not that I wanted to. He’s your typical normie with a swept-up hairdo. He has fair looks but that’s just about it. He probably won’t even get to Sakuma’s level.     

In our classroom, not including myself, if they said Ogawa’s the most handsome, the runner-ups would be Tadano, Sakuma, and Fukuda. As for the others, they’re at best average. It would be up to how they groom themselves if they wanted improvement.     

Anyway, enough about that.     

“What is it? Are you going to brag about the fish you caught on the ground?” Without changing my usual tone, I questioned him sarcastically.         

However, the idiot failed to understand it.     

“The hell are you talking about?!”     

“You tell me. Is it fun to dive on solid concrete?” I smirked and pointed at the ground in front of him. Right where he face-planted.     

“F*ck you!” The idiot cursed and looked like he was about to charge again. But with his knees still shaking, he must be in a lot of pain.     

Well, let’s add on to that. And make his blood boil in the process.     

“No. Spare me with that. I’m not into men. If you have a sister then you can introduce me to her.”     

“That’s a curse, you f*cker! And leave my sister out of this!”     

Oh. So, he really does have a sister. This guy is making me laugh.     

“Ah. Is that so? And here I was, remembering something that just happened recently. Inside Yukari’s room. Say, do you want to hear it?”     

As if I would tell him about it. And even if I did, nothing really happened except for us cuddling in her bed while I told her my embarrassing stories.     

Ugh. Yeah. I better not tell him even if it’s a joke.     

Anyway, as expected, without any context, there’s only one conclusion he would arrive at.     

The guy closed our distance in three steps, stomping on his way. He looked more comical than terrifying.     

“What the f*ck?! Fight me! Don’t you sully Yukari like that!”     

When he reached within my arm’s reach, I dodged the spit coming out from his mouth, or maybe that’s his blood. I then pushed him, preventing him from advancing further.     

As he staggered back down on the ground, I looked down at him, my eyes narrowing to a slit. While glaring at him, I slapped him with his own deeds. “Sully her? Some words you got there. How is it? Forcing your childhood friend to date you? Do you think I’m not aware of your story?”     

“I never forced her! I asked her and she said yes! You’re the one who tricked her!”     

“Am I now? Oh yeah, maybe I did the same thing as you… However, here’s the difference. I made her fall in love with me. You? Did you already forget what she said? I can remind you if you want.”     

The guy once again tried to stand up but this time, I lifted my foot and dropped it on one of his knees. He tried pulling it out or sweeping my leg away but his attempts failed as I put on some weight on it. Now, along with his bleeding nose or mouth, the guy started suffering from another pain.     

Without waiting for him to curse or shout at me again since all of those would be futile, I squatted down and put on a sinister expression. Lowering my voice to its chilling point, I stared straight into his eyes and said, “Yukari spared your dignity. She’s still kind enough to do that. But I’m not her, am I? Let me stomp on it…”     

As I trailed my voice here, my next words were aimed to fully destroy his confidence or whatever notion he was building up in his head. He stopped struggling right there and only hung his head low in despair.     

Once that was done, I stood up and left the street while leaving a reminder to him, “Mikami, right? Remember not to bother Yukari again. Otherwise… you might see your sister at my side next time.”     

–     

–     

Upon settling my butt on the train, I informed Yukari that I met and talked to Mikami on my way out of their street. Naturally, the girl instantly worried that I would get into a fight with him.         

That’s why to not ruin this day for her, I told her that we had a rather civilized talk. Yeah, if I discounted the fact that I stomped on his knee and watched him twist in agony from pain before pushing him into despair at what I told him, it’s pretty civilized. Right?     

I could’ve chosen not to tell the girl. But it’s better this way. Guys like Mikami would definitely still try to approach the girl even with my warning and cook up a twisted story at his convenience.     

Although Yukari wouldn’t believe him, it was to prevent her from being caught unguarded.
