Stealing Spree

Because those two were the ones who cared a lot about the state of their circle, I don’t want them to think that they’re inadequate in their attempt to stop the silent guy from obsessing over Saki.

Nonetheless, even though informing them that I would be personally taking action was for their ease of mind, nothing could change my mind anymore.

Enough is enough. I’ll just talk to them later to deal with the aftermath.

“I will.” Saki nodded, agreeing to my words. She grabbed her bag and brought out her phone.

While she was doing that, I stood up and left the stall.

Even without peeking through the small gap at the bottom, I could still sense someone’s presence inside that furthest stall from the entrance.

Most likely, he’s thinking that it’s better to wait until we leave rather than leave before us. Did he jerk off on what little he could hear? Possibly. But I couldn’t care less about that.

Regardless of what he did inside that stall, there’s nothing that could save him anymore.

Like Saki said, I’m angry. I could feel rage circulating inside my body. I probably wouldn’t be satisfied with just physically hurting him. I’m already leaning toward destroying him completely to the point that if he saw me, he’d tremble in fear.

True. I’ve been too lenient on them. To him, Ogawa and the other cucks like them. He must’ve thought that I would never lift my fist against them, not knowing that I was just holding myself back because my girls intended to resolve the problem by themselves without troubling me.

I did give them the chance but without any result on this guy, it’s now a lot better to take this matter into my hands.

They might feel conflicted about this but it’s fine… I’m ready for whatever consequence this will bring to me.

As long as I could eliminate the threat around them, that’s more than enough consolation for me.

“Mhm. There’s no need to reconsider.” I muttered to myself, reaffirming my thoughts.

After taking a few large steps, I quickly arrived in front of the door of the last stall.

Surely, the guy inside it heard my loud footsteps. He started moving, after all.

Wiping my previous expression, I narrowed my eyes and exhaled, containing the rage that was running rampant inside me. In these kinds of moments, being calm and collected was a lot better than letting the rage take over.

Because that way, you wouldn’t be blinded by it and deliver what it was you truly intended to do.

Anyway, I didn’t knock on the door. There’s no need for that. Instead, I took a step back to gather momentum before kicking it open.

Lock be damned. I’ll just fix it later.

Almost immediately, the loud banging sound enveloped the whole restroom along with a pained grunt from the guy who was hit by the door.

Shocked by that, Saki hurriedly peeked out from where I left her. I glanced at her without saying anything else.

Thankfully, she didn’t say or do anything. She remained standing there, watching what I was about to do next. She appeared concerned though. Not for the guy but for me. Perhaps, if I really lost myself to my rage, she’d try bringing me back to my senses.

But as of this moment, I still have everything in my control. I’m just starting, after all.

Turning my focus back in front, given that it hit the guy’s legs, the door failed to fully open.

As I pushed it open, I saw him slouched while holding onto his left knee. That’s the part that took the brunt of that force.

Sensing that I was staring down at him, the guy looked up, his face frowning in pain and his eyes shaking in disbelief.

As I expected, the guy was not expecting me to come and confront him like this. Not to mention, he probably believed that even if we did confront him, I would just stand at the side again and let the girl deal with me.

Too bad. That’s not going to happen.

With my eyes narrowing to a slit, I took a step forward, letting my leg prevent the door from closing again. Following that, I coldly glared at him while showing him my fist.

“Hey. Which do you think is harder? Your jaw or my knuckle?” 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢

I had no idea what kind of tone I used to deliver that but the guy visibly shook as his normally expressionless face started showing signs of fear.

“Gonna stay silent again? Alright. Come here.”

Even when he raised her arm to block I easily grabbed him by his collar. By exerting a bit of my strength, I lifted him from the seat and held him up.

Our height wasn’t that much different from each other but at the moment, his feet weren't touching the ground.

He started flailing but that only made my hold on him tighten. And with his weight all held up by my arm, my knuckle pressed against his neck and it slowly began choking him.

Nonetheless, even if he was already struggling, my right fist ejected and landed squarely on his face.

Hesitation? I’ve thrown that out already.

Feeling his jaw shaking from the impact, I threw another amidst his grunting. And this time, on his cheek. I don’t know if that will unroot one or more of his teeth but that’s irrelevant now.

If Ichihara Jun only got my fist on his stomach, this guy would receive everything on his face, enough that he won’t be able to come to school today.

His struggle gradually died down as his snot and tears started flowing down. There’s no blood yet but it’s probably about to show up soon.

“Are you crying? Yet you’re still not talking. Should I deform your face more before you utter a word? On another thought, don’t talk at all. That’s better for me. I can pummel you more this way.”

Upon dropping that, I threw more punches to his face. It didn’t take long for his left cheek to swell. And obviously, his blood had long been spilled.

“Ruki…” Saki arrived at my side. Her voice faltered and the concern in it was still apparent. Glancing at her, she couldn’t look straight at Taku’s state but she was forcing herself anyway.

Her conviction to see through this was still there but obviously, she’s not as cold-hearted as me. And this was probably the first time she saw this much violence. Not to mention, it was delivered by the guy she loves.

“I’m sorry you have to see this.”

“D-don’t be… You’re only doing what you have to do. But Ruki, I said we’re in this together. If he’s not going to talk to you. Let me talk to him.”

“No. That’s exactly what he wanted. And I won’t give him that. Either he talks to me to end this or he can remain silent and get beaten up by me until he loses consciousness.”

Yeah. Taking everything into consideration, there’s only one reason why he’s still keeping his mouth shut. Because he wanted Saki to come to his rescue. If his mind was really that twisted then he’s probably going to take that as a win.

What a sick bastard.

In fact, by letting him hear our conversation, the guy already exhibited some kind of reaction. He’s expecting me to give way to Saki.

And now that I refused, he started struggling again.

Saki’s reply was a simple nod along with reaching to my side, conveying her concern towards me.

After that, she walked away, returning to the stall we used.

When Taku understood that Saki wouldn’t try to interfere anymore, his listless eyes focused on me and the fear that was accumulating in it broke out.

Judging from that, he was finally ready to talk.

Or that’s how it’s supposed to happen.

But even before his mouth could open, my fist landed on his face once more before throwing him back to where he was sitting earlier.

What talk? We can do that after he wakes up later. For now, I’ll properly show him why he should completely fear me and snuff out the thought of following Saki again.
