"Wh-who are you!?"

The two pigs turned their head and looked at the person who has just spoken. I can't see him because Yūji pig's crotch obstructs my vision.

"Me? I'm just a passerby."

"You. You better go and pretend that you don't see anything!"

"Hoh? What if I don't?"

"This fu*ker!!"

Yūji pig stands up after he put his thing back inside his pants. He must be pissed hearing the man's nonchalant answer. When my vision is cleared of any obstructions, I can finally see the man who interrupts these two pigs atrocious act.

Man in Black.

I can't think of another word to describe his appearance. He wears black jacket with black shirt underneath, and black tight jeans. He has long legs and I believe he must be taller than 180 cm.

I can't see his face clearly due to his plastic umbrella which is slightly tilted downward to cover half of his face. But I believe he isn't ugly.

"Yūji-kun! Calm down! You'll make the matter worse if you handle it that way."

"Tssskk... So what? Do you have a better way to solve it?"

"Of course I do."

Yasaka pig retracts his thing and put his thing back inside his pants. He stands up and looks at the man in black.

"Hey, Onī-san[1]! I know that it's not proper to say it, but how if we make a deal?"

"Deal?"

"Yes, a deal."

"Oii, Ossan! What are you trying to do?"

"Shut up, Yūji-kun!"

Yasaka pig turned his head and glared at Yūji pig. The latter surprisingly acts obediently. Hah... I think pig also have hierarchy in their life.

"Tsskk... Just do what you like!"

Yūji pig threw his glance over me and clicked his tongue. Yasaka pig nods in approval and looks at the man in black once again.

"So... About the deal. This woman here is ours. We've paid her before but she tried to run away. We chased her up to here but she didn't want to do her job. So, we were forced to do it here. That's what actually happened."

".... Hoh? Even if so, you don't have the right to force her."

"I know, but if you're going to report us, things will get worse. I have family at home and I can't afford to let them know about it. This woman too, she has a boyfriend already, but due to circumstances she has to become a hooker. This is her first time, dealing with police in her first day, will be bad for her, right?"

"So..."

"Please let this matter off and I'll give you something in return."

Perfect.

His lies and speaking manner is perfect. As expected from a salesman, I guess? He didn't even slip his tongue in the process.

Haha... Look at me! I should be the best saleswoman of the year, but here I am, unable to say anything. Maybe, this is what you called fate?

Even if Kandata[2] had done one good thing in his life, he was still a criminal after all. The same thing goes for me, there was always a chance for me being saved from this predicament. But in the end, I'm bound to be these pigs toys.

"Interesting. May I know what do I get in return?"

"You may also have a go! You can do it first, and we'll do a foursome after. How about this?"

"Hey! Ossan! Why'd you let him go first? Didn't you say that she's ours?"

"Then, do you prefer dealing with the police?"

"...No."

Yūji pig shuts his mouth tightly under Yasaka pig's rebuttal. Yasaka pig extended his hand and waits for the man in black's response. Not long after, the man in black reaches his hand and shakes it."

"I'll agree with the deal. But just in case, I don't have to pay after this, do I?"

"Of course, no. What kind of person will I be if I let you pay."

"Hm. I like your attitude."

"You flattered me."

What is this talk? What kind of talk is this? They treat me as if they're treating goods. Haha... So they've never considered me a human before.

The man in black makes his way toward me with his umbrella still covering half of his face. Well, at least I'll get ra*ed by this well mannered man. He arrived in front of me and crouched.

"Your tits are exposed."

"..."

"Your pus*y is also exposed. Half of it, I mean."

"..."

"Have you lost your mind? Are you probably deaf?"

I ignore his every words. I don't even bother to turn my head toward him. Contrary to my expectation, he doesn't get mad. I got curious, so I turn my head towards him. Right when I turn my head, I finally able to see his face clearly.

"Say, do you want to get out of this predicament?"

[Whoosh]

A kick flying at his head. Yūji pig is the owner of the kick. The man in black doesn't budge. He only tilts his head to the right and successfully avoids the kick.

"Tsskk..."

Yūji pig clicked his tongue in annoyance. The man in black keeps his crouching position in front of me and looks right in my eyes. Eh? What is this situation? I can't understand him at all. Furthermore, what is with this internal discord?

"What do you say?"

Is it the right time to say that thing? Don't you have to concern about the two pigs that is trying to assault you?

"Die!"

Yasaka pig also joins in with a swing of his punch towards the man in black. Unlucky for him, the man in black tilts his head just like the last time, successfully avoids it.

His hand passes beside the man in black's face, resulting him in losing his balance. The man in black quickly takes this opportunity as he bends his left hand and elbowed Yasaka pig's stomach.

"Guhhaa!"

"Ossan!! You fu*ker!"

Yūji quickly turns his body towards us right after Yasaka pig falls to the ground, unconscious. I don't know that knocking someone unconscious is so easy.

"Eat this!!"

Yūji pig swings his foot towards the man in black's head just like the last time. But this time, the man in black doesn't tilt his head. He merely lifts half of his left hand and catches Yūji pig's kick.

"Huh?"

Stunned, Yūji pig tries to let go of his foot only to know that he can't. The man in black tightens his grip on the foot and in one swift move, he rotates his body 180°, let go of his umbrella and strikes the foot with the back of his right hand.

[Crack]

"Aaaahh!!!"

I can hear it, clearly. The man in black just broke Yūji pig's foot. The latter wails in pain on the ground while clutching his flailed foot. His cry is so loud as it reverberates through the whole area.

The man in black stands up and in one flawless swing of his foot, he knocks Yūji pig out of his consciousness. He slicks back his bangs and looks at me solemnly. He takes his dropped plastic umbrella and covers me with it.

"Get up! You'll catch a cold if you stay that way."

His voice is devoid of all emotion. If it was before, he sounded playfull with his nonchalant tone. But now, I can't fathom what kind of a person he is. Unconsciously, I turn my head to the side.

"So you're ignoring me."

I watch him from the corner of my eyes. Probably tired of my treatment. He backs away and moves his hand to his pants. I can't see what is he doing, but I can somehow guess what is he going to pull out.

So, this is life? Only know I know how cruel this world. What did I do wrong? Nothing. Who did I mistreated? Probably none. Why should I be treated this way? My body? Am I at the wrong here for having this body?

If so, I don't need this life anymore! I hate this fu*king irrational world!!

"Do it!"

"Hm? Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Just do it! Just do it, and kill me! It's a perfect chance for you. It's raining and no one would find the trace."

"Hoh? I'm surprised. Your instinct is quite good."

"Instinct? Huh! I don't need instinct to know what you're about to do. If you were in my shoes, you would also know it."

I turn my head and throw my gaze at him. Upon seeing his face, I tremble unconsciously. What is that expression? What is that gaze? It's an empty yet cold gaze at the same time. It feels like he's looking directly at my soul. But more than that, he has

[Click]

"I would never think that I would be killed, even if I were in your shoes."

—a gun in his hand. He points the gun at my head. The click sound I heard was probably the sound of the safety. He must have unlocked the safety. His finger is on the trigger, and upon knowing how close I am to death, my body trembles uncontrollably.

"This is the death that you wanted so much."

[Bang]

My body stops trembling in the instance I heard the sound. I'll die in the next second. How unfair this life! When I wished for salvation, on the contrary the situation got worse. But when I wished for death, it is easily granted

Well, I need to look at the bright side. Maybe, it's also a salvation in its on way.

[Hit]

"Kyaaa!"

I hold my stomach as I feel something hits against it. Not long after, the place that is hit feels like burning. It hurts, it feels like something pinching my stomach powerfully. Wait... Pinch? Burning sensation? Stomach?

I open my eyes and take a look at my stomach. There is a small circle red mark formed on it. What is it? I rub it and notice that it is not bleeding. I uncurled my body and take a good look at the man in black.

"So? How about feeling dead?"

With the same voice that's devoid of all emotion, he talked to me. The gun I saw before is still in his hand. I undoubtedly heard the sound of the gun being fired. But, what happened?

"H-how?"

"I used rubber bullet. And this is a cheap gun that fires rubber bullet."

"What?"

I look at him blankly and he returns the look with the same empty eyes.

"Why do you want to die?'

"..."

"I see. I'm sorry for asking you that question at the moment."

He keeps his gun back to his pants and comes closer. He crouched himself and pulls my body up. His palm is soft yet his grip is powerful, my body effortlessly lifted from the ground. I don't know what am I feeling right now.

Everything is too sudden for me. From being blackmailed and then almost got ra*ed. No, I'm indeed ra*ed but I managed to keep my virginity. And now, am I being saved? Is this the God's hand that I have been waiting for long?

No. It's not.

"Kya!!! Let me go you, pervert!"

He has dropped his umbrella, and now his hands are moving on my body. He unbuttoned every button on my clothes and effortlessly takes it off. Not stopping there, he starts to pull my bra that is not even protecting my breasts. Just like the last time, he successfully takes it off. He does the same thing to my skirt and underwear too, leaving me naked entirely.

"Hm? Strange? Why are you trembling? Didn't those two guys do worse thing than I did?"

"Y-you! Don't you have shame?! You just make a woman naked in a public place!"

"Oh? I am sorry about that. But to say that at this time..."

Ahh. He got the point. To say that at this time, isn't it too late? Why didn't I say it before? I quickly drop my head to avoid his eyes. But soon, I feel something warm enveloping my body. I raise my head and see that he is covering me with his jacket.

"It's cold when raining. With your drenched clothes you will catch a cold."

"Eh?"

"Don't worry, my jacket is hydrophobic. It won't get wet no matter how much water you pour on it."

That isn't the case! What happened to you? Aren't you supposed to ra*e me? I know that I'm not supposed to say it but, isn't this pattern wrong no matter how you look at it?

"Why?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"Why do you help me?"

"I'm just doing my job."

"Job?"

"Yeah. You don't have to think about it, you'll figure out soon."

He lifts me from the ground after packing my clothes and undergarments in a plastic. He princess carries me while holding the plastic bag and the umbrella in his hands.

"Grab my neck. We'll move somewhere so rain wouldn't reach us."

"...Un."

"About my question earlier, is it okay to ask it now?"

Now that you mention it, I indeed haven't answered it.

"Because... My body has been tainted. Any woman will also think the same thing if they were in my shoes."

"Is that so? I think you're different. If any woman were to be in your shoes, they must have lost their mind long ago. But you're different, aren't you? You didn't lose your mind, you managed to preserve."

"That... It has nothing to do with it. No matter what, even if I don't lose my mind, I have lost my worth as a woman. It'll be pointless to live at that point."

"You've lost your worth? Hahh... It's funny. Is it because your body has been tainted?"

"You can say it that way."

I don't know where the talk is going, but it's strangely comforting. I unconsciously tightened my grip on his neck. Only now that I know how strong his body is.

I can feel his wide and muscular chest. I can feel his slightly wet soft hair. I can feel his smell. This is, a good man's smell. I don't know why I say it. But I can tell that he is a good man.

"Hm? You believe yourself in someone too easily."

"Hihh..."

I flinch in response. Now that you mention it, I believe in someone too easily. Why do I never learn from my mistake. I should—

"It's okay. I can guarantee you that I won't do anything. I'm a lolicon after all."

—he pulled me back to his embrace. And strangely, I didn't resist. But...

"I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously."

Don't say a joke so seriously!

He acts like nothing happened and glance upward.

"You know, people from the old times believe that rain is a blessing from God. Therefore they do many rituals in order to call rain. Whenever the rain falls, they would be so ecstatic. But do you know that rain has another special place in their beliefs?"

"No.... I don't. What is it?"

"Rain comes from the God and everything comes from him is holy. So, rain is holy. It can purify you out of your sins. Therefore, many of them showered themselves in rain to clean themselves."

"Can't they also do it with normal water? It comes from rain after all."

"...if you put it that way, it seems logical. But, the holy power have gone by that time right? Their sins won't be cleared then. So, if you feel that your body is tainted. You can just bath yourself in the rain. It will purify you."

"That's what people from old times believe. The scientific explanation of the rain is already been known. It doesn't come from the God."

"But, we know that rainwater is pure right? Pure things will purify the other things. Isn't it the same as how the holy power works?"

"It isn't.. that simple, you know."

"Even a dirty plate would be cleaned by a swipe of sponge. The same thing goes for the other thing. Even though they got dirty, there's still a way to clean them again. And the same thing goes for everything in this world. Therefore, you don't have to be worried. There's no such thing as tainted body."

Before I know it, I already buried my face in his chest. My eyes are wet and my voice is muffled. He stays silent and wrapped my body with his warm hands. I am not crying because I am sad. I'm just crying because I want.

"...Un...."

Only a word managed to come out.
