You are messing with the wrong person.
Erii has been feeling down lately, and Ryo also noticed that. We approached her and I ask,
"What's wrong, Erii? Is something bothering you?"
Erii shakes her head and replies,
"It's nothing. Oh, let's eat at the cafeteria on lunch break."
We ate our lunch, but Erii barely touched her lunch. Erii kept checking on her phone. Ryo asks,
"Erii-chan, can you tell us what happened?"
Erii took a deep breath and replies,
"For the past few days, Miko-chan from first-year never came to the gym. The teacher is also worried about her and something feels off about it. Whenever I asked her why she dodged my questions. I'm planning to ask her again today, but she didn't go to school."
Ryo says,
"Are you going to pay a visit to her house, Erii-chan?"
Erii nod. I say,
"Well, how about the three of us go there and we will wait outside while you go inside and check on her? That kind of behavior is either because of family's problems or someone is bothering her."
Ryo nods with an agreement. Erii asks,
"Do you think we should? If it's a family issue, I don't think we should interfere unless she's harassed physically."
We nod with an agreement.
The last class ended. The three of us left the school and went to Miko's house. When we arrived, Ryo and I stayed outside while Erii entered her house. When Miko's mother opened the door, she looked worried and as soon as Erii explained everything to Miko's mother, she allowed her to enter the house.
Erii came back and she's furious. She didn't say anything and we followed her not knowing where we're going. Until Erii stopped in front of a high school. It's Shiroisora All-Male High School.
Ryo and I are looking at each other. Erii says,
"Miko-chan got sexually harassed by one of the students from here. At first, she noticed that someone was groping her on the train every day after she's done with Judo's class, then she stopped attending the class, but a few days later she met the same guy again. He was waiting for her every day after school."
I say,
"That's disgusting..."
Ryo says,
"Erii-chan... Aze and I will handle the others if he has friends, so you can focus on that guy."
Erii nod.
We entered the Shiroisora High School. All the students stared at us with confusion. We asked every student we saw about the guy we are looking for. A black-haired guy with three piercings on both ears. We found out his name and his information, Sasaki from the first-year student. We went to the place he always spends his time after school.
"Aniki, there are three students from Akusen High School who entered our school."
A slender white skin blond-haired guy with a silver cross piercing on his left ear is sitting near the window from the third floor. A guy who's reading a book on his desk with the same appearance except his hair is brown and without a piercing. He's glaring outside the window. He replies,
"Hmm... tell me when you find out why they are here."
The guy with a silver cross piercing nod.
Erii approached Sasaki and immediately grabbed his collar and slammed him to the ground. His friends are startled and when they're about to grab Erii, Ryo and I pulled them away from her. I held two guys on their necks, while Ryo choke one of them and grappled him down. Erii kept slamming Sasaki to the ground and walls until his nose and head bleed. Erii sat on Sasaki's chest that's barely conscious, she says,
"Do you know this girl?"
Erii showed a photo of Mika on her phone. Sasaki can barely open his eyes. Erii punched Sasaki's face to make him focus on her phone. Sasaki replies,
"Yeah... I know that... girl..."
Erii asks,
"So you know why I'm here then."
Sasaki nods weakly. Erii says,
"If you dare to touch any girl again, I know where you are..."
Sasaki nods weakly while whining in pain. Erii slammed his head and Sasaki fell unconscious. Erii looked at Sasaki's friends and says
"I'll remember your faces..."
They all nod in fear. Ryo and I are looking at Erii. She nods and then we both released them and left Shiroisora School. The two mysterious guys been watching Azera, Erii, and Ryo from the third floor the whole time. The brown-haired guy says,
"We should pay them a visit tomorrow."
The white-haired guy with piercing nods and replies,
"Okay, Aniki..."
We are at the convenience store lazing around. Erii is busy with her phone while Ryo is mumbling the BGM of the RPG game we installed a few days ago. I'm reading a web novel on my phone. Ryo then says,
"Hey, wanna go to the arcade? I'm bored..."
Erii replies,
"Yeah, let's go."
Ryo and I are looking at Erii with disbelieve. Erii is never interested in games no matter on what platforms. Ryo asks scaredly,
"Erii-chan... have you cleaned your ears recently?"
Erii took the portable hair clipper from her bag and turned it on. Ryo immediately jumped far away from her. Erii sighed and put the hair clipper down and then she stood up. She says,
"Are we going or not?"
Ryo and I nodded.
We went to the arcade and spent the rest of the evening there. Then Ryo and Erii came to my restaurant to help me. We went home after midnight and Ryo slept in my house again.
The next day, we all went to school together and nothing interesting happened. A normal day for a student. Until the bell rung...
On our way out from class, so many students are looking through the windows to our school's gate. We also check what they're looking at. There are two students from Shiroisora High School. They're just standing there and looks like they're waiting for someone. The three of us know the reason what they're here for. Erii and Ryo are looking at me then they nod.
We went to the school entrance and approached them. The slender white-haired guy noticed and stood there with his hands in his pockets. The white-haired guy asks,
"You're the one who came to our school yesterday."
Ryo smirk and reply,
"Yeah, why?"
The brown-haired guy glared at him. I didn't like the way he looked at Ryo. I should've to stop Ryo. When I'm about to approach him, he threw a punch at the white-haired guy. He dodged it and kicked him on Ryo's ribs and switched his foot and kneed Ryo's jaw in just a second. Ryo fell on his knee with blood came from his gum. I clenched my fist and punched him. The white-haired guy dodged it, his foot is fast but I managed to block his kick with my arms. It hurts, his foot strength is no joke. The white-haired guy says,
"You are messing with the wrong person..."
The brown-haired guy tapped on the white-hired guy and says,
"Stop it, we came here not to fight."
The white-haired guy backed off and brushed his trouser. The brown-haired guy says,
"We apologize for disturbing your afternoon. We came here to invite you to our class tomorrow. Come to Shiroisora School after school and go to the 2-1 class. We want to have a talk with the three of you. I promise you that we don't have any ill intentions towards you. I'll appreciate it if you guys came."
Ryo is wiping the blood in his mouth and says,
"There's no way we would believe you. Don't listen to him, Aze, Erii. I don't like him. They must be planning something to avenge his kouhai..."
The brown-haired guy smirk while shaking his head. I reply,
"No, we will come."
Ryo surprised and says,
"What?! Are you crazy?"
I shake my head and reply,
"He can beat the three of us here on his own. There's no way he would do something cowardly like that. Trust me on this one."
Ryo clicked his tongue and Erii is worried about it and looked at me with concern. The brown-haired guy smiled and he says,
"Then we will be waiting. I'll prepare some snacks for you."
The two of them left while waved at us.
Erii asks,
"Did you really think he alone can win against the three of us?"
I shake my head and reply,
"I don't know for sure, but the way he looked at us is like nobody else did for me... I have never seen someone so dangerous before, the way he looked at us is."
Ryo says,
"Well, if you say so then we can't just go there unprepared."
Erii and I nod with agreement.
I really have no idea why they came here and what for. If they came to avenge his kouhai, he should've settled it right here. I really don't want to think about it because it makes me feel uneasy.
