Kazuya was in hell.
Not the actual fire-and-brimstone kind. No, this was far worse.
He was trapped in a battle of pure, unfiltered, ungodly levels of rizz.
Renjiro Darkflame Bloodmoon Nightshade—the Forbidden Husbando, the Walking Thirst Trap, the Man Who Could Make Bishounen Cry—stood before him, ready to unleash the ultimate husbando energy.
Kazuya's hands were sweaty. His soul was trying to leave his body.
Sylvara's panicked voice crackled in his earpiece.
"KAZUYA! STAY STRONG! HIS AURA IS POWERFUL, BUT YOU CAN RESIST IT—"
Renjiro smirked.
"Can he, though?"
The sheer depth of that smirk sent shockwaves through the stadium.
The air itself became more moisturized.
The crowd screamed.
Kazuya's knees buckled.
"STOP. SMIRKING."
Bradimus Maximus—a literal Giga Chad of battle-hardened waifu warriors—was curled in a fetal position, sobbing.
"HE'S TOO BEAUTIFUL…"
Renjiro took a step forward.
A random gust of wind blew his unbuttoned white shirt open just a little more.
"NOOO!" Kazuya clapped his hands over his eyes.
The female audience members were being carried away on stretchers. Some males too.
Sylvara's voice was frantic. "Kazuya, listen! He's about to use his deadliest technique!"
Kazuya dared to peek between his fingers.
Renjiro extended his hand.
A rose materialized.
He twirled it between his fingers with impossible smoothness.
Kazuya's brain crashed.
Sylvara screamed. "IT'S HIS FINAL MOVE—THE DEATHLY FLIRTATION COMBO!"
Renjiro flicked the rose toward Kazuya.
The rose spun in slow motion.
Kazuya saw his life flash before his eyes.
Renjiro whispered:
"This… is for you, Kazuya."
Kazuya let out a bloodcurdling scream.
A Giga Explosion of romance sparkles detonated around them.
The sky turned pink.
A soft piano OST started playing from nowhere.
Entire countries declared war out of sheer jealousy.
Kazuya desperately looked for an escape. But there was no way out.
He could only do one thing.
The one thing no one expected.
Kazuya took a deep breath…
And then—
He pulled out his phone.
Renjiro raised a perfect eyebrow. "Oh? Are you taking my picture?"
Kazuya smirked.
"Nope. I'm opening Twitter."
Renjiro blinked. "What?"
Kazuya typed furiously.
📢 'BREAKING: Renjiro Darkflame Bloodmoon Nightshade has been exposed for not separating his dark laundry from his whites. Not a real husbando, ladies. #FakeRizz #LaundryFraud' 📢
Renjiro staggered.
His eyes widened. "W-Wait. What is—"
Kazuya hit POST.
The tweet went viral in 0.3 seconds.
The worldwide simping for Renjiro collapsed instantly.
The coliseum gasped.
A random NPC whispered, "He… he doesn't separate his laundry?"
A fangirl shrieked, "I CAN'T STAN HIM ANYMORE!"
Renjiro fell to his knees, gripping his perfect hair in agony.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The sky returned to normal.
The romance sparkles vanished.
The battle was over.
Kazuya stood victorious.
He had defeated the Forbidden Husbando…
…with the power of CANCEL CULTURE.
