CH 2.1

Shiki and the delinquent

Shiki escapes from Karin and quickly makes his way up the stairs to his second-year class on the third floor.

This is not only Shiki’s class but also the hell where a group of delinquents was waiting to bully him.

When he arrives at the classroom, he goes to the three delinquents who are hanging out in the backside seats next to the window and reluctantly puts the canned drinks he has bought on the desk.

Kawato, a dirty blonde delinquent who was sitting on a chair and watching the situation, turned his glaring eyes on him and said in a blunt and sullen tone

“I didn’t expect to wait more than twice as long as the time limit. Orifushi, You’re just trying to disrespect me, aren’t you?”

“S-sorry… “

Said Shiki, apologizing.

“Oh, no, you’ve offended Kawato, Orifushi~kun.”

“Belly punch? Are we going to see a belly punch? “

Two of his followers interrupted his apologize with a deliberate, mischievous tone.

“Oh? You’re late, and you didn’t even apologized? “

Kawato stood up with a clattering sound, and Shiki shivered.

The difference in height between the two of them is almost 10 centimeters, and the way he was staring at Shiki, was simply terrifying.

“I mean… I apologized…but their voices…”

“Hey-hey, is it our fault? “

“You’re blaming us? How terrible, Orifushi-kun…”

“I’m not…”

“That’s enough.”

Kawato’s words silenced Shiki and his two cronies.

“You’re late and you can’t even offer an apology. So, the penalty this time is two hits, okay? “

“No way――Ughhh. “

Shiki’s words of protest turn into a painful groan as a body blow is delivered to his gut.

“Come on, one more! “

The second body blow, delivered as declared, again pierces Shiki’s belly.

Naturally, since this is a delinquent school and his classmates are all delinquents, there is no one to stop these guys for this kind of thing.

Few non-delinquent students did not even look at Shiki who was being bullied, because they were afraid that they themselves might become the target if they got involved in this situation.

He wanted to crouch down on his stomach right here and now, but Kawato would judge him as overreacting.

He had to hold himself together somehow, because if he did that, he would be penalized even more.

“Oh~woww~, you’re tough, Orifushi~kun!”

“No, he’s not. Kawato’s holding back his strength. Right? “

Asked by his cronies to agree, Kawato nodded his head with a smug look.

“That’s what it is. If I hurt him too much and the Empress notices us, we’ll be in trouble.”

’That’s right~’, ――The three of them chuckle.

Shiki, whose abdomen was aching from the blow, couldn’t understand what was so funny.

Kawato opens the lid of the can of oolong tea, slurps down a sip, and asks a question.

So, why are you late? “

“That… I almost collided with the ‘Empress’ that Kawato-kun just mentioned…”

Upon hearing this, his two followers all scream in surprise.

“Wait a minute… you didn’t tell the Empress that we’re picking on you or something, did you? “

“Hey-hey! This is bad! “

“Calm down, guys.”

Kawato’s words make both of his followers shut their mouths.

“Think about it. Do you think a fool like Orifushi could talk to the Empress properly? Besides, we’re letting him do nothing more than to run errands for us. That’s nothing unusual in this school.”

“T-that’s true…”

“K-kawato’s right. It’s not something to be scared of.”

Kawato’s words brought relief to both of his followers.

It is a well-known fact that Kohinata Karin, as known as the [Empress], is a so-called person with a heroic-like temperament by helping the weak and crushing the strong, and Kawato and his two cronies who bullied Shiki are definitely categorized as [Those she doesn’t like].

The two cronies sigh in relief due to their awareness of this fact.

At the same time, the chime rings to announce the end of recess, and Kawato clicks his tongue before ordering Shiki to [Get the hell out of here.] with a hand as if he were chasing away a dog.

The fact that he is still attending the class even though he is a delinquent is also because of the influence of the Empress.

Shiki returns to his seat, relieved to be released from hell.
