Ch 138 – 10 June, Weekend with Eriri and Chika 04

Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796

Even though Kouta is a boxing expert, he still lacked experience in fighting, especially against multiple opponents at once. That's why he didn’t take the hard road and just thought about taking out opponents as quickly as possible.

When Kouta laughed at them, and the punks were not happy, one of them swung his hand at Kouta and grabbed his collar. One of the punks had already touched him. Kouta immediately took action. Those people may underestimate Kouta since he was just below an average Japanese male in height, and his appearance was rather cute. Therefore, the thuggish grip did not feel strong, and it was easy for Kouta to break free.

Not only that, Kouta took advantage of the negligence by demonstrating the self-defense techniques he had seen. With his ability to mimic the things he sees, he gets better every time he practices. It was as if his brain was recording it, and when his body practiced, it would be easier for him to act out the things he registered in his mind.

Without them realizing it, Kouta had paralyzed one of them. So they were a little surprised and lost momentum, which Kouta used to beat up the one person who was blocking Eriri and Chika. The two of them were able to move away from the fighting area.

As Kouta practiced boxing, he was quite confident in his ability to hit someone. His body, brain, and also his experience training with Ayaka made the punches he threw very dangerous. The punks who had received the full force of a punch to the face had their heads turned in a very odd direction. It seemed that they were frozen like that, which made it easy for Kouta to continue beating them up.

Not only that, as a person who has practiced boxing, Kouta is quite skilled in moving his legs. That makes his defense strong enough that he can easily dodge their attacks. That's enough to frustrate any enemy.

Then, because Kouta did not hold back so much, the scene before him after he beat up the punks was quite violent. He could see two to three of them grimacing in pain, with their faces full of wounds and bloody noses. Kouta was new to this kind of power. He was still unable to restrain himself. Even the blood from his punches splashed on his clothes and hands. Kouta hoped he wouldn't make the girls afraid of him if he went overboard.

“I think it will be much better if we leave as soon as possible before more people come here and the police are called. Ah, you guys can go first. There's one thing I have to do." Kouta spoke while giving hand gestures to Eriri and Chika to go first. Both of them nodded in agreement, following Kouta's instructions.

After Kouta saw Chika and Eriri leave. He immediately headed to one of the small passages between buildings where Kouta had seen his classmates hiding. He thought about what his friend would do if his plan succeeded. It seemed that he would be the one to help Eriri and get credit for it. That’s not a bad plan…

Upon arriving in the hallway, the classmate had a pale face. From the expression on his face Kouta could tell that he had lost the will to fight Kouta. He even repeatedly said that he was sorry and apologized really hard to him. He would not repeat his actions. Honestly, everything that happened was part of Kouta’s plan. Even so, he just planted it. In the end, this riajuu still pulled the trigger.

Hence, Kouta would eventually punish this former riajuu to the point that he dared not look at him. For now, he didn't know if his plan would actually work. At least he hoped that his favorability points would increase because one of the clichéd plots in the world of manga and anime to bring the main character closer to the protagonist is to save the character from the punks. Although slightly different, Kouta felt that it was very similar to that cliché.

Eriri perspective

“That was something…” Chika murmured as she walked away from the place where they met the punks.

“Ah, yes,” Eriri replied in a small voice. She knew that Kouta had a plan, but she never imagined it would be this wild. She knew that Kouta often exercised and studied martial arts, but she did not know that he was this skilled.

Eriri often saw Kouta's cute, sometimes handsome face and also his cold demeanor. However, this was the first time she saw Kouta's wild nature. Although he seemed to be a calculating person, Eriri could see that Kouta enjoyed himself when fighting and being wild. That should have been a bad sign, but when she saw Kouta, who was different like that, she couldn’t help but feel strong emotions about it. It felt like Kouta became outstanding in her eyes.

"Is he going to be okay?" Chika looks a little worried at Kouta, showing the progress of their short relationship.

“He will be fine. I know he takes boxing classes."

“Is that so? No wonder he’s strong… that’s quite unexpected.”

Eriri could see her friend blushing a bit for a moment. Seeing that blush, even for a bit, made Eriri happy.

“Yeah, he’s amazing. You know… I mean, even he looks like that. He’s actually strong, big, and can last for quite a long time~~~” Eriri responded and whispered in Chika's ear at the end in a suggestive tone.

“Yes, I’m surprised too…” Chika replied with a blushing face as she remembered something else before she realized what Eriri tried to imply. Her face became reddened like a tomato.

“What!? what!? I don’t know anything about that stuff!”

“Really~~~ Hm, I wonder what type of man Chika likes? Please, tell me about it~”

“Eh, hm…” Chika was entirely surprised by Eriri's sudden question. Because of the suddenness of the question, the answer Chika found was something close to her heart.

“Well, sometimes cold, arrogant, and very confident about his intelligence and incredible skill. But deep down, he is a very nice and cute person.”

“Hm, that’s quite a deep answer. But doesn't Kouta check many of your types? He had a cute and handsome appearance, his intelligence to make games went viral, and incredible skill too. You know it, right?”

“That’s… uuu… He may be that good, but men are not all about appearance. What about his heart!?”

“Hm… what’s wrong with him? Isn’t he quite a nice boy? He even fought those thugs for us.”

“Ah, that’s true…” Chika responded and was silent for seconds as if she remembered something else before she continued, “Even so, he’s still a bad guy. He slept with a girl without taking responsibility and the worst part is that she is my friend and junior.” She said with a cute, angry expression.

“Eh? Even though I like it and enjoyed it. It’s a consenting relationship, a win-win one. Which means I’m also a bad girl.” In contrast with Chika, Eriri spoke in more of a teasing tone of voice.

“Uuu…”

“Hahaha, you’re such a cute girl, Chika. I was just joking around a bit. I hope you had enough fun despite the trouble at the end like this."

“Well, I had fun today.”

“It’s good then… Ah, if that's the case, how about you date Kouta by yourself?”

“Ha? Why do I need to do that?”

“As a thank you, maybe since he helped us from those thugs. He will be happy to spend time with you again.”

“Ugh, it’s quite unfair when you say that,” Chika said, her face blushing for a moment. As she said earlier, Chika was having fun today, and when she heard that Kouta was happy to spend time with her, she was happy, too.

"Wait, what about you?" Chika found out about it and asked Eriri, who smiled at her and whispered to her.

“Huhu, of course. I will reward him tonight~”

“What!!? Don’t tell me you will do it!?”

“Um. Wanna join us?”

“What! Of course not! You're filthy!”

“That’s awful to say. Ah, do you want to see another video!?”

“You don’t have to! I don’t need it!”

Chika shouted like that before the two of them arrived at the ramen place, and it didn't take long for Kouta to come after them. Then, their time together ended, at least for Chika, since Eriri and Kouta had a long night between them.
