Chapter 17 – 2.9 Nanami in Crisis
“Knives?”
A female student looking for Knives in the men’s locker room at the pool.
Her name is Nanami Shiina.
She was the woman Knives picked as Yuuki’s number one pure-love couple.
“Nives, are you there?”
“Ijime, I’ll help you finish it.
Come to the pool men’s locker room.
– Knives.”
Nanami Shiina, who was about to return to her house after school, found such a note in her shoebox.
The indifference of asking herself, a woman, to come to the men’s locker room.
If it was Knives, it was Knives.
On the other hand, I also came to accept that there would be no place as highly confidential as here at this time.
But why did I ask to see you in such a secret place?
Knives appreciated his offer to help, but Nanami thought he would kick her between the legs if she made strange demands like before in exchange for help.
“No one is here?”
It was quiet.
Isn’t that what you call and hide?
So, was the message a joke?
Still…… She was expecting a little bit.
A figure appeared in front of Nanami, who was about to turn around in disappointment.
“Braided! It’s here.”
“…… Akane.”
Akane Tsukimiya.
She was the person Nanami hated the most right now.
The relationship between Akane and Nanami is not short.
Due to the nature of Rune Academy, which automatically advances to elementary, middle, and high school, rune holders of the same age will inevitably run into each other even if they live normally.
Same goes for Akane and Nanami.
From the time cliques began to form among women, the two of them were acting as the captains of each faction.
The two people, who already have strong egos, were bound to collide naturally from a young age.
“Oh, I’m scared! Impressions of playing a little!”
Akane laughed mischievously, but Nanami was in no mood to laugh.
It was because Akane was the instigator who decided that she would be the next Ijime target.
“If you put on such a scary face, men would hate it too, right? Isn’t that right, Shuji?”
“Heh.”
At the entrance Akane entered, a man with long bangs entered her.
Shuji. His real name is different, but everyone calls him Shuji.
“…… Akane and Shuji. What do you mean?”
Nanami raised her alertness even more than when Akane was alone.
It was because Shuji was just as much of a problem child as Knives.
The source of the confrontation between Akane and Shiina was Yuuki’s existence.
Two girls with strong self-esteem fell in love with the same man.
Akane, who has already become close to Yuuki by using the merit of being a childhood friend, and Nanami, who hovers around her and seeks Yuuki.
The relationship between the two deteriorated rapidly.
“Well, Shuji said he wanted to talk to Nanami, so I just made room for him~. Do you talk to the rest of the young people? I might as well be swimming.”
Akane went out through the door opposite Shuji.
The remaining Nanami glered at Shuji.
The Nanami generation is the last generation in which men were drafted during the Great Disaster.
Many men have died. The male to female ratio in the school year is 2:8.
Even among the men who survived, there were many men who became strange due to the war trauma.
Or Knives.
Like Shuji in front of me.
“…… Shuji. I have nothing to say.”
“Heh. You don’t have a choice, Shiina.”
As a result, there was no choice but to limit the number of men that girls would naturally like.
It could be said that it was inevitable that the two beautiful girls fell in love with Yuuki.
Among her remaining classmates her, Yuuki was the least normal.
And this Shuji in front of him is the type of man Nanami hates the most.
Besides, he was a man obsessed with Nanami to the extent of being abnormal.
“Be my woman, Shiina. Then I’ll give you a place to stay in class.”
“Do not be ridiculous. I absolutely hate it.”
Shuji’s expression hardens at Nanami’s resolute refusal.
“Listen carefully. I don’t want to hurt your cute face.”
“Speak disgusting. Get out and die.”
Like other men, Shuji’s head is not normal.
It may be due to being praised as a survivor of the war, and it may also be due to the trauma of the great disaster.
However, there was a limit to the consideration of such circumstances.
Shuji’s words and actions of his were arbitrary enough to far exceed that limit.
“Can’t you understand unless you taste the pain? That’s like a dog pig. Do you want to be treated like an animal?”
Nanami gritting her teeth at Shuji’s words with a wicked laugh.
“Do you think it will be okay? Wouldn’t the student council be alone?”
The student council has declared that it will punish sexual violence more strongly starting this semester.
But Shuji just laughed.
“Student Council? Oh~. You mean the scarecrow bitch’s playground?”
Shiina, who secretly supports the student council, raises her eyebrows at Shuji’s blatant disrespect her.
“Haha. That would be fun. Can these scarecrow bitches catch me? Me, the youngest lieutenant at the time of the disaster?”
“…… The student council is not a scarecrow.”
Nanami doesn’t know much about the military rank system.
She learned in class too, and a few times she heard Shuji brag about it, but Nanami wasn’t interested in that.
That’s why I don’t know how great the lieutenant Shuji is talking about is.
She still thought that the student council and her bodyguards were much better than Shuji.
“Haha. Well? Now, there are only girls left in the student council. Scarecrow bitches who have never even properly killed a monster, let alone rune holders. Don’t you feel anything when you see the chairman clinging to a bully like Knives ?”
“…… It’s not like that.”
Certainly, as Shuji said, the current student council was a bit strange.
Until last year, there were some great male seniors in the student council, but at some point they either died in an accident or went abroad to study without warning. Currently, most of the members of the student council and bodyguards are women.
“Isn’t it like that? Shiina, don’t you naively believe in the rumor that Knives is the president’s lover?”
“…….”
In such a student council, the existence of Knives was extremely heterogeneous.
First of all, he is nominally a member of the president’s bodyguard, an organization under the student council.
However, no one had seen Knives guard the chairman, and he did not seem to have the ability or responsibility to do so.
Nevertheless, Knives is affiliated with the SS.
In addition, not one or two people saw him talking friendly with the president.
It was only natural for rumors to spread that the president had taken her as her lover her and put her in the SS.
“The student council is running out of power right now. That said, I wouldn’t be able to handle a big guy like me all of a sudden. If I want to, I can overturn the student council and take over. That’s why I’m trying to hold on to even idiots like Knives.”
“…… After making a lot of noise, in the end, you’re proud of yourself again? Aren’t you tired?”
“This is not bragging. Analysis.”
Shuji tucked her long bangs back and smiled softly.
Then he pulled out his fist and held it out in front of Nanami.
“My rune is ‘Fist Rune’. Everything you do with your fists is strengthened. Not just punching, but also ‘fist fuck’.”
I thought it was crazy, but I never thought it would be this much.
Nanami felt goose bumps all over her body.
“…… Won’t you let me hear dirty sounds in my ears? Because your ears get dirty.”
“I tried to be cute, but I couldn’t. I’ll let Shiina know too. The taste of my fist fuck.”
“If you can, try it!”
It was an opponent I couldn’t communicate with.
If you can’t communicate, you have no choice but to fight.
Nanami got into her battle stance.
Shiina Nanami is strong.
Her ability she has is’Spring Rune’.
Thanks to her runic ability her to increase her body’s elasticity, Nanami was unbeaten in her bare-handed combat.
At least, in the women’s group.
The academy is basically a military academy for training anti-monster combat agents.
Among the subjects, of course, there are bare-handed sparring and combat practice.
However, Dalian is divided between men and women.
In the men’s group, he only had a sparring with Yuuki once, but it felt like Yuuki fought back and lost on purpose.
I don’t know if Yuuki is my opponent.
But if it was Shuji, I was confident that I would win.
Because the difference in physical abilities between men and women can be covered somehow with rune abilities.
And because Nanami has been training in her own way.
“Hot!”
Victory in advance.
Nanami used her unique elasticity to quickly close the distance from Shuji.
She then landed a round kick to Shuji’s torso.
A blow that can even break logs.
Clumsily trying to stop her, she breaks her arm.
Then Shuji’s proud fist rune would be useless.
“Heh.”
And Shuji chose defense, not evasion.
She blocked Nanami’s flying kick with her right arm.
– Bahak!
The feeling of her heavy strike her through her legs her gives Nanami a feeling of her victory her.
The ‘women’ who had blocked Nanami’s kicks so far all withdrew, complaining of her pain her.
Even though I wasn’t really cold at the time.
So, Shuji thought that this was the end.
“Huh.”
But Shuji just sneered.
She casually swung back her arm that had blocked her kick her.
Nanami freaked out and blocked her fist her with her arms her.
– Perok!
“Kuk!”
She managed to block it, but Nanami had to back away for a while, reeling from her shock her.
An incredibly heavy blow.
Nanami felt as if she had been run over by a truck.
‘──What is it!? What’s this?!’
Nanami was shocked.
Thanks to her her unique resilience her, she was never broken, but her blows her took her to the point that she lost the use of her arms for the time being.
“Heh. Do you understand now? Difference in strength.”
Shuji laughs leisurely and aims her fist at her.
Nanami also held her stance, forcing her arms her to tremble with pain.
Shuji’s demeanor was a little twisted, but he couldn’t help but acknowledge its strength.
Clearly, he wasn’t a man with a mouth.
“I am a man who survived a great disaster with one fist. While you girls forgot tangerines in a warm room, we fought monsters in the cold wind.”
‘Can I keep fighting this and win?’
Staring at Shuji, who was still talking, Nanami was troubled.
The odds of winning are low.
And if you lose…… There was no doubt that the unimaginable would happen.
‘Then run away?’
Shuji is blocking the front door. But the back door is empty.
The back door is connected to the swimming pool, and the swimming pool is also connected to the women’s locker room.
Could I run away there?
“Huh!”
The decision was quick.
There was nothing to be gained by fighting.
In that case, it was best to run away and let people know.
However.
– Clap. Clap clap clap.
‘It’s not open!’
The back door, which was always open, was blocked by a thick iron gate.
‘──Akane!!’
Nanami first recalled the face of her nemesis who had slipped out the back door.
“Haha. Kkkk.”
Shuji approaches with a disgusting laugh.
Nanami bit her lower lip and she got into a fighting stance.
‘I have no choice but to fight now!’
If you buy only one timing, you can escape through the front door.
So, just one room.
Even if it gets blocked, if only I can steal the timing…… !
“Even now–“
“Hot!”
Shuji’s words were ignored.
Nanami fired another rounds kick.
Aiming for her neck her, not her arms her, with all his might her.
“Huh.”
However, even that blow was caught in the hands of Shuji in vain.
Shuji grabbed Nanami’s ankle and swung it around as if it were her swinging her.
“Ah……!”
The world turns
Nanami, without even understanding what had happened,
– Jjaeong!
She was thrown right into her iron gate.
“Cheer, whoa!”
Oxygen runs out of her lungs.
Shock to the back.
Gut-wrenching pain.
Nanami couldn’t breathe for a moment.
Nanami was already incompetent.
But Shuji didn’t stop there.
Turn her back
Aiming at Nanami’s stomach her, who is stuck behind her iron gate her, he swings his fist at her.
With the momentum to break down Nanami and her iron gate together.
‘Ah.’
Nanami couldn’t help but look at it.
Her body was motionless from the impact of being slammed against the iron door.
‘Yuki…….’
Nanami is,
Prepared for her death.
– Quaang!
There was a sound like a hammer hitting an iron door.
The iron door where Shuji’s fist was stuck was severely distorted.
However.
Nanami was not there.
“——What are you doing to my precious Nanami?”
A voice full of rage resounds as if it were crawling up from the bottom of hell.
A man holding Nanami and glaring at Shuji with burning eyes.
It was Knives.
