Chapter 21 Fighting (Seeking follow-up reading)

"Hey! Kosaka, why didn't you say hello when you saw us this morning? Do you look down on the three of us?"

In the second to last row by the window on the left side of the classroom, a fierce-looking boy with triangular eyes raised his head and glanced at the three bad boys who surrounded him.

With a sneer, he turned his head back and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Ryuji Kousaka has become accustomed to the harassment from these bad boys. When he first came to school, he had a fierce face and a pair of shocking triangular eyes.

Therefore, many people were afraid of him, but after spending a long time together, his classmates discovered his character and their relationship began to become closer.

Although social interaction is essential for ordinary students.

But for Ryuji Takashita, what he regretted most in school was that he did not maintain his cool personality.

Ever since he was exposed, the bad boys in the school, who were initially afraid of him, gradually became more unscrupulous.

For them, Takasaka Ryuji, who is used to being alone, is undoubtedly an excellent target for bullying.

School bad boys often use this method of intimidation and oppression against students who are alone together to satisfy their dark thoughts and establish their own prestige on campus.

"Hey! Are you deaf, kid?"

Watanabe felt humiliated when he saw that he was completely ignored by Ryuji Kousaka. In a rage, he kicked Kousaka's desk again and again.

Along with the harsh creaking sound, the desk seemed to be shaking in protest.

Ryuji Kousaka's inner peace was finally broken by the sudden noise. He turned his head sharply and looked directly at Watanabe.

The fierce look made Watanabe's heart tremble. He took a few steps back involuntarily, and his face turned red with embarrassment and fear.

It seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were silently scrutinizing him, making him feel uneasy and humiliated.

Suddenly, the rumors he got from the neighbors flashed through Watanabe's mind, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

He slowly approached Kousaka Ryuji, lowered his voice, and whispered maliciously in his ear.

"Come to think of it, Kousaka, isn't your mother a hostess at the Bishamon Club?"

These words pierced Kousaka Ryuji's heart like a sharp blade. His eyes instantly became sharp and locked onto Watanabe.

Noticing the drastic fluctuations in Kousaka Ryuji's emotions, Watanabe felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart.

Successfully turned the game around!

So he repeated his old trick and went a step further in his provocation.

"How about I patronize your mother's 'business' someday?"

Before he finished speaking, a deafening noise suddenly sounded in the classroom, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the back of the classroom.

I saw the tables and chairs in the last row were in a mess, scattered on the ground.

Watanabe was lying in the middle in a miserable state, with several clear fist marks on his face, which was particularly glaring.

The pain came like a tide, and Watanabe struggled to prop himself up with his hands. He glanced at the surprised or sympathetic eyes of his classmates around him, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

He turned his head suddenly and yelled at his two companions who were still standing there in a daze.

"Yamamoto! Nakamura! What are you two still standing there for? Come on, teach this ignorant brat a lesson!"

————————

"So, this is why you got into a fight in class?"

Takasaka Ryuji was kneeling on the tatami. In front of him was a woman with blond hair and delicate features. She was holding a cotton swab and gently applying medicine on his face.

"That's because..."

Just as Ryuji Kousaka was about to explain something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wound.

"Yoko! Ah, it hurts, it hurts, be gentler!"

Takasaka Yoko flicked Takasaka Ryuji's forehead hard with her finger, and then said unhappily.

"I thought you were made of steel and not afraid of pain!"

Hearing the tone becoming heavier, Takasaka Ryuji realized that his mother was really angry.

"Sorry, Yoko!"

After applying the medicine, Yoko Takasaka slowly stood up, packed up the medical box she was carrying, turned around, stepped on a small stool and placed it on top of the cabinet.

While adjusting the position of the medical box, he spoke with his back to Takasaka Ryuji.

"Now that you know, don't fight anymore."

"But……"

Before Takata Ryuji could finish his words, Takata Yoko walked down from the bench and raised her palms upwards.

Takaoka Ryuji understood what was going to happen next and lowered his head and closed his eyes.

But what followed was not a slap, but a strong hug.

Ryuji Takata felt the warm hug, and suddenly his shoulders felt wet. He instantly realized Takata Yoko's mood at the moment.

He reached out his hand to Takasaka Yoko's back and patted it gently, slowly trying to comfort the other person and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm sorry Yoko."

Gao Banlong Er knew clearly.

Her biological father was young and unemployed, and under the pressure of raising a child, he left without saying goodbye when Yoko Takasaka became pregnant.

Yoko did this despite everyone around her opposing her.

Choose yourself.

Therefore, after a big fight with her parents, Yoko moved to Tokyo.

Having suffered so much during that period, no one knows the importance of learning better than her.

"Your only goal now is to study, study, and study again."

"Mom only hopes that you can study hard, get into college, and learn something to make a name for yourself. Otherwise... otherwise..."

Ryuji Takasaka seemed to hear Yoko's slight twitch.

"Otherwise, you will leave in the future like your father due to family circumstances. What should I do?"

"You are my only treasure..."

The house was silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Yoko seemed to have calmed down. She turned her body around the moment she stood up.

It seemed that he didn't want Takasaka Ryuji to see any vulnerable expression on his face.

“Boom boom!”

“Bang!”

The knocking on the door became more and more intense, gradually escalating into violent banging on the door!

Yoko turned her back to Ryuji Takasaka and tried to calm herself down, soothing him with a still slightly trembling voice.

"Ryuji, go inside and do your homework first. Mom is going out!"

Gao Banlongji felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird and stood still.

As if she had noticed Ryuji's movements, Yoko's voice began to sound a little angry.

"You don't listen to your mother! Go in and study!"

Gao Ban Long Er clenched his fists tightly, knowing that the person outside the door was most likely a debt collector.

That was because Yoko was sick and was forced to borrow money from the association.

After all, the family income pressure is basically all on Yoko, and even though Ryuji has a part-time job, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, the only option is to borrow money to treat the disease.

Unfortunately, borrowing money cured one condition but not the other.

This disease is called poverty disease.

Ryuji Takasaka still didn't move, so Yoko sighed and hurried out the door.

Ryuji also followed his mother to the door, and then hid behind it so that he could take action at any time if the situation went wrong.

After a while, the noise outside the door subsided as Yoko pleaded.

Yoko returned to the house, glanced at Ryuji at the door, and sighed.

"I've prepared dinner and put it in the kitchen. You should do your homework after you eat. Mom has to go out to work."

In an empty room.

Gao Banlongji looked at the exercise book in annoyance and threw his pencil to the ground.

"Let's go for a walk!"

The night wind blows on my face.

Ryuji Takashita was walking casually on the street when suddenly he noticed a magnificent church.

A trace of disgust appeared on his face. Regarding this church, Yoko once told him that it was a gathering place for cult members and that he should never have any contact with them.

Just as Gao Ban Longji was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a loud noise in his ears.

He couldn't help but look back and saw a burly man flying out of the yard and hitting the tree hard!

Then a samurai sword swept across the night sky, piercing through the burly man and the tree!

Just like candied haws on a string.

After struggling for a while, the man's arms drooped and he became motionless.

What is this? Are they filming a movie?

No! It's a murder case!

Suddenly, Ryuji Takashita looked through the glass at a man with a bloody devil mask.

A suffocating feeling like a python's coil surrounds me!

Realizing that he might have stumbled upon a murder scene, Takasaka Ryuji immediately looked away.

Gao Ban Long Er glanced at the quiet environment around him and felt a little scared. He ran directly towards the trail.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A large number of branches brushed past Takasaka Ryuji's body, making a rustling sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Ryuji Takashita arrived at an abandoned shrine in the wild.

He sat down on the short stone pillar next to the shrine to rest, panting.

What was that just now? Did I come across a murder scene?

Panting, Takashi Ryuji held his hands back.

Um?

Suddenly he seemed to touch a stick-like object. Out of curiosity, he grabbed the stick in his palm and picked it up to take a look.

ah!

After observing the true form of the object, Gao Ban Long Er threw it away!

Because what caught the eye was a dry finger wrapped in rags!

After sitting quietly for a while and calming down his emotions, Gao Banlongji decided to get up and go home.

Before leaving, out of curiosity he took a look at the dried fingers thrown on the ground.

"Huh? Where are your fingers?"

He was surprised to find that the finger that had fallen to the ground had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Maybe the finger rolled and deviated from its position.

The back of Takashi Ryuji as he stood up and left.

A dry finger seemed to have life, with the joints bent.

Holding tightly onto the belt loops on Ryuji's jeans.

Shortly after Takasaka Ryuji left, the masked man walked out from the shadows.

Watching Takashi Ryuji carry away the finger that he had specially placed on the shrine.

"Motherly love, loneliness, poverty, and violent nature!"

"I'm so lucky to have come across another high-quality stock. I must make good use of this small investment... Long Er..."
