What If I Told Tomori-san, The Girl Who's Cold Only Towards Me, That I Knew Her Secret Account? - V1 Chapter 9.5

The Hidden Side of Kimitaka Kagisaka 5

“——Hey, enough.”

Suddenly, a chilling cold voice resounded.

Due to the electric shock, my vision was unfocused.

There, reflected in it, was a boy wearing a gray uniform who entered by forcefully opening the door.

What?

“…K-kagisaka-kun?”

No way. Why are you here?

No, run away. There’s no way you can win in a three-on-one fight. And besides, Yamashiro even has a stun gun.

“Get away from that kid right now.”

Who the hell are you? One of his cronies shouted.

The guy rushed towards him and threw a punch——

As it turns out, it didn’t take more than a few seconds for him to settle things.

With a dry sound, the boy’s body collapsed to the floor.

It was a sharp counter strike with his palm heel. Precisely hitting the chin with the palm, shaking the opponent’s brain.

As a result, the guy fell down and lost consciousness with a concussion.

“Bastard!”

There was even less mercy against the next guy.

His left fist sank into the face of the crony who was about to attack.

The startled man tried to avoid it by bowing down his head and trying to tackle Kagisaka-kun’s leg.

“Agh!”

With a scream, the guy clung to his body.

Kagisaka-kun slammed the man’s left ear and controlled his movement.

Moaning in pain as if his ear was about to tear off, the man tried to grab Kagisaka-kun’s arm.

Then a powerful knee strike was delivered to his face.

It was a blow that perfectly anticipated the opponent’s movement.

The man finally fell to the ground and twitched like a doll.

“W-Wait!”

A frantic scream.

After Yamashiro got off me, he dropped the taser gun to the floor and raised his hands in surrender.

“I’ll give her back, so please save me!”

He pleaded for his life with a trembling voice.

It was understandable. Yamashiro was the only one left.

In just a few seconds, Kagisaka-kun had taken down his cronies.

“Okay.”

“R-Really!?”

“Ah, sure. I won’t do anything else. Just apologize to Tomori first.”

“Okay…”

Yamashiro took a deep breath, trying to calm his ragged breathing, and then pulled out another taser gun from inside his jacket,

“You idiot!”

I was astonished by the sight in front of me.

It was a bluff, making it seem like he surrendered.

Earlier, Yamashiro had said, [I’ll lend you one later.]

From the beginning, he had a second gun, including the one he would lend to his cronies.

But what surprised me wasn’t that fact.

It was as if he had predicted Yamashiro’s movements.

As soon as the weapon was revealed, Kagisaka-kun closed the distance in an instant.

Without hesitation, Kagisaka-kun struck Yamashiro’s hand with a knife-hand strike.

The impact caused the gun to fall to the floor.

Immediately after kicking Yamashiro away with a front kick and creating some distance, the battle was over.

Kagisaka-kun picked up the taser gun that had fallen to the ground and held it with one hand.

“You…!”

Yamashiro, unable to move due to the gun pointed at him, shouted.

“You tried to deceive me? Saying earlier that you won’t do anything…!”

“You were trying to deceive me too, okay?”

“Damn it! How did you know I had another one?”

“Your jacket’s chest area was slightly bulging. If you pay attention and observe, you can tell when someone is up to something. Deceiving with a fake surrender is basic. And…”

“A-And?”

Yamashiro asked with a frightened expression, and Kagisaka-kun, with a cold expression, said,

“I won’t believe the words of a bastard like you.”

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

“Aghh!”

Yamashiro convulsed as he received a high-voltage electric shock and collapsed to the floor.

(A-amazing…!)

I was amazed at the vividness of the situation.

It was a horrific attack, but it wasn’t meant to torment the opponent.

He did it because it was the most effective thing to do.

Rendering the opponent unable to act using the shortest route to protect myself!

A sharp counter, the ear, and kneeing. It was completely different from the conventional techniques I had learned.

The speed and precision were like a refined procedure.

It’s the behavior of someone highly experienced in actual combat.

Moreover, it wasn’t just mindless violence.

In the end, he saw through the bluff and turned the tables, completely overwhelming them with strategy.

“It’s okay now, Tomori.”

Kagisaka-kun said in a gentle voice that seemed completely different from before, reassuring me.

“Go rest now. You took a hit, huh? Your focus is off.”

“Ah… “

I nodded dizzily

Suddenly, my thread of tension snapped.

The consciousness I had barely held on to started fading.

“S-sorry, I’m sorry, p-please forgive me…”

A pitch-black field of vision. Amidst that, I could hear Yamashiro’s screams in my fading consciousness.

“Takashi Yamashiro.”

And then, Kagisaka-kun’s voice once again filled with coldness.

“I’ll leave you guys to the ones who will be here soon. Don’t get close to Aisu students from now on. And never lay a hand on Tomori again.”

In the darkness…

On the verge of breaking my consciousness, suddenly——

“Don’t touch my friend.”

——Those were the words I had been longing for all this time.
