"What the hell is that? Where did this stray dog come from?"
The man was annoyed that his good deed had been interrupted. But when he saw that it was just a pack of stray dogs, his expression softened, and he said disdainfully, "I've heard some ghost stories about the old school building. They're probably caused by these stray dogs, tch."
But aren't there a lot of them? This place has become a doghouse! And why are they staring at me like that?
"Do they think I'm prey? These beasts."
Tougou flexed his muscles and clenched his fists. The next second, a stray dog beside him suddenly opened its mouth, growled, and lunged at the man.
"Damn mad dog, get out of my way!!!"
Kazuma stood leisurely by the second-floor window, enjoying the fight below. He saw Tougou break the bone of the wild dog that pounced on him with a single punch, and muttered to himself, "He's got all those muscles, but who's going to fight you one-on-one?"
"And besides, if we're really talking about animals, you're not even as good as an animal."
Coach Tougou's muscles were no joke; he slammed two charging dogs to the ground with a punch and a kick, but more wild dogs pounced from all directions, their drooling teeth tearing at the man's flesh.
"Aaaahhhh!"
"No!!!!!!"
"Stop! Stop it right now!!!"
Blood splattered out, chunks of flesh were torn off in a bloody mess, and the pack of rabid dogs swarmed forward. Even though they were only half alive, they ferociously tore at the man in front of them. Their fearless ferocity finally made Tougou feel fear.
The man who was just moments ago so arrogant is now acting like a madman, his body covered in wounds and dripping with blood.
Akane Nanao, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.
One second she was in deep despair because of her tragic experience, but what's with these stray dogs?
"Get out of here!!! All of you, get out of here!!!"
"Who are you? What are you?!"
Tougou has gone mad.
The wounds on his legs, arms, back, and waist multiplied, and more and more pieces of flesh were torn off, staining the ground red with blood. A pack of wild dogs ignored everything and swarmed over to devour the flesh. The man, who was able to put up a fight at first, was quickly overpowered.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Something's not right. These stray dogs are abnormal. They're completely ignoring Akane and just frantically tearing at me. Is this a curse on the old school building? Or a ghost of the old school building? Impossible! Ghosts are just nonsense!
Absolutely impossible!
Someone, someone must be plotting against me behind my back!
Who is it? Who on earth is it?!
"Damn it!!! Come out here! Let's fight one-on-one!!" Tougou shouted and cursed wildly, unwilling to accept defeat. He had coveted Akane Nanao for so long and was about to enjoy this beautiful woman, but it was all ruined at the crucial moment.
He couldn't accept it! He was indignant!
"You piece of trash! Coward! You filthy bitch..."
The wild dogs stopped eating and instead surrounded him, blood dripping from their mouths as they stared intently at him. The pack of dogs stared expressionlessly, silent as if time had stopped, standing motionless in perfect unison, a deathly stillness.
It did not make any sound.
It's eerily chilling.
They also suffered heavy losses; five were killed outright, four were seriously injured, and the rest sustained minor injuries of varying degrees. This strong man's fighting prowess was indeed terrifying. If it weren't for the effect of the Momotaro rice ball, which made the wild dogs fearless, they would have been scared away long ago.
This man is truly terrifying.
The angry shouts gradually faded, and the struggles weakened. Only then did he realize something: he was...he was about to die? Impossible! How could I die in a place like this? Beheaded by a pack of wild dogs? This kind of thing—
It hurts, damn it, it hurts so much!
I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!
He still has so many things to do, how can he die here? He hasn't yet had his way with Akane Nanao, hasn't yet enjoyed that bitch, and there's also her friend, I think her name is Kanna Hiiragi, who's also a target.
There are so many beautiful female students at school, and a wonderful life awaits me.
He was unwilling to accept it.
Suddenly, the man lying on the ground narrowed his pupils to pinpoints. He saw it! He saw the second-floor window, the figure in the window, and could even make out the person's face.
He was also watching himself.
That face looks familiar—wait, isn't that the brat we met yesterday, that student?!
Tougou's pupils dilated wildly, and his expression was incredibly complex.
It's him! It must be him!!
"You, you..."
He reached out his hand tremblingly, wanting to point to the second floor. Countless words were on his mind, but his trembling hand wouldn't lift. "It's you, you...you..."
He even saw the brat smile at him, a smile as eerie as ever, full of mockery.
It was him, he was the mastermind behind it all—the man wailed, letting out hoarse "heh heh heh," screaming wildly in his mind, his body trembling with excitement, and then he lay still.
To die in the agony of anger and despair.
"Is he dead?" Akane Nanao watched from beginning to end how Tougou was torn apart and killed. The bloody scene made her feel uncomfortable, but the girl was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she felt great satisfaction. The joy of surviving a disaster filled her heart.
He just glanced up at the old school building. What was he looking at? What was he saying? What was the meaning of that last sentence?
Are there other people involved?
Akane looked up but saw nothing. Remembering her desperate plea not long ago, longing for someone to save her, she froze, muttering to herself, "Could it be that someone granted my wish?"
[Wishlist (Akane Nanao) Completed]
[Completion S, Reward: Lottery Coins +5]
"The order is done. It was really not easy," Kazuma said, then paused for a moment. "No, I should say it was quite easy."
As for whether I felt any guilt about killing that guy, yeah, it was a stray dog that bit him to death, what does that have to do with me, besides, killing that guy was surprisingly satisfying, even though my principle is to keep a low profile.
But that doesn't mean he's a coward.
He could lie low and grow quietly, but that didn't stop him from secretly planning something big.
"He saw me, but he could never say it. Let him go to hell clutching his final despair," Kazuma said with a satisfied smile. "Five lottery coins? The beginner gift pack only gave me one. Is this because I got an S-rank completion?"
It was most likely because he had brutally killed Tougou that he received such a high rating. If he had only taught him a lesson, there was no way the evaluation would have reached S-rank. Sometimes, ruthlessness really was necessary.
Just as Kazuma was happily reviewing his gains, a graceful and tall figure appeared behind him without him noticing.
"Did you do what happened down there?" A calm yet slightly cold female voice sounded behind him.
Holy crap!
Kazuma was so startled he nearly swore aloud. He spun around and saw a beautiful, aloof girl with long flowing hair standing behind him. He had no idea when she had appeared.
Wait—wasn't this the famous senior student he'd seen this morning? Tosaka Fuyuka?
When did she come to the old school building?
