I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 582: Karma

Being forced to leave half of the members by Hayama made the group of little girls panic.

Leaving aside Rumi, who was being isolated, the rest stared at each other and seemed ready to choose who was the next sacrifice.

This is how a human is.

When one is threatened by great fear, one won’t hesitate to sacrifice others to save themselves.

Of course, there was an exception.

When one has fallen for someone or that someone has a lot of meanings for them, like how a mother loves her children, they won’t hesitate to sacrifice themselves to save their loved one.

However, the group of children in front of them definitely didn’t have such a relationship. Their relationship was bonded, so they wouldn’t be alone and could become strong enough to make fun of the people around them.

Yet it was a normal thing.

It was like how a group of Vikings robbed England.

It was like how the weak became the food of the strong in the jungle.

In the end, a human was just an advanced animal.

Even if they thought of themselves as civilized, many of their actions weren’t that much different from animals.

A person is weak, which is why they have made a group.

When they are in a group, they can protect themselves.

Rumi was alone, and her opponents were four people.

Four were bigger than one.

Even the mathematics had said so.

Still, there was an exception, an individual who was able to protect themselves against a group of people, controlling them, making them their b.i.t.c.hes.

However, Rumi wasn’t such a person. She was just a kind-hearted girl who pulled the short end of the stick.

In other words, she was unlucky.

However, most children who stayed in the same cla.s.s as this naughty group of little girls were unlucky.

In front of such children, there was no need to be polite, and there was no need to treat them gently since it would fill their egos.

They needed to know their actions couldn’t be called innocent anymore and could be laughed at like it was a joke for one to talk during dinner time.

Instead, it was something hurtful and should be d.a.m.ned.

The trauma on the children would affect one’s personality when they become older.

While the people who were bullied or isolated might not show anything when they became an adult, their hearts were roaring in pain.

Yet many people didn’t understand this and either ignored or underestimated this problem since it happened everywhere.

“Everyone” felt it, so you should also deal with it too.

Shishio didn’t like those types of people, and he knew they could say something like that because they hadn’t tasted it, and it was his hobby to tell those people how it felt to be treated like that.

“If only Yuka hadn’t said that earlier.”

“Eh?”

“Yeah, it’s all your fault, Yuka!”

“That’s right!”

Yuka was attacked by the three girls, pushed to the side, and thrown away like she was a plague.

“No!”

However, Yuka still couldn’t understand her situation and fought back.

“Hitomi was the first one to open her big mouth!”

Hitomi was in disbelief before she refuted. “I didn’t say anything! I didn’t do anything wrong! I am sure More was the one who ticked them off!”

“Huh?” Mori was in shock.

“You’re always like that. You act like that with the teachers too.

“How I act normally has nothing to do with this!”

Everyone started to blame each other. They felt they weren’t at fault. Instead, it was the others’ fault. They didn’t want to be hurt, and they wanted the others to take the blame.

Hayama almost couldn’t bear it, but he didn’t say anything since he was utterly disappointed.

‘Good girl?’

Hayama wanted to laugh at this moment. All he could see was a group of double-faced girls who only wanted to protect themselves.

“Stop it! Let’s all apologize!”

One of the girls suddenly cried.

Shishio looked at the crying girl and wanted to give a thumbs up. Frankly, he hated when a woman cried, especially in a critical situation.

The woman’s tears were an unfair thing.

When a man had to beg for one to apologize for a mistake that had been made, a woman could cry and make people forgive her.

In his previous life, his father often complained to him about a certain female politician, who used her tears, so everyone would forgive the mistakes that had been made by her decision. She kept crying and crying without solving the situation.

It ticked him off, but he must admit a woman’s tears were a powerful weapon.

However, some women use their tears as something cheap.

If it was Tobe and Hayama alone, their hearts would be softened.

Unfortunately, Yumiko was there. “I hate women who think all they have to do is cry all above else.”

In front of a woman’s tears, it was impossible for a man to stand up. However, in front of another woman, they could punch this fake cry into the dust.

Hayama and Tobe also started to become impatient.

Tobe did shadow boxing, and Hayama hurried them. “You get thirty seconds. I need two more names.”

“You know what will happen if you snitch on us, right? I remember what you look like, so don’t even think about escaping!”

“Twenty seconds left.”

The group of girls even panicked.

“It’s gotta be Yuka!”

“Yeah! Stay back, Yuka!”

“I agree!”

When one takes the initiative to put someone on blame, the others also follow.

Yuka was already abandoned.

“Go on.”

They started to push her.

However, Yuka got angry, showing her last struggle. “Hey, don’t push me!”

“Yuka!”

Still, they didn’t feel fear toward Yuka. Instead, they pushed her harder. In front of the group of high school students, what was Yuka?

“Sorry, but we don’t have any choice.”

Yuka could be helplessly pushed to Rumi’s side before she lowered her head.

The happy group of friends that had worked together crumbled and vanished. There was no trace of friendship among them. Instead, a fear of being betrayed by one another.

“One more.”

Along with Hayama’s reminder, they knew they had to choose one more person.

Another one had to be sacrificed, so the others could safely get out of this place.

“Ten, nine, eight…

Hayama started his countdown.

“It’s time.”

Shishio’s reminder made them nod.

All they had to do was to get out and tell them that everything was a prank.

“Wait, Shishiron!”

Yui suddenly pulled the hem of his t-shirt since she knew they didn’t need to get out. She could see that Rumi was about to do something.

However, Shishio didn’t say anything, and his nose twitched slightly. His expression became serious, and everyone noticed the change in his expression.

“What’s wrong?” Yukinos.h.i.ta suddenly asked since she felt something.

“Get everyone out! Hurry!”

“Huh?”

They were confused, but they quickly noticed the creature that made their heart almost stop.

No one said anything, and they shut their mouths when they saw this creature.

“Be-Bear?!” Hikigaya almost exclaimed, but his mouth was covered by Shishio.

The bear suddenly came out on the side of Hayama, Tobe, Yumiko, Rumi, and the other little girls. It came out from the bush, staring at them.

“Go and tell the teacher.” Shishio looked at the three of them.

However, before they could react, the group of little girls quickly screamed and ran away.

“Bear!”

Those little girls quickly ran away and didn’t care about Hayama, Tobe, Yumiko, Rumi, and even Yuka, who were stunned in place. After all, those high school students had bullied them before, so in front of the danger, they didn’t hesitate to run away, ignoring the danger that might happen after they ran away.

As expected, the moment they ran away, the bear roared as it stood tall.

“ROOOOOARRRR!!!”

The roar of the beast was so loud, making their legs weak.

Even Yukinos.h.i.ta, Yui, and Hikigaya didn’t expect this situation, but they were quickly awoken by Shishio.

“Go! Go! Tell the teacher! Tell them to bring a gun, machete, or anything!”

Shishio might bring a weapon, but it was impossible to use it when they were so close to the bear. He knew he had to take all of them away first, or else many would die.

The three quickly saw Shishio walking forward toward the bear.

“Shishiron!” Yui panicked and wanted to stop Shishio, but she couldn’t.

Yukinos.h.i.ta was also the same, but she tried to calm herself. “It’s okay. He is powerful and knows martial arts.”

“Can he defeat a bear?” Hikigaya asked grimly.

“I don’t know, but we need to get the teacher! Hurry!”

It was useless for them to stay in this place, and what they could do was to get the teacher as soon as possible!

Hayama, Tobe, and Yumiko didn’t know what to do since this beast wasn’t something they expected to encounter.

However, suddenly something flew into the eye of the bear.

“ROOOOOARRRR!!!’

The bear suddenly roared in pain while covering one of its eyes.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and run!”

Hayama and Tobe felt the blood from the bear on their faces. The warm liquid which splashed on their faces awoke them.

On the other hand, Shishio had already held Yumiko, Rumi, and Yuka in his arms.

“Go! Go! Hurry up and run!”

Hearing his reminder, Tobe and Hayama didn’t hesitate and ran with Shishio. They also saw him able to hold three girls at the same time, so they knew that they only needed to run away.

“Uwaaaa!!!”

Tobe couldn’t control his emotions, screaming while running.

Hayama wasn’t much better, but he was calmer and still asked, “What did you do?”

“I made it blind by throwing stone into its eye,” Shishio said confidently, trying to calm the three girls in his arms. He held Rumi and Yuka on one arm and Yumiko on the other. The three girls hugged him tightly without hesitation since they felt only his existence could bring him safety.

“Awesome!”

Hearing his words, Tobe couldn’t help but praise him.

Hayama was also amazed and calmed down a bit.

“Still, hurry up and run since I am afraid it might chase after us,” Shishio said.

They nodded without hesitation, feeling frustrated since they couldn’t run faster.

When they came out of the forest, they were quickly greeted by Hiratsuka and the other teachers.

“Where is the bear?” Hiratsuka quickly asked.

“ROOOOOARRRRR!!”

The bear was right behind them!

“Where’s the firearm?” Shishio quickly asked since he thought this type of camp would prepare a shotgun or something, considering this place was close to a forest.

“There isn’t any!” Hiratsuka wanted to cry.

‘The heck?!’

Everyone wanted to complain at that moment. They felt their teachers were useless.

No one expected the bear would chase after them, but when they saw its b.l.o.o.d.y eye staring at them viciously, no words came out of their mouths.

They were all pacifists and hadn’t seen a beast in their lives. They were living in a peaceful era without fighting by using their bodies.

Shishio sighed and knew that he had to handle the bear himself.

“Here, protect them a bit.”

Shishio put the three girls down and said loudly, “Close your ears!”

Everyone was already weak since they didn’t expect this situation. However, when one took the lead, the others also followed. They closed their ears with some confusion.

Yet it had nothing to do with the bear, and it charged toward Shishio’s direction since he was the one who hurt it. It moved so fast, and it was ready to tear him apart.

However…

*Bang!*

Shishio took out the gun he had kept and shot it into the bear’s brain.

“…”

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Shishio moved closer and shot the bear without stopping.

Everyone’s ears rang, and they felt slightly dizzy because of the loud noise of the gun. However, they couldn’t look away from him, watching him shoot down the bear.

Shishio stopped the shot when the bear fell, and blood kept dripping from its body. He rubbed his temple and wondered whether this was karma.
