As Shou returns from the nearest convenience store with the beverages, he sat down which was sitting in the shade on the beach. "Oi, what are you doing here in the shade? Don't you wanna go into the sea to cool off instead of the shade?" "..." "Oi What's wrong?" "Ah, No, it's nothing I was just spacing out and I don't want to get sunburned." "I see..." 'Even though she said that she looked troubled to me. Well even if she didn't tell me, I already knew what was the problem anyway, since this island is her hometown and her parents didn't exactly treated her very well. At first, she was your usual pure little girl when she was younger but one night her parents had an argument and overheard her father that she was being a nuisance to the house as he doesn't like the fact that his wife focused more on her than doing household chores and preparing his dinner when he comes back home from work and slowly, argument, after argument, after argument, night after night her mother slowly sta
That morning, everyone slowly woke up one by one, but even so, they all managed to eat simultaneously, as they finished breakfast all of them went out to sightsee Okinawa the whole day. "Pwuahh, drinking soda after a long walk of sightseeing in Okinawa is the best." Said Ryota. "You're drinking like an old man just now, Ryota... Weirdo." Eiko responded. As they were arguing Shou was sitting beside Hotaru, waiting for Raiden to come back with their orders as they stopped by a store to try out some Okinawa delicacy. "Uh, Hotaru why are you sitting beside me?" "Because I might come across my parents so..." "You haven't told the others about your situation have you?" "No, not yet, I don't want to ruin their fun." "Hmm, They probably don't mind at all, after all, we're the sixth division, people call us the abnormal division you know?" "No one calls us the abnormal division, Older brother." "Geh...T-that's true..." Shou was embarrassed at his mistake. "Pfft, You're acting weird
The sun was slowly starting to set and all of them were starting to get tired, so they decided to go home except for Hotaru. "Aren't you coming with us Hotaru?" Ryota asks. "No, I have something else I have to do." She replied. "Oh ok, Don't stay up too late." "I'll come with you." Shou offered. Hotaru hesitated on Shou's offer but Accepts it anyway. "Alright, sure." "Get home safely tonight you two." Said Ryota as he tries to catch up with the others. "Hm? Where's the newbie and Hotaru?" Eiko asks Ryota. "Hotaru said she'll catch up with us later since she said she has something else to do, so Shou accompanied her." "Oh, I see, well good luck for the both of them I guess." "What's with that halfhearted concern." "No reason, I'm just tired." "That doesn't give you a reason to say that kind of excuse..." "Oh, Shut up already." Meanwhile, Shou and Hotaru were still walking. "So where are we going?" "Oh, uh, To the department store actually, I just want to look at somethi
"What are you blabbering about? What do you mean beating me up? Have you lost your mind?" "... It's just what I just said, I'll be having my revenge today.""You fucking idiotic daughter. Do realize you're being disrespectful to your parents, if you could've just let him do what he asks for, you would've greatly benefited us from our debt in half!"Hotaru lets out a small innocent smile and replied."I'm glad you haven't changed, father, I was anxious that if I met you today I would've trembled in fear because of the trauma you inflicted on me in my childhood, but now I'm so pissed off right now that I don't feel anxious or remorse for you now.""Huh? N-no way you're-"Without letting him finish his sentence, Hotaru sent him flying with a drop kick to his face. While he was still on the ground, Hotaru took the chance and continuously punched his face into the cold cement floor. Even if his teeth were falling out with blood she still wouldn't stop.And Shou didn't stop her either as he
'Those guys who were following is earlier when we're in public...Seems like there's someone who hired some people to stalk us.' Ryota thought to himself."Captain.""I already know, Ryota, someone was trying to spy on us and getting information on our current whereabouts.""What do you think should we do right now? Should we tell the others?""No, that won't be necessary yet...Unless they try to stalk us again."'Although they did manage to stalk us in public areas, they couldn't keep an eye on us with our feints. It was too easy to evade them since it was decently crowded today, so it was only lucky...No I think they were clumsy because they underestimated us.' Raiden thought to himself.Earlier...'those two guys...They've been following us for a while now, have the others noticed it?'Raiden looks back to see that everyone has noticed that someone has been following them for a while except Shou who was pretending but already knows that someone was following them.'Seems like the ne
One by one, they asked every person in the neighborhood to see if they could find Hotaru's old house but one after the other, all of them didn't know where she lives. Meanwhile, Her father called someone on the phone. "Yes, yes, I've brought her, Yes, It's a pleasure doing business with you too... Thanks to you Hotaru, Half of me and your mother's debt is settled, You're really a big help Hotaru." "Fuck you!" "... You know if you would've been an obedient daughter, none of this would've happened to you, I wouldn't have to force you to kidnap and beat you." "Liar! You still beat me and my mom when I was younger." "You were a child back then, you wouldn't understand why I needed to hit you." Hotaru started laughing at his audacity. "HAHAHA! I wouldn't understand!? Bitch fuck you! You have the audacity to tell me that?! HAHAHA! You're actually dumber than I thought." Feeling embarrassed, her father tries to hit her again until he was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Who the
His appearance was beyond recognition, Hotaru felt relief as if someone took off the chains that were weighing her down after killing her abusive father. Her mother on the other hand was watching, lying on the ground on her stomach, Her face was filled with unbelief as she witnessed her daughter kill someone, her daughter that was once sweet and full of joy and innocence, killed someone. What's even more horrifying for her was that she heard Shou telling her now late husband that they were a part of a yakuza. "H-Hotaru, You're not actually part of the yakuza right? They're threatening you to do this right? Forcing you to be a part of them...Right?..." Said her mother with her voice trembling in disbelief. Everyone went silent and their eyes showed pity and coldness as if they were looking at a child who won't accept that the family they once knew was gone. All of them know the harsh and painful feeling of a person who you once knew, changed very differently... For the better or for t
Yumiko's parents were only proud of her achievements but only as a prideful asset to gain more influence in their name because they would only show off her achievements, she thought about it and if it weren't for those achievements they wouldn't acknowledge her. What she wanted was her parent's personal and genuine acknowledgment and attention as a parent and not as an asset for the influence of their family name. Middle school came around and she attended a school somewhere in Tokyo, in her midterm in middle school she was part of the smartest kids in school, and she was no doubt in the number one spot on their school leaderboard, but one of her classmates particularly stood out as she was observing her every move even her expressions and reactions for quite a while now. Then one day, she reached out to Yumiko. "I'm Shibata Nao, nice to meet you!" "Mishiki Yumiko, Nice to meet you as well." She said with a monotone. Shibata Nao has long blonde hair, quite athletic. People tend to
