If a Weeb were to claim to own something but no one hears them, do they own it?
[Basically, I don't own anything]
[Just stop being a coward and go in (￣Д￣]
'Shut up...'
I opened the menu and looked at the current time.
'1:34 AM'
At the moment I was standing in front of the apartment door without moving.
'Is she even still awake?'
[Anxiety Negated!]
With a sigh escaping my mouth I resigned myself and knocked on the door.
I heard footsteps and could see someone putting their eye over the peephole of the door.
The door opened suddenly and with force and my mother came out.
Instead of the confused and sad expression she had when I left, she now had a worried expression on her face.
"Where have you been?! You went out at 8 and you come back just now?!" She exclaimed loudly and with now bits of anger showing on her face.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! SOME PEOPLE NEED TO WORK TOMORROW!" I heard one of the neighbours say in Japanese.
She seemed to have realized what she did and some redness could be seen appearing on her face.
I lightly coughed in my hand and gave a suggestion.
"Can we... talk inside?"
"Y-Yeah..." She replied as she started to walk inside the apartment.
We both sat on the sofa next to each other without saying anything for a while.
While I was lost in thought wondering what to say a voice brought me back to my senses.
"I... I want to know you..."
'What?'
"What?"
Without realizing I let my thoughts out.
I quickly corrected myself.
"What do you mean when you say that?"
She looked at me for a few seconds and then took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"The time you were gone, I thought about it, the death of my son... from what you've told me you're not him, and I don't think he's gonna suddenly re-appear anytime soon..." She said as she clasped her hands together.
"I know that, If I want to move forward, I have to accept that fact... but even though I know that fundamentally you aren't my son, I still feel some kind of connection to you, something that tells me to be near you..."
"I know you aren't my son..." She said again "but I know or... I feel like you're a good person, and I want to know more about that person, the person that inhabits the body of my son..."
'That's kind of a morbid statement...' I thought to myself but this time I didn't speak my thoughts out loud.
I took a few seconds to think about what she said before replying.
"Thanks for the opportunity, from now on let's try out best together." I said with a slight smile on my face.
She replied by just nodding her head, the corners of her mouth curving up ever so slightly.
I stood up from the sofa and spoke to her.
"How about we start this again?"
I saw her face with a confused expression and instead of phrasing my words another way I just went with it.
"I'm George Walker or was I should say, It's a pleasure to meet you." I said as I stretched my hand to her.
Getting what I was going on about she too stood up and spoke with a slight smile on her face.
"I'm Emma Kaiser, It's a pleasure to meet you too."
We broke the handshake and I asked a question I had in my mind.
"Should I keep calling you Mom or should I call you Emma?"
"Whichever is fine." She replied to my question seemingly not bothered by the content.
"I'm pretty mentally exhausted right now, I'm gonna try and get some sleep... you should try to as well." I told her as I walked to one of the bedrooms in the apartment.
"Yeah, I'll try to..." She replied as she herself went to the other bedroom.
"Sleep well, Emma." I said as I went inside the room.
"You too, George." I heard before closing the door.
I threw myself on the bed and grabbed the closest pillow to sleep on.
'Take me to your wonderland, Morpheus...' I thought to myself as I drifted to sleep.
"Dude, aren't you nervous?" I heard the teenager say next to me as the coach tied the tape on my hands.
"Alex! He's older than you! Didn't I taught you to respect your elders?!" The coach reprimanded his daughter while he kept rolling the tape around my hands.
"Tsk..." The teenager named Alex made a sound with her mouth.
"You little...!" The coach seemed to not be very appreciative of the response he got.
I tried to stop the quarrelling by answering the question to the teen.
"Not really, I feel like I should be but for some reason, I'm not really worried."
"Ooh! What a pro! Keeping calm even under the pressure of the final fight!" She said as she gave me some firm pats on the back.
"It's just a regional, nothing out of this world." I replied with a smile.
"Stop selling yourself short kid, you're making me lose face." The coach said with a bitter expression.
"Hahahaha! I'm sorry Mr Gutierrez." I said with a good laugh.
"I swear to God kid, every time I see you you're either laughing at something or smiling, you need to look more intimidating." Gutierrez grunted as he finished with the tape.
"Yes sir, I'm sorry." I replied with a smile.
He just sighed and stood up from where he was sitting.
"Come on kid, It's time."
I walked next to the coach in direction of the ring and as I crossed the entrance I was blinded by the incandescent lights.
[You've slept on a bed, HP and MP fully recovered!]
I woke up and sat on the edge of the bed.
'At least it wasn't a nightmare... Not yet at least...'
With a quick sigh, I stood up from the bed and went to the living room.
Everything seemed to be in its place.
'Seems like my mo- no, Emma, hasn't woken up yet.'
I searched around and found what I was searching for.
There were post-its and a pen next to the phone landline.
I took a post-it and wrote a note on it.
"I went out to look around. -George"
I stuck the post-it to my door and left the apartment.
I've been walking around time for about 1 hour now, the sights were very pretty, the streets seemed very clean overall a pretty good place to just take a walk around.
[So, how are you gonna get a job without a passport or without knowing how to read or write? (￣_￣]
'Maybe I'll get a job in a convenience store as a clerk or something, they may not pay much but it's something, right?'
[¯\_(- ͟ʖ -)_/¯]
Seeing the floating window I simply move it away and sigh to myself.
As I kept thinking about what I should do with my life I bumped into someone.
It didn't really move me but it did manage to make the sunglasses fall from my face on their way to the floor.
'Ah shit.'
I quickly let my weight drop to my legs to snatch them from the air leaving me in a Slav-squat kind of pose.
I took a close look at the sunglasses and tried to see if there were scratches or something similar.
Suddenly about 5 high school girls seem to make a semi-circle around where I was slowly pushing me into an alley.
"Oi! Gaijin! Look where you're going! Don't you have eyes or something?!" One with bleached hair said.
"Yeah! Yeah! What if you hurt our "friend" here huh?! What would you have done?!" One with short hair and even shorter skirt said.
"Could it be you were trying to do something inappropriate to her?! You pervert!" Said one with a ponytail.
After a few seconds of their shoutings, they calmed down.
"So, how are you going to compensate our "friend" for what you did? Huh?" The one with the ponytail said.
I took a few seconds to take a deep breath and then sigh.
I looked at the girl who was still on the floor trying to get up.
If I had to describe her it would be simply two words: Short and Fat.
[Call me biased but isn't this just some bullies trying to extort money out of you by using their other bullying victim? ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)]
'Wow, you're just as smart as you're annoying...'
[HUH?! YOU WANNA FIGHT?! (ʘдʘ╬)]
Giving a short chuckle at the floating screen I stood up from my squat position.
Just this got reactions out of the high-schoolers.
"Holy shit, he's tall..." Said the one with bleached hair.
"He's kinda hot..." Said a secondary character without features.
"Hey, think we should better back down from our plan?" The one with the short skirt whispered to the one with the ponytail.
"No way! We got Ametsuchi-senpai with us! She's the strongest!" Replied the ponytail one as she pointed to another girl I had completely ignored until now.
She was tall and tanned, If I had to say about 180cm/5'9", she was wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled to the elbow, instead of wearing the bow the other girls were wearing she had a tie that reached her navel with the 2 first buttons of the shirt opened, one of the more recognizable features on her were both her hairstyle which seemed to be some kind of pixie undercut and a beauty mark under her left eye.
[That's quite a detailed description right there... (ㆆᴗㆆ)]
'Is that so?'
[Intimidation resisted!]
'Wait what?'
The girl I was looking at seemed to have met my eyes and was trying her best not to look away.
She started approaching while maintaining eye contact.
[Intimidation resisted!]
"Shit, why does this happen every time?" I let my thoughts out without meaning to.
She moved the girls that were previously screaming on my face aside and stood in front of me.
All of this while maintaining eye contact.
[Intimidation resisted!]
[Damn! She seems really strong! ΣΣ(ﾟДﾟ;)]
'Is she?' The doubt was now in my head.
'Observe'
Chitose Ametsuchi (Lv 2)
[Regional Boxing Champion]
[HP:1800/1800]
[MP: n/a ]
STR: 12
DEX: 11
INT: 5
WIS: 7
CHA: 7
LUK: 5
Seeing her title made me think about the dream that I had today.
'What am I some kind of prophet now?'
Sighing to myself I put the sunglasses back on after cleaning them on my hoodie.
[The Passive Effects of "Evil Eyes" have been paused!]
"You do Boxing, right?" I asked the girl in front of me.
"He speaks Japanese?!" The one with bleached hair said as she was pulled back by her friends.
I saw her eyebrows twitch in surprise for a microsecond.
She answered with a monotone voice without looking away.
"How did you know?" She replied in Japanese.
"You recognize your own." I replied with the same kind of monotone voice while pointing slightly at her hands.
She looks at her hands and then back at me.
"What are you doing?" I say to her.
She looks at me with a face that says she doesn't know what I'm talking about.
"I mean this, surrounded by disgusting people, extorting money from someone you don't know." I said as I pointed to the high-schoolers in the back.
Her hands ball up in a fist.
"What are you? My father?" She said in the same monotone voice.
"You would like that wouldn't you?" I replied with a small mocking smile.
[You had that one saved up for this situation didn't you... (ノ_。)]
'Maybe.'
[Aplying Status to body...]
[Complete!]
As soon as she moved herself to throw a hook I could see it.
But instead of moving away I stood there and took it.
She hit me right in the chin.
[VITAL HIT!]
[-75 HP]
'It didn't as much HP as I thought it would.'
The sunglasses flew off my face and hit the floor.
I rubbed my chin out of muscle reflex more than feeling pain.
I stared at the other girls that were standing back during the whole exchange.
[Intimidation successful!]
[Intimidation successful!]
[Intimidation successful!]
[Intimidation successful!]
[Intimidation successful!]
'Oh yeah the sunglasses, I forgot...'
After making eye contact with me they quickly all nodded to each other and quickly walked away.
"Looks like your friends left." I told the girl who was now standing in an orthodox position.
"They aren't my friends." She replied without moving or changing from the position she was in.
"So it would seem." I replied with a sigh.
After a few seconds, she went in again while bobbing and weaving with a serious expression on her face.
I followed her game and took a shout-paw stance myself.
'If I hit her I might kill her, so let's try the next best thing.'
She rotated and went to hit me with a right hook.
I counterpunched but without 'punching'.
I aimed a body blow with my right barehanded fist.
And stopped inches before hitting the body.
The air pressure was high enough that it sent her rolling to the floor.
[968 Damage Dealt!]
'Shit! That might have been too much!'
I hurried to where she was and did a quick heal on her.
+270 HP
[Pulse Heal has leveled up!]
The pain of the electric shock seemed to have alerted her as she immediately stood up.
I quickly moved away too.
"What... What was that?" She said while she held her belly.
"I didn't even see it..." She continued with the same stoic but serious expression.
Thunder could be heard as the clouds in the sky seemed to become greyer.
"Shit! it's gonna rain soon!" I heard someone say as they passed the ally while running their bag over their heads.
I took a few seconds to think about my situation.
'If this keeps going is just gonna end bad, I'll try to just end it here.'
"Hey, I don't wanna get wet how about you?" I said to the girl as she looked at me with a confused expression.
I sighed.
"Just say "No"."
"No?" She replied with a monotone voice and a still confused expression.
"Great, then it's a draw, see you again hopefully never, Okay?" I said as I clapped my hands together with a fake smile.
I quickly picked up my sunglasses and put them on.
[The Passive Effects of "Evil Eyes" have been paused!]
I started to walk away.
"Hey! Gaijin!" She called as I was walking away.
"Sigh..."
"What?" I replied.
"What's your name?" She said.
'Oh God, are you for real? is this gonna be the anime moment where we tell each other our name and then proclaim to be eternal rivals until the conclusion of our rivalry in chapter 1521 of the manga?'
[That's very specific... ఠ_ఠ]
'Let's just get this over with.'
"I'm George." I said as I turned half-way to address her.
"Joji... I'm Chitose, Ametsuchi Chitose, You should remember my name." She said with a stoic expression still on her face.
"I will Chitose-chan!" I shouted behind me as I started to walk away again.
[By performing a specific action your CHA has increased by 1!]
'Are you for real...'
"DO NOT CALL ME THAT!" She shouted as I walked away.
I kept walking away without looking back and at the exit of the alley, I saw the fat and short girl who was also a victim.
She was just staring at me completely engrossed in god knows what.
I stopped before her and looked at her a bit.
I asked a quick question.
"Are you okay?"
That seemed to have taken her off whatever trance she was in and looked at me directly.
"A-AH! Yes! Thank you very miuch-" She bit her tongue.
'She bit her tongue.'
[She indeed just bit her tongue (´・ω・｀)]
I tried to restrain the small laugh but a sound came out.
Hearing this the girl went red and looked down.
"I'm sorry for laughing, I'm glad you're okay, see you around alright?" I replied with a smile to try and make her feel better.
She looked up again and spoke.
"Ah! Yes! M-My name is Shirogane Hitomi! Pleasure to meet you!" She said as she did a quick bow.
'Ah, I know.'
[What? (´･ω･`)]
'If you see close enough you realize something, this kid is pretty cute.'
[Officer this way! ヾ(・ω・)]
'Fuck off...'
"I'm George, It's nice to meet you too." I said with a small smile.
[By performing a specific action your CHA has increased by 3!]
[OFFICER QUICKLY! (๏ᗝ๏)]
"Sigh..." I started to walk away and exited the alley.
About 3 blocks down the road I started to think to myself.
'I guess I'll have to look for a Job tomorrow... I wonder what Emma is doing...'
Author Writes Things People Don't Care About Part 130:
I've been going to Aikido classes recently, needless to say, they are HARD.
If you don't know how to fall correctly you can fuck yourself up really badly.
Which I did.
So I've been basically getting hurt bad, going home, recovering and then going back to Aikido classes.
So, in short, I haven't had too much free time to write because I've been getting my ass pounded ₙₒ ₕₒₘₒ.
NOW TO ADDRESS THE READERS!
Cole BloodRose:
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
That's honestly the obvious one at the moment, the thing is how I would go about introducing an Item that could hold Akira in.
Hmm, If only I had some kind of mechanic that allowed me to add a broken Item and it being justified.
That's all for the moment :^)
