Hello Oregairu Fandom!
Ok this is a series I want to try, it's set in 'The Dark Knight of Chiba' universe. I suggest to anyone who hasn't read the story to do so first before reading this.
Ok this series is probably ludicrous and dumb, in a good way or in a bad way depending on who is reading. But just have fun with it.
So imagine if an Oregairu character encounters an insane scenario involving freaks and creeps, how will that turn out? And who else to pick other than the Oregairu girl with absolutely zero tolerance for 'gross' people?
Miura Yumiko of course. So this will be a side series where Yumiko unfortunately keeps running into these insane people.
Please review, that'd be a great Christmas gift haha!
Enjoy and Merry Christmas.
Yumiko's Freaks And Creeps - 1
Is has been a while, since Miura Yumiko had experienced that awful encounter in the warehouse. The Huntsman rescued her then and she will never forget it.
It took some time for her to figure out who the Dark Knight of Chiba really was.
These events through her second year in high school really opened her eyes. Not to say she was darkened in the heart like Hachiman, but she was a better person than a hoity and naïve girl whose mind was only on hot boys like Hayama Hayato and being popular.
Nearly two years had passed since she had encountered the Huntsman or rather Hachiman since she started her second year in high school. Selected by another teacher in Sobu High, she was going to assist in a middle-school spring camp program like the previous year, along with Hina Ebina, Kawasaki Saki, Totsuka Saika and Tobe Kakeru.
Yumiko was back at the Chiba Village again, it made her remember how she blew up at Yukino and took off into the forest. Where she had a talk with Hachiman, before then she would not even think that she could relate to him.
For the rest of the day, Yumiko along with the others had done their part keeping the middle school students safe while they participated in the program. The evening soon arrived, and the middle school students were in their bunks the rest for the night.
The high school volunteers were at the picnic table, seated together with a deck of poker cards. The players were Saki, Saika, Kakeru and Yumiko, each gambling a thousand yen. Ebina sat next to Kakeru watching the Hold' Em Poker game unfold.
And poker night began.
Saki dealt out the cards, Kakeru and Yumiko gave the small and big blind, ten and twenty yen respectively. Each had two cards their hands, and the first round started. Saika took a look at his cards, his uncontrolled sulk showed the unpromising odds. Saki's face kept the same. Kakeru took a peek at his cards and raised an eyebrow.
"I call." Saika called twenty yen, Saki followed. Kakeru put ten yen into the pot, and Yumiko checked.
Saki dealt out the flop. A ten of hearts, and two queens of diamonds and spades. Saika had a look of worry, no one taught him the concept of a poker face.
"I uh check." He said leading to Saki's turn.
Saki checked, tapping the table twice. Kakeru had a smirk at the corner of his mouth.
"Betting a two hundred." Kakeru placed said amount into the pot. Yumiko called, placing the same amount. Saika's eyes saddened his jaw slowly dropped, black negative aura seemed to surround him.
"Uguu…I-I…uh…I fold." Saika set his cards away, head hanging low.
"I call." Saki said still sounding calm and she placed the next card, a five of hearts. Yumiko checked, tapping two fingers on the table, and Saki did the same.
The smirk Kakeru started to grow, and he placed three hundred yen into the pot, Yumiko called placing three hundred yen too.
Saki was giving a glare at Kakeru, her narrowed eyes trained on him. Kakaeru returned the glare with a smile as if to bait her. The soul of a viper could have been seen behind that glare from Saki, but it did not help with anything.
Saki closed her eyes and let out a sigh, she placed her cards away. "Fold."
Saki placed down the last card, a three of hearts. Everyone eyed the river, a ten of hearts, two queens of diamonds and spades, a five of hearts and a three of hearts.
Yumiko checked.
"All in." Kakeru said without hesitation, placing his remaining yen into the pot. Saika and Ebina were gasping with anticipation, Kakeru bit his lip eye balling Yumiko.
Yumiko on her part did not move an inch of muscle on her face, her eyes had a firm gaze and her jaw stiff. A page she had taken from the Huntsman. She placed the rest of her money into the pot.
"Alright, here comes the money." Kakeru said with glee, showing his cards. Two fives of diamond and clubs. Three fives and a pair of queens, full house.
"Ohhh." Saika and Ebina awed.
Yumiko still stern as stone eyed Kakeru's cards.
"Well?" Kakeru raised his eyebrows. Yumiko elegantly flipped her cards, everyone saw and Kakeru's eyes bulged out. A pair of queens of hearts and clubs, along with the queens of diamonds and spades.
Four queens for the Fire Queen. The high hand.
"Thank you very much Tobe." Yumiko said, taking the entire pot.
"Ahhh! What?! Come on! You kidding me?!" Kakeru pulled his hair. "No way! Oh my god, my money!"
"Wow Miura, well played." Saika smiled with shiny teeth.
Yumiko could not help feeling good about herself, being a thousand yen richer. But compassion still had its place. "Don't worry Tobe, I'll buy you a soda later."
Night has fallen and it was near midnight. In the girls' bunk, Saki and Ebina were in their nightclothes ready for bed. But not Yumiko, she was wearing a pair of spats sports shorts, a white t-shirt with a black hoodie, and white sneakers.
She stepped outside and trekked away from the campsite. She wanted to have a nice walk in the woods, to enjoy the full moon with the night breeze.
She ventured further in, tying her hair in a ponytail. And deeper into the woods she went in, the full moon was a sight she could enjoy. The sound of small screeching in the trees got her attention, with the dim light of the moon, she could make out the silhouettes in the trees.
"Bats. Heh." Yumiko breathed out, seeing the bats flying about in the trees around her was endearing for Yumiko. She pulled out her phone, but there was no reception so it had no use for the moment.
Complete silence, being all alone. It was nice for Yumiko, to rejuvenate and just enjoy a small time for yourself. Perhaps years ago she would have spat in disgust by the very idea of it, but not anymore.
"Hmm, bats. Flying in the night in the dark. What? You have some affinity towards them Hikio?" Yumiko jabbed at him in her mind. "Hmm, I wonder how is that hunting trip he's on is like?"
Turning her attention further into the woods however, something caught her attention. A number of orange light sources, like they were torches.
"What the?" Yumiko squinted her eyes in suspicion. Something was aching in her muscles to check out what it was. If a suspicious activity was happening she wanted to know what it was, and maybe she can do something about it.
She curled her biceps to ease the restlessness in them and kicked off in a jog. Her footsteps were silent and shadowy and she got closer to the source of light in the forest.
"It's not too far out in the forest, the village is somewhere around." Yumiko deduced, sneaking closer.
Nearing to the source of suspicion, now she could see what it was. And even more questions were raised.
"Hah?" She whispered, the hairs on the back of her neck stood in discomfort by the sight.
What was ahead of her, were a group of people holding torches, and they were wearing white cloaks with hoods and a fireball emblem on the chest. They all cheered indistinctly. One in the middle had a black cloak standing out in the crowd.
And they surrounded a large wooden cross, and something was nailed to it. It looked like a human-sized doll made of straw, painted in black with red eyes. It was wearing a black and red hooded cape.
"Who the hell are these creeps? Gross." Yumiko hissed and shuddered, standing amongst the bushes behind them.
The white cloaks continued to cheer.
"Settle down now." The one in black the ringleader said in a grand preaching voice. Yumiko could point out his voice sounded like it belonged to an aging man. The crowd was reducing the volume. "Settle down now. Settle down brothers and sisters, because we gathered today for a very important occasion."
The white cloaks nodded and mumbled in agreement. The one in black continued, "We are in a delicate time and we must be ready. It is imperative that we- Why hello there dear child."
Eyes were now trained on Yumiko, and she stood frozen and white.
"Aieee?!" Yumiko shrilled in her mind.
"Are you lost, child? Come, do not be shy." The one black said welcoming her. "Join us and bear witness. You have a divine blessing finding us."
"Yes girl, listen to the Supreme Wizard. Join us." One white cloak, a male, said.
"Bear witness?! Supreme Wizard?! Divine blessing?! Ewww gross!" Yumiko thought. Goosebumps were in every part of Yumiko's body. "Shit I can't just run away they'll chase after me. If I can just play along long enough, maybe I can figure out what's going on."
Yumiko nervously stepped out and stood at the edge of the crowd of white cloaks. Her heart hammered. A schoolgirl standing among these freaks and creeps.
"And what is with the outfit?! Gross! I mean I get cosplay, cosplay is for fun. Huntsman's outfit is legit scary. But this?! These robes?! This is stupid!"
"If you're going to watch keep it quiet while the supreme wizard talks." The white cloak next to her said. Yumiko could only dumbly nod and remained silent.
"Pleasantries and formalities can wait for later dear child, but right now be in awe with our sacred cause." The 'Supreme Wizard' in his grand voice preached on. "As I have said a moment ago, we are in a delicate time and we must be ready. Hear me, my dear children, evil is real!"
Jeers from the white cloaks came right after that, Yumiko stood there creeped out and confused.
The Supreme Wizard then said, "Curses are real! The devil is real!" He pointed at the black cladded straw doll nailed to the cross. "The devil rose from the bowels of hell and into the city, feasting on the innocents! And the fools in the city proclaimed the devil to be a hero?! Heresy, corruption, destruction from the devil beyond measure!"
Yumiko studied the crucified straw doll, the hooded black cape, the red and black paint, and the red eyes. Her chest felt hollow.
"It's Huntsman….Hikio…"
The Supreme Wizard went on, "Do not wither in fear, that's what the devil wants. We must stay strong together in a fiery light, in a beacon of light fire. Lightfire!"
"Lightfire!" The rest cheered in unison.
"Is this for real?" Yumiko cringed inside, she wished she had never stepped out of the girls' bunk.
"We will destroy this devil and burn him in holy light fire! And today we grow one stronger, as we anoint a new brother into our great cause." The Supreme Wizard said. "Please step forward and kneel."
A new eager Lightfire member stood forward from the crowd and knelt before the Supreme Wizard.
"Do you choose to accept the fiery light?" He asked the eager member.
"Yes sir." The member responded, he was handed a torch and went for the cross.
"Let the light shine bright! Lightfire!" The new eager member lit up the cross with the torch, the fire spread all over the cross and the members of Lightfire cheered.
Yumiko continued to stand there frozen. But seeing the doll representing Huntsman go up in flames? That set her off wrong.
The newly anointed member was none the wiser when his cloak got too close to the flames and lit up, the fire spread quickly in his cloak. The fire started to enclose around him fast and he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Yumiko brought a hand to her mouth, watching the bonfire in front of her. She was fighting back the sensation in her core. As much as she wanted to rush in to save the guy she was too late, there was no way to put out the flames, and she would catch fire as well.
"Oh shit! He's on fire! He's right on fire!" The other members shouted in panic, all of them scattered in every direction fleeing the scene. The new member screaming out fell on the ground and rolled, the flames were finishing him very quickly and his screams slowly ceased.
"Wait! Somebody wait! Wait!" The Supreme Wizard shouted to the fleeing members of Lightfire. "Where you all going?! Come back! Come baaack….shit…"
Yumiko took her hand away from her mouth, she breathed hard with her fists clenched by her sides. As horrible the sight may be, this was not the first dead body she had seen.
"You there!" The Supreme Wizard glared at Yumiko, storming her way. "You just stood and watched a good man die. And did nothing?"
Yumiko had her guard up, but he went past her as if not wanting her presence anymore. He was about to head into the woods from where he came.
She would not take that remark from some freak, she sassed back with a hand on her hip. "Hah?! What did you expect me to do? You did not do anything either! You creep, gross."
The Supreme Wizard turned to her. "You petty small-minded fool."
"And you shut up about Huntsman! You don't know anything about him. He saved my life and many others." Yumiko raised her voice at him again. From above, bats were starting to gather over Yumiko.
"Huntsman? You name the devil Huntsman?! You are corruption personified." The Supreme Wizard started to tower over her.
But Yumiko did not back down she pointed at his face, "And you are going to jail once the authorities finds out about all this!"
Now the Supreme Wizard was raging, he pulled a hand back. "You dirty son of a bitch! I'll show you!"
Yumiko's self-defense skills came out of her. The Supreme Wizard's arm sprung out to slap Yumiko down, but Yumiko was quick enough to duck her head. She thrust both her palms out, delivering hard palm strikes on the Supreme Wizard's chest.
The aging man stumbled back in pain, Yumiko reached for his face pulling that mask out. Now his face was revealed, it was an aging man as she expected, probably senile.
In a form of rally, the bats high above were descending down to swarm right over Yumiko's head. The Supreme Wizard rushed for her again.
"Hellfire!" He spat at her throwing a fist. Yumiko pulled her head back dodging the hit. Yumiko being the faster of the two, shot her leg up and right to his chin.
The hit sent him in a daze, he tumbled backward and fell hitting his head on the ground knocking him out.
"You crazy old bastard." Yumiko leered. The bats continued to swarm around her. Accessing the scene around her, she concluded there was nothing more she could do for the place. She had to leave to report this.
After taking a photo of the Supreme Wizard's face with her phone, she sprinted back for camp.
"This is without a doubt the craziest thing I have seen in my entire life. All those freaks and creeps, so gross! Why am I surrounded by freaks?!" Yumiko ranted in her mind, she almost considered Hikio a freak as well, but maybe in a good way.
Regardless she picked up the pace in her sprint back to camp. She has had enough of freaks and creeps for one night.
So yeah, this scene is unashamedly inspired by the game 'Red Dead Redemption 2', where you meet the Ku Klux Klan.
It's almost as if Yumiko's having her own Rogues Gallery, oh my god it is so outrageous.
