2: First Impression
She was there when they were passing out the pamphlets. She saw how hard working they were in recruiting members for their team. She also saw how diligent they were practicing at the field. So, it was American football, huh. She had no problem with that.
The problem was, when the demon-looking guy used the evil-looking dog to chase around people and threaten them to do their bid, mostly to gather players to play the game.
And when that happened, as she was in the Disciplinary Committee, she would be the one to make a move to stop his action. Weirdly, none of the victims made any claim or report about that. They seemed scared and terrified at the mere mention of his name. Being a smart person, she concluded that Hiruma could hold something against them. From that, she understood that he was someone not to mess around with.
"I won't let him go next time!" Mamori said to her friend, Sara and Ako once as they were walking to the café.
"Aren't you scared of him?" asked Ako.
"Why should I be scared of him? In fact, he should be the one scared with that many atrocious activities at school. It is only a matter of time before he got caught and punished for his action," Mamori said with a determined look on her face.
A few days later, Mamori found bullet marks at the rooftop floor. She immediately knew who the culprit was. There was no one in this whole school other than him that could have done that. Who would be crazy enough to bring a vast arsenal of firearms other than Hiruma Yoichi?
'I got you!'
The next day, the Disciplinary Committee called him to their office. At that time, she wasn't present because she had to help her friend. But later, she heard he was released with just a warning and no punishment. When she asked the leader, he said that there was no proof of his wrongdoings. She didn't fail to notice that the leader answered her question with sweating face and shaking legs.
Since that day, Hiruma Yoichi became someone the Disciplinary Committee had given up on.
She considered confronting him face to face. When she made up her mind and went to the club house they used as their base, she was told they were in the middle of Spring Tournament.
When she saw him again at the school, she noticed the change in his aura. Sure, he was grinning as usual, but his slump back looked so sad. She didn't know how, but somehow she could see past his façade. She heard that the American Football team lost their first round, thus ending their dream to advance to the next round.
Upon knowing that, she didn't know what to feel, detest or pity?
Then, she decided, it was not the right time to confront him. At least, not yet. For a bit longer, she would let him be. She would forgive his vulgar action this time.
Omake 2: The Reason People Were Afraid to Talk
Mamori managed to track down one of the students who played in the game against Oujou High School last week.
"I know you were forced by Hiruma-kun. What did he do to you?" Mamori asked that guy with slanted eyes and black hair.
The guy opened his mouth to answer her question and made a mistake of looking at her back. His face paled immediately and he said, "N… Nothing. He'd done nothing! I… I volunteered!"
When Mamori followed the direction of his eyes, she swore she saw a silhouette of someone and she could sense a black evil aura of evilness.
The next day, she heard Hiruma was skipping school. It was a perfect chance to ask around again and get some evidences from his victims.
Strangely, even without the presence of Hiruma, the victims refused to talk. Somehow, they would end up running away as if scared for their life. The reason remained a mystery to Mamori to this date.
Cerberus' eyes glinted. He just detected the smell of betrayer. Holding a fork at one hand and a knife on the other, he ran on his two legs to the smell.
Musashi who saw that commented, "Am I the one who is confused whether that is a dog or a human? Or the dog is the one who is confused whether it is a dog or a human?"
