[UPDATED CUZ EDIT AT THE END]
¡REVIEWS!
Q: Inventory?
A: Well, for now, I don't believe an inventory to be a necessary thing, after all, MC doesn't really know that an apocalypse is coming and the most she carries with her is her school bag and phone.
No drops in a game-like manner make inventory stuff useless.
Q: THANK YOU FOR THE CHAPTER / WRITING / MAKING THIS FIC
A: NO PERSON READER, THANK YOU FOR READING IT! I LOVE YOU!
Q: pretty sure they wouldn't let someone with personal ties to a case interrogate the suspect/apprehended
A: Yeah, you're right about that but sometimes I forget the rest of the world doesn't have a shitty justice system like my shithole country lmao.
Q: female(strap on) on futa?
A: No, I think I'll stick to the MC being a Dom the whole way through.
Q: *cabreado review*
A: Gracias por leer! No tengo muchos lectores en español por el hecho de que es un fic en ingles pero me sorprende que igualmente existan! Como le hacen para leerlo por cierto? Porque cuando intenté usar la app de Fanfiction la traducción fue terrible xD
Q: Since V is from a cyberpunk universe does she have cool gadgets?
A: She will get implants soon enough, probably to a maximum of like 6.
Q: *SirSaulty1995 reviews*(really friggin long so you can skip this one if you want)
A: First of all, thank you for reviewing my shitty fanfic.
You're literally one of the first inspirations that I had when I decided to try and write fanfics and I've been reading your stuff for years sometimes re-reading stuff that I really liked especially your Familiar of Zero RTS style fic which inspired me to make a similar one which I, unfortunately, lost all the word archives for.
"Hmm? Must be all smut and little plot, as well as a system too?" Believe it or not, that was what I was going for at the beginning, then I wrote 4 chapters and realized "Damn the fucking story is still on the first day!" I thought to either delete everything or rush it but in the paraphrased words of James Cameron "I want to see it, so therefore, there must be people out there that also want to see it not for it's purpose but for itself."
Harem stuff is still a WIP although it will be teased, I still don't know how I will handle it, to be honest. I could either be serious about it and have a whole teen drama about it or throw drama completely out of the ship and put a skill that makes it so girls are okay with the harem which to me makes it a little like taking the easy road.
A possible harem, for now, is Rei, Saeko, Yuuki Miku, and probably something with the besties. Why all the school girls? Well, it's easier for a student to approach another student in a flirty manner than a student approaching an adult woman who has years of experience and knows that there are consequences for dating students. So any adults like Shizuka or Kyoko will probably happen after the outbreak but there might be some relationship building beforehand.
"So potentially you can purchase skills belonging to any martial artist prodigy as well as gunplay and discipline from any seasoned war veteran or John Wick himself."
Yup, that's what I was going for, something that on the surface is completely broken but when you look at how the small pieces fit together you realize that if you just inject 400 years of war experiences into your brain you're going to end up going crazy.
"I am no expert in martial arts so I wouldn't know what to recommend you, I've never been in a real fight myself. Hell, I wouldn't really rely on martial arts by the time the Zombie apocalypse hits."
Well, that honestly depends on the martial art. The best martial art in terms of personal defense without weapons is Combat Sambo, a Russian martial art developed with grappling, striking, and submissions in mind for war. Also depending on what the person wears such as brass knuckles or metal shin protectors you could easily kill undead with one punch(especially if you're Peak Human).
The obvious most effective martial art for weapons is any that teaches you how to properly utilize a knife, knives are the most practical and oldest weapon humans created, it was how cavemen used to kill each other.
"Nothing wrong with a bit of flashiness"
I'm trying to be flashy something but at the same time the logical part of my brain rejects it, maybe when there are implants involved I can start writing stuff like *teleports behind you* nothing personnel kid...
"You would consider the Cyberware as skills?"
The reason for this is that this is the gritty logical replacement of magic, like "Oh, I can make spinning mana arrows!" cool eat this fucking 40mm missile that I can shoot through the cybernetics in my arm.
Which Cyberware V is getting is going to remain a secret tho! Teehee!
"The downside of the Skill market (From what I've seen) is that you inherit their fighting instincts as well as a shit tonne of their blood/battlelust. For a moment I thought it was a lack of investment for COOL (which wasn't really the case) and that it was about the value of an average person not accustomed to stressful situations... but no, it turns out that V wasn't like that, at first... she just didn't read the product description (If there were any at all) like all of us at some point."
Yes, you see, when I was playing Cyberpunk I felt like the concept of Cyberpsychosis was awesome. Depending on your trauma you would have more or less resistance to Cyberware until the amount of chrome damaged your psyche. So I went "Hey! That's a good idea for a skill shop!" so yes, little spoiler but there's a reason the name of the character was in a different format than the rest of the skill(CLICK THE THINGS THAT LOOK CLICKABLE FOR GOD'S SAKE V!)
"Or maybe I just want to see V's encounter with Shido, which would be harder to do if he was arrested and imprisoned."
Shido is definitely not gone, I would like to remind readers the sad reality of the prison system is that the criminals there don't get rehabilitated but instead they get used like slaves for no money and then they get in contact with gangs and even worse criminals which just deepens their connections to the criminal underworld.
Shido will be back, even worse than before. I've got my fingers crossed for a little freaky deeky!
"Tokononosu city is no Night city, nowhere near as bad... but you could stir the pot a bit."
This was the best advice I've gotten related to this because, for a good few hours, I was like "Damn, I feel like something's missing." lo' and behold comes my savior with a review! I thought about it in passing before but now I can tell you I'm going to add a few of your recommendations. Companies might be a little bit much because a company is much bigger than just a local Yakuza clan or something like that but maybe corrupt businesses that collude with gangs and mafias will be added.
"Gives us a perspective on how bad Rei and her family's Japanese - English pronunciations are XD"
Even the Japanese people who know a bit of English have a hard time pronouncing it because of how completely different pronunciation in Japanese is to English lmao
Happened to me the first time I was trying to learn English as a Spanish native xD
"Better wake the fuck up, Samurai!"
You said it!
Enjoy the chapter!
BEEP BEEP BEEP
A rhythmic electronic sound reverberated inside my brain, It felt familiar.
I had been here before, I knew that for a fact.
"Valerie..."
I opened my eyes and saw him, old and tired lying down on the hospital bed.
"Yeah?"
My mouth moved and spoke before I could think, for some reason the words I wanted to speak got stuck in my throat.
"Don't do what I did... If you give your life to this city, all you'll get back is pain..."
I listened to the man speaks, his tone rusted and gravelly as he seemed to be making a great effort to just get out a few words.
"All that fame... All my life is given to a cause in which I didn't even believe... And now here I am... Dying not in... blazes of glory, but in a bed... No one to see me go except the only person I can call my friend... My only friend..."
I walked over to him and sat down next to his bed, I put my hand over his.
"Valerie... Promise me something..."
I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but regret and sadness.
"What is it, uncle?"
"You'll leave this city... Please, promise me..."
I closed my eyes, I felt the weight of the world filling my lungs as a knot formed in my throat.
I swallowed harshly my emotions.
"Okay..."
A warm smile formed on the old man's face.
"Thank you..."
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
The sound of someone knocking at the door took me out of my thoughts, I looked at Johnny and he smirked.
"I think... It's for you..."
I looked at him not understanding what he meant, nonetheless, I went to the entrance of the room and grabbed the door handle.
Over my shoulder, I heard the sick man chuckle as he coughed.
"Remember V... smoking kills..."
With a twist on the handle, I opened the door.
"Wake the fuck up, Samurai..."
Antiseptic smell, a cold and dry room, and an uncomfortable bed.
I slowly cracked open my eyes as the light blinded me, it took my eyes a few seconds for it to get accustomed to the new level of luminosity that filled the room.
After some time, I could see again.
Little by little the memories of what happened before came to me and I had a singular emotion inside at the moment, embarrassment.
I gave a heart-wrenching dying speech just to wake up the next day, how uncool is that?
I took a deep breath and let out a sigh slowly, turning my hands away from the light I took a look at my hand which felt a tad tingly at the moment.
Observing the bandaged appendage I couldn't help but think it kind of looked like that one SpongeBob episode where Squidward is bandaged from head to toe, weird observation aside it probably wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Remembering the fight made chills go down my spine, I wasn't sure I would be able to perform acts of such violence but when the moment presented itself I acted on instinct.
The pain, it hurt so badly but as soon as I felt it some type of switch was flipped and it became pleasure.
When I got stabbed I genuinely thought I might die from how good it felt, heroin and cocaine are probably soft drugs compared to the high I got from that pain.
Maybe Saeko could help with this too, food for thought.
Seeing there was no one coming when I woke up, I sat up on the bed.
"Guh-!"
It took a little strain for me to sit up properly but I managed, I still checked the bandages to see if my wound opened.
Thankfully for me, it didn't.
A blinking red light on the corner of my eye let me know I had some notifications to check since I didn't have much to do at the moment I opened them.
【Rei Miyamoto's Affection has risen by 50 points!】

I traversed through the menus and found the skill I just got.
「Compassion For The Weak 【Unique—Iconic】」
"Even though I'm so weak, she still threw herself in front of danger for me... Someday, I wish to return those feelings..."
The perception and final realization of 「Rei Miyamoto」about the user
~When helping those who are weaker than the user a bonus or boost will be given to the user and the weakling that would help them reach the goal desired~
Huh, this seems broken.
Will I get some type of reward every time I fill the affection of a girl?
I didn't really take time to think about this because of the hurry I was in but, if that's so then I'm basically being forced to be a whore!
Or is that just me trying to justify all the hot girls I want to bang?
Damn, I really need to put "stop thinking with your dick" at top of the to-do list.
I stood up with my IV bag on a metal pole with wheels next to me, I disconnected some pads that were attached to my tits and stomach as I stood up.
Walking over to the room's bathroom I entered and saw myself in the mirror.
My nose was bandaged as well as my left cheek and the top of my head.
Other than that, I'm pretty much fine.
Well, ignoring the obvious stab wounds I had on my body.
I looked at the toilet and I realized that I felt like I hadn't pissed in a bit, thankfully these hospital gowns were easy to piss in.
Moving the gown slightly I took my fat cock and tried my best to point with the thing at the bowl.
PSSSSSSHHH
"Ha~ Now this is life..."
BANG
The sound of a door slamming could be heard as hurried steps following it.
"Miss Miyamoto hold on!"
BANG
The bathroom door slammed open.
"V!"
I looked at Rei and Rei looked at me, I then looked down and the brown-haired girl followed my gaze.
PSSSSSSHHHH
I looked up again and into Rei's eyes.
"Um, occupied?"
An atomic blush appeared on Rei's face as she saw the brutal object between my legs.
"I-I'm sorry!"
The shorter girl quickly closed the bathroom door in her embarrassment, meanwhile, I continued pissing while chuckling slightly to myself.
Damn, I should have checked her thoughts, that would've been funny.
After a few minutes of me finishing up and shaking the python out of any remaining fluids, I went out of the room just to see Rei sitting next to the bed.
"V..."
As soon as we locked eyes she threw herself at me and hugged me, were I a lesser woman I probably would've fallen over but with my almost maxed out 「Body」attribute ain't no way a cute high school girl is pushing me down.
"There, there..."
I placed my hand on top of Rei's head and stroked it, the hug got tighter as I could feel her trembling.
A few minutes passed and Rei finally relented the hug, I had expected to see tear stains on her face but surprisingly she held them back and smiled at me.
"Somehow it seems like you've grown while I was napping."
To those words, the shorter girl chuckled and nodded.
"Of course, not everyone has the chance to just sleep all day for a week."
I gasped as I came to a realization.
"A week?! That's so much fucking homework I have to do now!"
Rei stared at me for a few seconds before she laughed, holding her stomach she threw her head back and genuinely gave a belly laugh.
"Oh yeah put the salt in the wound why don't you? Your poor cousin is going to have to do a whole week of homework and you find it funny."
The brown-haired girl wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and then stared at me with a big smile.
"I missed you."
Damn, she's so cute.
I couldn't help myself and smile back at her.
"I would say "me too" but I was sleeping the whole time."
Rei rolled her eyes but the smile never left her face.
"You really have to ruin every single nice moment we have, don't you?"
"Of course! Being older means I get to be an ass and not be hated for it!"
"That doesn't even make sense!"
"Ha! Young 'uns could never get it!"
"Forget missing you, go back to sleep, you're exhausting me already loser."
I held my heart as an expression of pure pain appeared on my face, spinning three times I fell unto the bed.
"Oh no... Because my little cousin was so mean to me I'm dying... Again..."
I opened one of my eyes and saw Rei shake her head as she smiled.
"You're something else..."
I smiled back and sat up on the bed, a sharp pain shocked me through my side as I did.
"GUH-!"
"V!"
Rei quickly hurried to my side and held onto my arm as support, the smile on her face quickly turned into a worried frown.
"I'm okay, just some mosquito bites."
The worried expression didn't leave Rei's face as she looked into my eyes, turning her eyes away she grabbed my hand and held it.
"Thank you..."
I didn't speak at her words, I knew where this was going so I stayed silent until she finished.
"If it weren't for you, I-I don't know what would have happened to me..."
The tears that she was holding back now appeared as they slowly dripped from her pretty face.
"You didn't even need to go that far... You could've just called mom and waited... But you didn't..."
I grasped her hand delicately and rubbed it.
"I just couldn't handle the thought of bad things happening to you when I could've done something about it. "
Rei looked up and I could see her eyes shine as the tears flowed from them, it was a mesmerizing sight.
"You couldn't live with yourself, right? That's what mom told me you said to her before sprinting off..."
I nodded at the words which only made the number of tears increase.
"Idiot..."
"Yeah, I know."
Coming closer to me Rei pushed her lips against mine, it wasn't hot or sexy.
Neither was it good nor was it bad.
It was a pure gesture from a girl that had just fallen in love for the first time, a sweet girl that couldn't put her feelings into words so she took action instead.
Rei broke the kiss and smiled.
"You taste like a loser..."
I lightly touched my lips, this wasn't my first kiss but for some reason, it felt like it was the first time I had been truly kissed.
It wasn't some type of foreplay to a one-night stand or a heat-of-the-moment situation, it was a gesture of romantic feelings put into action.
I could feel my face heat up and my brain becoming empty, I was like a fish out of the water right now.
The sound of Rei's giggles took me out of my thoughts as I looked at her, a blush spread across her face as well as a smile planted on her face.
"It seems like even the big bad V can get embarrassed."
"Ah."
That was the only sound to come out of my mouth at the moment.
Rei suddenly stood up and began to walk to the door, before going out she turned around.
"I promised a kiss, didn't I? I'm a girl of my word."
I blinked a few times, she was trying too hard to make it seem like it was nothing.
"Did you get embarrassed and are running away?"
The thoughts escaped my mouth and I saw Rei's smile twitch.
Then her lip started to tremble and she rubbed her hands against each other, out of nowhere she took out her phone, opened it, and closed it quickly.
"Oh geez look at the hour visiting time is over, well gotta go! I'll bring you your homework later! Bye!"
Like a professional sprinter Rei ran out of the room before I could say anything else, a smile appeared on my face.
That girl is too cute.
【Kissing: 3100】
【3100SP Awarded!】
"Are you sure you're good to go, honey?"
Kiriko stood next to me looking worried as observed the appendage wrapped in a sling and bandages.
"It's better than staying at home accumulating more work."
The frown on the shorter woman's face was cute but also unnecessary, I was almost a peak human specimen I would take half of the time to actually heal most of this damage.
"The doctor said you should rest at least another week more."
I smiled at her, the worry was appreciated but at the same time, I wish I could make her understand I'll be fine.
"Kiriko, thank you but if I don't stand up from my bed in two weeks I'll waste away. Just trust me on this one."
The shorter woman grumbled a bit but finally relented, she gave me my school bag.
"Take care, okay?"
In a very cool way, I threw the schoolbag over my shoulder and winked back.
"I will, beautiful lady."
I saw Kiriko smile as she waved at me, coming out of the house I saw Rei waiting for me.
"You look like a dork."
"Gah-! I thought having your bag over your shoulder was cool!"
"Yeah, in animes twenty years ago."
God damn kids and their disdain for cool older stuff!
I sighed and Rei chuckled, together we began walking towards the school.
The brown-haired girl next to me smiled every time I looked at her like a cute puppy.
"Hand."
I stuck out my hand and Rei gave me hers.
Wow, she really is a puppy!
"I feel like you're thinking something weird right now."
How did she know?!
"Just your imagination."
"Mhm."
While we were walking I noticed more people looking at me than usual, I looked at Rei who also noticed this but just shrugged.
Eventually we each took different ways into our respective classrooms and said our goodbyes.
When entering the classroom I suddenly had the attention of the entire class, and out of nowhere, people started to clap.
"Hey-What-Who-?!"
Confusion hit me hard as I looked around embarrassed and flabbergasted.
"Reon-san! You're amazing!"
"Yeah! Like a manga protagonist!"
Holy shit this is so embarrassing, I think I prefer getting stabbed again to this.
I rubbed the back of my head with my free hand as I nodded at people and said "Thank you" a few times, after a while people calmed down and I took a seat next to Saeko.
I looked at her and she gave a charming smile.
"Seems like someone became the local hero."
I sighed.
"I just did something stupid and impulsive, luck was on my part and it ended better than it could have gone otherwise."
The purple-haired girl kept a smile on her face as she closed her eyes in acknowledgment.
"It was still a pretty selfless act, I think it's admirable."
I couldn't help but blush at the number of compliments I've received today, I was a lone unapproachable dude previously so this type of attention made me a bit uncomfortable.
"Thanks..."
The door of the class opened and the homeroom teacher entered.
"On your seats everyone! The bell has already rung!"
Another day of class, maybe I'll actually pay attention this time.
I opened my phone and read an email I got from Rei.
'Sorry, I have some stuff to do! I'll meet you at home later!'
I sighed and struck a pose that made me look mysterious and thoughtful.
"It seems like the wolf will walk alone again under this moonlight..."
Saeko next to me chuckled.
"How do you come up with those types of sentences?"
I shrugged with a smile.
"I'm very gifted."
The purple-haired girl smiled and stood up to pack her stuff, I did the same as I looked at her.
"You got any plans for today?"
Saeko shook her head while putting her books into her bag.
"The club went out to party after a tournament and they all ate bad food, about 90% of them are sick so the club is suspended until they get better."
"Can't you teach the remaining 10%?"
Saeko smiled.
"Kendo is taught better in pairs and with people who are equal to you in skill, right now the one's not sick are a few freshmen and a senior. The skill gap is too big for them to learn anything from each other. "
"Huh, looks like Kendo is more than just going "Hiyah!" and moving the stick around."
Saeko threw a half-hearted glare my way and I smirked, the glare quickly turned into a teasing smile as she finished packing.
"At least we don't need the opponent to be wearing a jacket just to beat them."
"Now that's just mean."
Grabbing my bag I walked alongside Saeko through the school as she asked me a bit of detail about what happened, being a good sport about it I answered her as best as I could.
"You broke his wrist?"
"Yeah, it was very instinctual. I just kinda went pam and then crunch, you know?"
I made the motions along with my explanation which in turn got a giggle out of the purple-haired girl, realizing this might be as good of a time as ever I asked.
"Saeko, do you think you can help me?"
The girl's face quickly turned serious as soon as she heard me.
"Is this about your bloodlust?"
I nodded.
"That and something else."
Saeko tilted her head in confusion.
"Well, during the fight I realized that I - umm- I felt pleasure from pain? But not like in a kinky way but more of like an "I just injected heroin into my bloodstream" kind of way, you know?"
The purple-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, an expression of contemplation washed over her face before she nodded.
"I see, I'm not sure about what that could be but don't worry. I'll help you in any way I can, after all, we're more alike than you imagine."
The last part of the sentence had some hidden meaning behind it that I didn't quite catch, for the moment though, I didn't need to.
I'm sure that Saeko would slowly open up to me.
"Let's go to my house."
"Oka- Wait! Isn't our relationship progressing too fast?!"
Saeko giggled at me but I was genuinely surprised she asked me to go to her house out of nowhere, she tapped the top of my head with her kendo sword which she carried in a specialized bag.
"The sooner we start with mediation the better. I can't have you going around trying to grab and have your way with innocent people now, can I?"
People looked over at me as they heard what Saeko said and implied.
"H-Hey! Stop that! Don't make it sound like I'm a soon-to-be sexual predator!"
The purple-haired girl gave a devilishly adorable giggle as she covered her mouth.
"Geez... You're so mean to me-"
As we came out of the school into the entrance gate we were suddenly surrounded by 3 buff men in the school's uniform.
"Are you Reon-san?"
The one in front of them was almost as tall as me, he definitely weighed at least 30kg more too.
I stood in front of Saeko and stuck out my chest.
"Who's asking?"
The man's hand went for my collar, slow.
Too slow.
As the man went for the grab I quickly grabbed the uniform's wrist part and weaved myself to a better position, instantly the man tried countering but I was faster, as he grabbed my jacket I quickly tripped him with my leg.
The man hit the floor softly and hit it with an open palm, he knew how to take a fall.
I raised my fist and as I was about to strike a delicate hand stopped me in my tracks, I looked up and saw Saeko looking at me with a soft expression saying that it was enough.
The man under me looked at me with an expression of awe, and out of nowhere, manly tears started flowing down his face.
"So it was true..."
"Huh?!"
The other two members suddenly went into a dogeza as they screamed.
"REON-SAMA PLEASE JOIN THE JUDO CLUB!"
The man under me quickly joined them as the tears didn't stop.
"Reon-sama! This Masakado Hachimaru wishes to invite you to our humble Judo club! Please, accept!"
I saw a dozen students looking in my direction and I did the only obvious option at the moment.
"Saeko, let's go."
I pretended nothing happened and ignored it.
The purple-haired girl gave a teasing smile as she walked next to me.
"Of course, Reon-sama."
"Shut up..."
Continuing our way we exited the school, this a problem for tomorrow's Valerie after all.
"Please take off your shoes before entering."
I followed Saeko's request and took off my boots.
"Follow me."
I walked behind the girl through the traditional Japanese home, every now and then going "ooh" and "aaah" at the architecture of the place.
Come on, I might have been a basic-level weeb but I was a weeb nonetheless.
Looking at this kind of stuff was only available through YouTube for me after all, trips and costs to a country like Japan were way out of my budget no matter how much I saved.
Eventually, we reached a Dojo with kanji I didn't understand hanging on the walls.
"So, what are we gonna do? Some breathing exercise type stuff or something?"
Saeko smiled and I could see a glint in her eye.
"Not quite."
As she reached one end of the Dojo she took a bokken that was being displayed and gripped it tightly.
"To know what we have to fix we first need to discover what is broken."
The words somehow managed to send a chill down my spine as I could feel a bead of cold sweat sliding down my back.
"Kinda harsh to call it broken, don't you think?"
My seemingly innocent joke managed to get a sad expression to wash over Saeko's face.
"That is life, people who are different are the ones that get highlighted by society in a negative way. It is up to us what we want to do, fit in or become irregularities."
Standing in a Kendo stance she looked at me with an almost predatory expression showing, in an instinctive manner I stood in my Judo stance with my both my hands open and diagonal foot positioning almost like a boxer.
"Hey, you're not going to go easy on me?"
Saeko smiled.
"You don't need me to go easy."
Before I could speak up again, the purple-haired girl dashed at me.
I slipped the front stab to my head by moving diagonally, not missing the chance I went to grab the clothes of the girl but I hit air as Saeko had already taken some distance.
"I saw it before but you truly are fast, V-san."
I grinned.
"What can I say? Some of us are very gifted in more ways than others."
I finished the sentence with a wink and I could see Saeko blush at the implication, so she was still a girl who could get all red like that.
"Enough chit-chat."
The swordswoman slashed downwards at me with her bokken but I was able to move away and dodge the impact by mere centimeters, seeing the opportunity I quickly took it and managed to grab Saeko's collar.
It's done.
Or at least that was what I thought, I could feel the pain emanating from my jaw as I was forced to one knee, the world suddenly twisting and turning around me.
"While your reflexes are spectacular you don't seem to possess a battle sense, you don't perceive the strikes you don't see and therefore you're vulnerable to them. Today is going to be very enlightening for you, V-san."
I could see a twisted smile on Saeko's face as I stood up again, I smiled back as I felt the pain turn into pleasure.
"It would be my pleasure to get taught by you, Saeko~"
I threw myself at her without caution, this time instead of dodging I let myself get hit by the downward strike, I felt the pain immediately but it quickly became a pleasure and I ignored it.
Saeko's expression said she was surprised by what I did, taking advantage I quickly grabbed the wooden sword and the girl's collar.
In a fluid motion, I took three steps and lifted her up with the combination of my leg which went between her legs and my upper body which pulled her forward and to the ground, without much effort the girl was thrown onto the Dojo's hard floor.
Surprisingly she seemed to have some degree of knowledge on how to fall as she was able to lessen the blow, I could still see her breathing erratically as the air was forcefully driven out of her lungs.
I took a few steps back a smiled at her.
"One for one seems like we're equal."
Saeko's smile didn't falter as she stood up again, out of nowhere she decided to take off her skirt.
"Wha-!"
For a second I thought it was going to be a surprise tactic to catch me off guard, her slender yet well-built legs shined as the orange light of the sky hit them and I could see the black lingerie along the beautiful form of her ass as she bent over to place the skirt folded on the floor.
Saeko looked and me and blushed with intensity as she saw something poke out of my skirt.
"Is that..?"
Looking down I saw Captain Leon was ready for action, unfortunately, his attention was required at the moment.
I quickly dropped my stance and started to push the massive thing to the side so it would be less visible.
"Yeah, uh, I was born with it..."
"I see..."
Saeko gave a devilishly cute smile as she still stared between my legs, I was blushing too but I powered through it.
The purple-haired girl finally took her eyes off my cock and looked into my eyes, the blush no longer there but instead was a predatory look.
"I hope you're ready, V-san. The training wheels are off now."
I gulped in anticipation but my face smiled with joy.
"Show me a good time, Saeko~"
Rei Miyamoto was currently meeting with someone she had once considered special, someone she once thought about being in a relationship with but now he was nothing more than just another friend in her eyes.
Sitting down in the family restaurant near their home she waited for him to arrive, and after a few minutes he did.
Taking a seat in front of her, his expression was complex yet he opened his mouth to speak.
Before he could say anything Rei bowed her head.
"I'm sorry."
Surprise covered Komuro's face as he saw the action, for some reason a knot formed in his stomach.
"I went through something stressful and took out my anger on you, then I refused to apologize because I was ashamed of how I behaved and didn't want to take responsibility. So, I'm sorry Takashi-kun."
A few seconds passed and Takashi slowly processed the words he had heard, nodding his head he replied.
"I see, I'm sorry as well. For behaving how I did."
Rei smiled at the boy and he smiled back, extending out her hand her smile brightened.
"Friends?"
Takashi felt conflicted, that wasn't what he wanted.
Nonetheless, he took her hand and shook it, Rei's smile remained on her face as she laid back and sighed.
"That was way harder than expected..."
Komuro smiled at her.
"I thought I'd never see the day where you would apologize for something."
Rei glared at the boy.
"Geez, you make it seem like I'm an awful person."
Takashi shrugged, to this Rei pushed her tongue out in a disrespectful manner.
"Still a kid."
Rei smiled smugly.
"Don't care, didn't ask."
The brown-haired boy shook his head at the conversation feeling like finally, everything was back to normal, something still bothered him though.
"What made you apologize out of nowhere?"
Rei blushed and scratched her cheek with her index finger.
"Well, as you've probably already heard I went through some... hard stuff let's say."
Komuro nodded slowly not liking where the conversation was going.
"The person that saved me, I wish to be strong enough to stand by her side. I don't want to see her get hurt trying to protect the useless me, I-I want to be someone she can be proud to have by her side..."
Takashi's stomach churned as he heard those words, not knowing how else to react he kept nodding at her words.
Rei rubbed the back of her head with a blush.
"Hehe, that was embarrassing to say out loud."
"I see."
Rei took out her phone and checked the time, putting back into her skirt pocket she started to gather her stuff.
"It's getting late so I should probably go home now, I'll see you later at school, Takashi."
"W-Wait!"
In an almost desperate manner Takashi grabbed Rei by the wrist, Rei turned around but reflexively pulled her wrist away with anger.
The action left both Rei and Komuro surprised.
"S-Sorry, I'm not comfortable with just anyone touching me..."
"A-Ah, yeah... Sorry about that..."
"What did you want to say?"
Takashi's heart pounded like crazy in his throat, he needed to be decisive at least once in his life.
"D-Do you remember the promise we made back in kindergarten?"
To those words, Rei's eyebrows raised before a warm smile settled on her face.
"I do..."
Komuro smiled.
"Then-"
He was quickly interrupted by Rei who smiled and shook her head remembering.
"Thinking back I was pretty childish about it, I think if you had asked me out a few weeks ago I wouldn't have refused just because of that promise."
Just hearing those words made Komuro speak before he could think.
"What about now?"
Surprise marred the features of the girl, and a sad expression passed over her face.
"I'm sorry, I spent so long waiting for it. Now... I've moved on."
The boy's heart dropped as he looked at his hands unable to look the girl in the face.
"I see."
Rei's tone was the softest it's ever been, no annoyance or bother towards the boy was shown neither on her face nor voice.
It was a simple unfortunate situation in which she was trying to not hurt the boy, despite all the times she stayed awake and cried because he wouldn't remember the promise she couldn't help but pity him.
If she were in the same situation and that person was to reject her, she wouldn't want it to be in a harsh manner.
"I suggest you try to move on Takashi, I wouldn't want to lose your friendship..."
Komuro stayed quiet as a million thoughts of regret, anguish, and hatred went through his head.
"I'll see you later..."
Rei walked out of the restaurant leaving the form of the high school boy behind by himself, a feeling of anger and frustration boiling inside his stomach at himself for being so indecisive.
A darker part of himself also hates that person which Rei spoke so highly about, after all if it wasn't for her everything would be better.
With such thoughts storming in his mind, Takashi remained in that place for hours.
