"Huh?! Aren't you the Kaizi who was tricked by Elle? ”

They stood in front of me, either impatiently or with an ugly playfulness. A slightly imaginative face, but I couldn't remember it at all, looked at me mockingly and said.

It seems that Ellie's meal just now was overturned by them, right? Forget it, it's no worse, I don't want to think about these boring things anymore.

"Bang"

Silently took a step forward and silently swung his fist. Then, he was already on the floor.

"Hey, hey, hey?!"

The other shouted again.

It's noisy.

Thinking of this thought, I hit him in the face with my headbutt. Then, he was no longer sound.

"."

There was another one that I had pressed my hand to the floor before I could even utter a complete sentence.

Anyway, the body is injured and heals quickly, so it's okay to fight a little fiercely, right?

"Who else."

I slapped the man on the floor and looked at the rabble with a calm expression.

The first fight will be scared, the second fight will be scared, and the third fight will be scared. In fact, whenever you fight, you will be afraid, but after fighting too much, people will be able to accept "fear".

Accept the fear, accept the fear, accept the fact that you are mediocre, and throw your fist. That's the difference between trying to live and living ordinarily, right? I don't understand.

"! Don't you have a relationship with Ellie?! The foul-mouthed thug cursed again.

"You still know that my mom and Elle have nothing to do with each other, do you have a crush on me? Or do you follow my ass obscenely all day long? ”

Kicking on the gangster's chest, the posture and distance of his flying out always feel very similar to the people in the anime.

Sure enough, there are still some gaps between my body and before, probably between the Himalayas and some trench.

"Hey!"

A crisp shout temporarily stopped the punch I was about to throw. Looking at the slightly familiar voice, the man with earrings walked out from behind the gangster, and asked with an itchy look:

"Do you want to be hunted down like that bitch?"

“。。。。”

I looked at the earring man speechlessly, but I didn't expect that he who was knocked to the floor with a punch from me last time still doesn't have a long memory.

I don't like fighting, but I'm sorry, I've been a little irritable lately, and I probably can't control my hands.

"What does it mean that Elle is hunted down? Aren't you afraid of being caught by Jc? ”

I took a step forward, grabbed the clothes on the earring man's chest, and looked at him with a frown.

"Hahaha! Who's afraid of JC? Anyway, if you catch it, you can get out soon! ”

The earring man laughed and broke my hand holding his clothes. Then he patted the non-existent dust on his chest, looked at me with contempt and said:

"Little Kaizi, you have been tricked by Ellie, and you still want to help her out? Are you cheap? ”

"Kaizi? Tricked by Ellie? ”

"Tell you what! That bitch doesn't even see you as a human being, you're just a pawn for her! If it weren't for my boss saying don't care about you, I would have ordered someone to hack you to death! ”

The earring man patted my cheek with his hand and said with an angry expression.

"Bang!"

Frowning, I grabbed the earring man's forehead and pressed him to the floor with all my might.

"Hey, where did Ellie use me as a pawn?"

Thinking about what Ellie had done, I felt like my head was a little messy. And the earring man whose head I held down was like a fish on a chopping board, constantly struggling, but it was useless, and I would not let go.

Originally, the earring man still had to scold for a while, but after being ravaged by me, he became more and more well-behaved.

"Humph! That Ellie said, you're just her thug brother! Originally, she thought that you would be at her mercy, but I didn't expect that after you found out that she didn't treat you as a human being, you actually wanted to mess with other big brothers and do it against her! So she provoked the entire senior year of high school, trying to find out who was digging her corner! Lao Tzu told you that if the boss hadn't seen that you still knew how to abandon the dark and turn to the light, he would have asked someone to beat you a long time ago! ”

The earring man crackled and said a bunch of words, and I was in a fog when I heard it. But I also probably understand what he wants to say.

That's me and Elle turned against each other, and I was ready to join the club in the third year of high school to fight Elle together. So I'm no longer a bad enemy in the school, maybe it's still the younger brother who follows the big brother, and he is their comrade-in-arms.

"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"

I paused for a moment. When did I abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Or when did I run into the shadows? It's dark if it's mixed with these bad guys, right?

"! Don't you let go of Lao Tzu?! ”

The man with the earrings I pressed to the ground scolded again, and I glanced at him, and naturally slapped him again. To be honest, it's good if I can't control it and break him, after all, I haven't avenged him enough for kicking me before.

"Hmm!"

The man with the earrings I slapped covered his mouth, and instantly stopped making a sound, just curled up obediently on the floor.

Standing up and looking at the other thugs who had not dared to move, I had no intention of "taking care" of them again. After listening to the earring man's words, my previous anger gradually subsided.

"Ellie."

Muttering to myself, I looked towards the house where Ellie was staying. The dark aisle without light is like a gluttonous mouth devouring light, swallowing up all the light.

And Ellie, who is so dazzling in my eyes, lives in such a place.

"Why do you want to do such a thing?"

With this incomprehensible doubt, I sighed slowly and walked in the direction of home.

Is it any good for her to say that I am at odds with her? Is it just a wish to ruin my reputation?

No.. Fame or something, I don't have it at all, do I? And it's not good for her to say bad things about me. Instead, she fell into an even more lonely situation.

I suddenly thought about my daily life lately.

My classmates apologized to me one by one.

In my daily life, I have never encountered any bad things.

Even the fight with the adults outside on Friday night ended up going down, as if it had never happened.

"Probably not."

I looked back in surprise at the five-story house in the middle of the tall building. There are dozens of windows lit on the houses, and some people are cooking, and some people are drying their clothes. The windows of Elle's house were so dark that she couldn't see anything.

But I felt that the moment I looked back, I seemed to see Ellie's familiar figure. With a hint of melancholy, a figure with red eyes.

Damn it! What a stupid and violent woman!

Gritting my teeth, I suddenly realized why Ellie was doing all this. What I said to Elle that day rang through my mind again.

[Ellie.] I don't want to be your little brother anymore, I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to go through all that bad stuff anymore. 】

I blamed myself in the bottom of my heart, regretted it in my heart, and scolded Ellie in my heart for being so stupid that I couldn't even understand what I said.

At that time, I hoped that she would not be allowed to go through this again! Now that she's making such a fuss, isn't she even more caught in a bad world!!

"In that case..."

I clenched my fists fiercely, and I walked in the direction of home without looking back.

What I want to do for Elle, those fantasies that I want Elle to be better, let me make it happen!

Be as strong as Ellie, and fight as stupidly as Ellie! After all, only if you are determined to move towards the goal, you will become stronger, right?!

"Now! Let me help Ellie get out of the abyss of badness!! ”

At this moment, I was looking at the stupid future with a hideous face, and I didn't notice the "fate" between me and Elle, and it appeared and condensed little by little.

And I didn't notice that in the darkness of the house, Elle was hiding by the window and secretly wiping her tears. The red potion smeared on the scars on her body was as red as the red thread that symbolized love, and it glowed eerie in the moonlight.
