‘CHAPTER 2:- A STRUGGLE TOO LATE.’
‘Sub-Chapter 2.’
The main road was full of people as always, and apart from the lizard carts that would pass by, the full width of the street was filled with pedestrians.
It was still at a time when the day was bright. It wasn’t as though it was really hot outside, but it would be enough to make you think that the wolflike half-humans walking around in their fur coats must be sweating.
“But this is totally not the time to be reflecting on the state of the setting!”
Subaru held his head in his hands and twisted about, and his strange poses of distress were enough to gather curious glances from all around. However, now, Subaru really didn’t have the capacity to worry about that.
“After all…it was just night a minute ago, wasn’t it?”
The sun was high in the sky. At the very least, according to what Subaru had sensed, it should already be night.
The night flipped immediately from night to noon. The change was so sudden it reminded Subaru of when he was summoned to this world in the first place. However, that and this were under completely different conditions.
“My stomach…isn’t cut open, is it?” Subaru lifted up the top of his tracksuit and looked at his stomach.
Earlier, it had been cut open with what must have been a large blade, and he had bled so much that he was sure he was going to die.
However, not only was the wound not there, there were not even any traces of blood. Actually, Subaru’s beloved tracksuit wasn’t even dirty.
The convenience store bag he held in his hand was also as full as it had ever been, and his cell phone and wallet were where they should be.
In every sense of the phrase, he was back to square one.
—It was enough to make him feel like he was going crazy.
Realizing there were gaps in his memory, Subaru tried to think of what happened right before he had lost consciousness.
His stomach had been cut open and he was moments from being killed. He thought that he had heard a woman’s voice. He had found a corpse in the loot cellar, and the person who probably had killed that man attacked Subaru.
In that state of near death…
“…That’s right! Satella!”
Satella, who must have been worried about Subaru and entered the building, had also been cut down by the same weapon that took him out.
As soon as Subaru realized that, he felt his innards twisting in pain. The feeling of guilt was even stronger than the feeling of pain he had felt when he himself was attacked.
“Wasn’t I told to take care of Satella?!”
Subaru thought back to Puck’s words right before he disappeared.
The promise Subaru made with that cat certainly wasn’t a joke. Despite the fact that there were at least three times he should have turned back, he had missed every opportunity to do so.
Satella had told him as well. If anything happened he was to call her. He didn’t even do that.
“Am I an idiot? Well, of course I am. I don’t even have time to just hang my head depressed like this. I’ve got to go find Satella and Puck…”
Both of them might be dead. When that thought crossed his mind, Subaru shook his head to brush it away.
Subaru didn’t have any positive qualities, and he couldn’t make himself useful at all. He was something like a mob character, or at best the comic relief character, and yet he was still alive.
If that were the case, there was no way that good-natured Satella, who could use magic and wasn’t honest with herself but was true to her ideals, or that aloof weirdo spirit cat could be dead.
At the very least, he didn’t want them to be.
“At any rate, I’ve got to go back to the loot cellar…”
Since that was the last place he was in before his consciousness was cut off, there must be some kind of hint left there.
As soon as he thought of that, Subaru moved to act. This was where his quick decision-making could shine. In the previous world, most of that was used in decisions like “I’m not going to school today,” but right now it was important for him to act quickly and cut off all his doubts.
However, as soon as Subaru had made his decision and was ready to go…
“Hey, kiddo. How about let’s have some fun.”
Subaru unfortunately had his path from the alley cut off by three men. When Subaru looked at who had talked to him, he couldn’t help but gape.
“Hey, what’s with the stupid look on yer face?”
“I bet he doesn’t realize the mess he’s gotten himself into. How ’bout we tell ’im?” said another man in the group mocking Subaru, as they smiled with sinister smiles.
After staring at the men for a little longer, Subaru felt as though he was being forced to watch a farce.
There were three men. Even if you were trying to be nice, you couldn’t call them well put together. Their bad personalities and bad upbringings just seeped out of them. They were classic thugs.
With all of this, Subaru was feeling an incredible sense of déjà vu.
“Did all of you guys hit your heads on something while I wasn’t looking?”
These were the same guys who had served as the reason for Subaru and Satella’s meeting just hours before.
Sure, they were nothing more than mob characters, but it was hard to imagine that three other guys with the exact same faces were doing the exact same thing.
“In other words, now that you’ve found me alone, you want to get revenge…is that it? I understand that you want to kick me when I’m down, but this is really not the time for me to be dealing with you. You guys…”
“What the hell are you babbling about? Have you lost your mind or something?”
Subaru had wanted to just talk his way out of this, peacefully, but given the way these guys were acting, even Subaru was starting to get ticked off. The only reason that he wanted to solve the issue peacefully in the first place was because he was in a hurry. Normally, Subaru had a pretty short fuse.
“Now listen here, kiddo. If you just put down everything you’ve got and walk away, we’ll let you go.”
“Ah, is that right? Everything I’ve got. Gotcha. I’m in a hurry, so that’s fine with me, really.”
“But you’ve got to get down on all fours and act like a dog first! Say, ‘Save me, save me, please!’ too!”
“All right, I’ve had it with you idiots!” They just had to push it too far, didn’t they? Subaru had already lost it.
The men weren’t prepared for Subaru’s sudden change of attitude, and were shaking. Of the three, as they stood dumbfounded, Subaru picked the skinniest of the group to hit first. It was the one who had the knife, the source of Subaru’s defeat before.
“You’re first! Guys like you who don’t know the preciousness of life can go to hell!”
Subaru landed an uppercut on the man’s jaw with all his strength, and then threw a punch into his open abdomen. The man slammed against the wall and was out like a light. Subaru immediately moved to trip the next man beside him.
Unable to react, the kick landed and the man fell over. As soon as he was down, Subaru tackled the remaining man. His tackle aimed low, and with the force of it he was able to carry the man and slam him into the wall.
After the man lost his breath from the impact of his back against the wall, Subaru landed another kick to finish him.
Subaru then turned around to the man he had just tripped and motioned him with his hand.
“Now it’s one-on-one! Come at me with all you’ve got!”
“Who’re you to act all fair and square with that surprise attack?! You little punk!”
The man ran at Subaru and grabbed his collar, trying to push him into the wall.
“Not good enough!” Subaru yelled, and took hold of both of the man’s wrists and pulled them away. Looking at the startled man’s face, Subaru’s expression twisted into a fiendish smile. “Don’t underestimate the free time of a truant! I spent so much time swinging around a sword because I didn’t have anything better to do that my grip strength is over seventy kilograms of force! I can bench eighty kilos, too!”
The man cried out as Subaru crushed his wrists, and as soon as he had broken his stance, Subaru struck him with his elbow, and the thug cried out.
As Subaru spun around behind him and put his arms around his waist he said, “If I accidentally kill you, don’t hate me too much for this, but I’ve always wanted to try doing a suplex on someone without mats!”
Subaru lifted the man up part of the way and then threw him backward. Unable to react, the thug’s head collided with the wall behind them and he slumped to the ground, unmoving.
After making sure the other two men were silent, Subaru walked over to the first man he hit, the one with the knife.
Although the man had comparatively taken little damage, you could see that he was sweating. As Subaru came closer he tried to pull out his knife. But as he did, Subaru kicked him relentlessly in the face. He was out.
“Hmph! Well that was easy! In this world, evil never triumphs!” said Subaru Natsuki as he struck a pose to celebrate his victory.
After checking for sure that none of the men had actually died, Subaru immediately left the alley.
“Even with this, it’s not like the situation has gotten any better. I’ve got to hurry to the loot cellar.”
Subaru noticed as he was leaving that there were onlookers who were wowing and gasping in surprise that he had left the alley unscathed.
If you realized I was back there, then you should have gone to the guards! Subaru thought as he held back the urge to lecture them. Right now he couldn’t let any minute go to waste.
