The Raven Dark Hero 19

Chapter 19 : Please Don’t Treat Me Like an Idiot

TL:SummerPeanut

Kuroyume, the largest filth organization in Japan.

It has many high-ranked gift holders, including the leader, Kiryu Shinichirou.

They have secret bases all over Japan, and are rebelling against the current situation where they are treated as criminals by the government as Filth.

Suou Kouki, the "Darkflash Bright" who joined Kuroyume last night, is now on his way to school as if nothing had happened.

(Huh.... I never thought I'd be a member of a filth organization... And I was saying whatnot about being a hero just the other day... But I don't think it's right for me to join the NDF now either, and above all, what the boss said yesterday...

Last night, on his way back from Kuroyume's hideout, Kouki remembered what the boss had told him....

"Revived Hunter.... It's a good thing the NDF didn't find out about it. If they had known, you would have been treated as experimental material for the rest of your life.

(.... If that story is true, then the NDF is the secret society instead, isn't it? Well, it's possible that he’s purposely talking bad about rival organizations but...)

It was five o'clock in the morning when he came back from the hideout with very heavy eyelids after using the transfer stone.

"Good morning, Kouki-kun."

...Fuuka was waiting for him. It's already becoming somewhat of a routine. But that's precisely why Kouki doesn't skip school even when he is so sleepy.

In the past month, Kouki's student life has changed dramatically.

After becoming a gifted person and no longer feeling inferior to Hiro, Kouki has become more cheerful. As a result, he began to interact with his classmates, who had previously shunned him, and became a very popular student.

Although he and Fuuka weren't officially dating, they were already getting along well with each other. The way he called her name has also changed from Mizutani to Fuuka.

"Good morning Fuuka. Yawn I'm sleepy..."

"Staying up late again? You have to play your games in moderation."

Instead of playing a game, I was murdered though...is not something he can say.

"I know~"

The two of them continued to chat as they walked to school.

When he saw Fuuka walking next to him with a happy smile on her face, Kouki wondered if he was dreaming.

Until just a month ago, he had been living his life by blocking out his surroundings. Comparing the before to now, the current situation was too good to be true.

This happiness probably won't last long, he thought. He is going to start a new life and walk the path as a member of Kuroyume, a filths organization.

(If it’ll be like this, maybe it's better that I remain non-gifted...)

For example..., he thought. Marrying Fuuka in the future, have a normal child, and start a happy normal family. The reason why he had such thoughts was because he knows that that happiness is no longer something attainable anymore...

“...geez! Don't sleep while walking on the road, okay?”

"Hmm? Oh, I’m awake, no worries."

That is precisely why he promised himself to enjoy this peaceful happiness for now.

After school.

“Kouki~~. Are you going on a date with Fuuka-chan after school later~?”

Takahiko came to talk to Kouki. But Fuuka was the first to respond to his question.

“Oh, I have a small thing to do...”

"Really? If that's the case, I'll go home first today then. Takahiko, you want to go home with me?”

"Uh... um... Kouki-kun…”

“...sigh~. Although you've become more sociable lately, you still don't understand a woman’s heart eh.”

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Look at Fuuka-chan's face."

Following Takahiko’s words, Kouki stared at Fuuka’s face while she herself looked troubled as if a small animal fidgeting about.

“She said she had some small stuffs to take care of, in other words, please wait for her. Right, Fuuka-chan.”

"Eh? Well, If it's not too much trouble for Kouki-kun…”

"Sorry, sorry. I'm totally okay waiting for you!”

“Thank you. I'll be right back!”

Fuuka went out of the classroom. She was called to the back of the school building.

"Mizutani Fuuka.... Not a sign of obedience even after three warnings and you are still hanging around Kouki-sama as you please.”

Yoshida, who was said to be the strongest female primate, had an angry expression on her face.

Behind her were Watanabe, Ookubo and Kondo. They looked like they were at the last straw of their patience similar to Yoshida.

“As I’ve said before, who Kouki-kun likes and who likes Kouki-kun, has nothing to do with you right?”

Even a male student would be scared if he was surrounded by these four individuals. But Fuuka remains resolute in her attitude.

“You've got a lot of nerve huh. Just because you're Kouki-sama's favorite, do you think we won't don’t dare to teach you some lessons?”

"...Not really. I was just stating a fact. But if you were to assault me, you would be despised by him and he would hate you for it.”

“I already know! But we don't have a chance anyway! Even though all the girls who had feelings for Kouki-sama until recently would withdraw just by threatening them slightly. Now that Kouki-sama’s public image is better, the number of girls who become interested in him is running out of our control and you are the one that forces our hands!

How dare you use the gap while we are busy and obtain Kouki-sama…”

“I-it's not like we're officially dating yet…”

“What do you mean "yet"! In the end you also like Kouki-sama right?!”

“I-it’s true that............I like him, but…”

The sight of Fuuka blushing furiously while fidgeting even made the girls other than Yoshida feel that she’s too precious.

“...kuh, goddamn it, fine then. If it comes down to it, I'll just rape Kouki-sama. Because I'm a gifted, and he's not! I can do whatever I want to him and no one can stop me!”

The moment she heard those words, Fuuka's mood changed.

"...what did you just say?”

"Shut up! I'm going to strip you naked and make you an exhibitionist! We also had the permission from that personage as well! Let’s teach her a lesson, guys!”

The four gorillas all jumped at Fuuka together.

“...what a foolish bunch. Don't look down on me too much, okay?”

...............

“...I hope you’ll learn from this. Don’t get involved with Kouki-kun again. And also myself… Do you understand?”

Fuuka with a cold face stood in front of four women who were groaning on the ground.

"I...I understand…”

Yoshida cried and apologized to Fuuka.

“Also, stop making fun of the fact that he has no gift. He's... he's pretty upset that he didn't manage to awaken his gift. Do you understand?”

"Yes... I won't make fun of hi… anymore”

“Good. One last thing, the personage you mentioned before... are you referring to Sanada Hiro?”

Yoshida was puzzled with the sudden question, but nodded quietly.

“I see. He has an attitude issue after all. Then, what happened here is absolutely a secret, okay? If Kouki-kun finds out... you understand, right?”

All four of their faces turned pale as they nodded their heads.

"Alright then! I’ll take my leave first. Because Kouki-kun is waiting for me!”

With a smile on her face that everyone could not help but admire, Fuuka left the scene.
