Volume 1 Chapter 52 Somehow, I Got Through A Difficult Situation. But Even Though I Understood Why I Went Back In Time, I Didn't Know The Exact Reason
While I was walking home, I was attacked by Haga, who was hiding in the dark with a metal bat. There were not many streetlights and hardly any people around.
I never expected someone to attack me so boldly and aggressively with a metal bat.
I used my left arm, which was protected by an arm guard, to defend myself against the metal bat. However, I couldn't completely block the impact, so it hurt quite a lot.
If I didn't have the arm guard, my bones might have broken.
"Hahaha, that's what you deserve! Acting all superior even though you're an ugly mob."
"I can admit that I'm not good-looking... Ugly mob? What does that mean?"
"Well, you see, I'm starting my life over. Because my previous life was terrible, some god or phoenix or something made me handsome for a fresh start!"
"A fresh start?"
"But I don't really understand what's happening. Sure, women started showing interest in me, but they quickly started calling me boring."
"Well, it's not surprising if it's just about being good-looking. Girls may not like guys who aren't good at talking."
"That makes me angry! The girl who said she liked me confessed to another guy at our middle school graduation. So, after fighting with that guy, I forced her to do something she didn't want to do. At first, she cried and fought back, but eventually, she did what I wanted. It felt good to capture that moment on my phone."
"You're really the word..."
"You can say whatever you want. You'll be asking for forgiveness soon."
"Ugh..."
"Hey, what's the matter?"
However, it seems he didn't actually plan to harm me without reason.
"Hahaha, scream like a pig. It doesn't matter if you try to kneel or cry; I won't forgive you."
I don't know if he's just trying to hurt me or if it's something humans find hard to kill each other.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I've been beaten by a former self-defense force member and insulted at a place before, so I'm not that scared.
So, "Stay calm, don't get scared, don't hesitate, don't hide, don't change your mind." If you stay calm and deal with the situation, you'll definitely get a chance to fight back.
"Tch, you b*stard... what with that unfriendly look. Alright then. I'll show you a lesson!"
At that time, Haga's slow bat swing caught my attention.
I quickly stepped back and avoided the bat.
Next, I took out pepper spray from my back pocket, pointed it at Hagawa's face, and pressed the button with my thumb.
"Ugh, my eyes, my eyes, aaaaah!"
Hagawa fell in pain, holding his face. I went behind him and put him in a sleeper hold.
And in about 7 seconds, he went down.
"Phew, I'm happy the pepper spray worked."
Using the pepper spray from the start would have been better, but then there was a big chance of getting hit with a bat while taking it out, aiming, and pressing the button.
However, just carrying it could break the minor offenses law, and a police officer might ask about it.
In fights up close, a knife works better than a gun, and they say the closest safe distance to handle someone with a knife is 21 feet (around 6 meters). This distance is used in police training.
A metal bat needs even more space than a knife due to its longer reach. I used Haga's tie to tie up his hands and feet, then took his smartphone from his pocket.
Luckily, it wasn't locked, so I could use it by swiping the screen.
"Was what he said true?"
And there was definitely a video of the girl Haga had mentioned earlier, who seemed to be his friend, crying and being rap** by Haga.
"Was what he said true... That's the worst."
Should I tell the police and show them this video for extortion and assault, or should I take action myself for justice...
"Hey, wake up now!"
I kicked Haga's stomach a few times, and after making a groaning sound, he woke up.
"Um, what...what is it?"
I controlled my anger and spoke to Haga.
"Hey, Haga. You're the worst kind of person. Either way, you're in big trouble, but I'll give you two options. Either you go to the police and end up in a place for young offenders, or I'll hit you with a metal bat and record you crying and screaming. So, which one do you prefer?"
"W-who are you?"
"Me? I'm just a normal high school student who's good at doing chores...so, which one do you prefer?"
As I said that, Haga suddenly started crying.
"I can't take it anymore! I should have never tried to start over!"
"After causing all this...it's too late to say something like that now."
"No, I am the main character of this world! Everyone should admire me! Why am I going through this, it's ridiculous!"
As Haga shouted like that, a mechanical voice echoed directly in my mind.
[Confirmed the karma value of the Reverse Reincarnation Target α has reached its lowest level, and the desire to discontinue further progression has been expressed. The world will undergo modifications based on the observational status of Retrograde Reincarnation Target β, and Reverse Reincarnation Target α will be eliminated from this world.]
As Haga's shape slowly disappears, the pain in my arm goes away.
"Wait, what's happening?! What is going on?"
"Thank you. I am Firebird, a super organism that is almost perfect."
"Firebird?"
"He will keep being reborn inside me. Instead of being born as a handsome boy, he will spend his life forever being rap*** by a disgusting old man and committing suicide, over and over."
"Oh, that's so tragic..."
I start to think that maybe we are being reborn into troublesome people, just as troublesome as the approaching chaos.
"But you are doing very well. In return, let me grant you a wish."
"Then, could you help Haga's friend who was just rap*** by Haga?"
"Is that what you want? If you wish, I can also make your mother live longer. It's easy for me, being a super organism that is almost perfect."
"No, if I stay with my mom, help with cooking, and assist with chores, she should be okay. But this girl can't do the same."
"Okay. Let's make that happen. 'Changing the past started...' It's done. I'll watch what you do from now on."
After saying that, the voice vanished.
"I get it now why I went back... But I don't know why I'm back in high school."
Now that I think about it, maybe everything Haga did for that girl disappeared when he did...
So, I went home, slept without worries, not knowing what would happen the next morning.
It's like I used sleep to escape from all the confusion and the trouble of thinking about things that didn't make sense.
