Falling in love with my stalker - Chapter 7- His admiration...

[Shou’s POV:]

I was driven by my annoyance and adrenaline, that’s why demolishing the chair on the delinquent’s head, didn’t seem too much of a task for me.

However, when Takeuchi Gonzo ordered his men to apprehend me—as a part of my test—I found myself greatly struggling. No, better to say, I was facing a one-sided beatdown.

Although I have no prior fighting experience, I tried using underhand tactics to overcome the test and prove my point that I was a fine partner for Takeuchi-san.

However, as expected of the men serving the one and only Yakuza leader—they not only blocked every futile assault from me but also, hurt me enough so I didn’t attain any lasting effect nor did I lose my consciousness.

However, it still hurts. It hurts everywhere.

I still tried resisting them as far as I could, just so the older one assessing me here could see my determination to be with Takeuchi-san. However, all of a sudden, while I was pinned on the floor, a person walked inside the room with their eyes entirely stretched and evident shock written on their face.

It was Takeuchi-san.

“Ah…y-you are here, Takeuchi-san…” Although I could no longer open my left eye and the right one was blurry because of my own blood as well—I cannot be mistaken about the identity of this person.

“Release him!” However, she didn’t respond to me but shouted at the men who were crushing me.

However, they didn’t budge—leading to something I didn’t anticipate.

Takeuchi-san suddenly pulled something from behind her back and whipped it into the open air. The small rod turned into a thin baton which mostly police use.

She didn’t wait for the men to react before she charged forward and struck the rod on top of the man who was pinning me. I couldn’t see where she hit him, but the way he groaned in pain and loosened his grip, I felt she must have been hit on his shoulder.

Regardless, Takeuchi-san didn’t stop there and continued hitting the guards with the baton mercilessly. At some point they began to fight back, however, there was no shortcoming in her stance despite how angered she seemed.

“Khuk!” One of the three groaned in anguish as Takeuchi-san hit his face and probably broke his nose by the hit.

I dazedly sat on the floor while witnessing the scene of a one-sided beatdown. Takeuchi-san wasn’t fighting against the goons, rather, she was overwhelming them.

The coldness her gaze carried wasn’t unfamiliar, however, to think she could make such an expression just for my sake—strangely made me elated.

“Can you see? The position where my daughter stands and the place where you lie?” Hearing Takeuchi Gonzo-san’s voice, I was pulled out of my reverie, as I suddenly realized that the three men were now fallen to the ground and Takeuchi-san standing as the victor.

Takeuchi-san glared at her father before she turned in my direction and dashed.

“Ou…” I instinctively groaned upon feeling my body being embraced by her. However, my face doesn’t hurt much since the place it was pressed against, was excessively soft…

“A-Are you fin-agh, what am I even asking? Wait, I will get you to hospi-” Before Takeuchi-san could panic anymore, I held her hand and assured her with a smiling face.

“You already healed me. And about these wounds, then I will patch them up soon, once I return home. So please, calm down Takeuchi-san.” Whether my words helped or my assuring smile, Takeuchi-san looked me in the eyes for a good minute. I thought she must have calmed down, however, upon seeing the moisture building in her eyes, my eyes widened.

“Takeuchi-san?”

“*Sniff* It’s nothing…Shou-kun is just so brave and kind…that… I…*sniff*”

I would have tried wiping her tears but my injuries and our current position didn’t allow me, much mobility.

“Behave yourself, Rumi.” Hearing the domineering voice of the man, Takeuchi-san didn’t react nor did she leave my side.

“You shouldn’t have done this Otou-san…”I flinched slightly hearing such a shift of tone, in such a short gap. Whether she has a switch to shift between her moods, remains a mystery.

“It may seem cruel of me, but as a father, I need to ascertain the strength of the man you are dating.”

His words, triggered Takeuchi-san in the worst manner as she looked over her shoulder and glared at her father, “And why is that required?! Not everyone has the ambition to become a criminal like you!”

“Takeuchi-san?!” I couldn’t help but exclaim hearing such rude words from her. Even though I was injured after being abducted, for her to talk like that to her father, seemed nothing but a wrong behavior.

“It’s okay, boy, I already am aware of how my daughter sees me.”

My heart bled hearing those words from the man, who seemed to have already resigned from his life. The way his shoulder slumped, and his demeanor diminished in an instant—I felt hurt more than the physical onslaught I faced just now.

In desperation, I looked at Takeuchi-san with a pleading gaze.

She feigned ignorance by looking at my wound…however, she soon sighed and helped me get up first.

“…I shouldn’t have said that, Otou-san. However, it doesn’t change the fact that you kidnapped Shou-kun and brutally tormented him.”

After helping me to sit on the chair—which mysteriously appeared in the room—Takeuchi-san again protested against her father’s decision; albeit in a milder tone now.

“I am aware that I have hurt you, Rumi…however, I have a reason to test his survival skills and his will to be with you.”

“…why?” Although Takeuchi-san asked this, I somehow knew the reason.

And hearing the same reasoning from the man, I was assured of his intentions.

“Not every time I or your uncles or the bodyguards I have assigned for your protection would be around you. Especially when you will be spending your time alone with this brat, right?”

This isn’t the time to blush Takeuchi-san…was what I refrained from saying upon witnessing her reddening face. Probably, she was shy about what her father said near the end.

Taking Takeuchi-san’s silence as a response, the man continued, “That’s why I and your other guardians always had kept in mind, that the person who would become your lover or husband in the future, surely has enough skill to go against at least a bunch of gang members, all alone.”

Although it was a little dramatic, I could somehow understand the reason why he would say such a thing. It was given that as a couple I and Takeuchi-san would spend time alone; as such, it was necessary for me to have enough strength to at least protect her.

“Then, what do you suggest?”

From her tone, it seemed Takeuchi-san was intending to say ‘Let’s hear what childish plan you have’ rather than actually being curious. The way she folded her arm on her belly, expressed such an impression.

‘Ah, that’s a dangerous pose, Takeuchi-san…’ I am lucky that she didn’t witness my embarrassing blushing face upon seeing the dashing Takeuchi-san.

Regardless of my inner turmoil, Takeuchi Gonzo declared his intention,

“Until that brat isn’t capable of passing the test, you two are not allowed to let others know about your relationship.”
