I Just Wanted a Peaceful Life After Transferring, but I Fell into a Rom-Com Trap and a Hidden Battlefield No One Knows About - Chapter 35: The Strongest vs. The Most Ruthless! A Fated Clash Between the Ultimate Delinquent and the Notorious Delinquent Hunter Begins!

Chapter 35: The Strongest vs. The Most Ruthless! A Fated Clash Between the Ultimate Delinquent and the Notorious Delinquent Hunter Begins!

Dragging my exhausted body, I pedaled my bike home alone.

Summer break had finally arrived. I was planning to relax at home, playing games at my own pace. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be forced into a trip.

…But I guess it’s still better than working at the café.

“Yo, finished your exams?”

Just as I reached the outskirts of the DEATH district, a familiar voice rang out.

And there he was—

“You’re early.”

Standing before me was none other than Asakawa Makoto, the leader of DEMON and the one hailed as the “strongest delinquent in history.”

He was the opponent I had promised to settle things with.

I never expected him to show up right after my exams. What kind of timing is this?

“It’s about time we finish this.”

“You and your perfect timing…”

“Damn right. The exams are over, so let’s wrap this up already!”

“Tch… Guess I got no choice, huh?”

Why the hell do we have to fight now? Can’t it wait until tomorrow?

…Oh well.

Asakawa motioned toward the riverside as our battleground. Without hesitation, he stripped off his jacket and started warming up.

“Man, you’re seriously fired up for this, huh?”

“Of course. Two years ago, we never got to settle things. This time, we’re doing it right.”

Geez… Why now of all times?

Now that I think about it, I saw a scene just like this in a manga once…

Maybe I can use this situation to my advantage.

Might as well give it a shot.

I took off my jacket and stretched a little, getting ready. Meanwhile, Asakawa had already finished his warm-up.

“If you really wanna fight me, I’ll tell you something no one else knows.”

“Hah? What are you talking about?”

He eyed me with curiosity.

“Here, take a look at this!”

I pulled it out of my pocket and held it up in front of him.

“This is a super item from my house—Hyourougan! It boosts my combat power! Once I take this, my chakra limit increases, making me even stronger!”

“H-Hyourougan…? Wait, oi…”

Asakawa frowned instantly.

I ignored him and continued.

“This is something I went through hell to get from Konoha! And today, I’ll let you be the first to witness its power!”

I tossed the pill into the air dramatically and—

“Also! I learned something from watching Mr. Bean!”

“Oi…”

Asakawa grimaced, glancing at the pill soaring through the sky.

Now! Gotcha!

The moment he looked up, I charged in and slammed my fist straight into his face!

Asakawa was sent flying several meters.

…Seriously, how could he fall for something this dumb?

I wish Umika could see this. She always calls me an idiot, but this guy is way worse!

“I can’t believe you actually bought that!”

“You… You seriously pulled some elementary school-level bullshit on me…?”

“Yeah, and you fell for it! Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!”

“Heh… Now you’ve done it! You made me go all out!”

“Oh-ho~? Bring it on then!”

With that, Asakawa clenched his fist and charged straight at me.

“Misaki!”

I tightened my grip, muscles tensed—

“Asakawa!”

After two years, the battle that would settle our fate—

Begins today!
