I Was Unreasonably Dumped By My Girlfriend And Had My Heart Broken. When I Rescued A Beautiful Girl Who Was My Former Classmate And Idol In My Class From A Group Of Yarisa, My Gray College Life Started To Shine - Chapter 3
Episode 3: Giving a Groin Strike to the Yarisa Guy!
Exiting through the ticket gate, I hurried back onto the university campus.
Inside the campus, club recruitment was still ongoing. As expected of a massive school. The incredible enthusiasm hadn’t cooled down yet, and the main streets were bustling with people.
However, the Cosmos circle that Hikari was taken to was no longer on campus.
I couldn’t find their flag anywhere.
So, I had an idea and searched for it on social media.
And it popped up in the search results.
Apparently, the Cosmos circle was planning to have a cherry blossom viewing today.
There wasn’t much more information, but according to Google Sensei, there weren’t many places around here for cherry blossom viewing.
So, I headed to the nearest park for now.
It was small, but it seemed to be a famous cherry blossom viewing spot.
I rushed through the crowded park, where many people had spread out their picnic sheets to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but I couldn’t find Hikari anywhere.
However, I had no choice but to keep looking since I had come this far.
I used every means available, searching through various cherry blossom viewing spots.
But even after several hours, I couldn’t find her.
To make matters worse, the sky darkened, and my phone ran out of battery.
“Why does this have to happen now?!”
Suddenly, I was at a loss, biting my lip in frustration.
I didn’t have much cash on me, so not being able to borrow a charger was painful.
Without a smartphone, Tokyo, this metropolis, was a maze to someone from the countryside like me.
The train routes were complicated, and although I had heard of the place names on TV, I had never been to any of them.
In the middle of the cherry blossom viewing venue, I was in a panic, just wandering around when I overheard a conversation.
“It seems like something’s going down at the cherry blossom viewing venue in Ueno.”
“Yeah, I saw it on social media. The Katsurado circle is having a crazy drinking party. Poor freshmen.”
With that, I immediately headed back to Ochanomizu Station.
There might have been a closer station, but I didn’t have time to waste hesitating.
I transferred trains and got off at Ueno.
Following the signs, I somehow made my way to the direction of the park, where it was bustling with cherry blossom viewers.
I pushed through the crowd, searching for Hikari and the Cosmos circle.
And then, I found a group that seemed to be them.
Among them were people wearing shirts with the Katsurado University emblem, so there was no mistaking it.
“What the hell is this?”
It was an appalling sight beyond words.
The picnic sheets were littered with alcohol and food, some people were passed out drunk even though the sun had just set, and there were even couples cuddling.
In the midst of all this, when I looked for Aoba… she was about to get into the worst condition.
“Hikari-chan, you’ve had too much to drink. Let me take you somewhere nice and make you feel better.”
“Stop… it…”
“Hah, as if I would stop. I finally caught such a fine catch.”
Being carried by a muscular senior, Aoba was limp, unable to resist properly.
Her arms hung limply, her face abnormally flushed.
She had probably been forced to drink a lot of alcohol.
Honestly, I was quite scared.
A chill ran down my spine, and fear surged within me.
I had always chosen the safest path to live.
I had lived my life avoiding getting involved with rough people like him.
But now, there was no reason to run away.
I clenched my trembling hands tightly and stood in front of the man.
“Put her down.”
“Huh? Who the hell are you? You look like such a weakling. You don’t seem like Hikari-chan’s boyfriend… more like a loner. Anyway, get out of the way, I’m about to have some fun. I’ve even booked a hotel. Move.”
…This guy had no shame.
He was probably drunk too, unable to hide his desires.
“If you’re going to be a nuisance, I’ll move you.”
Lowering Aoba, who seemed completely exhausted, to the ground, the man lunged at me.
It might have been the end if it were a normal situation.
I wasn’t trained, and I wasn’t strong. But if the opponent was drunk, it was a different story.
I dodged his tackle and kicked him in the groin.
As hard as I could, without hesitation.
I wasn’t going to be nice to someone like him.
And right now, I…
“Cut the crap, you scumbag. I’m already irritated enough. My girlfriend was taken by someone else like some cheap prey.”
Even though it didn’t directly involve me, the pent-up resentment found an outlet.
But well, it couldn’t be helped. If I didn’t do this, I couldn’t stand it.
As the man tried to attack me again, I kicked him in the groin once more.
And as a result of my merciless actions,
“Ugh, ugh…”
The man was reduced to a pitiful state.
Holding his crotch, he dropped to his knees, then collapsed face-first onto the ground.
How many years had it been since I got into such a fight-like situation?
I placed my hand on my chest, trying to calm my pounding heart.
Then immediately, I remembered Hikari.
“I’m sorry, but I have to take you away for a bit.”
Leaving her here was extremely dangerous. I had to get away as far as possible.
I somehow managed to carry her on my back, hung the small bag she was barely holding onto around her neck, and left the scene.
Then, I used a public phone to call the police.
Such a chaotic situation couldn’t be handled by me alone.
