Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 135: Meanwhile, Sakaki…

Chapter 135: Meanwhile, Sakaki…

“Hey, you! You better have made 100,000 yen today, Sakaki!”

“…”

“You really think you can mock us like this!”

“Guha!”

It’s impossible, obviously. 100,000 yen in a week…

Where did I go wrong… Where…

“Get the money from your parents or wherever. You’re part of our team now, so it’s only natural. Got it?”

“I-It’s impossible… Guha!”

“I can’t hear you! Say it again, come on!”

“…”

After being humiliated by Yorimoto, and then clinging to these guys, my days have just been…

“Hey! Say something, Sakaki!”

The guys in front of me are a well-known group of delinquents in the area, infamous among those who know. 

They’re like a gathering of those who caused trouble in school and got expelled. 

No, they’re more than just delinquents; they are dangerous, unpredictable, and have nothing to lose.

Normally, they are the last people I’d want to be involved with, but after being disgracefully defeated by Yorimoto, I was completely out of my mind… 

Not just humiliated by Yorimoto himself, but even by Tanaka…

The cheers I used to hear have diminished, my once enjoyable school life has become suffocating. 

I was truly losing my mind.

“Seriously, we’re being nice to a small fry like you. I told you to bring 100,000 yen quickly so we can take care of that Yorimoto guy for you. Hey!”

“No, I’m fine now… so about 100,000 yen…”

“Ha? Fine? Are you really mocking me? Then it’s a cancellation fee of 300,000 yen. I’ll wait until the end of the month, so you better prepare it. Or else, you’re really finished, you know?”

“…”

I really shouldn’t have gotten involved with these guys. 

Someone like me, half-hearted, should never have got mixed up in this…

“You’re weak in fights, can’t even do errands properly. Thought maybe you had some looks to bring girls, but you can’t even manage that. You’re really finished, huh? Right, guys? Hahaha.”

And since then, their dirty laughter and violence have been relentlessly aimed at me…

“By the way, about that withdrawal thing you mentioned yesterday, if you want out, it’s a withdrawal fee of 1 million yen, as initially agreed. Cash, in full. Hahaha.”

I’m really pathetic… 

Asking bad guys to take down Yorimoto, this is like the actions of a true loser straight out of a manga… 

Pathetic, just too pathetic. And me, I was really getting ahead of myself. 

No real strength, but I was so full of myself. 

Insults can really take a toll on your heart…

Even now, here, and at school since that incident, I’ve become the subject of whispers and gossip… 

It’s strange how insults and backstabbing always seem to reach the ears of the person they’re about, even when the speakers think they’re unheard…

“…”

I’m really pathetic, aren’t I? 

Right now, it’s probably all the consequences of my previous arrogance coming back to haunt me… 

I really got carried away, not understanding people’s feelings… 

I’ve always been a fool who doesn’t learn unless I face the consequences directly… 

I can do things to a certain extent, but everything is always half-baked… 

Everything.

“Hey, you, bring your friends or whoever. If they chip in, it’ll lighten your load, right? Anyone will do.”

Friends, huh… Takasago? Moriya?

Hah, if I involve them, I’m really finished as a human being.

“It’s impossible… Guh.”

“Hey, do you really want to die? We’re really ruthless, you know. You should know that.”

Beg Yorimoto for help? No, even Yorimoto probably can’t beat these guys. They’re on a different level. Real thugs. Calling them criminals wouldn’t be an exaggeration.　

It’s hopeless.

“Your school has a cultural festival coming up, right? If you can’t pay by the end of the month, we’re not waiting any longer. You know what that means.”

“B-But the school has nothing to do with thi… Guha!”

“What? Then make sure you have it. 300,000 yen. No excuses.”

“…”

Damn… What do I do? If I don’t come up with the money, these guys will surely do as they say…

“…”

But 300,000 yen is just impossible for me right now… 

And there’s no one around me who can stand up to these guys…

Damn it, why am I so stupid…

What should I do… 

Damn… I’ve been wrong for so long, ever since the beginning… 

Since the beginning… 

But really, what should I do…
