Reincarnated Into a Delinquent Manga… Where the Genders Are Reversed and Everyone’s a Girl - Chapter 02: Why’s the Plot Moving So Damn Fast?

Chapter 02: Why’s the Plot Moving So Damn Fast?

There’s a character in Fist named Yayoi Akagi.

She’s a third-year at Shibakata High, with a body built like a tank.

By pure coincidence, she had the same name as the Yayoi-chan I met yesterday…

But if the real Akagi got hit with this world’s chastity-reversal, there’s no way she’d end up that tiny.

In Fist, the fight with her happens early on.

She’s basically the first boss.

It starts after Chiaki Haruna and Minato Myougi get caught up in all kinds of fights, and their names start spreading across the school.

The top dog, Akagi, goes to check them out.

She likes what she sees and tries to bring them under her wing—but Chiaki, who hates serving under anyone, refuses.

And that’s where the fight begins.

“If I remember right… that’s about a month from now?”

Yeah, according to my memory, the Akagi fight doesn’t happen until around then.

Which means… I’ve still got some breathing room.

“I’m planning to take over the whole school.”

“…Huh?”

Classes had just ended—not that classes mean much in Shibakata High—and Minato walked up to me with that nonsense.

“Can’t just keep losing, y’know?”

“You saying you’ll take on Chiaki?”

“…That’s way too soon.”

“So you’re scared.”

“I’m not scared, damn it!?”

She flipped Chiaki off behind her back.

Making sure Chiaki wouldn’t notice—real classy.

“First thing’s first—we gotta secure our base.”

“…Meaning?”

“I’m gonna make my own faction!”

Minato crossed her arms, her face brimming with confidence.

All I felt was dread.

She’d pulled stunts like this in the manga too—and almost always failed.

Sure, part of it was her lack of actual strength…

But honestly, the bigger problem was Minato Myougi’s atrocious luck.

Play rock-paper-scissors? She’d lose.

Buy from a vending machine? It’d eat her money.

Go for a walk? Bird poop, guaranteed.

Basically, she was cursed.

“So, how exactly are you planning to do that?”

“Simple. I find someone who looks weak, pick a fight, beat ’em up. Then, by the unspoken rule, the loser becomes your underling—bam, my faction grows.”

…Yeah, I didn’t see that working.

Not that I said it out loud.

I’m nice like that.

Or maybe I just didn’t want the hassle.

“Well, good luck.”

“What are you talking about, Takuma-kun? You’re coming too.”

“…Why?”

“’Cause you look strong!”

Minato clenched her fist, grinning from ear to ear.

“In Shibakata High, having one of the rare boys by your side makes you special! If you’re with me, I’ll look crazy strong!”

“Love that top-tier short-term thinking.”

I still couldn’t handle actual delinquents without getting nervous, but Minato?

I’d gotten used to her.

Mostly because… she gave off the vibe of a big, dopey dog.

“You making fun of me??”

“Nope, nope. Minato-san, you’re super cool.”

“…Fufufu, well, of course I am!”

A little flattery and she’s off riding the high.

One of these days, someone’s gonna scam this girl.

◇

Shibakata High—one of the most notorious delinquent schools around—always had someone fighting, no matter the time of day.

“Hey, you bastard!!”

“Screw you, moron!!”

“What’d you say, you flat-chested twig?!”

“Okay, that you’re not allowed to say!!”

The reason didn’t matter.

For them, fighting was practically their whole identity.

I glanced at Minato standing next to me.

“Look, why don’t you jump into that one?”

“…Nah, I don’t do scavenger kills.”

It’s a matter of girly pride, you see, she said, turning her head away like it was beneath her.

We kept roaming the school building, but every time a fight was about to break out, Minato bolted before it even started.

“…Weren’t you gonna make your own faction?”

“I don’t like bullying the weak, that’s all.”

I sighed.

“Oh, Takuma-kun. How about that one?”

Her voice lit up like she’d just spotted the perfect “weak enough” target.

Suppressing the urge to groan, I followed her gaze—

“…Yayoi-chan?”

“Alright, fight me, you little squirt!!”

It was the same back I’d seen yesterday.

Long black twin-tails.

A height that definitely screamed elementary schooler.

I did wonder why she was wearing a Shibakata High uniform…

But more importantly, Minato had already charged in, full of confidence, ready to pick a fight.

Seriously? Fighting a kid?

I tried to stop her before she embarrassed herself—

Too late.

Her fist landed square on Yayoi’s back—

“Guhah!?”

—And the next thing I knew, Minato went flying backwards toward me.

Easily a few meters.

“…Huh?”

The word slipped out before I could stop it.

It was such an unreal scene that my brain lagged behind.

Over there, standing perfectly calm, was Yayoi—expressionless.

“Oi, oi… don’t tell me there’s still someone in this school stupid enough to pick a fight with me.”

“Eeeek!!”

Letting out a pathetic little squeal, Minato scrambled back as fast as she could.

Can’t blame her.

The look on Yayoi’s face was downright terrifying.

“…Huh? Takuma?”

“Ah. Hey.”

“So you really are a Shibakata High student.”

The moment she noticed me, her whole demeanor shifted—her tone turned light, almost cutesy.

She tilted her head playfully, twin-tails swishing from side to side.

“…Pretty sure I should be the one asking that.”

“Mm?”

“Yayoi-chan, you’re an elementary schooler, right? What are you doing in a high school?”

“Ehhhhh!!”

How dare you!!

Yayoi’s shout practically shook with outrage.

“I’m a high school student!”

“…Wait, seriously?”

“Seriously!!!”

No way.

She was clearly elementary school age.

Her behavior was pure kid, too.

That’s when a thought hit me.

—Hold on. If Yayoi really is a high schooler…

And not just any high schooler, but a Shibakata High student…

And she’s got strength like that…

The dots started connecting.

“N-No way…”

“What’s wrong, Takuma?”

“Yayoi-chan… can I ask your family name?”

“My family name? That’s a weird thing to ask.”

But sure! I’ll tell you!

She grinned from ear to ear, completely oblivious to the storm she was about to drop on me.

“My family name is… Akagi. Yayoi Akagi.”

The world went dark.

The boss had shown up way too early.
