The Dual Swordsman Who Lost Both Arms On Stream to Save His Doomed Party Gets Exiled—Then the Heroines Go Yandere

Chapter 21: The Easy Girl Who Meant to Honey Trap Him but Got Bound Instead

――――【Nezha’s Perspective】

“Damn it! What kind of monstrous strength is that!”

I caught the fist of the blond delinquent who suddenly swung at me in my palm and squeezed it tight. Tears welled up in his eyes as he screamed.

Oh no!

It was instinctive, so I squeezed with full power. My prosthetic fingers dug into the gaps between the metacarpal bones on the back of his hand, and blood gushed out forcefully.

“My kicks can snap three wooden bats easy! Your weak bones will break like Pocky!”

Pocky grass.

I ended up laughing at the cute phrase that did not fit a delinquent at all. By the way, Pocky is a stick-type pretzel coated in chocolate.

“What are you laughing at! I’ll kill you, damn it!!! Here it comes!!!”

He twisted his waist, built up plenty of power, and unleashed a kick at me. It looked like a low kick at first, but he skillfully used his hips to switch it into a high kick.

“Huh, you can use delicate technique even though you look rough.”

Watch out!

I meant to praise him in my head, but I got happy and said it out loud.

“My boooones! They’re broken!!!”

But before I could praise him, he was already crouching down, clutching his shin. It seemed his bone snapped cleanly like Pocky because I blocked it with my titanium alloy body Armada.

The last remaining delinquent had colorful illustrations peeking out from his neck and wrists, and his glare looked bad enough to have killed a few people.

He tried to swing at me, so I looked him straight in the eyes and stepped forward.

“Don’t mess…”

“Your two friends look tired. You will naturally help with my rehab, right?”

“Eek!?”

As I closed the distance, the tattoo guy fell on his butt.

“What are you doing!!!”

An adult who looked like a PE teacher in a tracksuit came running, probably hearing the commotion.

“””Ugh, Gori!?”””

The delinquents grimaced. He seemed to be a teacher at Twilight Academy feared even by delinquents. They say the name reflects the person, and he did have a bit of a gorilla vibe.

The teacher looked around the club room and seemed to understand something.

“You bastards, you wouldn’t dare lay hands on a female student…”

There were kick marks from Pocky on my uniform sleeve, Shinobu behind me who had taken off her uniform and was somehow in her underwear, and the delinquents who got beaten back by me…

“That’s not it! When we got here, she was already undressed!”

“Yeah! Those two over there were about to do it!”

“We have nothing to do with it!!!”

Shinobu looked down with a sad expression on her face.

“Shut up! Come with me for a bit! Not only assault, but it looks like you’ve been smoking and drinking too!”

It felt a little like a false accusation, but since it was attempted, I decided not to defend them.

“You must be the rumored transfer student. Quite a disaster on your first day of transfer. Leave these guys to me.”

Even though I had been hanging out in Hayase Shima’s infirmary, I got away without being scolded…

The delinquents were dragged away all together by the male teacher like Dona Dona. He seemed pretty powerful, so maybe I could ask him to spar if I get the chance.

Just me and Shinobu left in the club room.

“Thank you for saving me from danger. I want to repay this favor, but all I can do is serve you with my body…”

“Seriously!? Then…”

I picked up the rod shuriken that had fallen out of Shinobu’s sailor uniform and handed it to her.

“Huh? This is…”

“Morino-san, you are a descendant of ninjas, right? I want you to help with my rehab.”

“Um, well…”

“You will serve me with your body, right?”

“Th-that’s not what I…”

“No good?”

“Y-yes… It’s fine, I will help you…”

Great! This should make for fun rehab.

――――【Shinobu’s Perspective】

I exchanged contact info with Hinata Nezha, and we agreed to meet again tomorrow in the club room.

After that, I moved to a place I had to go. A prison guard brought a prisoner into the visiting room. Handcuffs on the wrists, a waist rope around the waist, and another guard held the rope with a tense expression.

The prisoner’s waist rope was removed, but the handcuffs stayed on as the guard directed her to the chair on the other side of the wall from me.

The prisoner with striking deep crimson red hair saw me and shouted.

“Shinobu!”

“Akira-senpai!”

The prisoner’s name was Ashiya Akira… My senior two years above me, top of the Labyrinth Department at Twilight Academy, an S-rank dungeon explorer, a local star, the University Killer, a hero among dungeon exploration students who once took the world by storm.

She had been…

She committed an indiscriminate terror attack in the electronics district of Tōto that involved ordinary people, falling from hero to major criminal in one turn.

“Shinobu… You do not have to come anymore. Forget someone like me and live your own life.”

Those eyes once full of hope had grown dull, with bad bags under her lower eyelids. The dazzling sparkling red hair had turned sallow and lost its shine.

Akira-senpai stood up from her seat and tried to signal the guard that the visit was over.

“Please wait! A savior messiah for you has appeared at the academy.”

“A savior?”

“Yes… Senpai, you know Hinata Kojiro, right?”

The moment I mentioned the legendary explorer’s name, flames lit in those dull eyes. Color returned to her dry skin, and it grew hot.

“He was my admired dungeon explorer and my goal. Not knowing him would be the same as blaspheming dungeon explorers.”

“The forgotten memento of that Hinata Kojiro visited the Labyrinth Club.”

“What did you say!?”

With a clatter, the chair Akira-senpai had been sitting in fell to the floor. She had stood up forcefully. When the guard said “Quiet!”, Akira-senpai bowed once, and the chair was put back in place.

“But why would the son of a great man come to the academy… When because of me, the exploration department no longer remains.”

I explained to Akira-senpai the reason he told me for coming to the academy.

“Hmm… I understand the reason, but dungeon exploration without both arms is tantamount to suicide. I do not understand why you recommend him, Shinobu.”

“He saw through my concealment skill and easily beat down Akai, Aoki, and Kurose, all three together, with his prosthetic hands. In my judgment, calling him a D-rank explorer is a misrepresentation. If I may say, I believe he hides abilities greater than even Akira-senpai’s.”

“Uuuu…”

“…Senpai!?”

Akira-senpai put her hand on the sturdy polycarbonate window and wept bitterly.

“Shinobu… Please. Do not give me hope. I committed a sin heavy enough to spend my life here… Even if it was a set-up trap, I could not protect them…”

On the way home after finishing the visit with Akira-senpai… I became unsure.

Is what I am trying to do now justice?

What Akira-senpai did was justice itself, but her sense of justice was used in a bad way. She was framed by those jealous of her success.

When invisible monsters appeared on the surface, even though disaster dispatch was requested to the Ground Self-Defense Force, the Dungeon Exploration Association was slow to act.

Even if she would be punished, she went out alone to subjugate the monsters to protect innocent people, but for some reason, the footage broadcast to the world showed her massacring innocent people and bathing in their fresh blood.

I absolutely cannot forgive a sincere person like her bearing the sin while those truly sinful enjoy freedom carefree.

Even if she hates me for it, no matter what means I use, I will rescue her!

That aside, Hinata Nezha.

I pretended to be a big weak girl and set a honey trap, but he was a tough guy to crack… Rumors said he got cheated on by his girlfriend and got dumped hard, yet his attitude was like he had no trouble with women at all…

Far from grieving, he was worried whether I was getting harassed by Akai and the others…

I am not going to get bound by such obvious kindness…

Absolutely…

That was when I firmly resolved. My smartphone went ping♪ and notified me of a new message.

Nezha
《I’d be happy if you can help with rehab tomorrow》

Shinobu
《Yeah! I’ll definitely help! Looking forward to it》

Sent!

Huh!?

I got happy from his message and replied genuinely, not acting…

Unforgivable! Stealing a ninja like me’s maiden heart secretly!!!
