When an Oblivious Handsome Older Man Went Back in Time and Was Building Harlem - Chapter 8
When I opened the shower room door, the voices were clearly audible. The structure of the women’s shower room was the same as the men’s, so I was able to proceed without hesitation.
“No!! Don’t touch me! Stop it!! Someone!!”
“Hehe, no one is coming, so let’s enjoy this moment. You… Nanami-chan will be violated by me. And this will remain in Nanami-chan’s memory forever.”
I can hear the girl who was screaming, probably a girl named Nanami-chan, and a man’s voice. I’m glad I trusted my instincts and proceeded to the innermost private room in the shower area. Since it would be problematic if they stopped their actions before I arrived, I move as quietly as possible, suppressing my presence and footsteps.
I prepare my smartphone camera just three doors away from the innermost room. I usually keep it in my locker during club activities, but today, for some reason, I took it out. That turned out to be a stroke of luck. I creep towards the innermost private room, ready the camera in my left hand, and with my right hand, I swing the door open forcefully.
“That’s enough!!!”
Taking continuous shots to capture evidence. The bra was pushed up, and the panties were only caught around the ankles. The body was covered in bruises, and the man’s genitals were rubbing against the girl’s, almost about to be inserted.
Given the extent of these bruises, I thought it would be possible to identify him, so I went to subdue the culprit. For now, I pried the man away from the girl and used the towel she had to tie his arms.
“Damn it, I was so close!! Why do you have to get in my way! You bastard, ugh, ugh,”
After tying up the arms, I also cover the noisy criminal’s mouth with a towel. For now, I’ll leave the criminal like this. Next is the girl’s care. First, since she’s almost naked, I take off the practice clothes I’m wearing and cover her body with them, trying not to look at her too much.
“It’s okay. I came to help.”
When I spoke gently to the girl as if she were a child, she seemed relieved and started to cry. It felt like she was saying, “What does a half-person man know?” but it was better than seeing her body. Her wrists and legs were tied in an M-shape, and I gently began to untie them. If I untied them suddenly, it could disrupt her blood circulation, so I had to be careful.
While I was untying the ropes that had bound me, I put on my blood-soaked and soaked training clothes again. I thought it was better to be wet and dressed than to be half-naked.
“It’s undone. You might not want to put it on since you’re facing backward, but I’d like you to wear something like underwear.”
I retrieve the rope and tie the perpetrator’s arms even more tightly over the towel I had used to bind him. I feel like I’ve seen the face of this rapist before, but honestly, I can’t remember who it is.
“Hic… to wear.”
When I turned around, there was a girl sitting there wearing my clothes. I hadn’t noticed earlier, but there were strands of hair scattered around her body, and I thought maybe her hair had been cut.
“Why are you wearing my practice clothes… but never mind. I’m going to call the police and the teachers now, so I think a lot of men will come. You might feel scared each time, but if I don’t call them now, I’ll let this rapist get away. I’ll also write a pledge that the photos I took won’t be leaked, but it might become a digital tattoo. Can you handle it?”
“…Yeah.”
“Okay, I’ll call you. You might not like it, but I want you to stay here for a bit.”
I decided to call the police, who would take some time to arrive. I explained the situation to them, took some photos, and informed them that the victim had many sexual and external injuries. They responded that they would come immediately.
Next, I called the staff room. I don’t think the school nurse is there anymore, but since the girls’ basketball advisor is a female teacher, there’s a slim chance a female teacher might still be there, so I will make the call.
“This is Takai Akihide, a second-year student. I called because there are a victim and perpetrator of rape on campus.”
The teacher who responded was the one in charge of the second-year Japanese language class, and they were about to turn sixty.
“Is it true? Do you recognize the culprit?”
“It’s true. I’ve seen the culprit before, but I can’t remember.”
“Science in 3rd Year.”
The girl murmured softly.
“The victim says it’s the science teacher for the third year. The police have already been notified and are on their way. The crime scene is the last private room in the women’s shower room on the second floor of the club building.”
“Got it. For now, when the police arrive, I’ll head over there, so please keep an eye on the female student who is the victim.”
“Understood. Excuse me.”
After finishing the conversation and hanging up, I face the victimized girl.
“I’m sorry for being late to help.”
Saying that and bowing her head, the girl hurriedly waved her hand.
“No, I’m okay, but you came right at the last moment. You’re my hero. …My name is Nitta Nanami. Hey, can you tell me your name?”
Even now, whenever the perpetrator man says something, her shoulders twitch every time he grunts. Her hands are still trembling too. I feel sorry for making that kid worry.
“My name is Takai Akihide. I’m not that great to be called a hero.”
As we were introducing ourselves to each other, the hallway started to get noisy. But the voices weren’t those of girls, it was a quiet group with only the sound of footsteps. I thought the police had come, but Nitta-san’s face twisted in fear, thinking it might be another rapist.
“Because I’m the police, it’s okay. Stay calm. Take a deep breath.”
“Deep breath…”
“Yes, inhale… exhale…”
Thanks to her breathing in and out with me, I managed to avoid hyperventilation. Then the police officers came over and took the perpetrator away. I had been trying to keep Nitta-san hidden in the shadows, but seeing so many large men again seemed to trigger her fear, and she started crying once more. Amidst all this, a female police officer approached us and spoke.
“You are the first witness and the victim, right? It’s already late today, so we’ll conduct the questioning another time. Let’s just exchange contact information for now. It must have been scary for you. And thank you for your courageous actions.”
After exchanging contact information, we were released, and Nitta-san contacted her parents to come pick her up.
“Takai-kun, thanks to you, I can remain a good person. Thank you so much.”
“Is it Takai-kun? …Takai-kun. You are my daughter’s benefactor. Please let me express my gratitude next time.”
After saying that, the Nitta family went home. I had completely forgotten about the club activities, so I received a lot of messages from the coach and Midori, but I informed them later that I was safe. Even though I helped on my own, I thought the questioning was a hassle.
