Chapter 377 Malice
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Yanagi’s body was as good as Uzaki Hana’s, but she was taller and even younger—a real, top-level schoolgirl.
Maybe she was trying to be less noticeable, but she used the hair on her forehead to cover her eyes, hiding more than half of her nice face.
People who did not know better would think she was a quiet-type schoolgirl, but in reality, her personality was very lively, and she even liked to talk about others; however, she only showed this side to those she was close to.
In Aki’s memory, he remembered that Yanagi and Kiri liked to play video games, but he could not remember the details.
Thinking about Kiri’s gender and age, he quickly bought a few of the newest games as gifts.
Hmm, if the game systems did not match, then that just meant he already had the perfect idea for the next gift.
He then bought some small snacks that young people liked, made sure the two gift packages looked the same, and decided that they could just pick by chance—if they got it wrong, they could just trade them themselves later.
Aki’s ‘social skill’ made Mr. Fujio very happy. Along with his great looks, this father who spent years going to the gym was already mostly convinced.
But for him to be completely relaxed just from this was, of course, impossible. At the very least, he needed to watch Aki’s words and actions a bit more.
Compared to the old father, Yanagi and Kiri were won over by this ‘future brother-in-law’ almost right away.
The special pull of Aki’s looks and spirit was just the strongest draw for a young girl about to fall in love for the first time.
Even though she knew very well that Aki was her sister’s boyfriend, Yanagi still could not stop her heart from beating fast.
She was actually quite like her mother—she liked to imagine things and had seen some ‘not allowed’ content from various stories.
If it were not for her long bangs doing a good job of hiding her face changes, it was likely that everyone there, except for the most unaware Kiri, would have noticed something was wrong right away.
Kiri was simpler; finding a girlfriend was his dream, and middle school students were full of longing for high school students. Seeing the handsome and capable (rich) Aki, he was just one step away from saying ‘idol.’
”Oh, almost forgot to introduce myself.” Aki said, keeping a calm tone.
After giving out the gifts, Aki finally remembered: he knew everyone in the Uzaki family and even knew their jobs and likes, but they did not know anything about him at all.
Uzaki Hana might have said some things, but about Aki, except for the things that could not be talked about—like various stories about him dating many women or his habit of putting bad men in the hospital—she did not actually know much.
”Uesugi Aki. Please, just call me by my name. I am a second-year at Kuoh Academy, same grade as Hana. My parents went abroad for work a long time ago, and I have been living with Aunt Takamine.”
”Fujio, Hana’s father. I see you work as a fitness teacher. I see your body is quite good; do you have any interest in working out…” Mr. Fujio said, his voice having a slight, strong edge.
Aki smiled without speaking. If he were to take off his shirt, his muscles would definitely make Mr. Fujio feel bad about his own.
His muscles were not the too big kind, but his shape, formed by the Martial Way (a path of physical training), was the perfect example of a golden ratio—one that was also very in tune with the mysterious rules of heaven and earth.
Luckily, Mr. Fujio’s place in the house was only a little higher than Kiri’s. Mrs. Tsuki ignored his constant talking and said: “Mr. Aki, hurry over and sit. Hana should have introduced us to you already, so I will skip the formalities.”
Uzaki Hana and Yanagi immediately led Aki to the sofa in the living room, one on each side.
The ignored Mr. Fujio finally closed his mouth shyly and followed them over with Kiri.
Aki sat on the sofa talking with the Uzaki family. After getting comfortable, Kiri felt a need to open his gift, but was stopped by a look from Mrs. Tsuki.
Aki actually did not mind if they opened the gifts right there, but the Uzaki parents were more concerned; they worried it would make Aki think they were just interested in the gifts.
The character of the Uzaki family was perfect; Mr. Fujio was also a known good man in the fitness community.
However, often this kind of goodness is exactly what attracts bad people.
After a nice dinner, Aki politely said no to Mr. Fujio’s offer to walk him out and slowly disappeared under the streetlights around the corner by himself.
”So it really has changed, has it?” Aki said quietly, his voice cold and analytical.
Aki did not leave the Uzaki house right away. From the moment he walked out the front door, he felt like he was being watched.
It was already past nine at night. In this living area, except for workers (people who work too much) working late, there should not be anyone else walking around outside with nothing better to do.
Yet, after walking around, he found several young men spread out in the nearby area.
Even though these people were hiding it well, Aki could still clearly feel the bad intent in the bottom of their hearts.
The three women in the Uzaki family were top-level beauties. It was perfectly normal for people to want them; they were sure to meet rude men (men who make bad comments) every time they went out.
But clearly, the goals of these people went beyond that. Also, from his earlier talk at dinner with Kiri and Mr. Fujio, Aki realized that even bigger changes were happening.
First was Kiri. During dinner, he complained more than once that his friends kept wanting him to help introduce his sisters to them. One of them even thought his mother was great, saying he hoped to have a mother like that too.
At that time, when Mrs. Tsuki heard this, she covered her face with her hand, acting shy while secretly feeling quite proud inside.
Then, seeing Kiri’s look of disgust and speechlessness, she quickly changed her face and said: “What? Do you think your classmate is wrong?”
As the one with the lowest place in the house, Kiri quickly nodded in agreement, making Mr. Fujio and the Uzaki sisters laugh out loud.
After the laughter stopped, the Uzaki family pushed the matter to the back of their minds.
The boys who were quite close to the Uzakis all knew the family. The three mother-daughter beauties were naturally going to start thoughts in the minds of teenage boys.
The Uzaki sisters especially—though there was an age difference, it was not huge. Those boys had not stopped trying to please Kiri, begging him to make introductions.
Therefore, this event had not caught the attention of the Uzaki family, and even Kiri himself had just said it as a casual complaint.
It seemed that because they were talking about friends, Mr. Fujio had said in passing that some friends from the gym wanted to come over for a visit.
The exact time had not been set yet, but this time there might be quite a few people coming, so he would have to trouble Mrs. Tsuki to work a little harder and prepare more food.
His friends rarely visited the house, though it was not unheard of, so he had not taken it seriously.
Unlike the Uzaki family, Aki had read all kinds of grown-up stories. The gym, naturally, needed no explanation—it was a common place for such events, though usually, the main man was the fitness teacher himself.
But if the place changed to the fitness teacher’s home, and that teacher had a very beautiful wife, and the guests were a group of strong fitness men with great energy…
Aki did not want to think more. Not only did he have the mental bonus of beating the fitness teacher, but the situation also fit the classic story of ‘taking turns’ and ‘going into the boss’s home to have his beautiful wife.’
Kiri’s situation was much the same.
With a very beautiful mother and sisters at home, yet unable to find a girlfriend himself, he spent time with a group of equally high-energy boys.
And then, those boys set their eyes on his family, and following that were various plans to reach their goals…
Aki was not sure if the bad effects of his own ‘ability’ went to people he had not even met yet, or if this would have happened to the Uzaki family even without him showing up.
He was already involved, however. Thinking about the worst case and being fully ready was always the right move.
Under the cover of the dark night, Aki destroyed all the men around the Uzaki house who were giving off bad intent.
For this, he even temporarily released his power to use Azure Flame (a powerful blue fire).
He did not hold back this time. For these people who had found the Uzaki home, even without the effect of bad things, they were social bad people who deserved death.
If they were tricked into opening the door, even with Mr. Fujio being a strong fitness teacher, with four ‘useless people’ to protect, he would be no match for three or more delinquents (bad young men who steal girlfriends).
That was assuming a fair, fist fight.
If the delinquents brought weapons and started a surprise attack, Mr. Fujio might not even be able to beat one.
Since these people chose to use force, they were likely carrying weapons and would use the very bad methods to reach their goal as fast as possible.
For the next few days, Aki secretly protected the three Uzaki women, solving about a dozen delinquents in total.
However, those who chose to hide by the door in the middle of the night were actually few—except for the first group, about one in ten people was like that.
Most of the people with bad plans would make rude comments at them while they were out on the road, or try to use Kiri and Mr. Fujio to reach their goals.
