Chapter 43 Persuasion under the Moon
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
But..
Chihiro tries desperately to keep his hands strong and hold on. And this time he succeeded in pushing her down to the ground with a foot strike
*Thud*
He collapsed on the bare ground with Maria on the bottom. Maria’s full breasts are crushed and she lets out a small, painful breath
And it made Chihiro feel a faint sense of guilt
After all, even if it is a mutual agreement, it still hurts to hurt a girl. Even Kamishiro, who had fought Maria to the death, must have had that thought somewhere in his mind
But, if that is the case, there is a difference between Chihiro and Kamishiro
It’s not a compliment at all, but Chihiro is used to hurting girls. He’s even strangled Riko and Maria herself. Thanks to that, he feels sorry for them, but is somewhat less hesitant
And now, he put his weight on Maria’s body
He pulled her arms tightly and pushed her back so that they were crossed, and then he sat down on Maria’s butt, holding the intersection with his hands
”So, what do you think?”
…While calling out to Maria, Chihiro had a faint feeling of discomfort
Things are going strangely well
Even though he faced Maria, it seemed to be going too easily
Normally, she would have connected her first kick with another attack. The fact that she panicked when one of her arms was caught and tried to shake it off is also a little disconcerting
It would have been more effective to strike Chihiro with her free right hand without making a fuss
Maybe she’s not feeling well, or..
Maria’s voice interrupted his thoughts
”So what?”
Her voice sounded pained, but clear
”I’m not gonna tell you I’m give up, no matter what”
So that’s it
The only way to settle this is for Maria to say she gives up. So no matter what, if she doesn’t give in, she doesn’t lose. It’s not a match in class, so there’s no time limit, and with her self-healing ability, Maria doesn’t have to give up out of concern for her body
In effect, this is not a battle, but a contest of endurance
Maria had no intention of saying “I give up” from the start
The only way to get her to admit defeat was for Chihiro to show all his effort and determination
At any rate, the first obstacle has been cleared when he is able to successfully restrain her
*squeak* *squeak*
Since a while ago, Chihiro’s joints have been screaming faintly
The strain that Maria is feeling on her joints is being returned to Chihiro
The point is, the real battle starts here
Don’t let go of her arm, no matter what
”I’m not giving up until Maria says she’s give up”
”…You’re not going to win this one”
”I know”
But it’s the only way
He can’t think of any other way to beat Maria except by sheer force of will
Even if he screws her like he did to Riko, or threatens her with pictures. He doesn’t think that would give the girl a fatal shock
So, Chihiro continued to push Maria to the ground
For a few tens of seconds, a few minutes, a dozen minutes
It felt like a long time
The situation remained the same. Maria was still on the ground and Chihiro was still on top of her. The only thing that changed was Chihiro’s condition
His arms are numb and he’s starting to lose feeling
He’s using his legs to restrain Maria’s wrists, but it won’t be long before he loses consciousness from the pain
”Ugh…”
Hold on
Just bear it
Clenching his teeth, he desperately clings to the girl’s body
Suddenly..
”…Izumi-kun. Whatever it is, you stink. You can hold Nishizaki-san all you want, but if you’re going to meet people, at least take a shower”
(Is she harassing me?)
Maria said as if to throw up
It was true that neither Chihiro nor Riko had time to wash themselves properly because they had come straight from the private training room to this place
But she didn’t have to say it now
”…!”
”…Kuh…!?”
Just as he felt sadness in his heart, Maria moved
She twisted around hard, and when Chihiro hurriedly tried to gather his strength, he felt pain in his arms again
Then, with a snap
Chihiro was shaken off by Maria and fell to the ground
”Oh…”
He can’t get up
His arms are weak and his whole body feels sluggish
Still, he managed to move his legs and get up. But――
*creak*
A woman’s leather shoe stepped on Chihiro’s shoulder
”Aah…!”
He’s stomped
Maria stomps down on his shoulder. It might not have been a big stimulus in normal times, but now that both his arms are hurt, it was painful
”Give up!”
A cold voice echoed
His vision wobbled and he couldn’t see Maria’s face clearly
”No, no”
”…please, just give up”
”No”
And yet, he resisted with only his will..
”Then”
Maria’s feet leave his shoulders
Then, she stomps down on his right palm
”Gaaaaaah!”
Her stomp is relentlessly strong. The pain is so intense that Chihiro can feel his hand again, even though every nerve in his arm is used to feel the pain
Then his left hand stomped again
Right hand again. Left hand. Right hand
”Oh, uh…”
He doesn’t know what’s going on
His eyes were filled with tears and drool was leaking from his mouth. His eyes are blinking and he can’t see anything
”Then I’ll go. Go after me if you can”
It sounded like it was coming from far away
And that voice came from Maria
”Izumi!”
Riko comes running with a scream
As he felt it with his ears and skin, Chihiro thought
(Oh, no)
(Maria is going away)
(I’ve lost)
After that, Chihiro fainted and a single tear fell from his eye
☆ ☆ ☆
”Do you really want to die!?”
”…Nishizaki-san!”
After confirming that Chihiro was still breathing, Riko stood up again
She then stopped Maria in her tracks with her sharp voice
”Take care of Izumi-kun. I’m sure his body will heal after he sleeps, but he might not be able to eat for a while”
”…You”
A strange feeling crept into Riko’s chest, but she didn’t have time to find out why
Maria walked slowly out of the park
