I teach kendo in Tokyo

Ikeda spent the afternoon in complete chaos. When he walked out of the school gate, he felt like a lonely ghost.

He had no goals and nothing to do, so he let the inertia push him on the way to the game center.

It wasn't until he got to the game center that he remembered that he didn't have much money to play Pachinko now.

In the past, he, Miura and the others would buy a basket of steel balls at once and sit in front of Pachinko for an entire afternoon.

Ikeda Shigeru could only turn to a nearby park. After spending all their money on Pachinko with Miura and the others, they would go to this park to share the remaining cigarettes, brag and talk about girls.

Sometimes there will be a violinist practicing in the park, which is one of the few opportunities in Ikeda's life to get up close and personal with "art."

Miura and the others would stare at the violinist's breasts and discuss how many men she had.

At such times, Shigeru Ikeda would just lean on the back of the bench and look at the blue sky and white clouds to the sound of the piano.

The violinist didn't come today, and there were fewer people in the park than usual, probably because Golden Week had just ended and everyone was diving into the work accumulated during the holiday.

Shigeru Ikeda sat on the usual bench and looked up at the sky.

The sky is blue, as always.

He suddenly remembered the lines from Takakura Ken's "The Hunt": "Go forward, don't look both ways, and you will melt into the blue sky."

Now, he suddenly wanted to try to melt into the blue sky.

He remembered his boss's advice when he was getting a haircut.

"You were a delinquent in school, then became a bosozou, and finally joined the Yakuza as the lowest-level gangster. Although you are a heinous bastard, even though you may die at any time, and after your death, everyone will applaud and celebrate. But you will be happy until you die.”

Shigeru Ikeda couldn't help but wonder, had he made the wrong choice?

Can I just live like garbage in this life?

At this time, Ikeda suddenly realized that he was surrounded.

The leader was Onishi from Nange whom they met yesterday.

He was still holding the metal bat from yesterday, with a mocking smile on his face: "Hey, look who this is! He's our prodigal son! Someone told me today that I can beat someone who won't resist here. Man, I still don’t believe it.”

"Onishi!" Ikeda stood up and clenched his fists, "The good thing you did yesterday caused me to lose my job!"

"You can't blame me for that." Onishi snickered, "Think about all the bad things you have done and how many criminal records you have left in the police station! If you ask me, if the convenience store will hire you, you are all blind. Eye!

"We are just helping the store manager make up for his mistakes."

"Damn it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, how can a good citizen talk like this? This is the way we bad boys talk! You bastard, don't just follow us!" Onishi said, swinging the bat hard and hitting Ikeda Shigeru on the left side of his face. superior.

Shigeru Ikeda was furious and punched to fight back, but Onishi's people rushed up from behind and restrained his hands.

"You actually want to hit me? Huh? Is this what you would do as a good citizen?"

Onishi used the bat as a battering ram and hit Shigeru Ikeda directly in the stomach.

Shigeru Ikeda almost vomited out his overnight meal.

At this moment, he remembered the time when he was beaten by his father after drinking when he was a child.

Dad always hits his stomach because if there are easily visible injuries on his face and arms, the teacher will notify NGOs and child protection agencies.

Dad is very experienced, and he can beat Shigeru Ikeda almost to the point of vomiting out his entrails every time, without leaving any obvious scars.

The childhood memories flashed away, and what faced Shigeru Ikeda was the cold reality.

Onishi swung the bat again and hit it on the chest. This time, Ikeda almost lost his breath.

Onishi laughed loudly: "Aren't you very good at fighting? Aren't you the mighty Gurashi? I heard that you are also attracted by the Tsuda group? You will soon become an official Wakazu? I think you are bragging!" "

Shigeru Ikeda tried his best to raise his head and glared at Onishi with a vicious look, which contained pure murderous intent.

"Hey, who told you to look at me like this? This is not the look a law-abiding citizen should have!"

The bat flew up as he spoke, hitting Shigeru Ikeda hard on the head.

He was beaten until he fainted, and it took him a few seconds to wake up, but his brain was running drowsily and the vision of his eyes was completely blurred - and then he discovered that what blurred his vision was the blood flowing from his forehead.

In his red-stained vision, he saw his mother put on a coat, carefully covering the scars left by his father's beating, and then turned to face him with an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, Maojun, I'm sorry, my mother can't bear it anymore. If she doesn't run away, she will be killed by that person. I'm sorry, Maojun, promise my mother, a man will not shed tears easily, no matter what happens, he will Hold on."

Then the woman whose face was blurred and was called "Mom" just turned around and left, walking further and further away.

"Mom..." Shigeru Ikeda subconsciously shouted.

This made the delinquents surrounding him burst into laughter.

Some people looked at him and shouted heartbreakingly: "Mom~"

Onishi spat on Ikeda Shigeru and said contemptuously: "Gushi's invincible captain is just a brat who hasn't even weaned off his breasts yet! Talking about the prodigal son turning back, I think you were frightened that day in the Tsuda group Courage! I’m scared and have to back off!

"Just wait and see, after I cripple you here, I will immediately go and beat down the guy who dismantled the Tsuda group! I heard that he is a high school student like us, and he doesn't kill anyone, huh , a guy like this is the most suitable to become a stepping stone for my legend in Onishi!"

Ikeda Shigeru raised his head with difficulty and glared at Onishi: "You are not allowed to..."

Onishi hit Shigeru Ikeda on the head with another bat.

"How about it? This is a gift for the prodigal son who has turned around. Do you still like it?" Daxi shouted, "It's so funny. If you're scared, you're scared! Cowards should be stepped on! Go and ask, Who would believe that a rotten person like you would turn around?"

At this moment, a voice cut through the cheers of the delinquents and said loudly: "I believe it."

The bad boys turned their heads together.

Shigeru Ikeda used his last strength to turn his head in the direction of the sound.

The speaker's face was against the light and could not be seen clearly, but Shigeru Ikeda knew that it was his guide, his master, and the white moonlight that guided him.

That's his hero.

Kiryu Kazuma repeated what he just said loudly: "I believe he really intends to change his mind and become a good person."

The moment he heard this, Ikeda Shigeru burst into tears.
