Prologue
Part 1
It was early summer.
Sakamaki Izayoi was enjoying the sweet fragrance of early summer at
the riverbank. Admiring the sun, he muttered to himself "Ah, found a dark
spot. Maybe the sun really is entering a glacial period."
His motto was "The heavens did not create man above myself" and he
seemed to prefer global warming to global cooling.
He had no inclination to go to school, so instead he tried to think of ways
to play around at the riverbank while still wearing a uniform, but any he
could think of would be embarrassing if seen by strangers. And if he were
to be seen by someone he knew, they would end up pointing a finger at
his back afterwards for sure.
"There's gotta be something fun going on."
Taking off his headphones, he heard the voices of a group of delinquents
standing around wearing long coats with "Fighting Spirit" written on them.
In the middle, there was a boy being beaten up by them, and forced to
kneel and apologize.
"Hey, this is terrific, this guy is really crying. Disgusting, let's throw him
into the river to get him clean."
"Then let's make him jump in butt naked, with both his hands and legs
tied up!"
"Hiii.....!"
The boy was trembling in a squatting position. Sakamaki Izayoi slowly sat
up and started talking to the group that wa as
s still kicking and hitting the
boy a few dozen meters away.
"Aaah, I'm bored. Really bored. If I could sell my boredom, I'm confident I
could make a living. Hey, dumb looking fools over there, how about you
provide me some entertainment and I will reward you with a nice long-
term vacation at the hospital."
"Come on, take off your clothes fast and jump into the river already!"
"Let's at least tie his hands together. As long as his legs are free, he
won't die."
"Help me.....Help me....Help me...."
