[AllTakemichi] Control

Chapter 2

Kisaki's initial plan had been to use Mobius to pressure Pachin, triggering a conflict between the two sides. In this incident, Pa had stabbed Osanai, providing Kisaki with the opportunity to take over the Third Division captain position. Later, he had utilized Kiyomasa's hatred to kill Draken and secure the No. 2 position in Touman.

Although Takemichi had prevented Draken's death in the previous encounter, he couldn't stop Kisaki from infiltrating Touman. If Kisaki hadn't infiltrated Touman, Baji wouldn't have become a spy at Valhalla. To prevent Baji's death, it's not just about stopping Kazutora, but Takemichi also needs to find a way for Mikey to forgive him. Baji had sacrificed himself for that forgiveness, so what could Takemichi do to ensure Mikey forgave Kazutora and brought him back to his senses? This part is truly complex.

Firstly, preventing Pachin from stabbing Osanai is impossible since Kisaki manipulates the situation to instigate a gang war one way or another. However, if Pachin isn't arrested, then it's difficult for Kisaki to win Mikey's favor and enter Touman.

Takemichi remembers the reason for the conflict was that Mobius had harmed Pachin's friend and that friend's girlfriend. Kisaki, the despicable person, had ruined a girl's life just for a gang war. Takemichi had heard about the injuries and the suffering of her parents, truly horrifying. So, this time, he wants to help her. Recalling the time and place, it's been quite a while.

Suddenly, Takemichi's head throbs. Recently, he feels disoriented and has strange dreams, strange voices echoing in his head. This makes waking up each morning exhausting, and he even forgets his hair gel to go to school. On the way, he meets Hinata, who compliments him on being such a good student today, getting to school early. Each time she praises him, he feels embarrassed, whether he's 14 or 26, he scratches his head and chuckles.

"Hmm, Takemichi-kun isn't styling your hair today?"

"Haha, I'm too tired to do it, does it not look cool without styling?"

"No, Takemichi-kun looks cool for Hina whether you style your hair or not."

Takemichi feels delighted inside. Hina-chan, you're indeed an angel.

But no matter what, he still feels exhausted. He collapses on his desk as soon as he gets to school; the whole lesson feels uncomfortable because of the voices in his head. Still feeling unease, he suddenly hears a commotion.

"Where are you guys from, barging into our school like this?"

"Hey! Hey!"

Hmm, this scene seems familiar again.

"Oh, Mikey, he's here!" Draken appears at the classroom door, intimidating everyone with his massive figure like a middle school student's version of a titan. Draken is even taller than the classroom door.

"Hey, Takemitchy, let's go hang out!" Mikey appears with a cheerful voice inviting him.

Takemichi quickly goes out, and the scene of the three third-year students lying scattered in the hallway reappears. It's really pitiful. Then everyone looks at the three.

"Wait, Takemichi knows Mikey from Touman? Unbelievable!"

"Wow, even our school has someone awesome, right?"

"Speak quietly, you idiot."

They chat and look at him with admiration, while Draken is making the three third-years line up like a row of mats for them to step on. Oh my god!

"Takemichi seems like we forgot to tell you that we're from Touman, huh?"

Takemichi walks into the empty space next to the "human mats" and hears the painful cries of that "mats" as Draken suddenly asks him.
