Note: A sequel that takes place 30 years after the Horror Series: The Dead One.
Every once a red moon is form. A spree of disappearances and murders takes place in the summer of ikebukuro. The streets are no longer safe. A young man must embark on a...
The streets of Ikebukuro were as busy as usual. There were many people on the streets walking around.
Some were chatting to their friends.
Parents who were looking after their children taking them to check out the sites.
Some businessmen and women were on their phones.
Then there's me....
The boy in the blue hood with the butterfly symbol on the back that covered my short black hair and blue eyes.
I was making my way over to Otome Road.
It was located near the immediate west of Sunshine City near Ikebukuro station. It's a small area to a larger commerical district. There on Otome Road, there were Animate Cafes and K-Book Cosplay Stores.
Basically, it was a place where Otakus could call their sanctuary.
Since it was a major shopping center and cultural center (although it was mostly aimed for woman...), The reason why I'm there is because I want to check out some shonen JUMP magazines.
I don't want to miss any latest manga that's coming out...
Although the dumb negative thoughts filled my mind, I can just hope to avoid any trouble while I'm there...
The last thing I need is some shady person coming after me and ruin my day.
It's been two weeks since school had ended for summer break. Once I go back, I'll be in my third year of high school.
As much as I want to enjoy my summer break in isolation. There were still the entrance exams I will have to worry about later.
While people say high school is full of new experiences, many of which can cause students stress, junior year has a reputation as the most stressful of the of high school.
But surprisedly, I had no trouble during my junior year....
It's senior year I'm more worried about...
Urgh...
Enough about school...
Just thinking about it brings an ugly pit to my stomach.
Let me just get to Otome Road. Buy the magazines and I want...then go home...
.....
-Later-
"Thank You! Come Again!"
The lady at the front desk shouted at me with a small smile. Since I was a regular. She did know who I was despite wearing my blue hoodie over my jet black hair.
I started carrying my bag of shonen JUMP Magazines and manga I've recently brought and begin to head home.
Once I gotten back on the streets, there were less people now.
A few were still around but it was all I need to make my disappearance.
I felt relief. No problems coming my way.
"HELP!"
....Or so I thought....
"Hey! Don't shout! We just want to talk to ya!"
I turned my head, to see two large men who seem to be harassing a girl...
The girl who looked about my age...maybe a little younger had black hair like I did...except her was longer and hime-cut. She had black eyes and light skin.

In other words...she just look plain...
The only thing out of the ordinary about her...was her outfit...
She was wearing maid clothes...
Me: (Is she getting off from work or is she cosplaying...?)
A part of me couldn't help but scoff at the girl for putting herself in that position. As the girl put on an uncomfortable look as the one of the men puts his arm around her shoulder.
Hey girl...you can only blame yourself for walking outside alone at night and dressing up like that.
In a crazy city like this, of course you're going to get unwanted attention.
Guy #1: Hey, you're pretty cute~! How about you go on a date with one of us~!
Guy #2: Or would you prefer both of us~?
Girl: N-No thank you! I'm not interested!
Guy #1: Oh come on! I can assure you we're not bad people.
Yeah right...in the girl's eyes. You both look like faceless thugs in sleazy outfits. Also, to this day, it's still wrong trying to gloom minors.
Girl: But still...I'm not-!
The girl stopped talking before she looked over at me.
Oh...?
Oh no...
She made a smile at me.
Don't you dare...!
Don't you dare try to make me play the hero here.
I am not the answer to all your troubles here!
Pick someone else!
That damsel in distress routine is annoyingly ludicrous and overrated!
.....
She begins walking over to me in a hurry...making the two goons follow her.
Girl: Master, thank you for waiting for me~~~!
The two goons glared at me.
.....
OH GODDAMNIT!!!
-OMAKE-
Shouta: So this is 30 years in the future? Where am I now?
Kuro: Old or dead. Take your pick.
Shouta: I cannot be that old...
Kuro: Urusai(Shut up). You have to be at least 40 or something older by now.
Shouta: *Pouts* Even after all these years. You still haven't changed it all, you short prick.
