Ichiko's execution power was very strong; whenever she had an idea, as long as no other important matters hindered her, she would act on it.
Just like now.
After settling Haruko, she immediately took the bus without stopping.
Her destination was her former high school.
To be precise, it was a household in a messy alley near the high school.
In the evening, Lala was sitting in the dilapidated small house, limping, typing something on her phone, her face extremely grim.
"Haruko, Ichiko... I'll make you pay sooner or later!"
She gnashed her teeth in resentment and looked at the gloomy follower kneeling to the side.
She grabbed her hair, "You worthless servant, why didn't you help me in the room just now?"
The girl was forced to look up, her face covered in scar after scar. She gritted her teeth, her body trembling, unable to speak.
Seeing this, Lala angrily slapped her in frustration and cursed, "Useless!"
"You're going to Haru's place in a bit, right? Remember to tell that guy to call everyone. I'm going to kill those two sluts the day after tomorrow... no, tomorrow!"
She clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking.
She had over a dozen delinquents under her command, plus two sisters. With forty or fifty people rushing over, no matter how strong Ichiko was alone, could she beat so many people?
Having been slapped, the follower seemed used to it. Instead of getting angry, she weakly said, "We can't beat Ichiko."
"Boosting others' morale and dampening your own?"
Lala's face twisted. She simply kicked the follower aside, stood up, and angrily said, "If Haruko hadn't gone crazy just now and startled me, I would have had a go at her!"
Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
A delinquent girl wearing a tattered leather jacket burst in, "No... this is bad, boss! Ichiko is here to fight!"
"What?!"
Lala shot up from her seat but gasped in pain because she twisted her leg.
She quickly asked this subordinate, "How did Ichiko get here? We're at least an hour's drive from Kyushu University, right?"
"I don't know, sis!" the subordinate cried, "She... she seems to be here for revenge! We're all adults in university now, why is she risking her life?!"
Lala swallowed.
Revenge...
She's here to get revenge for Haruko!
Run?
This is her home, her base camp. If she ran now, what would the other two sisters think?
Lala took a deep breath, her eyes turning fierce. "Go gather all the sisters. Ichiko is just one person. Can she beat over a dozen of us?"
"Today, I'm definitely going to challenge her!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the room door was gently pushed open, and a cold voice slowly sounded, "Oh? Is that so?"
"Ichiko!"
The messenger subordinate exclaimed in surprise. After looking her up and down and seeing she was completely unharmed, he closed his eyes and fainted.
Ichiko glanced at the subordinate and said indifferently, "Get out. I'm only here for Lala today."
The subordinate, who had already fainted, immediately opened his eyes wide, gave Ichiko a sheepish smile, and scrambled out the door.
Only Lala and her follower remained in the room.
The latter shrank into the corner, her bangs covering her eyes, watching Ichiko curiously.
As for Lala, she gritted her teeth and questioned Ichiko, "What do you mean?"
"What, you just hit Haruko, and now you're pretending to be innocent?"
Ichiko's face was cold. Her purpose for coming here was simple.
It was to get justice for Haruko.
Or to be more direct, revenge!
If it weren't for today's incident, she wouldn't even have known that Haruko had been bullied by this person for three years.
"Looks like you haven't learned enough from high school, huh?"
Lala gritted her teeth, her tone resentful. "I just said, I didn't do anything to Haruko. At most, I punched her once. I didn't do anything else!"
After speaking, she pointed to her bandaged leg. "Even this was poked by Haruko!"
Ichiko looked at her as if she were an idiot. "Do you think I'd believe that? I can tell at a glance that your injury was an accident when Haruko resisted. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Lala widened her eyes.
In that situation, she was clearly the victim!
Lala finally understood. Ichiko didn't care about the so-called truth at all; she was here for her own revenge.
Could she still run?
No chance at all!
Lala took a deep breath, no longer afraid. Instead, she stood directly in front of Ichiko and said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, let's settle it with our fists. Don't think I'm really afraid of you!"
After Lala finished speaking, she suddenly lowered her stance.
"Don't think I'm still that clueless little delinquent from high school. I've learned a few moves from my brother who's involved in the underworld. Ichiko, just die!"
She immediately performed a set of military boxing moves on the spot.
It was truly fierce and imposing, full of momentum.
"Ichiko, die!"
She took a step forward!
"Bang—!"
And then she was knocked down by Ichiko with one punch.
Lala squatted on the ground, covering her face, her head ringing.
"That's it?"
Ichiko grabbed her sleeve and pulled her up. "You messed around for three years in high school and are still in this dilapidated place in university. If it weren't for today's incident, I really wouldn't have known you've been bullying Haruko for so long!"
Lala said aggrievedly, "Forget about before, she was clearly bullying me today!"
"Still being stubborn?"
Ichiko didn't hold back and immediately delivered a combination of punches.
Completely beating Lala until tears and snot flowed.
The latter's yellow hair was already dirty. She cried out loudly, "If I tell you, you don't believe me, and if I don't tell you, you think I'm stubborn. What can I do? At first, she asked me to repay the money, and I didn't want to, so I punched her. Who knew she would suddenly go crazy!"
Lala was also scared from the beating. She said whatever came to mind, her voice choked and aggrieved. "She kept saying something about being the victim and then something about yandere. I felt like she was going to kill me at the time. Why don't you believe me?!"
Where was the spiritedness she had just moments ago?
But Ichiko genuinely stopped because of these words.
She frowned deeply, her face puzzled. "You just said that Haruko mentioned something about yandere?"
Lala wiped away a tear and nodded. "At that time, she was straddling me, fiddling with that knife and talking to herself. I told you, but you don't believe me. You kept beating me and telling me to tell the truth. Are you even human?!"
Ichiko scratched her cheek, a hint of guilt instinctively flashing in her heart.
But on second thought, this person committed all sorts of evil deeds, so she didn't need to feel guilty at all.
Right now, there was something more important.
So she grabbed her collar and said fiercely, "Tell me everything that happened in the room, from beginning to end!"
Haruko was a yandere, she knew that.
But what puzzled her was why Haruko would voluntarily mention the word "yandere"?
Since she herself was aware of what a yandere was, could she still be a yandere?
She vaguely felt that what happened to Haruko was far from as simple as she thought.
