Because of Hoshi, Seiji tried to persuade the two girls in front of him.
?
Of course, he didn't know if he would succeed, but he had to do it.
Of course, he could ignore Hoshi's pleas and use the anger he felt from the pitiful scene he saw before loading to viciously attack the twin sisters!
But that was nothing more than self-satisfaction from ignoring his friend's feelings.
Seiji's anger was born from Hoshi, and because of Hoshi, he left some leeway.
He thought that Hoshi's gentleness was foolish, but this idiot was a friend he acknowledged! That was why he would respect Hoshi.
Seiji respected his friend's request and acted accordingly. As for whether or not his actions would be able to achieve the result he wanted, that was another matter entirely. He didn't know, nor could he guarantee, what the final outcome would be.
Rion and Kotomi Amami's hearts wavered slightly upon hearing Harano Seigo's direct question.
Yes, wavered.
It wasn't that they hadn't considered what would happen if they continued living like this.
After all, they were smart people … even idiots would look forward to the future, so of course smart people would imagine the future as well, and their imaginations would be more realistic and concrete.
The future of the two of them … seemed to be very beautiful, just as beautiful as before.
But was that true?
Would they really never have to pay the price for what they had done?!
Proud and conceited, they were certain that it wouldn't happen.
But the last shred of reason they had left quietly told them in the depths of their hearts.
It was possible.
After all, they couldn't control the entire world, and there would always be uncontrollable events.
And that day … they didn't want to or dare to imagine it. Deep in their hearts, they were incredibly afraid that the "one day" where they would have to pay the price would be an uncontrollable possibility!
The Sword of Damocles.
The sharp sword that hung above their heads, and they didn't know when it would stab them.
They had always been living in this shadow.
Because of this, the twins had never committed a crime that would result in them being punished … not because they cared about others, but because they wanted to protect themselves.
"Let's turn back before it's too late," Seiji said calmly.
"Destroy all the blackmail material, and stop doing such evil things. Sincerely repent, release others, and release yourselves."
Rion and Kotomi remained silent.
They wavered in silence, and in silence …
"You want to convince us with just these words?"
He didn't call the other half by name.
"You underestimate us too much, Harano and Seigo!"
This meant that they had finally dropped all pretense.
Even Gemini herself couldn't remember when was the last time she talked to someone so sincerely.
Seiji kept looking at them.
"Then what should I do to convince you?"
"You can't do it!" The two sisters said together.
"If you don't say it, how do you know I can't do it?" Seiji was still calm.
"Of course, there's no need for ridiculous requests like running around naked, singing, dancing, or jumping off the roof. I'm talking to you seriously."
Rion and Kotomi Amami were speechless.
What the other party said was as if he was deliberately presenting himself in front of them, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
This is impossible, there must be some kind of scheme involved!
But what could there be?
The two sisters used their best observation skills to look at each other, but they couldn't see anything amiss.
Harano and Seigo were facing each other in such a straightforward manner!
How were they supposed to defeat someone like this?
Scheming was their best method, and it was what they were most skilled at, but it was difficult for them to use it right now. Besides, Seiji had incredible eyesight, and any clumsy scheme would definitely be seen through.
In that case, they could only change directions.
Rion and Kotomi Amami exchanged glances with each other, and as usual, they communicated wordlessly.
"Harano and Seigo, your nickname is' Destroyer of Clubs. '
"I don't know if this legendary name is still suitable for the karate club."
"If you can defeat every member of the karate club by yourself …"
"Then we'll seriously consider your request!"
The two sisters said this with rare calmness.
Logically speaking, this was nonsense, and no one would agree to it.
But Harano and Seigo were no ordinary people.
The tall boy narrowed his eyes.
"One person against all of them … How many people are in your karate club?"
"Including us, there are forty-seven people in total."
"Forty-seven people … Will it be one-on-one?"
"No!" The twin sisters' eyes were icy cold. "We'll decide the number of people you'll face each time!"
Harano and Seigo had incredible stamina, and even if he was an amateur, it was still possible for him to defeat all forty-odd people in a one-on-one fight!
Even if the possibility was low … they still had to be on guard.
If they decided on the number of people to fight, they could make arrangements based on the situation, such as using a small number of people to exhaust his stamina, or using a large number of people to finish him off in one go!
Of course, even if Harano was confident in himself, he would still retort upon hearing such unfavorable conditions.
"That won't do."
See, as expected.
"There has to be a limit to the number of people I can face each time! Otherwise, if all of you fight at once, it'll be nothing more than a farce. "
Harano made a reasonable retort.
"Then, we'll send ten people at most," the twins replied, having expected this.
"Ten people … are we going to have fun playing soccer together? At most three people, that's what I'm willing to accept. "
"We can't accept this!" the twins said. "We need at least eight people!"
A moment of silence fell between them.
Harano and Seigo sighed.
"Five people … that's already the number of people on a basketball team, and this isn't basketball."
Of course, the twins knew this.
Hand-to-hand combat was basically a fight; one more person or one less person would make all the difference.
Just like in the movies, it was almost impossible for one person to win against a group of people in a grand fashion!
Amateurs might have the misconception that it was possible to achieve such a feat with great stamina or techniques, but professionals knew that in a situation where there wasn't much of a difference in body size, there was no weapon, and there was no room to maneuver around. Fighting one against many was basically suicide!
Harano and Seigo indeed had great stamina, but as for whether or not he had any fighting techniques or experience … they didn't know. Even if he was an expert in some sort of fighting technique, these were all genuine karate club members!
Fighting one against five was indeed the limit of what an ordinary person could do.
But Rion and Kotomi Amami weren't satisfied.
Harano and Seigo were strong! They repeatedly told themselves that they couldn't underestimate him in the slightest!
"Seven people … that's what we insist on!" the twins said in unison.
Harano's face was expressionless.
He remained silent for a long while.
Just as the twins thought that he would say something else, he sighed again.
"Alright, it seems like I'll have to risk my life …
"But I still have something to say.
"'Consider it seriously …' I don't want such a frivolous promise.
If I win, I want you to give up everything you've ever done in the dark, and turn over a new leaf! "
The tall boy stared intently at the girls' faces.
"And if I can't do it … then do whatever you want. As long as you keep your promise, I'll do whatever you want."
Another sense of pressure appeared!
Rion and Kotomi Amami felt an unparalleled pressure. That pair of eyes staring directly at them was filled with power.
Harano Seigo was serious!
He was completely serious about the extraordinary challenge they had proposed. He was going to defeat the entire karate club with his own strength, even at the cost of facing off against multiple opponents!
As expected, he was a monster … both in body and mind … a demon.
Rion and Kotomi Amami were conflicted as they faced Seigo's overwhelming aura.
Should they accept?
There was still room for them to take back their words … but was it just a misconception? It felt like if they went back on their word here … something terrible would happen?
The twins' thoughts seemed to freeze under the pressure of Seigo's aura.
They couldn't think of anything they'd thought of before, nor could they come up with any new plans.
This wouldn't do … should they refuse?
But at this moment, Rion and Kotomi Amami saw a trace of … pity in the silent boy's eyes.
'I've already compromised to such an extent, and you still don't dare to accept my challenge directly?' 'How pitiful of you to be such a coward.'
They felt like they could hear him saying that.
Pity was sometimes a form of contempt, and it was even more hurtful than normal contempt.
The twins' pride and conceit made it impossible for them to accept such a bone-deep insult!
