I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo - Chapter 761: The Okinawa Assassin
The weather was nice, and it was all sunny, so it was impossible for rain to happen.
While Yumiko was confused about the wet thing, which dropped on her face, she didn’t put that matter on her mind that much.
The first day of their field trip finished, and the second day of their trip started.
Yumiko thought to visit a beach, buy various foods, or try many fun activities such as kayaking, diving, or others since this should be the last time for her to go on a trip with everyone. When she reached the third grade, there wouldn’t be any field trips since she had to face an exam. It was the same with everyone. She also didn’t have much to complain about since she also needed to think about her future and which universities she was going to choose for her future education.
Yes, she was going to continue with the university.
Even though she wasn’t sure what she was going to do in the future, she knew it wouldn’t be bad to continue with the university. For some people, it might be a waste of money, but her family definitely wasn’t one of them, and they could support her, so why not?
On the second day, it was free time, and they were free to do what they wanted to do with their group, so this was what she thought to do, yet she didn’t expect that her group would join Shishio’s group.
While she was speechless, she also couldn’t blame the group since the majority of members of her group were his women. She didn’t want to be left out, and she was quite curious about where he was going to go, but he didn’t immediately go to his destination. Instead, he brought all of them to try the cuisine of Okinawa since he hadn’t tried all of them.
However, when they left, Hayama, along with his group, was quite speechless since Yumiko had left, leaving them. “So what should we do?” “Well… should we enjoy the trip?”
While it felt a bit sad that Yumiko and the others couldn’t join them, they had to say having an all-male members group wasn’t bad.
Meanwhile, Hikigaya felt happy since he could walk around with Totsuka. “Hachiman!” Totsuka smiled sweetly as he waved his hand, gesturing for Hikigaya to come closer.
*Thump!*
Hikigaya pressed his hand on his chest and wondered why he felt his chest was so painful. It was so tight that he almost couldn’t breathe.
‘Totsuka’s smile… how fearsome…’
With that said, he didn’t hesitate and chased after Totsuka.
“Wait! Wait! Don’t run so suddenly!”

“So, where are we going after this?”
Yumiko asked after she wiped her lips with a tissue. As of now, they were at a certain fast food restaurant, having a burger, curly fries, and root beer.
Unlike in the mainland, where fried chicken and certain burgers were popular, in Okinawa, this was the most popular fast food chain restaurant.
While it was strange for them to eat this type of food since they should be eating something they could eat in this place, the feeling and the taste of the foods they ate on the mainland and in Okinawa were different.
Juicy burgers, crispy fries, and a cool yet unique taste of root beer were eaten without any remains.
They weren’t that hungry, but they were young, so their metabolism worked better than those who were older. Even if they ate greasy and sinful foods, they were okay, and they could eat even more.
Even Yukinoshita, who was the most graceful among them, also ate the food happily. Maybe, because the food was eaten by everyone, its taste was even tastier.
However, Yumiko’s question also caused everyone to pay attention to him.
“I am going to visit a master of Karate.”
“… a master of karate? You mean a martial artist?”
Yumiko was speechless. She had thought that they would go to various attractions or go to a famous spot on Okinawa, so she had never thought that they would go to meet a master martial artist.
What was interesting about martial arts? Yet, unexpectedly, everyone was interested.
“How strong is this person?”
“I am not sure, but he is strong since he is a rather famous assassin.”
“What?!”
“…is this for real? Hey? You guys aren’t playing a prank on me, right?”
Yumiko felt even more restless since everyone was shocked for real. She was the only one who was confused. Assassin? Were you guys playing a game? Why didn’t you tell me anything? Or was this their prank to surprise her?
However, she had to say she was extremely surprised since even Yukinoshita and Mai Sakurajima seemed the most solemn out of all of them.
Did Yukinoshita learn acting skills from Mai?
“Yumiko, be quiet for a moment.” Yui looked dignified for a moment.
“….”
Yumiko looked around and knew that she wasn’t dreaming. She was in the fast food restaurant, and she was on a school trip, yet she wondered whether she was dreaming since she felt weird about a group of female high school students talking about an assassin with a young man.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. I know it is a bit weird, but you have seen a biker gang, yakuza, and others fighting on the forum, right, Miura-senpai?”
“Yes.”
Yumiko nodded since she knew that there were often a lot of fights happening, especially in Tokyo, but that news usually wasn’t being announced on the news and only announced on the forum internet.
Why?
It was because this country still wanted to maintain the image of being the most peaceful country in the world. Naturally, the news that caused the people in this country to become restless or damaged the image of this country needed to be erased. Of course, not all of the news was censored, and some of them were still announced on the news, so something similar wouldn’t happen.
In other words, in this country, there were many things that were hidden from the public.
Knowing all of this, Yumiko was in shock.
“Then, isn’t it dangerous? Why should you go there?!”
When she thought that he was going to meet an assassin, she couldn’t help but feel worried. “Aren’t you afraid of being killed?!”
“He is an assassin, not a serial killer.”
“…is there a difference?”
“The difference is big. If the serial killer kills people for fun, the assassin kills people for money. In other words, it is a job. Naturally, I can’t say that it is right since what he is doing is a criminal.”
“Then… should we call the police?”
“Do we have evidence?”
“…”
“The killing aside, I know he is a respectable martial artist, and instead of killing, he is doing a death match.”
“… death match.”
“But this doesn’t change the fact that it is dangerous to meet him, right? Do you really have to meet him?”
Yumiko asked worriedly, but somehow, she could tell that she couldn’t stop him.
“Sorry, I can’t.”
“….”
“Leaving his identity as an assassin aside, how strong is he?”
“Yumiko, Shishio is strong. You don’t need to worry.”
“Stronger than an assassin?” Yumiko looked at Saki speechlessly.
“He is.”
“…really?”
“You might not know, but he has been fighting many powerful fighters…”
“Eh?!”
“Wait, wait. Let’s talk about that later.”
Yukinoshita looked at Shishio and asked, “Can you tell me more about this fighter?” Unlike the rest, she wasn’t worried about him fighting this Okinawa assassin. On their last trip, she talked with Haruno and asked why they were together.
Haruno hesitated, but in the end, she told him about what was happening before, including how he had fought someone. No, he killed someone.
While Yukinoshita was surprised, she also quickly accepted it, especially when Shishio was about to be killed. Moreover, Haruno also told her how brutal this person was since Yuujiro might even rape and kill all of them.
When Yukinoshita listened to the story, she shuddered and felt remorse, sadness, and anger since she couldn’t be by his side since she could imagine how heavy his heart was at that time.
Fortunately, Haruno was around, so she could comfort him. In the end, everything had happened, so she could only accept it, and she also had a feeling that their relationship would be formed sooner or later, so this didn’t really change the relationship between them. As of now, she wasn’t sure why Shishio decided to fight this Okinawa assassin, but as long as it was his wish, she would support him.
“Well, his name is Kuroki Gensai.”
“Kuroki Gensai?”
“His nickname is “Devil Lance.”
“Devil Lance? Did he use a lance or something? Or is he using that lance of his to stab his target?”
Ebina asked while pushing the frame of her glasses, but somehow, Nanami, who was by her side, also reacted by wiping the nosebleed on Ebina’s nose.
“….” Everyone.
“….no.” Shishio was speechless. “His best skill is nukite, and that’s where his nickname comes from.”
“Nukite?”
“It’s a finger stab. His finger stab can even stab a metal. His fingers are like the tip of a spear, and this is where his nickname comes from.”
“…”
Unexpectedly, everyone looked at him skeptically.
“It’s impossible, right? How can a finger stab a metal?”
Shishio looked at them for a moment before he took the empty bottle of cola.
“What are you going to do?”
“You can see that this bottle is hard, right?”
They felt confused, but they nodded.
“Now, watch this.”
His movement was fast, and he stabbed the bottle with his index finger, causing a hole the size of his index finger to form. The sound of glass falling on the bottom of the bottle was heard.
Everyone fell into silence.
“See? This is possible.”
“…..”
—
“There must be a trick!”
“You must have created a hole beforehand, right?”
“But… it’s hard.”
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t find any tricks, and they also tried to stab the bottle with their fingers. Naturally, their fingers were hurt, which made them confused.
However, Shishio was too lazy to explain since he was about to reach his destination. As they entered the bus, they went to the side of Okinawa island before they saw an old traditional Okinawa-style house.
The wood was dark, showing how old it was, but it was still firm and stable. Still, when they were about to enter the courtyard of this house, they noticed an old man in a black karate uniform.
The man had a bear-like body. From one glance, one could tell that this man was strong. However, when their eyes met each other, their fight started immediately.
