Chapter 9 Tonami Furue

──When did the bullying begin?

Thinking that over, Tonami Furue clearly recalled memories from the other world.

Perhaps it was due to her being quite uncouth, perhaps it was because of being unremarkable, or perhaps she randomly provoked a group that incited the bullying. Or maybe, she was simply selected by chance?

For a long time now, she had certainly been self-conscious of her plain, docile, and reserved nature.

It started with sneers and malicious gossip.

"Country bumpkin." "Self-deluded in love" "Teacher's pet." Absurdly serious." "Natural airhead." "Smelly (which of course was slander)" "Filthy (which was also slander)" Germ- spreader (the follow was an abbreviation)"

It grew to where scraps of paper were thrown at her.

Although it was awfully unpleasant, Tonami couldn't help but decide to endure. It would soon be over just like any other case of bullying, or so she thought.

However, for some reason the bullying intensified as more time passed. Her shoulders were struck when passing by. She was told lies of needed to go to another classroom, hiding her learning materials, writing mischievous text on her desk each day.

And finally, when forced into a bathroom, they thought it would be amusing to throw in a bucket filled with water. Taking advantage of a cowardly opening, she grabbed a mob and used it jab at the faces of those three──well, maybe that was overkill. Their noses were broken and eyes were in awful shape, it made their depraved faces even more repulsive.

After that, she remembered falling into a pitfall while running away. Her life in the neighboring world also began from there.

Tonami Furue felt no joy, sorrow, or loneliness living in this world. There was only the feeling of adapting to this world.

She couldn't see her parents, she couldn't see her classmates, but that wasn't a big deal. Since she was only dimly alive no matter which world it was.

However...how to describe it, she always felt that she possessed a helpless disadvantage as a

unique human being.

What would become a sin in the other world was considered as respectable skill in the neighboring world.

Tonami Furue was brutal beyond cure. If Sheri Musika was a wolf in sheep's clothing born from

a bad environment, then it was Tonami Furue's natural disposition to be a furious beast.
