1 Encounter

In Japan, there was a rather average boy walking through the street. He had messy, dark brown hair which slightly covered his brown eyes. His skin was a light beige color. He was wearing a blue high school student uniform with brown shoes. This boy was our protagonist, Maken Okashi.

Throughout his life, Okashi has been mostly seen as a normal person with no abnormalities or talents. He wasn't good at sports, only playing laser tag once in a while. His grades were average, so while he wasn't dumb, he mostly just studied to get his grades up. His personality was pretty bland as well, so he didn't have a lot of friends, and never actually had a girlfriend. His hobbies usually included hanging out with his friends, trying to interact with women but failing, and watching anime.

Okashi thought that anime was amazing since childhood when he first watched Naruto. While he didn't become a full on otaku, he did become a normal weeb. While his parents, Maken Aisara, his mother, and Maken Toshi, his father, didn't get it at first, they started watching it with Okashi and understood why he found it good. Ever since that day, he started watching different types of anime, but his two favorites were always Konosuba and Highschool DXD.

He liked DXD because of some interesting characters that appeared from time to time, as well as the amazing 'plot', as many other boys his age would. He was also one of the few people that didn't completely hate Issei. Even though he knew that his perverted personality was a little weird, he thought it was a little funny at times. He liked Konosuba because of the amazingly weird comedy of the show and it's protagonist, Kazuma. Kazuma reminded him of himself a little bit, and he always envied how he was sent to another world, but also pitied him a little for some of the more weird situations he's been through.

Anyway, Okashi was currently walking home from school, until he heard a girl's voice screaming from an alleyway, "Ahhh!"

"My god, it's the cliche girl being caught by a bad guy in an alleyway!" Okashi thought as he peaked into the alley. A blonde haired girl with blue eyes and the same uniform as Okashi was currently backing away from a thug looking guy also wearing his uniform. Looking at the situation, he realized that the boy was trying to force himself on her!

Okashi analyzed the situation, and, as the normal person he is, he tried to call the police, until the worst thing happened, the girl yelled, "Mister, please help me!" Apparently she must have saw him while he was looking at them.

"Shit, why the hell did you yell that out!" Okashi thought in his head as the thug looking boy quickly turned around to look at him. As he turned around, Okashi got a better look at him, and his appearance scared him. The boy had his student uniform top opened up bit, but his face was more scary. He had pitch black eyes, and he had a nose earring. He also had dyed red hair.

The boy shouted to Okashi, "What the hell do you want dumbass!" with an angry expression. "What I want is to get the hell out of here!" Okashi thought. He was scared out of his mind, he has never been in this type of situation before, but right before he tried to run away, he looked at the girl who was staring at him with pleading eyes and a terrified expression.

While he was scared as well, seeing the girl looking at him, knowing well that he was the only border between that girl getting assaulted or not, he knew what he had to do. He yelled at the thug, "Don't touch that girl you ugly prick!"

"What the fuck did you say you little bitch!? This is none of your business, so get the fuck out of here before I beat the shit out of you!" the thug said as he slowly walked to Okashi. He was angry that he was caught trying to assault the girl, and wanted to beat the ever loving crap out of Okashi for interrupting him. Seeing the thug walk up to him, Okashi wanted to run, but steeled his resolve and took a amateur combat stance.

"I don't give a shit you disgusting looking asshole, stay away from that girl before I curb stomp you!" Okashi replied. He knew his chances of winning were low, but he wanted to save the girl to show that he wasn't a selfish coward, he would save the girl and be more than just a random NPC character! The other boy kissed his teeth and ran at Okashi to attack him!

Okashi, who didn't really have a lot of combat experience, wasn't so weak to let the thug beat him up. Since he understood that his lame looks and personality would probably make him a target for bullies, he worked out so that he wouldn't be completely defenseless in a fight. Right now, he could proudly say he had above average strength for a boy his age. He quickly blocked the punch thrown by the other boy with his arm, and countered with a knee in the gut! The thug had the air knocked out of him, and stepped back while trying to catch his breath. Okashi who didn't want to lose this opportunity, started punching and kicking him while he was defenseless.

"This is surprisingly easy," Okashi thought with a amazed expression as the thug was currently lying on the ground in pain. He expected that it would be pretty hard to beat the thug, but he won suprisingly easily. "But just to make sure that he's unconscious," Okashi said as he mercilessly stomped on the thugs balls! "Ahh!" the thug let out a girlish scream and started frothing at the mouth with his eyes rolled back into his head. After making sure that the thug was unconscious, he looked at the girl and was surprised.

Her beautiful blond hair went to her neck, and she had a little bit of hair covering her left eye. She had a beautiful face, and most guys would think she's incredibly cute. As he looked down, he saw her 'assets' were pretty large, and she also had wide hips and a plump butt. Realizing that he was looking down a little too much, he looked up with a blush and asked her, "A-Are you ok? Did he touch you?"

The girl replied with a happy and relieved expression, "No he didn't touch me. Thank you for doing that mister! Anyway, I need to know the name of the man who saved me! Could you please tell me your name?" Relieved that nothing happened, Okashi replied, "My name is Maken Okashi, what's your name?" The girl said with a smile, "My name is Natsuki Soya. Thank you for your helping me!"

After calling the police and telling them about the thug, they each went back to their homes after exchanging they're contact info. When they went back to school, they started learning more about each other and they're individual interests. They met with each other's friends, Okashi's being surprised that he made a female friend, and eventually having fun outside of school. Okashi and Soya grew closer together as friends, and eventually, Okashi's feelings to her turned romantic.

Later on, Okashi asked Soya to meet him behind the school to confess. Cliche choice, yes, but Okashi couldn't think of anywhere better to take her. While Okashi was anxiously waiting for her, he heard a familiar voice say to him, "Hey Okashi, I'm here! So what did you want to talk about?" Turning around to see the happy face of Soya next to him.

"H-Hey Soya! I-I wanted to tell you something," Okashi said nervously. He was pretty scared, he did some hard things in his life, but asking Soya out would be terrifying.

Meeting her really changed his life. He started trying to be more socially active, he started playing some sports, and he studied even harder, he even started to gain a real personality, all because he wanted to make himself better for her. If she rejected him, he wouldn't know what to do with his life, so his nervousness was understandable.

"Oh, want did you want to tell me?" Soya asked with a smile. Seeing her look at him with her beautiful smile, Okashi gathered his courage and told her, "Soya, my life has been amazing ever since I met you, so I wanted to ask you, will you go out with me?" Hearing this, Soya had released a beautiful smile and said one of the most important things he would ever hear, "Of course Okashi!"

Delighted, Okashi was about to say how happy he was, until Soya kissed him. Her lips were soft, and Okashi felt like he was in heaven right when he expected that they might take things a step further, he felt a warm feeling on his stomach.

Breaking the kiss, he looked down in confusion, and to his horror, he saw a knife held by Soya, the metal stabbing into his stomach. At that moment, Okashi blacked out.
