chapter 18: "Komi POV Part 5"

Then I heard his voice.

Tadano: "Are you okay Komi-San" I asked.

I could see Tadano-San's worried look.

That's when I realized what would have happened if he didn't catch me and I felt a little scared.

Still I nodded. I didn't want to worry him anymore.

Najimi: "I told you it hurts! Let me go now Maa-Kun!" Najimi shouted.

I heard Najimi's screams.

Waking up from my amalgam of thoughts and completely understanding the situation.

Maa-Kun was a bad man.

Maa-Kun: "Come on Najimi, you don't need to get like that, we will soon strengthen our relationship if you know what I mean."

The bad man said showing very bad intentions towards Najimi.

Seeing my friend in danger the fear I felt at being thrown and the situation in general quickly disappeared in its place a great conviction to protect my new friend came over me. Getting up and standing at attention I was about to address that bad man who was bullying my friend. I didn't know if I was as strong as him. But my parents taught me some self-defense techniques, I hoped that would be enough and if it wasn't I would try to take Najimi and give her to Tadano-San so they could escape while buying some time. With luck they would escape.

Still a little nervous, but with iron conviction I started to walk, but a hand landed on my shoulder stopping me.

It was Tadano-San who looked at me and shook his head, I frowned involuntarily.

I don't think so, but I would be very disappointed if Tadano-San refused to act and suggested I escape.

Before I said anything or my thoughts followed that train of thought he spoke.

Tadano: "Right now he is a lot to you. And I really don't want you to get hurt. Let me take care of this, but if you really can't hold back you can stop the little guy, who will probably want to intervene when he kicks the big guy's ass."

This warmed my heart a little as I heard his words about not wanting to see me hurt.

But quickly push away unnecessary thoughts at this moment.

Now he would need all the help he could get to save Najimi-San.

I nodded at Tadano-San's suggestion and headed towards the smaller one, if I remember correctly, his name was Shin-Chan.

Who, upon seeing me, remained silent for a moment.

But when she heard how they were beating his friend, he quickly wanted to rush towards him.

I could also see how Tadano-San knocked down that big bad man with a single blow.

My heart raced for a second and my cheeks felt hot.

But I regained consciousness when I saw Shin-Chan move.

He wouldn't allow him to go and interfere in the Tadano-Kun fight.

Using one of the moves taught by my mother I gave him a roundhouse kick putting as much force as I could into my heel and hitting his side making him fall to the ground and I thought I heard a crunching sound but I decided to ignore it.

I could hear the sounds of the fight between the bad man and Tadano-Kun.

But I decided to pay more attention to Shin-Chan not interfering in his fight.

The good thing is that he didn't look like he was going to get up any time soon.

It seems that this technique is more effective than I expected.

Mom always said.

Shuuko: "You just need to concentrate all the strength of your body on your heel and with one hit the bad men will not get up again for a long time. But remember my little one. You should only use this move on bad men who have bad intentions towards you, okay?

Although it wasn't to me, it was to my friend so I think the reason is still valid.

I don't think it's my fault, right?

Putting those thoughts aside.

Seeing that he didn't get up I decided to watch the fight between the bad man and Tadano-San a little.

That was…

Exciting.

For some reason watching him beat up that bad man filled me with satisfaction.

I think I have a problem.

But he looked very handsome.

Being shorter and less stocky with that bad man, Tadano-San hitting him unilaterally was very brave, it was very strong.

My heart was beating fast when I saw him.

When everything was over I approached Tadano-San and together we approached Najimi.

Tadano: "Is everyone okay?" he asked us.

Komi and Najimi: "Yes"

Tadano: "That's a relief, I was worried that something had happened to them."

Hearing him say that warmed my heart.

Then Tadano-San treated Najimi-San's injury by pulling some things out of thin air with his magic tricks.

I didn't really know how he did it, but he wouldn't ask.

The books said that it was not good to delve too deeply into other people's secrets.

Furthermore, there was also the saying "A good magician does not reveal his secrets" that he had heard somewhere.

Instead of asking how she did what she was doing, I asked him for a bottle of water, since I felt somewhat thirsty from the previous effort, apart from the nerves of course.

To which he gladly accepted and gave it without any problem.

I was curious but I let it go.

For some reason the water tasted a little better now that I knew it was delivered by him.

When everything was over Najimi approached us and bowed saying.

Najimi: "Thank you Tadano-Kun, Komi-San, I don't know what would have happened to me without you today."

A few drops fell to the ground, showing that he was crying. Apparently Najimi-San was really scared.

Seeing her state, I quickly approached her and gave her a big hug to comfort her, which she reciprocated and cried in her chest while she clung to my clothes.

Shortly after, I felt Tadano-San's trustworthy hands surrounding both of us, patting us from time to time. This made something in me break. And my tears fell too. The adrenaline was gone and now all the feelings I suppressed came to me. Fear and panic overwhelmed me. But now I felt safe, being in her arms I felt safer than anywhere else.

My heart was calm if he was close to me.

When we all calmed down, still staying in this position was strangely reassuring, although a slightly embarrassing example of this was the blush that both Najimi-San and I shared. However, neither of them gave any sign of wanting to separate from Tadano-San.

We stayed like that for a while, until Tadano-San pushed us so abruptly that we both couldn't react and we fell to the ground.

Komi and Najimi: "…!!!"

By the time we both realized it we saw a horrible scene.

Tadano-San's body was sent flying into the air by the big bad man's punch.

I was terrified.

Tadano-San had been hit so hard.

It would be Okey?

What would happen if he was seriously injured?

What happens if he turns out to be disfigured?

Or paraplegic?

Questions flooded my mind, one darker than the last.

Desperation threatened to swallow me whole.

The blank sound deafened everything and I couldn't hear the big bad man's words.

I could only see him charge towards where Tadano-San had fallen.

My desperation increased.

I couldn't let him do that.

But when I was about to get up and face him I could see how Tadano-San got up from the ground.

Seeing that relieved my troubled heart, but I was still worried about his condition. He had a big bruise on his face and I could see him spit up some blood as he stood up.

He broke a tooth?

No! I must not allow him to continue taking damage!

When I was about to jump to stop the bad man I saw him.

Tadano-San's expression darkened from one moment to the next, I guess it was because of something the bad man said.

Then in a blur he disappeared from his and her position in front of the man.

Then he struck in succession so fast that I could almost see afterimages of his hands one after another as the blows rained down on the bad man.

After a few seconds the man tried to beg for mercy but Tadano-San continued to beat him savagely.

It was very shocking and very… exciting.

I quickly shook my head denying the inappropriate thoughts that threatened to flood my head.

 Instead I just focused even more on Tadano-San.-

Author's note: well we're almost done, could it be that Komi-San has awakened a new fetish? As an old meme would say. "We'll find out.jpg" LOL leaving that aside. She remembers to drink a lot of water and that I love you very much. everyone's favorite depressive author says goodbye.
