The Fallen Woman
Kondo’s PoV
“Why, why, why?! Why didn’t I get a pass?!”
We return to the clubroom, dejected after our disastrous defeat. I kicked the trash can hard.
“Hey, Mitsuda! Why didn’t you pass to me?”
I hit Mitsuda, a fellow midfielder and one of my servants.
“Because I was marked and couldn’t make a pass.”
“You bald, stupid, lazy b🬀🬀tard! Why don’t you work harder and create an opening? Do your job, you little fish!”
“Sorry.”
Completely useless.
“Even so, Kondo-senpai, your opponent studied you today, and you lost the ball right away, didn’t you? Besides, even when you lose the ball, you don’t even try to get it back.”
One of the second-year members muttered to me. Blood rushed to my head, and I banged on the locker.
“Who the hell said that to me?”
No one in the second-year group dared make eye contact with me.
“Damn! The forwards are so bad, you can’t attack at all. The only goal we scored was a penalty kick I took. If it’s like this, we won’t win matches that should be winnable. And you, Watanabe, didn’t you say you wanted to get a sports scholarship? Don’t talk nonsense! You’re not at that level yet.”
In the end, Watanabe just fell silent—even after saying such great things earlier.
Ah, that was satisfying.
“What’s the matter? Say something! You’re just little remoras. So just do your job and don’t challenge me. You can’t even do that—you’re incompetent!”
Ah, that’s refreshing. No matter how good a captain he is, he can’t go against the king. That’s how it should be.
“Shut up!!!”
“Huh?”
“Shut up, you piece of shit!!!”
Thud!
Watanabe angrily punched me in the stomach with his fist.
It happened so suddenly that I couldn’t do anything and ended up taking Watanabe’s fist.
“Aahhh!!!”
The clean hit made my esophagus burn. The pain was so intense I couldn’t even breathe.
Breathing heavily, Watanabe glared at me, and a moment of fear washed over me.
“Ah, ah, hey! What are you doing!? Did you all see that!? That guy attacked me. I’ll tell the teachers. You’re finished, Watanabe!!!”
But all the club members were silent, and no one helped me. Instead, just like Watanabe, they stared at me coldly.
“Oh, hey. You all saw that, right? The captain hurt the ace in front of so many club members!”
But no one said a word.
Watanabe laughed coldly and said,
“Huh, did he fall and hit his head? He just fell down, didn’t he? Right, everyone?”
The club members nodded slowly in agreement.
“Yes, yes.”
“Senpai just got frustrated and fell down.”
“Everyone says so, so it must be true.”
They looked at me with disdain. Some juniors were even mocking me.
Damn! These guys…
“Okay, so you’re going to make things worse for me? Then you’d all better get ready. I’ll make you regret it.”
I have a weakness on every one of these guys. That’s fine. When I threaten them later, they’ll come crawling back. For now, I’ll just scare them and wait for things to cool off.
Frustrated, I went outside. Damn! I should’ve contacted Miyuki today instead of yesterday. Damn it! I regretted reaching out to her yesterday.
I can’t help it. I’ll contact Plaything #1. Come to think of it, she said she’d support me today…
“Kondo-kun!”
Speak of the devil—there she is. The woman who slept with me when I was in middle school.
Ikenobu Eri.
Before she met me, she was a good-looking girl with long black hair. But to suit my taste, she dyed her hair brown and cut it short.
In the third year of junior high school, she stopped going to school for two months at a critical time. Annoyingly, she was still trying to get into the same high school as me. Miraculously, she worked hard at her studies, and here we are today. By then, though, she’d lost all her friends from junior high. And since she hardly studied after entering high school, her academic performance plummeted.
She gave up everything for me, but in the end, we never got back together. Now, she’s just an unfortunate woman who became my s🬀x friend. I can’t deny that I robbed her of her precious youth.
She used to be an honor student with no makeup. Now she’s dried up—a shadow of her former self.
“Kondo-kun, that friendly match was unfortunate. The rest of the team is really bad and incompetent. They’re useless.”
Her personality, once kind to everyone, has been distorted like this. To be honest, I could just throw her away now, but she’s like a trophy to me. So, I’ll keep her for now.
“Yes, that’s right. The only one who truly understands me is you, Eri.”
As soon as I say something like that, she wags her tail for me. Now, let’s go have some fun and relieve some stress.
