Don't Mess with the Penitent God of War

[Recommending this sister story, You, Yeah You, What Are You, Mikey? The blurb is below _(:з"∠)_]

My name is Hina, and I have a cousin named Takashi.

We grew up together, but the year I started my third year of middle school and he started his second year of high school, we parted ways when I moved to Tokyo with my parents.

I heard Takashi moved to Chiba too. He dyed his hair an obnoxious blond and has been doing great at his new high school lately. He even teamed up with some guy who has a weird sea-urchin hairstyle. The two of them have made a bit of a name for themselves among Chiba's delinquents. Apparently, they've become big shots...

...Him? He used to cry out loud when I beat him up as a kid!

I don't believe it. I need to find a chance to go see for myself.

I'm not bragging, but although I have a slight tendency to cry uncontrollably…

Whenever I get into a fight, the harder I hit, the harder I cry… That unreliable cousin of mine secretly gave me the nickname “The Repentance Battle God.”

Whenever I think of that nickname, I want to go beat him up again.

I thought Tokyo wouldn't have as many delinquents as the city I used to live in, Tora, or that they'd be as brazen.

But now, watching the delinquents brawling in front of me, I fall silent…

Some of them are even carrying a huge flag that says “Tokyo Manji Revengers.” That's way too chuunibyou! Let me see... Ah... Even my second-year middle school underclassman, Takemichi, is mixed up in the fight, along with my new friends…

Never mind, this is too much trouble. I'll just pretend I didn't see anything…

But,

“Hey, are you Mikey's guy?” A delinquent with black hair streaked blond, bangs covering half his face, and a somewhat handsome look blocks my way.

“No, I'm not.” I turn to leave.

“Heh.” He reaches out to block my path. “Trying to leave?”

I clench my fists…

I'm warning you, don't mess with me!

Coming soon,

My name is Xia Yue, and I'm a brocon.

My brother isn't related to me by blood, but I still love him so much, and not just because he's strong.

Though he really is incredibly strong. He's the current leader of Suzuran High, known as the strongest man ever to stand at the top of Suzuran High. He doesn't need an entourage. With his own strength alone, he can keep the whole school under control, a school full of delinquents famous across the country. Misaki Mario, aka Rao.

We're family from the same orphanage. We may not be related by blood, but that's fine. My brother raised all of us well, so I want to do something for him too, like becoming the top delinquent in all of Japan.

...Then I heard something was going on in Tokyo lately.

You've got to be kidding meeeee!

If anyone can lead their crew to the top of all Japan, it can only be my dear big bro! He can accomplish what the seniors before him never could, and the monster big bro from my orphanage is the only right person for the job, damn it! Whether it's Hosen Academy or Oya High, they'll all have to bow before Suzuran! And don't even get me started on that Tokyo Manji Gang, which has only gotten just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of attention lately. What a joke! Tokyo delinquents? They sound ridiculously weak!

But it seems like they've been growing a little too quickly lately.

After Tokuyama Monji from neighboring Hosen went to Tokyo, he started talking about this delinquent gang way too often. The blond kid he keeps mentioning, the one people in the scene call Invincible, is the leader of Toman. He said that kid is pretty interesting and might actually be able to beat Big Bro Rao.

...What a joke. I don't believe it.

Mitsuhashi Hina transferred to Tokyo a while ago too. She messaged me recently, saying she's doing pretty well in Tokyo, made lots of friends, and even joined Toman. She added that their leader is really strong, able to knock out a two-meter-tall giant with one leg sweep. She said he doesn't seem any weaker than Big Bro Rao.

No way. I don't believe... Wait, didn't Mitsuhashi Hina say she was going to a new environment to become a proper lady?

And my pen pal of ten years, Izana, a friend I met at another orphanage, seems to know Toman too. Whenever Toman comes up, his face turns dark, and he says things like he'll kill their leader sooner or later, this guy called Mikey.

…How does he know him too?

I'm so curious.

So I secretly went to Tokyo to check things out. What if this guy really is strong?

Then... I'll figure it out when I get there.

After arriving in Tokyo, I planned to sneak straight over to Mitsuhashi Hina's new school to take a look. Absolutely, definitely not because I missed her! I just wanted to check whether she was still alive, that's all! She's my destined rival! Not a friend!

But before I even reached her school, I saw seven or eight delinquents blocking a boy on the street.

The boy looked kind of dazed and was even eating a dorayaki. He wasn't very tall and looked a little thin. He didn't seem to realize how dangerous his situation was. Wouldn't he end up bawling if they beat him up with that build?

So, in a burst of kindness, I launched a flying kick and slammed it into the leader's head, then whisked the boy away while the others stared in shock.

“…How long are you going to keep pulling me along?” The boy behind me, whose hand I was holding, asked blankly. He was probably moved.

“I don't know. I think I'm lost.” After what felt like running for at least ten blocks, I braced my hands on my knees and panted. “I just got to Tokyo. I'm here to find someone.”

The blond boy looked even more dazed. “Who are you looking for?”

“The leader of the Tokyo Manji Gang, Mikey.”

“…Huh?”
