Who's Yours?
Who's Yours?
The welfare department staff who sneered at and looked down on the director, who always had to bow her head due to meager funding.
The guys at school who teased us for being orphans, calling us parasites instead of even tenants.
The assholes in the army who lived like kings just because of their rank.
I smashed them all.
If you just endure it, you're an idiot.
Growing up seeing all sorts of filth, my personality ended up like this too.
Unlike the director, who had no choice but to endure for our sake, I had nothing to protect, so I had a strong tendency to go wild.
I acted with the intention of venting the director's frustration on her behalf.
... Actually, it was just that I couldn't hold it in.
"Hey~ We were just looking for you!"
"What a coincidence~ You're Doa, right? Kwon Do-ah."
The second-years who had climbed up the stairs were acting cocky.
They weren't as big as Cheon Hae-won, but they were still bigger than me.
Not that I was scared.
"Hello."
I tilted my head toward the two and gave a light bow.
Judging by them talking about 'Queen' and beating people up on their way up, and the 'Circle' stuff mentioned when getting hit by Cheon Hae-won, they certainly weren't good people.
Just using honorifics with these guys made me feel like throwing up, but I needed to know why they were looking for me, so I decided to play along.
When I acted submissive, the chubby one laughed out loud.
The stench of perfume mixed with sweat to impress a girl was nauseating.
"Hahat! This one's pretty compliant~"
"I thought all the first-years would be rude. Thanks to Doa, the juniors look lovely, don't they?"
Then the big-headed guy behind him closed the distance.
They were barely a year older than Kwon Do-ah, but they talked like 40 or 50-year-old men hitting on a woman in her 20s.
They hadn't even finished greeting me, but their voices went up an octave, probably excited.
I wonder if they're already thinking about marriage if I just smile a little.
'Fuck... Me with a man?'
Crazy talk. Crazy thought. Crazy future.
They need to talk some sense.
"Why were you looking for me?"
I asked the two guys... Hu-deok-i and Dae-du.
The two, who had been grinning at me, finally remembered their purpose and opened their mouths.
"Why would there be a reason to see a cute junior~ By the way, Doa, you're a 'Sewer Rat', right?"
"... Maybe."
"No need to hide it, we already knew when we looked for you. Anyway, people from the Magi Zone always play dumb. If you're embarrassed, don't live in a place like that."
"..."
This is unknown information added by the random settings of UtoAca.
Sewer Rat, Magi Zone resident.
Considering Magi is treated as a toxic substance in this world, it's definitely not a good term.
Kwon Do-ah must not have lived in a very good place either.
A strange sense of camaraderie tickled my heart, and I felt sorry for her.
'She's a heroine, does it hurt to grow up eating good food?'
It's bad enough the game difficulty is insane, but if the heroine has a tragic past, only the player suffers.
"Anyway, Doa, aren't you lonely coming to the Academy alone? Need a friend?"
Hu-deok-i, breathing heavily, asked while massaging my shoulder.
His hand was on my shoulder, but the feeling of his thumb secretly tickling my upper chest was disgusting. And he smelled.
I glared at Hu-deok-i, but he didn't feel uncomfortable; he just grinned, showing his buck teeth.
I endured it once.
"Are you guys connected to a Circle?"
"How did you know? You're sharper than you look~"
"Originally, we were going to entrust Class A to that bastard Cheon Hae-won, but you'd be better. It's easier for us if someone who listens well does it."
Hu-deok-i marveled, and Dae-du chimed in.
I didn't say much, but the information is flowing out.
They say looks are probability and power. It's a good thing, but it's certain these two have tastes that would be fine even if they were thrown in prison right now.
Dae-du continued.
"There's a negative perception about Circles, but it's not like that~ It's similar to a club, workshop, or student council at the Academy. We mainly handle maintaining order!"
Bullshit.
It's just a thug club.
Collecting money, enforcing stupid military-style discipline, idiots who only know hierarchy.
Most are ragtag groups united by force, so if you beat up the leader, they self-destruct.
'Before I possessed this body, I had the strength to do that. But now, it's impossible.'
"It was dreary until last year, so it would be great if Doa came. Besides, you and Cheon Hae-won are talents personally picked by Queen."
Queen must be the boss of the Circle Hu-deok-i and Dae-du belong to.
At the same time, one question arose.
'Do the Academy teachers have no power? Or is the Circle small enough to ignore?'
Whatever it is, I grasped that it's a den of trash with nothing good about it.
I asked Hu-deok-i.
"Why me and Cheon Hae-won...?"
"That bastard is to Queen's liking, and you— Sewer Rat— no, no, you have high Magi resistance, so she said to bring you by all means."
"What does that have to do with the Circle—"
"We don't know either. But Doa, I'm asking you. If we can't even bring you, we're in a bit of trouble~ Even if you don't decide right now, let's just go take a look, okay?"
Dae-du sticky-fingered the lower part of my belt.
I endured it twice.
Do they take me for some airheaded idiot?
I've seen plenty of developments where you follow them obediently and get into trouble.
One hundred out of a hundred. What else would it be but getting raped?
Judging that there was no more information to get from Dae-du and Hu-deok-i, I walked past them.
"I have a prior engagement, so I'm leaving."
"... Ah?"
"No, no, don't be like that~"
I spoke informally in a fit of anger, but the two didn't even care.
They must be pretty desperate. It seems true that they need me because I have high Magi resistance, not just for simple sexual purposes.
"You look like you'd listen well, why are you like this~ This isn't the situation for us to play around."
"Help us out, Doa. Your senior is asking you like this. Can't you go without even taking a look?"
It's the same here, acting tough just because they're a year or two older. They're Academy students and adults, but they're no different from immature brats.
At first, I thought I'd just say I was busy and run down.
"Good girl, Doa~"
Until Dae-du's hand, which was tickling my stomach, headed for my head.
The area I only allowed the director to touch.
A memory of being endlessly happy for the affection given to me by the one who took me in, yet also sad because I could feel their hands getting rougher every time they touched me.
I have nothing to protect, so if I endure it three times, I'm an idiot.
"Don't touch me."
Ppaak-!!
The arm I swung violently struck Dae-du's hand away.
The air turned icy cold abruptly.
Then, taking advantage of the two being flustered, I slipped between them and stepped onto the stairs.
To get to a place with even a few more people.
And I fell.
"Ugh?!"
My legs were tied by a rope-like string.
I rolled down about half the stairs.
My hands were tied behind my back.
A pink-hued rope also wrapped around my waist.
I was pulled up like a fish caught on a fishing line.
Tuk- tuk- my head hit the stairs.
"Geez, wouldn't it have been better if you hadn't gotten hurt by going when I asked nicely~ Huh? Doa."
In Dae-du's hand was the pink rope that tied me up.
'Is that magic... no, an ability...!'
I had no leisure to be amazed by a fantasy ability I was seeing for the first time.
Even though I struggled as much as I could to roll down, it was in vain, as I was continuously being pulled up.
There's a difference in physical strength between men and women, but Kwon Do-ah's body was weak, to the point of being pathetic.
'How can I not move to the other side even a little...!'
"Ha, I thought it would be tough because you're a Sewer Rat, but you're nothing, come here!"
"Someone help—"
"Where do you think you're going!"
The circular wave Hu-deok-i fired wrapped around my body.
I screamed with all my might, but my voice couldn't spread through the school.
Silenced and bound, I was thrown in front of the rooftop door.
'This is bad. There's no place to untie it...!'
I wiggled my fingers, but couldn't find the knotted part.
Is it natural since it's a rope made of magic? I spat out curses at them to untie the rope, but only silenced air escaped.
"Doa, we asked as politely as possible, right? Now we'll do it our way?"
"And how dare you hit your senior, you rude brat~"
"............!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know~ I know what you want to say, but if you keep moving your mouth, only your jaw will hurt? You'll have to keep it open later anyway... Heh heh."
"I'll just take a few shots, so stay still~"
Hu-deok-i, who approached me as I lay prone, took off my blazer and forced my mouth open to shove his thumb in.
With his other hand, he was playing with me like a toy, tickling my side chest or flicking my sleeve.
The stench and discomfort soared to the sky.
The moment his thick finger touched the tip of my tongue, I launched a small counterattack.
Kkwadeuk-!
"Kuaaaaah!!!"
Peh!
I spat out the severed fingernail. Compared to my physical strength, my bite force wasn't much different from a normal person's.
As Hu-deok-i writhed in pain, the magic seemed to break, the wave surrounding me shattered, and my voice started to come out again.
I didn't miss the chance and tried to shout again, but a fist filled with anger slammed into my solar plexus first.
Ppeoeok-!
"Is this brat crazy!"
"Kkaheuk?!"
A high, shrill scream burst out briefly.
Saliva flowing from my unclosable mouth dripped onto the floor.
"Hey, you put too much force into it... More than that, is she really Class A? Her durability is too weak, let alone defensive magic?"
"I don't know, fuck, strip her all off! I let it slide because she was pretty, but she's climbing up on me!?"
"Hey, I don't know about Cheon Hae-won... but Queen said to bring her... intact..."
"Who cares! Make her a rag... sell her to a brothel!"
"Haa... because of you, I'm going to get scolded again..."
The conversation going back and forth between the two was gradually covered by ringing in my ears.
Just when I was barely gasping for air, a shoe entered through my shirt, which had lost its buttons and come undone.
"Take this out...!"
I struggled desperately, but it was a movement no better than a fish flapping.
Hu-deok-i, snorting through his nose, trampled on my solar plexus as if rubbing it.
"Open your eyes nicely, you fucking bitch."
"Aack...! Kkeuk?! Heuk..."
"Huh, look at this?"
As I looked at him with still-resentful eyes, he pressed down even harder.
Dae-du grabbed my hair and smelled it. In this disgusting situation where a man was sniffing my hair, a "Hick..." sound came out on its own.
"Haa... this is healing. Doa, if you help a little, I'll let you go soon."
Dae-du took out an Artifact and pointed the lens at me.
It was obvious they would use the photos and videos to call me out later.
It's not even my body anyway, so threatening me is useless. But I didn't intend to let them take pictures obediently either.
I hate the very fact that I have to follow the words of a bastard like this.
Bowing my head to trash, I really hate it.
I hate it.
Ppaak-!
I kicked Dae-du's Artifact with my tied legs.
"... Fine, I'll just take it myself. I'll make you a celebrity on your first day of school~"
Pink rope, the same as the one that tied me up, appeared in Dae-du's hand.
One turn, two turns... The rope wrapped layer by layer around my slender neck, which only had a choker, and the moment the string was pulled and tightened, I closed my eyes reflexively.
"Uheok?!"
"Aaaaaah!!"
The oppressive feeling of restraint disappeared.
The men's screams echoed.
The scene that entered my half-opened vision was nothing short of a living hell.
Dae-du with all ten fingers broken, and Hu-deok-i, who had fallen with his missing front teeth scattered around, covering his mouth.
In the scene that unfolded in an instant, a blond man stood between them, wiping the spit on his hand onto Dae-du's uniform.
"Cheon Hae... won?"
As soon as Cheon Hae-won saw me, barely able to twitch my head while sprawled out, he burst into laughter.
"Puhah! Hey kid, you were trying to mess with me when you can't even handle guys who can't even do their job as men? You're a funny one~"
"Ugh..."
"The sight of you with your blazer off is also a spectacle. You're so exposed, how can you be so unarousing? Sseup... is there demand for a washboard like this?"
Who would want to wear this? If it weren't for the uniform, I would have taken it off right away.
His reddish eyes looked down on me with a contemptuous expression, but since he appeared at a good time and saved me, that was fine.
Cheon Hae-won, who had laughed his fill, brushed his hair back and turned his body toward Hu-deok-i and Dae-du.
"Seniors. You said 'let's see about this', and we met soon, didn't we?"
"Co, cowardly from behind...!"
"You guys who were 2-on-1, what are you talking about being cowardly... And fighting fair and square is stupid, you idiots. I don't care if you're in a Circle or plotting something."
Ppeong-!
Hu-deok-i, hit by a soccer kick, was dropped to the floor below.
Dae-du, too, followed Hu-deok-i like a stone thrown with a sling, with his stripped uniform top tied around his neck.
"Don't touch what's mine as you please, okay?"
Who's yours.
