I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 80: The protagonist meets the protagonist

Unlike video games, novels, or shonen manga where the characters in the story were able to see whether someone was strong or not from their auras or a glance of their eyes, in reality, it was impossible for someone to do something like that, and to determine whether someone was powerful, or not, they needed to see them fight on the match first, after all, no one could see the status of someone, nor the aura of someone with their eyes since they were only a normal human.

However, for martial artists, fighters, or warriors whose strength had reached a certain extent, their sense was sharper than a normal human, and they could tell whether someone was strong or not just by a guess, shape of the body, stance, disposition, etc.

In other words, their observation ability to determine whether someone was strong or not was better than most people's.

It was the same for some people at this venue, they quickly turned their attention toward Shishio, who was walking beside Togo.

Why did Shishio gather their attention?

The first reason was because of Togo.

They knew clearly that Togo would have a "Kengan Match" a few days later and her opponent was someone that everyone in this venue couldn't take lightly, which was why when Togo came, she attracted a lot of attention since no one would think that she would come to today's "Kengan Match".

The second reason was that there was no Togo's most powerful fighter.

Hong was Togo's strongest fighter and he had never lost in any matches, but his opponent in few days was different from any fighter that he had ever fought in the past, which was why everyone quite anticipated the fight between Hong and his opponent.

However, on today's "Kengan Match", they couldn't see Hong, but rather Shishio, who walked closely with Togo.

The third reason was most females in this venue thought Shishio was handsome since his long purple hair gave off an elegant aura and a strong aura like a knight, from how he walked, his eyes, body, etc, attracted most people, even though his face was covered in a facemask.

The fourth reason that they thought Shishio might be Togo's lover, after all, everyone loved to gossip, especially no one would expect that the "Merchant of Death" would be interested in the opposite gender, which was why they were curious about Shishio.

The fifth reason was that they were curious about Shishio since they were wondering who could walk closely and talked amicably with Togo since they knew very well that Togo's temper wasn't good.

In the eyes of normal people, one of those five reasons might be the reason why they were looking at Shishio.

However, some people in this venue, especially the elderly man that was surrounded by a lot of strong men, stared at Shishio for a while and raised his eyebrow since his reason was quite different from everyone, who was looking at Shishio at this moment.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" One of the strong men asked, and also followed the elderly man's gaze that was looking at Togo and Shishio.

"Togo Tomari should be fighting against "him", right?" The elderly man asked.

"Yes, the match is scheduled for a few days later on Saturday night." One of the men nodded and asked, "Are you going to watch the match, grandfather?"

The elderly man laughed and said, "That match is going to be interesting."

The three strong men raised their eyebrows, then stared at Shishio since they knew very well that this young man was a fighter from their observation alone, but then again, whether Shishio was strong enough to defeat "him", was debatable since they knew very well how strong "him" was, but what the words of the elderly man aroused their curiosity, and thought that they would also follow him to watch the match in a few days later.

However, unlike the elderly men, the rest of the people that were stared at by Shishio only put a glance at Shishio before they looked away since they didn't have the ability to see whether someone was strong or not with just a single glance from their eyes.

If Shishio took off his clothes, showing his strong muscles, then it would be different, but he was wearing a long-sleeve white shirt that hid most of his body, and his muscles weren't the bulky type, so they thought of him as just Togo's boy toy.

---

When Shishio heard the words "Kengan Match" from Togo's mouth before, he knew very well what kind of story it was and also slapped his mouth who thought that this world was very peaceful.

If Shishio could rewind the time, then he wanted to return to chapter 27 where he said that this world was peaceful since he knew very well that this world wasn't peaceful, especially when he knew about the existence of the map that was erased from the country, however, his chance to meet the people from that place might be very small, but if he really met them, then he needed to be prepared, after all, no one really knew what would happen in life.

Shishio threw the useless thought, and thought about the gamble, after all, he knew that he had won, especially the math that he would watch would be the first match of the main protagonist.

"Tomari-san, can I ask?" Shishio asked.

"What's wrong?" Togo asked, wondering what Shishio wanted to ask.

"Who are these three people?" Shishio cast his glance at the huge man with two-meter heights, a man with interesting muscles, and an elderly man that was surrounded by three strong men.

The huge man with two-meter heights and the man with an interesting muscle might interest him, but Shishio was more curious about the elderly man that was surrounded by three strong men since their eyes were quite unique since they had a black sclera and white irises.

Shishio might know their identities, but it wouldn't hurt to hear the explanation from Togo, right?

"Oh?"

Togo, Fusae, and Togo's subordinates were curiously surprised when all the people that were asked by Shishio were all the strong fighters on the "Kengan Association".

"Why are you curious about them?" Togo asked, and didn't answer his question immediately, since she wanted to know why he wanted to know about their identities.

"They're strong," Shishio said simply.

Togo nodded and said, "Yes, the three of them might be the strongest fighters in this venue."

"Oh-ho?" Shishio looked at Togo full of interest.

"Fusae." Togo was too lazy to explain and left everything to her secretary.

Fusae nodded and said, "The huge man with two meters in height is Sekibayashi Jun. He's a famous pro-wrestler and a very strong fighter. In public, he's very famous, you should know him."

Shishio looked at Sekibayashi Jun who was so tall and caused the people around him to look like a dwarf. He thought for a while and nodded since it seemed the previous Shishio Oga also knew about Sekibayashi Jun.

"The muscular man that is standing with that fat man is Wakatsuki Takeshi, who is also known as The Wild Tiger. He's an affiliated fighter of Furumi Pharmaceuticals, and by the way, the fat man who is standing beside Wakatsuki is the CEO of Furumi Pharmaceuticals," Fusae explained.

"Hmm... it might be a rough observation, but his body... isn't normal, right?" Shishio asked directly.

Fusae nodded and with the power of Iwami Heavy Industries, it was very easy to gather most of the information of the fighters on the "Kengan Association".

"Yes, that person has an abnormally high muscle density, 52 times higher than average," Fusae said with serious expression since no matter how long it was, she felt that it was quite hard to believe that someone had 52 more muscle densities than an average person.

'52 times muscle density...'

Shishio was wondering whether it meant Wakatsuki was 52 stronger than normal people, but whether Wakatsuki was really 52 times stronger than a normal person or not, the fact that Wakatsuki was strong didn't change.

"Then what about that elderly man?" Shishio asked, and at the same time, he couldn't help but lament, thinking that it was hard to see the difference between a killer and a normal person. He knew very well the identity of the elderly man was the patriarch of the famous assassination family, and besides his strange eyes, this elderly man didn't have any difference from the people that he saw on the street.

Fusae's expression changed and said, "If possible, you shouldn't cause trouble to that elderly man, Oga-kun."

"What do you mean?" Shishio asked.

Fusae's expression became solemn and said, " He's the patriarch of the Kure Clan. The famous assassination clan in this country, his name is Kure Erioh."

"Kure clan?" Shishio raised his eyebrow but didn't say much.

"It's an assassination clan, their home should be near your house in Kyoto," Togo said.

"..."

Shishio wasn't sure whether he should be happy to hear that news or not.

They then stood in some place at the venue where they could see the match that would be held in the middle.

"Fusae-san, do you know where the fighters of the two companies are?" Shishio asked. He had seen the main character and his opponent before, but he decided to ask again since it would be weird if he knew everything, right?

Fusae then pointed her finger at a wild man with a bulky, powerful build, a hairless face, messy blonde hair, and small blonde eyebrows.

"That person is Rihito. He's the representative fighter of Yoshitake Real Estate. He's fairly famous on "Kengan Match" and he's also known as "The Superman," Fusae said.

"Superman?" Shishio raised his eyebrow.

Fusae nodded and said, "Rihito is famous for his technique that is known as Razor Edge." She then pointed at her fingers and said, "Rihito's fingers are capable of tearing through flesh, bone, and even armor just like a razor."

"Oh?" Shishio raised his eyebrow and said, "Is it because of a pinch grip?"

Fusae was surprised by Shishio's ability to deduct someone's ability. She quickly nodded and said, "Yes, it is because of his pinch grip that he can tear anything."

Shishio nodded and asked, "What about the other one?"

Fusae then pointed her finger at a man of above-average height who had an extremely athletic build, and his most notable feature was his mop of messy, dark brown hair like seaweed. His face was handsome and because of his body and temperament, he also attracted a lot of attention from the females in this venue.

"He's a new fighter of Nogi Group. His name is Tokita Ohma. I don't know anything else about him," Fusae said calmly. Her tone was very calm from the beginning to the end, showing her professionalism as a secretary of Togo Tomari.

"....Your secretary is amazing, Tomari-san," Shishio said since he had to admit that he quite admired Fusae's professionalism since this woman remembered a lot of things.

"Who are you going to put the bet on?" Togo ignored Shishio's praise of her secretary and asked directly.

Shishio looked at both Rihito and Tokita Ohma. He saw the oddness of the bet and could see that the odds on Tokita were relatively high, but it was normal since it was a risky bet, considering it was Tokita's first match. On the other hand, Rihito's odds were quite low, but it was normal since his reputation was quite loud.

Shishio raised his hand and the staff of the "Kengan Association" came toward him respectfully.

"Is there something that I can help you with, sir?"

"I put my bet on Tokita Ohma. 15 million yen, is a card, alright?" Shishio asked.

The staff was a bit surprised since 15 million yen wasn't a small amount of money, but he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, please wait a moment, I will bring the machine here." He then left and prepared to bring the card machine.

"...."

Togo, Fusae, and Togo's subordinates were startled when they heard Shishio's bet.

"Oga-kun, is that alright? You're betting 15 million yen on a nobody," Fusae said with worry, after all, even though 15 million yen wasn't a big amount of money, it was also relatively big, especially when it was put on a nobody fighter such as Tokita Ohma, besides the slightly handsome face, she didn't see any advantage of Tokita Ohma on this battle, and if it was the matter of handsomeness, she felt that Shishio was several times better than Tokita Ohma too.

"It's alright, I believe that guy is going to win, and the odds are three times." Shishio whistled and said, "If I win, I will get 45 million yen."

Fusae wanted to talk again, but she was stopped by Togo.

"Let him, if he loses, it doesn't really matter anyway, it is only a small amount of money," Togo said simply.

Fusae let out a sigh and didn't say anything afterward.

Then the staff returned with a card machine in his hand and proceeded with Shishio's bet while explaining the rules of the bet when if Shishio won or lost, then when it ended, the staff bowed his head and left them alone since the staff was a bit afraid of Togo, who was known as lunatic in the business world.

Then after Shishio had placed his bet, he stood calmly, watching both Rihito and Tokita Ohma that walked toward the middle of the arena and when it happened, everyone in this place knew very well that the match was about to begin!

Shishio looked at Rihito then Tokita Ohma, then looked around, wondering whether there was a heroine that could trigger his system or not.
