Mirror Of The World - Saeko Busujima X Male Reader | Highschool of the Dead

\=| Act 1: What A Heavy Day |=>

"I humbly ask, I humbly ask: Though it is sudden...

Where does Hell lie?

While the Demons laugh, the People are left to weep...

As it does lie outside the bounds of Virtuous Deeds, I will take upon the task of felling hell on earth.

For I am but a vulgar delinquent of the lowest rank.

I have no intentions of dying the death of a warrior."

???: "Are you seriously monologuing in my spot?"

I turned around from the railing to see a classmate behind me.

"Wasn't aware you could make reservations for this kinda place."

My classmate seemed to shudder at the sight of me, he turned from an annoyed tone to an apologetic one.

???: "W-Woah, didn't realize I was talking to you. Y'know what you can have my spot."

At this school I had developed a reputation: "Stay out of the way of that emotionless hard-ass, if you do something he doesn't like you'll earn yourself a one way ticket to Marikawa-Sensei's office." they say.

"Nah it's fine, I was about to go to class anyways."

???: "Wait, so you're not gonna kick my ass?"

While it's true I'm a bit of a hard-ass and it's hard for others to get a good read on my feelings, it's all just an act. I started hiding my true self when I started to get made fun of for being different. I couldn't show any weakness to them so I stopped showing emotions, if I would get pushed around I'd push back ten fold. I even started to dress the part by roughing up my clothes and wearing my uniform wrong, it might sound silly to say I dressed as your stereotypical delinquent but it serves it's purpose for keeping people away.

"I don't believe you've done anything that'd warrant that yet."

He paused for a moment.

???: "So... can I have the spot?"

I moved a few steps over and presented him with the space I was standing, my fellow second year quickly took up the unoccupied spot.

"Takashi, right?"

???: "Yeah... That's me alright."

"Look, I'm not the type to gossip or try to offend others but I hear you're one of the most pathetic people at this damn place."

Takashi: "You could say that, I'd place myself third place in the ranks."

"I'm guessing that means you're at least worth something to someone? I know you've got eyes for that one chick..."

Takashi: "I guess, I've got some friends and a family who care for me but aside from that I'm not all that special."

"That's just the way the wind blows sometimes."

Takashi: "Can't imagine things are much better for you though, you don't seem like a bad guy but I hear you're at the top of a lot of people's shit list."

"It's not like I go around trying to start shit, y'know. It's just..."

I tried to put my thoughts into words but I knew it was pointless, Takashi came up here to skip class not to listen to other people's problems. I readjusted my hat and turned to leave.

"It's whatever, you wouldn't fuckin' get it anyways."

I was already skipping class and thought it wouldn't hurt to hit the restroom before returning. I was walking down the hall when Takashi ran past me. I shrugged it off and kept walking to the men's room. I relieved myself and started washing my hands when another student walked in. He looked a bit pale and walked slowly until he was right behind me, almost breathing on my neck.
