[LN] Tomodachi no Oneesan to inkya ga Koi wo Suruto Dounarunoka? - Chapter 2 - Part 8
Chapter 2 - (Part 8)
There is a group of young people in this town who are almost antisocial.
The name of this group is "Taiikuun.
It is a large group of 200 people, including all the members.
Nanjo Ayato was the leader of this "Taiikuun".
That is why Yukio, who picked up Sakuya, ran away when he saw Ayato.
Ayato and Yukito continued their conversation as they walked through the city.
"Why did you do that?"
"Well, it's an embarrassing story, but... I always wanted to get into 'Taiikuun'..."
The thuggish youth continued, scratching his golden hair.
"For a while, I kept calling my acquaintances."
However, no matter who he asked, there was no progress and he was always frustrated.
"No, now I know why... Well, I was rubbish...
But when I met Ayato, I finally realized how small I was.
He wondered how he could change.
"Suddenly, someone called me ..... He told me that if I could lend him my strength, I could enter him into the 'Taiikuun'".
Yukio heard the story along with some other members when he was summoned.
"To weaken Ayato-san's influence and hold the real power..."
"Are you saying you're going to use my relatives?"
One of the three executives, Satoru Kogure, seemed to be gathering his sympathizers and fighters for a coup in "Taiikuun".
His older sister was in danger.
If Ayato got angry and suggested reconciliation, Ayato's influence in the team would change.
If he could grasp this change well, he would become the top Three-Finger player, and this momentum would be an opportunity to increase his considerable dominance within the team.
"Is that possible...?"
"Older sister Ayato-san, I'm really worried because she's so pretty..."
Yukio's words brought back a memory.
Ayato's purpose for creating "Taiikuun".
"It was to protect important people."
"(Do you remember Reiji...)"
My older sister, Sakuya, has been with me since I was a child.
However, there was a reason why I was rejected from school.
Her older sister had a caring side, and she often seemed to be the leader of the group since she was young. When she graduated from the lower grade of elementary school and entered the upper grade, an incident occurred.
Another girl leader in her class was with her older sister.
She seems to have developed an inferiority complex towards her classmate, Sakuya.
Soon she starts to ignore her because she accuses Sakuya of bullying her friends.
The relationship between Sakuya and her bullied son Sakuya was quite good.
The two just tease each other, but due to some misunderstandings and a girl who hides her malice and causes trouble, things get complicated.
Sakuya started skipping school.
The pressure of society is unreasonable.
At that time, Ayato was unable to do anything in the midst of this problem.
But at that moment, it was Reiji who, for the first time in her life, saved Sakuya's heart from an unreasonable experience.
"Because Saku-chan is cute, even a girl will come to me."
Why? Reiji was the only one who had an answer for his older sister who kept asking him about the absurdity of the world.
Reiji repeated to his depressed older sister Sakuya.
"Saku-chan is very sweet, and she does a lot for everyone."
If she did many different things, many people would think of her in many different ways, and Saku-chan, who never stops doing anything, is great!
"Saku-chan never does anything wrong. That's why Saku-chan is so great!"
Reiji grabbed Sakuya's hand and made her stand up.
"I'm going to teach Saku-chan the tricks my father taught me, right? When Saku-chan gets stronger, she'll be invincible!"
They seemed to be discussing many things.
Reiji also taught her Seiken Zuki and Midan Roundhouse Kicks, and let her hit with the gloves he brought from home.
On the other hand, even the local government began to take action against the bullying, and the turning point came when some of my classmates, who couldn't stand the growing commotion, gave new testimonies.
On the contrary, it proved that Sakuya was a victim of bullying.
After about half a year, Sakuya returned mentally and physically strong and rejoined the class, ending the Nanjo family crisis.
Him older sister, Sakuya, was able to fully realize her strength thanks to Reiji.
With this opportunity, she learned more about group harmony and continues to do so to this day.
But during this time, Ayato realized how helpless he was.
And he became obsessed with compensating for his powerlessness.
Ayato wanted to protect his older sister and the people he cared about with a power different from Reiji's.
Reiji, of course, was the reason why his older sister, Sakuya, was able to return to the classroom.
However, Ayato felt that the coincidence factor was very important.
In other words, the coincidence of society's attention being drawn to "bullying" had changed the situation.
Because the local government and the news were constantly making a fuss, the classmates who could not bear the conscience of a child realized the truth.
"If it weren't for this situation, the truth would never have come out.
Moreover, if the direction of the riot deviates even a little, it is doubtful whether the riot will be resolved, even if it gets bigger.
In that case, even if her older sister recovered thanks to Reiji, her circumstances would not allow her to return.
Even at him young age, he knew this.
"This is so unreasonable." It was up to Reiji to help his older sister personally.
"I'm sure he will." He wanted to protect her older sister and Reiji in a different way.
"It's just a coincidence that this happened this time."
"Isn't it possible to protect both of them by making this inevitable?"
"That thought is unbelievable."
A question that should have no answer, but Ayato found one.
In other words, environment creates opportunity. So what is environment?
"It is 'society.'"
He creates a "society" that is always to his liking, and uses that influence to protect both.
In particular, it was the "local government" that did not allow oppression.
In other words, he has "organizational power".
After that, Ayato tried various things while still in elementary school.
He asked about the organizational structure of the mayor, the police station, the subdistrict office, the school board, and the actions of a child.
He even sent e-mails and letters to politicians from different parties in his constituency, sometimes even meeting them in person and experiencing the rules of society firsthand.
Of course, no organization is willing to act on Ayato's behalf when needed.
"On the contrary, there were times when I felt I was being used."
Ayato was able to get through it by following Reiji's actions in terms of his ability to act and how to get along with others.
"These experiences will eventually converge."
He managed to create his own organization, the "City Government".
This is the team that is now called "Taikun.異喰(タイクーン)".
He doesn't think that the "city government" he created is evil.
Ayato emphasized the ability to sense people's hearts.
When this ability became useful, he was able to build relationships with people.
I am interested in people my age who are not familiar with the organizations that exist in most schools and local communities.
They are often feared by those around them, but from Ayato's perspective, they are victims of society.
Ayato was able to understand and sympathize with him unspoken feelings.
A trauma he could not save, although he was able to sympathize with his abused older sister.
It is this that drives Ayato to protect her from the tyranny of society.
Eventually, a large network and community developed around Ayato.
The "organizing power" behind the scenes was created by those who had been excluded from society.
Ayato, who could understand and sometimes even control the untouchables, was known as the "Red Devil" because of his ruthless influence.
And the "communities" called themselves "Taiikuun" and grew into a group known only to those in the know.
Currently, Ayato Nanjo holds the position of "Chairman", not "Head" of the Taiikuun. Until a few months ago, he was "Head", but in order to carry out his own mission of breaking down the barrier between his older sister Sakuya and his best friend Reiji, he gave the status of "Head" to his executives. I trusted them for a while.
There are three executives, and they are called "Three Fingers" in the organization.
Satoru Kogure, Shuichi Amagi and Fugo Nire are the current leaders of Taiikuun.
And it seems that Satoru Kogure is trying to make a secret move.
"First, the other three fingers... Okay, let's talk to Fugo Nire."
