Myithoughts becameidownright disorganized atithat moment.

Theithought that somethingisinister was about toiensue naturally sentitremors through myibody, and Iithrew the garbageibag I was carrying into the dumpster and left theiplace.
Iireturned to the frontiof theistore, feigning composure as though nothing hadihappened, but perspiration drenched myihands, my pulse wasiracing, and by all accounts, I was not calm.
Thei25-year-old freeter was pathetically reassurediby the brightness of the store.

I heavedia small sigh thaticouldnt be heard.
The delinquentsiwere still hanging outiin front of theistore. Theyiwere too muchiof a nuisance for heavens sake, hurryiup and disappear.
While experiencing a strangeisense of fatigue, Iitook a big detour aroundithe delinquents hangoutiand walked to theientrance of theistore.

Oi, you were justieavesdropping on us, werent you? Right?
I couldnt sayiyes, so I clenched my teeth and heldione of my arms to protect the shoulder that hadibeen pushed away. Perhaps this actioniwas interpreted as defiance, the leaderiof the group furrowed hisibrow deeply and cameiat me forcefully. It was agonizing to be seized by the chestiwith all his force, and I unconsciously turned my face awayiin discomfort when he blewihis rough breath, which reeked of alcohol, at closeirange.
Goodigrief such people who have been drinking were trulyiawful.

Theiexpression in the eyes of the man in front of me shifted as I said these words whileihe gripped me by the chest.
I was convincedithat I was going to beibeaten.
No, I was preparedito be beaten up, and I saidithat bombshell remark thatiwould rub the delinquentsithe wrong way. Underinormal circumstances, I would have just letiit drift by, and prioritized myiown safety, even if theiresult was hard to swallow.
Tonight, though, Iiwas in a foulimood.
Therefore, evenithough I wouldisuffer a little pain, I decided to be a bit more honestiwith myself.
Aisolid fist flew at me from diagonallyiacross me.
Oi Whatiwas with that lumpy, pointed silveriring?
