Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Stella had been curious about this question for a while since she could tell that the way Tsukasa worked hard wasn’t normal. It was hard that she could imagine him sweating blood and covered in many wounds, especially after she knew that he could develop all of those techniques by himself and how he could develop his control over magic so precisely.

Stella wanted to know what drove him so much right now.

Tsukasa didn’t answer Stella’s question right away, but he asked, “Stella, why did you want to become strong?”

Stella looked at Tsukasa for a moment and could see his sincere expression, asking her that question, so she didn’t hesitate and answered, “So I can protect my country.”

“Protect your country?” Tsukasa looked at Stella and thought that this perverted princess was more admirable than he had thought.

Stella nodded and explained. “You should know how important the existence of Blazer for one’s country is. Without a strong Blazer, the country will be in danger.”

Tsukasa nodded since he knew the world was full of wars, and many Blazers misused their power and trampled many people with their power. He also often heard that there were many developed countries that were terrorized by Blazers, and even this country, which was known as one of the safest countries in the world, there were many terrorists that attacked this country.

The world wasn’t in a peaceful place, and it was dangerous.

“In our country, the strongest Blazer is the only C-rank Blazer.” Stella clenched her fist and said with a determined expression, “Which is why I have decided to become stronger so I can protect everyone.”

“The Vermillion Empire is lucky to have a princess like you, Stella,” Tsukasa said sincerely and really thought that the citizens of the Vermilion Empire were lucky to have Stella as their princess. Still, he could imagine how the citizens of the Vermilion Empire would be on a rampage if they knew that their princess was living with a male, so it was better to keep the fact that they were living together as a secret.

Stella was embarrassed by Tsukasa’s praise and quickly changed the topic. “How about you? You haven’t told me! It isn’t fair!”

Tsukasa sighed and said, “My purpose of becoming stronger isn’t as admirable as yours, Stella.”

“Oh?” Stella was surprised, but she quickly said, “It’s alright. Everyone has their own dream or aspirations. You don’t need to get embarrassed.” She wondered whether Tsukasa had a selfish desire or something to become stronger, but even so, she wouldn’t change her view of him.

Tsukasa looked at Stella helplessly and said, “The reason I can become stronger is so that I can protect myself.”

“Protect yourself?” Stella was dumbfounded before confusion appeared on her face.

Tsukasa wasn’t surprised by Stella’s reaction since as long as one became Blazer, they were simply invincible in the eyes of people. “Stella, do you think I’m handsome?”

“………” Stella.

Tsukasa didn’t care about Stella’s reaction and continued. “Stella, while I know that it might sound narcissistic, I can say that I am the most handsome and beautiful man in this world.”

“………” Stella.

“However, being the most handsome and beautiful man in this world isn’t all fun.” Tsukasa sighed and said, “14574 times. Do you know what number this is?”

Stella shook her head in confusion.

“That’s the number of times that I have received sexual harassment from someone,” Tsukasa said with a tired sigh.

“…” Stella.

Many people think that being the most handsome and beautiful man in this world is wonderful, but that wasn’t the truth.

Many people are lusting for him.

If it was a beautiful woman, whether they were older or of a similar age, Tsukasa didn’t really mind, but the problem was that even a male was also attracted to him. There was even dinosaur type of people that had huge bodies and skin like reptiles. The thought of him being almost raped by those people gave him a shudder.

“Strength is necessary to survive in this world,” Tsukasa said with a sigh again.

“Wh-What about Toudou-senpai? Can she protect you?” Stella asked with concern since she didn’t expect that Tsukasa’s problem was more serious than she had thought, but at the same time, she became even amazed by Tsukasa’s character since if it was someone else, they might give up on their fate, but he was persistent and didn’t stop to achieve his goal.

“She can protect me, but there’s no way that she can do it all the time,” Tsukasa said simply since there was no way that Touka could protect him all the time.

“I can protect you!” Stella said suddenly.

“…….” Tsukasa.

“If it’s me, I can protect you!” Stella said confidently while staring into his eyes firmly, telling him to leave everything to her and let him be protected by her.

Tsukasa looked at Stella for a moment and wondered whether this girl was trying to propose to him, but he pretended that he didn’t understand.

“I’m happy with your thoughts, Stella, but as a man, I don’t want to hide behind the back of a woman all the time.”

Tsukasa was also a man, after all, and of course, he also had his own pride.

While it might sound sexist, that was how man was, right?

Tsukasa also didn’t hate the feeling of getting stronger since every improvement on his body brought him happiness.

Stella looked at Tsukasa in a daze again and suddenly asked, “By the way, how did you meet Toudou-senpai?” While she might have talked with Touka before, she was in a daze and shocked after she heard that Touka was Tsukasa’s girlfriend, so she spent most of the time eating to erase her stress.

However, after a night of thought, Stella just couldn’t give up so easily since it was her first time to feel this feeling.

“Hmm… I might not have told you, but I have been abandoned in the forest when I was a baby,” Tsukasa said calmly.

“…Wh-What?!” Stella clenched her fists, and if possible, she wanted to smash Tsukasa’s parents with her sword.

“However, frankly, I like my life in the forest more,” Tsukasa said with a sigh since his life in the forest was really carefree. When it was hot in the summer, he would play on the river. When it was cold in the winter, he would hug the body of a mama bear. If he was hungry, many mama animals would share their milk with him. If he was bored, he could also play with many children of the animals.

Tsukasa’s life was so happy and carefree that he told his story to Stella.

Even Stella laughed, hearing his funny experience, living in the forest for the past four years.

“Touka-nee was the first human that I had ever seen in my life,” Tsukasa said.

“……”

Stella was dumbfounded and asked, “Wh-Why did you go out from the forest then?” She has never felt so much regret that she was born in the Vermillion Empire as of right now. ‘If I was born in Fukuoka…’

“Because I was bored with the food in the forest, when I walked around, I happened to meet Touka, and she shared her food with me. By then, I was living in the human world with Touka and everyone in the Wakaba House until I met you now,” Tsukasa said, ending with an explanation about his life. There were many things that he didn’t explain, but it might take a long time to explain them, so he didn’t explain them.

Stella had often heard that to conquer men was by conquering their stomach, so when she thought of how Touka conquered Tsukasa, she felt that words were right somehow.

“Let’s end our story now. I’m getting hungry now,” Tsukasa said as he rubbed his stomach.

“Wa-Wait, Tsukasa! I’ll be the one who cooks breakfast now!” Stella said quickly since she also wanted to conquer Tsukasa’s stomach.

“…..”

Tsukasa looked at Stella and thought what kind of idiotic things this girl was thinking about again.
