I Received an NTR V*deo - Episode 35

Morning, Before Class.
The day before, I had Yamamoto unlock the rooftop door for me. That’s where I met Sugiura.
“With this video, you could press charges against them. Whether you report it to the school or involve the police—it’s up to you, Sugiura.”
“……”
The video I sent to Sugiura showed him being bullied by Yamamoto and the others.
I had Imura secretly record several clips, and I handed everything over to him.
But Sugiura looked pale.
His expression was clouded with fear and uncertainty.
“I can’t… I can’t do this. I can’t do anything.”
“You’re just choosing to do nothing.”
“I really can’t! If I report this, they’ll come after me again… it’ll be even worse next time.”
Sugiura was completely terrified of Yamamoto and his group.
His body and mind were still trapped under the weight of that fear.
“It’s your choice to let this go. They might not lay a hand on you again. But moving forward matters too. If you don’t deal with this now, it’ll stay with you forever. You’ll live in the shadow of it for the rest of your life.”
“Even so… I can’t. I’m scared. Too scared to do anything.”
“Yamamoto and the others are the same. They just picked someone weaker to make themselves feel powerful. But deep down, they’re scared too. Everyone is.”
Sugiura kept his head down, silent.
“It’s scary for everyone at first. But once you take that first step, you realize it’s not as bad as it seemed. You’ll be okay. Those guys… they’re not scary. Not really.”
“I am scared… I’m terrified.”
“Then stay scared your whole life if that’s what you want. But I don’t think that’s what you want. You’re angry too, aren’t you?”
“Of course I am! I want those bastards to rot in hell! But I still can’t do anything!”
Watching Sugiura shout, I laughed.
But not at him.
I was thinking about Yamamoto and the others.
“When I waved this video in front of them, they freaked out. Totally panicked, shaking in fear.”
“What…?”
“Like I said, everyone’s afraid of something. And anyone can become stronger. Once you realize your own strength, you’ll see how weak they really are. Just like the old you.”
“……”
As we were talking, Yamamoto and his crew ran onto the rooftop.
I’d told them to come, but they looked utterly desperate.
“Hey! What the hell is going on?! You said if we did what you wanted, you wouldn’t tell anyone!”
“I said I wouldn’t report anything. If Sugiura decides to do it, well, you brought that on yourselves.”
Pale-faced, Yamamoto and the others bowed their heads to Sugiura.
Sugiura looked at them in disbelief.
“Sugiura! Please, we’re begging you, keep this a secret!”
“We’re sorry for everything! Please, forgive us!”
“……”
Sugiura’s expression changed.
He’d looked pale before, but now his face was slowly flushing with anger.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and then he shouted.
“You think I can just forgive you?! It was hell. I was scared every day. I wanted to die! You hurt my body and crushed my heart! No apology will ever make up for that—I’ll never forgive you!”
“W-wait… please reconsider!”
“We’re begging you!”
The tables had turned completely.
From tormentors to the ones being judged.
Yamamoto and the others didn’t seem remorseful—only desperate to protect themselves.
“They won’t retaliate. They’re not the kind of idiots who’d risk more punishment once they know you’re serious about pressing charges.”
“Thank you, Enjo. I’m ready to move forward now. I don’t want my life to stay dark because I let weak people like them keep me down. I want a future filled with light.”
Sugiura’s eyes were clear—like he had been reborn.
“My recommendation? Get a lawyer, and go through the proper authorities. That’s the best path.”
“Yeah. I’ll do that.”
“N-no… you’ve gotta be kidding me…”
“Please, have mercy!”
Yamamoto and his group begged, but it was over.
They were going to be reported as criminals by Sugiura.
And it was nothing more than the natural consequence of their actions.
Justice was simply being served.

“Yujiro.”
I came to the café where I used to meet Megumi.
When I arrived, she was already there—wearing a mask.
“The mask… what happened?”
“Um… my tooth broke.”
She’d been punched by Netori, apparently.
I felt sorry for her, but all I could offer was sympathy.
Without saying anything, I sat across from her.
“Megumi, here.”
“What is it?”
I handed her a bag—the one Hiro gave me.
“Compensation. I got it from Netori.”
“Compensation…?”
500,000 yen. Forced out of Netori by Hiro—for getting her pregnant, and for abusing her.
When I explained to the other victims what had happened, they all gladly agreed to let their share go to Megumi.
“Whether you keep the child or not, you’ll need money. You deserve at least this much.”
“Yujiro…”
Megumi lowered her head and trembled.
“You’re always so kind… so dependable… What was I even doing?”
“……”
“I thought we’d be together forever. I wish Netori had never shown up.”
“But it’s too late. You chose him. You betrayed me.”
Megumi suddenly looked up, her face twisted with sorrow.
“I never meant to betray you! I was tricked, used, treated like a toy… I know I was wrong, but the one who did the worst was Netori!”
“I know. Netori is the worst. No question. You were a victim. But you still betrayed me.”
“Ugh…”
Megumi broke into tears, hugging the bag tightly, her head bowed again.
“This is compensation for the victim. It might not feel like enough, but what’s done can’t be undone. We can’t go back. It’s over between us.”
“Can’t we start over? Can’t we raise the baby together?”
“No. It’s not my child.”
She looked up at me, her tear-stained face desperate.
But I felt nothing. I simply looked back at her, calm and detached.
“I still love you, Yujiro. No—more than before. I really want to be with you forever!”
“If it were real love, you wouldn’t have betrayed me. There’s a difference between ‘truly loving’ someone and ‘thinking you truly love’ someone. Most people only think they’re serious. If it were real, you wouldn’t have been swayed. You only thought you loved me—that’s how shallow it was.”
“I’m sorry for betraying you… but if you give me another chance, I’ll love you for real this time!”
I stood up and handed her a piece of paper.
“It won’t be easy, but do your best. If you decide to keep the baby and need child support, contact this number. They’ll collect it from Netori for you.”
Megumi took the paper and looked up at me with pleading eyes.
It was Hiro’s contact info.
He would gladly take on the job—he had a good heart and always sided with the ones suffering.
“Is it… really over?”
“Yeah. I don’t have any feelings left for you. Thank you for everything.”
“Yujiro… I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…”
I turned my back and left the café.
“Don’t go, Yujiro!!”
Megumi’s voice echoed behind me.
I didn’t look back.
“……”
I looked up at the red sky and let out a sigh.
In the end, Megumi only ever talked about herself.
Hoshina, on the other hand, always put others first.
Megumi was always at the center of every crowd.
Hoshina stood on the outside, quietly observing.
But Megumi was self-centered, and Hoshina was endlessly considerate.
Megumi left me for Netori.
Hoshina turned away from Netori and came toward me.
Megumi was influenced by him—Hoshina wasn’t.
Megumi, who once had everything, lost so much.
But Hoshina…
What has Hoshina gained?
“I want to see her soon.”
I started walking toward the station,
Thinking only of Hoshina.
After that day, Megumi stopped coming to school.
I never saw her again.
And I never found out what happened to the baby.
