Start by Becoming a Mangaka

Wakatsuki's strength was very powerful.

They opened their mouths wide when they saw Murobuchi Guzo who had lost and dropped to the ground with missing teeth.

"Yuuki, you're going to fight this person?" Shouko asked. She was a bit scared when she saw the strength of Wakatsuki since one punch could make someone fly away and become embedded into the wall of the arena while creating a huge crater.

"Hmm... It depends whether he can win the next round or not," Yuuki said.

"Oh? Is there someone who can defeat Wakatsuki?" Karla asked.

"The next one is the fight between Julius Reinhold and Sawada," Yuuki said.

"Sawada? That gay man?" Haibara asked.

Yuuki nodded and said, "Sawada is our acquaintance, but Julius Reinhold is the big guy who is full of muscle that we have seen before, remember?"

"Hmm???"

"Remember the five people that we saw during the cruise?" Yuuki said.

"Oh!!"

They remembered the muscular guy who was only wearing a panty, however, that was normal since no normal size clothes would fit into that guy's body.

"Who is going to win?" Isuzu asked.

"Julius," Yuuki said.

Haibara squinted her eyes and said, "You don't want Sawada to win because of that bet, right?"

"Isn't that your fault?" Yuuki said while twitching his lips at Haibara.

"Isn't that good? You should be serious about the match or else you might go on a date with Sawada," Haibara said.

Yuuki shuddered when he thought about it.

"What are you talking about?" Karla asked.

"Ugh... I'll go out to buy a drink first," Yuuki said. He didn't want to hear the conversation between them when it involved a topic about Sawada. He didn't hate Sawada, but if possible he didn't really want to involve him that much.

"I want barley tea," Haibara said.

"Me too," Isuzu said.

Yuuki looked at them and said, "Tell me what you want and I'll buy it for all of you."

They smiled and nodded while telling him what they wanted for the drink.

Sawada was in the arena and he was very excited at that moment.

"You sure are very excited," Togawa said.

"Of course, I'm going to win this match and have a date with him," Sawada said.

"Are you sure he is going to agree with it?" Togawa asked.

"Ugh..." Sawada thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I need to win this match first."

Togawa nodded and patted Sawada's shoulder. "Go and win this tournament."

"Yes." Sawada nodded and smiled before entering the arena.

Togawa crossed her arms while looking at Sawada's back. She was confident in Sawada's strength and believed that he could win.

"Togawa Yoshiko."

Tagawa was startled and hurriedly turned before she saw two guys in front of her.

One of them had an effeminate feeling while dressing in Chinese traditional clothes, and the other one had a muscular body while walking in hunched, bestial posture.

Togawa could tell that both of them were fighters and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"We want you to give up the match," the Chinese man said.

!!!!

"What? You want me to give up?!" Togawa raised her voice when she heard it.

"Yes, just give up now and we won't do anything to you."

"Do you think that I'll give up?" Togawa asked with a frown. Even though she knew that there was a rule that no one could attack the Kengan Association members, it didn't erase the chance that she could be assassinated.

"Oh? You don't want to give up?"

Both of them moved closer toward Togawa and made her more nervous than before.

Clank! Clank!

It was at this moment that suddenly they heard a noise on their backs.

!!!

They turned and they saw someone was there buying something from the vending machine.

Yuuki looked at three of them and said, "Oh, Togawa."

"YUUKI!!!!" Togawa felt that she had seen her savior at that moment. She hurriedly ran toward his direction as fast as possible.

The two guys didn't stop Togawa, but put their attention toward Yuuki. Even though they didn't see anything, they felt the moment they attacked the woman, they would receive an attack immediately.

"Who are you two?" Yuuki asked.

Togawa was hiding behind Yuuki for protection.

"This isn't your business," the man said.

"You're doing something to my friend and you're telling me that it is not my business?" Yuuki asked.

It was at this moment that the man heard something from the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Nikaido, let me talk to him."

The effeminate man nodded and raised the walkie-talkie.

"Ichijou Yuuki."

"Who are you?" Yuuki asked. However, he knew that the person on the walkie talkie should be the boss of both of them.

"I know about your bet, do you want that gay man to win?"

"......."

Yuuki was speechless and wondering how this guy was able to know the bet that had been done by Haibara and Sawada. He looked at Togawa for confirmation.

"W - Well... Sawada might have been drunk yesterday and said that he would have a date with you," Togawa said with an awkward smile.

"......"

"No, I want him to lose, but not with forcing his employer to give up," Yuuki said.

"You're going to become my enemy?"

"......" Yuuki was wondering whether the boss of on the walkie-talkie had watched too much anime. "Everyone in this tournament is an enemy."

"Then, isn't that good for me to eliminate this woman first since she is also your enemy."

"That's true, but I hope that you can defeat her fighter fairly," Yuuki said.

"Yuuki...." Togawa was moved by Yuuki.

"Why should I do that?"

"Because if you don't then Sawada might say that the bet is invalid and try to ask me for a date or something for a lot of reasons after this battle," Yuuki said.

"........"

They weren't sure what to say when they heard Yuuki's reason.
