[Start]Revengeance Fund: 3070¥
Today
has been a roller coaster of emotions. Like for real… and I don’t like tot alk
about my feelings typically, being a man… a manly man who knows karate, and a
total hard ass that busts heads at random cause I can. So this is kind of a big
deal for me, but I’ll get to that when I get to that.
I woke
up this morning knowing that I would be meeting Charlie today and that it was
probably a trap. At least he couldn’t surprise me, but I knew that I needed to
be ready because the guy has contacts in the local underworld, when he jumps me
it ain’t gonna be no easy fight. I went to the dojo and meditated on it
briefly, visualizing my foot entering Charlie’s ass and kicking his teeth out
from the back. Fuku-san came in and asked me about what I was doing, he knows I’m
about to throw down, because I told him I was on a quest for vengeance, and
because I’m a bad mother fucker and you can just tell.
Anyways
Fuku-san begs me not to go fight Charlie, because he’s afraid something bad
might happen to me and he’d feel responsible if he didn’t try to stop me. Now I
am touched by Fuku-san’s concern, don’t get me wrong, but this is the same guy,
who not even 5 days ago begged me to take him with me on my quest of bad ass
head busting Revenge. Fuku-san… somedays I don’t know about you. This didn’t
stop me from kicking the shit out of him. Nothing like practicing my sweet
moves off the back of his soft head.
Well
Ine-san heard what I was doing, my plans, me whipping FUku-san’s ass,
everything. She begged me to give up my quest for revenge and instead run the
dojo. Now I would be more than happy too, except that 1) you won’t give me more
than 500¥ a day, 2) I have no access to family finance accounts or records, and
3) you already told me I’m not allowed to do what I want with MY dojo. Jokingly
tell an old woman you want to train the country’s most elite team of all female
ninja sex-assassins, and all of a sudden you can’t run a dojo you own
unsupervised.
But she did give me a note that
came for my father a few days after he died. If I read the post mark correctly
it arrived the day my quest started, Dec 3rd. Would’ve been nice to
have then. The letter itself is written in Chinese, I know this because its
clearly not Japanese Kanji, or any kana I’ve ever seen, and there aren’t enough
straight lines and circles to be Korean. Also there is a customs stamp which
says “Rush delivery from Hong Kong.” So kind of a big clue. I had to promise
her I wouldn’t do anything that might get me hurt, I think she meant this to
deter me from my quest for revenge… so in order to keep that promise I must
only do the things that will definitely and more than likely get me hurt. Screw
uncertainty, I promised Ine-san, so now I HAVE to go fight Charlie.
Ain’t I a Stinker?
Well I
was on my way to Dobuita to kill time until I met with Charlie, when a bunch of
kids came at me, one of them crying out that a man in sunglasses had attacked
him and wouldn’t give him back his soccer ball if he didn’t bring me to the
construction site at Sakuragaoka. A bunch of assholes coming to me for their
ass whippins? Bout dam time. Mind you this does reveal a startling fact that
they probably know where I live, but I’ll unwisely choose to deal with that some
other time. I went to Charlie and he had like 6 guys with him at the construction
site. The kid got his soccer ball back and was supposed to run, instead he sat
there and watched. Don’t blame him, I am a sight to behold.
I
kicked the shit out of all of Charlie’s buds except for one, when all of a
sudden Charlie grabbed the little kid who hung out and threatened him if I did
anything. I swear I didn’t plan this… awesome of this level just happens. I
noticed the soccer ball on the ground in front of me, I kicked that son of a
bitch as hard as I could and hit Charlie in the face, making him drop the kid.
At the exact same time his buddy was coming up behind me with a knife or
something, cat like reflexes kicked in, and I blocked the knife knocked it
away, then did a flying round house kick and knocked this asshole the fuck out!
BaZAAM! Charlie got away but he will rue the day… and him running away like
that instead of taking his ass whippin like a man… he’s just begging me for
more rue.
The kid
was grateful for my saving him, as well he should be. He was a new kid to the
neighborhood. He’s Chinese, I forget his name, it had a lot of syllables. And
with Charlie gone after the obvious trap that I had know was a trap turned out
to be a, ‘gasp’ trap… my last 4 days of investigating had amounted to nothing.
All I had left was a letter to dad that was written in a language I didn’t
understand. Frustration, anger, I wish I had some High school punks to knock
around right now.
I went
to Dobuita to see if anyone could read the dam letter, I started with Tao-san.
That was a mistake. Tao-san explains that despite being Chinese, leader of the
Dobuita Chinese Society who doesn’t know a lot of Chinese, and opening and
operating a Chinese restaurant… he himself doesn’t understand the written
language all that well. I would have banged my head on his wall again but… I
don’t know what I was expecting. He mentioned his helper Wang-san was good with
Kanji and to ask him, the squirrely little bastard owes me since I’ve bought
him drinks twice when he had no money, so I went to look for him running
deliveries on Dobuita Market Street.
Between
Wang-san, who was a pain in the ass to find by the way, Itoi-san, Maeda-san,
and both Liu-sans, I was able to learn this much… it’s Chinese Kanji, but it’s
kind of written weird and they can’t understand it. So I calmly went to the
empty parking lot next to the smoke shop to kick the shit out of the air, my
dad’s ghost if he was nearby, and just vent my frustrations while showing off
my sweet moves. Not gonna lie, 3 girls gave me their phone numbers just from
seeing what a bad ass I was.
After I
finished beating up the air, I ran into the Chinese kid I saved earlier. He
told me that while he wasn’t good at reading Chinese, big surprise, his
grandmother was. She runs a China (plates) shop over by Liu-san’s barbershop. I’ve
passed it before but usually its closed. Well I decided that “Fuck it” and went
to check it out, today the place was open. LUCKY.
I went
inside and the old woman inside was extremely polite and thankful that I saved
her grandson from being murdered and probably molested by Charlie. As well she
should… I asked her to translate the letter, and I half expected her to say “I
don’t know what this is, you’ll have to go somewhere else,” instead she was
like “Oh I know what this is, check this out senior badass-sama.” Yeah, she
totally said that. Turns out the kanji wasn’t wonky or weird, just written
mirrored, so it had to be read while being reflected in a mirror. Whoever wrote
this thing is a clever son of a bitch, and I’d like to buy him a drink: grape
soda, orange soda, or coffee… his pick.
The
note contained a warning to be careful of those seeking the Mirrors, and if in
trouble to seek the aid of Master Chen. It also had some gibberish on the back
that probably means nothing, even the old lady didn’t understand it, but there
was a phone number on the letter, and its local. With the Charlie lead fizzled
out, this letter about Master Chen is all I got right now. I decided not to
call the number today. And I probably won’t call it tomorrow either. I’m so
fucking tired right now. I’ve been in a fight every day for the last 4 days. I’ve
probably killed 10 guys and injured a bunch more. I need a break before I lose
my mind.
Spent a
lot of money today, found a newer cheaper food for the cat. And I discovered a
store in Dobuita that sells instruction manuals for fighting techniques, so I
went and bought some new sweet moves. There are more moves there to buy. So
with the prospects of getting a job or earning money low to nothing, I’m gonna
have to wait until Ine-san gives me enough money to get them. When I attacked
Lan Di he threw me like I was nothing. I need some new bad ass moves, and to
make my current moves even stronger if I ever hope to stand a chance against
him. Or I could buy a gun, which would be equally effective against him if not
more-so, still gotta have money to buy a gun. Tom is American, he can probably
hook me up with one.
When I
got home, I got a call from Nozomi… this usually doesn’t happen so it raised a
flag in my head. She asked to meet me at Sakuragaoka park, so I went. She
seemed really bummed out. Which after the day I’ve had started bumming me out,
and now I’m all over the place like a super ball made of emotions. She told me
her parents want her to move back to Canada, but she doesn’t know when she’ll
be leaving. She then pretty much tells me she doesn’t want to leave before she
tells me that she’s in love with me. Again I’m all over the place today, so
normally this is where I act all cool, and suave, and then I talk her into
going to a Love Hotel so we can make sweet sweet love until the sun comes up.
Instead I fucking choked and rambled something along the lines of “I don’t know
how I feel yet, but when I figure it out I’ll tell you.” She accepted that
response and went home. I’m such a loser.
Went
home and played Space Harrier until it was time for bed. I’m so fucking tired
of all this shit.
