《The One and Only》Chapter 21 – Hurt my Ego III
Advertisement
There is rule on boxing, if you fall knocked down three times, you are not allowed to come back on the fight and you are considered the loser, we already had a loser in Harima but he had yet to take the last third knock out
Kaisei High School
The director gathered all the third-year students from the school and gave us the notice about where our school trip will be, it was pretty obvious where was the place as every year we knew where the third year students went since we were on first year, everyone was excited and I was just making sure that everything go as I planned, every night before sleep I made plans and considered each possible situation that could open the door for my most important goal on this 3 years
Harima had lost, at this point, the meaning of what love was, he just wanted to make Marisa accept his confession because if you think about it, what could he have done next? Harima had never thought of what is next step after being accepted
Okinawa
Harima was with his headphones at top volume as usual, feeling important in his own world, he even had those sunglasses that he bought, during the flight Mikado felt sick the whole trip until we reached the Naha airport
The schedule was to go to Shuri Castle on first day, then to the Churaumi Aquarium on second day and we were going back to Hokkaido on last day
That night
"come Marisa"
Harima pulled Marisa and took her away from the group
"let’s go to the city today before going to the hotel"
Harima wanted to show Marisa that he was a growth man that could take care of her
"ok..."
that night both went to the city of Naha, took dinner at Wac Donalds and took a walk

"we should go back before they notice we are not there Jin"
"yes, but let’s wait a little longer"
he was trying to build enough courage to take Marisa hand, but he could not get himself to do it, and then a miracle, it was not him the one that took Marisa hand, it was her who took Harima hand, Harima was in Heaven and then
"Jin, we have to go back"
Why!!!?? now that she was the one who took the initiative!!!!
Harima then noticed that they walked into the red-light area of Okinawa and he turned red and looked at Marisa who was also red, he called a taxi and went back to the Hotel
Day 2 - Churaumi Aquarium
something was off here, Harima felt something strange, he was acting strange all of a sudden, Marisa looked at him and was worried
"are you ok sir?"
someone got close to Harima and she was not Marisa, Marisa already moved with the other group
"yes, I’m feeling dizzy"
"take this, you will feel better"
she gave water to Harima, and when he looked at her
"are you ok now?"
"is that your name? first time that I see someone with that name"
"oh, my parents are from India"
"yea, i figured out that your name was not Japanese, Sarasvati is not a common name"
".... I hope you feel better"
"thanks"
Benten noticed that Harima had already forgotten about her and the Harima from the future was gone
Outside Aquarium
"are you ok Jin?"
"yea"
"I was worried about you, you seemed lost inside the Aquarium"
The truth is that Harima remembered being at an aquarium with someone else and then suddenly
"Jin, are you really ok?"
a tear was running on Harima cheek
"yea, I’m ok, I don’t know what is this"
Marisa was worried about how Harima felt

That afternoon at the Beach
This is the so-called beach chapter, everyone was on bikinis and shorts, Marisa was on the sand under an umbrella
"c’mon, are you going to swim yes or no?"
"Jin, you know I can’t swim"
"I will teach you"
lucky Harima had already learned how to swim, there were only 2 people on the group that knew how to swim, Mikado was one and Harima was the other, Ennosuke was on the dock watching the fishers hiding from the group because he doesn’t know how to swim
Later that night - Hotal Yugaf Inn Bise
Harima sent a text message to Marisa
"let’s meet at the entrance of the hotel"
"is too late Jin"
"either you go to the entrance or I will get to the women dormitory"
"ok, ok, I don’t want the teacher to lecture us to let’s go quick"
At the entrance
Harima took Marisa outside and started walking, the moonlight was guiding our couple, it was almost time, everything was going well until now, Marisa didn’t say no to anything that Harima asked during the trip so this was your change Harima
"Marisa..."
Harima stopped and took Marisa hand
"Please be my girlfriend”
"how many times are you going to try this Jin? I already said no, we are just friends"
Marisa started walking
"Marisa, this is our last date before graduating"
"this is not a date Jin"
1..................
"yea, but it feels like one"
"not really"
2...................
"c’mon, we went to Wac Donnalds the other day, people had mistaken us as a couple"
"they didn’t Jin"
3...................
"you are ruining the moment Marisa"
"Jin, I was not the one to call you out here at this hour"
4...................
"look, I’m sorry, you could have said no but you are here, it means you care for me"
"......I’m here because I’m worried about our relation as friends"
5....................
"Marisa, I have changed, I’m a growth man, I have a Job"
"18 years doesn't mean you are a growth man if you act like a child Jin"
6...................
"why do I keep believing that you say no to everything that I say?"
"is because that’s the obvious answer to your behavior"
7...................
"what do I have to do to believe me when I say that I love you"
"love? is not love Jin, you have been dragging me into this game of yours, making me feel responsible of how our group broke up, I have been trying my hard to keep your friendship but you insist to call this love and you don’t know about my feelings, you don’t read the mood Jin, I don’t want to be here right now"
8.............(can you continue?) .......yes, I can, watch me
I guess I cannot do anything else now but kill or get killed
"..........."
a silence killed the conversation and Marisa started walking to the women dormitory then Harima held her hand
"you are right Marisa, no wonder you girls got the fruit before us men"
"what are you talking about"
9...................
"......."
"yea, I was playing with you, you seemed as an easy shot so I decided to try my luck, you were not beauty at all, you were average from the start but since you were my best friend sister it seems like everything would go my way, even when Ennosuke got in my way I tried my best to show him that I’m better than him, and yes, this is not love, you were only a trophy that I wanted to show to everyone"
Marisa then slapped Harima face
10.......................
"what bothers me more is
I wonder why I can’t hate you”

The Skywalker Chronicles
Luke Skywalker wakes up nude in a new world after going to bed as usual. Adventure with him as he readily abandons his previous life and discovers all the wonders of this new world. This is my first attempt at writing that I actually posted anywhere. English is my first language but I pretty much suck at it. This novel will have sexual content but as someone who can’t stand reading those grocery store romance novels I will likely do as Robert Jorden and just say “they did it” and end it with a fade out scene. I lied, there will now be grocery store romance novels levels of sex scenes. I will however mark those chapters with “Eros”. Eros as in one of the Greek gods of love making. Feel free to skip those chapters and pretend that it was a fade out sex scene. And finally, this is not a Star Wars Fan Fiction. The origin of the MC’s name will be explained as the story progresses. Skywalker is just such an awesome name I couldn’t help it. Anyways, we all know Star Gate comes in first followed by Star Track and then Star Wars. I give no promises on release dates or time.

Some worlds we know from our popular culture, others are exotic to the extreme.

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
