Teasing Master Takagi-San: Love's Demise

Summary:

One wish.
That was all it was.
And with that wish, Nishikata's entire world came crashing down as he realized what a fool he was to let his desire for petty revenge rule his actions.

Remorseful, bitter, and condemned to bear the burden of his horrid act alone, Nishikata embarks on a dark journey full of hatred, death, and brutal retribution against any who dare to stand in his way.

The innocent, uptight, naive little middle school boy is gone.
In his place is a man on a mission. A mission of vengeance, peril, and fear.
Killing Krampus, the malevolent spirit who stole everything from him on that dark Christmas day in seventh-grade year.

Chapter 1: Irrevocable Sacrifice (Prologue)

Chapter Text

Of all the timelines The Watcher had observed, of all the alternative outcomes he had witnessed, few pained his heart as much as the one he observed now.

So much hatred.

So much bitterness.

All because a young boy had been too naïve to see the gift that was right in front of him.

"We have all heard stories of unrequited love, and perhaps have even been the subject of such an emotion," the Watcher began to say. "But of all those stories, this one...this universe...breaks my heart the most."

"In the timeline we know, the young boy by the name of Ren Nishikata admitted his true feelings to his teaser Mika Takagi-San. Relinquishing his juvenile pursuit of victory in her teasing game, Nishikata took Takagi's hand in marriage and the two of them were blessed with a vibrant, joyful daughter."

The Watcher turned his head to the alternate timeline, where a much more sinister story was playing out.

"But in this universe...Nishikata got his wish."
