“No problem, leave it to me!”
Minoru Kuroe agreed without hesitation.
Stepping out of the Disciplinary Committee office with the patrol handbook, Minoru found a deserted dead end in the stairwell.
With a single thought, he retrieved the [Miniature Detective Disguise Glasses] rewarded by the system earlier.
It was a pair of completely ordinary-looking black-framed glasses.
The moment he put them on, Minoru clearly felt that when occasional passing students swept their gazes past him, their eyes lingered for a much shorter duration, as if he were made of air.
“The effect of lowering presence is super obvious!
It’s practically like a harem MC’s glasses!”
Minoru nodded with satisfaction, then strided off in the direction of the old school building.
Sobu High’s old school building was situated in a remote corner of the school.
Because it had fallen into disrepair over the years, very few students usually came here, which was precisely why it had become a “holy land” for delinquent students to skip class and smoke.
The moment he set foot into the hallway of the old school building, a faint smell of mildew rushed right into his nose.
Minoru frowned, but holding back his discomfort, he sniffed lightly.
After just a few seconds.
“Hmm?
The smell of smoke?”
[Warning!
Warning!]
[An evil event is currently taking place in the vicinity!]
[Event Type: School Bullying, Extortion!]
[Perpetrators: Three senior delinquents.
Victim: Hitori Goto.]
[Location: Second floor of the old school building, in front of the abandoned storage room!]
[Host, please proceed immediately to stop this evil act, protecting the innocent girl’s property and personal safety!]
“Hitori Goto?”
Minoru froze for a moment.
This name sounded a bit familiar…
Wait, isn’t that Bocchi?!
…
At this moment, in front of the abandoned storage room on the second floor of the old school building.
Hitori Goto was huddled in a dark corner, her entire body trembling violently like chaff in the wind.
She had originally just wanted to find a deserted corner today to quietly finish eating the bento her mother had prepared for her.
Then peacefully spend a lonely noon just like usual.
*Uwah…
why does saying it like that make it sound so pathetic…*
Who knew that not long after she sat down, she would be cornered by three delinquents who had come here to smoke. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
“Hey, pinky, stop shaking, we’re not gonna eat you alive.”
A delinquent with dyed yellow hair blew out a smoke ring, looking at Hitori Goto huddled on the ground with a playful face.
“Looking at your outfit, you’re pretty tacky, but since you can afford Sobu High’s tuition, you should have some pocket money on you, right?
How about lending us a few thousand yen to spend?”
“I, I, I…”
Hitori Goto tightly hugged the bento box in her arms, tears already welling up in her eyes.
*Ahhhhh!
What to do, what to do!
I’m being extorted by delinquents!
If I don’t give them money, I’ll definitely get beaten up!*
*I’ll be sold off into the mountains!
Waaaaah, Mom, Dad, Futari, I might not be able to come home…*
Inside her mind, Hitori Goto thought to herself like this.
Yet in reality, seeing Hitori Goto unable to squeeze out a single word for half a day while her entire body kept trembling nonstop, another delinquent with an earring grew impatient.
“Hey, I’m talking to you!
Are you a mute?
Hand over your wallet!”
Saying that, the earring guy directly reached his hand out, wanting to yank Hitori Goto by the collar.
Hitori Goto closed her eyes in terror.
*BANG!*
Just as the earring guy’s hand was about to touch Bocchi.
“Rider Kick!”
A dark silhouette violently burst out from the corner of the hallway!
Immediately leaping high into the air, he kicked the earring guy ruthlessly.
“Guh—”
The moment the earring guy was struck, his entire body flew backward, slamming heavily into a pile of abandoned desks and chairs with a loud “BANG.”
Amidst a flurry of clattering sounds, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
“What?!”
The sudden turn of events gave the remaining delinquents a massive fright.
The two stared intently, only to see a male student wearing black-framed glasses and a [Disciplinary] armband on his left arm, landing steadily on the ground after delivering the kick.
And then…
No fierce battle scene occurred.
After all, they were just punks who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and coupled with the armband on Minoru’s arm.
The three didn’t dare say anything about seeking revenge or the like; they hurriedly picked up the earring guy from the floor and ultimately fled without turning back under the bewildered gazes of Minoru and Bocchi.
As the three pieces of scum vanished at the end of the hallway, Minoru finally turned around, looking toward the pink-haired girl who was still huddled in the corner.
At this moment, inside Hitori Goto’s head, she had already entered a state of utter brainstorm.
*Eh?! Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Sent a guy flying with just one kick?!
Who is this boy wearing glasses?!*
*Wait, he’s looking over here!
He’s walking toward me!*
*Could that have been a conflict between yakuza just now?!*
Hitori Goto’s wild imagination had already broken through the stratosphere; she seemed to already see her own tragic ending of being beaten into a blurred mosaic, put into a gunny sack, and sunk to the bottom of Tokyo Bay.
“Um…”
Minoru walked up to her, having only managed to utter two words.
“I’m sorry!
Please don’t kill me!
I only have five hundred yen on me!
Take all, all of it!
As long as you don’t sink me into Tokyo Bay, you can have me do anything…
Ah, wait, you can’t have me do anything!”
Hitori Goto performed a sudden, desperate dogeza, presenting the pathetic five-hundred-yen coin with both hands, screaming incoherently with her eyes tightly shut.
Looking at Hitori Goto lying on the floor like an ostrich, radiating a heavy aura of “I am very weak” and “Please don’t bully me,” Minoru’s lip twitched slightly.
*Though come to think of it, it seemed to be just like this in the original anime…*
*Then it’s not surprising…
then it’s not surprising…*
“Calm down a bit.”
Minoru let out a helpless sigh, crouching down and pointing at the bright red armband on his left arm.
“I’m a Disciplinary Committee member.
Those guys who were extorting you just now have already been chased away by me.”
“Di-Disciplinary Committee member…?”
Hearing those words, Hitori Goto stopped trembling and cautiously raised her head.
[Ding!
Congratulations to the Host for successfully stopping a malicious event (School Bullying/Extortion)!]
[Successfully protected the innocent girl: Hitori Goto!]
[Event Rating: Grade B.]
[Reward settlement in progress…]
[Obtained Justice Points: 300 points.]
[Current Total Justice Points: 800 points.]
“Alright, no need to force yourself to talk.”
Minoru stood up, helping her pick up the bento box that had fallen onto the floor, patting off the dust before handing it back to her.
“There are usually very few people here and delinquents frequent this spot; it’s very unsafe for a girl like you to eat lunch here.”
Hitori Goto accepted the bento box with both hands, keeping her head lowered, her eyes filled with emotion.
