Smack!
In the corner of the room, a phone was thrown down in front of Kamishiro, who was tied up in a tortoise-shell binding.
At the same time, a voice desperately suppressing its anger came from above.
"This is what you meant by 'no impact at all'?!"
(;＿;)
"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem…"
Kamishiro's eyes darted about, not daring to look directly at Aina and Chisa.
He then looked down at the phone on the floor. He really wanted to see where things had gone wrong—had those beasts completely given up their right to choose a partner just to kill him?
"Huh? It still looks normal. There's nothing about you guys?"
After reading it, Kamishiro looked at Aina and Chisa in confusion. The content was basically just people cursing him for being shameless and mobilizing everyone still in Tokyo to put a bounty on him.
There were no comments about Aina and Chisa—at most, a few bounties incidentally included Kitahara and Kohei.
This time they'd gotten smarter with the bounty: catch the person first, then exchange one hand for the person and the other for the money.
The scary part was… 'dead or alive'—wasn't that a bit much?!
Kamishiro felt his life was under serious threat.
Fortunately, the people present weren't particularly greedy for money, or he might already have been handed over.
At the very least, the number written there was hard not to be tempted by!
But unfortunately, the one being hunted was himself—he wasn't that suicidal!
Seeing the slightly puzzled look in Kamishiro's eyes, Aina stared at him with dead-fish eyes and said, "Scroll down."
"..."
"Huh? Why aren't you doing it? Afraid now?"
"..."
"You…"
"Wait a second!"
Kamishiro directly interrupted Aina, then looked at her with a pitiful, idiot-seeing gaze.
"Do you think, in my current condition, I can scroll down?"
Because of the binding, he couldn't move at all, okay?!
Azusa nee's skill was already almost on par with his!
That's right—this tortoise-shell binding was generously provided by Azusa. It both got revenge on Kamishiro for disappearing without a word earlier and satisfied a tiny bit of her own perverse desire.
After all, since learning this technique, she'd never had a real test subject before—what a pity.
At this moment, seeing that her work made no difference between a real person and a model, Azusa nodded in satisfaction.
Experiment successful!
She then very subtly glanced at Nanaka beside her.
Gulp~
Azusa secretly swallowed. You see, the main reason she learned this skill was for Nanaka!
Just imagining Nanaka's figure paired with her own handiwork made Azusa's heart burn with heat.
She'd have to find time to trick Nanaka and realize her own tiny, insignificant dream!
Meanwhile, standing in front of Kamishiro, Aina's aura faltered. The corners of her mouth twitched as she looked at him awkwardly.
She'd been so focused on being angry that she'd forgotten the culprit was still tied up.
Then—
Aina, using what she believed was a very quick motion, fumbled around and scrolled the post to the part related to her and Chisa.
She then looked at Kamishiro with forced confidence and said, "This is what you call 'no impact at all'?!"
"..."
Kamishiro silently looked at Aina. So… if they did it again, they could pretend everything before never happened?
Wake up, idiot!
If it were really that simple, he wouldn't be looking for a time machine every single time!
That said, sometimes it really could be treated like a time machine.
For example, right now—looking at the cold glint in Aina's eyes, Kamishiro had absolutely no intention of pointing it out.
He was afraid that someone might fly into a rage and dump him into the sea without even wanting the bounty!
Kamishiro sighed and completely resigned himself, lowering his head to look at the phone again.
This time, he froze.
The content was a little different from what he'd imagined?
"Godfather of a certain high school: How hateful—have two more beautiful girls fallen victim again? Damn that scumbag!"
"Leader of a certain high school's F4 – Tadakuni: Don't ignore the two guys next to him. They're clearly together even stripping together at the station, they are definitely best friends!"
"Leader of a certain high school's F4 – Hidenori: You think, two girls and three guys… could it be like what I'm imagining?"
"Leader of a certain high school's F4 – Yoshitake: ??? (▼皿▼＃) Destroy it! Destroy everything!"
"Komoe-sensei: Eh eh eh?! No lewd stuff allowed!"
"I'll always love loli Komoe-sensei: Komoe-sensei actually knows about that, ehehhehe?‵?"
"Touma doesn't want to be unlucky today: Well, Komoe-sensei's age is…"
"Komoe-sensei: Touma, stay after class today!"
"Touma doesn't want to be unlucky today: Such misfortune!!!"
"Yamanaka Sawako: (╬皿╬) Everyone, please stop talking about irrelevant things—this thread is getting derailed!"
"Future Diary: Exactly. So does anyone have information about these two girls? I have some little gifts I'd like to give them~
SmileSmile.jpg"
"Need to rent a girlfriend, come to me: Well, I've got some gifts too~"
"Juju: ..."
"Mafuyu: ..."
"Bocchi: Eh eh eh?! Should I join too?"
"Bocchi: ..."
"..."
After finishing this page, the corners of Kamishiro's mouth twitched.
He'd almost forgotten—his school seemed to have quite a few yandere-type characters too.
Kamishiro smiled awkwardly at the two of them. "Um… actually, you don't really need to worry. As long as you don't run into a very small number of yanderes, your safety shouldn't be a problem. No one will harass you—probably…"
You have to know, at school, although there are some minor frictions among girls, overall it's still very 'harmonious'!
You don't really hear about any major conflicts or anything like that.
They were probably just talking online. They wouldn't really come and cause trouble for Chisa and the others.
And judging from the post just now, nobody showed any real hostility either.
"Maybe… they are just normal gifts?"
(;＿;)
After saying that, even Kamishiro himself lacked confidence. That line wouldn't even fool Yamamoto!
"..."
Aina and Chisa didn't say anything. They simply stared at Kamishiro expressionlessly, then kept scrolling down the screen with their fingers.
Kamishiro saw the follow-up content…
Because of Yamanaka-sensei, the thread hadn't derailed at all!
More and more girls joined in. With the temptations of "used stockings," "dating opportunities," and so on, the popularity of Chisa and Aina inexplicably surpassed even Iori and Kohei.
After all… compared to teaching a scumbag a lesson, one's own happiness was obviously more important.
After reading it all, Kamishiro only wanted to say one word: ridiculous!
He had basically guessed what these girls were planning to do—they just wanted to find him before the boys did!
And then… claim him for themselves!
As for the rewards the boys would get, they probably really would just be rewards, with absolutely no chance of going any further!
After all… hadn't the people who truly came out of his side already found new partners?
#LOL
Thinking about it that way, these guys were actually pretty pitiful.
They'd exhaust every possible means to look for him, only to end up seeing him flying off hand in hand with their goddess.
They were even worse than Boiling Sheep!
With that thought, Kamishiro instantly felt much more at ease—at least his own safety was guaranteed in the end, right?
However, for the time being, Kamishiro had no intention of telling everyone this truth.
On one hand, he was afraid Kitahara and Kohei might sell him out—no need to doubt it, those two would absolutely do something like that!
On the other hand… things hadn't gotten that serious yet, had they?
As a free man, how could he give up an entire forest for the sake of a single tree?
He aspired to be a man who held sovereignty, a man on top!
He was this world's—
Smack!
"Stop grinning like an idiot and think of a solution already!"
(▼皿▼＃)
Aina, her face full of anger, smacked Kamishiro on the head. She was about to lose her mind—how did this guy still have the leisure to smile?!
"Cough, cough, sorry… I was thinking of something happy…"
Only then did Kamishiro realize he'd completely forgotten to manage his expression. He hurriedly put on a sorrowful look.
But that corner of his mouth… harder to suppress than an AK!
Seeing the unfriendly expressions of the others, Kamishiro quickly said, "How about letting me reply to it?"
Mainly because this tied-up posture made him extremely uncomfortable—he had the illusion he was about to get bent over at any second!
Hearing this, Aina looked at Kamishiro suspiciously. "You're not planning to run again, are you?"
(;＿;)
"H-how could that be? If you're really worried, you can have Kitahara guard the door."
Damn it, where was the most basic trust between people?!
"Alright then."
Aina nodded. Since Kamishiro said so much, she decided to trust him one more time.
And then—
Once freed, Kamishiro stared speechlessly at the room's doorway.
They really did send Kitahara to guard it!
And—
"That's a bit overkill, isn't it…?"
At the doorway now stood not only Kitahara, but also… Kohei and two senpai!!!
Was his credibility really that low?!
"This is the safest method! Alright, stop dawdling and post it already!"
With that, Aina angrily stuffed the phone into Kamishiro's arms.
After all, anyone who suffered such an unwarranted disaster would be furious.
"Leave it to me!"
Kamishiro wore a confident expression. As their former closest friend, he knew exactly how to handle this.
He was about to start showing off!
First!
He needed to stir up everyone's sympathy!
"Want a pink: Um… is it possible that the two girls are also victims?"
After all, everyone was a victim—why should victims make things hard for other victims?
Then!
He needed some sockpuppets!
Kamishiro directly picked up Chisa's phone, planning to go on a like-and-support spree.
However…
Before he could even get going, his typing hand froze stiffly in midair.
Aina and the others leaned in, puzzled.
They saw that someone had already replied under that comment.
"Leader of a certain high school's F4: This tone… why does it feel so familiar? It kind of feels like that scumbag Kamiyo."
At that moment, the air froze!
Kamishiro mechanically turned his head.
"Um… do you think there's still any point in trying to save this?"
Everyone: (▼皿▼＃)
"Sink him into the sea!!!"
...
Tokyo Station
No one knew what was going on today, but all kinds of perverts had gathered in Tokyo!
At this moment, two middle-aged police officers with rich experience in arresting perverts were staring intently at four people lying prostrate on the ground ahead, as if on a pilgrimage.
"Kuroba-kun, do we really not need to do anything about them?"
"Mm, not for now. If it's just like this, it hasn't reached the level of perversion yet."
"But the aura they give off…"
"..."
At the mention of aura, the two officers fell silent.
The reason they were watching them so warily was entirely because the pervert aura emanating from those four was far too strong!
As veteran cops with extensive experience, they could tell at a glance whether someone was a pervert or not!
And these four… without a doubt!
They were undiscovered perverts!
Although they really wanted to arrest them, without evidence they simply couldn't make a move.
They couldn't just arrest people because their expressions were too lewd—that would get them complained about!
"Forget it, let them go."
"But the safety of the girls in the city…"
"Don't worry. There's still a legendary figure in the city."
"A legendary figure? You mean?!"
At Kuroba's reminder, the other officer seemed to think of something as well.
"Heh heh~" A teasing smile appeared on Kuroba's face, as if he could already see those perverts being brought to justice.
"That's Tokyo's pride—a criminal nemesis, known as the 'Demon Vice-Commander'."
Thinking of that smug face, the two aging officers suddenly felt at ease.
"Kids these days are really impressive."
"Haha, it's because we have such outstanding juniors that we can enjoy our retirement with peace of mind."
"Exactly. I really hope there'll be more like him. But speaking of which…"
"What is it?"
"Why is his nickname 'Demon Vice-Commander'? Isn't that a bit too arrogant? Does the deputy director really have no objections?"
"..."
At that point, the two suddenly fell silent.
Yeah—why would a junior have such an outrageous nickname?
Truly incomprehensible~
...
Elsewhere, the group of perverts now under special attention were kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.
"Tokyo!"
"A big city!"
"A meet-and-greet!"
"Momono—sob sob sob!!!"
"Keep it down, you idiot!" ×3
Yamamoto and the others glared angrily at Fujiwara, that big dumb guy. No matter how excited you were, you couldn't say something like that in a station!
Otherwise, you'd definitely be arrested as a pervert!
Because of carrying dangerous items, Yamamoto and Nojima had been taken away by station and airport police many times—they were very experienced.
Just now, Yamamoto had already noticed something off about the way those two cops were looking at them!
They absolutely couldn't let those two grab any leverage!
Otherwise, it could cause immeasurable losses to their operation!
For example… missing the meet-and-greet!!!
