I muttered so in a low vice to call the status window. In an instant, a semi-transparent rectangle jumped into sight. The detailed specifications of a boy who was scowling at me, were listed inside it.
Name : Saitou ShishiouLevel : 1Cla.s.s : High School BoyHP : 100MP : 0Attack : 115Defense : 110Dexterity : 100Magic : 0Magic Defense : 80Skill : noneRemark : He could care less about his gaudy name. But if you make fun of it, he will go berserk.You…. Did you turn wild because of your name? I feel sympathy but, this is hilarious.
Speaking of which, the ability value of average adult man is around 100. Considering that, it can be said that he"s a modern j.a.panese person with strength.
However, he"s picking a fight with a wrong opponent. I don’t mean to brag but my status is as follows:
Name : Nakamoto KeisukeLevel : 227Cla.s.s : Hero, Ramen Shop ClerkHP : 55060MP : 42110Attack : 52390Defense : 45680Dexterity : 45000Magic : 51940Magic Defense : 51770Skill : Language Comprehension, Status Appraisal, Nutritional Management, Combo Act, Mind"s Eyes, The Art of Law, Paternity.Remark : The former hero who once paid a great price to save an another world and was trapped in guilty consciousness.Far from trying not to lose, this was a question about how far I could go through this without killing them. The difference of our power, it was like comparing dinosaur and ant. Our basic specifications as a creature were simply too different. Try not to get crushed under my foot was the best thing they could do.
“Hey, why are you smiling alone? “
I came back to my sense when the boy with lion name pointed that.
Note: Shishiou = Shishi : Lion & Ou : King
My mouth apparently loosened and formed a smile unconsciously. My body might be itching for fight after so long.
Nice, I was just getting irritated.
My mind was always under pressure so as not to break the dishes when working. I wanted to run wild occasionally. I was about to hit my limit soon.
I was surrounded by a group of high school students and left the game center. They were almost looked like my bodyguards. But the hunting side was guarded by the side to be hunted, how ridiculous.
“How far should I follow?”
King Leo boy and group ignored my words and kept walking silently. A high school girl called Rio was also following silently.
Leo and Rio, huh? Come to think of it, both of their names are lion-ish. I wonder if the two are going out, I thought so.
After walking for about two minutes, at a corner surrounded by wire mesh fence and hidden from public sight, their feet stopped. It was just around the back door of arcade, the lion’s turf.
When I was watching the surrounding, King Leo boy who was walking at the front turned around.
“So, how much do you have?”
It seemed whether I did it or not has nothing to do with him. He threatened me while pushing his hands into his pocket, right away.
“If you"ll become our ATM on a regular basic, I won"t tell the police.”
There are various things I want to point out. First of all, I don’t have money, I haven’t done any voyeurism, and I’m not afraid of police. And this is the most important, but your name is too interesting so I don’t feel tense at all.
I don’t give a s.h.i.t about the police —I want to shout it out in a musical style.
“Do you always earn pocket money like this? The wisdom of living in savanna, that kind of thing?”
“Haah?”
“King Leo, I see you"re eager to hunt even though you’re a male.”
“Hey, who the h.e.l.l told this old man my name!? Rio?”
Rio winced and shook her head when her name was suddenly called.
The way they interact, I guess the two aren’t in boyfriend – girlfriend relationship. Well, it’s not like I care.
I will rile him up a little more for the sake of reducing my guilty conscience. Because right now, I’m going to destroy the face of this high school student.
“I’ll kill you!!”
King Leo grabbed my lapels.
If I don’t look at my opponent’s face, it seems like I’m fighting against monster. I couldn’t help but feel amused.
“Do not laugh!!”
A blow from his knee kick landed on my abdomen.
Good. With this, it will be a legitimate self-defense act. It’s wonderful that he reached out his hand first. No matter what is that, you’ll need a just cause to use the power you wield. For the sake of saving the world or whatever.
“This is to protect oneself, I guess?”
“Huh?”
“You used a violence on me. Because of that, I will reluctantly fight back with a violence too”
“What a nonsense are you spouting since a while ago —gubhhh!?”
A great deal of white gravel splattered after I shot an uppercut with my left hand. The true ident.i.ty of that white gravels was King Leo’s teeth.
A clean direct hit connected to his lower jaw. The inside of his mouth must be in a mess.
Even though he was given a name like a lion, he wouldn’t be able to eat something solid like meat for the time being. He would enjoy a live as herbivore animal while sipping rice gruel.
“Ughh…..cough….. cough….. cough…..”
I wondered what the other guys think about their companion who was holding his mouth while crouching down. Would they help? Would they jump at me together?
There were still four boys and three girls left. The other side still have the advantage over the number of people, huh? I taunted them again in a light tone.
The provocation was successful, two blonde boys jumped at me together.
I concentrated my consciousness and activated a skill. Horizontal windows and character strings were displayed in my field of view.
【Hero Keisuke exercises Mind’s Eyes skill. 50% increase in avoidance rate and accuracy.】
【While using the skill, MP will be consumed by 2 every second.】
The world became slow motion in an instant. It was not like I manipulating time. My motion vision and cognitive abilities were being raised at an accelerated pace.
Their fists were approaching from the left and the right. I stretched my hands, caught them, and twisted them. With a cracking sound, their arms bent in a strange direction.
” “Arrrrrrrgggggg……..” “
While listening to their scream, I terminated the skill. The flow of time returned to normal. It was just a technique of elementary level in an another world. But when doing this here, it felt like seeing the future few second ahead.
“Do you still want to continue?”
The answer to this question was never come. Instead, it was pessimistic whining that came out from their mouths.
“c.r.a.p, he must be doing martial arts or something”
“Run! Let’s run away!”
“Let’s go….. Don’t come! Don’t come here! Hiaaaaaa!!!!!”
The group of high school student ran away like scattering baby spiders. The only people remained was King Leo who lost his consciousness and Rio who fell on her b.u.t.t while trembling.
“……….the strong bond between delinquent, I guess it’s just a fiction.”
Leaving their injured friend and a girl without hesitation. In the another world or here, everywhere was the same, people tend to think only themselves in an emergency situation.
I approached King Leo who was lying on the ground while convulsing, and casted an automatic recovery magic. Like this, after some time has pa.s.sed, his wound would gradually heal. I thought it was better for him to have some painful experience.
It was not good if I cure him immediately. In a week or so, his new teeth should be grown. He need to reflect on his action until then.
Too soft, as expected of a former hero…..
No, not that. I judged that if I leave too much aftereffects, it would come back to bite later. I simply destroyed the evidence.
Even if I’m not afraid of the police, I don’t want to get caught in something troublesome.
“What are you going to do?”
I turned my eyes to Rio because the first aid has been completed.
She was sitting on her b.u.t.t with legs opened, her skirt was rolled up so its content could be seen. In addition, a small puddle was formed between her crotch. The smell of ammonia reached my nose.
“D-Don’t come….. D-Don’t come here…..”
Looking at her figure who was weakly dragging herself to escape, even I felt sorry for her. I silently took out my smartphone and tapped the gallery icon. The images saved from the games and the photos taken with camera so far, were all there.
Rio had a face which seemed couldn’t understand what I was trying to do in the beginning, but I explained it gently while showing her the screen.
“Can you see it? There are only the pictures of scenery and screenshots from the game I played. Do you see a photo of your underwear? “
Her lips quivered.
“This is a misunderstanding. I’m not a peeping tom. I hope you understand.”
“…………….”
“Do you hear me?”
A half-crying high school girl moved her head up and down.
I felt like a s.h.i.t.
It was a bad fight aftertaste.
【Nakayama Keisuke won the battle!】
【Gained 2 exp points】
【Gained 1 skill point】
“Shut up!”
I closed the insensitive window message and turned back.
What’s the point of getting stronger now? Even though there is no enemy I need to defeat.
Experience value like garbage, the uncomfortable feeling left in my hands, tears of a high school girl who looks like someone I love.
This is not something I’m looking for.
Let’s go home.
There is nothing that pleases me in this city.
