"Damn, that's a lot of money! Thanks, John Eroge!"
"No need to thank me, old man! Thanks to you, I can beat up way more bad guys and extort— I mean, collect hero justice fees!"
Kai and the old man Lucius started counting the money, drool practically dripping from both their mouths.
Eru looked at the victims of the two of them.
There were muscular guys and chubby ones, skin tones ranging from tanned to pale, faces from ugly to handsome…
The common result for all of them: their asses had been impaled by dildos longer than a horse's dick. Honestly the most brutal crime scene she had ever witnessed.
Oh, and they also ran into some shota boys. For some reason Kai twitched, whispered something to the old man, and then the kids got tied to poles, pants pulled down, and had their dicks flicked nonstop.
Oh my god, a brand new form of child abuse? This novel is about to get taken down from Webnovel.
Weirdly though, the shotas' dicks were freakishly big. Are these shotas out here stealing onee-chans who already have boyfriends or crushes?
"What are you staring at, brat?! Want me to flick your dick again?!"
"N-no! I'm sorry!!" The bald-headed boy in a tank top cried and begged.
"If you're sorry, hand over the money."
"I-I came from the church—"
"THEN DIE, YOU LITTLE SHIT! DARE TO GO OUT AND SEDUCE ONEE-CHANS HUH?!" Kai started slapping the boy's dick repeatedly, making him scream in pain.
I really shouldn't be watching this… it's too violent…
"Hey kid! That's not right! Watch how it's done!!!" The old man gathered his inner energy, stared intensely at the terrified blond shota next to him…
…and then started slapping the boy's dick exactly the same way Kai did.
Now the NTR shotas had their own boogeyman grandpa. He would kidnap the kid, tie him to a pole, and SLAP HIS DICK REPEATEDLY!!
Good boys were fine! They even got candy from grandpa and were safely escorted home!
How wild…
"Alright, that's enough, old man. We've got plenty of money to cover the hospital bill now!" Kai fanned out the cash and struck a pose.
"Good, good. Next time I'll go to other places to deliver justice!" The old man stroked his beard, very satisfied with the results.
And so the three of them left, leaving behind the aftermath of Kai and Grandpa Lucius in the dark alley.
***
The three returned to the hospital.
Kai quietly opened the window so as not to make noise, then checked to see if anyone was awake.
"Phew, no one's up. Old man, you can come in and sneak inside now!"
Even though he said that, the old man kept both hands behind his back, looking at one person with a pleased smile.
"No need. Today I seem to have gotten lucky and met someone sharing a room with my grandson."
"Huh?" Kai was startled, then followed the old man's gaze.
A rather feminine face, hair down to the shoulders, disastrous sleeping posture.
Yes, it was Reito, the femboy little brother, also a friend of Kai's younger brother before both of them got isekai'd into this world.
"…No wonder he looked familiar. So you're Reito's grandpa!"
"Hohoho, are you and Reito close?"
"Not exactly close, but… I can be the back that Reito leans on when he needs it. I already treat him like a little brother anyway."
Hearing that, the old man stood still for a moment, then took out money and handed it to Kai.
"?"
"If you care about him… could I trouble you to look after him for a while?"
"…Are you planning to die or something?"
"What are you saying? In a few months I won't be by his side anymore. Although I will return, it'll be quite a long time. So I want you to take care of him starting now."
"…Old man, I live in a cramped student dorm with a single bed."
"Does that really make much difference?"
"Of course not, why would I complain? I'm just worried my room isn't good enough to take care of him properly."
"I've never misjudged a person with my eyes. So please treat my grandson well, Kai." The old man gave a warm smile and clasped Kai's hand.
Then he left, leaving Kai standing there watching.
'…How does he know my name?'
This old man Lucius didn't seem normal at all. He already felt suspicious during the fight earlier.
What if he's actually a Great Sage? Or a Kung Fu grandmaster? Or even a god?
'Heh, if he's all three, then Reito would look way more like the main character than me.'
"Hey, Eru."
Eru appeared from the bushes, eyes still narrowed like she was about to fall asleep.
"What?"
"Here."
Kai handed her a stack of money.
"…Are you insane?"
"This money isn't from the old man, and the part about paying my hospital bill was a lie."
Kai ruffled Eru's hair and gave her a warm smile.
"Anyway, my friends already paid everything for me so I haven't had the chance to repay anything. So… this is for you. Enough to get through the month."
"…"
This time Eru stared straight at Kai, her expression searching.
"Why are you so nice to me?"
In her eyes, boys always aimed for a girl's body.
But Kai wasn't like that. He helped her simply because he wanted her to be his little sister.
Ridiculous. She almost didn't want to believe that kind of hope at all.
"I already told you. If I accept you as my little sister, then I'll always treat you well. Because you're my little sister."
…She didn't want to believe in that hope.

Morning came.
Kai, Pandora, and Vokath were finally discharged. The two of them were calculating the costs.
Since Kai had already been paid in advance by some Baron or Aura person, he only needed to handle a few things.
Pandora… well, the vet basically kicked her out, so now Kai could take her along.
"My money…"
"Come on, honey, the doctor already helped you. Does the money even matter anymore?"
"But still…"
Vokath looked depressed while his wife patted his back.
Kai stared at the two of them for a while.
"…What are you looking at?" Vokath noticed the stare and asked directly.
"You two… how did you end up together?" Kai asked straight-up.
Vokath immediately glared at Kai as if he wanted to punch him for asking such an insensitive question.
"Come on, he's just asking how we got together. No need to get mad."
"But—"
"It's fine, I'm okay."
She turned to Kai and gave a sweet smile.
"I used to be a former worker in a brothel. He was once my customer."
Kai blinked, then looked at Vokath.
"What? You grossed out or something?"
"No no, just surprised… You're surprisingly manly."
"??" Vokath looked confused.
"Yeah, exactly! I never thought he would actually propose to me even though I worked in a brothel, and then he saved me from that life!" Remembering it made her shy.
"Vokath, you even rescued her from that profession? That's badass." Kai clapped.
A guy falls for a girl from a brothel and helps her leave that life? Respect.
Only…
"I know this question is kinda rude but… you're not… cheating on Vokath, right?"
The moment he asked, Pandora watched her very carefully. The second there was any lie, she would signal to Kai.
And what Kai hoped for arrived.
"Cheat on Vokath? No way. He fucks me so hard that both my pussy and ass are wrecked to the point I can barely get out of bed. How could I even have the energy to go find someone else — and someone better than him at that?" She answered with an amused, brutally honest tone.
…
Vokath covered his face. The nurses and doctors awkwardly moved a bit farther away.
"Pipi!"
Only Kai smiled in satisfaction.
She was lying.
Because look at her eyes — they had heart shapes in them, and even Vokath's face was reflected inside.
She truly loved Vokath and would never betray the man she loved. That whole "no energy to find someone else" line was a blatant, shameless lie.
Vokath, you hit the jackpot — a truly loyal woman who loves you with all her heart!
