Amamiya Natsuki and Juju did not rashly go up to talk. A weak-willed girl like her would only panic and run away when encountering strangers.
"Stupid Natsuki, what do you think we should do?"
Juju asked in a low voice.
"It's simple." Amamiya Natsuki said casually, "Good people are easily taken advantage of. Those bad girls are mostly takes advantage of who pick on the weak. A good beating will do."
Those bad girls were just ordinary people, and Amamiya Natsuki didn't take them seriously. He had dozens of ways to make those bad girls honestly apologize and never dare to take advantage of anyone again.
"You know Hanamori's skill, Mystique, right?" Amamiya Natsuki casually gave an example, looking at Juju and saying, "You and Shoko can transform into Yoshida's appearance, call out those girls, and beat them up severely. After that, they naturally won't take advantage of anyone anymore."
Juju said speechlessly, "Isn't that just fighting violence with violence?"
"Congratulations, you got it right." Amamiya Natsuki said, "If lecturing worked, there wouldn't be any bullying."
"…"
Juju had no retort.
When bullying occurs, some teachers do lecture, but unfortunately, it often leads to more serious consequences—those bad girls who take advantage of others do not restrain themselves; instead, they take advantage of people even more intensely.
If lecturing worked, there wouldn't be so many bullying cases every year.
Amamiya Natsuki asked, "I happen to have one Mystique skill on me. Which one of you and Shoko will transform into a Valkyrie?"
Komi shook her head without hesitation, indicating that she couldn't do it.
"Wait, why do you want Shoko and me to transform?" Juju looked up and said, "The transformation skill isn't gender-restricted, you can transform too, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki said, "The transformation target is a girl, so of course, you two are more suitable."
"Not suitable at all." Juju complained, "Shoko and I don't know how to fight."
"Mm-hmm."
Komi nodded quickly, expressing agreement.
Amamiya Natsuki handed the empty soda can he had just finished to Juju: "Try squeezing it."
"Eh?"
Juju paused, quickly understood what Amamiya Natsuki meant, curiously took the can, and squeezed it hard.
Crunch.
The can was instantly flattened.
Komi's eyes widened next to them: "Juju has so much strength."
"Your strength isn't small either." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Komi and quipped, "Forget about soda cans. If it were an egg, both of you could crush it."
Even just clearing ordinary dungeons would grant basic attribute point rewards.
Accumulating over time, players' physical fitness generally surpassed that of ordinary people.
Amamiya Natsuki continued: "One of you transforms into Yoshida Saki. After school, call those bullying bad girls over, and then punch them one by one. As long as you scare them, there will definitely be no more bullying incidents in the future."
"Having great strength is one thing, but fighting isn't just about strength…" Juju lightly coughed twice. She had never gotten into a physical fight since she was little, so at this moment, she completely lacked confidence and whispered, "Um, how about you do it instead?"
"It's just a simple transformation. It only lasts a few minutes, it's not like you're permanently turning into a girl."
Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly, "Don't you think it's strange for me to turn into a girl?"
Juju: "I've never transformed, so how would I know?"
Amamiya Natsuki: "I haven't transformed either."
"Then it's perfect," Juju's eyes lit up. "You can experience what it's like to transform into a girl."
...
As they spoke, Yoshida Saki came out of the classroom with her schoolbag, head bowed, hugging the wall, walking cautiously downstairs alone.
"Let's follow her," Juju quickly whispered. "Those delinquents are one thing, but the blond punk Yoshida encountered at the bookstore yesterday looked really bad. His face screamed 'frivolous scumbag'. Yoshida is so timid and seems a bit naive, she could easily be tricked. It feels super dangerous."
Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and said, "Let's follow her."
...
The Braided Glasses Girl walked forward silently with her head down, completely lacking any anti-surveillance awareness. Amamiya Natsuki and the two girls followed unhurriedly behind her, not worried about being discovered.
A moment later.
A street corner bookstore appeared before them.
"That's the bookstore," Juju whispered. "Yesterday, I saw Yoshida being chatted up by the blond guy there, telling her to come again today... She actually came. Yoshida is too naive, isn't she?"
"That's just her personality," Amamiya Natsuki said. "If it were Shoko, she'd probably obediently come too."
Komi quietly retorted, "I wouldn't."
"You're just saying that," Amamiya Natsuki retorted. "If you really met a delinquent, you probably wouldn't even be able to speak."
"Yoshida has gone in," Juju urged in a low voice. "Let's go into the bookstore too and observe secretly."
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were very few customers in the bookstore, making it very quiet.
Amamiya Natsuki and the two girls stopped talking and entered the bookstore, quickly finding Yoshida Saki.
The blond man hadn't appeared yet. Amamiya Natsuki, bored, wandered around the bookstore and soon discovered a strangely named 'underworld' manga—
Not only was the name strange, but the cover was also hard to describe, a bizarre combination of a middle-aged greasy uncle and a petite girl.
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze fell on the petite girl, and the more he looked, the more familiar she seemed.
Short hair, small fangs, an almost undeveloped figure, and a look of disdain with a stubborn expression...
"What are you looking at?"
Juju curiously leaned closer. After seeing the cover, her small face flushed, and she couldn't help but spit lightly:
"Bah! Indecent!"
Komi peeked curiously, her pretty face quickly flushed, and she hastily withdrew her gaze, not daring to look again.
Looking at such manga in a bookstore completely exceeded her courage limit. The girl's sense of shame couldn't bear it at all.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart," Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly. "Although the cover is a bit bad, maybe the content inside is proper?"
"How could it possibly be proper?!" Juju put her hands on her hips, tilting her small face up to retort. "It clearly says 'prohibited for those under eighteen,' so it must be something indecent and dirty!"
Especially the cover title, it instantly made her super angry. It's too disrespectful!
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head and asked:
"Have you read manga prohibited for those under eighteen?"
"I..." Juju stammered, feeling a bit guilty. "Of course, I haven't."
This was a lie.
Actually, she had, and it was with Komi, and the location was even Amamiya Natsuki's bedroom.
Amamiya Natsuki then looked at Komi, asking:
"Shoko, do you think following the crowd is right or wrong?"
Komi blinked, her face red, and shook her head.
The bookstore was a public place, and this timid girl didn't dare to speak again.
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"Then, isn't it a bit excessive to give a 'dirty and indecent' evaluation to a work someone painstakingly created, without even looking at a single page?"
Komi: "..."
It seems... he has a point?
"Wait, something's not right—"
Juju pressed her finger to her forehead. It was clearly a dirty and shameless manga, so how did it become her fault as they talked?
Something must be wrong!
"To evaluate this manga, you have to read it first," Amamiya Natsuki lowered his voice. "Shoko even said that following the crowd is very excessive."
Juju realized, her eyes wide, and she flared up: "You're clearly trying to trick me into reading a hentai manga with you?!"
Amamiya Natsuki accepted it readily: "I can read it with Komi too."
"Bah! Shoko wouldn't read that kind of thing!"
"You're both eighteen already, reading hentai manga is normal, right?"
"We're only seventeen, okay?!"
"Not much difference. After all, you're eighteen, practically nineteen, and in a blink of an eye, you'll be twenty."
"Die!!!"
...
The two were quietly bickering when a finger suddenly lightly poked Amamiya Natsuki's arm.
"Poke, poke, poke—"
Komi quietly gestured with her hand.
"It's the blond guy, as expected."
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head and saw a man walk in through the door, wearing a floral shirt, with poor quality dyed blond hair, dark skin, and a lewd smile. He looked really bad.
After the guy spotted Yoshida Saki, a triumphant smile of finding prey quickly appeared on his face, and he unhesitatingly approached her.
"That's him," Juju frowned, her eyes filled with disdain. "That guy clearly isn't a good person."
"I strongly agree with that," Amamiya Natsuki nodded, temporarily putting down the manga. "Let's go, let's deal with him."
...
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Yo-Yoshida Saki..."
"So it's Saki-chan, please take care of me from now on. How about we go to karaoke tonight?"
"Um, uh, Mom is still waiting for me to come home..."
"You're not a child, what does it matter? It's settled then, come sing with me. Your voice sounds so nice, you must sing well, right?"
"My voice... doesn't sound good..."
In the corner, the girl named Yoshida Saki just kept her head down, looking at her toes, neither daring to refuse nor knowing how to escape. She seemed even more timid than Komi, making one sigh.
"Yoshida!"
Juju suddenly called out.
"Eh?"
The Braided Glasses Girl looked up, a surprised expression on her face.
"We're classmates, have you forgotten?" Juju stepped forward and pulled Yoshida Saki away from the blond guy, vigilantly bringing her behind herself.
"I haven't forgotten..." Yoshida Saki quickly said, "It's Inui-senpai."
Juju-sama's name is Inui Sajuna, Inui is her surname... In short, it's very awkward.
Seeing Yoshida Saki being pulled away by Juju, the blond man didn't care. Instead, his gaze fell entirely on Komi.
Compared to the inconspicuous Braided Glasses Girl, a beautiful long-haired girl like Komi was naturally a better target for hunting.
Especially with her timid appearance, similar to Yoshida Saki, such girls are always easy to deceive and toy with.
"Hey, kid," the blond man stepped forward and put his hand on Amamiya Natsuki's shoulder. "This pretty girl is your girlfriend, right?"
As for Juju... she was completely ignored.
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at Komi and nodded:
"That's right, she's my girlfriend."
"Gir-girlfriend..."
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki readily agree, Komi's pretty face quickly flushed, and she nervously lowered her head to look at her toes.
She wasn't his girlfriend... but unfortunately, she didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Bring your girlfriend, let's all go to karaoke together?" The blond man showed a disgusting smile. "Don't worry, my treat."
High schoolers like this, who are only good-looking, usually have incredibly small guts. Later, at karaoke, if he just threatened them a couple of times with a harsh tone, they would timidly abandon their girlfriend and run away alone, and then...
"Alright," Amamiya Natsuki smiled, also pressing down on the blond man's shoulder. "Let's go outside and talk slowly."
"You're a sensible kid... Ah!"
An indescribable sharp pain came from his shoulder. The blond man felt as if his shoulder was about to be crushed and immediately let out a miserable scream.
However, as soon as the sound came out, Amamiya Natsuki grabbed his chin, blocking the rest of the sound.
"Let's go outside and talk slowly."
Amamiya Natsuki held the blond man's shoulder and walked out.
Behind the bookstore counter sat a girl, who also seemed to be a part-timer. Although she felt the blond man, whose face was covered in cold sweat, was a bit strange, she didn't ask anything. Normal people would dislike someone like him.
There was an uninhabited alley next to the bookstore. Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the blond man's shoulder and walked straight over. In just a few tens of meters, the blond man's expression had already distorted in pain. He felt as if his shoulder was almost shattered and wanted to struggle, but he couldn't break free.
Juju pulled Yoshida Saki, with Komi beside them, and the three girls followed behind.
Upon reaching the alley, Amamiya Natsuki pushed the blond man, sending him tumbling to the ground.
"Bastard, you actually dare to..."
The blond man got up in a rage, his face flushed and fierce, and rushed forward to hit him.
Bang!
Amamiya Natsuki showed no mercy and kicked out.
With his current physical condition, ordinary people had no power to resist.
The blond man flew backward at an even faster speed, rolling seven or eight times on the ground until he hit the wall and finally stopped. Then he covered his stomach with both hands and knelt on the ground, vomiting.
Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and said calmly:
"You want to sing with my girlfriend, right?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
The blond man's tears and snot were already gushing out. He already knew that the boy in front of him was terrifyingly strong, almost inhuman, and could only beg for mercy.
Bang.
Amamiya Natsuki lifted his leg and kicked again, sending the guy flying once more.
"You want to sing with my girlfriend, right?"
"I won't dare again..."
Bang.
Amamiya Natsuki remained expressionless, lifted his leg, and kicked again, directly sending the person flying.
When dealing with enemies, mercy is the most foolish choice.
It's a pity it's not in a dungeon; truly excessive methods cannot be used, otherwise...
"Ugh—"
The blonde man only felt a salty and fishy taste in his mouth, too much pain to stand up, both regretful and fearful, especially Amamiya Natsuki's indifferent gaze, which made him even more terrified, realizing he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.
If it wasn't broad daylight, he even felt he would be directly killed.
Having no choice, the blonde man could only cry and sniffle, clutching his stomach and kneeling on the ground, shouting with a face full of pain:
"Call the police! If you hit me again, I'm calling the police!"
