"fine!"
Onigumo chuckled sheepishly, "I can stay outside when the time comes."
"Okay, then I'll leave things here to you."
Aoba waved goodbye to the other demons of the Hundred Demons Group and looked at Bangu, who was waiting for him.
I knew that the old man must have something to tell me.
"This old gentleman..."
"Just call me Bang."
"Old Master Bang, is there anything else you need?"
"Mr. Aoba, would you be interested in joining the Hero Association?"
Standing outside this building, a slight chill still seemed to linger around me.
Bang looked at Aoba very seriously.
He is getting old, so he really hopes that outstanding young people can join the Hero Association.
This is also why he opened a martial arts school.
Ultimately, humanity itself must clean up the chaos in this world.
I don't know if I'll live to see this day.
Faced with Bang's invitation, Aoba shook his head slightly:
“Mr. Bango, I only wish to live a peaceful and stable life, and I don’t want to be a hero.”
"But things won't always go smoothly for you."
Bangu's face was serious.
He hoped this young man could understand the cruelty of the world.
"A temporary storm is for a broader and more peaceful world."
Aoba's eyes were very calm, as if they were filled with a dazzling galaxy.
This world has never lacked heroes.
He didn't want to be a hero, but it would be even better if the hero who saved the world could occasionally come to his shop for a meal.
"Is that so..."
Bangu seemed to understand the thoughts of the outstanding young man in front of him, and stopped trying to persuade him. He simply handed him a card.
"This is?"
"A pass to the boxing gym."
"For me?"
"Sometimes not all storms are worth going all out against; with the help of external forces, they can be resolved more easily."
"...Thank you, sir."
Aoba watched Bang's retreating figure and smiled slightly.
Keep the card safe.
A boxing gym?
If you have time, go and take a look.
He stretched and walked along the street bathed in the bright starlight.
The wind was very gentle all around.
He could even hear a slight commotion carried by the wind.
He hadn't experienced such a leisurely stroll on the street in a long time. (Read super exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
However, compared to the freedom and relaxation, he would rather go back and talk to his guests.
Being alone... is ultimately a bit lonely.
"so..."
Aoba looked at the girl blocking his way at the street corner and shook his head helplessly:
"Are you here to make fun of me?"
In the shadows at the street corner.
The blue-haired girl wearing a raccoon mask stared intently at Aoba with her bloodshot red eyes.
It was as if they were enemies with whom they had a deep-seated hatred.
"You guy!"
The blue-haired girl gritted her teeth and charged at Aoba without saying a word.
The two feathered kukri behind him, one large and one small, looked malnourished compared to Kirishima Ayato, whom Aoba had just faced.
His movements weren't as sharp as Kirishima Ayato's.
Aoba casually took a step to the left, directly avoiding the girl's side kick.
He then slightly flicked his hand, blocking the knee strike hidden behind him.
Not very strong.
The accuracy is also insufficient.
With a slight flick of his wrist, the girl was sent flying and slammed hard against the concrete wall.
Aoba watched as Kirishima Touka groaned and got up, then turned and continued walking towards the izakaya.
But Touka Kirishima behind him still wouldn't give up.
A blood-red arrow was shot out.
Phew~!
Qingye tilted her head slightly, and the arrow grazed her hair.
? !
"You bastard, give me back my brother!"
Kirishima Touka's voice was hoarse, her eyes seeming to want to devour Aoba alive.
He had finally managed to see his younger brother, but before he could even say a word, he was arrested by this guy and the prosecutor's office!
"Give me back my brother...?"
Aoba was genuinely so angry that he laughed.
He paused slightly, then turned completely and stood in front of Kirishima Touka. Just as Touka launched her attack, he delivered a simple kick.
boom! ! !
The latter was kicked flying more than ten meters away!
The loud noise attracted the attention of many passersby, but no one stopped after seeing the figure disappear into the shadows at the street corner.
Even curious passersby only glanced at it briefly before hurrying away.
During this time of year, countless dangers lurk in the shadows of Tokyo.
They wouldn't take risks out of curiosity.
"Ooh~ cough cough~~~"
Kirishima Touka braced herself on the ground, the red light in her blood-red eyes dimming.
The excruciating pain in her lower abdomen rendered her powerless to resist.
Step~
Aoba's footsteps drew closer.
She couldn't help but shrink back, her once fair fingertips now digging into her palms.
Own...
Still too weak.
I can't protect my parents, my younger brother, or any of them.
Touka Kirishima was filled with despair and resentment at this moment.
Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if I just died like this.
"Sir..."
Suddenly.
Another voice came from the entrance of the alley.
"Can you forgive her this one more time?"
In the darkness, an elderly man with neatly combed silver hair appeared in front of Kirishima Touka.
His apology was sincere and earnest; he even bowed to Aoba.
Seeing that Aoba remained unmoved, she turned back to look at Kirishima Touka lying on the ground, sighed softly, and knelt down in the alleyway with one knee slightly bent.
"Sir, please forgive her this once more..."
Yoshimura Kōzen's apology further agitated Kirishima Tōka, who was standing behind him.
"Store manager!"
"No, cough cough~ Don't apologize!!!"
"It's clearly...it's clearly my fault..."
The girl's voice choked with sobs.
A suffocating feeling washed over me, as if a hand was not only gripping my throat but also squeezing my heart from my chest.
"ah.."
