〖 Ding! Energy Points +10! 〗
〖 Total Energy Points: 13,300! 〗
'I hadn't noticed before, but it's already over ten thousand.'
Seeing his Energy Points break the ten-thousand mark, Ryuji figured he should find time to do a few draws and test his luck.
'I was the first one chosen by the Reincarnation Space, and I have a cheat system—my luck should be pretty good, right?'
Then he remembered his luck in games run by a certain shady company—every draw, the wrong character.
Shaking his head, Ryuji looked toward the mall's main entrance. As expected, it was locked from the inside.
"I know there's a small door we can use to get in."
Sakurako spoke up, and everyone followed her in a half circle to a hidden side door. It wasn't deadbolted, probably because few people knew it existed.
Ryuji glanced at the five women. Their retainer levels had all reached Level 2, and Himari, who had more combat experience, had already reached Level 3.
✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦
"Hah... Senpai, where are you..."
Asami Nakaoka, with short coffee-colored hair, a women's police uniform, and a voluptuous figure, stood on the mall's second floor. She gazed down at the swaying mass of dead bodies below and let out a sigh.
She turned and headed deeper into the mall. She still needed to patrol and check for emergencies. There were a few troublemakers in the building, and she was afraid they might do something irrational.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Just as she reached a store, a sharp female voice rang out.
Following the sound inside and rounding a corner, Asami saw Shimada leading nearly thirty men as they pinned more than a dozen women against a wall.
Beside him, a tall, dark-skinned, fierce-looking brute eyed them greedily and laughed: "Hahaha, what are we doing? What do you think we're doing? Of course we're going to do it."
"You… aren't you afraid of Officer Nakaoka? If Officer Nakaoka finds out, you'll definitely be in trouble."
The brown-haired, heroic-looking woman who had shouted kept warning them. She scanned around, as if searching for something to use as a weapon.
But there was nothing at all in the corner where they were trapped.
"Heh, that frail little policewoman? What can she do even if she knows? Arrest us and throw us in jail?"
"Hahaha." ×N
Shimada's words made the men burst into laughter, and the cornered women fell into despair.
"You might as well stop fighting. Let us have our way, and maybe we'll keep you safe. Right, boys?"
"Hehehe, Boss Shimada is right."
"If you spread your legs obediently, maybe the big brothers will be gentle with you."
"Yo, look at those twins, so beautiful, they look like middle schoolers."
Watching the women tremble, the men shouted obscenities, their eyes shining with lust.
"Everyone freeze!"
Just as Shimada reached for the heroic-looking woman, a sharp cry stopped him.
Everyone turned to see Asami aiming an M60 revolver at them. Even at gunpoint, several of the men wore smug expressions.
"Officer Nakaoka, relax. We're just playing a game."
Shimada immediately signaled the dark-skinned brute, then raised both hands and walked toward her, talking as if to distract Asami.
"Stop! Don't lie to me, I heard everything just now—this is rape!" Asami kept the gun trained on Shimada, but it seemed to be her first time aiming at a living person. Her hands shook.
"I'm not lying. Ask them if you don't believe me."
His words made Asami instinctively glance toward the women pinned against the wall.
In that instant, Shimada, who had been inching closer, suddenly lunged and kicked the gun barrel.
Clatter!
The pistol flew from Asami's hands, spinning as it skidded several meters away (Japanese police sidearms usually have cords to prevent this, but for the sake of the plot, there isn't one here).
"Hehe, Officer Nakaoka, we are raping them—are you going to arrest us?"
"Hahaha, Boss Shimada is mighty!" ×N
Shimada strolled up to Asami, and his words sent the men into delighted laughter.
"You!" Asami looked from the pistol on the floor to Shimada, now only two meters away.
She hadn't expected him to move that fast.
"Hey, I've never had a policewoman before." Shimada raked his gaze over her voluptuous figure in the uniform.
Asami felt her skin crawl and involuntarily stepped back.
"Hahaha, Boss Shimada, after you're done, can I have a taste too?"
By then, the dark-skinned brute had taken position by the corner. With her retreat blocked, Asami felt the same despair as the women moments earlier.
She was confident she could take down one or two grown men, but there were too many of them, and Shimada's abilities were unknown. After that burst of speed, he was clearly no ordinary man.
"No problem. When I'm done, I'll give her to you." Shimada glanced at the brute. After a moment's thought, he figured the tall, muscular man would make a useful subordinate, so he nodded.
"Haha, thank you, Boss Shimada." The dark-skinned brute grinned widely, exposing a mouthful of yellow teeth, with a gleaming gold tooth among them.
Asami kept backing away, looking desperately at the approaching Shimada, while the men surrounding the group of women watched leisurely from the side, seemingly wanting to appreciate the policewoman's predicament.
Asami's back was already pressed against the wall—there was nowhere left to retreat. Gritting her teeth, she steeled her resolve, deciding that even if she died, she wouldn't let these people defile her.
Tap! Tap Tap!
But just then, footsteps came from the other side of the corner, attracting everyone's attention, and even Shimada stopped in his tracks.
Everyone looked over and saw standing behind the dark-skinned brute a handsome young man, as tall as the brute himself, watching them with an amused expression.
Ryuji felt somewhat strange inside—to encounter this kind of adult video scenario on his first transmigration, he couldn't help but show an expression that was both amused and eager to watch the show unfold.
The youth who had appeared behind him at some point, along with that amused expression, annoyed the dark-skinned brute somewhat, and he immediately threatened:
"Where'd you come from, you little brat? Stop getting in the way, or do you want me to snap your neck?"
Ryuji didn't even glance at him, but instead looked toward Asami in her police uniform, thinking this should be the junior Himari was looking for.
"You little brat, are you even listening to me?!"
The dark-skinned brute was extremely displeased by his attitude and was about to make a move, when he saw five voluptuous beauties following behind Ryuji.
He was stunned. These five newly appeared beauties were no less attractive than Asami in appearance and figure, and the one in the middle had an even better figure than her. Even Shimada was looking on with some envy.
Ryuji glanced somewhat impatiently at the shouting dark-skinned brute, but the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed—he felt like he'd seen him somewhere before.
The dark-skinned brute thought this boy was frozen in place and thinking because he'd been scared, so he immediately reached out to push him aside and grab the five newly arrived beauties.
Just as his hand was about to touch Ryuji, Ryuji directly kicked him in the abdomen. The dark-skinned brute, weighing over two hundred pounds, was sent flying nearly two meters into the air by Ryuji's kick, crashing several meters away.
Bang!
"Ugh... urk... cough, cough!"
Everyone looked from the brute on the ground—clutching his stomach and coughing up blood—to the youth's just-retracted foot, shock written across their faces.
Even Shimada's pupils constricted. Even he wasn't sure he could take down Muramori in a direct confrontation, yet Ryuji had crippled him with a single kick. Just how strong was this kid?
Sensing things were going badly, he immediately rushed toward Asami, planning to take a hostage and then find a way to escape.
Seeing this, Himari immediately shouted: "Don't you dare touch Asami!"
Just as Shimada's hand was about to seize Asami, he heard a delicate cry, followed by a flash of firelight racing toward him. Distracted by his attempt to take a hostage, he hadn't expected a fireball to come flying at him, and he had no time to react.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Shimada let out a scream, his entire body engulfed in flames as he rolled on the ground.
Ryuji withdrew the hand that had released the fireball spell and slowly walked inside.
The other men stared blankly at the burning figure on the ground as it gradually fell still, then swallowed hard. The remaining men looked in terror at him as he approached and kept backing away.
Himari, seeing that Asami was safe, breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to comfort her, only to be immediately embraced by her.
"Sob sob sob... Senpai... sob sob... I... sob..."
"It's okay. It's okay, don't cry anymore."
On one side was the heartwarming scene of a senior comforting her junior, while on the other was the ridiculous spectacle of a group of people kneeling before a youth younger than themselves, begging for mercy.
"It... it was all Shimada who forced us to do this, please, spare us..."
"Right... right, it was all... all Shimada and Muramori who forced us."
"Please let us go, we'll never do it again."
Ryuji looked at the group of middle-aged men kneeling before him, the cacophony of pleas for mercy ringing in his ears, and interrupted somewhat impatiently: "Forced? From what I saw just now, your tone and actions didn't look forced at all."
"Th-that... you must have seen wrong. It was definitely Shimada and them..."
"Enough. I can't be bothered to listen to you ramble." Ryuji cut the middle-aged man off, then turned to Himari and the others. "I'll leave them to you. Not one left alive."
Killing this group wouldn't earn him many Energy Points. It was better to let the girls gain some experience.
"Yes, Boss."
Somewhere along the way, Himari and the others' boss was no longer Yuriko, but Ryuji.
The middle-aged men exchanged glances as four delicate beauties stepped forward to deal with them.
Finally, in terror of impending death, someone stood up. They didn't dare face Ryuji and his mysterious methods, so they charged at the four women, and the rest were forced to follow.
They quickly realized they couldn't even get close. Himari and the others cut them down one by one with different magical attacks.
〖 Ding! Energy Points +2! 〗
〖 Ding! Energy Points +3! 〗
〖 Total Energy Points: 13,305! 〗
After casually dealing with two middle-aged men who tried to escape in the chaos, Ryuji ignored the additional 5 Energy Points and looked toward the dozen or so women who had been surrounded earlier.
"Mm, all virgins, and their looks meet the requirements for qualified candidates."
Ryuji thought the heroic-looking older-sister type at the front seemed familiar. She looked like the female reporter from the news earlier. He hadn't expected her to end up here.
After marveling at her good fortune, he said to the group of women, "From now on, you'll all come with me."
Brought back to their senses by his words and the magical scene they'd just witnessed, the women nodded one after another.
