Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 321 I'm not a chauvinist! I support gender equality!

Inside apartment 209, the air was thick with the smells of smoke, alcohol, and sweat.

The blond-haired girl, Yazuki, was bound hand and foot with rough hemp rope, her mouth stuffed with rags, and tossed in a corner like a piece of merchandise. Dust covered her school uniform, and her golden hair clung messily to her sweaty forehead.

Inside the apartment were four heavily made-up women and three men with brightly colored hair. The man with a cigarette in his mouth, who seemed to be the leader, was arguing with the woman who had a lip piercing.

"Are you out of your mind?" The man scratched his greasy hair in frustration. "If you think she's an eyesore, just find a chance to beat her up. Why did you have to tie her up and bring her back?"

“That girl has a foul mouth,” the woman with the lip piercing snorted, the metal lip piercing gleaming coldly under the light. “If she had just said something nice, things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”

“The problem now is, what should we do with her!” The man with a cigarette in his mouth frowned deeply. “We’re just delinquents, not kidnappers. Kidnapping is illegal! What if the police catch us…”

"Don't worry, you don't need to bother with this," the woman with the lip piercing smiled sinisterly, revealing her uneven teeth. She turned to look at Ya Yue, who was trembling in the corner. "Didn't you say you knew some members of the Muddy Association? This girl is quite pretty, they should be willing to take her if you sell her to them, right?"

"Yuko, you're too ruthless!" The man with a cigarette in his mouth stared wide-eyed, almost dropping the cigarette from his mouth. "If this girl falls into the hands of the Muddy Association, she'll probably be making movies until she dies."

"Hmph, who told her to be so foul-mouthed?" the woman with the lip piercing said angrily. "How dare she say that I'm ugly and no man likes me! In that case, I'll find more men and 'like' her properly."

Lying on the floor, Meiyue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave upon hearing this conversation. She shook her head frantically, tears blurring her vision, and sobs escaped her throat. She was just a delinquent girl who didn't like studying, not a real member of the yakuza. Although she had heard stories before about Tokyo gangs forcing women to sign huge debt contracts and then using them to blackmail them into making pornographic films, the blonde-haired girl had only taken it as amusement, never imagining that she would one day experience it herself. Thinking of her bleak future, Meiyue finally became afraid, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Hmph, now you know fear?" The woman with the lip piercing kicked Ya Yue triumphantly, the sharp toe of her shoe poking into the girl's soft abdomen, causing her to curl up in pain. "Too bad, you're too late to be afraid."

“Yuko,” a greedy glint flashed in the eyes of the man with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He approached Yazuki, squatted down, and used his rough fingers to lift the girl’s chin, his gaze sweeping over Yazuki. “If you want me to introduce you to the Muddy Association’s executives, shouldn’t you offer something in return?”

"You've played her for a fool, how can you expect her to fetch a good price?" The woman with the lip piercing frowned, but still took a step back, crossed her arms, and watched coldly.

"Your goal is to control them to make movies, not to make them saints," the man with the cigarette in his mouth said. Seeing that the woman with the lip piercing no longer objected, he turned around and gave his two henchmen behind him a lewd smile. "Don't worry, after I'm done, I'll let you guys have your fill too."

The two underlings immediately cheered excitedly.

"Tch, you lustful bastards!" The woman with the lip piercing looked at their lustful expressions with some disdain, but she didn't stop them. She just stood there with her arms crossed, ready to enjoy the miserable sight of the blond girl being bullied.

Ya Yue tried desperately to curl up, but there was a wall behind her, so there was nowhere to hide.

“Don’t be afraid, little darling,” the man with a cigarette in his mouth said with a lewd smile, “You’ll be in heaven soon…” As he spoke, he reached out to pull off the blond-haired girl’s clothes.

Yazuki closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Just at this critical moment, there was a sudden knock on the apartment door.

"Who?" the man with the cigarette in his mouth shouted angrily, his smile vanishing instantly, replaced by a look of rage.

"Deliveryman, your ramen has arrived," the person outside the door replied.

"Who ordered ramen?" the woman with the lip piercing asked her three companions. "No," the three women looked at each other and shook their heads.

Just then, a shout came from outside: "Please sign for it quickly, the ramen will clump together soon."

"Go and send them away!" The man with a cigarette in his mouth waved his hand impatiently.

One of his henchmen grumbled as he walked toward the door. As the door opened, everyone inside heard a thud, as if something had collapsed.

Before they could react, Lin Xiuyi had already barged into the apartment with Orikasa Midori.

"Mezuki!" Upon seeing her friend lying on the ground, Midori Orikasa's eyes immediately reddened. "You bastards..." With an angry shout, the girl raised the wooden sword in her hand and attacked the man with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Where did this crazy woman come from!" Another henchman stepped forward, trying to stop Orikasa Midori. But the next moment, Lin Xiuyi's wooden stick slammed down hard on his head with a dull thud. The henchman immediately collapsed to the ground, limp and lifeless.

The man with the cigarette in his mouth, a street thug, was somewhat skilled in fighting, but he was no match for Orikasa Midori, who was proficient in swordsmanship, not to mention that the latter was currently in a state of rage.

The wooden sword in Midori's hand fell like raindrops, and the man with the cigarette in his mouth was quickly beaten and ran away with his head in his hands, the cigarette flying out of his mouth.

His face was filled with terror, and he kept shouting, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

"W-who are you?"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi and his companion were ruthless and merciless, the woman with the lip piercing panicked.

"You kidnapped our friend, and you're asking us who we are?" Lin Xiuyi sneered, slowly flexing his wrists, tapping the wooden stick lightly against his palm.

"We're women, how can you, a grown man, hit a woman? How can you be so shameless!" The woman with the lip piercing tried to remain calm, but her retreating steps betrayed her fear.

"What's so embarrassing about this?"

Lin Xiuyi approached step by step, holding a wooden stick.

"I'm not some feudal chauvinist; I support gender equality! Don't worry, I'll beat you up like men, and I'll never look down on you!"

After saying that, he swung the wooden stick in his hand and swung it hard at the women.

……

Outside the apartment, in mid-air, sitting on a flying broomstick, Akane Koizumi watched through the window as Hideaki Hayashi mercilessly beat the kidnappers. Especially when the wooden stick splattered blood on the woman's face, the witch couldn't help but shudder and unconsciously squeezed her legs together.

Suddenly, she realized that her buttocks didn't hurt so much anymore...
