My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

They weren't even there when their parents passed away, and now they're trying to get close to them. Straight people like me reject them all without exception.

"Seriously, I wonder how many slackers I'll have to turn down today. This is so annoying, can't they all just give me a break?"

On the tram, Naoto looked at the scenery outside the window with a sense of unease.

When no one he knew was around, Naoto's volatile temper became even more blatantly apparent.

Why do all these problems keep piling up? Can't you just give yourself a break?

Today, he even canceled his date with Nanzi just for this work-related matter. It's actually quite good that Naoto didn't completely lose his temper.

If Nanzi hadn't also said she had an event this week and couldn't go on a date with him, things might have turned out differently for Naoto.

"Hey, you stole this lady's wallet, didn't you? Give it back right now!"

"Hey, young man, don't accuse me wrongly! Which eye of yours saw me steal this lady's wallet? Watch out, I'll sue you for defamation!"

Just as Naoto was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, something else happened in the carriage.

At that moment, a handsome young man in a black suit was glaring angrily at a man with brightly colored hair and a fierce expression.

Beside the young man was a girl who appeared to be no more than a high school student. At that moment, the young man and the girl were clashing with the fierce-looking man.

"What happened again?"

Hearing the noise, Naoto opened his eyes with a twitch on his face, and at that moment, the noise inside the carriage escalated once again.

"Can't you understand me?! This lady is in a real hurry, can't you see?! Give her back her wallet right now!"

"Hey buddy, you want to be my protector? Do you have any proof that I stole your wallet? If you don't, I might sue you for defamation."

The man in front of him had clearly concluded that the young man had no evidence that he had stolen the wallet.

After all, there were quite a few people in the carriage, and the surveillance cameras inside the carriage couldn't see his movements at all.

In addition, the man's actions were very discreet, and very few people witnessed what happened.

Even if some people in the carriage saw what this person was doing, they didn't dare to say anything about it.

After all, this man looked fierce and menacing, and he didn't look like someone to mess with.

It was only when he encountered a young man with such a strong sense of justice that this man suffered a setback.

Even so, the man was fearless and clearly a repeat offender.

Chapter 152: The Trouble of the Deer Island Trip

"You, you're absolutely unreasonable!"

The young man named Kashima Yu looked at the man before him, his anger burning fiercely. But facing such a fearless person, he had no other choice.

Just as he said, he had absolutely no evidence in it.

"Well, how about we just leave it at that?"

The girl standing next to Kashima Yu couldn't help but say this to him, but Kashima Yu retorted righteously, "How can you do this! That's your wallet, you absolutely can't let someone like that steal it! If you don't give it back, I'll call the police!"

"Go ahead and call the police. If they can't find the item, then it's your problem."

Naoto, sitting in a nearby seat, watched this scene unfold and began to ponder it.

It's obvious that the arrogant man has stolen a wallet. Otherwise, he wouldn't be behaving like that. Furthermore, he's definitely a repeat offender.

To be able to evade surveillance cameras and steal a wallet so precisely, and to hide it so well, clearly demonstrates considerable experience. Arguing with someone like that is obviously not an easy task, and could easily lead to trouble.

However, Naoto had already guessed roughly what this person's methods were.

Back in China, I had seen similar theft methods in the news.

Taking advantage of blind spots in surveillance cameras and the cover of passengers, they steal items when others are not paying attention.

And while the crowd was moving, they took the opportunity to slip the stolen items to their companions who were hiding in the crowd.

Since two or more people will not interact with each other once they get on the bus, they will be like strangers, so it is difficult to know who their companion is.

In such a situation, it is very difficult for the police to collect evidence, and because of the fact that Japan has more surveillance cameras than China, it is difficult to obtain evidence.

Investigating this person's movements is even more difficult; usually, once the person leaves the tram, it becomes very difficult for the police to find them again.

That's why this person is so fearless.

"Hey kid, if you keep yelling, I'll beat you up! Do you even know who I am?! You actually think you can teach me a lesson?"

The arrogant man was getting impatient with the constant nagging during the trip to Kashima.

Seeing that Kashima Yu was still bothering him, the arrogant man decided to take action directly.

Even so, Kashima Yu didn't intend to give up. She was still trying to get the man to return the wallet to the girl next to him.

Naoto felt utterly exhausted by this situation.

Why do I always encounter so many troubles when I take the tram?

Last time it was a pervert, this time it's a thief.

What might I encounter next? A murderer with a handgun?

"Kid! Lie down!"

The arrogant man raised his right hand with annoyance, and under the horrified gazes of the crowd, threw a punch directly at Kashima Yu.

Kashima was caught off guard by the punch and almost got hit.

"Hmm? Who is it?"

At that moment, the arrogant man turned around in confusion and found that his right hand was being tightly gripped by the dissatisfied Naoto.

His superior physical abilities prevented this arrogant guy from actually throwing a punch.

"I'm telling you, isn't resorting to violence a bit too much? You stole someone's things, and now you want to fight back? Don't you have any respect for others?"

"Who exactly are you, kid?!"

Seeing his right hand being grabbed, the arrogant man was furious, but the next moment, Naoto exerted force with his right hand, causing the man to scream in agony.

Kashima and the girl whose wallet was stolen are both looking at Naoto with extreme displeasure. Could it be that they've encountered a kind person?

"Ouch! It hurts so much! Let me go! Ah!!!"

Hearing the man's screams, Naoto, who was in a very bad mood, continued to exert force.

Faced with his companion's screams, Naoto clearly saw that several people in the nearby seats obviously wanted to come over and help.

All of this was observed by Naoto.

"If you don't want to ruin your hand, I think you'd better be sensible and hand over this girl's wallet. You don't want things to escalate like this, do you? Although I don't know exactly where you put this girl's wallet, I know that a repeat offender like you will definitely have a criminal record at the police station, right? I think those police officers would love to see you again."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go, let go! I'm not a stranger to you!"

The man, writhing in pain, finally gave in. He hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable opponent this time.

Just like Naoto said, he and his brothers all have criminal records, and if they are all arrested, the police definitely won't believe them.

It's really unnecessary to make a scene over a girl's wallet.

Seeing that their companions had said so, one of the men, who looked very honest, took out a wallet that looked very girly.

"What?! You're actually in cahoots with him?!"

Kashima was incredibly surprised to see the man sitting right next to him.

No wonder this man was so fearless; he had companions with him.

Kashima, who had just been about to make a move, felt a pang of fear. If he had actually attacked, things might have gotten really difficult today.

Just as my senior said, things outside of school are indeed terrifying.

"Miss, this wallet is yours, right? Be more careful next time. There are a lot of bad people out there."

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my job today. My name is Nakano Ichika, and I am very grateful for your help."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. When you're traveling, it's only natural to lend a helping hand if you see someone in need. My name is Kashima Yu, it's nice to meet you."

Naoto, who was standing to the side, did not introduce himself.

He's so famous now, and he's already putting on a simple disguise. Naoto thinks it's best not to expose himself unless absolutely necessary.

However, when Naoto heard the name Nakano Ichika, he felt that it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Amidst their puzzled looks, Naoto calmly said to them, "No need for introductions. I'm just offering to help; there's no need to worry about that."

Just then, the tram arrived at the station, and the man and his companion rushed out of the tram without hesitation.

"You damn bastard! Listen to me! Next time, I'll make you regret it!"

Before leaving, the arrogant man made a threat, but the next moment, several police officers were already standing in front of them.

"Hello, please come with us."

It turns out that before taking action, Naoto had already notified the police, giving them a complete and detailed account of everything. It's safe to say that these people won't be getting out for quite some time.

Chapter 153: Prince or Princess?

"Brother Yamashita, thank you so much. If you hadn't informed us, we wouldn't have been able to catch these habitual criminals. These guys have committed several crimes along this route this week, but they've escaped every time."

"Not at all, it's my pleasure to be of help. If there's nothing else, then see you next time."

"Okay, come again next time!"

After a warm farewell from the railway police officers, Naoto then headed towards the film crew.

Coincidentally, the police officer who responded to the call today was the same one who came last time. After seeing that Naoto had once again helped catch the criminal, the officer praised Naoto again and also asked for Naoto's autograph for his son.

When Naoto arrived at the film set, screenwriter Izumi and director Akagi warmly greeted him.

"ONE teacher, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule."

"Enough with the small talk, when exactly does the audition start?"

"About an hour later, there's still some time."

"Alright then, call me when it starts, I have some things to take care of."

Seeing that Naoto didn't seem very interested in casting, the two of them were starting to feel a bit of a headache.
