I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

"You bastard, how dare you launch a sneak attack!"

"You dared to rob Orario, and now you're blaming me for ambushing you?"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, he pulled a dagger from his hand. When he left the Adventurers' Guild, he already knew that someone was following him thanks to Hassan the Hundred Faces' ability.

It's such a classic story: a newcomer gets rich, gets robbed, and then gets slapped in the face by a show-off and turns the tables. It's such a classic story. He really didn't expect to encounter such a plot himself.

Therefore, he switched Chen Gong back to Arash in the team. On the ground, Arash's passives are more useful than Chen Gong's, and the specific performance is like this!

The second dagger was thrown, and the now wary robbers quickly dodged, but in the process of dodging the dagger, Fujimaru Ritsuka was already right in their faces.

"Nani!"

"Morata!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka reached out and grabbed the man with the bruised head, then slammed it hard against the ground.

The immense force smashed the stone bricks on the ground, and the man's head was embedded in one of the cracks.

With one hand pressing down on the back of the man's head, Fujimaru Ritsuka performed a side somersault, supporting her weight solely on the arm holding the man's head. Her feet left the ground, and she quickly sprang to the sides, kicking the two robbers on either side directly in the chin, sending their heads flying backward and crashing into the walls on either side.

"asshole!"

Suddenly, the three were attacked, which panicked the remaining people. They shouted and drew their swords to attack Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at the group's movements and found them incredibly slow. His legs, which had been extended to kick, retracted again, and with a leg sweep, he bound one of the men's sword-wielding arms. Then, his free hand swiftly grabbed the man's calf, and with a forceful pull, he dragged the man down. Because his calf was pinned down, the pull caused the man to stumble, and what awaited him was Fujimaru Ritsuka's knee.

A knee strike landed squarely on the opponent's face, shattering his nose and causing his face to cave in, leaving blood splattered all over Fujimaru Ritsuka's pants.

After rolling over and loosening her legs to shake off her opponent, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up, looking at the bloodstains on her knees with some disgust.

"Tsk!"

These pants are white! They're going to be such a hassle to wash!

With a look of disgust, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned her gaze to the remaining robbers, and that one glance was enough to terrify them into scattering and fleeing.

How could they possibly escape? As they ran out of the alley, they saw another Fujimaru Ritsuka blocking their way.

While preparing to intercept these guys, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already created a clone. As they ran away, the clone rushed up and took them all down with a light yet heavy movement, like a gymnastic routine.

"A truly rotten person will only become more rotten."

Looking at the scene of corpses strewn all over the ground, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh.

I have to say, the combination of Great Hero and Hundred Faces is really useful. There's continuous self-destruction at long range, and Hundred Faces' high agility Hassan Gymnastics combined with Great Hero's Robust EX makes it fast and powerful! Robust EX Hassan! Have you ever seen one?!

After sighing, Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at the people on the ground for a while, then looked up at her clone.

"Go find a rope, I'm taking this bunch of trash to the guild."

Volume 1: 12. I'll take care of the things the union dares not handle!

"Hey, what's going on?"

"What's going on with that guy?"

"Is it a clan war? Or what?"

"What a joke, clan wars don't happen in cities, and they don't happen without a sound."

"The Ganesha Familia's military police are here. Let's wait and see what happens."

On Northwest Street, pedestrians on the roadside stopped what they were doing and started discussing what was happening in the middle of the road. Eight people were tied together and being dragged along like dead dogs with a rope.

This person is none other than Fujimaru Ritsuka!

There were eight people who wanted to rob him, and after all eight of them were knocked unconscious, Fujimaru Ritsuka had his clone find ropes to tie them up, and then dragged them directly out of the alley and all the way to the Adventurers' Guild. The entire Northwest Street was left with a long trail of blood on the ground because of Fujimaru Ritsuka's dragging, leaving the passersby dumbfounded.

They were dragged all the way from Northwest Street to the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild.

"Stop! Stop now!"

The Ganesha clan military police, responsible for maintaining order within the city, arrived and immediately demanded that Fujimaru Ritsuka stop.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't continue dragging him in. Since they had already arrived at their destination, she simply threw away the rope in her hand and stood there casually clapping her hands.

The military police captain, who was wearing an ivory mask, looked at the situation behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, his eyebrows furrowing beneath the mask, before turning to look at her.

"Who are you? What's going on here?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not introduce herself, but instead pointed her thumb backward at the eight robbers behind her.

"It's simple. This group of guys tried to rob me, and I beat them up instead."

Robberies are commonplace in Orario. Although the military police have always emphasized that robberies are not allowed, they still happen.

However, today's situation is quite different from usual.

The captain of the military police couldn't help but swallow hard when he looked at the eight people behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It wasn't that I was hungry, but rather that I was horrified by the terrible state of these eight people. I had only glanced at them briefly and hadn't paid attention to the details, but now that I looked closely, I realized that they were all bruised and swollen, with blood flowing continuously, and they looked like they were about to die.

"You solved their problems all by yourself?"

"Yes, it's in the alley ahead."

Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to point backwards with her thumb into the alley not far behind her.

"I won't point to any particular alley; you should be able to figure it out yourself."

How could you not be able to tell? The bloodstains on the ground stretched all the way out of the alley. Just by following the bloodstains dragged out by these robbers, you could get straight to the crime scene.

"There's no need to go to the alleys. I believe what you say."

The military police captain was too lazy to go to the scene. Others might not understand Orario's situation, but didn't he?

"Are you new to Orario? Are you level 2 or level 3?"

The captain had been on patrol all day, just like the adventurers in the dungeon, and was unaware of the latest news. Therefore, he was curious about Fujimaru Ritsuka's situation, especially since Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't introduced herself.

"Let me introduce it."

The guild was already bustling with activity at the entrance, and Eina, who was in charge of dealing with Fujimaru Ritsuka, also ran out at this time.

"Captain Ryan, this is Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka. He just arrived in Orario today. He is not LV2, nor LV3, but LV1."

"As for his identity, he is a member of the newly formed Astrea Familia, a follower of the Goddess of Justice!"

"The newly formed Astrea Familia? Is it the goddess Astrea!?"

The military police captain stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka in shock.

"That's right, it's the Astrea Familia you're thinking of!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded affirmatively, then crossed her arms over her chest.

"I've finished speaking, now it's your turn!"

"we?"

The military police captain and Eina were taken aback, not understanding what Fujimaru Ritsuka meant.

"Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka, is there something you need?"

“Although I’ve only been in Orario for a short time, arriving this morning, I already have a basic understanding of most of the situation here. Your Ganesha Familia, as the largest family in Orario, has been entrusted by the Guild to become Orario’s military police, responsible for managing Orario’s security. Since you are the only family with this authority, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you are official personnel of Orario, right?”

"Yes."

The military police captain nodded affirmatively and felt proud of it. As one of the giants of Orario, the Ganesha Familia was entrusted by the guild to take money to manage public security, and their status in Orario was quite high.

Are you proud?

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the military police captain and immediately started to mock him.

Are you proud of your terrible public security management?

"What did you say!"

“I was robbed outside the city today. A group of eleven men, their faces not even covered, surrounded and attacked the carriage I was in. If it weren’t for me, all six newcomers on the carriage would have died at the hands of those robbers. And your men only appeared when I was about to finish off those guys!”

"This..."

“You can say that the area outside the city is too far for you to manage, but you should at least take charge of the area inside the city. I just left the guild not long ago and I was targeted by this bunch of scumbags. If I weren’t strong enough, what do you think would have happened to me?”

"I..."

"And before I took action, I asked them if they weren't afraid of the military police, and guess what their answer was."

“They said the military police have no jurisdiction over them! You only care about the main streets, the alleys and stuff, you don’t care at all!”

"Since you don't even care about the places where evil is most likely to breed, and only maintain the order of the main road, what use are you? It's just watching the streets anyway, any member of the clan can do that!"

"you!"

The military police captain tried to argue, but Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored him and turned her gaze to Eina.

"And you all!"

"what!!"

Eina was startled by Fujimaru Ritsuka's imposing manner and let out a small scream.

"The Ganesha Familia says they only have the power to maintain order, but what about your guild? You have the power to make decisions, right? Your guild collects city taxes and commercial taxes in Orario, and even takes a cut from adventurers' Materia exchange. With so much money in your hands, what have you done for those who work hard and live honest lives?"

"we..."

"You've only been in Orario for a day and already experienced two robberies firsthand. Tell me, how many robberies happen in Orario every year? Your guild controls all the adventurer resources in Orario. Is it so hard for you to spend some money and deal with those rule-breaking adventurers? Is it that you don't dare, can't, or don't want to?"

"And what about the punishment for those who break the rules and take risks? They kill people outside the city, and your final punishment is merely deprivation of favors and exile. Is that fair to the people they killed?"

"I...."

Eina was stunned. She felt like crying. She was just a receptionist; why was she being questioned like this...?

"If you are not willing to truly uphold fairness and justice in Orario and protect the ordinary and weak from those rule-breaking adventurers, then don't act like superior managers!"

"Ordinary people's lives matter too!"

Eina, who wanted to refute, was completely stunned by this last sentence! Not only her, but the military police captain next to her was also stunned.

While they were still in shock, Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled out a dagger, flashed to the side of the robbers, and with a series of slashes, severed all the thumbs of the robbers' hands.

Eina realized what was happening and immediately shouted.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka-san, what are you doing!?"

"What am I doing? I'm upholding justice!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka crushed the thumbs on the ground with one foot, preventing them from reattaching their fingers.

"As a member of the newly formed Astrea Familia, I, Fujimaru Ritsuka, hereby declare: Justice and fairness will return to Orario! What the guild dares not handle, I will handle! What the Ganesha Familia dares not arrest, I will arrest! Any evildoer who bullies the weak will be brought to justice!"

P.S.: Please add my new book to your favorites and recommend it!

Volume 1: 13. I Want to Be a Partner of Justice

If it were another Familia who wanted to take care of something the Guild didn't want to deal with, someone the Ganesha Familia dared not arrest, then that Familia would probably be criticized, and the Guild and the Ganesha Familia would take action. But the Astrea Familia wouldn't. In fact, after Fujimaru Ritsuka announced to everyone that he was a member of the Astrea Familia and upheld justice, he was in an invincible position in Orario.

This is thanks to the good reputation that the previous Asteria Familia had left in Orario.

When the first Asteria Familia was established in Orario, it was led by the goddess Asteria and upheld the principle of helping the weak and oppressed. Although it was not an officially commissioned family of the guild and did not have the official law enforcement status of the Ganesha Familia, the Asteria Familia spontaneously served as a civilian security force, protecting civilians, cracking down on evil factions, and combating oppression. They were deeply loved by lower-class adventurers and citizens, so much so that the Ganesha Familia, as an official law enforcement force, did not have the same prestige as the Asteria Familia. Even the guild recognized the Asteria Familia as a hero family.

Adventurers may have a chance to be replaced every few years, but ordinary citizens take much longer to be replaced.

So when Fujimaru Ritsuka brought the name of the Asteria Familia back into the air in Orario after several years, the citizens naturally sided with him. Not to mention that Fujimaru Ritsuka openly declared his intention to fight evil and oppress the weak, making him a natural ally for the citizens!

Even though the Astrea Familia only has Fujimaru Ritsuka as a newcomer right now, he can perfectly inherit the good reputation left by the Astrea Familia! This means that even though Fujimaru Ritsuka says things that are extremely disrespectful to the guild and the Ganesha Familia, they can't do anything to him.

Not only can they not do anything, but to a certain extent, they also have to support and protect Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a member of the Familia of Justice, and the reputation of the Goddess of Justice is well-known. As the vanguard sent back to Orario by the Goddess of Justice, every move Fujimaru Ritsuka makes represents the Goddess of Justice.

Fujimaru Ritsuka said that this is not justice. In other people's eyes, it is the goddess of justice who thinks this is wrong. If Fujimaru Ritsuka thinks that Orario has done something wrong, then it is the goddess of justice who thinks that has done something wrong.

Therefore, they had to do something. If the guild and the Ganesha Familia didn't do something, their reputation would decline. Ganesha, the elephant-headed god and chief god of the Ganesha Familia, would never allow such a thing to happen. As for the Adventurers' Guild, although it was founded by the god Uranus, Uranus had long since stopped managing it. The guild was actually run by Guild Master Royman, an extremely greedy elf. He would never allow the decline of the guild's reputation to affect his earnings.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not worried at all when he spoke. After the Adventurers' Guild made its declaration of justice and handed over the eight robbers, whose thumbs had been cut off and who could no longer hold swords, to the guild for processing, he turned and left with a flourish. This was the confidence that the Astrea Familia gave him!

As for why he made these remarks, besides fulfilling his promise to the goddess Astrea to make the Astrea Familia great again, another reason was the terrible world of Digimon.

When watching the anime, Fujimaru Ritsuka saw handsome boys and cute girls, and they fought monsters and went on adventures together to build bonds. But after actually being transported to this world, the reality he experienced was absolutely terrible.

In the sword-wielding city of Solingen, where the newly formed Astrea Familia resides, the members of the Astrea Familia are doing the same things they did back in Orario: maintaining order and protecting civilians. As for why the Astrea Familia needs to take action, it's naturally because the city of Solingen also has all sorts of heinous incidents.
