Tokyo: After years of stagnation, the heiress of the yakuza arrives.

"Sir, I'm a law-abiding citizen! I don't know her! She's trying to scam you!"

Kuroba Shido raised his hands above his head, looking like an honest man.

He decisively chose to betray the beautiful but wicked girl in front of him who was trying to harm him.

You're right, we're about to have all the main characters of the Tokyo gigolo, including handsome, melancholic, and poor guys... and now even the final "beautiful girl from the sky" element is coming together.

But thank you, no thanks. I just want to go home, eat my discounted rice balls, drink some soda, and relax in a corner so Mu can lie comfortably in bed.

Before finally going to sleep, I entered a mysterious little website and studied the outstanding works of various teachers frame by frame... ending a happy day for the mouse man.

Instead of being used as a punching bag here, or being the little boy stuck in a washing machine, after all... now everyone around me is a black person, oh no, I mean a man in black.

At that moment, Shido Kuroba also noticed that the words above the head of the vicious and beautiful girl in front of him had changed.

[Current state: Shocked, bewildered, searching for ways to buy time, while also contemplating ways to torment the boy...]

[Salted Fish Guide: Continue trading, empty your salted fish points, gain a chance to survive, avoid being silenced, and after successfully escaping, continue searching for a suitable gigolo to enjoy yourself to the fullest...]

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Password, at a time like this, you bastard, you're still thinking about having some fun?

Dude, I'm about to double-tap my temples to restart, and you're still enjoying it?

But it seems pretty good, doesn't it?

Although his system was indeed a bit ruthless, it was really useful at crucial moments and has already revealed quite a lot of information.

It pointed out a clear path; there's only one way in the world to overcome injustice... Kryptonite!

I opened my "little treasure chest" and saw a dense array of random coins. I quickly scrolled down and searched, finally finding the "Kryptonite Zone".

All of these are limited-time experiences. Kuroba Shido calls this place the "Three-Second True Man Shop," and that's not an exaggeration; it really is only three seconds.

E.g.

[Hyperthymesia 3-Second Trial Card: 999 remaining - Price: 100 Salted Fish Points]

This is the "Three-Second True Man Experience Card" that Kuroba Shido uses specifically for exams. It's for cramming and reviewing; Kuroba Shido can finish everything he learns in a semester in just one minute.

But this thing doesn't seem to be very useful now. It can't be that he has to remember the face of every person who hit him and then report it to Uncle Hat, can it?

Don't be ridiculous, the hat-wearing uncles here in Japan always say "secretly" to everyone, using passwords, it's better if they do it themselves!

I scrolled down quickly, and although I was reluctant to leave, I finally found what I was looking for.

[Copper Skin and Iron Bones 3-Second Trial Card: 999 remaining - Price: 500 Salted Fish Points]

[Spider-Sense 3-Second Trial Card: 10 remaining - Price: 1000 Salted Fish Points]

[National Martial Arts Peak 3-Second Trial Card: 5 remaining - Price: 5000 Salted Fish Points]

I can't take it anymore, my heart is bleeding, I can't watch anymore...

Kuroba Shido determined what he needed, and then... he spent money on in-game purchases!

Purchase successful!

[Account Points - 40000]

[Copper Skin and Iron Bones *10]

[Spider-Sense *10]

[Peak of Chinese Martial Arts *10]

Having already experienced the "hyperthymesia" three-second real man experience multiple times, Shido Kuroba was ready as always, closing his eyes and preparing to experience the "deus ex machina"!

Copper skin and iron bones to defend against knives, spider senses to dodge bullets, the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts to forge a path... all the ideas were completed in the mind, flawless!

Close your eyes and feel the breath of the wind... Open your eyes!

It's now!

Turn on this, this, and this! Turn them all on!!!

In an instant, Shido Kuroba's aura changed, becoming unfathomable and terrifying. His eyes sharpened, and the menacing black-clad figures gathered outside the alley all took a step back.

With a solemn expression, he looked at the "true hope of the Jingu family" before him!

boom!

Kuroba Shido, carrying a litter of kittens, leaped into the air, using a trash can as leverage, which exploded. He gripped the wall with one hand, chiseling several black finger holes in it, and with a dashing mid-air somersault, exuding unparalleled momentum, he scaled the wall and ran away.

Yes, that's right... they ran away.

There was no hero saving the damsel in distress, nor any story of fighting one punch at a time to build a bright future; all that happened was running away.

Aoko Jingu: "???"

Everyone: "???"

We've been waiting for ages, everyone thought you were a tough guy, but here you are?

On the wall, Kuroba Shido, who had successfully escaped the dead end by using the "three-second real man time" technique, looked like he had just survived a disaster. He was terribly weak and his face was deathly pale. The peak of martial arts still consumed his own physical strength!

He's not Shabe, or Little Head Dad or Big Head Son... how could his thinking be replaced?

That damned woman is trying to ruin him, dragging him down with her.

Regardless of whether the other party was helpless or not, given his malicious intentions, even if there were a way to save him, we wouldn't. He's not a saint; he's just a salted fish lying flat.

What's more, the other party wants to drag him down and kill him...

It's already good enough that they didn't let the other party experience what "the power of a strongman" is like.

"Holy crap, that high?"

The extremely weak Kuroba Shido glanced at the sea of ​​heads below, took a half step back. Was he really that awesome just now, flipping up from over ten meters high like that?

Forget it, let's just run away first.

Before leaving, Kuroba Shido gave the middle finger to the crowd below: "Come on, your grandpa's right here. Come on if you dare, you bunch of idiots."

Everyone: "..."

Kuroba Shido's concentrated attack was very successful because... all the men in black who had been staring at the black-haired girl turned their attention to Kuroba Shido on the roof.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Silently, Kuroba Shido retracted his raised middle finger, his "hehe" turning into "no hehe"... and started running away!

A moment later...

"grass!!!"

"Damn it, stop chasing me! I really don't know that damn woman, just let me go!!!"

As Kuroba Shido ran, he begged for mercy, showing no awareness whatsoever of a handsome young man from Tokyo saving a beautiful girl; only the rat-man's overwhelming desire to survive... gradually receding into the distance.

Dead woman?

Below, Aoko's lips twitched, and the feigned weakness on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp and decisive expression.

Looking around, there were far more than half the people missing.

More than 70% of the people were drawn to Kuroba Shido, which reduced the pressure on her, but... even so, she still couldn't escape.

There was only one bullet left in the gun, and she hadn't decided what to do with it yet. She didn't want to keep it for herself...

Even though less than 30% of the original population remained, there were still dozens of them, a dark mass of heads gradually surrounding and approaching.

Aoko Jingu's expression darkened, and she slowly raised her gun.

"Stop! Let go of that girl!!!"

The words had barely left his mouth when, in the next second, the king descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity!

Shido Kuroba jumped down from the sky, then returned, his eyes filled with determination and the sense of responsibility that a handsome young man from Tokyo should have!

For a moment, Aoko Jingu was in a daze. She never expected that the guy on the roadside would actually run away and come back.

I have to say... he's pretty handsome.

At least for that one moment, Shido Kuroba occupied Aoko Jingu's heart, even if only for a moment.

Before he could even enjoy his joy for two seconds, Kuroba Shido put down the litter of kittens he was holding, grabbed Jingu Aoko, and with a standard chokehold, snatched her pistol.

Hold off Aoko Jingu with all her might!

boom!

A gunshot rang out!

"Don't you dare come any closer, or I'll shoot! If I kill her, none of us will have a good time!!!" Kuroba Shido said menacingly.

Aoko Jingu: "???"

Everyone: "???"
