A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

"No, I'm at a friend's house right now. It's in a neighborhood called..."

“The location in the neighborhood is actually quite hard to find. How about I take you to a nearby convenience store? That way, it will be convenient for your relatives to pick you up,” Natsuki Aoi suggested.

"Okay!" Mao then repeated what Aoi Natsuki had said to her aunt, who naturally agreed immediately on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Natsuki Aoi walked over to Mao and sent her aunt the address of the convenience store.

Get it done.

"Later, Rina and I will take you there." Aoi Natsuki handed the phone back to her.

"Hmm..." For some reason, Mao became a little shy, took the phone with both hands and held it to her chest, while Rina had already finished cleaning up the trash.

"Oh, good job, Lina."

"Awoo!" Lina exclaimed excitedly, hands on her hips.

Fifteen minutes later, Natsuki Aoi helped Rina put on a down jacket and put a scarf on Mao, then led the two girls out the door, one on each side.

Leaving home in this state, getting to a convenience store is already the limit; if I had gone to the subway station, I probably would have been photographed and reported by brave citizens.

Having gone to the police station seven times in April to give statements, the police officers at the nearby police station began to call him "the son of bad luck."

Walking uphill, I arrived at the convenience store and waited for Mao's aunt to appear.

Two girls are standing in the convenience store.

He stood outside watching.

The winter wind is still howling.

He tucked both hands into the sleeve of the other hand, and his straight back unconsciously bent.

Just then, a shout startled him.

Looking up, he saw Takahashi Mito, who was also trembling not far away, staring in his direction in shock.

"..."

Aoi Natsuki suddenly remembered where that voice sounded familiar. "Japan is really small," she thought. "So it was you..."

Through the glass, Mao led Rina out of the convenience store, shouting, "Auntie!"

Mao then rushed over enthusiastically and gave Mito Takahashi a hug.

Mito Takahashi was still in a daze, and when she came to her senses, her surprised expression remained.

Aoi Natsuki pursed her lips, and before she could ask any questions, she pulled Rina to her side and pointed at the two of them back and forth with her right index finger: "The two of them are classmates."

Concise and clear, succinct and to the point.

Takahashi Mito lowered her head, and after confirming with her eyes, her expression became even stranger. She never expected it to be Aoi!

After clenching his teeth for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a single word: "Damn!"

"Hey! Don't swear in front of children!"

"..." Takahashi Mi was speechless. If it were her old temper, she would have argued with him, but now their relationship was somewhat delicate and sensitive, so she could only swallow her words. "Mao, let's go."

He patted Mao on the back and prepared to leave.

But the next second, Mao took the initiative to tug at her sleeve: "Auntie, you should be polite. Someone brought me here, and it's so cold outside, we should thank them."

"what?"

"Yes! You must thank me!"

Mao's attitude was very firm.

Mito Takahashi was taken aback, her gaze constantly shifting between Mao and Aoi. What was going on?

Then, thank that guy...

Mito Takahashi became reserved. In her memory, when did she always start playing this humble role? Everything changed from the day of her birthday party, first with Aoi, then with Hayakawa. Now, all she could remember was constantly apologizing to Natsuki Aoi.

What on earth happened?!

Chapter 114 Do I really like this guy?

Aoi Natsuki noticed that something was wrong with her expression, and thinking about it, it made sense. For someone as proud as Takahashi, it was indeed quite difficult to say a word of thanks, especially in such a sudden situation.

"It's nothing really. It's so cold outside, let's take Mao home soon." Aoi Natsuki only realized how cold it was after stepping outside. Now he was filled with regret, thinking he should have worn more layers.

Takahashi Mito realized that he was trying to save face for her, but in reality, she wasn't thinking about whether or not to apologize. Instead, she was wondering about what had happened in the past, and it was clear that Aoi had misunderstood.

I was thinking of explaining, but the words that came out were: "Do you think I'm such an impolite person?!"

Ah... his tone turned very hostile again.

Aoi Natsuki's expression remained calm after hearing this, as if she had seen it all before, and she casually asked, "So what do you want?"

These words effectively shut down Takahashi Mitsu's escape route. Standing there as if struggling with a dilemma, after five or six seconds, she bowed deeply to him and shouted, "Thank you!"

She immediately straightened up, and at that moment, Natsuki Aoi noticed that her entire face was flushed.

"Is this alright?"

“I did say…”

"Mao! Let's go home!" Mito Takahashi's voice rose eight octaves as she grabbed Mao's hand and turned to leave.

Aoi Natsuki was somewhat bewildered. Lately, she had become increasingly unsure of what Takahashi was thinking, as she was often moody and unpredictable. The affection level was fluctuating unusually again, indicating that Takahashi Mito's heart was currently extremely unsettled.

Watching Takahashi lead Mao out of the right street corner, I never expected that Mao's aunt was actually Takahashi. What a coincidence!

call……

The hot breath exhaled by Natsuki Aoi formed irregular white patterns in the air, and Rina's shouts could be heard in her ears.

Turning around, I saw Lina standing in front of a gashapon machine at the entrance of the convenience store, her hands and cheeks unconsciously pressed against the transparent glass, looking at the colorful little balls inside.

Kids love these things.

Aoi Natsuki smiled and stepped forward, patting her entire body. She had exactly 300 yen: "Let's play once then."

After dropping the coin into the groove at the bottom, Natsuki Aoi, seeing that Rina didn't move, continued, "Twist this spot, and the little ball on top will fall down."

With her right hand pointing to something resembling a knob at the bottom, Lina nodded with wide eyes, bent down and turned the knob clockwise. Music started playing inside the gashapon machine, and a light pink ball rolled down.

Lina's face lit up with instant delight. Although she didn't know what was inside, she really liked the way it was presented.

Aoi Natsuki wrapped herself tighter, gently pinched her cheek, and was about to pick her up and rush home when she suddenly heard Takahashi's voice, which sounded very unpleasant.

Picking up Lina, he jogged over to the corner ahead to take a look. As soon as he peeked out, he saw a man with a mohawk and wearing a black cotton coat blocking Takahashi's way. His expression was particularly exaggerated, and he kept talking about what had just happened.

Aoi Natsuki listened briefly and learned that when Takahashi passed by, Mao accidentally stepped on his shoe, and now it seemed that he was trying to extort money.

There were hardly any people around on this street, and their attitude was particularly arrogant.

"What did you say? Cleaning fee?"

"Yes, it's a cleaning fee. These shoes of mine are very expensive, and I usually take good care of them. Now that they're so dirty, I definitely need to charge you a cleaning fee. That's not unreasonable, is it?" The sleazy man leaned closer, revealing his ugly face.

Mito Takahashi's anger was about to reach its breaking point, but she was still protecting a child in her arms, so she hadn't taken any action yet.

The delinquent man met her gaze and immediately flew into a rage, shoving Mao, who was barely up to his waist, to the ground: "Hey! What kind of look is that?!"

Mao's fall to the ground happened so suddenly that not only Takahashi Mido, but even Aoi was stunned. She immediately rushed forward, blocking the two of them, staring directly at the delinquent in front of her, her pupils full of anger: "You're causing trouble for a kid, don't you have any shame as an adult?"

After saying that, he turned around and helped up the bewildered Mao. Her small face was full of disbelief. When she saw her older brother appear, she immediately rushed over and grabbed his clothes tightly.

"And what are you? A hero saving a damsel in distress? With your tiny frame?"

The scoundrel said disdainfully.

Although Aoi Natsuki was very angry, she hadn't lost her mind. Judging from the size of her opponent, he looked to be about 160 or 170 pounds and 1.8 meters tall, a whole size bigger than her. If she were to fight mindlessly, even if she could win, she would probably pay a heavy price.

Looking at this guy's face, it's full of fierce flesh, and he doesn't seem like someone who can be made to back down with words. He must have been in and out of the police station quite a few times.

So what should he do...?

Aoi Natsuki's mind raced through various possibilities, while the delinquent man glanced at the thin boy who also had a child with him, and immediately realized that he alone couldn't change anything. His arrogance intensified, and he leaned closer: "Hey! Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you so cocky just now? Raise your weak hand and try punching me in the face!"

Upon hearing this, Aoi Natsuki's gaze shifted upwards, landing on the delinquent man's chin. He had previously watched boxing anime where striking an enemy's chin could cause a concussion. It didn't feel painful, but the legs would tremble uncontrollably, eventually causing the person to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

but……

The latter part of the video further states that one should not easily attempt this on an ordinary person, as improper control of force and position could potentially lead to lifelong hemiplegia or even endanger their life.

Such serious consequences...

A multitude of ideas were accumulating in his mind.

The delinquent man's body is slowly closing in; is it really the only option left to make a move?

"what!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out behind Aoi Natsuki, which quickly attracted the attention of the people present.

The delinquent man lowered his head and slightly raised it. The next second, a dark shadow flashed by. He felt his head suddenly sink, and a sharp pain surged to the top of his head. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Five seconds later, there was still no movement.

Aoi Natsuki opened her mouth slightly and turned to look at Takahashi Mito, who had just unleashed a back kick.

Holy crap! I almost forgot you had that trick up your sleeve!

Seeing that the person on the ground was no longer moving, Takahashi Mitsu's anger subsided quickly with the blow, and she let out a long breath.

If this guy hadn't bent down and brought his face close to Aoi's to provoke her, she probably wouldn't have been able to kick him given his height. It was only because he bent down and was in such a perfect position that she couldn't help but take a kick!

That was so satisfying!

"This..." Natsuki Aoi was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He hadn't expected this turn of events at all. He thought he was going to be caught in a fierce battle, but he was unexpectedly defeated by the enraged Takahashi with a single blow, using that very familiar move!

My gaze unconsciously drifted toward Mito Takahashi.

After realizing what she had just done, her face immediately filled with embarrassment. Had she just... stolen his thunder? Perhaps there was a better way to handle it?

"When did your move become so powerful?"

"..." Takahashi Mito's face turned red instantly. "Well, well, they practiced a lot later on."

Good heavens! It turns out that after I accidentally discovered the weakness of her move, she had specifically practiced it again!

Just how unwilling they are to admit defeat!
