Becoming a god in Tokyo starts in the bathroom

Moreover, if it were just about eliminating that organization and then telling her what that organization did to her and what happened to her, especially the role her parents played in this, Hamasaki Bemi's despair would absolutely explode!

One can even imagine that, just hours after learning that such an email had been sent, the entire organization was completely wiped out—the combination of these two events...

It's not surprising that Hamasaki Bemi might resent the person who resolved the situation because she felt they were using her as bait.

When Hamasaki Bemi learns everything and is in such an extreme emotional state, even if He Chen prevents her from committing any suicide, the mere existence of such extreme emotions will directly lead to the birth of something bizarre!

As for not informing...

Even if He Chen tried to communicate with them, not only would he not inform them, but he would also prevent the police from contacting Hamasaki Bemi and telling her the truth.

After that, whenever Hamasaki Bemi connected with the outside world through any means of communication, even if she ran into her friends in Tokyo on the street...

So, now that things have reached this point, justice can indeed be served by outsiders, but the bizarre will still be born!

Therefore, in this situation, the only option is to try to rekindle Hamasaki Bemi's other hopes, to make her feel, no, to let her know, that although many bad things have happened to her, she still has hope, and can still live her life, and live a good life.

As for how to achieve this...

Friend, have you ever heard of dreams?

------------

"...That's roughly the situation. You need to find your dream, find the direction for your future life, and then those bad guys will be dealt with by the gods!"

Following He Chen's instructions on the task panel, Shiratori Karin told Hamasaki Bemi a slightly veiled version of the situation. Of course, the main point was that Hamasaki Bemi needed dreams and goals.

Although the description was quite cryptic, Hamasaki Bemi, as the person involved, was perfectly able to understand what Shiratori Karin was talking about.

Especially after hearing what Shiratori Karin said—that the organization's members had been completely subdued the moment she discovered the situation, and that the more than seven million yen she had been swindled out of would all be returned to her—Hamasaki Bemi's mood visibly brightened with excitement.

"Hey! Thank you so much! You have no idea, they've drained all my money. If they come looking for me again this week, I really won't have a single penny left!"

"You really saved me. I've been so worried these past few days that they would spread my content to the company and home!"

Shiratori Karin was unaware that what Hamasaki Bemi was worried about had already happened in a more serious way. After all, telling her this directly, given her emotional state, was essentially the same as telling Hamasaki Bemi directly.

So, Shiratori Karin and Hamasaki Bemi, both equally spirited, walked toward a place where they could talk and began discussing their dreams.

During this process, Shiratori Karin recounted the dangerous situation she had previously encountered to Hamasaki Bemi.

"Wow, so you went through something really dangerous before, and you bravely dealt with them? Siguoyi! Are you really cured now? Gods are truly amazing!"

"By the way, my dad's been having some health issues. I wonder if, in the meantime, the gods could help me fulfill my dream and, while you're at it, help my dad recover his health too! Hehe, or maybe help my dad find his dream as well~"

"Huh?! 'Agile Half-Fatty' also became like this with the help of the gods?! I follow him! Watching his live streams, I could never tell that he only started learning street dance in the last two days. The gods are truly amazing!"

"Wow, there are still people that old who dream of becoming mahjong players? With divine help, that auntie will surely make a name for herself in no time!"

......

With the heavy weight lifted from her heart, Hamasaki Bemi suddenly became quite lively and talkative. As she listened to Shiratori Karin's narration, she kept uttering various words that sounded like a straight man's, and her own eyes brightened with each of Shiratori Karin's descriptions.

After hearing so many other people's stories, something began to stir within her as well.

Once the two of them were seated in a small private room, Shiratori Karin, who had been talking for a while, once again asked Hamasaki Bemi a serious question:

"So, Bumi-chan, what's your dream? Whether it's realistic or not, you can tell me!"

Chapter 295 This Dream... It's Something Special (Part 2)

What is a dream?

Despite having heard the introductions all the way, Hamasaki Bemi admired and longed for other people's dreams and the realization of those dreams.

However, for Hamasaki Bemi, who was last asked what her dream was when she was in junior high or elementary school, this question was still somewhat unfamiliar.

So much so that Hamasaki Bemi, sitting in the private room, was clearly bewildered:

"Is a dream... the job you want to do in the future?"

Upon hearing the word "work," Shiratori Karin paused for a moment, then thought for a second:

"Work, does that not quite fit? A dream is... what you want to become in the future? But, maybe that counts as work too?"

Shiratori Karin was not a philosopher after all, and seemed rather clumsy when it came to the question of "what is a dream".

She herself couldn't explain it clearly, so Hamasaki Bemi naturally understood even less.

According to established etiquette, not pressing the issue further in this situation would be the most appropriate course of action. However, faced with something that seemed to define the future direction of their relationship, Hamasaki Bemi dared not be ambiguous and continued to ask:

"Miss Shiratori, what is your dream? And why did you choose this dream?"

"My dream... my dream is to help others achieve their dreams!"

"Back then, due to my illness, my eyesight was very poor, and my health was constantly deteriorating. At that time..."

Upon hearing this question, Shiratori Karin's expression changed. She recalled the nightmares she had experienced and the other "companions" she had helped who had fallen into despair.

Although, in a sense, her current job, or rather her "dream," was more or less influenced and imposed upon her by He Chen, since He Chen hadn't given her any other options in the first place.

However, in Shiratori Karin's heart, helping others get out of life's difficulties and become the people they want to be, instead of struggling in the bitterness of life, is a very important thing!

"The world I want to see is one where everyone is striving for their dreams, not like it is now! So, with the help of the gods, I want to help as many other people in need as possible, so that they can pursue their dreams!"

"Seeing others strive for their dreams makes me incredibly happy, just as happy as when I discovered I had recovered my health!"

As she said these words, Shiratori Karin seemed to be glowing.

Although these words sound naive and don't seem to fit Hamasaki Bemi's question, and her way of helping others achieve their dreams is now only with the help of a god who is actually unreliable.

However, He Chen and Hamasaki Bemi, who were present, truly felt her conviction.

Hamasaki was stunned and amazed, while He Chen, after being touched, couldn't help but show a toothache on his face:

"Hiss~! What's going on? Wasn't she just some pretty but incredibly unlucky girl I randomly picked?! And I was the one who asked her to do these things! Damn it, are all pretty Japanese women abnormal?"

Is Shiratori Karin's belief good? Of course it is!

Moreover, the belief she expressed and the plan He Chen was about to execute were so perfectly aligned that they seemed like a match made in heaven.

But the problem is...

Although He Chen did have a similar plan, he wasn't really confident in it!

To be honest, from the moment he came into this world, he devised many plans, such as: the plan to take over the girls' bathroom, the plan to dominate Tsunayoshi High School, the plan to replace the God of Luck, the plan to become the God of Internet Sex...

Etc., etc.

However, apart from a very few plans that were successfully executed by chance, most of these plans went astray due to various obstacles.

Although Shiratori Karin's beliefs are so sincere and she's doing a decent job of carrying them out, He Chen, the god she relies on, doesn't really think he can stay on the right track!

"Shiratori-san! I've found my dream: to become a vigilante in Tokyo's midnight, sweeping away those who commit evil deeds in the night!"

"Even if I don't have enough power in the process, and can't solve them with force like in urban legends, even if I don't have money, and doing such a thing affects my life, I still want to do it!"

Just then, a passionate and rousing voice rang out.

Hamasaki Bemi, a 27-year-old office worker, was saying some rather childish things, but her eyes were shining with a light of expectation!

"Damn it, I knew it! Being led like this would never be a good thing!"

Upon hearing these ridiculously childish words, He Chen froze in mid-air for two seconds before muttering a curse under his breath.

The Midnight Punisher?

Modern comics aren't drawn like this anymore!

Even the protagonist of Light Novel knows that pretty girls are more important than truth. She's just an ordinary woman in her late twenties, yet she's acting as a vigilante in the world of 'Qiuqiu'!

They're definitely trying to trick me, the "God of Dreams," into giving them my abilities!

A vigilante? If she really gains the power, given her previous vanity, love of spending money, and tendency to hang out with delinquents, she might just turn into Homelander in a few days!

He Chen was quite skeptical of Hamasaki Bemi's idea, and even less willing to give her a large amount of ability as the first task in the plan.

After all, fulfilling one person's request for enhancement isn't difficult, but what if all these protagonists in dire straits, guided by the followers of the "God of Dreams," all pray for such unrealistic things?!

So, it's best to stick to the method he had previously devised.

Just then, Hamasaki Bemi's interpersonal relationships in Japan were completely ruined, while Africa, a land in dire need of development, presented a perfect opportunity to revitalize the continent.

If Hamasaki Bemi can't find a reliable dream, then he'll just give her a system and quickly send her to Africa to be the African branch pope!

Africa, fulfilling dreams—these two words perfectly describe it. How coincidental, how fitting!

Just as He Chen was beginning to devise a more appealing description of his African trip, Shiratori Karin asked:

"Eh? Bumi-chan, how can you be a vigilante without powerful strength? That's dangerous! The gods might not just grant you that power!"

Upon hearing this question, He Chen looked over as well.

Then, I saw Hamasaki Bemi's unwavering gaze:

"Law? I've studied law in private!"

"There are 18,000 police officers in Tokyo. Those criminals are no match for the police! When I notice anything amiss, I will immediately call the police and record a video to preserve evidence!"

Ok? !

He Chen and Shiratori Karin were both stunned, but Hamasaki Bemi, having been piqued by the question, continued talking non-stop:

"I've thought about the safety issue. I'm definitely not going to be like those villains in anime, going around looking for bad guys without even knowing the place."

"I will first gather intelligence on several streets prone to problems during the day, figuring out the distribution of police stations on these streets and the location and orientation of public cameras in various places. Then, I will also go around at night to find out which shops are open at night, so that if danger occurs, I can immediately escape to a relatively safe place!"

"And I will start practicing running tomorrow, no, starting today. Only after I've mastered the speed of a 100-meter sprint and the duration of a long-distance run, and gained the ability to escape, will I begin to pursue my dream of becoming a midnight vigilante in Tokyo!"

"When the time comes, I'll search for the bad guys in this territory that I've got under my control. Once I find them, I'll immediately—oh right, I'll also buy a phone with night vision to make it easier to record evidence. Yes, once I find them, I'll immediately take pictures to preserve the evidence, and then I'll immediately interrupt them after taking the evidence!"

"If the other party runs away, I will call the police while chasing them; if the other party chases me, I will call the police while running towards the police station or the nearest shop!"

At this point, Hamasaki Bemi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands, adding:

"Yes! I can also prepare some oil or lubricant. If bad guys chase me, I can throw some of that stuff on the road as I run to slow them down! That way, I'll be much safer!"

hiss~!

After hearing Hamasaki Bemi's statement, He Chen was momentarily at a loss for whether to praise or criticize her.

Good heavens... Is this a savior of evil?

From any perspective—well, from the result's perspective—it seems like it counts?!

But surely the righteous vigilantes aren't law-abiding citizens like this?!

If all superheroes were to punish evil and protect the safety of their communities, the local police station would probably have to put up signs that read "Heroic Act" and "Exemplary Law-Abiding Resident" on their doors!
