Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

The girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked back and forth among the shelves full of goods, but she still did not let her guard down, and kept staring at the sleeping clerk with her peripheral vision.

As smart as she is.

Obviously, it is not difficult to tell from the girl's skillful movements that she is a veteran.

She walked carefully to the drugstore area, and then, at lightning speed, she secretly stuffed a few items into her sweatshirt, and then fastened the belt of her jeans tightly so that they would not fall out easily.

Feeling her whole body filled up, the girl breathed a sigh of relief again.

Finally, it’s done.

If there was no other way, she wouldn't want to do it.

All the money she earned was forced to be handed over to that vicious scumbag.

Even if there was some left, I bought snacks for my poor brother and bought myself...medicine.

There is no extra money to spend.

So, I'm sorry, little brother.

The girl prayed silently for the clerk in her heart.

Now, all I have to do is buy a bottle of cheap Coke and I can pretend nothing happened and leave the convenience store with a swagger.

Even if the store owner later discovered that the goods were missing and rewound the videotape, he would not suspect her.

Everything is perfect!

The girl thought to herself while acting according to the plan.

"Bill, please."

Xiu Xing looked helplessly at the frame of the girl's head in front of him who was wearing a loose black sweatshirt and tight ripped jeans, and fell into deep thought.

[It is a shameful act to gain something without working for it. As a gentleman in Kyoto, you will never sit idly by when encountering such a thing, so you choose...]

[Option 1: Call the police]

[As a gentleman in Kyoto, you know that only the law can determine the punishment for a crime. When faced with illegal behavior, you will not deal with it privately, but choose to call the police and use the weapon of law to protect your own legal rights. (Wisdom +1) (Skill: Legal Collection - Entry)]

[Option 2: Resolve privately]

[Perhaps calling the police won't teach this habitual criminal a lesson. As a gentleman in Kyoto, you will choose another way to leave a deep memory for this thief, so that she will never dare to steal again. (Endurance +1) (Speed ​​+1) (Eloquence +1) Points +50]

[Option 3: Threaten blackmail]

[German jurist Feuerbach once wrote in a textbook: No crime without a clear legal provision, no punishment without a clear legal provision. You, who are well-informed, know that calling the police and handling it privately cannot solve the core of the problem. Facing the core problem, threatening and blackmailing the other party, making the other party afraid to act rashly, and thus turning over a new leaf, is what a gentleman in Kyoto should do. (Eloquence +1) (Emotional Intelligence +1) (Skill: Mind Reading) Experience Card, Points +50]

Before making the final choice, Xiuxing turned on the detector again.

[Ding! New characters have been included in the detector]

【Character: Arisa Kuroda】

[Where the fireworks have not yet shone, there are also smiling faces looking up. Life is so heavy, looking up is beautiful in itself. ]

[Age: 18 years old]

[Hobbies: part-time job, cooking, gardening]

[Favorability: 0+10 (friendly)]

[Reminder: The quick-witted girl seems to have discovered the turn of events. Threatening her may make her lower her noble head.]

Looking back at the three options in the box from the information given by the detector, Xiuxing still didn't know what to choose.

As time passed, the numbers on the countdown on the panel jumped rapidly...

[Target person Arisa Kuroda's favorability -10]

[The relationship between the target person, Kuroda Arisa, has changed from friendly to neutral]

[Target person Arisa Kuroda's favorability -10]

[Target person Arisa Kuroda's favorability -20]

[The relationship between the target person, Kuroda Arisa, has changed from neutral to hostile]

Chapter 10 The Right Threat

He shook his head, trying to use his clear mind to make the most rational analysis.

First of all, option one of calling the police was once again thrown into the trash by him.

From the perspective of the operator, calling the police directly is not a good option. Not only will it take up his time to go to the police station to record a statement, but he may also be retaliated against for his behavior.

Except in a few rare cases, this behavior has absolutely no benefit, so he rules it out first.

Let’s look at option two.

Settle it in private.

Looking at this description, why does he always feel that this option is a little bit improper?

Could it be that his way of leaving a lasting memory in the thief was...?

At this moment, he thought of many plots.

No, no, no, he is a kind gentleman from Kyoto and would never do that.

The third option is to threaten.

How to threaten her? What's the point of threatening her?

At the same time, the word "threat" appeared in the prompt inside the detector, combined with the girl's personal information.

Just as the countdown was about to end and the girl's patience was about to run out, Hideyuki made a choice.

"Hey! Are you sleep deaf? I said I want to pay the bill!"

The girl shouted at Hideyuki in front of her in a timid manner.

She understood that the boy in front of her must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have stared at her hesitantly for so long.

After all, people would only look at girls like her with disgust.

But, it's also very strange.

She clearly saw that the boy was sleeping just now, so how did he notice her behavior?

Could it be that I disclosed something wrong?

wrong.

The girl suddenly realized that she couldn't look down at this time, as it would expose herself further.

The correct approach is to pretend to be angry, dispel the doubts of the person in front of you, and make him dare not raise questions.

Yes, just do it like you did a few times before.

Thinking of this, Kuroda Arisa added: "If you don't check out quickly, I'll find your store manager and complain to you!"

Correct.

That's the tone.

Very good, Arisa Kuroda, you did a great job.

The man in front of me should be scared.

However, she was horrified to discover.

The handsome boy in front of her showed a sunny smile and said something extremely vulgar, shameless and disgusting in a kind tone: "Ms. Arisa Kuroda, you don't want the police to know about your theft, do you?"

When the boy in front of her called out her name, Arisa Kuroda knew that she would never be able to escape.

However, the boy did not call the police directly, so there is room for maneuver.

But, it seems that I have no money.

Let’s deal with it first.

"Okay, I admit defeat. I'll put the things back now."

Under Hideyuki's gaze from a distance, Arisa Kuroda reluctantly put the items in her clothes back to their original places, but she was careful and left one or two small items in her private parts.

As long as the boy didn't search her, she could just take her things and run away without returning empty-handed.

With this thought in mind, Arisa Kuroda walked back to the front desk.

"How about it, is it okay now?" After saying that, Kuroda Arisa walked towards the door.

Don't call me.

Don't call me.

Arisa Kuroda prayed silently in her heart.

"Don't leave."

Contrary to her expectations, Xiu Xing called her.

"Why are you calling me? I put everything back."

Hideyuki didn't realize that the girl didn't put all the things back, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

What he has to do is...

"Ms. Kuroda Arisa, if a thief is caught and the bag is returned, then there is nothing wrong with it. Then what is the role of the police?"

Watanabe Hideyuki still had that smiling expression on his face, but when Kuroda Arisa saw his disgusting expression, she felt like vomiting.

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Kuroda Arisa asked disdainfully, "How much money do you want? Tell me a number."

It doesn't matter how much you say.

She couldn't take it out anyway.

I don't have money, and I don't give you my life either.

"Well... I don't want money..." Watanabe Hideyuki shook his head and pointed to the room in front of him, "Please come with me to the staff lounge."

"What are you going to do?" Kuroda Arisa looked at Hideyuki with a look of rubbish, and then said in a condescending tone: "You are young, but you have some wild ideas. I will go with you. I want to see if you dare."

After saying that, she strode towards the staff lounge so fast that Xiuxing could only follow behind her.
