After breakfast, Adam went out for a stroll.

He didn't disturb Sakayanagi Arisu's enjoyment of gradually mastering the world; he wanted to go out shopping and see if he could run into a few familiar characters from his past life.

If we can't bump into each other by chance, then we'll force it.

after all--

Why did I come to the world of anime and manga?

Isn't it just wanting to have more two-dimensional characters?

Chapter Thirty-Four: Masumi Kamuro disdainfully lifts her skirt

"Young master, would you like a vehicle?"

As Adam approached the villa entrance, Masumi Kamuro, who was accompanying him, asked softly, her eyes glancing furtively at the man whom Lord Sakayanagi regarded as half a body.

"Don't call me 'Young Master,' call me 'Sir.'"

"Yes, sir."

Without engaging in role-playing games, Adam didn't consider himself to be still a naive teenager, so "young master" was unsuitable, and "old master" seemed too old-fashioned; the title "sir" was just right.

"Want a ride?"

He pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

Unlike most men who are enthusiastic about luxury cars, Adam doesn't think a metal box with four wheels has much aesthetic appeal. On the contrary, he dislikes the cramped space inside the car and hates the faint smell of gasoline.

Damn it, this thing actually requires you to operate it manually.

In contrast, he prefers taking public transportation, which is spacious and bustling with people. He occasionally chooses a window seat on the city's circular bus. When there are many people, he listens to the gossip of other passengers; when there are few people, he puts on his earphones, listens to music, and enjoys the scenery outside the window, whether good or bad.

"Never mind, let's just walk."

He led the way, with the purple-haired girl beside him following closely behind, her cute side ponytail swaying in the breeze.

"Arisu seems to think highly of you, Masumi."

Hearing Adam's smiling words, Kamuro Masumi didn't know how to respond, so she just pursed her lips and remained obediently silent.

Masumi Kamuro is a character in Jitsugyo.

According to the character's description, she is a thief who likes to commit crimes in public places.

It wasn't because of poverty.

The girl named Kamuro Masumi simply enjoys the thrill of theft, the strange excitement of the possibility of being discovered.

If you don't understand, you can think of it as exposing your penis.

In the original storyline, after she enrolled in the high school, she stole beer from the school convenience store and was discovered by Sakayanagi. Sakayanagi then expressed his admiration for her skills and semi-coerced her into becoming his subordinate.

In later episodes, she was expelled from school, but she also gained a genuine friendship from Sakayanagi Arisu.

Because of this, Sakayanagi Arisu now looks at her with great favor and has even entrusted her with the important task of accompanying the original body on strolls.

"Masumi, say something, okay? It's really awkward when a man and a woman go shopping together without talking."

"Sir, please forgive me, I'm not good with words."

It's not that I'm bad at talking.

She knew she was someone who couldn't say nice things.

In the words of Sakayanagi-sama: a rare breed between tsundere and arrogant, even rarer than a giant panda.

"It doesn't matter if you're not good with words. Is there anything you want to say, or anything you want to ask?"

"What do you want to ask?"

Masumi Kamuro rotates the pig brain.

She recalled a strange order given by Sakayanagi: no questioning, no disobedience, and obedience to any of Mr. Adam's requests, including those concerning finding women.

This command is bizarre.

After struggling for a long time, Kamuro Masumi finally stammered out a sentence: "Where...where do you intend to forcibly abduct women?"

"?"

Adam's easygoing expression turned stiff.

The people of the world have waited for so many years, just waiting for someone to jump out and scold me, right?

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, I...I didn't mean that!"

Kamuro Masumi stammered, gesturing nervously, and blurted out her true feelings: "What I mean is, what I mean is, if the other party really doesn't want to, we can spend some money, just a little bit, anyway, we're not short of money at home, are we?"

"..."

"I'm sorry, sir, I really don't know how to speak."

In the awkward atmosphere, the girl, who was almost in tears, resigned herself to her fate and pulled Adam into a nearby alley.

With tears in her eyes, she shakily lifted her skirt.

It's a deep purple, the opposite of its cool and aloof nature; it's very passionate.

At the same time, she forced herself to put on a disgusted expression.

"Yo?"

Adam squatted down to take a closer look, even pinching her vibrant thigh, and chuckled, "Ms. Masumi, what do you mean by this?"

She confessed honestly: "If I did something wrong in front of you, doing this will make you feel better quickly."

"Did Arisu teach you that again?"

"No, it's not Lord Sakayanagi, it's Rurikawa."

Rurikawa Tsubaki, one of Sakayanagi Arisu's personal maids, ranks in the top three in the niche moe element of "disdainfully lifting her skirt to show you her panties," and because of this, she is often harassed by Adam.

It is said that her two favorite sayings are:

Yes, Miss.

【No... sir.】

"Well, she's a pretty good teacher."

Adam couldn't help but move a little closer and mischievously blew a puff of cold air into his mouth.

"Eaaah!!"

A girl's lovely, mournful cry echoed from the depths of the alley.

……

It took a while.

There's no way around it; some things in this world are like iron railings in the dead of winter in Northeast China—once your tongue sticks out, it's hard to pull it back.

After the blush-inducing little incident, Kamuro Masumi continued to follow closely behind, sometimes looking down in self-pity, sometimes glancing up at the figure in front of her, angry but unable to speak out, her eyes almost dripping with moisture.

What does it mean to "eat seafood through a thin veil"?

That perverted bastard!

Adam ignored her and continued to leisurely stroll the streets.

If you were to ask what the difference is between the everyday anime/manga world and the jujutsu world, it would probably be that, apart from the absence of hideous cursed spirits, the average appearance of people in this world is also generally higher.

No, it's much higher.

"Alas?"

Kamuro Masumi nearly bumped into his back, somewhat puzzled: "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

Adam saw something unexpected.

"Was this a chance encounter? It must be a little gift that Arisu deliberately prepared for me, otherwise the timing wouldn't match up."

"where?"

Masumi followed his gaze and saw a group of people gathered in front of a convenience store at the intersection ahead, watching the commotion.

"I heard he stole something and his parents forced him to kneel down."

Upon hearing the whispers of passersby, Masumi Kamuro thought she had been caught in the act. She was startled before realizing that she had encountered a fellow professional. Unfortunately, this professional was not caught in the act, but was instead punished by his parents.

"What a lovely girl, how did she catch this disease?"

It was a small matter. A few days ago, a girl stole a hair clip from a convenience store. When her mother found out, she made her return the hair clip and forced her to kneel down and apologize in public.

Masumi looked down.

A pink-haired girl of similar age was bowing respectfully to the person who was presumably the convenience store manager, under her mother's stern reprimand.

The pink-haired girl's movements were stiff and mechanical.

That face, which used to be so cute and warm when it smiled, was now filled with a numb expression, and its eyes were lifeless.

Perhaps out of sympathy for those in the same profession, or perhaps because she saw herself in the same situation, Masumi Kamuro's face turned extremely ugly, and she couldn't help but feel anger rising in her heart towards her mother.

However, upon seeing the middle-aged woman's graying temples and prominent crow's feet, and upon seeing her stern expression, barely concealing her illness and desolation, all his anger vanished.

"very angry?"

Adam, who was beside him, asked softly.

"I'm a little angry, but it's not like I can't understand it... huh?"

Masumi Kamuro replied with half a sentence before realizing that Adam wasn't asking her at all.

He stood in front of the girl named Ichinose Honami in full view of everyone, and even found a chair to sit down.

"very angry?"

He reached out and opened his hand; two bottles of chewing gum in the convenience store each popped out a candy.

One is red, and one is blue.

And everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to his actions.

It was only then that Masumi Kamuro noticed that, apart from the three of them, everyone else's movements had frozen.

The world fell silent.

Time has stood still.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Giving You a Chance to Choose Again

The noisy world has fallen silent.

A flicker of doubt flashed in Ichinose Honami's lifeless eyes.

What happened to her wasn't a big deal.

My younger sister had wanted a hair clip for a long time, but she couldn't afford it because of our family's financial difficulties. Although my mother promised to buy it for her on her birthday, she was hospitalized due to overwork. The cost of the short hospital stay shattered my sister's little wish, causing her to lose control of her emotions and have a big fight with her mother. Caught in the middle, Ichinose Honami was exhausted and came up with the idea of ​​"stealing the hair clip".

The theft went smoothly, and the younger sister was very happy to get the hair clip, but the incident was discovered by her mother not long afterward.

Honami Ichinose was severely reprimanded and dragged here by her mother to return the hair clip. In front of everyone, she was forced to bow and apologize.

In short: poverty brings a hundred sorrows to a poor family.

If Ichinose Honami looks back on this matter five or ten years from now, she will probably smile with relief. After all, by then, she will definitely be a mature adult with higher aspirations, and a reliable adult who has compromised with the monster of "life".

However, she is still just a teenage girl about to enter high school.

Like a delicate flower bud just beginning to bloom, even though her impoverished single-parent family environment made her more mature and resilient than her peers, she still couldn't withstand too much hardship, nor could she bear being pointed at and judged by so many people.

This is a devastating blow to a child's self-esteem and sense of shame.

She was surrounded by a noisy quagmire of cold stares and whispers, and she had no way to escape, so she could only use numbness to escape.

Until someone sat down in front of him.
