With a cry of pain, the blond-haired man staggered and fell into the arms of his underlings behind him.
Without pausing, Yatohime kicked the other three henchmen who were still trying to act tough several more times, and shouted sharply, "Get lost!"
The three henchmen scrambled to their feet and helped their boss up, then fled the arcade in a disheveled state, not daring to look back.
Yato-hime then turned around and found that Hoshino Saori and Imai Touko were looking at her with an almost worshipful gaze.
"Boss! You're amazing! I'll follow you from now on!"
Fuyuko Imai excitedly stepped forward.
Yato-hime rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "I never take on underlings."
"Hey! Got it!"
Fuyuko Imai nodded immediately, but the excitement and admiration on her face did not diminish in the slightest.
Hoshino Saori's eyes lit up, and she suggested, "Since we're already here, why don't we invite Azawa in to play together?"
"Ah."
Yato-hime nodded.
Saori Hoshino immediately took out her phone and sent a message in the philosophy club's chat group.
……
Ding dong.
Qingze, who was pretending to look at the street scene near the arcade, felt his phone vibrate and took it out to look at it.
He didn't go in immediately, but instead turned his gaze to the direction in which the four thugs had fled.
The blond-haired leader was clutching his stomach, grimacing as he pulled out his phone, seemingly preparing to call for backup.
With a thought, Qingze stepped forward, his perception field quietly unfolding, clearly capturing their conversation.
"Serizawa, boss! Our arcade was robbed by a woman, and she even hit us!"
They threatened to raze Linglan to the ground if we dared to cross their boundaries again, and they even called you short-legged!
"What?! Which bastard is so arrogant?!"
An angry male voice came from the other end of the phone.
The blond-haired man quickly introduced himself: "She said her name is Yatohime! She said if you're not satisfied, you can go to Nagato High School to find her."
An eerie silence suddenly fell over the other end of the phone.
Several seconds passed before Serizawa Masao's incredulous voice came through: "You guys can actually call me?!"
He subconsciously touched his chest.
Those unbearable memories from junior high school instantly flooded my mind.
The girl swept in like a storm, beating up anyone she didn't like, whether they were teachers, students, or even so-called delinquents.
He spent half a year lying in a hospital bed that time.
Even now, thinking back on it, my ribs still seem to ache faintly.
"We don't want that arcade anymore."
Serizawa Masao's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Remember this from now on, you are absolutely not allowed to go near the vicinity of Nagato High School!"
"Boss, is that woman really that scary?"
"She's scarier than a ghost!"
Serizawa's resolute answer instantly extinguished the last spark of revenge in the blond-haired man's heart.
Huang Mao hung up the phone dejectedly and slunk away with his henchmen.
Hearing this, Qingze was certain that no further trouble would come their way, and then leisurely walked into the noisy arcade.
Chapter 112 Aze, no!
Saori Hoshino bought an absurd amount of game coins, filling the pockets of her school uniform jacket to the brim.
When she saw Qingze walk into the arcade, she immediately waved her "flower arm" covered in floral patterns excitedly and announced with great pride, "Aze!"
All your expenses at the arcade today are on me! Play with confidence!
After saying that, she slightly raised her chin, her face full of expectant look, as if she wanted to hear "Praise me!"
Seeing her like this, Qingze couldn't help but smile and said in a cooperative tone, "Then I really have to thank Miss Hoshino for her generosity."
"Hehe~"
Saori Hoshino immediately beamed with pride, her smugness evident in her expression.
Imai Fuyuko also stepped forward and bowed to Aozawa, saying, "Teacher, if you hadn't asked me to stay this time, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to ask Sister Yato for help. Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome," Qingze replied gently. "The Philosophy Club exists to help students solve their problems. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to us anytime."
Fuyuko Imai nodded vigorously.
At the same time, the blue tag of "Ranger" above her head flashed and quickly merged into a beam of blue light, which entered Qingze's brow.
A familiar sense of power growing within me.
This feeling, no matter how many times you experience it, is incredibly pleasant.
Qingze sighed silently in his heart.
Imai Fuyuko straightened up and said, "Well... Teacher, Big Sister, my friends are still waiting for me over there. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye."
Yato-hime waved her hand casually.
Fuyuko Imai turned and ran toward her three friends who had been waiting for her not far away, her figure quickly disappearing into the noisy crowd in the arcade.
Hoshino Saori eagerly pointed to the machine next to her and said, "Teacher, let's play a fighting game first, and I'll show you the strength of the Fighting King!"
"no problem."
Qingze readily accepts good advice.
……
The two chose a classic fighting game called "The King of Fighters".
Qingze hasn't played this game in a long time, and only vaguely remembers a few iconic characters.
For example, I've completely forgotten the skills and combos of Orochi, Kyo Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami.
However, Saori Hoshino is not the "fighting queen" she boasts about.
This was her first time experiencing this game, and in fact, today was the first time in her life she had ever formally entered an arcade.
For a long time, she didn't have any friends to come to such places with.
Thus began a classic "chicken fight" scenario.
Although their skills were still developing, neither of them lost out in terms of sheer presence.
Saori Hoshino frantically pounded on the buttons, chanting, "Take this! Take this! Take this!"
When she realized that the character she was controlling was on the verge of death, she immediately changed tactics and begged for mercy in a soft, tearful voice: "Aze! No!"
Stop hitting him! He'll die if you keep hitting him!
Waaah... Please let me go this time!
Qingze thought to himself that it was just a game and there was no need to take it too seriously, so he held back and deliberately showed a weakness.
"KO!"
Hoshino Saori seized the opportunity and turned the tables, defeating Kusanagi Kyo, who was being controlled by Aozawa.
She instantly perked up, spread her hands, and said in an extremely irritating tone, "Aze~ You can't do this either~"
Qingze's lips twitched slightly as he reminded her, "Who was it that was begging for mercy just now?"
"That's called strategic weakness! All's fair in war, don't you understand?"
Hoshino Saori defended herself without batting an eye, even putting on a worried expression, "You believe girls so easily, I'm really worried that you'll be swindled out of all your money by bad women in the future."
Qingze's fists clenched, and he said with a forced smile, "Is that so? Then let's play another round."
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"
Hoshino Saori held her head high, feeling that she had grasped the "essence" of the game and that she would never need to beg for mercy again.
……
However, the reality is cruel.
Before long, the battle situation on the game console screen once again showed a one-sided trend.
As Hoshino Saori watched her character's health bar plummet, the familiar pleading voice rang out again: "Aze! No! I was wrong just now!"
"Waaah...please stop hitting me, I really can't take it anymore!"
"Hmph, now you know to beg for mercy? Too late! Even if you call me 'daddy' today, it won't do you any good!"
Qingze responded "coldly," while his subordinates continued their work.
He doesn't actually care about winning or losing the game, but he can't tolerate someone using "despicable" begging tactics to win and then smugly attacking him.
He decided he had to teach this "little liar" a lesson he couldn't forget.
Seeing that her pleading tactic had failed, Hoshino Saori immediately resorted to an underhanded trick, pleading with Yato-hime beside her for help: "Quick! Scratch him for me!!"
Upon hearing this, Yatohime rolled her eyes, not wanting to participate in this kind of "cheating" behavior.
Qingze quickly spoke up to stop her, saying, "Don't listen to her nonsense!"
His slightly nervous reaction only aroused Yatohime's mischievous nature.
A mischievous smile appeared on her face. She made a scratching motion with her hands and slowly approached Qingze, saying, "Oh? Aze, you seem really afraid of being tickled~"
Now I'm actually a little interested.
As she spoke, her hand reached for Qingze's waist.
