Previously, one could only brute-force increase strength, which could put a heavy burden on the body if overused. It might even lead to a situation like last time, where several punches missed the opponent, and the level 5 physical enhancement ended up exhausting them.

He can now precisely control his power without needing to activate multiple skill enhancement levels, and he can freely control the amount of force he exerts.

As expected, relying on the genius of a novice to forcibly exploit bugs to upgrade skill levels is still not as effective as the official channels being opened directly.

However, two of them still ran away...

There was nothing he could do about it. No matter how good Kitahara Sousuke was at fighting, he was still just one person. Several of his opponents were desperately running away in different directions, and there was nothing he could do.

It's better not to chase after her. Kitahara Sosuke doesn't feel comfortable leaving Katsura Kotonoha alone here. The girl's face is pale from the fight just now, and her body is still trembling slightly.

About five minutes later, several police officers in uniform arrived with station staff and looked at the group of perverts lying on the ground with surprise.

"Are you alright? If you're bothered, you can leave now."

Kitahara Sousuke carefully put a disposable mask on the girl and himself, since there were quite a few onlookers around, and some were even secretly taking pictures with their phones.

"No, it won't..."

As Kotoha spoke, she lowered her head, nervously hugging the little calico cat in the carrier and tucking her into her arms. She was truly uncomfortable in this situation.

“Officer Takagi, everything has been investigated. These people all have criminal records at the station. The eyewitness accounts match the high school student’s account perfectly. The ‘client’ they mentioned has also been arrested, and his story is consistent with theirs.”

The police officer in the blue uniform saluted and reported to a young man in a gray-brown suit.

"Well, hard work."

Officer Takagi walked up to Kitahara Sousuke. He had already learned about what had happened from the surrounding witnesses and the station staff, so his gaze toward Kitahara Sousuke was more one of kindness and appreciation.

"Brother, you've trained before?"

Officer Takagi asked casually.

"Ah."

Kitahara Sousuke nodded; this subtle misunderstanding saved him the trouble of explaining. Then he added:

"Two other people ran away. One of them was a woman, around thirty years old, about 1.5 meters tall, with short reddish-brown hair. I couldn't see the man clearly."

Kitahara Sousuke rubbed his head and recalled, "It would be best if we could catch this group. This kind of planned and organized criminal gang has harmed countless girls over the years."

However, the ringleader named Takahashi has already been arrested, and the remaining henchmen probably won't be able to hide for long either. If the Japanese police can't even handle this final cleanup, Kitahara Sousuke really needs to re-evaluate the country's security situation.

"Thank you so much for your hard work."

Officer Takagi patted him on the shoulder with a smile. He was overjoyed at this unexpected favor and didn't even bother to investigate whether Kitahara Sosuke had been a bit too heavy-handed.

"However, according to procedure, we still hope that you and your friend will come to the police station with us. Don't worry, it's mainly to make a statement."

Kitahara Sousuke glanced at Katsura Kotonoha, who was following behind him. The girl was also looking at him with her dark eyes, indicating that she would completely follow his instructions.

"Can't I go alone? It's a little inconvenient if my friend goes."

Kitahara Sosuke knew that such things were inevitable, but in Katsura Kotonoha's case, even at the police station, a female officer had to be specifically asked to question her. If an ordinary man sat in front of her, the girl would probably stammer and not be able to give a clear answer.

"Okay."

Officer Takagi nodded. It made no difference whether there was one or two people; there were simply too many witnesses present at the scene. Asking Kitahara Sousuke to come over was just a formality.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of ten perverts had committed numerous crimes in secret over the years and were so notorious, a simple act of bravery or even just a routine questioning at the scene would have sufficed.

Kitahara Sousuke turned around and gave Katsura Kotonoha a few more words of advice, telling her to calm down and leave the rest to the police.

Like a newlywed bride, the girl nodded obediently, remembering every word Kitahara Sosuke said, and then politely declined the invitation to take a ride home in the police car.

Katsura Kotonoha stood by the roadside, watching Kitahara Sousuke get into a police car and drive away with a group of police officers. Her gaze lingered on her chest as she reluctantly looked away from the end of the street.

Only then did the girl realize that there seemed to be something in her arms that didn't belong to her.

"Meow?"

Little Sanhua suddenly peeked out through the plastic glass and called out. Her eyes met Katsura Kotonoha's, and the image of this unfamiliar black-haired woman was reflected in her pupils. Her little head was full of questions:

What about me? You promised to pick me up today!

Chapter 93 How to end things if we don't get married?

Although they were only members of a branch family of the prestigious Katsura family in Tokyo, Katsura Kotonoha's parents lived in a high-end villa that ordinary families couldn't afford.

Katsura Kotonoha's parents are often away from home working on the family business. They only come back to live with their two daughters for a short time every now and then, but they have to go away again for a month or two after that.

So usually, it's just Katsura Kotonoha and her younger sister Katsura Shin living together. However, the nanny they hire is very professional, so there's no need to worry about the two sisters' living conditions.

"I am back."

Katsura Kotonoha gently opened the security door of her house, placed the things she was carrying on the floor of the entryway, and then very carefully took the little flower out of her bag.

She had originally intended to contact Kitahara Sousuke to help the other party return the little flower, but despite sending several messages, she received no reply. He was probably busy with the police or something else.

Katsura Kotonoha thought about it for a while at the station and decided to take the cat home first and contact the other party later.

The kitten curiously poked its fluffy little head out of the cat carrier, its heterochromatic eyes curiously surveying this unfamiliar place, without immediately rushing out of the backpack.

"Sister! Welcome home!"

Katsura Shin ran out of the living room with her arms outstretched, like a gust of wind. Before she even appeared, her sweet, loli-like voice had already reached Katsura Kotonoha's ears.

"Did you buy the Baumkuchen? Oh?! Kitty!"

The little black-haired girl, shuffling in her pink bunny slippers, was about to give her older sister a hug when her eyes inadvertently met those of the peeking little calico girl, and she immediately let out a joyful cheer.

"Be careful not to get scratched by the cat."

Katsura Kotonoha stuck out a finger and poked her younger sister on the forehead. The little girl covered her forehead, puffed out her cheeks, took two steps back, glared at her older sister with dissatisfaction, and then couldn't wait to squat down and pat the little calico's head.

"No way, the cat is very well-behaved!"

As she spoke, Gui Xin proudly lifted the little chameleon up, kissed its furry face, and then hugged it tightly in her arms.

"Good kitty, are you better now?"

"Meow!"

The two communicated in a way that Katsura Kotonoha couldn't understand.

Little Sanhua is really well-behaved. When Guixin holds her in her arms, she lets Guixin knead and rub her as she pleases. At most, she only lets out a dissatisfied whimper. She never bites or shows her claws.

"Have you two known each other before?"

Katsura Kotonoha asked with some confusion. The girl was neatly placing her black leather shoes in the shoe cabinet, her waist bent into a beautiful arc, and a beautiful glimpse of absolute territory was revealed under the hem of her dress.

"Of course I know her. Xin met Maomao last week."

"Gui Xin, what did your sister teach you? Never lie, no matter what. The cat was left here by a classmate from school; you couldn't possibly know it."

Katsura Kotonoha frowned. Her younger sister's words were incoherent. How could she know Kitahara's pet?

"That's right, it's this cat."

Katsura Shin pointed the calico cat at herself, re-confirmed its features, nodded matter-of-factly, then looked at Katsura Kotonoha with some confusion:

"Huh, why is my sister with the cat? Did my older brother come along too?"

Gui Xin tilted her head and looked behind her sister, but there was no one behind her.

"Big brother?"

"The big brother is the cat's owner!"

Is the older brother Kokoro is referring to Kitahara? Katsura Kotonoha was a little confused. She had only met Kitahara Sosuke this morning, so how did Kokoro know him?

"Xin, who is this big brother you're talking about? What does he look like?"

Katsura Kotonoha's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Is the world really that small?

"Tall, thin, and handsome, and also very gentle!"

Gui Xin rattled off several characteristics that were completely useless for reference.

"Do you remember the name of the older brother you mentioned?"

Katsura Kotonoha asked casually.

“I remember! His name is… Kitahara… Oh dear, I’ve almost forgotten…”

The little girl frowned in distress, her two pretty eyebrows pressed together as she tried hard to recall the information in her mind.

"Kitahara Sousuke?"

"Yes! Kitahara Sousuke!"

Gui Xin happily echoed, lifting the cat high above her head. Then, as if remembering something, she looked at her sister and pouted, "How did you know, sister? I clearly didn't mention this."

"Kitahara-kun is a classmate of mine from the same school."

"Oh, great! Big brother and sister know each other? No, that's not right! Oh no, big brother and sister know each other! Xin promised to go to big brother's house next time she ran away from home, I'm doomed, I'll be caught and brought back..."

The little girl was initially happy, but suddenly her whole face turned dejected.

"You're still thinking about running away from home? Don't cause any more trouble for others!"

Katsura Kotonoha patted her younger sister's head with amusement. She knew very well that her sister's so-called running away from home was just taking the train to a classmate's house to play for an afternoon, and then obediently running back before dinner.

"Okay... I understand~"

Gui Xin looked miserable for a while, then took a bite of the sweet Baumkuchen and quickly put the matter out of her mind.

Before she could even swallow the cake, the little girl suddenly shouted as if she had discovered something amazing: "Boy! Sister, you're still sick, how do you know a boyfriend!"

Gui Xin knew that her older sister had a mild case of androphobia, so from childhood to adulthood, she had never heard her sister mention a boy's name. Her sister had very few female friends.

"It's a classmate..."

Katsura Kotonoha tapped her younger sister on the head again. This child was always mischievous and would suddenly say strange things.

"Your classmate isn't right either, sister. Something's not right with you. You used to be very afraid to talk to boys, so why did you seem to have a good relationship with the older brother just now?"

Gui Xin looked at her sister with a puzzled expression.
