Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

He even knew which part of the wooden knife to use to catch it, which part to use to block it, and which part to use to knock it away.

With a flick of his wrist, Uesugi Kai used his wooden sword to deflect two flying sticks with millimeter-level precision.

Then, he calmly tilted his head, letting the last steel baton whistle past his ear and fall into the grass in the distance.

The thugs who rushed up witnessed a scene they had never seen before in their lives.

This is bizarre! Absolutely bizarre!

They were even willing to believe they were playing grunts in a movie.

Kai Uesugi's expression remained unchanged. He took a slight step back, swung his wooden sword down with both hands, and slammed it down on the bald man in front of him with a "Duang".

The bald man frowned, wincing in pain as he closed his eyes.

Then, as he tried to protect his head, they quickly struck his neck.

His robust body suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Turn to the side and tap or strike.

Another one has fallen.

Slapping hands, slapping faces, splitting necks.

Pour one over.

Turning our gaze to the other side, we saw Uncle Sakakibara pinned to the ground by several guys, piled up like a human mountain, his face flushed as he cried out:

"Damn it! If you're so tough, let's have a one-on-one fight! One-on-two or even one-on-three is fine too!! Seven of you against one, who can beat you?!"

"Shut up!"

"If you yell again, I'll slap your face!"

"Get out of my way, you damn dog! You bit my leg!"

Ah Chai was biting hard at the trouser leg of one of the guys in the crowd and pulling it with all his might.

Kai Uesugi gripped his wooden sword, glanced at Uchida, who was dragging his boss away at his doorstep, trying to escape, then at Hanabi Hanabi peeking through the crack in the inner room door, and headed towards the older man, facing the distant sound of police sirens.

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

Matsuyama Nishi Police Station Katsuoka Town Police Station.

Detective Gen opened the door and served Uesugi Kai a bowl of hot pork cutlet rice.

He placed his hands on the oak desk in the medium-sized interrogation room and let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Uesugi Kai, on the other hand, ate his pork cutlet rice at a leisurely pace. To be honest, he was extremely hungry.

Detective Xuan wasn't in a hurry. According to his subordinates' description, it seemed that the boy had beaten up all the members of the Sanfeng Society.

But is such a thing... even possible?

The dignified leader of the Dark Gold Organization, Hirabayashi-kun, a guy whose face was full of ferocity, was actually taken down by a high school student who looked harmless.

Uesugi Kai placed his chopsticks on the pork chop in his bowl, glanced at the handsome policeman, and then said while eating:

"Didn't the officer already take a statement? I think I can leave now."

Detective Xuan laughed and grinned, saying, "Of course I'm listening to the truth."

"..."

Uesugi Kai didn't look at him, but simply put down his chopsticks and said, "When all other possibilities have been eliminated and only one remains, no matter how impossible it may seem, that is the truth."

"I'm sure the officer has already asked many people, right?"

As a detective, Amamiya Gen'i certainly knew the origin of this quote. It was clearly his idol whom he had admired since childhood, yet he never expected that a high school student would use it to criticize him.

Detective Gen smiled and said, "Uesugi-san, you seem to have some complaints about us."

"Of course I'm dissatisfied."

Kai Uesugi bluntly stated, "The police always show up only after the fact. Isn't that just a sign of incompetence? Now they've dragged me, the victim, into this all afternoon to give a statement. It's such a waste of my time."

Gen smiled at Detective Gen's dissatisfaction: "I can understand Uesugi-san's anxiety, but you have to understand that from the time we called the police to the time we arrived, we did our best and got there in less than 7 minutes."

"It's only a 5-minute drive from here to my house, right?"

“Uesugi-san, the work to be done when responding to an emergency call is more than you think. Because the call was short, we only heard some vague fragments of information. It seems that those guys from Sanbyosha confiscated your family’s cell phones.”

"Our ability to get to your house immediately is based on our experience."

Kai Uesugi: "No matter how hard you try, officer, without me, those guys would have flown away long ago. The fact is, you're incompetent."

Detective Xuan felt that this high school student seemed to have a lot of prejudice against them, so he changed the subject:

"Uesugi-san, are you sure... you took care of all those guys? Not that old man with the Shiba Inu?"

Kai Uesugi glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "If you don't believe me, Officer, you can come to my house tomorrow and try it out. I don't like to hide things."

Amamiya Genichi recalled the group of guys wearing bracelets and chattering about the supernatural.

"Never mind, let me tell you about your family situation."

Kai Uesugi: "I know, they're alright."

Detective Gen ignored his interruption and continued, "The cause of this matter lies with your uncle, Uesugi Jiro."

"I know, he owes 5000 million."

“There’s no 50 million.” Detective Xuan shook his head. “There’s only 5 million. It’s been rolled over 50% in ten days. According to our current understanding, he paid off that part of the loan himself, but the Sanfeng Society tampered with the loan when they borrowed the money.”

"We haven't figured out the exact amount yet, but we roughly know the principle behind it, for example."

Detective Xuan held up three fingers.

“上杉次郎借了3万，但借条上写的是5万，这里多出的2万，1万5千是预支的利息和5千元的手续费。

"Uesugi Jiro said that he had been drinking that day and only remembered borrowing 3 yen. More than a month later, he couldn't pay it back, so he shamelessly asked his daughter for more than 60 yen to pay off the debt. But after paying off the 60 yen, he still had debts to settle in Sanfengsha, which have snowballed to the current 500 million yen."

"Until 10 days ago, Uesugi Jiro learned that he had inexplicably owed 500 million yen, and he quit, so he called the police for help."

Detective Xuan smiled.

"The Sanfeng organization, a dark money organization, is exactly what we are investigating. They have been forced to change their address several times and are no longer able to focus on collecting debts. They are preparing to give up on this place."

"The reason for today's incident is that I wanted to take revenge on Uesugi Jiro before leaving, so I went to the Uesugi family to rob them under the pretense of collecting debts."

"What's the deal with the 5000 million?" Uesugi Kai asked.

"That 5000 million was spread by the Sanbōsha, and the reason was probably to intimidate Uesugi Jiro,"

He didn't scare his uncle, but he did scare his cousin.

----------

After giving my statement, it was already 10 p.m.

Even when he was writing it, Detective Xuan treated it like a novel.

Hmm... A high school student single-handedly defeated more than a dozen people from the Sanfeng Society.

Hanabi Hanabi, along with her mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, sat on the sofa in the police station's living room, waiting.

She was still terrified when more than a dozen scary people suddenly burst into her house, especially since Uesugi Kai wasn't home at the time...

"Kai-kun..." Hanabi Hanamaru was the first to see Uesugi Kai walk out of the room where he was taking notes, and she quickly stood up.

Kai Uesugi nodded to her.

"Are you alright?" Noriko Uesugi asked.

"I think she's alright." Mrs. Hanamaru smiled kindly.

“It’s nothing,” Uesugi Kai said. “It was just a simple statement taking. They just needed time to understand it, which is why they came out so late.”

"Where are Uncle and Sister tide? Haven't they come out yet?"

Grandma Uesugi shook her head. "They left a little earlier than you, Kai, but Jiro has always been unwilling to face us, so he left early. Shio went after him."

"I also called and told the old man and Yunzi not to come back."

Kai Uesugi knew that his grandfather was extremely worried about this, so he quickly put down what he was doing and drove back from Matsuyama City.

But the old lady made a phone call halfway through, and sent him back.

"We really owe it all to Kai-chan today," said Mrs. Uesugi with a smile, "but it's a bit of an exaggeration."

"It's alright." Uesugi Kai was looking for the man, but apart from the police on the night shift, the only noticeable thing was the light from the vending machine outside the glass door.

Mrs. Hanamaru placed her hands on Hanabi Hanabi's shoulders, pushed her in front of Uesugi Kai, and said with a smile:

"Kai, Hanabi-chan was so worried when she saw you standing at the door, she kept telling you to hurry up and come here."

"Yes, I know." Uesugi Kai looked at Hanabi Hanabu, who was staring at his face. She seemed to have a lot to say to him.

Noriko Uesugi sighed softly and said, "To be honest, those people are really scary."

The old lady Uesugi nodded slightly to them and said, "It's my fault for causing you trouble. You came here to relax and enjoy yourselves, but this happened."

This is the host's apology to the guest. Mrs. Uesugi is a very polite elderly woman, and she is never stingy with her apologies for what happened in her own home.

Mrs. Hanamaru was very reassured and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, as long as everyone is safe."

"Kai...Kai-kun." Hanabi Hanamaru pressed her fingers together on her front legs and quickly called out while her elders were chatting.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Kai gave her his best smile. Before going home, his biggest worry was this girl who seemed so delicate in everything she did.

"Thanks......"

"Isn't protecting Hanabi our duty?" Uesugi Kai said with a smile. "And where did that old man go?"

###Chapter 215 A Quiet... Yet Warm Rainy Night###

At 1:45 a.m., rain began to knock on the doors and windows.

"Kai-kun...it's raining outside."

"Are you cold? I'll go get you a blanket."

"No...no, I just have some trouble sleeping..."
