Kanon and Rimi suddenly hugged each other: "It's finally over safely!"

The embarrassing incident was over, and after a brief celebration, Kanon felt she should comfort Gina: "Um, Gina, it's such a shame the idol recruitment didn't go well..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Gina seemed completely unconcerned. "I expected this. Success always comes with a lot of hardship~"

Gina pulled out a flyer and said, "I won't give up! Look, I've already gotten the notice for the next audition from the staff. Let's all come together next time!"

Hanon: "...Please allow me to refuse."

Ms. Rimi: "...They chose death."

Of course, Zhu Mei, Xiang, and Cai Yaxiang were always so enthusiastic, and the girls soon started chattering about the hype surrounding the next talent show.

Walking at the front of the group, with the sun-drenched streets of early summer in front of her and the cheerful voices of young girls behind her, Hanayone exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "What a wonderful time this is!"

After strolling around Akihabara for a while, Akemi ran a few steps ahead and called out to Kanon: "Hey, Kanon, it's still early. Since we're in Akihabara, why don't we see if there are any other fun activities?"

Hanon readily agreed: "Okay, you've been discussing this for so long, do you have any suggestions?"

“At first we wanted to go to a comic convention, but Ms. Rimi didn’t seem to dislike comic conventions at all, so we rejected the idea.”

Ahem, is Ms. Rimi afraid of running into someone she knows...?

"Then Gina said that there are idol group handshake events here, and she wants to go and learn from them."

"A handshake event..." Hanon had heard of these things in her previous life, but had never actually participated in one. Although she wasn't particularly interested after transmigrating, it would still be good to see it for herself: "Wow~"

Akihabara is not only a mecca for otaku culture, but also a battleground for various idol groups. In order to stand out from the crowd and be remembered, these idol groups rack their brains to come up with new and unusual ideas to stimulate the hormones of otaku.

"So I understand their motivation." Arriving at the so-called "handshake event for popular idols," Kanon was shocked: "But I really don't understand their topic!"

It turns out this is a group called Backstreet Girls, promoting their new single, which is called "The Sworn Brotherhood of Love".

Backstreet Girls consists of three seemingly cute girls, yet they created this gangster-style track. Could it be that they're playing on the contrast between their cute and unexpected personas?

"Haha, it's quite hard to understand." Zhu Mei was a little sweaty, "But it's very effective! Look at their popularity, it's so high!"

Indeed, there were quite a few fans at the scene, many of whom had a smug look on their faces. They were clearly die-hard fans of the group, or perhaps they had already progressed from being otaku and fans to being obsessed and creepy uncles.

"Hey, Hanon, Akemi, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and line up, quick, quick~"

Gina, who had already mingled with the crowd and joined the queue, was extremely interested in Japanese anime culture, even though a large part of her understanding of Japanese culture wasn't actually Japanese...

With no other choice, since they were already there, Hanon and the others followed Gina and mingled into the crowd queuing to shake hands.

The crowd was huge, and Hana patiently waited in line for a long time before she could get close to the three backstreet girls. But just as it was about to be her turn, a commotion broke out in front of her.

A middle-aged man with a sleazy appearance begins harassing Airi Yamamoto, the captain of the Backstreet Girls.

"Oh my, my dear Alice, you're squeezing so tight! Uncle's getting excited! That's great, that's great! Do you always shake hands so hard? It's so annoying!"

It seemed that Ellie really disliked this older man, so she shook his hand very tightly, which ironically evoked a certain gentlemanly feeling: "Please, a little harder~"

Yamamoto Airi looked indignant, and Kanon saw that she had already quietly raised her fist, ready to beat up this perverted man.

Kanon sighed inwardly, thinking how difficult it was to be an idol.

"Well, luckily you ran into me. Let me help you solve this."

But before Kanon could even make a move, the otaku in front of her in line stepped forward: "Hey! How did you make Airi-chan cry? I even heard you say something like 'clench tight,' you ***!"

The sleazy man, whose behavior had been exposed, completely changed his attitude when facing other men. Instead of his previous smug demeanor, he retorted fiercely, "Who are you calling a fatso? You think I won't kill you?!"

"So what if you turn your back on me? You're a weakling, do you think you're afraid of me?"

"XXXX!" the lewd man cursed, and then attacked. As it turned out, the righteous otaku fan was more like a weakling, getting punched in the face and staggering back several steps until he was right next to Hanon.

The sleazy guy was clearly experienced in fighting, and he chased after her to start another fight. However, this time, Kanon really took action.

In the chaos, the otaku who was being beaten reached out to protect his head, while Hana's fist passed through his ribs and quietly struck the perverted man in the abdomen.

Kanon's punch was incredibly powerful; the lewd man immediately clutched his stomach and collapsed, unable to fight back. Seeing him fall, the otaku who had been hit rushed over to subdue the lewd man, while letting out a heart-wrenching scream: "This bastard can't be let go! Friends, protect Airi! Aaaaaah!"

"Who's going to call the police!" "Kill that bastard!" "I'll go get the reporters and expose this pervert." The surrounding fans were also outraged, and the crisis was quickly resolved, turning into positive news of everyone working together to protect their idol.

"This is the scene from the Backstreet Girls handshake event. The man arrested as a suspected pervert is actually Tetsu Kokuroda, a wanted member of the Kokuroda-gumi yakuza organization! Next, we'll interview the fan who intervened." The reporter quickly arrived and began interviewing the person involved.

"I couldn't stand seeing Ellie trembling in fear as she was harassed by a pervert. I'll protect the Backstreet Girls!"

The male fan who "subdued" the gangster spoke candidly: "My determination intimidated my opponent. He was completely terrified. What are those scoundrels? Backstreet Girls are the best!"

Meanwhile, the true heroine, Hanon, was already preparing to leave with her companions, keeping her deeds and fame hidden.

But as Huayin reached the door, someone called out to her from behind: "Ye Huayin, did you do this?"

I've been hearing that voice a lot lately... Kanon sighed and turned around: "Aguya, aren't you the captain of some special operations team? So you're in charge of catching petty thugs?"

The person who arrived was none other than Kiyoaki Aguya. This cold-faced police officer had recently had quite a few interactions with Kanon.

“I was recently injured and couldn’t participate in the team’s operations, but justice must be served, so I came to work as a patrol officer at the grassroots level while I was recovering.”

Hanon's lips twitched. This must be what they mean by "minor injuries don't keep you from the front lines"...

"Alright, I won't disturb your patrol any longer, I'm going home now."

"Going home?" Aguya was somewhat surprised: "I thought you came to investigate for the Eagle Wind family."

What are we examining?

Akoya pointed to a building not far away: "The Kengan Tournament for the gaming industry will be held there soon."

Chapter Two and Chapter Three will be presented later.

As everyone guessed, the next chapter will feature the appearance of Haruo.

Section 39, Chapter 39: Sony Dogs No Match for Nintendo Pigs

Akihabara is a magical place. It has anime conventions, idols, talent shows, maid cafes, and Kengan tournaments.

Of course, the Kengan tournament held here is also inseparable from anime and video games. Among the 417 Kengan companies, there are always about ten companies that are related to games, and the place where they most often hold Kengan tournaments is Akihabara.

Using an excuse that she had something to do, Hanon said goodbye to her fitness buddies and, following Aguya's directions, entered a building with a "Closed" sign.

Similar to previous Kengan matches, the interior of the building was bustling with people. Some came to watch the matches, some to place bets on the outcome, and others simply to join in the fun.

However, the matches in Akihabara also have their own characteristics. Because the gaming industry has been fighting here for a long time, a separate dueling arena has been set up in the building. The space is large and has a solemn sense of ceremony.

"Oh, isn't this President Yoshitake? Long time no see." In the crowd, the sharp-eyed Hana spotted a familiar face, none other than the effeminate Yoshitake Keiro, known as the "real estate industry's young master."

Yoshitake Keiro also recognized Kanon: "Oh, it's Miss Takakaze. Did you come by yourself?"

"Hehe, I like Kengan matches, but my uncle doesn't let me watch too many, so I sneaked in today."

Yoshitake Keiro nodded: "President Takakaze doesn't usually participate in the Kengan matches. Motorbike's ranking as a company has dropped several places in recent years! But not participating in the Kengan matches has reduced a lot of grudges. President Takakaze is quite popular."

Hearing others talk about her uncle, Hanon felt embarrassed to join in, so she changed the subject and talked about fighters: "Rito from President Gibu's family is quite a good fighter!"

Sure enough, the moment Rito was mentioned, President Yoshitake immediately perked up: "Haha, that's right! In just two months, Rito has already helped me win three matches. Thanks to him, our Yoshitake Real Estate has increased its assets by over 5 billion yen!"

Hana's lips twitched again. Even though she'd been living in a wealthy family for almost half a year, she still wasn't used to the sums of money these tycoons casually uttered. Just like Wang Moulin's "small goal," it was a figure beyond the reach of ordinary people. Accustomed to the life of an ordinary person, Hana could only comfort herself inwardly: "It's in Japanese yen, Japanese yen..."

After exchanging a few polite words with President Yoshitake, the match was about to begin, but to Kanon's surprise, there seemed to be quite a lot of contestants on the field.

Not one, not two, not three... but a full six contestants took the stage.

"Hey, why are there so many people?"

Sensing Hanon's confusion, President Yoshitake patiently explained, "There are many companies in the game industry, making it one of the most competitive areas in the Kengan Tournament. Each tournament involves large sums of money, and high-level fighters gather here. Sometimes, the competition in certain projects becomes so intense that more than three companies participate, which turns it into a special type of Kengan Tournament, where fighters from each company engage in a free-for-all to see who the ultimate winner is."

"Wow, no wonder there are so many people here, it would be amazing if there was a free-for-all!" A multi-person free-for-all is very exciting, and Hana couldn't help but get excited.

However, Kanon still had a question: "Are these people really the 'high-level fighters' that President Gibu mentioned?"

Now, Kanon can glean a lot of information from the distribution and exertion of muscles. In her opinion, the poses of the six fighters below are very cool, but neither their muscle level nor their pre-battle aura makes her feel any pressure.

Of course, this is not because the players in the gaming industry are weak, but simply because Kanon's progress is too fast and she has become extremely strong.

"Hey, Hanane, you really have good taste." President Yoshitake also had high standards, similarly looking down on this group: "The one we need to observe in this competition isn't them, but the one who'll be appearing last..."

With a series of thuds, the ground began to tremble, and the atmosphere in the arena grew tense. Everyone's eyes turned toward the entrance of the arena, as if a ferocious beast was about to emerge from it.

President Yiwu may seem cunning and effeminate, but he's actually a good person. Although his eyes are fixed on the arena gate, he doesn't forget to explain to Kanon, "I heard that in a small-scale competition before, Jinten sent out an unimaginably powerful monster that unilaterally crushed its opponent. That monster has become a rising star in the gaming industry, and maybe it will shine in this competition as well..."

“Height 242 cm, weight 315 kg, one win and zero losses in Kengan matches, representative fighter of Jinten, Haruo Kono.”

"Wow, what a huge guy!" Everyone, including Kanon, had this reaction when they first saw Kono Haruo.

242 centimeters! 315 kilograms! Someone that big shouldn't even be able to move, right? Yet this enormous fat man, fatter than a pig, is the representative of Rentian, a top company in the gaming industry.

"This person is covered in fat all over his body..." Hanon couldn't figure out Kono Haruo's true strength for a moment, so she started to let her imagination run wild: "This Niten is the Nintendo of this world, I wonder if there are any representatives of Sony among the other fighters."

At this moment, the other fighters in the arena were facing Kono Haruo, who had a terrifying physique. Some were panicked, while others were dismissive.

For example, a young man dressed like Terry Bogard, the protagonist of the game "Fatal Fury," mocked, "What God of Destruction in the gaming world, what the strongest fighter in gaming history, he's just a big fat pig."

Another fighter who resembled Ryu, the protagonist of Street Fighter, chimed in, "That's right, fighting isn't just about strength; agility and skill are also very important."

Finally, there was the fighter with a hairstyle resembling Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken series. He was initially a little worried, but with encouragement from others, he mustered his courage: "Yeah, this fat guy definitely can't keep up. If we can stall this melee a little longer, we can not only outlast this fat pig, but also make others die in front of him. Brilliant!"

Then they all met with tragedy.

Kono Haruo's strength was unmatched, and his speed was as fast as lightning. When he charged forward, no one could stop him. With his first strike after the start of the match, the two fighters who were in the first place were sent flying, their fates unknown.

What's even more terrifying is that Kono Haruo's agility is also extremely high. Just when he was about to crash into the wall, he stopped abruptly, then did a backflip and leaped more than ten meters away, launching another attack. In the rush, two more fighters took off.

The last two fighters attacked in unison, but Kono Haruo once again demonstrated his superb defensive abilities. Punches and kicks struck his mountain-like broad body to no avail. Instead, Haruo defeated his last opponent with a single punch.

The match ended in less than thirty seconds.

"How tragic..." Looking at the miserable defeat of the six fighters, Hanon couldn't help but shake her head. If there really was a Sony fighter among them, then Sony fans had truly suffered a crushing defeat against Nintendo fans this time.

Kengan parodied many well-known companies, even making Disney a Japanese company...
