Yuuka took out her phone and started making a voice memo: "'When the other party turned around, he had already jumped up, braced his legs against the wall, and was high above, with a very good sense of balance...' It's a pity that I didn't see Mr. Saeba fire the gun.

"Shoot..." Ryo Saeba scratched his head. Just then, the robber who had been trampled down struggled to his feet and rushed toward the car at the end of the alley: "Then let's fire a shot."

A-Liao raised his gun to fire—but he couldn't. Before pulling the trigger, he saw a familiar figure blocking the robber's path, his shoulders and arms covered in bandages and casts. It was none other than Ye Huayin, the one he'd been arguing with for so long!

"Why is she here? And when... Sigh, this young lady, she's just making things worse!" Helpless, Ryo Saeba had no choice but to readjust his shooting angle. In less than a second, the robber had already rushed in front of Hanon.

Although he didn't know how the disabled girl in front of him had appeared, she seemed to be an acquaintance of the menacing figure behind him? Driven by malice, the robber instinctively reached out to grab Hana, preparing to use her as a hostage…

This was the robber's last thought for the day.

Yuika was still brainstorming plot ideas for her novel: "'The robbers are on the run, Mr. Saeba raises his gun, he's finally about to fire...' Wait, that's... a flying acrobat?!"

Before the gunshot rang out, Wei Xiang heard a muffled "bang," followed by the alleyway going dark. A large object flew overhead—it was the robber from before. His body weighed at least 130 or 140 pounds, yet he managed to trace such a beautiful parabola in mid-air!

This... is light-footed skill?

No, it's legwork!

Hanon raised her leg high into the air, almost a perfect split, but she didn't hold the position for long before putting it down... no, she stomped it down heavily! Her small body stomped so hard that the ground seemed to tremble, just like a sumo wrestler's legs!

With a "bang," the car that was picking up the hijackers slammed its doors shut, floored the gas pedal, and fled in panic, the smell of burning tires filling the air.

Author's Note: This is the second update for today. The third update will be around 6 PM.

Section 594, Chapter 587: What's so scary about a girls' high school!

"I remember this kind of gun."

Back at City Hunter's apartment, Yuika's older sister, Saeko Nogami, was playing with the gun that the robber had just used: "It's the type that some extreme terrorist organization often uses, modified from a model gun. Their leaders were arrested by the police at the beginning of the year, so maybe they kidnapped Yuika to hold her hostage to blackmail Dad."

Extremist groups, modified guns, hostages—things suddenly become very serious...

Who knew that grumpy old man, Nogami, was actually the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! He's a rank higher than Mayumi Watase's father, a police superintendent. Last Christmas, Kanon visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building, and Nogami's office was on the top floor, in the most central location. In other words, in all of Japan's police force, only one officer, the Police Department Chief appointed directly by the Prime Minister, is nominally higher than him, but that officer doesn't handle actual operations. He's practically the second-in-command of the Japanese police department, and the highest-ranking officer in terms of actual rank.

With that kind of background, who else would they threaten if not your family! It's no wonder that the Nogami family is a family of police elites. The third sister, Yuika, is a detective novelist, the second sister, Reika, is a detective, and the eldest sister, Saeko, is the famous "Leopard" of the Metropolitan Police Department, the pride of the criminal investigation team.

Now, the "Proud" lady is giving orders: "Knowing who the enemy is will make things easier. Next, I will investigate the location of the extremist organization's headquarters and arrest them. In the meantime, I'll leave Yuika in your protection, Ryo."

"I won't stand for it!" Ryo Saeba immediately protested, "Since you know you're being targeted, then let this girl go back to her own home! No matter how safe my protection is, it's not as secure as the Superintendent General's house, is it? And you two older sisters are there too, why should I have to do all this?"

Ryo is only interested in jobs with beautiful women, and underage girls are not within his hunting scope. Therefore, he did not do well with his clients, Hanon and Yuika.

“We all know Ryo’s abilities, so we’re very confident in him. Besides, it was Yuuka’s own idea to entrust you with this task. If she goes home with Dad, she might run away again at any time, which would be unsafe.” Saeko advised, “Rika will gradually persuade Dad. Just let Yuuka stay here.”

Before Ryo Saeba could retort, she was glared at by her partner, Aya—Aya and Yuika had already reached an agreement. They had a good relationship to begin with, and as a well-known novelist, Yuika's bodyguard fees were quite generous!

"Well, let her stay a couple more days then. Hurry up and investigate!" Ryo Saeba had no choice but to accept this reality.

Then he turned his gaze to the window: "They're all troublesome fellows..."

By the window, Yuika Nogami was pestering Kanon, saying, "Hey, hey, so Kanon, you're a martial arts expert! What a surprise!"

Not only was Yuika surprised, but everyone, including Ryo Saeba, was astonished. Although the Takakaze family had briefly mentioned that "Miss Kanon is a fighting champion," they were vague. Everyone only knew that Kanon was just playing around in the school's sports club, at most at the level of the national high school girls' tournament. Coupled with her severely injured hands, she couldn't even take care of herself, which made her seem even more delicate and weak, a sickly beauty. Who would have thought that the kick just now was so effortless, and the unlucky robber was still lying on the ground unconscious, and Saeko couldn't even ask him for a statement.

The stark contrast made Ryo Saeba very uncomfortable, but it greatly piqued the interest of the novelist Yuika, who had been asking her all sorts of questions since earlier.

"Kanon, Kanon, what style of martial arts do you practice?"

"It's a mix of judo, karate, and Chinese kung fu."

"Wow, that's amazing! So what do you think is the most important thing during a battle?"

“Every step is important, from the preparation beforehand, to adjusting your physical and mental state, to the choice of tactics and moves in the actual competition, and even the final Zanshin... none of them can be underestimated.”

"Wow, so many... I thought you'd say something like 'keep a close eye on the other person.'"

"Ah, actually, you can change moves very quickly during a fight, so there's no time to think too much. All the details are prepared in advance during the preparation phase before the fight."

"I understand~ So what is this 'lingering heart' you mentioned earlier...?"

The two continued their question-and-answer session for a long time, until everyone else left and Ah Xiang came to call everyone for dinner, which brought it to an end.

"I've made up my mind." During dinner, Yuika took the initiative to feed Hanon, which was incredibly kind of her. Of course, she had an ulterior motive: "Hanon can come to school with me tomorrow."

"Pfft—" Ryo Saeba spat out the food in his mouth: "What's going on here?"

“I attend an all-girls school, so it’s inconvenient for you to protect me closely, Ryo~ So let Kanon come with me. I can take care of her, and she can protect me. You can take care of both of us at the same time. Isn’t that wonderful? Anyway, Kanon has taken sick leave from her original school and is quite free lately. Our school also has spots for visiting students.”

Ryo Saeba wanted to argue that Kanon was injured and couldn't possibly protect Yuika, but Kanon's kick just now was just too powerful...

"Ugh, what a troublemaker." Ryo Saeba complained, but tacitly agreed to Yuika's suggestion.

Hanon, standing beside her, was speechless. Yuika hadn't even asked for her opinion yet… but she didn't really care. She was going to be stuck somewhere anyway, so going out for a walk might be good. It was a school full of underage high school girls; what might be hell for Saeba Ryo was just ordinary daily life for Hanon. What could possibly go wrong…?

“Hell…” The next day, at Yuika’s school, Kanon sighed.

"Hehe, hehehe, I should have thought of that sooner. The most likely candidate for a daughter of a prominent family in the Metropolitan Police Department attending an all-girls school in Tokyo is none other than Sumeragi..."

Indeed, Yuika Nogami studies at the Imperial Sakura Academy!

Now, in front of Kanon and Yuika are four friends: Hibiki Sakura, Ayaka Uehara, Gina Porter, and Akemi Souyuin, who are chattering away and asking questions. The focus, of course, is Kanon's injured arms.

"I was surprised that Yuika knows Kanon!"

"What's even more surprising is your arm, Kanon. What happened to it? You said you had something to do that day and left, and then we haven't heard from you since. Could it be... a car accident?"

"Recently, there's been a rumor that Yuika is staying at a guy's house, and you're with her, Kanon. Could it be... *smug*~"

"Kanon, I'm going to have my first boxing match soon, so come cheer me on if you have time~"

Hana blushed. She really didn't want to run into acquaintances in this state. She had planned to contact everyone after her cast was removed and she went to the gym for rehabilitation training. But she found out that the world is really small. She bumped into her friends so quickly, and her embarrassing state of being unable to take care of herself was on full display.

What's even more terrifying is that Yuika wasn't very familiar with the fitness girls, but suddenly she found common ground and started gossiping about how she met Kanon, from "Kanon's rich girl status" to "Kanon's unusually developed abs" to "Kanon is so cute when she's asleep," and so on. The more they talked, the more excited they became, and Kanon herself couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"Um, could you please be aware that I'm right next to you...?"

Waaah, right now the only one even worse off than Kanon is Ryo Saeba. Royal Sakura Academy Girls' High School forbids men from outside the school from entering, so this City Hunter sneaked in and has been hiding behind the bushes all morning…

"Damn it, a bunch of underage brats in a group, what's so exciting about that!" Ah Liao said helplessly, "It's so frustrating to be sneaking around like this. Sir, please just jump out already so I can relieve my boredom!"

"Click"—that's the sound of a pistol being chambered!

Ryo Saeba's eyes instantly sharpened!

Author's Note: There will be two more chapters tonight~ One daily storyline has linked to another daily storyline.

Section 595, Chapter 588: Strange Knowledge Increased

Ryo Saeba has been dealing with firearms since he was a child. He is too familiar with the sound of the mechanical pointers clashing. Even in the chaotic schoolyard, he would never miss the soft clinking of the pointers, and he would never mishear it!

When A-Liao found the source of the sound, his initial enthusiasm immediately turned into a deep sense of powerlessness.

There are no more terrorists, only a genuine perverted old man, lewdly peeping into the female high school students' locker room.

The two looked at each other: "You..."

"Pfft." The lecherous uncle suddenly laughed: "You startled me, huh? Oh, it's one of our partners~"

"Huh?" Before A-Liao could react, the perverted uncle shoved his head down: "Idiot, you're so tall and you're just standing there like an idiot, don't you think you're obvious enough? Honestly, these newbies aren't very bright. We voyeurs can't be so reckless."

"The voyeur..."

"Never seen you before, first time?" The lecherous uncle was actually quite nice, starting to share his "social experience": "Let me tell you a trick~ Right here, it's the perfect angle for peeping into the women's changing room. Be careful when taking pictures, remember to turn off the flash. By the way, where's your equipment? Are you a mobile phone user? Hehe, the art of photography, you mobile phone users will never understand..."

Ryo Saeba lay limply on the ground, not wanting to pay attention to the pervert next to him. Of course, the lecherous uncle's attention was also entirely on the high school girl, and he had no time to pay attention to him either.

“They actually called me a ‘partner’ and compared me to him…” City Hunter fell into self-doubt at this moment: “But in other people’s eyes, I’m probably no different from him. We’re both sitting outside the girls’ high school locker room… Ah, the early spring wind is so bleak. My heart is as cold as my body.”

The lecherous older man watched with great interest: "Hey, little brother, why aren't you watching? The locker room was really something today. I just saw a girl on the playground with her hands wrapped in bandages. Her looks, wow, she was like an angel descended from heaven! I hope she comes to change clothes later... Hey, you, you, what are you doing?"

"Bang! Crash—" The perverted uncle was smashed through the window and into the locker room by Ryo Saeba, leaving only the words "You... traitor..." before he passed out.

The pervert's career, no, his entire life, has come to an end. How wonderful, how wonderful!

Before lunch, Ryo Saeba met with Yuika and Kanon and told them what had happened. Yuika chuckled, "So it was you who did it! It caused quite a stir afterwards. You really did a great job!"

"Hmph, that kind of guy was just dealt with casually." Ryo Saeba was still indignant. The three of them chatted for a few more minutes before Kanon said goodbye and left.

"Hey, Miss, don't make things worse. What are you doing running around at a time like this?"

"Lunch is all I have!" Hanon said helplessly. "I met some friends and we arranged to have lunch together. They said... uh, they wanted to take care of me."

No, that's not it at all. Actually, those fitness girls thought Kanon was cute because she couldn't move her hands, and they wanted to try what it's like to "raise a real doll," so they asked Kanon to cooperate with them to experience it!

Furthermore, teachers Rimi, Mana, and Wu Yacha also arrived upon hearing the news, creating a huge uproar. Kanon couldn't refuse to come...

"Waaah, just for today, everyone can tease me all they want, I'm not going to school with Yuika tomorrow no matter what."

With a heavy heart, Kanon resignedly walked towards the rooftop—not to jump, but because the fitness girls usually ate their lunch bento boxes there.

Ryo Saeba cautioned, "Be careful, young lady. There could be thugs lurking around this campus at any time."

Kanon didn't take it seriously. A thug? Saeba Ryo was probably the most ruthless one. How easy is it to encounter a perverted lecher like that...? Huh?

"Who! Come out!" Hua Yin shouted urgently, raising her leg to sweep towards the bushes. The strong wind was like a knife, directly cutting through a patch of trees. Then, with a "bang," something exploded, and at the same time, a human head rolled out.

"A ghost!" Hana was startled, and her scream carried far. Ryo and Yuika were still eating in the grove when they suddenly saw the patrolling headmaster being attracted by the shout. Yuika quickly pushed Ryo, but unexpectedly, there was a pond behind the bushes. With a "plop," Ryo fell in and didn't dare to climb out immediately. By the time Yuika finished dealing with the headmaster, Ryo was already sneezing incessantly from the icy pond water.

As for Kanon, kicking out a head was quite astonishing, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a mannequin. Kanon was greatly surprised: "How come there are mannequins here?" Then she looked into the bushes and her expression immediately changed to "I see"—it was another familiar face, Director Kudoro Izumi from Mushi TV, who was also a regular customer of Mr. Shirogane's gym.

"I say, Mr. Churu, what are you doing here?"

"Uh, I'm planning a prank..."

"The prank plan is to scare high school girls with mannequins?"

"Yes...and now the mannequin is gone, and the camera has exploded..."

"Well, I can compensate you for the camera, but isn't your prank method a bit impractical?"
