Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

In the end, the only sounds around them were the "thump thump" and "dong dong" of their footsteps.

Chapter 17 Freedom of Action

Only when he saw Arisa Kuroda walk into the dilapidated two-story wooden house on the street did Hideyuki feel relieved.

He was in a state of fear all the way.

After all, the system gave him a fighting skill in the options, so he thought he would encounter some sudden trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

very nice.

It's already so late.

Why not go to Shijo Kawaramachi?

To the east of Shijo Kawaramachi is Gion Hanami-koji, where you can look for geishas.

Maybe he can improve his attributes there.

Thinking of this, Xiuxing turned around and opened the character panel.

[Title: Warm-hearted (already worn)]

"You're back so late again? Where have you been?"

"Where is the money when you go out to work? Where is the money hidden?"

"You're not going to use the money to maintain a gigolo, are you? He's just like your mother's cousin."

"If you don't have money, go out and sell it."

Suddenly, a man's rough insults came from the wooden house behind him, followed by the crackling sound of bottles breaking, crisp and messy, accompanied by the dull and heart-pounding sound of fists hitting flesh.

Xiuxing turned around and carefully identified the source of the sound.

That's right, it was the sound from the house that Kuroda Arisa just entered.

really.

While he was at work, he inadvertently noticed large scars and bruises on the girl's hands and body.

Some have turned purple to black, while others are merely bruised and swollen, and it is obvious that these wounds have been newly inflicted in the past two days.

He originally thought that it was just a fun trick played between a girl and her boyfriend. In this big city with diverse species and neon lights, such tricks are not uncommon.

So, he didn't care much.

Moreover, it was just domestic violence. As an outsider, what identity and qualifications did he have to interfere in other people's family affairs?

Xiu Xing fell into deep thought.

However, since he encountered this incident, he absolutely could not let it go.

Otherwise, your conscience will be damaged and you will have nightmares at night.

[Faced with brutal domestic violence, as a gentleman in Kyoto, you certainly won’t sit idly by. You choose...]

[Option 1: Free Action]

[“When the law loses its restraint, violence is the only criterion for maintaining justice and fairness.” I know what you are thinking, do what you want to do most at this moment. (Status: Weakness BUFF, effective after 12 hours, lasts for 3 days)]

[Option 2: Call the police]

[According to the Japanese Constitution, Criminal Law, and Domestic Violence Prevention Law, the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department's Personal Safety Countermeasures Team is on call 24 hours a day. However, as a gentleman in Kyoto, do you really want to call the police at this moment? (Skill: Legal Collection - Normal)]

This time, the system only gives two options.

One of them is actually free play, which means that he has more room to maneuver.

Do you want to call the police?

Xiu Xing looked at the hint in option 2 and hesitated.

Due to Japan's cultural heritage of male superiority and female inferiority and the oppressive social atmosphere, domestic violence was common in recent years.

Even if you call the police, the Japanese police will not be able to take action smoothly because they think "this is a family matter", and their attitude is more like inaction.

It was not until after the millennium that Japan enacted the Domestic Violence Prevention Law, which initially curbed the occurrence of this situation.

With the progress of society, domestic violence prevention and control laws and the corresponding police response mechanisms have become increasingly perfect.

The general process is as follows.

After calling the police, the local police will come to your door as quickly as possible and hand the victim (hereinafter referred to as Ms. A) a notice titled "To You Who Have Been Visited by the Police."

It clearly states the dangers of domestic violence and its impact on the body and mind, children, family, relatives, colleagues, etc.

At the same time, violence is divided into three stages: "violent outbreak period", "emotional accumulation period" and "honeymoon period".

Request for resolution and assistance to the victims.

After the victim calms down, she will be given a "Victim Declaration Form".

It requires you to fill in basic information such as the time and place of the domestic violence, as well as inquiries such as whether you need help with moving and legal aid.

Then, based on the victim’s evidence, the police will immediately arrest the domestic abuser and initiate the corresponding criminal process.

However, according to a survey by NHK, only 8.7% of domestic violence victims in Japan chose to break up with their partners after being abused. 39.2% thought about breaking up but did not do so in the end, and 42.2% did not even consider breaking up.

What Xiuxing was thinking about was whether arresting the person who beat the girl would have an impact on the girl's family.

In other words, does the girl really want the man to be arrested?

Hideyuki had no idea about Arisa's family background, and he didn't want to make such an irresponsible decision on behalf of the girl. Such a hasty decision might not bring gratitude from the girl, but resentment.

Thinking of this, Xiuxing made a decision and walked straight towards the wooden house.

...

That's it again.

Arisa Kuroda collapsed to the ground powerlessly like a puppet without a spring. She had long been accustomed to such a life.

Haha, the dull sound of the fist landing on her was even the same as the drumbeat of 404.

She thought so dully, without any intention at all.

At this moment, she was like an outsider, watching her body being devastated, while her soul had long since left her body, looking down from a high place, watching this absurd and humorous scene.

How long will this kind of life last?

She doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know.

The drunken man in front of him seemed to have noticed the coldness in the girl's eyes at the moment.

No, he seemed to see contempt.

How can it be repaired? !

He just wanted to see the girl crawling at his feet, crying and moaning.

Begging him not to hit her anymore, just like the woman before.

But now the girl's behavior is undoubtedly challenging his remaining dignity and undoubtedly touching his reverse scale.

Are you getting old?

He is still young!

Thinking of this, the man increased the weight of his fists, accumulated strength, and exploded, all in one go, as smooth as flowing water, even using his feet.

He could only see the phantom of his fist.

Under these layers of shadows, the eyes he looked at the girl with became more and more like that woman.

Kang Tai.

Now she only hoped that the man would vent all his anger on herself and not involve Kang Tai.

Kanta is still young.

Can't withstand a few punches from him.

But she is old enough to endure for a long time... a long time...

Kangtai can't go to school with scars all over his body.

That way you will be laughed at by the kids around you.

This is one of the few things she can do now as a sister.

So, Kangtai, you must hide well.

The girl kept whispering in her heart.
