Was Hajime planning to let a bunny girl charge alone against thirty armed men? The merchants all looked surprised. Adventurers who knew Shia to some degree whispered, "Is that a ghost?" Even Shia seemed hesitant.

"Shia, if you perform well, I'll consider giving you a prize—"

“Alright! Whoever you are, come at me!”

Before she even finished saying the word "reward," Shia burst into enthusiasm.

Xia faced the oncoming bandits with a smug smile. She clashed her fists, generating a powerful shockwave. A gust of wind blew, and her breasts trembled like a warrior before battle.

"Brothers, don't hurt that white-haired rabbit-man. I'm going to take him home to raise—"

“Drink aaaaaaaaaa!”

Seeing Shia approach, the thief who seemed to be the leader made an obscene expression at her appearance and figure, and shouted loudly to his men...

But before he could finish his words, he was met with a blow to the face. Shia, sprinting forward as if to crush the ground, punched the leader in the face, creating an artistic high-speed spin and a home run that flew straight up the hill.

Seeing the sheer force of her punch, the thieves couldn't help but shudder. But that was only for a moment. Seeing Shia's impressive fighting style, the thieves once again drew their weapons. Perhaps they figured that if they didn't let their guard down and attacked her head-on, they could defeat her.

However, after Xia released the action, unlike the random punches just now, this time she took up some kind of posture.

She raised her hands to her sides and lightly stepped forward with one foot. Then, a thief yelled and rushed towards her, brandishing a sword. Shia unleashed a powerful forward kick before his sword struck her.

With a bang, a sound like a cannonade was heard.

“Guh!?”

The blow made the thief roll his eyes. Then, Shia pressed forward, taking advantage of the victory, and with a powerful left hook, she landed a beautiful blow on the thief's jaw, turning him into a broken toy.

Afterwards, Xia also used skillful kicks, jabs, uppercuts, and straight punches to deal with other thieves who attacked, producing more damaged toys.

Her moves are exactly──Muay Thai!

"Damn monster!"

"Hahaha!"

The two thieves cursed as they attacked from both sides. In response, Shia dropped her Muay Thai stance, swung her body to the beat, performed a sideways roll, and crushed her enemies' necks with her feet.

She then twisted her body, ducked down to avoid the spear that was thrust at her at the right moment as she landed, and simultaneously used centrifugal force to perform a spinning kick, striking the enemy in the head.

The movements are full of rhythm, like dancing, but the kicks are enough to cause fatal injuries. This movement is exactly - Capoeira!

"I'm pursuing burning—"

"Don't even think about it!"

The thief, a little way off, attempted to cast a spell, but Shia swiftly approached, then stomped her foot with a force like a localized earthquake, then simultaneously struck her with an elbow. The thief flew away like a marble, spitting blood.

Xia didn't care about the thief's fate at all. She lowered her waist and squatted into a horse stance, stomping loudly - then shaking her feet, performing elbows, palm strikes, and punches.

This is a one-hit, fatal attack with frequent kicks, and this action is exactly - Bajiquan!

“Damn it!”

“Go to hell!”

His companions were knocked down one after another by the strange moves. The thief roared in despair and rushed forward, but as he narrowly avoided them, he was hit in the neck by Shia's arm. This move was the Golden Arm Hook.

The thief was forced to turn around with the neck as the starting point, and turned into a broken toy.

The thief, who was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow, was hit in the face by a flying knee kick from Shia. The thief beside him let out a mournful "Ah!", but Shia had already circled behind him and performed a back throw, finally turning him into a broken toy.

The moves are varied, bold and powerful, this action is exactly - wrestling!

After that, Sia also used a straight punch attack, turning the thief into a Merlion statue; a wheel-swinging attack, hitting the thief's head like the head of a giant Buddha; and then throwing him over the shoulder to the large wheel, making the thief scream. Sia worked very hard for the reward.

As a result, the hill was littered with the corpses of thieves.

“Yay~~~~~!”

Shia raised her hands to the sky and cheered loudly in victory.

Seeing Shia like that...

“…Shia, the scary girl!!”

"I can't deny it. I only vaguely remember the moves I taught her, but I didn't expect she could actually master them all."

Yue's expression was filled with a shiver like in a girl's manga, while Hajime's was stiff.

After that, adventurers and merchants changed their address to Shia from "Little Sister Shia" to "Miss Shia", which must be a normal thing.

It's not too long before Jukai's sorry rabbit becomes the war god rabbit... Maybe...

◆Parents' Talk

"Please, please don't say anything you shouldn't, Dad, Mom."

As the setting sun shone on the school building after school, I heard this reminder in a corner of the corridor.

“Hey, Hajime, what are you worried about? It’s just a parent-teacher conference. We’re just going to ask about Hajime’s school life.”

"That's right, you're such a weird kid. Even if your homeroom teacher is a 'legal lolita', we wouldn't tease her."

"That's right! I'm just worried that you might say something like 'legal loli' to the teachers at school! No other parents would be like you! I really beg you to respect yourselves, okay?"

Hajime warned them with a serious expression. However, Hajime's parents, Sou and Sumire, looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Sumire, did you hear that? Hajime said there aren't other parents like us."

"Yeah, suddenly saying we are the one and only best parents... Really, when will we be able to leave our parents and become independent, hehe."

"That's not what I meant! How on earth did you twist my meaning so much?!"

The complaints that came from the soul were beautifully ignored.

Today was the day for a parent-teacher conference at the high school Hajime attended. Knowing how unconventional his parents, both professional otakus, were, Hajime was nervous, worried that something might go wrong during the interview.

The dark history of junior high school days awakens in my mind...

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway. "Sorry to have kept you waiting!" The person running frantically toward us was Teacher Aiko Hatayama, the teacher in charge of today's interview. She was 140 cm tall, childlike, and always scurried around like a squirrel. She was a female teacher in the Department of Small Animals.

At the beginning of the interview, Aiko first told Hajime about her academic performance.

In response, Cho and Sumire nodded in agreement exaggeratedly. Seeing their deliberately affected attitudes, Hajime broke out in a cold sweat.

“Well, that’s right. Nagumo-san doesn’t have any problems academically. He just needs to improve on his tendency to fall asleep in class and not give his all, but…”

Aiko's face showed an embarrassed smile, while Hajime smiled and played it off. Aiko's smile became even more embarrassed, but after a pause, her expression became a little gloomy, and she spoke with a look of difficulty:

"And then, regarding Nagumo-san's relationship with the other students..."

Aiko's mind flashed back to Hajime, who was isolated in class. Despite her outward concern, Hajime said he genuinely didn't care and earnestly asked her not to make a big deal out of it. Aiko, for her part, was troubled about how to handle this situation. However, Sou gave Aiko a straightforward answer:

"We know about this, Sensei. But my wife and I think it's fine."

“B-But…”

"It's okay, teacher. My child believes in minimizing big problems and making small ones disappear, but he'll still act when the time comes. Besides, my husband and I have discussed this... If the need arises, we've already prepared various escape routes for Hajime, so he can choose whatever he wants."

"No, no, you mean retreat..."

Hearing the two of them talking so easily and not shying away from saying they could escape if necessary, Aiko was at a loss.

Sumire suddenly turned serious to Aiko. Aiko thought, after all, what she had just said and done was just a joke. When Hajime's mother questioned her responsibilities as a teacher and how to handle them, she also put on a serious expression.

Then, Sumire, with a serious face, said...

"By the way, Mr. Hatayama...are you dating anyone currently?"

"……………………What?"

Aiko was dumbfounded, a '?' symbol appearing above her head, and she wondered, "What is this person talking about?" A '?' symbol also appeared above Hajime's head, and he suddenly turned back to face Sumire.

"So, are you dating a guy?"

“No, no, no…”

"Oh, so are you dating any women?"

"How is that possible!? What the hell are you talking about!?"

Aiko's complaints exploded. Hajime's expression turned devilish, and he frantically tugged at Sumire's sleeve under the table.

However, Chou and Sumire didn't care at all and continued:

"Well, I heard that teaching is a tough job with few opportunities for personal encounters and little personal time. Especially since my son told me that you're even willing to sacrifice your personal time for your students... We're really worried about your marriage."

"Who asked you to meddle in other people's business? What are you suddenly talking about?!"

"No, if you don't mind...what do you think of our Hajime?"

"What the hell are you talking about!?"

"What the hell are you talking about!? Mom and Dad!"

The classroom became a mess in an instant.

Afterwards, Cho and Sumire try to sell their son to the confused Aiko. Hajime tries to stop them, but Cho reveals, "Huh? But people like Hatayama-sensei are exactly your type, right?" Aiko lets out a "Hawawa" sound, and Sumire nods contentedly, saying, "I heard someone say "Hawawa" in the real world," further confusing the situation...

"Well, then, let's end this discussion..."

After Aiko said this tiredly, the nightmare-like parent-teacher conference for Hajime finally came to an end.

Aiko's back, staggering as she walked back to the staff room, was truly sympathetic. Facing Sou and Sumire must have been quite draining.

Hajime had to kowtow to his beloved son and apologize in his heart.

At this moment, Aiko suddenly stopped. She turned around, her cheeks slightly flushed, glared at Hajime, and said:

"Nan-Nangumo-san! A teacher is a teacher! You can't look at a teacher like that!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away as if escaping.

"...Dad, Mom, what kind of expression should I use when facing the teacher from tomorrow?"

The father and mother gave their frustrated son a thumbs-up and said:

"I think just smiling will be fine, okay?"

"I think you just need to smile, okay?"

Hearing them say this, Shi couldn't help but feel murderous intent in his heart.

◆The handsome rabbit and the steel boy

At that time, Nan Yunshi was in a mess because of anxiety and panic.

Hajime was now in a vast cavern, lit by a faint green light source and surrounded by rough, naturally formed rock walls. This was further down in the so-called "Great Labyrinth of Orcus"—the very bottom of the abyss.

Hajime visited this huge labyrinth with his classmates, but was betrayed by his classmates and was shot down and fell into this place.

Miraculously saved, Hajime, determined to escape, began exploring further, only to encounter a powerful rabbit monster ahead. He was now outnumbered four to one, and the wolf-like monster, seemingly a natural enemy, was able to defeat it with a rare kicking technique.

Its powerful fighting power made all the monsters he had seen so far look like useless creatures. If he were to be discovered by it, Hajime knew that he would definitely die. Hajime felt a cold sweat running down his chin, and he slowly tried to leave the scene.

But at that moment, Hajime, overly nervous, made a fatal mistake. While backing away, he accidentally kicked a small stone under his feet. With a clatter, an infuriating, clumsy sound rang out.

Like a piece of forgotten machinery, Hajime turned back stiffly. Of course, what he saw were a pair of dark red eyes gazing at him. Several dark red lines pulsated across its white-furred body, and the moment it spotted Hajime, those distinctive lines pulsated even more intensely.

(coming!)

The moment Hajime thought this, the rabbit had already crushed the ground, rushing towards him with a loud noise, its powerful legs stomping down high, and it was already right in front of him. Hajime thought to himself, "I'm dead," and closed his eyes in fear.

but……

“………………?”

As the impact was still taking a while to arrive, Hajime opened his eyes nervously.

The rabbit had already lowered its foot, about to step forward, and looked at Hajime with a puzzled look, tilting its head as if to ask, "Who the hell is this guy?" Hajime, for his part, was about to respond, "Who the hell are you?" Of course, Hajime would never do such a terrifying thing.

"Chirp? Chirp?"

"Eh? Huh? W-what?"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp?"

“Uh, well…”

Seeing the rabbit monster seemingly speaking to him, Hajime, though perplexed, was relieved to learn that it showed no signs of attacking him. He managed to regain his composure. Of course, he couldn't understand what the rabbit was saying, and was completely bewildered. He gestured, trying to tell it, "I've fallen off a cliff and want to get back to the surface..."

"Chirp."

"Eh? Do you understand now?!"

The rabbit seemed to understand, nodding deeply in response. Hajime was startled, but then he saw the rabbit, startled, snap back, its fur bristling and radiating a fierce fighting spirit. Hajime let out a "Yi!" and took a few steps back.
