After being elected as the governor of Tokyo, he will debut as a band!

“Ms. Kawaragi, I’m not on a diet… I’ve just been too busy lately and forgot to eat.”

"How could you forget something as important as eating?!"

The one who spoke wasn't Momoka Kawahara, but the girl with the bun hairstyle standing next to her.

"Haha, there are people like that too... Oh right, girl, you probably haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"No, I just got off the train and came over."

The girl with the bun hairstyle seemed quite unfazed.

"Then let's eat together as a family. The big bowls of beef jerky are perfect for people who have been hungry for days or have just finished a long trip to quickly replenish their energy!"

"Is it... Nina? You said you just arrived in Tokyo today, do you have a place to stay?"

After finishing their meal, Momoka Kawara originally intended to dismiss the group, but upon seeing the girl with the bun hairstyle pulling her suitcase, she casually inquired about her well-being.

After all, she was his loyal fan, and a minor girl at that. As her idol, he had a responsibility to take care of her.

"...It used to exist."

The girl with the bun hairstyle stammered.

When she ate at the Ushii specialty store before, she introduced herself to Momoka Kawaragi and Motoyo Nagasaki. The girl's name is Iori Jinna, she is seventeen years and four months old, and for some reason, she ran away from her hometown of Kumamoto to live alone in Tokyo and became a proud new self-taught student.

This made Nagasaki Motoyo, who had initially assumed she was a high school freshman or even a junior high student and had taken it for granted by being addressed with respectful terms the whole way, feel extremely awkward... She had no idea that Iori Nina was actually more than a year older than her...

He clearly looks like just a little kid.

"It used to exist? So you mean it doesn't exist now, right?"

Kawara Momoka asked questions as she walked.

"Well... the train arrived a bit late, and I went the wrong way when I got off the train, so by the time I got off the train, it was past the time I had arranged to meet with the agent manager. She told me to come back to her tomorrow."

As Jing Qinrencai spoke, she became somewhat discouraged, but she immediately realized something and quickly shook her head. "Well... it's only for one night. I'll just find a 24-hour fast food restaurant to stay at. I'll definitely be able to check in tomorrow!"

“But you can’t sleep at a fast food restaurant,” Momoka Kawara warned. “If you fall asleep on the table, the staff will wake you up.”

"Huh? Fast food restaurants do that kind of thing?"

Nagasaki Motoyo and Iori Nina were also learning this little-known fact for the first time.

"Of course, if you can sleep in a fast food restaurant, why would homeless people sleep on the streets?"

"N-no, it's okay, it's only one night. I can manage even if I can't sleep. Ah! There's a convenience store over there, I'll go buy some instant coffee... Ms. Kawaraki, could you please carry my suitcase for me?"

Although Jingqinrencai's living expenses as a single person are not very high, she can still afford a few packets of instant coffee.

"Oh, hurry back... but don't blindly trust the power of coffee, wait a minute, isn't that over there..."

As Kawara Momoka spoke, she turned her head to look in the direction of Izanagi Jinna, and found that the place Izanagi Jinna was going to was not a convenience store, but a 24-hour adult supplies store.

But it was too late to stop her.

As Jing Qinrencai said "Excuse me" she opened the shop door, what came into her eyes was a row of vending machines filled with items such as plastic radishes, silicone peaches, three-point underwear, whips and chains.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

Her face flushed instantly, and she turned around and slammed the door shut.

"shameful."

She covered her face with her hands and cried out to Kawara Momoka and Nagasaki Motoyo, who were chasing after her, that her "young heart had been severely damaged."

"At least read the store name before you go in..."

Kawara Momoka complained.

“Tokyo is so scary…” Igarashi Rina was still brooding over there.

This isn't a problem in Tokyo, okay?

Kawara Momoka thought to herself.

Don't they have shops like this in Kumamoto? Then Kumamoto's birth rate should be the highest in all of Japan!

"Alright, if you really have nowhere to go tonight, come with me. I'm quite a fan-friendly person."

Momoka Kawaharaki couldn't bear to leave such a clumsy and clueless kid alone in Tokyo.

outside.

"Um...is it really okay?"

Jingqin Rencai looked at her with disbelief.

"Of course."

Kawara Momoka nodded, and was about to say goodbye to Nagasaki Sosei and lead Iori Nina home when she heard a series of rapidly approaching footsteps behind her.

"Since it has come to this secluded path on its own, it saves us the trouble of chasing it away."

Goods stores are usually located on secluded side streets with few people passing by, and because they usually use vending machines to sell goods, they have anti-theft cameras installed inside the stores, so there are usually no other cameras installed on the street outside the stores.

In other words, if a violent conflict occurs here, the police will have a hard time discovering it immediately. At most, they will arrive to investigate after a passerby calls the police. But by then, it's too late. If the victim's injuries are not serious, given the limited police resources, the incident will usually be dropped, and the victim will have to suffer in silence.

When Kawaraki Momoka turned around, she saw five men with unfriendly expressions standing in a row, pressing towards her three companions. The one in the lead was the tall man who had clashed with Kawaraki Momoka earlier over the performance venue.

"What a troublesome bunch!"

Adhering to the principle that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, Kawara Momoka's first thought was to grab Iori Jinna and Nagasaki Momoko and escape to the other side of the road.

However, the other party had obviously anticipated this as well. The three of them had only taken a few steps when four more menacing-looking men and women emerged from the shadows on the other side of the road, led by the tall woman who had clashed with them earlier.

Kawara Momoka quickly shielded the two minors behind her and tried to negotiate with the group of ill-intentioned people.

"Gentlemen, I admit I was wrong to perform on your turf. How about this? Consider it renting your space... This money can be considered rent."

She pulled out a handful of loose banknotes and coins from her pocket, totaling about four thousand yen, and handed them to the tall man.

The latter didn't stand on ceremony and stuffed the money into his pocket without even counting it.

But these people showed no intention of leaving.

"This amount of money isn't enough. You've performed on our turf many times, haven't you? You've probably earned around 20,000 to 30,000 yen during this time, right? Hand it all over, and we'll let you go. Otherwise, we'll have to admit that your apology isn't sincere, and we, as seniors, will have to teach you a lesson about performance etiquette."

The tall man threatened.

Jingqinrencai couldn't listen anymore.

Why should Ms. Kawaharagi give you the money she earned through her own abilities?

"Are you kidding me?! Paying you rent is already showing you 'seniors' enough respect! You want the money you earned from previous performances too? Is that money yours to take? Everyone gave so many tips because of Ms. Kawaharaki's excellent performance, what does it have to do with you?"

"If you were to do it yourselves, you probably wouldn't even earn the rent that Ms. Kawaharagi gave you! If you ask me, Ms. Kawaharagi brought popularity to this area with her performance, so you should be the ones paying them."

"Tie! What makes you think you are, you little brat?! You look down on us, don't you?! Big brother, big sister, you're adults, it's inconvenient for you to fight with a kid like this, so let us help you vent your anger!"

Among the nine men and women with unfriendly expressions, three of them were dressed like delinquent teenagers. They were very indignant that their respected "street performer" senior was being looked down upon, and they were eager to teach Jing Qinren a lesson.

Jing Qinren wasn't afraid at all; once she'd said what was on her mind and felt good, that was it! Getting a beating was nothing to her!

Close your eyes, just bear with it and it will pass.

She stood fearlessly in front of Momoka Kawara and Motoyo Nagasaki, head held high, confronting the three delinquents.

"Come on! Shoot here!"

Whoever cries is a scoundrel!

She stretched her head forward, her small face with delicate features scrunched up like a steamed bun.

The three delinquents looked at each other, unsure of how to be too harsh on such a courageous woman.

Just a token gesture, enough to teach her a lesson!

Ideally, you should scare her a little and make her back down!

If someone saw us lay a hand on such an open and honest girl, our reputation would be ruined.

They exchanged glances and tacitly decided to adopt a "bluffing" approach—to scare the girl into tears with exaggerated movements, frightening expressions, and screams, and then proceed to attack her without hesitation.

This way, you save face and don't have to bear the psychological burden of "bullying girls".

Ever since——

Three delinquents... or rather, idiot teenagers, yelling "Damn bastards!" "Die!" "We'll show you what we're made of!" charged towards Izanagi.

Kawara Momoka was currently surrounded by the leading man and woman, and couldn't break free to protect Iori Jinna. She could only give Nagasaki Motoyo a look, signaling her to pull away the stubborn Iori Jinna who was waiting to be beaten—was this the time for a little girl like her to act like a hero?!

However, she overestimated Nagasaki Motoyo's ability to handle such a violent scene. How could a well-behaved girl who studied at Tsukimori Girls' School have ever experienced such a situation? Let alone holding onto Iori Nina and the three delinquents Shugen who exuded "violent aura," she might have panicked if she had just seen an ordinary man rushing towards her.

Seeing the three aggressive delinquents, Nagasaki Motomasa thought he was about to get beaten up.

Oh no! I was just having a quick meal in the commercial area downstairs, why did this happen?!

Who can help me!

……

"Ouch!" "Ugh!" "That hurts!"

It was as if heaven had heard Nagasaki Motoyo's prayer.

A black and green figure flashed through the air, and the three delinquents were kicked away almost simultaneously when they were only a meter away from Jing Qinrencai.

That wasn't the end of it. After landing, the owner of the black and green figure immediately attacked the other six people present. His legs, clad in black trousers and sturdy riding boots, moved freely among the group of tall and strong men and women, like brushstrokes on rice paper. In just two minutes, all nine attackers were lying on the ground.

Kawara Momoka was astonished.

What the hell is this? A superhero? I've never seen one in my twenty years of life.

She quickly patted Jing Qinrencai's shoulder, urging her to open her eyes.

When Jingqin Rencai opened her eyes and saw the scene before her, she was stunned...

Two minutes ago, the group of people were all menacing, but now they're all lying on the ground clutching their stomachs. The three delinquents who tried to attack him are in the worst shape; they were clearly hit in the head, their eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth.

This reminded her of Jackie Chan movies she had seen before.

Was I rescued by a hero?

A slight blush rose on Izanagi's face. She stole a glance at Kawara no Momoka, feeling a strange sense of regret.

It would be even better if it were Ms. Kawaragi who defeated these people.

Anyway,

If someone saves you, the first thing you should do is express your gratitude.

Just as Ishizaki Niina was about to say "thank you," Nagasaki Motoyo spoke up first, asking:

"Are you... are you Xiao Mu?"

Huh? Is this someone Nagasaki-san knows? As expected of a young lady living in a high-end apartment, she has a wide network of connections!

Jingqin Rencai thought to herself.

Upon hearing Nagasaki Motoyo's question, the uninvited guest, who had been squatting on one leg, immediately stood up straight and turned to face the three of them.

Jingqin Rencai was surprised to discover that the "war god" who had defeated six adults and three tall, strong delinquents in just two minutes with such fluid speed was actually a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl of similar height and age to herself.

The girl wore a black lace veil covering her mouth and nose, which barely served to conceal her face... but its effect was better than nothing.

Apart from Iori Jinna, who knew nothing about Tokyo's entertainment stars due to her strict upbringing, Kawara Momoka and Nagasaki Motoyo both seemed to recognize her identity in a short period of time.

"The 'Xiao Mu' you're talking about, it wouldn't be..." Kawara Momoka leaned close to Nagasaki Momoyo and whispered in her ear, "...the one with the surname Wakaba, right?"

"That face couldn't possibly belong to anyone else."

Nagasaki Motoyo spoke softly, but her tone was resolute.

"Oh my god, it really is..."

Momoka Kawahara felt that her worldview was being reshaped.

But how come Wakaba Mutsumi, who comes from a celebrity family, is so good at fighting? Could it be a family secret technique?

But isn't Mr. Wakaba a comedian who started out in rakugo? Aren't the four skills of emotional rakugo not speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing, but rather fists, palms, swords, and spears?
