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

Or perhaps before becoming a nationally renowned leading lady in melodramas, Minami was actually a martial arts actress who originally planned to pursue a career in Hollywood?

While Kawara Momoka was lost in thought, Wakaba Mutsumi, wearing a black veil, seemed to finally recognize Nagasaki Motoyo. She then strode up to Nagasaki Motoyo and patted her on the shoulder.

"Ah, Su Shi. What a coincidence to run into you here..."

"It's quite a coincidence, but Xiao Mu, how could you..."

"Hey! Keep your voice down," Ruoye Mu's hand, which was on Su Shi's shoulder, moved up to wrap around her neck. "Don't say my name. I'm hiding my whereabouts. Please help me, Su Shi."

"Huh? Concealing your whereabouts?"

"Yes, it's really tough for women to be in the underworld!"

Wakaba Mu sighed.

"The underworld? Xiao Mu? What nonsense are you talking about..."

Nagasaki Motoyo stared in disbelief.

"Don't be so surprised! Mumu is still the good girl at Tsukimori Academy who loves playing guitar and growing cucumbers, and me..."

After saying this, Ruoye Mutsu's expression suddenly became more serious.

She straightened her bow tie, exuding the air of a stern and unsmiling underworld boss. "You should call me Mortis (Fearless of Death) - The Nine-Tailed Fox of the Higashiyama Group."

"Mortis? The nine-tailed fox?"

Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a moment, then her face gradually showed displeasure.

Xiao Mu is saying she doesn't have any psychological problems? She's talking nonsense!

The information Chihaya-san found out through connections is completely wrong! The two photos of psychological treatment records she sent are most likely fake as well.

I had such high hopes for her...

We can talk about Chihaya's matter later. Right now, the most important thing is to take good care of Mutsu.

Nagasaki Motoyo reached out and grabbed Mutsu's shoulder. "Mutsu, come over here with me for a moment."

But she felt that Xiao Mu was like a telephone pole, firmly rooted to the spot. She tried to pull her several times, but Xiao Mu remained motionless.

The difference in strength is the best way for a slow-witted person to perceive danger. It was only at this moment that Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly realized that the Wakaba Mutsu in front of her was not the same as the dull and clueless Mutsu in her memory.

"I'm sorry, Su Shi, did I scare you? But don't worry."

Wakaba Mutsu gazed at Nagasaki Motoyo, her eyes seemingly burning with some kind of flame.

"...As the inheritor of the spirit of the East City Gang, I will always stand on the side of the weak... Oh, by the way, Su Shi, wait here for a moment, I have something to take care of~"

Nagasaki Motoyo didn't dare to respond to her. Instead, she released her grip on her arm and retreated to Kawaraki Momoka and Iori Nina's side.

"Nagasaki-kun, is this... Miss Higashiyama no Fox, your friend? That's amazing!"

Looking at the back of Wakaba Mutsu, who was about the same height as her, Izayoi's eyes sparkled with longing.

"Hmm, probably..."

Just a minute ago, Nagasaki Motoyo was absolutely certain that the girl wearing a black veil was her classmate and friend, Wakaba Mutsumi. But after their interaction, she was a little unsure.

This person's speaking style, eyes, temperament, and expression were completely opposite to the image of Wakaba Mutsu in her memory.

Are they Xiao Mu's twin sisters? Or is it another personality within the same body?

If the answer is the former, why has Xiaomu never mentioned it in all the time I've known her (over a year)?

If the answer is the latter, then why do a person's physical abilities and coordination change after switching personalities? Is it a Persona mask? Does it come with built-in skills and enhancements after you put it on?

"Hmph, what a child. What's so admirable about fighting and killing?"

Kawara Momoka crossed her arms and muttered something to herself, looking rather annoyed.

The adorable little fan suddenly became a fan of someone else, and she felt a little resentful.

"Ms. Kawaragi... are you jealous?"

Jing Qinren's eyes lit up, and she asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Don't spread rumors... This is just advice from an adult."

Kawara no Momoka blushed and quickly changed the subject with insincere words.

However, her words quickly melted away the expectant look on Izanagi's face.

"...Is it advice from an adult?"

Adults certainly don't want to see minors, especially underage girls, fighting with others.

But if we truly possess the power and means to punish evil, what's wrong with using violence to combat violence?

Jingqin Rencai thought to herself as she watched Wakaba Mutsu's retreating figure.

If I had this girl's skills, maybe I wouldn't have needed to leave my hometown and come to Tokyo.

"But then again, it's truly admirable that this kid has managed to do this much."

Kawara Momoka added.

"Eh?"

Jing Qinrencai turned to look at her with some surprise.

"What do you mean, 'hey'? Do you think I never thought of being a chivalrous heroine who fights for justice and eliminates evil? I just didn't have the ability. Now, seeing such a young man who is both skilled and wealthy, I can only admire him."

"But I think Ms. Kawaharaki is a heroine! Your songs have fulfilled my desire for justice and the fight against evil in my heart."

"Such actions, something that could happen to anyone but me, are certainly not uncommon. So it's not wrong to say that Ms. Kawaharaki is a 'great swordsman' who has saved hundreds of people," Izare Nina paused, carefully choosing her words, "Hmm... perhaps 'Great Kichiku'... no, 'Great Harp Demon' would be more appropriate here."

Kawara Momoka was quite happy when she heard the first part, but when Nina added the rest, the corners of her mouth involuntarily trembled.

Are you trying to make fun of me?

That's what her eyes said.

But unlike the previous celebrity who said those words, she didn't raise her fist like a vinegar pot.

On one hand, you can't hit children; on the other hand, Wakaba Mutsumi, wearing a black veil, also ran back.

“This 4,200-plus yuan, these idiots stole it from you, right? Here you go…” Wakaba Mutsu first stuffed the large handful of small bills and coins that Kawara Momoka had taken out earlier back into her hand, then took out six thousand-yen bills and gave two to each of the three of them. “This is compensation for your mental distress according to the rules here in the port area.”

"Arigato... wait, compensation for emotional distress? Did you extort this six thousand yuan from them?"

Because Wakaba Mutsumi was much shorter than Kawara Momoka, when she suddenly bent down to get closer and make eye contact with Wakaba Mutsumi, the guitar on her back hit the back of her head due to inertia. But she didn't care about the pain at that moment and hurriedly wanted to return the extra two thousand yen in her hand.

That's extortion! Even if you haven't committed any specific crime, as long as you accept the money, you're very likely to be considered an accomplice to the crime.

The three minors in front of her don't need to be afraid of this, but it's different for her, an adult.

If the other party chooses to call the police, as an adult, there is a high possibility that the court will consider him a principal offender or even an instigator, and he may end up with a criminal record or even spend two years in prison.

"Um, Wakaba..."

"Don't call me Wakaba, call me the Fox of Higashiyama."

Ruoye Mu puffed out her cheeks, looking a little unhappy.

"Alright, Dongshan Fox... classmate, you should return the money to them. Jingqin, you shouldn't take it either."

Kawara Momoka seemed to regard Iori Jinna as her junior, and without asking her opinion, she directly took the two thousand-yen bills from Iori's hand and put them back into Wakaba Mutsumi's hand.

"Why can't we take it?" Wakaba Mutsu tilted his head, looking puzzled. "It's the rule of the underworld. If you offend someone you shouldn't have, you should pay money to apologize... But you're all ordinary people, so the amount of 'apology money' isn't very high. Two thousand yen is quite appropriate, and it'll be acceptable anywhere..."

Isogachi Music Awards: 082 Mutsu, you've gone astray!

Feeling unable to communicate with Momoka Kawara, she could only look to Motoyo Nagasaki for help.

Nagasaki Motoyo wasn't really comfortable talking too much to Mutsu in her current state, but since she was asked to do so, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

After all, that's just the kind of person she is. She acts as a caring older sister at school mainly because she always agrees with a smile when asked to do something.

"Um, Mutsu, I think Ms. Kawaragi isn't worried about whether the money is too much or too little... but rather that accepting this money might cause trouble, right?"

"Causing trouble? Oh—" Ruoye Mu clenched his fist, a look of sudden realization on his face. "You're afraid of getting into a lawsuit, right? Don't worry, there's a reason why some things are called 'rules'... If you do something wrong, it's not enough to just apologize and return the money you shouldn't have taken. You also have to pay a reasonable price... That's what's fair to those who suffer losses for no reason and have their whole day ruined, isn't it?"

Kawara Momoka was determined not to accept the money, and she didn't want to have too much dealing with Wakaba Mutsu, whose way of speaking had a "gangster vibe."

"This money is a token of our gratitude to Miss Higashiyama Fox for helping us. Please accept it... Nina, shall we go?"

She took Jing Qinrencai's hand and started walking towards the station.

But at that moment, another group of people appeared.

This group was larger than the group that had surrounded them earlier, and they were all burly, menacing-looking adult men, all dressed in matching black suits/white shirts/black ties.

If the previous nine people were just a rabble of street performers and delinquents, this group was the elite of a criminal organization.

Kawara Momoka quickly shielded Iori Jinna and Nagasaki Momoko behind her, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and moved them to the side of the road.

These elite gangsters usually don't mess with ordinary people. As long as they stay out of the way and keep quiet, they won't provoke them.

And these burly men in suits, as expected, all bypassed them.

But they all stopped in front of Wakaba Mutsu.

Are we going to fight again?

Kawara Momoka was extremely nervous.

But can Ruoye... no, Miss Dongshan Fox, replicate her feat of fighting nine opponents alone?

result……

The man in sunglasses who was leading the group bowed to Ruoye Mutsu before saying the following:

"Miss Wakaba, what are you doing here? We've been looking for you everywhere."

Who are you guys?

"We are just a small, insignificant gang in the Minami-Azabu area of ​​the Minato Ward, with only a slight connection to the Matsukane Group, formerly under the Tojo Clan."

"Oh...did Uncle Dojima send you to find me?"

"You must be joking. How could someone as high-ranking as Director Dojima issue orders directly to us?"

The man in sunglasses also knew that Daigo Dojima had now publicly severed ties with the yakuza and was being very cautious in his speech.

But then he explained in detail why he had come to find Wakaba Mutsu.

About two hours ago, Wakaba Mutsumi's mother, Mori Minami, discovered that her daughter had used a hairpin to pry open the locked bedroom door and then slipped out of the house during the maid's shift change. Mori Minami couldn't find her anywhere and couldn't get through to Wakaba Mutsumi on the phone (Mortis/Higashiyama Fox's personality doesn't know how to use a cell phone). Considering her daughter's behavior in the past few days, she suspected that her daughter might have gone to see the former yakuza members who had taken her home before.

So Minami got the phone number of one of Daigo Dojima's men from Takafumi Wakaba and asked them to help her find out where Mutsumi Wakaba was.

Just as Minami had guessed, Wakaba Mutsumi took a taxi directly to Kamurocho, where she ran into an "acquaintance"—a former yakuza member who had stood by and cheered her on when the three directors of "Higashiyama Holdings" drove her home a few days earlier. She asked this man to find her a yakuza-style outfit that fit her perfectly and change out of her old dress and shoes.

However, Wakaba Mutsu didn't stay in Kamurocho for long. After changing his clothes, he took various modes of transportation to Roppongi. During this time, he also visited several former members of Tojo Clan's affiliated organizations.

Following this clue, it was Dojima Daigo's confidant, who had accepted Mori Minami's request for help, who roughly figured out Wakaba Mutsumi's location and quickly contacted several of Higashiyama Holdings' subsidiaries and affiliated companies in the vicinity, dispatching manpower to search separately.

"I see," Wakaba Mutsumi nodded. "Minami is really something. I've only been out for a short while, and she's already..."

"They've got half of Dongshan Holdings on their toes."

"Anyway, Ms. Wakaba, you should go home quickly, don't keep Ms. Mori Minami waiting..."

The man in sunglasses advised.

"Don't rush," Ruoye Mu pointed to the street performers and delinquents behind him who were helping each other to their feet. "Could you please teach them some manners? They offended my friends and are willing to pay an apology, but my friends are ordinary citizens who suspect I'm extorting them. Could you help me think of a way to ease their worries?"

"Leave this to me... Miss Wakaba, please give me the 'apology fee' first."

After taking the six thousand-dollar bills, the man in sunglasses turned around and spoke with the two tall street performers.

The expressions on the two men's faces gradually changed from fear to relief. They then wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to the man in sunglasses.

When he returned, the six bare banknotes were now wrapped with a note that clearly read "apology money".

"That's fine. Miss Ruoye is just an ordinary citizen, so it's inappropriate for her to ask for apology money. It's perfectly fine to put it on our team's tab. You can use this money as you like."

……

In the end, Kawara Momoka did not accept the money, nor did she allow Iori Rencai to accept it.

Without saying a word, Ruo Yemu ran to the food street next door and bought 30 large meat buns for the two of them to take away.
