I'm having fun in Tokyo

These two people gave him 80 experience points?

Strange, my experience from the solo dojo this morning was only 60, and that was only because of the first win bonus. There were clearly more people in the dojo, so why did I get less experience than those two people?

Does this mean the system gives experience based on the level of danger in the battle, not the number of players?

That doesn't make sense either. When I fought Kondo Kiyoshi a few days ago, it was just a normal match, and I got 50 experience points. Including the first win, I got 100 experience points. But these two people here, with guns, only got 80 experience points.

Does the level of danger not matter?

Morikawa Yu felt like she was in a predicament.

The number of people doesn't matter, the level of danger in the battle doesn't matter, so what does matter?

Is it a competition to see who has the most chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) and the highest purity?

He was internally complaining, but then he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered Kondo Kiyoshi's challenge from a few days ago.

At the time, he asked Kondo Kiyoshi if it was worth it to challenge him.

His answer was that it was worth it, because it was his responsibility as a man.

A sense of absurdity suddenly enveloped Morikawa Yu's mind and lingered for a long time.

No way, could it really depend on the other person's resolve?

The more immature and eccentric the other person is, the more determined they are, and the more experience you can gain.

The dojo master and his student only wanted to save face, while these two sleazy guys only wanted to escape, so their purity was insufficient and they gained less experience.

Was my system really this childish?

Or is he actually a villain who specializes in crushing people's resolve, making them face reality, and then trampling them underfoot for his own pleasure?

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow, subconsciously denying it.

No, impossible. Where in this world could there be a villain as handsome and charming as him?

He's a master swordsman who can defeat villains and save monster girls; by all accounts, he's a defender of justice, right?

Chapter 28 Interrogation

"Morikawa, what do we do next? Should we contact the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Hojo Maki looked at the two unconscious people in front of her, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.

"Furthermore, what exactly is going on with this matter?"

"It's nothing much, it's just that there's a mixed-race monster girl in the villa I went into, and these two ill-intentioned guys have their eyes on her."

"I wanted to ask them some questions, but they tried to run away, so I knocked them unconscious."

"Well, I see"

Her eyes held a hint of disdain.

"This kind of trash should be locked up."

"Morikawa, should I contact my elders at home and ask them to arrange for someone to interrogate me?"

"No need, let's go find Aunt Liangzi."

"it is good"

Maki Hojo turned and walked towards the car, preparing to drive off.

Morikawa Yu slung the katana at his waist, dragged the two men by the feet, and arrived in front of the villa.

Qianli Gongyu remained hidden behind the door, using the peephole to observe the situation outside.

Seeing him approach, she opened the door, seemingly relieved.

"Your Excellency the Arbitrator"

Morikawa Yu smiled slightly and nodded to her.

"It's the two of them, isn't it?"

Qianli Gongyu took a closer look, then shrank back.

"...It's them."

"Alright, Senri-chan."

Morikawa Yu glanced at the road not far behind her and saw Hojo Maki making a U-turn.

"I'm about to go with an older sister to meet the person who asked me to help you. Do you want to come with us?"

Qianli Gongyu hesitated for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

Soon, she nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Your Honor, please wait a moment, I need to go back and get some things."

Morikawa Yu watched her jog back to her room, then waited for Hojo Maki to drive over.

He opened the trunk of the car, moved the two things he was standing on into it, and stacked them up.

To prevent them from waking up, he took off one of the men's clothes and tied their hands together.

A few minutes later, Qianli Gongyu came out dragging a large box that was only a head shorter than her.

Hojo Maki seemed very interested in her, touched her long white hair, and pulled her to sit in the passenger seat.

Morikawa Yu frowned, looking at the back seat of the car, and then at the remaining large box.

He thought for a moment, then opened the trunk, expressionlessly threw the box inside, and placed it on top of the two men.

He sat alone in the spacious back seat and stretched.

Don't say I'm mistreating you. Prisoners should be treated like prisoners. This is the treatment you deserve.

Soon, Maki Hojo started the vehicle and left the spot.

Shortly after they left, several men in trench coats followed a somewhat timid-looking girl out of the villa next door.

Following the route Morikawa Yu had taken, they arrived at the room where Kihara was hiding. They were all speechless at the sight of the cleaved security door and the smooth cuts on it...

......

Asada Shrine, in front of the main shrine.

Morikawa Yu and Hojo Maki, along with Senri Miyako and two unconscious prisoners, arrived at the shrine.

It's already evening, and there are no more people coming to worship.

But just to be on the safe side, Maki Hojo pointed out a path leading in from behind the shrine, and they eventually arrived inside.

This was also the first time that Chisato Miyako had met the adult she had been praying for. Kondo Ryoko comforted her for a while before coming to Morikawa Yu and Hojo Maki.

"Thank you so much, Morikawa-san, you've been a huge help."

Looking at her smiling face and Senri Miyako behind her, Morikawa Yu didn't quite understand the relationship between the two of them.

If the two were truly strangers, and she responded simply because she heard Qianli Gongyu's prayer, wouldn't she be no different from a so-called god?

But judging from the behavior of that yokai woman, Hitsuki, Kondo Ryoko should just be a human, definitely not a god.

Her title of "shrine master" was likely an honorific title given simply because she was the priest and master of the shrine.

"It's alright, Aunt Liangzi. You helped me save my sister before, and I'm just repaying your kindness."

"But anyway, thank you."

After thanking Morikawa Yu, she glanced meaningfully at Hojo Maki before finally approaching the two captured men.

They had just been woken up, but they were bound tightly and couldn't move at all. Moreover, the places where Morikawa Yu had struck them were in excruciating pain, making their faces even paler.

Kondo Ryoko still had a smile on her face, but her words were unexpectedly cold.

"Speak, who is instigating you?"

Kihara and the man smoking exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

They were knocked unconscious by Morikawa Yu, and when they woke up again, they found themselves here, where they saw the woman in front of them.

Despite her beautiful face and smiling expression, they felt only chills in their hearts.

"Hmm? Seeing how scared I am, it seems the person behind you has told you about me."

"Then why do you still do this kind of thing?"

Kihara and the other two remained silent.

Kondo Ryoko's smile vanished, and she sighed.

"It seems there's no way we can have a proper conversation."

"You are just ordinary humans, you have no way of knowing anything about monsters. Even if you capture this poor child, you have no power to deal with her. There must be someone else hiding behind you."

"But if you insist on keeping this a secret for him, then I'll have no choice but to make you take the blame for him."

"You just don't understand how I can handle this kind of situation, or how serious the consequences will be."

She didn't say anything more, but took out her phone, dialed a number, said a few words, and then hung up.

Morikawa Yu and Hojo Maki looked at her, also somewhat curious about how she would handle the matter.

A dozen minutes later, several people who looked hurried arrived.

To Morikawa Yu's surprise, two of the men were wearing trench coats, while the other was dressed in a suit and tie, looking quite refined.

This strange combination made him take a second look.

Ignoring everyone else, the three went straight to Kondo Ryoko. She exchanged a few words with them, and then the three walked towards Kihara and his companion.

"I am Ryunosuke Kurokawa from the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. This is my partner, Itsuki Fujii, and that is Hayato Chihara, a lawyer from the Tomotsune Law Firm."

The guy in the lead pulled out his ID, as did the two men next to him.

Kihara stared in astonishment at the contents of the documents, unable to believe that she had actually called the police, and even a lawyer.

Ryunosuke Kurokawa shook his head, not giving him any more time, and pulled out handcuffs, cuffing him directly.

A younger detective named Fujii Itsuki next to him also handcuffed the man who was smoking.

Kihara appeared surprised, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

When he accepted the commission, the person who commissioned him told him not to be afraid if he was caught by the police, because he would receive a large sum of compensation.

Although he didn't want to go to jail, he could accept being locked up for a period of time.

Did this woman think that this outcome would frighten him and make him confess?

That would be underestimating him too much, wouldn't it?

He watched as Ryunosuke Kurokawa and Itsuki Fujii untied the ropes binding him and casually asked a question.

"Officer Kurokawa, what crime have we committed? This will help me hire a lawyer to defend us."

Ryunosuke Kurokawa gave him a strange look and shook his head.

"No need for that."

Chapter 29 Striving for the Death Penalty

"why?"

Kihara was somewhat puzzled.

"You are suspected of kidnapping and human trafficking, which are extremely serious offenses. According to Attorney Chihara's assessment, you two will be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty."

After Kurokawa Ryunosuke finished speaking, he fell silent.

Attorney Hayato Chihara kindly added a comment from the side.

"Don't worry, to prevent you two from spending the rest of your lives alone in prison, I will do my best to fight for the death penalty for you. Fortunately, the evidence is very strong, and you don't need to worry about being sentenced to life imprisonment."

Kihara was stunned; he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

"Impossible! How could someone be sentenced to death so easily!"

"I don't believe you, you must be talking nonsense!"
