Chapter 33

Under the night sky, Tokyo has its bright and bustling side, but naturally, it also has its dark underbelly that thrives amidst the prosperity.

A few delinquents hid in the shadows by the roadside, watching one person after another walk by on the street.

As the night grew deeper, the flow of people gradually thinned out. Finally, when the crowd had thinned to a certain extent, the delinquents made their move.

They targeted a middle-aged office worker who clearly had just finished an overtime shift and quietly tailed him.

The middle-aged office worker soon realized something was wrong and immediately tried to run, but the delinquents naturally wouldn't let their prey escape. With fewer people around, they grew bolder.

So, they all rushed forward and surrounded the middle-aged office worker.

"Hey, mister, lend us some money to spend!" the leader of the delinquents said casually to the middle-aged office worker.

"Sure, sure," the middle-aged office worker immediately agreed, quickly taking out his wallet, pulling out a few large bills, and handing them to the delinquents.

"Is that all? Mister, are you looking down on us?" The delinquent snatched the bills and pushed the middle-aged office worker, causing him to fall to the ground.

"But, but that's all I have," the middle-aged office worker said.

"Do you have a bank card? There's an ATM over there, go withdraw some!" the delinquent said again.

"But, but!" The middle-aged office worker naturally didn't want to, as the bank card held all his savings, and he didn't want to let these delinquents have it.

What happened next can be imagined. The delinquents rushed forward and beat the middle-aged office worker severely, then quickly ran off with a few more bills they found on him, leaving him groaning on the ground.

"Alright, we've run far enough. Even if someone calls the police, those stupid cops won't catch us," the leader of the delinquents said, panting.

"Hey, Suzuki, now that we have money, what should we do next?" one of the delinquents asked.

"With money, we should go have some fun," the leader, called Suzuki, replied.

"Go after women?" another delinquent asked.

"Do we need to spend money to find women?" Suzuki rolled his eyes and said.

The delinquents chatted idly as they wandered the streets. Their eyes were drawn to a girl passing by, and they couldn't look away.

She was a beautiful girl with a delicate face and long hair, wearing a fitted outfit, a short skirt, and stockings that accentuated her figure. She also carried a bamboo sword bag, the kind used to store a bamboo sword for kendo practice.

The girl seemed to be wandering aimlessly, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

Unbeknownst to her, she had already caught the attention of the delinquents.

"Hey, Suzuki, what should we do? Should we go for it?" one of the delinquents asked the leader.

"I'll go talk to her," Suzuki said, greedily eyeing the girl, and led the delinquents towards her.

The girl clearly noticed the delinquents approaching but didn't show the fear a typical girl would. Instead, she turned and looked at them with a cold gaze. As the delinquents got closer, her cold gaze gradually turned warm.

Although this made Suzuki feel a bit uneasy, he couldn't show weakness in front of a lone girl, or his position as the leader might be at risk.

Of course, he wouldn't just force himself on a pretty woman. They were delinquents who did bad things, but they weren't stupid. They knew what they could and couldn't do.

Dragging a woman into a dark alley and raping her? Come on, this is a busy street, even if it's less crowded now, someone might call the police! Rape isn't like robbery, which can be done quickly. Rape takes time, and even if each of them was quick, the police would have enough time to catch them all.

So, the best approach was to use soft tactics, like tricking the woman into going with them. Once she was with them, they could do whatever they wanted.

They had done this many times before, so Suzuki smoothly approached the girl and said, "Hey, beautiful, want to come play with us? I know a lot of fun places! Of course, I'll treat you."

"I know a fun place too, do you want to come?" the girl replied in a cold voice.

"Where is it?" Suzuki, taken aback by her unexpected response, asked instinctively.

"Right this way, follow me," the girl said, turning and walking towards a nearby alley.

Suzuki and the others looked at each other and followed her.

Soon, they disappeared into the alley. As they walked deeper into the more secluded area, the delinquents started to feel uneasy, but they didn't think a girl could do anything to them.

Finally, Suzuki couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Hey, where are we going?"

"To send you to hell!" the girl replied.

"What did you say?" The delinquents stopped and looked at the girl in surprise.

"Alright, since you chose this place, let's make it your grave," the girl said, turning around. Her face, which had been cold and distant, now showed a radiant smile, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

"What are you going to do?" Suzuki asked in a low voice, looking at the girl's unusual demeanor.

Even at this point, they still didn't think the girl could do anything to them.

"Kill you," the girl said, her voice filled with suppressed excitement, and she pulled out a bamboo sword from her bag.

No, it wasn't a bamboo sword. What she pulled out wasn't a bamboo sword but a real sword that could cut through flesh.

With a flash of the blade, a gush of blood shot up. The first to be hit was Suzuki, the leader, who was cut in half at the waist. Despite being cut in half, he didn't die immediately but lay on the ground in the alley, groaning in pain.

The girl, no, it was Hyouka Koyomi. The girl was Hyouka Koyomi.

Hyouka Koyomi charged at the remaining delinquents. Before they could react, she cut each of them in half in quick succession.

Finally, as she watched the few of them, now only half alive, writhing and groaning on the ground, Hyouka Koyomi first laughed softly, then burst into a maniacal laugh.

"You scum of society, you all deserve to die! Killing you is just, I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong," Hyouka Koyomi shouted madly, raising her sword.

"Even though you all deserve it, I won't let you suffer for long. I'll help you find peace!" Suppressing her desire to watch them die in agony, Hyouka Koyomi swung her sword.

With a series of thuds, several heads rolled, and Hyouka Koyomi ended their suffering.
