With no time to lose and no time to spare, Bocchi-chan had the perfect timing, the perfect location, and the perfect people. If she wasn't going to act now, when would she?
She put on all black clothing, sunglasses, and a mask, ensuring she was completely covered before tiptoeing out of her house. She arrived at the entrance of the unmanned adult store, then looked left and right, confirming no one was around before darting inside like lightning, ripping aside the curtain. She was practically a modern-day ninja.
However, Bocchi, who usually went to bed early out of boredom, never expected that late at night was when the fun truly began, and when hormones were at their peak.
A young couple was inside the store, being all lovey-dovey. They were holding a small box they had just taken from the vending machine, and the sickly sweet smell of romance filled the entire store.
"You're not sleeping tonight," the woman, who was overweight, said with a smile as she traced her finger along the man's chin.
"Tonight, I'll definitely... definitely satisfy you..." the man, who was thin, pale, and delicate, smiled.
At that very moment, Bocchi burst in like a robber! She half-crouched, striking a pose she thought was cool.
The couple was startled, let out a scream, and then clung to each other, trembling.
In the cramped adult store, they looked at each other, and the atmosphere immediately fell silent.
Goto Hitori: ...
Young Couple: ...
It's over, someone's actually here...
At that moment, Goto Hitori felt her legs go weak. The immense embarrassment made her feel like she should find a hole to crawl into, or just die on the spot.
"Ah, ah..." Goto Hitori opened her mouth, wanting to say something, to try and explain.
But her mind was completely blank, and she couldn't utter a word.
"Are... are you trying to rob us?"
The delicate man asked tremblingly.
"Ah..."
Goto Hitori's mind quickly analyzed his words, and then, for some reason, she suddenly admitted it:
"Yes, I'm... I'm robbing you!"
Goto Hitori wanted to pull something out of her clothes to use as a weapon, but she couldn't find anything. So, she simply pointed at them and shouted.
"I... I don't have any money. This is my landlord, you, you, you... rob her!"
The delicate man pointed at the woman he was holding.
"I, I don't have any money either!" The woman also had no fighting spirit, but her large arm protected her money pouch.
However, Goto Hitori continued to approach them step by step.
The couple trembled like sieves.
Then, Goto Hitori walked up to them and suddenly lunged, snatching the small box they had just bought from the vending machine.
Finally, she bolted, escaping the unmanned adult store as fast as lightning.
Now, this box of unspeakable items she had robbed was in her pocket.
Wuwuwu... What have I done? Goto Hitori cried silently in her heart.
A robber who didn't rob anything but this one box.
And even though she had entered the adult store, she still had no idea how the purchasing process worked. She didn't even know where the vending machine was located...
The only stroke of luck was that this robbery didn't attract the police, otherwise her life would be ruined.
The robbery itself was minor; the real problem was robbing condoms!
This embarrassing incident would be buried deep in her heart forever!
Yes, it had to be buried deep in her heart!
It's just... why does it feel like after experiencing this embarrassing event, her skill for spreading negative emotions is on the verge of breaking through?
Goto Hitori couldn't help but clutch her head. >﹏<
She arrived at the beach. The sun was bright, and it was a bit hot.
Tsukikawa Shu sat on the sand, shirtless, gazing into the distance.
Today was indeed a good day to go out, but it was a bit of a bummer that the opening of the Inner World was approaching.
"What a shame, I'm so handsome but I can't attract any other girls," Tsukikawa Shu said, looking at the empty beach.
"You should steer clear of women outside. I don't want to deal with those promiscuous women," Hiratsuka Shizuka said as she walked over, having changed into her clothes.
Behind her, Goto Hitori followed two steps behind, meekly hiding behind Hiratsuka Shizuka.
This beach had been booked by Hiratsuka Shizuka. Although she wasn't from a wealthy family, she was still a discreetly rich woman.
She was beautiful, highly educated, wealthy, emotionally intelligent, and acted with propriety. On top of that, she was skilled in music, martial arts, and other areas.
"Hmm... No wonder she's still single. It's really hard to find a suitable partner."
Tsukikawa Shu looked Hiratsuka Shizuka up and down.
She was wearing a pure white string bikini with a beautiful pattern, which perfectly accentuated her mature charm.
"What are you talking about?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka, hearing Tsukikawa Shu's words, smiled and looked down at Tsukikawa Shu sitting at her feet, then annoyedly ruffled his hair. "Aren't you mine now?"
Goto Hitori, meanwhile, stood behind Tsukikawa Shu with her arms crossed, too nervous to move.
She had actually put on the school's old-style swimsuit, and it even had her name on the front…
Tsukikawa Shu also narrowed his eyes, looking at her meaningfully.

"Hmm, it really has Bocchi's vibe," Tsukikawa Shu nodded.
"Stop looking at me!"
Goto Hitori felt like crying.
Even though she knew this situation might happen, it was still so embarrassing!
"Goto…"
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Goto Hitori's outfit with mixed emotions and then looked back at Tsukikawa Shu. "Is she usually like this?"
"Yeah, she's usually like this," Tsukikawa Shu nodded. "It's normal."
"Poor child, you don't even have money for a new swimsuit."
Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Goto Hitori's head. "I'll buy you a few when we get back."
"It's not like that…"
Goto Hitori was very embarrassed.
It was simply because her social anxiety prevented her from going into a swimsuit store.
Every time a saleswoman greeted her enthusiastically and started introducing products, she would get so nervous she couldn't speak.
"Actually, I think this looks pretty good."
Tsukikawa Shu seemed indifferent. "It really brings out a pure vibe."
"R-really? Hehe…" Goto Hitori touched her head.
"Yeah, I didn't expect Hitori to be so well-endowed at first either,"
Hiratsuka Shizuka also assessed Goto Hitori's chest. "It's a shame not to wear a sexy swimsuit with this kind of figure."
"Sexy… uh, I don't think I need that, I don't think I'd suit it…"
Goto Hitori thought about herself in a swimsuit.
She felt no pride in her chest at all, only a sense of future tension and embarrassment.
"I think this is fine, purity is pretty good too…"
Goto Hitori continued to touch her head, feeling a little shy.
"Yeah, I agree," Tsukikawa Shu said.
"Right? Hehe…" Goto Hitori giggled foolishly.
"So, don't you think you should take some action too?" Tsukikawa Shu looked at her.
"Huh?"
Goto Hitori was still dazed.
It wasn't until Tsukikawa Shu stood up and walked towards her that she gradually understood what he intended to do.
"Wait… I… I need to go back and get something, I can't right now… Ah!"
Goto Hitori let out a scream, but Tsukikawa Shu had already embraced her, and she couldn't escape.
"It's okay, it's okay, I brought it."
Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her mouth, holding two items in her other hand, and walked closer with a smile.
Before the day's activities even began, the three of them were likely to be exhausted.
[Time until Inner World opens: 4:00]
In the spacious hall, all personnel had arrived. The Shuchiin Academy students were chatting and laughing as usual, while their hired bodyguard players stood by their sides.
Basically, everyone hired at least one bodyguard, ranging from level 10 to 15. Most of them looked burly, and some were clearly from military or thug backgrounds.
The beginner phase in the Inner World is difficult to get through. Only those who are naturally agile or physically strong can deal with more monsters and gain more experience to level up.
Several maids entered, serving tea and water to the people in the living room, and also brought pastries and fruit.
The Inner World was about to begin, and the Elite Committee had already made thorough preparations, ready to make a big splash in the Inner World and seize resources.
Nita Goichi stood with two burly men. One of them was Kyuutake Itsuki, whose bare arms were covered in tattoos on his bronze skin. He was originally a yakuza enforcer, a top fighter, and had found himself thriving in the Inner World, gaining a large amount of experience by hunting players, and had now reached level 15.
The other man was not as large, but he wore a military uniform. Nita Goichi had spent a significant amount of money to hire this retired special forces soldier from a notorious mercenary group. He had a pistol and a combat knife holstered on his belt, and his name was Miyamoto Daichoku. His level was also 15.
For enforcers and soldiers, a place like the Inner World naturally gave them an advantage over other players. They were among the fastest to develop, but no one knew how much blood had been spilled by their hands.
As for Nita Goichi, none of that mattered. On the contrary, these were exactly the kind of people he needed.
His goal was to develop rapidly within the Inner World, which included seizing resources and hunting players. It would be troublesome if someone too righteous showed up.
Besides their levels, what Nita Goichi valued most was that both of them possessed rare-grade weapons and each had unique skills.
Kyuutake Itsuki wielded a machete, and his skill allowed him to double his attack power and speed for ten seconds. His base level was already enough to threaten most players, and after doubling his combat power with his skill, he became unrivaled, even capable of killing monsters several levels above him.
Miyamoto Daichoku had a rare-grade pistol and a fine-grade military dagger, giving him an advantage in both ranged combat and close-quarters fighting. His skill was an agile movement technique that not only reduced fall damage from heights and increased speed but also granted greater shooting accuracy during high-speed movement, making him unpredictable when launching surprise attacks.
"I have to say, Shuchiin Academy has a lot of beautiful girls."
Kyuutake Shu, who was originally involved in the yakuza, looked at the female students in the hall, licked his parched lips, and smiled.
"I think you should hold back a bit. The students here are not someone you can touch."
Nita Goichi reminded him, then glanced at the others sitting at the other end, calmly taking a sip of coffee.
In his opinion, there was nothing in this world that money couldn't solve. If there was, he'd just double the amount!
It was the same for players in the Inner World; as long as the money was sufficient, even high-level players were willing to grovel at his feet.
"I understand, I understand. I'll do whatever the young master says."
