<Academic Checkup> / Utaha and Eriri

Although these yakuza members themselves didn't understand why they were fighting with a stranger late at night.

However, Fushimi Makoto's instigation was very persuasive; within a few words, the yakuza organization, plagued by a severe aging population, decided to start a fight.

This group of yakuza members were thinking: I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, I only know that I'm going to go on a killing spree tonight!

There was also a very funny scene during that time.

Once Nino Divine Power took effect, the older men influenced by Fushimi Makoto grabbed baseball bats and headed out first, followed by a white-haired man with a cane, his face full of fighting spirit.

His leg injury was probably quite serious, as he looked pained with every step he took with his crutches, and his tattooed neck tilted slightly due to the pain, yet he was also filled with fighting spirit at that moment.

So much so that he walked with a limp, his face sometimes contorted in pain and sometimes serious, an expression that could easily become excellent material for a meme on Bilibili.

I wonder if this guy's cane will fly around wildly when he's fighting.

After doing all this, Fushimi Makoto left quietly.

That night, the police station's phone lines were ringing off the hook.

However, those who called the police were mostly bystanders and customers inside the bar.

The worst off was the bar owner who wanted to Fushimi Makoto.

At first, when only one or two yakuza groups came to fight, the bar owner's employees were able to put up a fight.

But as more and more yakuza members joined the fight, the bar staff all ran away, leaving only the owner to take the beating.

"So you're the one called Hira Shugo?" the yakuza members asked while fighting.

When the police arrived and arrested the perpetrators, the owner, whose two legs had been broken, cried out in distress, "I don't know them at all! They stormed into my bar tonight and started beating me without saying a word. They even had a picture of me with them, and they were specifically targeting me. I suspect I've been set up by some powerful entity!"

The group of yakuza members who had been instigated to come put down their weapons and said to the police with blank expressions, "We don't know why we came to fight him. It seems like we heard some exciting speech? But we had a great time tonight, officers, you can arrest me now."

The bar owner cried even louder, "Is this your reason for showing me photos and beating me up? Are you kidding me? This is outrageous!"

Fushimi Makoto returned to his room to take care of his clothes when there was a knock on the door.

Two beautiful women stood outside the door.

Upon Fushimi Makoto this scene, Sawamura Sayuri must know something.

So he didn't hide anything. "I didn't do anything extra, I just helped Mr. Hira Shugo make a name for himself, and he should be very happy to have become a celebrity now."

"So how did you start it?" Sawamura Sayuri asked curiously.

"It wasn't me who made a name for it; it was other yakuza groups who helped him gain notoriety. I bet the baseball bat made a really loud noise when it hit the ground."

"???"

Although Mrs. Yukinoshita was also curious, she preferred to see Fushimi Makoto in peace.

Since the other party had returned, it meant that the matter had been resolved smoothly, so she didn't ask any more questions and pulled her curious best friend back to the room.

Before they left, Fushimi Makoto specifically reminded them, "If you want to know more details, you can turn on the local video feature tonight; perhaps you'll find the details you're looking for there."

Late that night, Mrs. Yukinoshita and Sawamura Sayuri watched the live video for a long time.

Even late into the night, they still seemed unable to recover from the shock.

"How did Makoto manage to persuade these violent gang members to fight?" Sawamura Sayuri was full of questions.

Mrs. Yukinoshita was equally bewildered. "Perhaps... personal charm?"

No, this is the Nino Divine Power.

Fushimi Sekisuke, who had deliberately covered himself with his senses, thought to himself.

Chapter 296 <Checking Academic Performance>

The following morning, the "gangster clash" that occurred the previous night topped the trending search lists on major platforms.

Such a large-scale brawl involving so many people couldn't possibly be reported by only a few media outlets; rather, it would involve media from all over the country.

Media outlets from various cities brought their equipment and drove over almost overnight.

After a night of fermentation, the incident could no longer be contained. Even though the police did not want the attention to explode, they could not stop the fervor from reaching the reporters from all over the country and the passersby who filmed the scene last night.

The most popular image was a close-up of the bar owner, Hira Shugo, crying.

His tearful, aggrieved expression in front of the reporter's camera, combined with his bruised and swollen face, was truly comical.

What netizens found most hilarious was his tearful complaint to the reporter. "I swear I absolutely did not offend any of those violent gangs. Last night, I was eating and singing in my own bar when suddenly a group of people rushed in, pinned me to the ground, and started beating me. While they were beating me, they kept asking me if I was a good fighter, daring to declare war on them. But the problem is, I don't even know them..."

In just one morning, the interview video of this bar owner crying his heart out was edited and parodied.

As for the yakuza members who beat him up, this is what they said in an interview, "Although we didn't know him, we had a lot of fun beating him up... What? You're asking why we beat him up? To be honest, I don't know either. Maybe he's a natural punching bag, otherwise why would we come out to beat him up in the middle of the night? Last night I even saw a lame old man swinging his cane like a whirlwind, the cane in his hand was leaving afterimages, at least six strikes per second!"

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Fushimi Makoto and his group discussed the news in the lobby downstairs.

Nakano Ichika and the others were laughing very happily.

They recognized the bar's name; it belonged to the same group that had caused trouble for Fushimi Makoto yesterday.

"It must be because he offended too many people in the past, otherwise why would so many yakuza organizations work together?" Nakano Ichika laughed nonstop while holding her phone.

Nakano Nino laughed as well, "Do you think it's possible that the reason they started the fight was like in the movies, fighting over territory, and that this group wanted to take over that boss's property?"

"Nino- kun, the news says this owner only has two bars, not just two streets. No yakuza organization would do something so irrational, and besides..."

Yukino calmly analyzed the situation, then casually raised her phone to show a video of the old man with the cane wreaking havoc.

The video footage wasn't very clear and was shaky, clearly taken by a passerby with a shaky hand.

Yukino pointed at the video, her tone quite subtle. "I watched this video very carefully. This old man clearly has difficulty walking, and his face shows signs of pain, yet he still ran over and hit someone while leaning on his cane."

"Yes, yes, I saw the video too. This old man is hilarious. He was hitting someone while yelling that it hurt, as if he was the one being hit." Nakano Nino laughed so hard she bent over.

Yukino nodded helplessly. "For an elderly disabled person to come all this way to fight, it can only be a personal grudge, and a very serious one at that."

The girls all agreed that it made sense.

Mrs. Mrs. Yukinoshita and Sawamura Sayuri tacitly remained silent.

Compared to the girls who were just watching the drama unfold, these two were the ones who actually knew the truth.

Because they knew the inside story, they were unable to participate in the discussion with a normal mindset.

Because in their view, the whole story was simply too outrageous.

They spent the entire night trying to figure out how Fushimi Makoto had managed to persuade those members of the yakuza organization.

They even sent disabled people!

The two beautiful women turned their heads again in unison, their gazes falling simultaneously on Fushimi Makoto.

However, Fushimi Makoto seemed oblivious, and was happily gossiping next to Nakano Ichika.

Since things have come to this, let's eat some fruit to calm our nerves.

Mrs. Yukinoshita picked up a piece of diced apple, took a bite, and kept stealing Fushimi Makoto out of the corner of her eye.

She really wanted to know about introverts.

But now she's hesitant to be alone with him.

Although they usually interact as friends of the same generation, what if she uses that guise to gather information, and ends up disappearing from the group?

As for inviting Sayuri to bolster his image?

That's even worse.

Sawamura Sayuri's face is now like a thorn stuck in Mrs. Yukinoshita's heart.

Unless she loses her memory and forgets those beautiful cries one day, this thorn will always remain deeply embedded in her heart.

After all, Sawamura Sayuri had questioned her before, and she had been nervous several times.

Who would have thought that they had already rushed off to steal the crystal, while we were still guessing...

Sawamura Sayuri was indeed eager to find out more, but the matter had become too big a fuss, and she didn't want more people to know about it. Therefore, she could only suppress her curiosity and pretend that she knew nothing.

After lunch, seeing the incident gaining more and more attention and more and more reporters arriving from all directions, Nakano Ichika and her friends finally couldn't resist and decided to go to the scene to watch the drama unfold.

Even Eriri Spencer Sawamura quickly changed her clothes and went out with her.

The hype surrounding this event was just too explosive, and they happened to be nearby, making it difficult to resist going to the scene to witness the drama.

Fushimi Makoto naturally wouldn't go.

Yukino wasn't very interested either, so she stayed as well.

Besides the two of them, there was one other person who didn't go out either.

That's Nakano Nino.

But she didn't stay to discuss the shootout with Fushimi Makoto.

"Makoto, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

In Fushimi Makoto's room, Nakano Nino's cheeks were flushed, and she looked extremely awkward, with embarrassment in her eyes.

"If you don't want to talk about it, you can wait until you've thought it through." Fushimi Makoto sensed her deep inner turmoil.

Nakano Nino remained silent for a moment, then suddenly got up to close the door.

Fushimi Makoto saw this commotion, he thought he was about to be checked on his studies. But when she ran back, he saw her with her head down and her eyes darting around, whispering, "I had a really strange dream the night before last."

Fushimi Makoto caught the key words: night, strange dream.

It must have been that night.

"What kind of dream was it?" Fushimi Makoto ignorance.

Nakano Nino blushed even more. "It's the kind of thing that can't be said out loud."

"I understand, it's not serious."

"... Could you please not say it?"

Nakano Nino looked up, embarrassed and annoyed. Their eyes met, and she stammered, "Um, this isn't the first time I've had this kind of dream. Do you think I'm... turning bad?"

As she spoke, her face showed hesitation, and her plump legs came together.

Fushimi Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

So, it turns out they still need to check academic performance.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. She had planned a night raid before coming out, but Yukino's strict checks thwarted her plan.

She just happened to have had some embarrassing dreams these past couple of days, so she'll probably be feeling incredibly ashamed when she wakes up this morning.

So, under the pretext of confiding in someone about her dreams, and while everyone else was out gossiping, she could finally have some fun.

Chapter 297 Utaha and Eriri Spencer Sawamura

Because of the large number of people involved, this brawl between yakuza members is destined to remain a hot topic for a long time.

The bar owner whose image was turned into a meme will also continue to be famous.

Under normal circumstances, his nationwide popularity would be enough for him to make money through live streaming.

However, he worried that if he went live, the yakuza members who had beaten him would take it as a provocation, so he had no choice but to give up the popularity.

As for Fushimi Makoto single-handedly in his bar, he had long since forgotten about him.

Is his one-against-twenty performance comparable to my being ganged up on by forty people?

No, I don't think so.

After their trip, Fushimi Makoto and his group resumed their busy lives.

They're starting to build hype for their new short film.

This time, not only was Mrs. Yukinoshita in charge of the publicity, but Sawamura Sayuri also joined in without hesitation.

In her words, "This is the first major event in my daughter's life that she has participated in, and she has also made a group of trustworthy friends. How could I possibly stand idly by?"

Sayuri chuckled coldly at this; Sayuri's ability to lie Mrs. Yukinoshita her teeth was getting better and better.

Can you honestly say that all the effort you've put into promoting this isn't because of Makoto?

Oh, I'm only taking it so seriously because of Makoto.

That's alright then.
