Rescue

Just as Kushida began to calculate her next plan, the sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the bushes gave her a clear direction for action.

Following the sound, Kushida quickly crept behind a hidden thicket and pricked up her ears to listen.

"You guys go look over there again; the scent of this perfume is getting stronger."

"The boss definitely isn't wrong. There must be a mole hiding here who's helping that woman."

"Hmph, let's see her keep her mouth shut and refuse to admit it then."

"Understood."

Peering at the Class C boys searching everywhere outside, the original Kushida might have been frightened and at a loss, but now, not only was she not afraid, her expression grew increasingly dark.

"Tch~ what a useless woman, getting discovered so quickly."

"But since you haven't snitched yet, I'll let this great beauty save you myself this time, just to pay back the favor from last time, hehe~"

After speaking, Kushida began to briefly observe her surroundings.

After confirming that there was only one person guarding each of the three paths that led out of the area where Kobayashi was trapped.

Kushida licked her slightly dry lips; though she had been a little worried, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself now.

The people searching for her inside looked physically fit, but were those thin guys guarding the exits really just there to make up the numbers?

"And leaving only one person to guard each exit? I'm really being underestimated, hehe~"

Looking at the three boys who looked none too bright, standing blankly at their respective exits with expressions of forced labor, she could even imagine how many people in Class C truly willingly acknowledged Ryuen Kakeru.

Without further thought, her gaze turned vicious, and she immediately locked onto the eastern exit where the nearest blonde man with a buzz cut was stationed, then crept closer.

At this moment, the blonde man, who had been forced by Ryuen Kakeru to work the night shift, had no idea that danger was approaching.

Just as he was thinking about how to slack off, he had opened his phone to take a peek at an inspirational video he hadn't finished watching in his room. He sighed helplessly and prepared to relieve himself to ease his stiff posture.

However, because he had turned his back completely, he would never have imagined that in this very instant, in the dark of night, a shadow with flashing purple eyes had already struck at his neck with a hand-blade.

"Bang!"

A heavy, muffled sound rang out. As the dust settled, just as Kushida thought she had succeeded, she didn't expect the blonde man's perception to be so extraordinary; at that moment, he had instinctively blocked behind him with one hand.

"Heh, got careless." Kushida smiled coldly.

"It seems the guys Ryuen Kakeru sent to guard the exits really aren't as simple as they look."

She lightly twisted her neck and heels. For this group of Class C boys who had no martial arts skills to speak of.

Having learned some martial arts in middle school while trying to compete with Horikita Suzune, Kushida felt that even though she wasn't confident in taking on a whole group, she was certain she could retreat unscathed, especially with her dark side taking over.

Just as Kushida expected the opponent to shout for his companions and prepared herself to run, her face twitched instinctively the next second.

The blonde man who had just blocked her was now standing there like a wooden puppet, unable to move.

Looking closely, she realized the painfully twisted expression on his face, and one hand was trembling as it clutched his crotch.

At this moment, she seemed to understand something...

It turned out that the blonde man who had just blocked Kushida had been forcibly interrupted the very moment he started to relieve himself~

Already in unbearable pain from the shock of having to hold it back, he had turned around to block, only to find the ghost-like purple eyes reflecting in the dark night, which made his whole body tense up violently once more...

"Urgh~"

A hoarse sound escaped him, and a visible pallor spread across his face.

Pain~ an indescribable pain~

Watching the stunned blonde man collapse straight down while clutching his crotch, Kushida was speechless; she hadn't expected this result at all.

But saving the person was the priority now, so she didn't dwell on it.

She quickly ran out of the encirclement and used her phone's contact location tracker to find that the last call Ibuki Mio had made was from a mountain path that the school hadn't finished building yet.

And it was at least ten miles away from here.

"Heh, this woman actually ran that far; her stamina is really not bad."

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

Kushida smiled faintly; she could naturally guess that the other party had deliberately lured some people away to increase her own chances of escape.

"But in the end, who is saving whom, woman~ hehe..."

In the night, the girl's figure leaped into the air, once again slipping into the darkness like the wind, disappearing without a trace~

Just like that, she didn't know how much time had passed, but when the full moon above was completely swallowed by clouds.

In the mountain path she had previously located, a cunning figure of a girl broke out from the bushes.

Although it had taken quite a bit of time, fortunately, she had already set up an automatic capture camera there in advance, so even if she was a step late, she could still collect some useful information.

Opening her phone, it was just as she had thought: the location of Sudo Ken and his group was already approaching Koenji.

Although it was a pity she couldn't witness it with her own eyes, as long as she could lure Ryuen Kakeru into the battle, this operation wouldn't be a loss.

Thinking of this, just as Kushida was about to continue forward, she discovered another Class C boy collapsed on the road.

Looking at the man drenched in sweat with stars in his eyes, Kushida was too lazy to even ask; she knew it must be another guy who had followed Ibuki Mio and collapsed halfway due to exhaustion.

She couldn't help but curl her lip, adjusted her breathing, and headed deeper inside once more.

This time, it didn't take long, perhaps because the end of the mountain path was already the sea.

Before long, Kushida heard the sounds of a frantic struggle echoing through the mountains, accompanied by a man's smug whispers.

"Little traitor, why stop fighting? You're usually so arrogant, aren't you?"

"I... I told you, I'm not a traitor, cough, cough~"

Ishizaki twisted his wrists, his knuckles popping incessantly. As he watched the girl clutching her stomach and backing away, his gaze gradually turned lecherous.

"Heh heh, the boss told you to stay in the house and wait for the guys outside to send word. Why did you run?"

"You... you piece of trash, how dare you say that? If you hadn't used those dirty tactics to force me, would I have run?" Ibuki gritted her teeth, glaring at him with fury.

"Hmph, still daring to curse me? I felt like something was off about the way you talked back when you had amnesia."

"I originally only wanted to give you a simple punishment, but since you insist on running to this desolate place without any surveillance, I guess I'll just have to upgrade your punishment, heh heh."

As he spoke, Ishizaki actually began to strip off his clothes, closing in on her.

Having already exhausted her stamina while dealing with those small fries on the way, Ibuki was clearly at the end of her rope after the bout with Ishizaki.

"Get lost... you ugly thing, how dare you!" Ibuki grabbed a rock and hurled it at him with all her might.

"Yo, how come even your rock-throwing has no strength left, little traitor~"

Seeing the rock easily dodged by her opponent, she found her back already against the sea.

Just as she was falling into despair and contemplating death to preserve her dignity, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Kushida Kikyo, who had snuck up behind Ishizaki.

With a subtle exchange of glances, Ibuki's expression shifted, and she instantly understood the other girl's intention.

Therefore, she immediately feigned despair and said, "You... don't come any closer! This is a crime! You'll be expelled and sent to prison! Have you lost your mind?"

Seeing this, Ishizaki, a lifelong virgin, couldn't help but grin lecherously: "Heh heh, nowhere to run now, right? A traitor like you trying to scare me? Once I get the solid evidence tonight, I'll have you expelled immediately. Who do you think will believe your words outside?"

"Little traitor, I might as well tell you—you probably don't know that before we even enrolled, the boss and the others had already done this more than once. Do you think this world is as simple as you imagine? Heh heh."

"You..." Ibuki Mio was left speechless.

Seeing this, Ishizaki gave a lecherous smile, subconsciously lowering his guard as he prepared to close in and commit his foul deeds.

Kushida, who had been listening with a belly full of rage, realized she had collected enough of the recording. Unable to hold back any longer, she let out a loud shout, seized the opportunity to flash out, and delivered a full-force flying kick directly toward his most vulnerable spot.

"You perverted freak, suffer the consequences of your actions!"

"Bang!"

"Crack~"

Without any surprise, the next second, a crisp sound like an eggshell shattering rang out.

"Ugh...!"

The agony of this moment was something only Ishizaki, who stood with his mouth and eyes wide open but unable to make a sound, could truly comprehend...

If you can't find the book title, try searching for the author; maybe it just changed its name!
