Ambushed and... Mistaken for Someone Else?!
The work of serving tea and water is often quite arduous, because what is being served may not just be tea, and what is being poured may not just be water.
However, perhaps because Uraraka Shige still looked like a child at the time, his serving of tea and water was merely literal and did not involve any further work or tasks.
For some unknown reason, the man with the black-rimmed glasses did not begin to use Uraraka Shige to achieve his true purpose in having Uraraka Shige join the group.
It was precisely because of this that Uraraka Shige completed her unpaid work for the day without feeling tired, and even quite easily, walked out of the office building somewhat bewildered, heading straight towards a small alley not far from the building.
Based on his observations and experience yesterday, he knew that going this way would allow him to reach the food street near the school much faster.
However, after he entered the alley, he hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard the sound of wind overhead.
Immediately afterward, in the instant he subconsciously looked up, he saw a figure appear in his field of vision, gradually growing larger and larger, before finally crashing down on him with a thud, knocking him to the ground and causing him to lose consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a room that was completely covered up, like Secret Room, and he was bound hand and foot to the back and legs of a chair with several ropes.
At the same time, I heard several slightly childish voices talking nearby.
"That damned traitor! If Kawasuke hadn't happened to be passing by and spotted him, we'd still be completely in the dark!"
"Kawasuke! You've really done a great job this time!"
"I never expected this! Kaito's always been the most proactive one, but he's the one who betrayed us!"
"The disguise was too good!"
"That's outrageous!"
A group of people seemed to be denouncing a guy named Kaito, which Uraraka Shige. However, this was not a problem, because soon, the topic of their somewhat immature conversation suddenly changed.
"Why hasn't that damned traitor woken up yet?"
It's unclear who spoke first, but it sparked a wave of agreement and consensus among the people around them.
"Yes, could this traitor have already woken up but is still pretending to be unconscious?"
"After all this tossing and turning, he should have woken up by now!"
"We checked him before; he's still breathing and hasn't suffered any fatal injuries, he's just unconscious..."
"Our time is very precious, I don't think we should waste it here with him!"
"Why don't we just splash him with cold water to wake him up!"
That's what some people say.
Then, immediately afterward, the sound of splashing water came from this small, Secret Room.
At the same moment the sound of water being splashed rang out, Uraraka Shige suddenly felt a large basin of icy liquid being poured over him, making him feel unable to breathe for a moment.
Then, in the next instant, he suddenly shook his head, splashed water off his face, and opened his eyes.
"Who was the brainless person who splashed water on me?!"
Uraraka Shige's angry roar had no deterrent effect; instead, the few men around him who sounded quite young from their voices began to mock and ridicule him.
"Tsk tsk, he was definitely faking it!"
"Looks like we should have splashed him with cold water a long time ago!"
"You despicable traitor! You deserve to have cold water poured on you!"
"Kaito! Why did you betray us?!"
"Damn it! You always looked so honest and kind, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never imagined you would betray us like this!"
"Are you just pretending Kaito the time?! Don't you care about your younger siblings?!"
Uraraka Shige was somewhat bewildered by the menacing tone of these guys, and sat there stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
"Kaito? What do you mean Kaito '?"
Then, with an even more aggressive attitude and an even angrier tone, these guys used pens to loudly question them:
"You're looking for trouble with that 'Kaito! Why did you throw cold water on me?! I'm not some Kaito! I don't even have any younger siblings!"
Those guys were taken aback by Uraraka Shige's shout, and then looked at each other for a moment. The guy who was still holding the basin threw it aside and stared at Uraraka Shige with wide eyes.
"Kaito, I never imagined you would go to such lengths to betray us? You don't even dare to admit your own identity!"
After this guy's voice rang out, the other guys also began to express their dissatisfaction with Uraraka Shige.
"Kaito! Why did you go to such lengths? Don't you even care about your younger siblings?!"
"Damn you, Kaito! I really misjudged you, Kaito!"
Their slightly immature voices gradually grew louder, and the sound even carried outside.
The next moment, a guy who looked exactly like Uraraka Shige pushed open the door and entered, questioning the guys around him in a very dissatisfied voice.
"What's wrong with me? You've all misjudged me... Oh my god!!!"
Then, when the guy who looked exactly like Uraraka Shige pushed open the door and saw Uraraka Shige tied to a chair by these guys, his initial angry and aggressive questioning of them suddenly took a 270-degree turn before he could finish, turning into an exclamation of great surprise.
When Uraraka Shige saw this person who looked exactly like him in this life, his eyes widened in an instant. He felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and after a shiver ran through his body, he suddenly understood the situation he was facing.
That's right, he was clearly mistaken by the guys who ambushed him for the guy named 'Kaito' who had just entered the house and looked exactly like him in this life.
However, among everyone present, the most surprised and astonished were not Uraraka Shige and the Kaito named Uraraka Shige in this life except for a slight difference in height. Rather, it was the Kaito who mistook Uraraka Shige for Jieren, ambushed him, brought him here, trapped him in a chair, and even verbally abused him and splashed him with cold water.
And so, an awkward atmosphere, like farting and accidentally exploding into shit, suddenly enveloped these guys.
