Sakura Hibiki opened her eyes wide.
Fat? Where is she fat?
Although compared to Zhu Mei next to her, she had a slightly yellower complexion, a shorter build, and a little bit of extra fat on her stomach and legs, even if she couldn't be called slender, she certainly couldn't be associated with 'fat', right?
If I really had to nitpick, I'd say I'm just... a little chubby!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
A cloud of black mist seemed to rise from his body.
Zhu Mei, standing next to her, was somewhat hesitant to speak.
"Fu... sound, calm down, it's only 100,000 yen, I'll cover it."
Thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing is also related to her.
Because she keenly sensed that the other party seemed to be doing it on purpose.
Even if I'm wrong, it was she who suggested coming to the bar today.
They never expected that such a despicable person would be in the bar recommended by Mr. Jie Xiong, and that they would happen to run into him.
"Himuro, judging from your expression, do you know those two girls over there?"
The bar not far away.
Yato watched the spectacle with great interest while glancing at the bartender.
"No, I don't know him, but I think I've heard Jie Xiong mention him."
As Himuro Ryo spoke, his gaze shifted.
"Jie Xiong? I remember now, is he the coach at Baiyin Gym? I've been there twice, and he gave me a lot of advice on equipment purchases."
Yato recalled.
Then, he glanced at Himuro Ryo.
"Want to help?"
“If it’s someone recommended by Jie Xiong, then I have no reason not to take care of him. Besides, that guy dared to cause trouble on my turf, so I have to let him know what will happen to him.”
Himuro Ryo's expression was calm, without any obvious anger, but the low pressure emanating from him was so terrifying that even mosquitoes and flies dared not approach.
As he said this.
Things suddenly changed.
It's Yagura Hibiki.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally she couldn't hold back anymore.
"asshole!"
He threw a right punch at the man.
In the eyes of professionals, the technique of this punch was extremely crude; even a normal person would probably be better at fighting than her.
However, the power contained in this punch far exceeded the imagination of the onlookers.
It's no exaggeration to say that the air itself was blown apart!
The frivolous man's weight of over 100 pounds was like a large piece of trash in front of this punch. He was sent flying, over the heads of several booths, and crashed directly into the wall.
Like a boneless fish, it slowly slid to the ground.
"..."
Yato was stunned.
The drinks in my hand fell onto the table.
It smashed to pieces.
But nobody cares about him anymore.
Although the slow rock music was still playing, everyone in the bar was drawn to Hibiki Sakura.
"I say, is Jie Xiong's gym some kind of genetic modification research institute?"
"……do not know."
Himuro Ryo's expression wasn't much better than Yato's.
The way Sakura Hibiki looked at him was as if he were looking at some rare creature.
"But I'm certain this girl is no ordinary person."
"You don't have to say that."
Yato rolled his eyes, suppressing his surprise.
"Speaking of which, aren't you going to help call an ambulance or something?"
"Indeed, this is all the 'help' I can offer."
Hiiro smiled bitterly.
He had originally intended to help them out, but in the end, Hibiki Sakura single-handedly took down the other person.
It was still that terrifying punch.
Even from an outsider's perspective, it's terrifying.
He even suspected that the unfortunate frivolous man might already be dead.
"Don't worry, she's not dead yet. She hit her shoulder."
Yato said leisurely.
It was as if they could guess what he was thinking.
"Hey! What did you do to my friend?!"
The silence was broken.
Having probably noticed the unusual situation, several tall and burly men appeared in front of Sakura Hibiki and Akemi.
"Uh!"
After throwing that punch, Hibiki Sakura seemed to realize what she had done wrong. Her momentum vanished instantly, and when she heard others questioning her, she shrank back in fear.
Are there any other companions?
Himuro Ryo put down the hand towel and prepared to walk out of the bar, but was stopped by Yato.
"Let me handle this. I know those guys; they're from a local underground group. You can't reason with these idiots in a few words. And you, a bartender, shouldn't be fighting with the customers, right?"
"...beat them harder."
Himuro Ryo paused for a moment before speaking.
Indeed, given his status, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to get into a fight with a customer, as it would bring a lot of negative impact to the bar. If he weren't very familiar with Chairman Oya, being fired would have been inevitable.
But Yato didn't have this concern.
"I've already called the police. Let them handle it."
Pulling Sakura Hibiki behind her, Akemi stepped forward, raising her fair and graceful neck with an extremely serious expression, holding a smartphone in her hand as a warning to the other party not to do anything reckless.
But she still underestimated the courage of the people on the other side.
Although they rarely cause trouble, they are far more ruthless and cunning than ordinary thugs.
They knew that even if the police came, it wouldn't cause much of a commotion.
To put it bluntly, is fighting and brawling even a big deal?
The men snorted and prepared to take the person away first, regardless of whether the police came or not, it was no longer convenient to stay here.
Seeing the other person's actions, Zhu Mei's breath hitched, her large eyes filled with doubt. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she couldn't understand why the other person wasn't afraid of the police.
"Zhu Mei, step back."
Sakura Hibiki gritted her teeth, suppressing her unease.
I'm prepared to fight back.
The phrase "surrender" is not in her life motto.
"Alright, alright, you step back a bit too."
A hand suddenly landed on Hibiki Sakura.
The girl felt a force, not very strong but irresistible, pulling her back a few steps involuntarily.
"Wait a minute...who are you?"
Sakura Hibiki raised her head and stared blankly at the strange man who had appeared in front of her at some unknown time.
"A man who likes to fight."
Yato grinned.
He clenched his fists as he walked toward the men.
"Who are you……?!"
The same words came from the mouths of those men.
However, unlike Hibiki Sakura, their expressions weren't those of someone seeing a glimmer of hope, but rather those of someone seeing a demon.
The next moment, the bar patrons witnessed a rather exciting brawl.
Not only were several strong men utterly defeated, but...
Despite her efforts to resist, she couldn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes.
In less than five seconds, they were all lying on the ground.
It is worth mentioning that it did not cause any damage to the surrounding area.
Guests who are close by feel as if they are watching a ramen master perform a live ramen-pulling demonstration up close. It may seem tense, but in reality, the master is very skilled.
If there is an art to fighting, then this must be it.
"Wow, that's amazing...and so cool!"
Hibiki Sakura's eyes widened.
A strange emotion welled up inside me.
Can't go wrong.
"I think I'm in love."
"That's right... huh?"
Hibiki Sakura nodded subconsciously in agreement, but suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Akemi beside her.
At this moment, Zhu Mei's face was flushed.
Shortness of breath.
Something just doesn't seem right.
"Hahaha," Sakura Hibiki's lips twitched, speechless for a moment.
Chapter 24
"--Thanks for your hard work."
Soon, Yato finished dealing with the group and threw them at the door. When he returned to the bar, Himuro Ryo had already prepared a new glass of juice and gently slid it in front of him.
"Are these kinds of things happening a lot lately?" Yato picked up his juice, took a sip, and casually asked.
"No, at least this is the first time I've seen it."
Himuro Ryo denied it.
At that moment, a voice broke in.
"Excuse me, sorry to bother you."
