It seems all the Crows of Suzuran have fallen into a misconception, even Miyazaki Tatsui. That is, the battle for supremacy can only begin in the Third Year.
Even Miyazaki Tatsui fell into this misconception. The reason why others start their battles for supremacy in Third Year is simply because they lack the strength, but he and the Crow Corps have no such issues whatsoever.
If Gora Toru hadn't tried to recruit them, he wouldn't have even thought about this problem. Wouldn't such a great youth just be wasted then?
The two arrived at the school gate. Miyazaki Tatsui got on his motorcycle, took Makise Takashi with him, and headed towards Makise Takashi's repair shop. Seeing the two leave, Kudo Ryosuke did an immediate drift and followed them.
Makise's repair shop wasn't far from Suzuran; they arrived in about ten minutes. Miyazaki Tatsui looked at the cars on both sides, and they didn't look at all like what Makise Takashi described: excellent performance and maximum comfort.
The two stopped their vehicles and walked to a dilapidated car. Miyazaki Tatsui thought it was just a customer's car brought in for repairs, but Makise Takashi patted the hood and said with a smile,
"Look, this is the car I modified. Excellent performance, maximum comfort, and most importantly, it only costs 90,000 yen."
Miyazaki Tatsui didn't even look; he turned and walked outside.
Seeing this, Makise Takashi quickly pulled him back and said with a smile,
"I haven't finished yet, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Miyazaki Tatsui stopped and pointed to his nose.
"Who am I? I'm a damn rich second generation."
Then he pointed at the Toyota Century Kudo Ryosuke was driving,
"That car costs four million, and I have two of them. One for the butler and one for the bodyguard. Are you kidding me by asking me to buy your car?"
Makise Takashi looked at Miyazaki Tatsui. He only thought that this guy didn't care about money, but he hadn't considered that he might not be interested.
"Then how about this, I'll sell it to you for one million?"
Miyazaki Tatsui said nothing. He got on his motorcycle, and with the roar of the engine, Miyazaki Tatsui and Kudo Ryosuke left the repair shop without any hesitation.
Makise Takashi watched the two departing with a helpless expression, sighing inwardly. It seemed he needed to find a salesperson, otherwise, he couldn't even manage to sell to friends properly.
Thinking these thoughts, he walked alone towards a distant bar.
On the other side, Miyazaki Tatsui returned to school, taking Yamashima Ryohei and the Crow Corps to the newly purchased villa to hold a welcoming party for Yamashima Ryohei.
Meanwhile, Suzuran was in an uproar. Gora Toru was instantly defeated by Miyazaki Tatsui, and the Crow Corps announced that they would unify Suzuran in a week. Those who didn't want to join them would face a showdown on the sports field a week later.
When Gora Toru woke up and heard the news, his face darkened. If Suzuran was truly unified by a Second Year, who became the Boss.
Then all of them, the Third Years, would be a disgrace to Suzuran.
In the swimming pool, the Kozaki Trio, who had been waiting for hope, were completely distraught after hearing the news. The opportunity had arrived, but with the Crow Corps' declaration, they would face something even more humiliating than not reaching the top.
So they strongly urged Kaburagi Kazeo to join the alliance.
The Third Years almost unanimously formed an alliance, and the number of people who voluntarily joined the war reached around one hundred seventy-nine. (PS: Due to an oversight earlier, I misestimated the number of people in one year, so I'll just use over two hundred people. I hope everyone doesn't mind.)
As for the First Year, sixty-seven people from classes A and B announced their allegiance to the Crow Corps. Kagami Ryohei, upon hearing the news, chose to lead classes D and G to subdue class C and announced his joining the alliance. However, only about fifty people were willing to follow him; the rest either announced their allegiance to the Crow Corps or became free agents.
In the swimming pool, Kozaki looked at Kaburagi Kazeo and said,
"Even if you don't want to fight for supremacy, you can't stand idly by in the face of the Crow Corps' challenge. You should know that if Miyazaki Tatsui achieves unification, we will be the worst generation and will be ridiculed."
Kaburagi Kazeo fell silent. Although he didn't want to fight for supremacy, if it was really as they said, it would be very embarrassing. He sighed and said,
"I'll join you, but I want to duel Miyazaki Tatsui when the time comes."
"No problem."
Just then, Gora Toru's voice came over the broadcast.
"This is Gora Toru. I believe everyone has received the challenge invitation from the Crow Corps. Please, those willing to join the alliance, gather on the sports field. Thank you all."
By this time, the events of the morning had spread throughout the campus. Although everyone was dissatisfied with Gora Toru's forceful attempt to recruit the Crow Corps, which led Miyazaki Tatsui to challenge them in his desire for a Second Year to reach the top, their alliance indeed needed to discuss countermeasures thoroughly.
So most people still came to the sports field.
When Kaburagi Kazeo arrived with the Kozaki Trio, Gora Toru's faction had already arrived, along with many free agents. In the First Year area, Kagami Ryohei was also walking towards them with his subordinates.
Yes, subordinates. For him, those who followed him couldn't defeat him, so they were naturally his subordinates, not friends.
Only those of equal strength could become friends.
The four groups arrived on the sports field and looked at each other. Gora Toru looked at Kaburagi Kazeo.
"Hey! New guy, I need you to deal with Miyazaki Tatsui with me. Given his strength, if we face him alone, we might be defeated one by one."
Kaburagi Kazeo looked and said,
"I'm enough on my own."
Because he practiced boxing, he felt that those street fights were like child's play to him. As for why he was so confident, that would be due to the Four Heavenly Kings of Honba, who were instantly defeated.
When he was still in Honba, he was tricked by his good friend Kaito into confronting the Four Heavenly Kings of Honba. In the end, due to the significant impact of the fight, he had no choice but to transfer to Suzuran.
Hearing Kaburagi Kazeo's words, Gora Toru's expression was a little displeased, but he thought that when this new guy couldn't handle it, he would just bring his executives to support him. So he nodded.
"No problem."
Then he looked at Kagami Ryohei and asked,
"What about you, kid?"
Kagami Ryohei calmly said,
"I also want to fight Miyazaki Tatsui."
Hearing this, Honda Tamotsu said with a smile,
"You? How about you defeat his junior, Yamashima Ryohei, first!"
"He is Miyazaki Tatsui's hand-picked successor in Osaka, the Boss of Nishiki Middle School."
"Although you lead three classes, he's not bad either. On the first day, he subdued two classes, including Takechi Nozomu, who has considerable strength."
Kagami Ryohei looked at Honda Tamotsu and said,
"If I have to defeat Yamashima Ryohei and then Miyazaki Tatsui, I might as well just fight Miyazaki Tatsui directly."
After saying that, he met Kaburagi Kazeo's gaze.
"Senior, let's have a fight! Whoever wins will deal with Miyazaki Tatsui."
Kaburagi Kazeo and Kagami Ryohei's eyes met. After a moment of silence, he said,
"Alright."
Finally, Kaburagi Kazeo faced off against Kagami Ryohei on the school grounds. Although Kagami Ryohei was fast, his explosive power and resilience were not proportional to his speed. In the end, Kaburagi Kazeo knocked him out with a single punch.
(P.S.: I originally wanted to pad the word count by writing about this battle, but after looking at the scene—one with high attack speed but no explosive power, the other with high explosive power but no attack speed—I decided against it. You guys don't deserve such a fate.)
After the alliance was integrated, they didn't wait for war to come. Instead, they chose to continue recruiting members. There was no other way; even with the numbers Kagami Ryohei brought, they could only barely match Miyazaki Tatsui's Crow Corps.
Although they had more executives than Miyazaki Tatsui's Four Heavenly Kings, their top-tier combat strength was definitely inferior to Miyazaki Tatsui's, requiring them to rely on numbers of executives.
Even Gora Toru, strong as he was, was taken down in three moves. Kaburagi Kazeo, who single-handedly defeated the Four Heavenly Kings of Fenba and their Boss Shibata, sounded strong, but Suzuran and Fenba were simply not on the same level.
After the Four Heavenly Kings joined Miyazaki Tatsui, they hadn't made a move. What was certain was that Kirishima Hiromi, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, withstood one of Miyazaki Tatsui's attacks at the start of the school year, while the other two were instantly defeated.
Yamashima Ryohei, on his own, subdued two classes and was also the Second Generation of the Osaka Crow Corps, so his strength was definitely formidable. Therefore, they were all working hard to recruit free agents, hoping to overwhelm some opponents with sheer numbers, and then have all their executives attack Miyazaki Tatsui.
This internal conflict at Suzuran also spread throughout Toya Liu's delinquent circles. After all, this was the first time in Suzuran's history that someone aimed to reach the top in their Second Year, not to mention he was the man who defeated Hayashida Megumi.
Moreover, the number of participants on both sides was over five hundred, meaning almost the entire school participated in this struggle for supremacy.
The day before the war began, Miyazaki Tatsui arrived at the Housen school gate.
On the day of the battle, Takiya Genji, along with several executives from the Gen Group, Katagiri Ken, and Makise Takishi, all returned to Suzuran. Serizawa also rushed over from Osaka, and some recently graduated seniors also came back to Suzuran to watch the fight.
As a result, even though the school grounds were filled with fighting members, the surrounding school buildings and the area outside Suzuran's walls were packed with onlookers.
The Armed Front, Housen High, Fenba High, Wada Second High, and other delinquent factions also came to observe.
Miyazaki Tatsui looked at the alliance opposite him, then suddenly laughed and turned to Yamashima Ryohei.
"Such a familiar scene."
Yamashima Ryohei smiled and said,
"Isn't this pretty much like the Five-Way Alliance back then?"
In the distance, Serizawa, clutching a wad of cash, shouted,
"Miyazaki, you have to work hard! I've bet everything!"
Takiya Genji, standing nearby, also shouted,
"Reach the top!"
Miyazaki Tatsui glanced at the two of them, then looked away, flicked his cigarette butt to the ground, and said with a smile,
"Crush them, unify Suzuran. Don't disappoint Senior Serizawa and Senior Genji."
As Miyazaki Tatsui spoke, the members of the Crow Corps roared and charged forward.
Logically, the members of both sides were of similar strength, but with the system's boost, all members of the Crow Corps broke through one minor level, and the corps executives broke through two minor levels.
So, as soon as they engaged, the alliance quickly found themselves in a one-sided situation, especially after Miyazaki Tatsui joined the battle.
However, shortly after he joined the fight, he noticed Kirishima Hiromi and others were surrounded by Kozaki Su's Trio and a group of delinquents. Then, Gora Toru and Kaburagi Kazeo rushed over with Gotō Akuto, Honda Tamotsu, and Takagi Tetsuji.
Miyazaki Tatsui looked at Gora Toru and said with a smile,
"Senior, are you trying to defeat me with just the number of executives?"
Gora Toru didn't speak, turning to look at Kaburagi Kazeo.
Kaburagi Kazeo looked at Miyazaki Tatsui and spoke calmly, then charged at Miyazaki Tatsui.
"Hey! I'm your opponent."
Miyazaki Tatsui watched Kaburagi Kazeo charge, retreating a few steps. He observed Kaburagi Kazeo's left and right hooks, which were full of explosive power but too slow.
He raised his left hand to block Kaburagi Kazeo's arm, then landed several heavy punches to his abdomen, followed by another heavy punch to Kaburagi Kazeo's face, sending him flying.
Without stopping, he turned and delivered a roundhouse kick, sending the pompadour-wearing Gotō Akuto, who was attempting a sneak attack, into the crowd. He then grabbed Gora Toru's incoming punch and delivered a punch to his face, causing Gora Toru to fall backward.
Miyazaki Tatsui quickly retreated, blocking Honda Tamotsu's incoming roundhouse kick with his raised hand, while simultaneously bending down to dodge another heavy punch from Gotō Akuto. He then landed a punch to the latter's abdomen.
He turned and kicked another person flying, then tilted his head to dodge a straight punch from yet another, grabbing their arm and delivering a headbutt.
Hearing the rush of wind from behind, he turned and caught Honda Tamotsu's incoming roundhouse kick, then punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground.
He punched Terashima Satoshi in the face, who was trying to sneak attack from behind, then turned and delivered a high roundhouse kick to Gora Toru's head. Instantly, all the executives who were ganging up on Miyazaki Tatsui were knocked to the ground, either unconscious or unable to get up.
Miyazaki Tatsui surveyed the battlefield. The Ebizuka Trio had already dealt with Kozaki Su's Trio. The latter three were no match for the Ebizuka Trio; although they were held back by miscellaneous soldiers, they were still injured and taken down. After defeating their opponents, The Trio immediately began clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers.
Yamashima Ryohei also severely injured and took down Kagami Ryohei. Although Kagami Ryohei was very fast, facing someone with balanced stats like Yamashima Ryohei, he was eventually worn down and defeated.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and quietly waited for victory to arrive.
The spectators on the field, seeing all the executives of the Crow Corps defeat their opponents, immediately erupted in loud cheers. Bitō Tatsuya watched this scene, then turned and left with the Housen members.
The leaders of the other delinquent organizations looked at the tall figure standing on the battlefield. The dim sky seemed to be building momentum for this Demon King, pressing down on everyone, making them unable to breathe. Someone spoke,
"What a monster."
The roar of a motorcycle sounded. Miyazaki Tatsui turned and looked at Bando Hideto, who had arrived with the New Armed Front, and asked with a calm expression,
"Are you going to break the rules again, as you did before?"
Looking at the young man's calm expression and indifferent eyes, Bando Hideto fell silent for a moment, then finally said,
"I'm leaving Suzuran."
After saying that, he turned and walked away with his members. He understood that staying in Suzuran would only lead to humiliation, especially a Suzuran unified by Miyazaki Tatsui. Not to mention recruiting people, even his current sixty-odd subordinates might leave his command.
At that point, it would truly be a wasted effort.
Serizawa and Takiya Genji looked at the current Miyazaki Tatsui, exchanged glances, and said with a smile,
"Little Miyazaki's serious side is truly intimidating!"
Miyazaki Tatsui looked at Bando Hideto in the distance, then withdrew his gaze to the alliance members who showed no signs of surrendering. He tossed his cigarette butt and muttered,
"These are the Crows! But it's time for lunch."
With that, he charged into the battlefield and began quickly clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers. As the last opposing member fell,
The Crow Corps officially reached the top, and Miyazaki Tatsui, the Great Demon King, became the standard-bearer of Suzuran. As for whether he could become the first Boss, that would depend on how many people from the Third Year and First Year would pledge allegiance to him after the war.
Watching the cheering Crow Corps, Miyazaki Tatsui lit a cigarette and shouted to everyone, "Gather at the bus by the gate."
Hearing his words, the cheers grew louder, and the group orderly followed The Trio from logistics towards the school gate.
After speaking, Miyazaki Tatsui turned to look at Serizawa and the others.
"Seniors, care to join us?"
Serizawa shook his head, smiling, "No, we need to head back."
Takiya Genji also refused.
"The victory belongs solely to you guys; we outsiders shouldn't intrude."
The others also declined. Seeing this, Miyazaki Tatsui followed the Crow Corps towards the school gate.
As for the injured from the alliance, Miyazaki Tatsui had already arranged for the infirmary staff to come and help with treatment.
The Crow Corps' injured members had their wounds tended to by the logistics team on the bus.
With everyone's departure, Miyazaki Tatsui's name completely resounded throughout Toya Liu's delinquent circles, earning him the moniker "Great Demon King Miyazaki Tatsui."
Early the next morning, Gora Toru announced the disbandment of the Gora Faction, becoming a free agent. Other Third Year factions also announced their disbandment; over 120 Third Year students joined Miyazaki Tatsui's ranks, though no cadre joined, all becoming free agents.
Kagami Ryohei of the First Year also announced his joining of the Crow Corps. Over 180 First Year students joined the Crow Corps, while more than 60 chose to become free agents. This was because they were a year below Miyazaki Tatsui and still had a chance to compete for power later. The Third Year free agents, feeling too humiliated, did not join.
At this point, the Crow Corps' numbers reached approximately 600.
Miyazaki Tatsui also became Suzuran's first Boss.
Once the situation stabilized, the long-dormant system finally showed activity, and this time, it even gave him an unexpected surprise.
Host: Miyazaki Tatsui.
Level: SSR (Top) (Max Level)
Experience: 100/100
Skill: Undefeated Legend. (As the leader of a hegemonic force, one naturally needs strong power as a foundation. You can win any battle, forging your own undefeated golden body.)
Skill: Exhortation. (As a powerful king, there must always be strong generals following by your side. The host can provide guidance to one of his officers each month. Upon completion, the officer's strength will randomly increase. Upper limit: SSS-. (Grants skill Loyalty Value: You can view the loyalty values of your subordinates.))
Corps: Crow Corps (When initiating a group battle, officers' stamina increases by 40%, and regular members' stamina increases by 20%.)
Officer Sugihara Jou: S-, Loyalty Value: 88
Officer Kirishima Hiromi: A+, Loyalty Value: 89
Officer Honjo Toshiaki: A, Loyalty Value: 87
Officer Yamashima Ryohei: A+, Loyalty Value: 94
Officer Kagami Ryohei: A, Loyalty Value: 79
Reserve Officer Torashima Yuta: A+, Loyalty Value: 99.
Member Level: C-, Overall Loyalty Value: 80
(Note: A loyalty value of 70 means willing to follow, 80 means unwavering loyalty, and 90 means steadfast loyalty unto death. Loyalty values reaching 90 will not change; others may decrease due to dissatisfaction.)
Bond: Fight to the Death (When you and your comrades are surrounded, physical pain decreases, and recovery of injuries and strength accelerates.)
Bond: Indomitable Will: (During battle, as long as you are not knocked out, resistance to blows increases by 50%, and stamina recovery increases by 20%.)
Bond: United as One: (As Suzuran's Boss, you can issue your call to the entire Suzuran, rallying all Suzuran delinquents to participate in battle.)
Bond: Affability (You naturally possess an affable charm, making it easy to become friends with anyone.)
The two extra skills given by the system are completely game-breaking; Lin Dama will probably never catch up to his strength in this lifetime.
The second skill is similar; improving an officer's strength every month means his corps will eventually be full of SSS-level individuals. Then, after graduation, he won't need to inherit Suzuki Real Estate; he can just open a security company and enter the Western market.
He could only say the system was too powerful.
Miyazaki Tatsui, hands in his pockets, chuckled mischievously. The officers following behind him unconsciously stopped, moving a little further away from Miyazaki Tatsui.
Miyazaki Tatsui oddly turned to look at them and asked, "Why are you all so far from me?"
Kirishima Hiromi smiled and said, "Being all together, it's hot."
"Oh."
Miyazaki Tatsui turned his head, suddenly noticing something amiss. He opened his panel and found Little Fatty's name prominently displayed in the last column. He strangely turned to look behind him and asked.
Moreover, this kid's loyalty value was much higher than Yamashima Ryohei's, truly worthy of being his hand-picked successor. It wasn't in vain that he bought so many snacks for this kid; he didn't disappoint him after all.
Miyazaki Tatsui wondered how Little Fatty was doing.
Now that he had unified Suzuran, Bitou Tatsuya from Housen had no intention of challenging Suzuran. As for how Miyazaki Tatsui knew Bitou Tatsuya had no intention of challenging Suzuran for now, that brings up the matter of him bringing fruits and the Crow Corps officers to Housen to hang out the day before yesterday.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles." But this guy seemed to have misinterpreted the meaning. Now, the officers of Housen and Suzuran were completely hanging out together; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them good friends.
Every two or three days, they would either have dinner at Suzuran or Housen, and sometimes even go out to play together. The two sides were incredibly familiar with each other.
Before, if someone from the opposing side appeared on the other's territory, it meant war. Now, when they saw the other side approaching, it was like, "You're here? Why bring so many things?"
It must be said that while Serizawa's one cut played a role, the system's affability was the main factor.
Now, it seemed there were no more wars. The main thing was to wait until next semester for the arrival of the hot-blooded first protagonist, Bouya Harumichi, the Crow Soul.
Then he wouldn't have to be so idle.
After all, that was the one who would destroy the Armed Front, attack Housen, conquer the Snake Head, and battle Manji. He just didn't know how the plot would unfold if Agutsu was under him every day and no one bullied Yasuda.
Or perhaps he should let Agutsu bully Yasuda, then have the Ebizuka Trio fight Harumichi, then trick Harumichi into fighting Bando Hideto, and finally lure the Armed Front into action! Would that fix the plot?
But Lin Dama had gone off to train somewhere. When he returned, could Harumichi still fight him to a draw?
As he thought about these random things, the crowd behind him watched him, sometimes chuckling strangely, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes sighing, and quietly moved even further away.
Yamashima Ryohei nudged Kirishima Hiromi.
"Look at Boss's situation. Is he getting sick from idleness? Should we go out and stir up some trouble for him?"
Kirishima Hiromi stroked his chin and said hesitantly, "Should we observe for a few days? If not, we'll go and cause some trouble for him."
Since the unification, Suzuran had fallen into a period of calm, but the Crow Corps' logistics team was incredibly busy. Minor skirmishes were all mediated and handled by the logistics team, and if they couldn't be resolved, the Four Heavenly Kings' lowest-ranked member, Sugihara Jou, would step in.
Therefore, apart from Miyazaki Tatsui who remained a slacker, the two lowest-ranked of the Four Heavenly Kings had their own tasks to do every day.
As for where the first and second ranked Four Heavenly Kings went, one must mention the skill, [Exhortation], that Miyazaki Tatsui used on Yamashima Ryohei and Kirido Hiroshi.
A few days ago, after he dragged the two to the rooftop, he gave them a severe beating, then used the two accumulated instances of [Exhortation] on them.
Finally, both broke through to S-. To clarify, Miyazaki Tatsui didn't beat them because of their ranking; rather, that's just how the Exhortation skill is used. (Of course, only clever people understood how Exhortation is used.)
After their breakthrough, the two thought that getting beaten made them stronger, so they dragged Agutsu to the rooftop for [Exhortation] training, and Kagami Ryohei voluntarily joined.
Because he felt that what the two said made sense... so the four of them stayed by the Wall of the Summit every day to train.
Although Suzuran entered a calm period, Little Fatty in Osaka was already cursing up a storm.
"Bastards, do you really think I'm a good-for-nothing? As soon as Yamashima leaves, you declare war on us? Go tell them, we'll fight at the subway station tomorrow."
Ever since Miyazaki Tatsui defeated Limit and Anping, Nishiki, which Yamashima Ryohei took over, had been peaceful for an entire year, apart from one provocation by the Devil's Descendants.
However, less than a week after he took over, people from Anping came to challenge him to a fight. After defeating Anping, Limit's new leader, Aoki Saji, came to challenge him. Right after that, two delinquent high schools from Osaka issued challenges to him.
It could be said that Little Fatty spent these past two months either in ambushes and counter-ambushes, or constantly engaging in direct battles with other forces.
Little Fatty, who originally had no reputation at all, directly became a famous strongman in Osaka. For this, the Osaka delinquent world even gave him a special honor that Miyazaki Tatsui hadn't received: a nickname.
The nickname "Peerless Ferocious Tiger" resounded throughout the Osaka delinquent world.
Because of this, more delinquents came to challenge Little Fatty. Today it was Zhang San, tomorrow it was Li Si.
What made Little Fatty uncomfortable was that, apart from the captain of the Fifth Division, Libra, none of his cadres were outstanding; they were completely at the level of normal middle schoolers.
They completely lacked the strength to become his protectors, which meant that whenever a strong challenger came, he usually had to deal with it himself.
Fortunately, the retired cadres from the First and Second Divisions, who had entered high school, often came to do grunt work for him, otherwise he would surely have been exhausted to death.
Meanwhile, in Toya Liu, because the Otsu Group had their eyes on the repair shop where Makise Takashi worked, and failed to acquire it, they had Fujiwara, who had just been released from prison, set the shop on fire.
As the flames spread through the repair shop, the dazzling firelight alarmed the Gen Group not far away. Although this wasn't their territory, Makise Takashi was there, so it wasn't long before Takiya Genji arrived with the Tendo Brothers.
Seeing Katagiri Ken and Makise Takashi trying to put out the fire, Takiya Genji pulled them out of the burning building and asked,
"Ken-ge, Makise, what's going on here?"
The two exchanged glances, and finally Makise Takashi spoke.
"It was done by people from the Otsu Group. They tried to buy the repair shop before, but we didn't agree."
"Now, only a month later, it's on fire. Although those few guys just now looked like a delinquent organization rather than yakuza, I'm sure the Otsu Group is behind it. These people might be a delinquent organization under their command."
Hearing this, Takiya Genji frowned, looking at the burning repair shop. Before long, the sound of sirens came from a distance, and firefighters quickly arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire.
Katagiri Ken, Makise Takashi, and the current owner of the repair shop, Ryo, discussed it and decided to report it as an accidental fire. Finally, the insurance company paid compensation.
The next morning, Izaki Shun and Tobe Yuji, who had come to the headquarters for work, heard what had happened. The two exchanged glances.
Then they looked at Takiya Genji and spoke in unison,
"Send people to occupy this street."
After speaking, the two paused, and Izaki Shun continued,
"Send people to occupy this street today. The reasons are already there; go under the banner of avenging Makise and the others. Anyway, we're currently in a temporary truce with the Yazaki Group, so if we want to expand, we can only target the Otsu Group."
Tendo Shinji, who was nearby, heard this and looked at Izaki Shun.
"What if the Yazaki Group attacks us?"
Tobe Yuji smiled and said,
"They won't. They're already struggling to face us and the Ryusei Association alone, and they'd be glad to have another force come in and stir things up."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We're sending him an ally!"
"As for the pressure on us if the two sides ally..."
Takiya Genji pressed his cigarette butt into the ashtray and sneered,
"Can they form a truly close alliance? I'm afraid they'll be allied on one side while thinking about how to devour each other on the other."
He turned to look at three young men playing billiards not far away. These few had joined him when he established the Gen Group, and their strength was quite good.
They were a well-known small group in the area, but they had never joined any organization.
"Yamamoto, Murashita, Kojima, the three of you go clean up some trash."
Hearing Takiya Genji's command, the three put down their billiard cues and bowed.
"Yes, Boss."
Crash—
As the shutter door was pulled open, the Otsu Group members inside were attracted by the noise and turned to look at the entrance.
They saw a young man with dreadlocks holding up the shutter door, scanning the situation inside, then asking,
"Excuse me, sorry to bother you, who is Tanaka Tomohisa?"
Hearing this, the thugs inside exchanged glances and all spoke up,
"Bastard, this isn't a place you can come to."
"Are you looking for death, bastard?"
Seeing this, Yamamoto Kazuo quickly said,
"Sumimasen, I've come to the wrong place."
After speaking, he closed the shutter door and looked at Kojima Tera and Murashita To, who were squatting nearby smoking, and said,
"About forty-something people, what do you say?"
Kojima Tera pulled a knuckle duster from his pocket, put it on, and said with a smile,
"Throw them in the trash can."
The three looked at the shutter door they had opened. Kojima Tera punched a thug, and blood immediately splattered.
As the three rushed into the room, screams and wails continuously rang out, occasionally accompanied by a few strange shouts.
The Gen Group members waiting for orders from a distance looked at each other.
"Should we go in?"
One of the minor leaders slapped the back of the questioner's head and cursed,
"Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Have you forgotten how long we were chewed out last time for going in without the Young Boss's command?"
"Just wait for me, and don't move a single one of you until you hear the command."
Ten minutes later, the shutter door opened again. The dreadlocked man, Yamamoto Kazuo, walked out, pulling up his pants, and the other two also walked out, grumbling.
Kojima Tera looked at the waiting Gen Group members nearby and said,
"Take this trash to the junkyard."
Because of the Gen Group's actions, that evening, Nara Go arrived outside the street the Gen Group had just taken, bringing Otsu Group members with him. Looking at Takiya Genji in the distance, he spoke with a grim expression,
"Hey! What's the meaning of this, Genji? You just silently come and occupy my territory."
Takiya Genji rubbed his ear, took the cigarette butt out of his mouth, and said with a smile,
"Revenge, of course? Can't you see that?"
"You had someone set fire to my brother's shop; I have to give him some explanation, don't I?"
Hearing this, Nara Go's face was very unpleasant.
"You need evidence to do things, right? You just open your mouth and say I did it. Where's the evidence?"
Hearing his words, Takiya Genji and the surrounding cadres all laughed.
"Uncle, did you leave your brain at home? We're yakuza, what do we care about evidence?"
"Even if I had evidence, why would I show it to you?"
Nara Go clenched his fists, looking at Takiya Genji.
"You want to start a war?"
Izaki Shun and Tobe Yuji stepped forward two paces, blocking most of Takiya Genji's body. Izaki Shun said with a smile,
"Can't you tell?"
After speaking, the Tendo Brothers and Kojima Tera behind him rushed out with their men.
The fluttering of a butterfly's wings ultimately cannot contend with the gears of fate.
Inside a train, Murakami Yo saw a young man in a Crow Corps uniform in the distance, stood up, and walked over with a group of people.
He was a Third Year delinquent from Suzuran, and previously a member of the Gora faction. However, due to Miyazaki Tatsui's intervention, they, who should have reached the top, lost everything, and three years of waiting became a joke.
After the Unification War ended, Gora Toru took another leave of absence to treat his eye condition at the hospital. And because of Miyazaki Tatsui's unification, no factions were allowed within Suzuran, so they became free agents.
Although they could join the Crow Corps, as Third Year seniors, how could they possibly submit to a junior? Thus, he had always harbored resentment towards Miyazaki Tatsui, but it was just that—resentment. After all, whether in terms of strength or influence, he wasn't even worthy of a glance.
Until he discovered the existence of one person: Yasuda, the invisible man of the Crow Corps.
Because the Crow Corps had its own territory and had unified the entire Second Year, all the Second Year delinquents lingered in the main building, and no one went to their classrooms.
But one member was an exception: Yasuda, the good student. Because he still needed to study, the headquarters was naturally not a suitable place for him, so he went to the classroom to study by himself.
This caught his attention. At first, he just teased him. After realizing that no members of the Crow Corps came to bother him, his boldness grew.
Finally, he found that no matter how much he bullied this kid, this bookworm never complained to the Crow Corps' executives. So, he and a few friends who hadn't joined the Crow Corps started to bully Yasuda for fun, to vent their dissatisfaction.
The group looked at the situation inside the train, found no members of the Crow Corps, and then stepped forward to surround Yasuda.
"I said, did you bring the five thousand yen, Yasuda?"
Yasuda looked at the delinquents surrounding him, his face grim as he spoke.
"Hm? You... what did you say?"
Murakami Yo stared at him and said coldly.
"What?"
"I'm talking about yesterday's laundry fee. Don't try to get away with it."
Hearing this, Yasuda's face was very unpleasant, and he spoke with a lack of confidence.
"Are... are you kidding? Hahahahaha."
"That... that was you... who spilled coffee on your own clothes!"
Hearing this, Murakami Yo turned and jokingly spoke to the delinquents behind him.
"Hey! Yasuda said he wants to stretch his muscles here. Give him a hand!"
Hearing this, Yasuda's expression changed, and he turned and ran towards the next carriage.
Murakami Yo and the others laughed and chased after him.
"Stop, don't run. We're fast, we won't delay your studies."
"No!"
He came to the next carriage, quickly turned and closed the door. Looking at the delinquents who crashed into the door, he gritted his teeth, trying hard to hold the door.
Murakami Yo angrily kicked the door and roared.
"Kid, open the door for me, now."
"If you don't open the door, I'll send you to the hospital, you bastard!"
Yasuda gritted his teeth and ignored their curses.
Just as the group was pulling and shoving, Yasuda's wallet fell out of his pocket. A young man with a golden pompadour and sunglasses on his face reached out and picked it up, saying.
"Hey! You dropped something."
Hearing this, Yasuda said urgently.
"No time for that, help me!"
Hearing this, the young man sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said.
"Hmph! Why should I help you?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he leaned his head closer to the wallet in his hand, pulled down his sunglasses a little, and carefully looked at the group photo on the wallet.
His eyes suddenly lit up, he let out a gasp of surprise, and then said.
"Alright, I'll lend you a hand!"
Because the angry shouts from the other side were too loud, Yasuda didn't quite hear clearly and said.
"Wh... what?"
The young man said.
"I said I'll help you! Open the door, no need to block it."
However, before Yasuda could clearly hear the young man's words, the door was pushed open.
Yasuda, startled, quickly let go, and at the same time, to avoid getting caught, he quickly ran backward.
Murakami Yo cursed as he walked in.
"Alright, Yasuda, prepare to die!"
After saying that, he quickly walked towards Yasuda. But at this moment, the young man spoke.
"Hold on!"
Hearing this, the group turned their attention to him. The young man was leaning lazily on the seat and continued.
"If you lay another finger on that kid, I'll kill you without question. No need for a few more words, get out of here before I make my move!"
"When it comes to fighting, I'm really good, you know~"
Hearing this, Murakami Yo and his group immediately became angry. They walked over and surrounded the young man, saying.
"Who the hell are you? You dare to put on airs with me."
Another delinquent said.
"And with golden hair, that's really tasteless."
Hearing this, the golden-haired young man pulled down his sunglasses a little, revealing his sharp eyes, and said.
"What did you just say?"
Then he stood up and said.
"It seems I still have to teach you a lesson!"
But before he could finish his sentence, his head hit the armrest, and he immediately squatted down, clutching his head in pain.
Seeing this, Murakami Yo delivered a roundhouse kick to the young man's head and said.
"What the hell did you say you were?!"
Saying this, he stepped forward and stomped on the golden-haired young man's head repeatedly.
"Good at fighting, my ass? Idiot!"
"Watch me kill you, you blondie."
It wasn't until Murakami Yo saw the unconscious golden-haired young man that he turned to his companions and said.
"Who is this guy?"
A delinquent nearby shook his head.
"I don't know, I've never seen him in this area before."
The group said, walked over, and once again surrounded Yasuda.
Seeing this, Yasuda squatted on the ground, clutching his head, and thought to himself.
"He's not good at all!"
Murakami Yo looked at Yasuda with a sinister smile and said.
"Brother Yasuda!"
Hearing this, Yasuda quickly said.
"I'll give you the laundry fee right away, please wait a moment."
But he frantically fumbled in his pockets for a long time and couldn't find his wallet, so he quickly said.
"Huh? Where's my wallet? It's gone."
He looked at Murakami Yo, who was getting closer and closer, and cold sweat broke out from anxiety. But the more anxious he was, the less he could remember where his wallet had gone.
Seeing this, Murakami Yo kicked Yasuda down and cursed.
"What are you pretending for, kid?"
"This kid definitely wants to renege on his debt. Get him!"
Hearing Murakami Yo's command, the delinquents behind him rushed forward and started punching and kicking. One delinquent said.
"Be careful, don't hurt this kid's face."
Immediately, Yasuda's screams echoed through the carriage.
Inside the teacher's office, a blond teenager awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said,
"Hello, Teacher Aoyama, my name is Bouya Harumichi, and starting today, I'm your student."
"I'm really sorry. I saw an old lady crossing the street on my way here, so I'm late."
Hearing this, the teacher on the other side of the desk turned to look at him and said with an awkward smile,
"My name is Aoshima. Can't you even remember your teacher's name?"
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi became even more embarrassed.
"Ah... ah? Really? Hahahaha."
Teacher Aoshima flipped through the documents in his hand and said,
"Alright, your classroom is in Second Year Class A. You can go straight to the classroom."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher."
Bouya Harumichi left the office and walked towards the teaching building the teacher had pointed to.
Upon arriving at the teaching building, he initially intended to ask a student where the classroom was, but he found the entire building exceptionally quiet, with not a single student in sight.
He could only check the signs on each classroom door one by one. When he reached Second Year Class A, he still didn't see anyone.
He wondered if all the students had gone to the main building for classes.
Thinking these thoughts, he left the classroom and walked towards the main building.
As a result, when he reached the First Year area, he made eye contact with a teenager, and both of them spoke at the same time.
"Huh! Aren't you the one from this morning?"
Bouya Harumichi walked to the table next to Yasuda, sat down, put his arm around Yasuda's shoulder, and pulled out his wallet from his pocket.
"Oh, Yasuda, here's your wallet."
Seeing his wallet, Yasuda reached out to take it, saying,
"Thank you!"
But just as he reached out to grab it, Bouya Harumichi pulled it back. Then Bouya Harumichi leaned in closer to him, showing a lewd smile as he looked at Yasuda and said,
"I say, Yasuda, who's the girl in the photo with you in the wallet?"
Hearing this, Yasuda excitedly reached out to snatch the photo back, but seeing his attempt to grab the wallet, Bouya Harumichi quickly stood up and moved back, smiling and saying,
"If you don't tell me, I won't give it back to you."
Seeing this, Yasuda said helplessly,
"That's my older sister."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi said in shock,
"What?"
Then he seemed to realize something and said,
"I get it. Your parents picked you up from a trash can, right? Otherwise, how could you have such a beautiful older sister?"
Hearing this, Yasuda roared in anger,
"What are you talking about!"
Bouya Harumichi looked at the photo in his hand in disbelief, thinking no matter how he looked at it, Yasuda seemed to be adopted. Finally, he suddenly stood up.
"I've decided, I'll get revenge for you."
Hearing this, Yasuda grabbed Bouya Harumichi's arm and said,
"Forget it. Even if you beat them, they'll still come and bully me."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi said,
"What are you afraid of? I'm here."
But hearing his words, Yasuda said with a wry smile,
"You can help me at school, but what about outside? You can't protect me forever, can you?"
"Besides, they said if I dared to bring people to cause them trouble, once they graduate, they'll wait for me near my house and beat me every time they see me."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi said,
"What are you afraid of? Just beat them until they're scared of you."
Hearing this, Yasuda fell silent.
Seeing the silent Yasuda, Bouya Harumichi said,
"By the way, why is there no one in the teaching building? Did everyone go to the main building for classes? Why aren't you going?"
Yasuda turned to look at him, his expression strange as he said,
"Does anyone at Suzuran attend classes?"
"Then why is there a group of people over there?"
"That's the territory of the Crow Corps."
"The first floor was converted into an arcade by Big Brother Miyazaki, so all the members are playing there."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi looked at Yasuda in surprise.
"The Crow Corps? An arcade?"
"Yes, the Crow Corps was established by Big Brother Miyazaki when he was in First Year. At that time, Big Brother Miyazaki united the entire First Year. In the first semester of this year, because Gora Toru of Third Year wanted to absorb the Crow Corps, he challenged Big Brother Miyazaki."
"However, he was instantly defeated by Big Brother Miyazaki. Finally, Big Brother Miyazaki led the members of the Crow Corps, along with some members from Third Year and First Year, into battle and ultimately reached the top."
"And Big Brother Miyazaki also became Suzuran's first Boss."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi became interested and continued to ask,
"Big Brother Miyazaki?"
Looking at the little blond's expression, Yasuda sat on the chair and continued,
"Big Brother Miyazaki, full name Miyazaki Tatsui, is called the 'Great Demon King' by the delinquents of Suzuran and Toya Liu."
"In First Year, he came to Suzuran from Osaka to study and, by himself, united the First Year within a week, establishing the Crow Corps."
"Finally, he challenged Suzuran's top, Hayashida Megumi. However, he was later defeated by Senior Hayashida Megumi at the cost of serious injury. But at the beginning of the second semester of First Year, Big Brother Miyazaki challenged Senior Hayashida Megumi again, and finally defeated Senior Hayashida Megumi with serious injuries, becoming Suzuran's strongest existence."
"Last semester, he even declared war on all factions within the school, completely crushing the resistance alliance, and became Suzuran's first Boss. Big Brother Miyazaki's nickname, the 'Great Demon King,' spread at that time."
After listening, Bouya Harumichi became interested and said with a smile,
"Are you also a member of the Crow Corps?"
Yasuda nodded, smiling, and said,
"That's right."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi really wanted to say, 'Then why don't you ask Miyazaki Tatsui to help you solve this problem?' But remembering the threat Yasuda had just mentioned, he closed his mouth.
His eyes darted around, and he said with a smile,
"Is that so!"
"By the way, where are those people who bullied you? I'll go help you out. You don't have to worry about their threats anyway. We go to school the same way, and we definitely go home the same way. We can walk to and from school together then, so you won't have to fear their threats."
Hearing this, Yasuda hesitated a little.
"Is that really okay?"
Bouya Harumichi smiled, put his arm around Yasuda's small shoulder, and said with a smile,
"It's definitely fine. If we can't scare them off in more than a year, at worst, after graduation, we can find jobs together, and I'll continue to escort you until they turn twenty and stop bothering you."
But looking at his lewd expression, whether he was using the excuse of escorting to get closer to Yasuda's older sister was unknown.
Hearing this, Yasuda weakly said,
"I'm talking about your strength. Is it really okay?"
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi said,
"What are you kidding about? I'm very strong. This morning was just a mistake. Whose subway puts armrests on the seats?"
Just as the two were chatting, a figure pushed open the classroom door and walked in.
Murakami Yo looked at the two in the classroom and suddenly started to laugh.
"Yo, the little blond is here too! Looks like we'll have another punching bag."
Bouya Harumichi also showed a ferocious grin and said,
"Little cat, you've delivered yourself to my doorstep."
PS: To be honest, I haven't read the manga. I originally planned to finish with Crows 123, but many people were looking forward to Harumichi's arrival and the neighborhood.
So I got the manga and the neighborhood, and I'm writing it as I read it, so it might not be very good. I can only take it little by little and try not to ruin Harumichi's image.
Honestly, I had actually written half of the ending yesterday, but then I deleted it and started over.
Bouya Harumichi watched Murakami Yo approach, then landed a heavy punch on his face, knocking him unconscious.
Seeing this, the three behind him paled and retreated in fear.
Watching them back away in terror, Bouya Harumichi quickly took a few steps and kicked one of the delinquents in front of him, sending him flying backward to crash against the wall.
He turned and punched the delinquent on his left, sending him to the ground. Seeing another delinquent running towards the door, he grabbed his collar, spun him around, and then punched him in the stomach.
He grinned, looking at the three who had instantly lost their fighting ability, then turned to Yasuda.
"See? I told you I'm really good at fighting."
Yasuda looked at Bouya Harumichi in surprise and said,
"You really are amazing! But why did you help me?"
Bouya Harumichi smiled and said,
"Because I just transferred to Suzuran, so I wanted to make friends with you. Don't you think we have a connection? The first time we met, we got beaten up together."
Indeed, it was fated; Yasuda felt the same way.
"Oh, by the way, Yasuda, can you take me to see the main building?"
Hearing this, Yasuda hesitated a little, as he really couldn't stand the smell of smoke and the noise in the main building.
He wanted to tell Harumichi to just go by himself, after all, the Crow Corps wouldn't mind outsiders visiting the first and second floors, unless the Crow Corps had an event. He had participated twice, but both times were at a villa outside the city.
However, looking at Murakami Yo and the others lying on the ground, he finally agreed. Besides, with him there, he could keep an eye on Bouya Harumichi and prevent him from clashing with the Crow Corps members, as they were at an age where they could start a fight just by looking at someone.
So he agreed,
"Alright!"
The two walked towards the main building. The large banner at the entrance had been removed, and delinquents were constantly going in and out of the main entrance. Most of them were delinquents in Crow Corps uniforms, with only a few wearing Suzuran uniforms.
"Wow~ It's really lively."
Seeing such a scene, Bouya Harumichi exclaimed.
Yasuda smiled and said,
"That's natural, our Crow Corps has over six hundred members. Basically, all the delinquents in the school have joined under Big Brother Miyazaki's command."
After walking inside, the noisy sounds and music filled their ears. Although there were many people inside, the space was large, so it wasn't very crowded.
Bouya Harumichi looked at the arcade machines on the side, pulled Yasuda, and walked over.
"Shall we play for a bit?"
After playing for a while, they both found it boring, mainly because Bouya Harumichi always felt like Yasuda was cheating, but he had no proof.
"No more playing. Besides these, what else is there here?"
"On the second floor, there's a lounge area with a small cinema, a gym, a water bar, and billiards and card games."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi's face showed a lewd expression, and he asked,
"Hmm? A small adult cinema?"
"How about we go check it out together?"
Yasuda's face darkened, and he quickly said,
"It's a small cinema, not a small adult cinema."
Bouya Harumichi pushed Yasuda and walked upstairs. The second floor was noticeably less crowded. Yasuda looked at the water bar in the distance and led Bouya Harumichi over.
"You helped me today, so let me treat you to a drink?"
Bouya Harumichi smiled and said,
"How about I treat you instead! How could I let you pay?"
Yasuda turned to Bouya Harumichi.
"Are you sure?"
"Crow Corps members get a 30% discount; everyone else pays market price."
"Then you should pay, hahaha, that's so embarrassing."
The two grabbed two bottles of cola and then walked towards the small cinema. Seeing the movie playing, Bouya Harumichi wanted to leave.
However, seeing Yasuda watching intently, he still watched for a while, but eventually got so sleepy that he quietly got up and left the small cinema.
Coming outside, he looked at the Crow Corps members playing billiards around him and sighed,
"This treatment, besides no salary, is pretty much like a legitimate yakuza organization, isn't it?"
He sighed and watched for a while, then walked towards the rooftop.
Because Miyazaki Tatsui was usually the only one on the rooftop, and no delinquent would casually intrude, the logistics team didn't arrange anyone to guard it.
When Miyazaki Tatsui needed something, he usually just made a phone call.
Bouya Harumichi pushed open the door and walked in, finding only a pool table, a mahjong table, and a few sofas, with several bookshelves filled with books not far away.
"Is anyone here?"
He asked, looking around, and found no one. He walked further, but when he was halfway, he saw a tuft of pink hair sticking out from the sofa with its back to the door.
Miyazaki Tatsui heard the sound, but he was lazily half-reclining on the sofa, too lazy to respond, only tilting his head to look behind him.
Their eyes met, and Bouya Harumichi said,
"Someone is here! Why didn't you answer?"
Miyazaki Tatsui took the apple out of his mouth, chewed a few times, and looked at the little blonde who had inexplicably appeared in front of him. He asked,
"New here?"
There was a reason for him asking this; Crow Corps members basically had three uniforms each, so they usually wore them to school, and Suzuran's freelancers generally wouldn't come up to the rooftop.
However, no matter how Miyazaki Tatsui looked at this person, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Bouya Harumichi said with a grin,
"Yes, hello, my name is Bouya Harumichi, the new transfer student."
Hearing this, Miyazaki Tatsui was stunned. Indeed, strong individuals always attract each other. Looking at the little blonde in front of him, he smiled and said,
"Want an apple?"
Saying that, he sat up, grabbed an apple, and threw it to Bouya Harumichi.
"Just sit wherever you like. There are comic books over there; feel free to take whatever you want to read, don't be shy. Just remember to put them back when you're done."
After speaking, Miyazaki Tatsui lay back on the sofa and continued reading his magazine.
Bouya Harumichi caught the apple, a bit stunned by Miyazaki Tatsui's series of actions. He smiled and sat next to Miyazaki Tatsui. He was about to ask what his name was, but then he was attracted by the magazine in his hand.
"Indeed, Miss Aoi Sora is the most beautiful."
"Right? I think so too, but Kirishima says Miss Mitake Ryoko is even prettier."
"Also, Miss Fuyutsuki Matsu and Miss Amamiya Manami are very good too."
The two exchanged glances, both revealing a profound smile.
"Hehehe~"
Their eyes confirmed they were like-minded companions.
Meanwhile, Yasuda, who had realized Bouya Harumichi was missing, went back and forth between the second and first floors, finally hesitating at the stairs leading to the rooftop.
However, seeing the logistics team members still normally patrolling the first and second floors, he thought that even if Bouya Harumichi had gone up, nothing should have happened. But in the end, he still decided to head towards the rooftop.
Just then, a voice rang out behind him.
"Hmm? Yasuda? Do you have something to do on the rooftop?"
Yasuda turned around and saw it was Ono Heiwa from the logistics team.
"Big Brother Ono, I brought a friend to watch a movie just now, but then I found he was gone, and I wanted to go to the rooftop to see if he went up there."
Hearing this, Ono Heiwa smiled and handed the bento box in his hand to Yasuda.
"Perfect, I was just about to take lunch up to the General. Since you're going up to find someone, could you take this up for me?"
Hearing this, Yasuda reached out, took it, and bowed.
"Okay."
After taking the bento, he walked upstairs.
Pushing open the rooftop door, he saw a little blonde and a little pink-haired person sitting together, looking at something, occasionally making sounds of appreciation.
"Miss Ozawa Maria's beauty is also quite good."
"This one, Miss Takasawa Maria's is also good."
"Hehe~"
Uh… Boss, your lunch."
Yasuda looked at the two men who were grinning evilly and finally couldn't help but speak.
Hearing the voice, Miyazaki Tatsui and Bouya Harumichi turned to look at the newcomer, realizing it was Yasuda, Bouya Harumichi said in surprise.
"Yasuda?"
Miyazaki Tatsui took the bento from Yasuda, a bit surprised. Was this fate?
Thinking about these things, Miyazaki Tatsui placed the bento on the table. Inside were two servings of unagi donburi, one for him and one for Bouya Harumichi. This was what he had just ordered from Ono Heiwa over the phone.
He turned to the two of them and said,
"You two know each other?"
Hearing Miyazaki Tatsui's question, Yasuda quickly replied,
"Yes, Boss, he's a friend I just met this morning."
"Is that so! Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"
After saying that, he picked up his phone and called Ono Heiwa, asking him to bring up another bento.
It was then that Bouya Harumichi reacted and said to Miyazaki Tatsui,
"You're Miyazaki Tatsui?"
"Mhm, mhm."
On the other side, inside the Naracura warehouse, Bando Hideto's face was very grim as he looked at the eighty-plus men under him. Ever since he had scurried away from Suzuran that day, he had found it very difficult to recruit people.
Moreover, some of the Third Year delinquents from Suzuran who had just been recruited had gradually left his ranks, more than twenty of them.
He understood that if he didn't reclaim his territory, no matter what he did afterward, it would be very difficult to recruit enough people to reclaim the Third Generation Armed Front, which was currently led by Kunō Hidetomi.
He looked at his second-in-command and asked,
"Have you found out Sugihara Jou and Honjo Toshiaki's addresses?"
Hearing Bando Hideto's question, his second-in-command quickly replied,
"Yes, we've found them. We can act at any time."
Upon hearing this, Bando Hideto looked at his subordinates.
"We'll act tonight. Let Miyazaki Tatsui know the consequences of offending us."
Hearing his words, all the subordinates bowed and assented.
He had originally planned to ambush Miyazaki Tatsui, but with Miyazaki Tatsui's strength, it would be no problem for him to defeat them all alone.
Of course, if Miyazaki Tatsui still had the strength he had when he first arrived in First Year, and if they had weapons, they could definitely win.
But now, with Miyazaki Tatsui's current strength, if there wasn't a strong enough fighter to hold him back, it wouldn't matter how many people they sent.
So, they could only go after his Four Heavenly Kings.
Because he was unsure of the strength of Miyazaki Tatsui's Four Heavenly Kings, he specifically chose the three lower-ranked members of the Four Heavenly Kings as a precaution. He would take twenty men, and his second-in-command, Senda, and Yamasaki would each take thirty men to ambush Sugihara Jou, Honjo Toshiaki, and Kirishima Hiromi.
As for the First Year executive, one was basically inseparable from Miyazaki Tatsui, and there was also a bodyguard, Kudo Ryosuke, a terrifying existence who had won two consecutive national fighting championships.
The other was driven to and from school every day and lived at the Otsu Group headquarters. Who would be crazy enough to bring delinquents to fight yakuza armed with knives and guns?
So he gave up.
At the Suzuran school gate, Miyazaki Tatsui got on his motorcycle, and the other executives also got on theirs. They had all gotten one last semester after seeing Miyazaki Tatsui ride his every day.
"General, we're off first!"
The few of them said to Miyazaki Tatsui.
Miyazaki Tatsui nodded, then turned to look at Bouya Harumichi and Yasuda, who had several comic books and magazines tucked under their arms, and said,
"Do you want us to give you a ride home?"
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
Bouya Harumichi said, already sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle. The three of them watched Yasuda, who was still scratching the back of his head, not knowing what to say. Yamashima Ryohei pulled him aside.
"Stop dawdling, get on!"
Seeing this, Yasuda bowed.
"Thank you, Big Brother Yamashima."
As the roar of the motorcycle engine started, Bouya Harumichi leaned back and then let out a cheer.
"Woohoo~"
Sugihara Jou arrived near his home, parked his motorcycle, and walked towards his house.
However, halfway there, he stopped, staring with a grim expression at the group of people in front of him.
Before Yamasaki could speak, he put on his helmet and charged directly forward.
There was nothing fair in war. The only thing in his mind was what Izaki Shun had told him.
Since they were playing dirty with him, it was perfectly reasonable for him to fight with a helmet on, right?
He used a spinning kick to send a charging delinquent flying backward, knocking down several others.
Grabbing a delinquent by the collar, he delivered three consecutive punches to his face. A dull thud suddenly came from the back of his head. He released the delinquent in front of him, turned, gripped the arm of the person who had ambushed him from behind, and delivered a level three headbutt, causing blood to splatter instantly.
Sugihara Jou bent down to dodge a stick swung by another delinquent. Just as he was about to stand up and counterattack, his arm was grabbed by a delinquent. He kicked him down.
Before he could continue attacking that delinquent, his lower back was grabbed. He turned and threw an elbow strike backward, immediately knocking that delinquent to the ground.
As soon as he turned back, a stick, carrying a strong gust of wind, struck him directly in the abdomen. He staggered back a few steps, watching as the stick came at him again, hitting his helmet with a dull sound, and breaking.
He charged over, grabbed the delinquent by the back of the head, and his fists rained down on the delinquent's face. Blood mixed with a few teeth flew out.
He completely ignored the attacks hitting him from behind.
This time, he was truly enraged. That last blow was clearly aimed at killing him.
He only stopped when several delinquents grabbed his arms and pulled him back. Feeling the restraint on his waist and arms, Sugihara Jou gasped, not moving.
Even as his helmet was taken off, he watched Yamasaki, who was cursing, walk over.
He suddenly exerted force, kicking Yamasaki in the abdomen, and at the same time, using the recoil, he slammed backward, knocking down everyone behind him. He scrambled to his feet, charged forward, and leaped, delivering a knee kick to Yamasaki's face, who had just gotten up, directly sending him falling backward to the ground.
Everyone was startled by the sudden turn of events. By the time they rushed over, Yamasaki was already pinned under Sugihara Jou, receiving a flurry of wild punches.
A delinquent delivered a flying kick that sent Sugihara Jou flying. Before Sugihara Jou could get up, he was pinned down by several delinquents, and then his arms and hair were grabbed and lifted. This time, his legs were also held.
A delinquent punched Sugihara Jou in the face, followed by a series of continuous punches, striking Sugihara Jou's face repeatedly, causing blood to splatter.
"Hey!"
A voice interrupted him. The delinquent turned to look, and Yamasaki's blood-soaked face met his eyes.
Yamasaki staggered to his feet and walked in front of Sugihara Jou. Looking at Sugihara Jou, whose face was also covered in blood, he panted heavily, forcing down the pain from his face and abdomen, and said with a smile,
"Ah! As expected of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, I almost got taken out by you."
Sugihara Jou struggled to lift his head, looking at Yamasaki and smiling as he said,
"It's alright, there'll be plenty of chances to take you out later."
Upon hearing this, Yamasaki walked over and grabbed Sugihara Jou's hair.
"It's fine, all that matters is that I won now."
After saying that, he punched Sugihara Jou repeatedly in the face until he lost consciousness, then he left with his men.
Meanwhile, Kirishima Hiromi looked at the row of motorcycles in front of him, his expression grim, and turned to leave. However, as soon as he turned, he saw the members of the Bando faction surrounding him.
He stopped his motorcycle, pulled up his visor, and stared at Bando Hideto.
"Hey! A good dog doesn't block the road, you know~"
With that, he suddenly twisted the throttle, staring intently at Bando Hideto and the members behind him.
"If you've got the guts, hit me."
Bando Hideto stared at Kirishima Hiromi and spoke.
Hearing this, Kirishima Hiromi released the clutch, and the entire motorcycle sped towards the group.
"Don't you dare dodge, you bastard!"
Watching the motorcycle get closer, Bando Hideto suddenly dodged, and Kirishima Hiromi simultaneously jumped off the bike. The motorcycle crashed into the seven motorcycles blocking the road behind him, and a huge collision sound immediately rang out.
He watched as all of them fell to the ground, parts and casings shattered everywhere.
"Baka, you bastard!"
"My motorcycle!!!"
Some of Bando's subordinates cursed angrily.
Kirishima Hiromi rolled a few times on the ground, then got up and charged at Bando Hideto, who had just stood up, throwing a punch at his face.
"Coward."
However, his punch was blocked by Bando Hideto, and his abdomen was hit by a heavy punch from Bando Hideto. He gritted his teeth and delivered a headbutt to Bando Hideto's head, immediately followed by another punch to his abdomen.
He also landed a punch on Bando Hideto's face and blocked Bando Hideto's heavy punch with a knee kick.
Both of them retreated a few steps. Kirishima Hiromi grabbed an incoming member by the waist, exerted force, and roared as he flung him away, knocking down several other members. He then turned and punched another member in the face.
Just as he was about to turn to continue fighting Bando Hideto, he took a whip kick to his side from Bando Hideto. He staggered and fell to the side.
His chest was then kicked by another delinquent, and he fell backward.
Then, his side was hit by another whip kick.
Bando Hideto walked over and looked at Kirishima Hiromi, who was trying to get up.
He stomped on the back of his head. Fortunately, Kirishima Hiromi was wearing a helmet, but the visor was shattered, and the plastic scratched his cheek.
Then, his abdomen took another whip kick.
He lay on his back on the ground, looked at Bando Hideto, who was walking over again, and said with a smile.
"What is this, playing house like children? Did you not eat?"
As he turned to try and get up, Bando Hideto, seeing this, tried to deliver another whip kick to knock him down.
But just then, his leg was grabbed by Kirishima Hiromi, followed by a heavy punch from Kirishima Hiromi to his upper thigh, causing Bando Hideto to bend over in pain. Kirishima Hiromi reached out and grabbed his collar, delivering another headbutt that sent him falling backward.
Just as Kirishima Hiromi was about to get up and mount Bando Hideto to attack, a delinquent from afar delivered a flying kick that directly knocked him to the ground.
This was followed by a barrage of punches and kicks from a group of delinquents until Kirishima Hiromi lost consciousness and passed out before they stopped.
Bando Hideto got up, clutching his head, and looked at the blood on his palm. He walked over to the unconscious Kirishima Hiromi, raised his foot, and kicked Kirishima Hiromi in the face twice. Only then did the members nearby react and pull him away.
"That's enough, Bando-aniki, someone will get hurt if you keep hitting him."
"Let go of me, you bastards."
Bando Hideto roared, wanting to rush over again, but he was held back by the others.
One member saw the blood overflowing from Kirishima Hiromi's mouth and nose, clearly indicating severe internal injuries, and quickly pulled out his phone to call for an ambulance.
Then the group left the scene.
Meanwhile, Honjo Toshiaki had just turned back halfway and entered the food street, intending to get a bowl of ramen to take home. Seeing this, Senda and his group, who were following not far behind, also went after him.
The group waited outside the ramen shop that Honjo Toshiaki had entered. After about ten minutes, they saw Honjo Toshiaki walk out. Senda led his subordinates over and slowly surrounded him.
It was then that Honjo Toshiaki realized something was wrong. He bent down to dodge a heavy punch from behind and threw the scalding ramen in his hand at Senda's face, drenching him in hot soup.
Honjo Toshiaki looked at the chaotic enemies, rushed forward with a flying kick, knocking a delinquent to the ground, and kicked away another delinquent who was grabbing him, running towards the dense crowd in the distance.
Senda wiped the soup from his face, which was now bright red. He roared furiously.
"Chase him!"
Hearing his command, a group of people charged forward.
"Stop right there, you bastard!"
The words from behind him didn't affect Honjo Toshiaki, but they caused the crowd in front of him to part, creating a path.
This made him reluctantly abandon his plan of hiding in the crowd; if he forced his way into the throng and someone pushed him away, it would be troublesome.
He wouldn't be able to escape then. Fortunately, he was very familiar with this area. He didn't rush into an alley to shake off the people behind him but instead ran headlong into the distance.
Seeing the toilet close in the distance, he rushed inside.
Seeing this, Senda revealed a hint of a smile.
"He thinks he's safe hiding in the toilet? He's just asking for death."
Well… one could say that listening to more stories is quite good. Honjo Toshiaki rushing into the toilet was indeed looking for "death."
He entered the toilet, picked up the mop beside him, and kicked open a toilet stall door.
One could say his luck was much better than his big brother's.
"Hold on a sec."
Before long, he walked to the corner of the doorway with a halberd and stood there. An angry man's voice came from the stall behind him.
"You brat, you bastard, you idiot, are you looking for death?"
He ignored the roars from behind him, saw Senda coming in, and thrust forward. A foul stench assaulted them. Senda, unprepared, was directly splattered in the face.
Feeling the sticky sensation and the foul smell that assailed him, he immediately gagged.
Seeing this, the delinquents behind him quickly retreated. Honjo Toshiaki also chased them out, looking at the more than thirty people surrounding them outside, eager to move. When he advanced, the others retreated; when he retreated, they advanced.
At a stalemate for a moment, he noticed that the curses from the opposite side had stopped. Instead, screams of terror, retching sounds, and female shrieks erupted. He turned to look behind him, only to see a true god, who had turned his hands into halberds, charging over. His face changed, and he threw down the halberd in his hand and started running.
Seeing Honjo Toshiaki flee, the true god threw the enchanted items in his hands at the crowd.
Seeing this, the delinquents who were cornering him were also frightened by this scene and all started to run away.
However, seeing the true god constantly following behind him, Honjo Toshiaki kept complaining bitterly.
"Stop chasing me, Great God, I was wrong."
But the true god remained silent, simply charging forward with his head down.
Fortunately, the true god was finally stopped by the police who arrived.
Early the next morning, Miyazaki Tatsui looked at Honjo Toshiaki and said coldly, "Are you saying that Bando Hideto's men ambushed you?"
Honjo Toshiaki nodded and said, "Yes, yesterday on my way home, I was surrounded halfway. It looked like it was premeditated."
Miyazaki Tatsui turned to look at Ono Heiwa.
"Still can't reach Kirishima and Sugihara Jou?"
Ono Heiwa shook his head and said coldly, "Their phones have been unreachable. I don't know what's going on."
Miyazaki Tatsui narrowed his eyes and said, "Agutsu, Honjo, you two each take a hundred men and search the hospitals near their homes. You must find them."
Hearing this, Agutsu and Honjo Toshiaki nodded in agreement. Miyazaki Tatsui turned to look at Yamashima Ryohei and Kagami Ryohei.
"You two also each gather a hundred men and go search the streets for Bando's whereabouts. The remaining personnel will come with me to Nara Well Warehouse."
Watching the four leave, Miyazaki Tatsui turned to look at Ono Heiwa.
"Go prepare the vehicles."
Because all members of the Crow Corps were at the headquarters, the personnel were assembled very quickly. Agutsu informed all members of what had happened. Miyazaki Tatsui and Ono Heiwa walked down and looked at the waiting members, saying,
"Stray dogs should act like stray dogs. Since they dared to bite, don't leave a single one."
"Find Bando, crush them, even if it's the Armed Front behind them. If they dare to come, we'll kill them all together."
"Move out!"
Hearing this, all members bowed.
"Yes, Boss."
Bouya Harumichi, who had just arrived at school, looked at Miyazaki Tatsui and his group, who were walking aggressively towards the school gate, and said, "Yo, Miyazaki-kun, are you in trouble? Do you need my help?"
Miyazaki Tatsui looked at Bouya Harumichi and said with a smile, "Just a small problem, I can handle it myself. If you want to read magazines, just go to the rooftop. Remember to put them back when you're done."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi smiled, made way, and waved his hand, saying, "Then I wish Boss a triumphant return."
Miyazaki Tatsui turned to Bouya Harumichi and gave him a knowing smile, saying, "When I return in triumph, I'll take you to bathe tonight."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi's eyes lit up.
"Oh, how embarrassing, Miyazaki-kun, I'll go with you!"
He ran to Miyazaki Tatsui's side and, with the group, arrived at the school gate.
"Um... Miyazaki, is the bath real or fake?"
"It's a must. How could I lie to you?"
"Then let's hurry up and solve the problem! It's not good to delay too long."
Agutsu and Honjo Toshiaki each took their subordinates onto three of the buses and headed in the direction of Kirishima Hiromi and Sugihara Jou's homes. Ono Heiwa from the logistics team also went with them.
After all, if they were indeed ambushed and hospitalized, the medical expenses would still need to be paid by the Corps.
Miyazaki Tatsui and his group boarded the remaining three buses and headed towards Nara Well Warehouse. Although he thought Bando's group was definitely no longer there, he was afraid Bando Hideto might try a 'light under the lamp' trick on him. Anyway, he had plenty of manpower, and since they were idle, they might as well go check.
Watching the six buses drive away, Yamashima Ryohei looked at the remaining two hundred men and said, "Twenty people per group, spread out in all directions to search. Remember to ask delinquents you see, don't search blindly, and be polite, understand?"
"Understood!"
Yamashima Ryohei turned to Kagami Ryohei and whispered, "Don't take your men too far. I'm afraid Bando Hideto might target us while Boss and the others are out."
"If you encounter them, call to regroup first."
Hearing this, Kagami Ryohei nodded.
Taking a group of people and walking into the distance, Yamashima Ryohei narrowed his eyes and looked at the quiet Suzuran behind him.
"It's so quiet!"
After saying that, not knowing what he was thinking, he turned around and also led his group away.
Miyazaki Tatsui's bus rattled not far, Miyazaki Tatsui looked around and pulled Bouya Harumichi to the door.
"Huh? What's wrong, Miyazaki?"
"I'll explain later, just follow me first."
The driver saw the two come to the door, slowed down, and opened the door.
"Let's go."
Miyazaki Tatsui said and jumped down. Seeing this, Bouya Harumichi also jumped down, but he either wasn't looking where he was going or trusted Miyazaki Tatsui too much.
He immediately crashed into a trash can on the street and fell to the ground.
A foul stench assailed him. Miyazaki Tatsui covered his nose and stopped his intended steps towards him.
Bouya Harumichi reached out to Miyazaki Tatsui.
"Ouch~ It hurts so much, Miyazaki-kun, help me!!!"
Miyazaki Tatsui saw him clowning around, walked over helplessly, and pulled him up. As soon as Miyazaki Tatsui pulled Bouya Harumichi up, Kudo Ryosuke, who had been driving behind them, pulled his car to the side and stopped.
"Why didn't you watch where you were going? (Why didn't you tell me there was a trash can?)"
The two spoke in unison.
"I thought you would look yourself. (I thought you were looking out for me.)"
The two paused, then both laughed.
After Miyazaki Tatsui and Bouya Harumichi got in the car, Kudo Ryosuke drove away.
"Where are we going?"
Miyazaki Tatsui, sensing the stench in the car, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to Bouya Harumichi, then lit one for himself.
"You stink!"
"I put some bait in the fish pond. We're going to see if the fish have come to eat."
"Catching fish by hand is too troublesome. It's quicker to bait them and use a fishing rod."
Hearing this, Bouya Harumichi also reacted and said with a smile, "What if the fish are too stupid and don't eat?"
"Then we'll use a net. The leader of Housen and the Boss of the Gen Group are my friends. The leader of the Ryusei Association and the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department are my uncles' friends. If this net isn't big enough, we'll add some money and buy a bigger one."
Bouya Harumichi heard this and pouted at Miyazaki Tatsui.
"Rich people are so boring!"
Miyazaki Tatsui raised an eyebrow at Bouya Harumichi.
"Oh~ So you don't want to play with me anymore?"
After saying that, he sighed.
"Alright, then, you can get off. Tonight, I'll just have to take the executives to bathe by myself."
"Ah, how truly boring~"
"Hahahaha~ I'm just kidding, Miyazaki-kun. Don't you think the atmosphere in the car is too dull?"
Bouya Harumichi scratched the back of his head and laughed loudly.
"I accidentally got trash on myself earlier. Tonight, I'll still go bathe with you guys! Otherwise, if I go back like this, my mother will definitely be angry."
The two chatted and laughed. The car arrived at the wall behind Suzuran. After looking around and finding no one, the two secretly climbed over the wall into Suzuran and walked towards the main building.
At the Suzuran school gate, Bando Hideto, leading his subordinates, rushed into the empty Suzuran campus with gasoline barrels.
The group, armed with sticks, walked towards the main building. Bando Hideto glanced at the main entrance of the main building and grinned.
"Miyazaki Tatsui, I will make you pay the price."
"Oh? What price?"
As he finished speaking, a lazy voice rang out. Inside the open main entrance of the main building, Miyazaki Tatsui and a blond kid were lounging on a sofa, each with a cigarette in his mouth, watching the approaching group.
Bando Hideto stopped when he saw the two.
"How could you be here?"
Miyazaki Tatsui took the cigarette out of his mouth and looked at Bando Hideto.
"What? Are you trying to run away again?"
Seeing Miyazaki Tatsui's demeanor, Bando Hideto's expression flickered between dark and light.
Finally, he reached for the dagger at his waist, pulling it out, and stared at Miyazaki Tatsui.
"Your era should be over. Suzuran should be mine."
Seeing Bando Hideto draw his dagger, Bouya Harumichi, who had been silent, stared at him.
"No way? Little brother, you're resorting to a knife because you can't beat a junior?"
Hearing this, Bando Hideto looked at Bouya Harumichi, whom he had ignored.
"Shut up, you bastard! I'll deal with you too later."
Miyazaki Tatsui stood up and walked to stand in front of Bando Hideto.
"Only the weak draw their knives out of fear, but..."
Miyazaki Tatsui paused, then, seeing Bando Hideto charge at him, and before the dagger in Bando Hideto's hand could stab Miyazaki Tatsui, Miyazaki Tatsui's fist landed heavily on his face, sending him flying backward, crashing into more than a dozen delinquents behind him. Only then did Miyazaki Tatsui continue.
"But a weak person, no matter how sharp his weapon, is still weak."
Seeing Bando Hideto defeated in an instant again, his subordinates threw down their weapons and tried to escape.
However, on the Suzuran playground, more than two hundred Suzuran delinquents were charging towards them, led by the First Year executives, Yamashima Ryohei and Kagami Ryohei.
The two led the charge into Bando's subordinates. Yamashima Ryohei roared,
"Don't let a single one escape."
Miyazaki Tatsui, seeing this, smiled and said to Bouya Harumichi beside him,
"How about it? Didn't I say I could handle it myself?"
Bouya Harumichi gave Miyazaki-kun a thumbs-up and said with a smile,
"Not bad, you're really cool, Miyazaki-kun. When are we going to take a bath?"
"No rush, we'll talk about it later. Let's go up and read some magazines first."
"You're not planning on not taking me, are you?"
"How could I? Or should I have the driver take you first?"
"Oh, how could I not trust you? Let's still go together tonight. I'm not in a hurry."
Twenty minutes later, Yamashima Ryohei also finished the fight. After all, it was two against one, and against a group of delinquents with no morale. For members of the Crow Corps, who had system buffs for group battles, this was no problem at all.
After seeing everyone dealt with, Yamashima Ryohei ordered the guys to be thrown out of the school gate and then dismissed his men.
He and Kagami Ryohei went to the rooftop and said to Miyazaki Tatsui, who was reading a magazine,
"Boss, it's done."
Miyazaki Tatsui nodded.
"Find Ono's deputy and have them arrange a celebration banquet. Also, call the Nara Well Warehouse members and tell them to come back."
"Yes."
Not long after the two left, Miyazaki Tatsui's phone rang.
Miyazaki Tatsui took out his phone and answered. Agutsu's voice came from the other end.
"Boss, we've found Sugihara and Kirishima, but they're both seriously injured and haven't woken up from their coma yet."
Hearing this, Miyazaki Tatsui frowned.
"Where are you now?"
Agutsu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"We're at XXX Hospital."
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll be right there."
Miyazaki Tatsui hung up the phone, looked at the reclining Bouya Harumichi, and said,
"Harumichi, wait for me here for a bit. I'll take you to the bath tonight. I need to go to the hospital first."
Bouya Harumichi nodded and said,
"I'll wait for you here. You go take care of your business first."
Miyazaki Tatsui nodded, turned and left the rooftop. Arriving on the first floor, he took Yamashima Ryohei and Kagami Ryohei, left Suzuran, and hurried to the address Agutsu had given.
The three sped along, and soon arrived at the hospital.
Bang ~
In Tengu Forest, accompanied by a whistling gust of wind, a dull thud echoed through the forest.
A tree that a man could embrace with both arms crashed down. By this time, seven or eight other large trees around it had met the same fate.
Lin Dama, who had been missing for a long time, slowly withdrew his fist, took the towel from the side, and wiped the sweat from his body.
If Miyazaki Tatsui were here, he would surely exclaim that if Dama became a lumberjack, the sawmill owner would surely love him to death, not only saving on chainsaw fuel but also not needing to buy tools, and with high efficiency.
Looking at his masterpiece, Lin Dama left Tengu Forest and walked towards his home.
On the other side, Miyazaki Tatsui looked grimly at the report in his hand: a mild concussion, plus fractures. Both of them had similar injuries.
Fortunately, the medical standards in the Hot-Blooded World were good, and with the average physique of people, these injuries would mostly heal in about a week, and would not cause any future problems.
Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.
He had Ono Heiwa go to the front desk to arrange a double room for the two, then finally looked at Agutsu and said,
"Agutsu, you take the rest of the members back first. We'll take care of things here."
Agutsu heard Miyazaki Tatsui's order, agreed, and turned to leave the ward.
"Ono, you go back too. Later, communicate with the butler about arranging the celebration banquet at the villa tonight."
Ono Heiwa nodded, agreed, and also left with Agutsu.
Miyazaki Tatsui looked at the two still unconscious, then helplessly walked to the sofa nearby and sat down, saying to Honjo Toshiaki,
"Do you have their parents' contact information?"
Honjo Toshiaki nodded. They had been playing together since junior high and occasionally visited each other's homes, so they all knew each other's parents.
"Yes."
Seeing this, Miyazaki Tatsui said,
"Alright, you explain to their parents, otherwise they'll surely worry if they can't find them."
Honjo Toshiaki nodded and also left the ward, going outside to call the parents of the two.
Miyazaki Tatsui rubbed his temples. He had defeated Bando Hideto, and now Kunō Hidetomi, who had been eyeing Suzuran's territory for a long time, would surely use the excuse of helping Bando regain face to make a move on Suzuran.
This would satisfy his ambition for expansion and also win over the hearts of the Armed Front and Bando's remaining subordinates.
It was killing two birds with one stone, so Kunō Hidetomi would definitely make a move on Suzuran. He turned to look at Yamashima Ryohei and Kagami Ryohei.
"You two call Agutsu and tell him to be ready for battle at any time, and also try not to be alone."
The two nodded and left the ward.
Actually, Miyazaki Tatsui's idea was to arrange buses to pick up and drop off the Crow Corps members, but there were too many people, and that would waste too much time. It was better to have his subordinates be prepared and try not to be alone.
