To pay off my debt, the school beauty became my live-in maid

Chapter 164 Love Hope and Courage

Almost immediately after the message was sent, Reimu felt the phone in her hand vibrate.

It was Master who replied immediately. That’s really rare.

In the past, he would only reply quickly when I sent him particularly beautiful selfies.

Especially when she accidentally took a picture of her feet wrapped in stockings.

The master is a pervert who likes feet.

What message did the master send in reply? It should be telling her to be careful.

Within a second, these thoughts flashed through Reimu's mind.

She turned her head from the car window and met the gaze of the female thief who was on the prowl.

I sent a message to Lin Shuang to gain some courage.

Before magical girls transform, don't they always shout out words like love, hope, and courage?

Lin Shuang is the source of Reimu's courage.

The vibration of the phone filled her with strength!

Magical girl Reimu is here! Prepare to eliminate evil!
The male thief who was slashing the purse with a knife was almost successful.

The female thief who was on lookout felt Reimu's gaze and was stunned for a moment.

——How dare she look over here? I have done several orders like this in a swaggering manner, but this is the first time I have met someone who is not afraid of knives.

At this moment, another female passenger sitting next to him moved first.

She kicked the male thief's knife away, and then with a beautiful grappling move, she tied his hands behind his back and pushed him to the ground.

The female thief, whose attention was distracted by Reimu, was a little slow before swinging her knife at the female passenger who had taken the initiative.

What followed was the screams of the stolen woman and other passengers.

Everything happened in a flash. The female thief raised the dagger high and was about to stab into the female passenger's arm.

Reimu had already swooped over and kicked the female thief down.

The swinging dagger changed its trajectory and instead slashed the male thief's thigh.

Red blood splashed out instantly.

Now the bus became even more lively, the screams of the passengers and the cries of the male thief mixed together, making it a mess.

Until this moment, all hearing and feeling finally returned to Reimu's body.

Only then did she realize how fast her heart was beating, "boom, boom, boom" almost jumping out.

After all, it's a shiny knife!

At first she thought it was a small fruit knife, but when she pulled it out she saw that it was a very sharp dagger!

The sharp blade reminded Lingmeng of the butcher knives used by every household in the small mountain village to slaughter pigs during the Spring Festival.

The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.

Reimu used all her strength to pin the female thief to the ground and pin her hands so that she could not continue swinging the knife.

The female passenger who was holding the male thief down on the other side panted and shouted to the driver, "Master! Drive directly to the nearest police station!"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and silently changed the route.

The other passengers quickly chose to remain silent and didn't dare to look over.

Passengers with small children covered their children's eyes and moved further away.

A male passenger sitting in the front wanted to come over to help, but was stopped by his girlfriend.

The only one who helped was the woman who was stolen.

She was dressed in jewels and looked very wealthy. She sat on the legs of the two thieves, pressing them so hard that they could not move.

In short, after a brief period of screaming and chaos, the bus returned to its eerie silence.

All that was left was the bleeding male thief, his intermittent and piercing screams, Reimu, and the panting voices of the female passenger.

All the other passengers acted as if the two thieves pinned to the ground in the middle of the carriage did not exist.

I turned my head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The bus sped through the thick night and arrived at the nearby police station. It dropped them off and also took Reimu's bags down with it, then drove away without looking back.

Afterwards, all of Reimu's memories of the incident seemed to be fragmented.

Why is everyone so indifferent?
Although the knife is scary...

But isn’t the indifference of human hearts really more terrifying?

He has been subdued and pinned to the ground, why is no one willing to help?

Was it because she was too scared that her memory was damaged?
While escorting the knife-wielding thief, Reimu's heartbeat simply got faster and faster.

——She rushed over without reciting any lines! Now she is not in magical girl form, right? She doesn't have the power of a magical girl, right?
Master said that it is only useful if you recite the lines.

But when she pinned down the thief, she still felt full of strength.

It would be even better if there were other people to help...

After finishing taking the statement at the police station, Reimu shook her head and still felt that there was something wrong with her memory.

How can everyone be so indifferent?

She must have made a mistake...

The female passenger who helped subdue the thief - actually a female police officer who often visited the "Qingmei" milk tea shop - pushed a cup of hot water towards Reimu.

Reimu finally recognized her.

If it was normal, she would have recognized it long ago, after all, she would say to the policewoman almost every day, "Welcome, do you still want the three-point sugar sound of Oolong today?"

After they became familiar with each other, she simply called the female police officer "Three Points Sugar".

"Sanfentang is here again! Let's make a cup of Sanfentang Shengsheng Oolong~"

The sweet female police officer named Xing Yingying smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you in this situation. You are really brave. But next time you encounter such a thing, don't be so impulsive. Your own safety should be the first priority."

Reimu held the cup of water in both hands, feeling the warm temperature.

She took a sip of hot water and asked softly, "Sanfentang, I have a question for you..."

"You asked."

"Is it normal for today's situation to be like this... everyone is just watching and no one is helping?"

"Sanfentang" peeled another half of the orange and handed it to her. "It's normal. After all, there is a knife. Even I am a little scared, let alone ordinary passers-by. It's normal to be scared - aren't you scared?"

Reimu bit off a slice of the orange and said, "It's so sour! - I'm scared! The more I think about it, the more scared I am!"

"It tastes better when it's a little sour - that's right, it's normal to be afraid. If you encounter something like this in the future, call the police immediately. Don't be impulsive, let us professionals handle it~"

The female police officer gestured towards Reimu twice, reminding Reimu of the two times she had captured him on the bus.

He is indeed handsome.

I can go 50-50 with Master.

After feeling the sourness of the orange and the addition of "three parts sugar", Reimu felt more open-minded.

Indeed, after all, not everyone is like them, full of love, hope and courage.

Let them protect the world!

Anyway, next time...if she encounters this kind of thing, she will still help.

Well, as long as you keep yourself safe.

"Three Points Sugar" patted her shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll take you home. Do you still have to work tonight? I can just stop by for a cup of Three Points Sugar on the way."

"It's a day off today!"
