Stealing Spree

With that guy becoming the second example, none of the men lining up for the milk tea dared to step forward anymore.

Even if they’re envious of me for being surrounded by the girls, they couldn’t express it because of that manager who could kick them out anytime.

All they could do was admire them from where they were.

Nonetheless, I was already expecting that some of them would be waiting later once we left this shop.

Although I didn’t want to show the girls a violent side of me… There would always be times where it was inevitable.

And that’s actually what happened a few minutes later.

Since they already finished drinking their milk teas, we didn’t stay long there and began our way to the boxing gym. The appointed time for my part-time job was fast approaching and I doubt Coach Ayu and Hisa-jii would want me to show up late during my first day.

Like I expected, as soon as we left that shop, some of those in the line broke off and began following us.

Among them, some straight-up tried to open a conversation with one of my girls.

Naturally, they were those who weren’t from the same high school. Seeing a group of pretty girls, they instantly thought that they would have a chance.

Normally, that should be the case if it was just a normal group of girls. Some could score a name, a number or a date. It just so happened that these groups of girls are not normal. They all love the same guy; me.

Since they only thought that only one of them was taken, they all tried to talk to their targets. However, all of them got the same result. Ignored or turned down.

And before they could even be forceful, I made sure to step next to them, blocking those attempts.

That was what’s happening during the first five minutes of our walk.

Those following us who looked like gangsters or someone who wouldn’t do any good waited until we reached a street where there were almost no other passersby.

At this point, the girls were already talking to me about what to do and some of them were kind of guilty because they’re the reason why we’re being pursued.

“Don’t worry. I’m here. I will never let anything happen to any of you.” I tried reassuring them but that only made them even more worried.

They all moved closely resulting in us slowing down.

Nonetheless, even if we hurried on our steps, those guys behind us already quickened their pace. Even before we reach the next turn, they would be able to catch us.

“Excuse me, girls, can you stop for us? As for the guy with you, he can scram if he wants to.”

When they judged that they’re already close enough, the one leading them loudly hollered that, filled with his confidence that the girls would do it and I would be running away leaving these girls.

Although we could call for authority to come here and intervene. By the time they arrive, the events here would already be over so instead of that, I turned around to face them while I had the girls stand back,

Counting their numbers there’s at least six of them. And all of them had faces that looked like they already experienced being hospitalized thrice or more with their faces being the most banged up.

Their faces looked sore enough that they looked like ripe tomatoes that were on the verge of becoming spoiled.

They even have thick lips, some of which had traces of stitches.

Well, that’s enough for their faces. Let’s just say they all look like mobs in most films whose only role was to be beaten up by the protagonist.

About their body size, they’re fairly built and they surely could pack a punch.

But they all screamed amateurs. They probably only fought in brawls and they’re all using their not-so-good faces to intimidate someone. They would be those guys who were good at posturing but would never truly hope for a fight to break out.

“Oh? What’s this? Trying to be a hero, are we?” That leading guy whose hair was a mix of green and blue while having a piercing on both of his eyebrows mockingly said that.

And as if they were backup singers, the other five who could probably be mistaken as brothers because of how they all looked like near-expiring ripe tomatoes laughed.

“Hero? Nah. I prefer being the villain who would kidnap the main heroine and make her fall in love with me.”

“Look at this guy, are you hearing this? He’s hilarious I tell you.” That eyebrow piercing guy looked at his companions and laughed out loud while pointing at me. “Go rough him up, you two. And the three of you, block those girls’ paths. We’ll have a nice talk with them after we’re done with this guy.”

After saying that, the five behind him immediately moved and the other three tried to walk past me to reach the girls.

However, before the two could reach me, I already moved to block the other three’s path. Extending my foot to the side, I tripped one of them before I spun once to reach the other two as I delivered a back kick that reached their shoulders, sweeping them down.

Naturally, I also learned to kick. And I picked those I could easily execute rather than being good to look at. It’s a lot better to be swift and decisive than doing a beautiful posture and get countered effortlessly.

With the three down in a split second. The two who tried to gang up on me looked confused and the eyebrow piercing guy angrily stomped his forward foot as he seemingly jumped from where he was to reach me.

His arm was pulled back, ready to launch his punch.

That could truly be a strong punch. But that’s only the case if that would hit.

As soon as I stabilized my foot, I jumped back, evading him completely.

At this point, those three I took down were already trying to get up.

“Ruki…!” After hearing the girls’ worried shout behind me,

Two sets of footsteps began approaching my side.

“You two. I told you to stand back.”

“What use of me being a boxer if I cannot use it in this kind of situation. Watch me!” Sena declared as she began with her footwork. However, because of the tight pants she’s wearing, her footwork appeared too restricted.

“Husband, I had my fair share of this type of thug trying to approach us. Fuyu and the others are my living witnesses!” Akane almost shouted her words because two of those I took down earlier were already trying to grab her.

She raised her fist and threw a feint. Thinking she was about to punch them, the two tried to grab her arm only to be met with the wind.

As they were about to stumble down, my knee automatically ejected to one of the guys, hitting his jaw squarely. On the other hand, Akane, who flawlessly dodged them, did an axe kick pushing that guy she targeted to kiss the ground.

This time, the two fell was already down for the count.

“What the f*ck?!”

And before Akane and I went back to a stance, the eyebrow piercing guy exclaimed filled with his confusion as one of the ripe tomatoes that got hit by Sena’s one-two combination issued a loud thumping sound when he fell down on the concrete.

Alright. Perhaps I overestimated these mobs’ prowess. Or I was right at my description with them. They’re all posture and no skills.
