Chapter 284 - This heroine is a bit different
While the woman was stunned, the man, who was drunk, quickly became sober and enraged.
"YOU LITTLE BASTARD! WHAT ARE YOU TAKING MY PHOTO FOR?! DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A CRIMINAL?!"
Probably, because the man was in a high position all the time, so when he faced Tobe, who took his picture, trying to harass the woman, a prostitute;' instead of fear, he became furious, thinking of using his momentum directly, and destroyed the evidence by taking Tobe's smartphone.
Only—
"Ugh!"
His bloated stomach was kicked as he fell directly onto the ground in pain. "Cough! Cough!" Yet, this wasn't the end since his head was kicked. "Arrggh! It hurts—"
"Don't scream. If you scream, I might kick into a different place, right?"
"..."
The man quickly shut up when he saw that Tobe was looking at his crotch, which made him shudder. The anger on his head also disappeared, and what was left was only fear, realizing what kind of trouble he had met.
Tobe was a minor, so even if a fight had happened, there wouldn't be a problem.
But who was he?
He was an adult, and he also had his own family!
Tobe had also taken a photo of himself molesting a woman, so the evidence was clear.
Even if the man tried to save himself, it wouldn't be any good.
Still, the man tried to persuade Tobe, who was clearly a high school student. "Let me tell you that you shouldn't do this. That uniform, that's a good school, right? If you know what is good for you, then you should let me go, and apologize..." Yet, the more he talked, the more arrogant he became, thinking that everything was under his control, but—
Slap!
Tobe slapped the man's cheek without mercy, which made him want to shout, but his mouth was covered by a large palm, and then he was pulled into the alley.
"It seems I need a precaution, so you won't dare to do anything, right?"
Watching Tobe's blank face, the man was in a deep despair, yet he could do nothing since unlike Tobe's body, which was young and healthy, his body was already at the limit and old, especially when most of his days were spent in the office till late and drinking alcohol all the time, so facing him, nothing could be done.
In the alley, Tobe made sure that the man wouldn't say anything using his own methods.
For a normal high school student, his act might be reckless and even frightening, yet for him, who had many experiences, especially in the world of Kaguya, it was nothing, he thought.
The world of Hyouka was even more ruthless, especially when Tobe's home was located in the mountain, and as long as one was brought into the mountain, it was impossible to find that person anymore.
Tobe knew that he hoped to have a normal and enjoyable life, but as his business grew, many things had to be done outside of the law, or else, he would be crushed like some businessmen who often died due to helicopter crashes and the like.
Still, if there was something that baffled him, it was the fact—
"You haven't left yet?"
Tobe looked at the woman before him with a strange expression since people, especially women, usually run away when they encounter such a situation or see his fierce side. Yet, her reaction wasn't the only thing that made him show such a reaction.
What was the other reason?
The other reason was that this woman was also a heroine.
Yes, this woman was a heroine!
Even though she was a working adult, who seemed to be in her mid-30s or early 40s, she appeared younger, like those women in their late 20s.
'If Hiratsuka-sensei dresses like this, she will be more beautiful.'
When Tobe saw the way the woman before him dressed and put on make-up, he couldn't help but think of Hiratsuka, who was about to hit her 30, yet still dressed in a masculine way like a boy, which made him helpless.
Still, the fact that this woman before him was also a heroine still baffled him since he was sure that she was either a mother, a wife of others, or simply a single mother.
Tobe didn't have a prejudice toward a single mother, yet he knew well that the life of a single mother was tough, especially when they didn't have a good education or work in a company after graduating from a university.
If they wanted to get a lot of money, the only way for them to do so without he above-mentioned was through the night industry, and the way this woman dressed was like that of a woman who worked in such an industry, especially with how gaudy she dressed up.
The woman was beautiful, with a gentle, sweet fragrance, a light make-up, and long blonde hair that was tied neatly with a scrunchie, and placed on her shoulder, giving her a hairstyle of a motherly side plait.
Still, he knew that his view toward this woman was prejudiced, but in the world of Kaguya, he often met such women, so he couldn't help it; then again, as she was a heroine, there was a small chance she worked in such a profession, but even if she did... frankly, he wasn't sure, so he couldn't say much.
'Damn, if only I knew what kind of work this woman was from.'
At the same time, despite all of that, this woman made his body feel weird since no matter what, he had to say that this woman was so charming, which made him feel hopeless with his virgin body.
'Calm down, my friend!'
As he repeated those words, trying to calm his friend who was about to wake up, he tried to think of the reason why the woman didn't leave.
Yet, if there was a reason why this woman stopped before him, as she was a mother, Tobe thought for a moment and took his smartphone, then deleted the photo and video he had taken when she was being harassed by the man. "If you are worried about the video and photo, here, I'll delete them for you."
"Ah, no." The woman looked at Tobe nervously since she knew well that despite having such a handsome face, this young man was fierce, like a beast, yet gentle as he helped her.
As their eyes met, the woman said, "I just want to say thank you."
"No, it's fine." Shaking his head softly, Tobe said, "My help is unnecessary, right?" After all, his help was so ruthless, especially when he pulled the man into the quiet alley brutally.
"No, no! That man was particularly persistent and from my experience, he might..." The woman didn't continue and only showed an awkward expression.
"Anyway, I just want to thank you. Thanks for your help."
The woman bowed her head, thanking him.
'She is sincere,' he thought. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at the economic situation of this country, and even the world, yet, what could he do?
The world was like this, and he wasn't a god.
He was only human.
"Then, you should be careful, Onee-san. Don't walk on this quiet alley again. I will go home first."
"Ah, um, yes, thank you once again."
The woman didn't have a chance to ask Tobe's name, but she also couldn't stop him as she could only watch his back helplessly, feeling a bit of regret, wishing to thank him, yet he had already gone.
'That uniform... he should be a student from the same school as my daughter, right?'
The woman thought of Tobe's face, which was so handsome, thinking that her daughter might know him.
Regardless, after a long day, Tobe finally reached his home.
"I am home."
