"Pfft pfft~"
"Over here, Rukia-san."
"I'll help you tidy it up."
Yui actively stepped forward to help.
Yumiko complained, "Is this a Shinigami? The image is completely different from what I saw in the movies."
Saki felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
"Just thinking about a Shinigami being distressed over an English exam makes me want to laugh."
Hokkaido Airport.
Tenya and his group landed safely.
At the exit, a small bus arranged by the travel agency was already parked.
They took the small bus to their first destination: Mount Hakodate.
"Is this a famous scenic spot in Japan? Amazing."
Tenya looked at the distant mountain, estimating its height to be no more than three hundred meters and its area about ten square kilometers.
Miko said, "The night view here is pretty good."
Eriri added, "It's very suitable for gathering material."
Utaha suggested, "Then, let's take the cable car."
She was carrying a laptop, plus some clothes, cosmetics, and other items, so her backpack was quite heavy.
Yui asked, "Huh? Take the cable car as soon as we arrive? Aren't we going to walk around first?"
Yui was still thinking of walking up the mountain.
"There's a stall over there selling magic cards."
Rikka was very interested in the strange cards being sold at the stall.
"I'm hungry…"
Hana said weakly.
Each of the girls had their own ideas.
"Since that's the case, let's split up."
"We'll meet at the guesthouse at the foot of the mountain in the evening."
At Tenya's suggestion, everyone paired up in twos and threes and went their separate ways.
He refused the invitations of several girls and chose to act alone.
As for the reason...
He found that the average looks of the girls traveling here were quite good.
Perhaps someone might ask, you have ten beautiful girls with you, and you still want to look for others outside?
No no no!
That's thinking too small!
As the saying goes, the flowers at home aren't as fragrant as the wild flowers.
However, none of this was the main point. What truly interested Tenya was that the system had a reaction.
Detected the holder of a treasure chest!
"Handsome guy, alone?"
"Want to come with me?"
"Thank you."
"No need."
Facing the enthusiastic advances of various women, Tenya rejected them one by one.
Putting aside the looks of these women, as long as they didn't have a treasure chest on them, they were worthless.
Tenya wandered aimlessly around the Mount Hakodate scenic area.
Only when he got close to a treasure chest holder would the system react.
Under a certain billboard, a girl in a JK uniform was squatting in a corner, looking haggard and her eyes unfocused.
"Ah... My phone is out of power…"
The girl looked at the black screen of her phone, and expressionlessly threw it into a nearby trash can.
This action attracted strange looks from many passersby.
After all, in this era, mobile phones have become a necessity in daily life.
Losing a mobile phone is equivalent to losing half your life.
An old lady passing by quickly picked up the phone from the trash can, but an old man also grabbed it at the same time.
"I picked this up!"
"I picked it up first!"
The two started fighting on the spot to snatch the phone.
...
The girl just watched silently, as if she wasn't interested in anything.
The old man won the battle, and swaggered away with the spoils of victory.
The old lady lost the fight, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and turned to extort the girl squatting next to her.
"It's all your fault! Throwing things around! You made me injured, pay me money!"
Saying that, she reached out and snatched the backpack next to the girl, and swaggered away.
The passersby just watched everything happening in front of them indifferently, and no one reached out to help.
My phone is gone.
The money in my backpack is also gone.
Penniless.
Now I'm really in a desperate situation!
"Yuuko, were you this desperate back then too?"
The girl's eyes were dim and lifeless, with a hint of self-abandonment.
Misfortunes never come singly.
A passing blond punk set his sights on this helpless girl.
"Yo~ You look like you really need help."
....
The girl ignored him.
"Don't be so cold, let me take you to have some fun~"
The blond punk wouldn't let the girl go, and reached out to grab her.
....
Facing the blond punk who was reaching out his devilish claws towards her, the girl remained motionless and did not resist.
She knew what fate she was about to face. However, it didn't matter anymore.
Anyway, her life was destined to be a tragedy.
"A story of a fallen girl?"
Tenya, who happened to be passing by, originally didn't plan to interfere.
But suddenly, the system had a reaction.
[Ding!]
[Discovered a treasure chest holder...]
Tenya stopped in his tracks. He decided to uphold justice.
Slap!
Just as the blond punk's devilish claws were about to grab the girl, they were knocked away by a hand from the side.
"Ouch!"
"Who are you?"
The blond punk covered his stinging palm, glaring fiercely at the man who had ruined his good deed.
"An envoy of justice." Tenya said righteously.
Looking at the handsome boy who stepped forward, a glimmer of light flashed in the girl's dim eyes.
She thought to herself, 'Will there really be an envoy of justice?'
"Huh?"
"Where did this kid come from, if you know what's good for you, get lost immediately…"
Before the blond punk could finish his trash talk, he himself rolled down the stairs.
"Eh?"
The girl's eyes widened slightly, wondering if it was an illusion. She seemed to have not seen the handsome boy in front of her make a move.
The bad guy was just beaten away.
It felt just like a light novel.
"Are you alright?"
Tenya extended the hand of friendship to the other party, his goal was always very clear.
"Thank you…"
The girl's weak voice carried a hint of a sob.
This was the first time she had felt kindness from a stranger since she ran away from home.
[Ding!]
