This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 611 - 381. This is Shen Gu Mirai! (8000-word target achieved)_2
She felt that she didn’t need to trouble Beichuan Si with this sort of matter, as she could easily resolve it herself, so she hadn’t mentioned it to Beichuan Si.
Shen Gu Mirai raised her head.
Behind the activity building, a few people were crouching on the ground smoking, looking every bit the stereotype of bad boys.
"Let’s get this over with and go back to find Mr. Temple. I don’t want to keep him waiting too long..."
Shen Gu Mirai walked over step by step, her expression calm, her footing steady.
The group of delinquent upperclassmen noticed Shen Gu Mirai as well.
They stubbed out their cigarettes and stood up, their slovenly demeanor making Shen Gu Mirai involuntarily furrow her slender eyebrows.
She cleared her throat, slightly turned to the side, touched the neatly trimmed shrubs beside her, and asked directly, "Excuse me, seniors, do you need me for something?"
If there’s nothing important, I need to go back.
Shen Gu Mirai muttered to herself. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Seeing Shen Gu Mirai so aware of the situation, the delinquent upperclassmen laughed and asked:
"Shen Gu, you should know me, right?"
Shen Gu Mirai fell silent for a moment, then tilted her head and said with a puzzled face, "Who are you?"
Of course, Shen Gu Mirai knew this delinquent upperclassman.
After all, he was the one who had confessed to her the day before yesterday.
But here, she wanted to show an attitude of ’I couldn’t care less about someone like you’, to easily provoke the other party’s emotions.
By stirring up their emotions, she would make them lose their calm.
And when that happened, it would be her time, Shen Gu Mirai, to take control of the situation.
As expected, upon hearing Shen Gu Mirai’s words, the hot-blooded delinquent upperclassman couldn’t hold back.
He clenched his teeth, his neck turning red with frustration from her words.
Not only had his confession been rejected, but she didn’t even remember who he was?
What was this?
Wasn’t that the ultimate disrespect?
He had intended to rush up and teach this little girl a lesson, but two other upperclassmen quickly grabbed him.
As one of them said, "Alright, Shen Gu, let’s not beat around the bush, the main reason we called you here—"
Before that person could finish, Shen Gu Mirai gestured for him to pause, saying weirdly, "Haven’t the seniors been the ones talking nonsense? Besides, I’m here because you called me over. If there’s nothing else, I need to go. My boyfriend is waiting for me."
"..." The delinquent students.
Were at a loss for words.
Shen Gu Mirai had completely blocked their attempt to speak.
They had wanted to tell Shen Gu Mirai that they hoped she would agree to their request and become the girlfriend of the delinquent student they were holding.
But before they could finish speaking, Shen Gu Mirai had said all they wanted to say.
She already had a boyfriend, and he was waiting for her—
"You’re lying! You don’t have a boyfriend!" shouted the restrained delinquent student, his face flushing red. He broke free from the two holding him back and lunged toward Shen Gu Mirai.
He was determined to show this little girl who was boss!
But in the next moment—
The world spun.
The scenery stretched out.
The delinquent student felt himself airborne momentarily, followed by a sharp pain in his back.
Thud!!!
The muffled sound of a body hitting the ground.
The other delinquent students were stupefied.
Shen Gu Mirai had actually used the momentum of their companion’s charge to execute a clean shoulder throw.
How could Shen Gu Mirai, who appeared so fragile, perform such a maneuver?
"Using violence against a girl isn’t very nice," Shen Gu Mirai cheerfully told the delinquent boy lying on the ground, swollen and aching from the fall.
She was no longer as weak as when she first met Beichuan Si.
As she experienced various incidents alongside Beichuan Si, Shen Gu Mirai had begun learning various self-defense techniques that made use of leverage.
Did you think she went straight home after leaving school early with Beichuan Si every day?
That wasn’t the case.
For over two months, she had been learning self-defense and combat skills nearly every day—most of the practical techniques she learned from Gangye Yoshiko.
Since women naturally have less physical strength than men and considering the potential future encounters with vengeful spirits attacking in various forms, Shen Gu Mirai consistently ran for exercise and focused on self-defense techniques.
Namely, techniques that would prevent someone from approaching or that would incapacitate an attacker—rather crude measures for self-protection.
Watching their cohort brought down, the other delinquent students couldn’t just sit still.
They bluntly all charged at Shen Gu Mirai, intending shamelessly to overwhelm the girl with sheer numbers.
But—
"I would really rather that you all refrain from acting rashly,"
Seeing them rushing over, Shen Gu Mirai’s face didn’t show the slightest panic.
She pulled something out of her skirt pocket.
And at the sight of what was in her hand, the delinquent students all froze.
An anti-wolf alarm.
The faces of the delinquents all flushed red.
They hadn’t expected Shen Gu Mirai to have anticipated this step.
If Shen Gu Mirai pressed the anti-wolf alarm, they would indeed have no place to stand in this school.
A group of delinquents and a high-achieving, well-behaved, cute high school girl...
How could they not all end up socially dead?
With things having reached this point, doing something to Shen Gu Mirai today was no longer possible.
The delinquents’ faces were flushed with anger, but internally they were seething—
If they couldn’t do anything today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
As long as they didn’t give Shen Gu Mirai a handle to grab onto, they had plenty of ways to deal with her.
Thinking this, their expressions eased slightly.
But it was in the moment they relaxed that Shen Gu Mirai raised her hand and pulled a mobile phone from the neatly tended shrubbery beside her.
Then.
Shen Gu Mirai showed them the screen of her phone.
On it... was a video of the entire incident that had just taken place!
"Did you... touch those bushes just now... just to put a phone with the video function turned on inside?!"
The delinquents remembered Shen Gu Mirai’s earlier movements, and their expressions stiffened.
"Of course," Shen Gu Mirai said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye and a smile on her lips, "a frail little girl like me obviously needs to be prepared with a third or even fourth backup plan."
Earlier that afternoon, when Mr. Temple was called to the office by the teacher, Shen Gu Mirai had already come near the activity building to inspect the scene and made all these thorough preparations before going back to the classroom to wait.
Once more.
Shen Gu Mirai was a very shrewd and intelligent girl.
It was very difficult to gain an advantage over her.
For these senior delinquents to try to play their little tricks against her, they could only end up thoroughly outmaneuvered.
With such leverage against them, they indeed dared not do anything to Shen Gu Mirai.
Shen Gu Mirai only needed a brief exchange, and all the delinquents agreed to her terms.
"Ah, it’s about time. Mr. Temple is waiting for me, so I won’t say much more. If you don’t want to be socially dead, do as I say. Got it?" Shen Gu Mirai glanced at the time and hurriedly said.
The delinquent youths looked at one another and dejectedly answered,
"Understood."
With their response, Shen Gu Mirai was satisfied.
She picked up her single-shoulder bag and gracefully left.
Leaving only the delinquents kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with despair.
"What the hell are we doing?"
Someone murmured to himself uncontrollably.
Yes...
What the hell were they doing?
"Let’s go back," someone whispered.
They exchanged glances, just about to get up—
"Hold on a second."
A cold voice sounded from the side.
The delinquents turned to look behind them in confusion.
Somehow, a young man with a calm expression was already standing behind them, his eyes calmly fixed on them.
"Beichuan..." A voice of fear squeezed out from their throats, the delinquents huddling together.
Watching them react, Beichuan Si moved toward them step by step, his tone steady:
"I have something that I really need to discuss with you."
