Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex-Novel

Chapter 1343. School Festival A Part 4 / Violently

「 Woo!! 」

Edie’s fist goes for Ishigami’s bodyguard, Tsujimoto.

「 Uge! 」

Tsujimoto’s unable to react to Edie’s quick fist that he fell down on the spot.

「!!! 」

Ishigami Norio and Ishigami Mizuki, and the other black suit bodyguards were shocked by Edie’s quick work.

Kurose-san moved to protect her master, Ishigami Mizuki.

Yeah, that’s the right move for a bodyguard.

「 W-What are you doing? 」

「 T-That’s right, what did Tsujimoto do to you?! 」

The Ishigami siblings protest to Edie.

「 You see, he lied 」

Edie smiled.

「 He lied that he doesn’t have any weapons 」

Tsujimoto’s knocked out.

He fell on the ground, twitching.

「 How do you know that 」

「 That’s right! How can you tell if Tsujimoto has a weapon or not? 」

The Ishigami siblings tell Edie.

「 Of course, rather, I’d say that you can’t be a bodyguard unless you can tell if someone’s carrying a weapon under their clothes 」

Edie said nonchalantly.

「 W-What’s with you! 」

「 Y-You’re just saying things for your convenience 」

Then.

「 Okay, that’s enough argument, give me a second. Hey, wake up! 」

A guy hiding behind the other black suits suddenly speaks up.

「 Hey, I told you to move! You bastard! 」

He kicks off the black suit standing in front of him and moved forward.

He takes photos with his phone.

「 Norio-san, could you let me take care of this? 」

He’s wearing the same black suit as the rest so he must be one of Ishigami’s men.

But, he’s a very random guy.

「 It’s not like Norio-san to go out of his way to toss himself in front of these people. I’ll do something about this 」

Tossing in front of these people.

You were hiding at the back until now.

「 Norio-oniisama 」

Ishigami Mizuki glares at her brother.

「 Don’t worry, Mizuki-san. I’ll show you that I can deal with it right away 」

The random guy shows a vulgar smile and said.

「 He should stop… Kada-san, these people are… 」

Kurose Anju-san whispers to Ishigami Mizuki.

「 You shut up! Kurose! I’ll show you! 」

The guy glared at Kurose-san and threatens her.

「 Okay. I’ll let you deal with it. Shoukin 」

Ishigami Norio tells him.

「 Yes, yes, okay, I got this! Hohohohoi! 」

The guy called Shoukin continues to walk towards us while taking more photos of Tsujimoto.

「 Hey, I’m Kada Shoukin, my dad’s a fan of the Three Kingdoms, and so he named me after Jiang Qin. Well, that doesn’t matter. As for the main topic 」

The flirty man shows a vulgar smile and said.

「 Oh, let me tell you beforehand, I attend Tokei Uni’s law school. Get it? Law school. I’ll become a lawyer someday. Meaning, I’m a professional at law 」

This guy talks a lot.

「 And so, as a professional in law, let me tell you, doesn’t this look bad? 」

The guy smiled and pointed at the collapsed Tsujimoto.

「 You just went and suddenly attacked an unarmed guy and knocked him into a coma. See, that’s bad, definitely bad. Definitely not a great idea. Love Gechu! 」

What the hell is with this guy?

「 Well then, what do I do? Should I report this to the police? Oh, if the police come, it’ll be trouble. That’s definitely assault crime 」

Shoukin says while showing off his phone.

He’s showing that he can call the police right away.

「 See, that’s definitely bad for you, right? Like, Geki Atsu Maji Yabai! If I recall, you gave her the orders. So, you’re also bearing the same crime! You’re going to jail! 」

The guy smiles while looking at me.

「 Bad, bad, definitely bad. I hear that you’re in the good graces of some of the nobility. That’s over for you now. Even young ladies of nobility won’t go out with a criminal 」

「 You can’t cover it up. As you can see, the idiot Tsujimoto is down and we’re all witnesses here. Also, we have photos as evidence! There’s no way you can get away with this! Prepare yourself, you bastard! 」

He looks at me and tries to threaten me.

I…

「 Oh, I get it now. You were the one from earlier 」

I tell the idiot man

「 Huh, what earlier? 」

「 I mean, you were the one who had the idea of using that stupid idea, right? Like, the stupid play of telling Kurose-san that she has a bomb on her backpack 」

Ishigami Norio seems to be quite the abysmal idiot, but…

I can’t feel any of the evil from him.

Threatening us about bombs and hurting innocent people at this school festival.

Also, that evil thought of trying to peep at us from a distance with a camera and laughing at how scared we are.

It’s him.

Even now, he was hiding until the last minute, even using his master as a decoy.

Using words to threaten us.

「 Everything you do is cunning, wicked, vile, and vulgar. Those aren’t ideas coming from a son of a noble. So, it’s you, right? 」

「 Yeah, so what about it? 」

He thinks that he can scare off his enemies with a loud voice.

So hopeless.

「 Furthermore, everything you do is so half-hearted. You can only deceive elementary school kids with that 」

I said.

「 What the hell did you say?! I’m going to call the police right now! 」

Koda Shoukin screams.

「 If you have time to make a fuss then call the police 」

I said.

「 Huh?! Oh, what did you say bastard?! Do you think that I won’t make the call?! Once I press 110 the police will capture you right away! 」

「 So make a call?! 110, even 184 if you want 」

I replied calmly.

「 You’re the ones in trouble if the police come 」

「 W-What did you say! We’re the victims here! Look! Tsujimoto’s dying! 」

He’s not dying.

Edie’s skilled.

I…

「 Look, the four of us here are students of this school. There’s nothing weird with us being here. However, I’m the only guy here, and Edie’s an abroad student 」

Edie’s setting in this school is that she’s an international student from the US.

「 Meanwhile, you’re a bunch of men wearing black suits, which makes you ten suspicious. Even if this is a school festival where they allow outsides, don’t you think that’s too suspicious? 」

I look at Ishigami’s unit and said.

「 If something goes wrong and you get into a fight, you’ll the ones who will get questioned 」

In a 10v4 situation, the suspicious group will be the men who surrounded the enrolled students.

「 You call yourselves witnesses, but who do you think the police will believe the statement of ordinary students or the suspicious group’s statement? We can insist that the guy fell on his own and fainted, and you’ll never be able to prove Edie’s assault 」

「 Y-You won’t know until you try 」

Koda said.

「 We’re from the Ishigami house! We’re a noble family! If we’re to talk to the police, they’re going to believe us more than you! 」

You’re just a subordinate here, yet, you’re going to use the authority of your Master’s house?

But…

「 Still, if that happens, it won’t be just you, but also the son and daughter of the noble who will get questioned by the police, right? 」

I said.

「 Are you sure about that? You’re going to let the children of nobility get taken by the police for questioning. Won’t that be a newspaper story instead of a police matter? 」

「 S-Shoukin 」

Ishigami Norio looks at his subordinate, trembling.

「 I don’t want that. No police, no newspaper 」

Ishigami Mizuki speaks in displeasure.

「 Nonono, I’ll do something about that! 」

Kada Shoukin says something absurd

「 What will you do?! 」

Ishigami Mizuki asks.

「 T-That’s…Well, I’m a student in Tokei Uni’s law department! I’m a professional in law! 」

「 You’re not even a professional! You’re just a uni student 」

Nei said.

「 W-What are you talking about! Stupid! Idiot! You’re not even a university student!! 」

「 Obviously, we’re still high-schoolers 」

「 Yoshi-kun, is he an idiot? 」

Even Megu’s fed up with Kota.

「 What’s with you! L-Listen, look at this! 」

Kota Shoukin puts up his phone.

「 I have the proof here! The scene where she punched Tsujimoto! Take that, you bastard! Now we’re turning the tables! Now say sorry to me dammit!! 」

Haaaaa…

「 That half-hearted threat won’t work, didn’t I tell you. You see… 」

「 Yeah. You were hiding behind others until now after all 」

Megu told Koda Shoukin.

「 Right, you were hiding behind them, and so you can’t take photos! 」

Nei said.

「 The only ones you have on your phone are photos of Tsujimoto on the ground, right? 」

He hasn’t captured the moment where Edie knocked down Tsujimoto.

If it’s just a photo of him lying down, then that’s no evidence.

「 No, that’s not it, you stupid! I stretched out my arm from behind and took a photo! Yes, you there, you saw the Gaijin punch Tsujimoto in the face! Check it out! 」

He goes and lies again.

「 Yes, sure. You captured Edie’s fast movement with your phone! That’s amazing! Yeah! 」

Nei laughed.

「 Well, I’ve got great kinetic vision! Definitely amazing! So, I got the decisive moment captured! 」

「 Then you’re a superhuman then! Nope! You sure are an idiot 」

「 What did you say? You hit him, didn’t you? 」

Koda Shoukin points at Edie and shouts.

Then.

「 Nope. She didn’t hit Tsujimoto-san 」

Kurose Anju-san speaks.

Kurose-san remains guarding her master, Ishigami Mizuki said.

「 Stop it, you idiot! She hit Tsujimoto and that’s why he collapsed! 」

「 That’s what I’m telling you, she didn’t 」

Kurose-san said.

「 She kicked Tsujimoto-san 」

Yeah, she stretched out her hand on purpose to pretend that she was punching.

Edie kicked Tsujimoto at a quick speed.

「 Kufufu, talk about kinetic vision! 」

Nei laughs at Koda Shoukin!

「 Y-You kicked him! That’s still the same! Hey! 」

Edie’s not as half-baked as this guy.

She’s thorough with her preparations.

「 There was this old Japanese saying that “you look like a beaten up Buddha” 」

Edie speaks something dumb.

「 So, if it was kicked, who does he look like then? 」

He’s just ridiculing Koda at this point.

「 Dammit! You bastard! Hey hey! You still admitted that you kicked him! If they were to examine Tsujimoto’s body, they’ll find marks of your kick! Then the hospital can write a medical report and we can sue you! Dammit! 」

Koda Shoukin still sticks with his story.

「 That’s unlikely. Tsujimoto-san’s body doesn’t have any physical trauma. 」

Kurose-san said.

「 Kurose, how can you tell?! 」

Kota throws his stress at Kurose-san.

「 That’s because she used Qi on her kick. Tsujimoto-san collapsed not from a strong blow. He’s paralyzed because of the Qi. Even if you take him to the hospital, the diagnosis will only say that he slipped and fell 」

So she knows about Qi techniques too.

I see. Edie’s right, she’s definitely talented as a bodyguard.

「 What the hell even is Qi?! 」

As soon as Koda Shoukin said.

「 It’s something like this 」

Edie approached Koda and tapped his shoulder.

「 Meki!? 」

He made a weird noise and then fell unconscious in place.

「 We should take this guy to Tsukiko 」

Edie said.

「 Right. He should just forget about us and the nobility and toss him far away 」

I told the Ishigami siblings.

「 If you keep such an evil man, then his rotten roots will only stain the name of the Ishigami house 」

「 I’m not involved. Kota’s someone Norio-oniisama chose 」

Ishigami Mizuki said.

「 But, Kuromori-sama is right. Norio-oniisama asked Koda to save his face twice, but both of them were a disaster! 」

「 No, that’s. Mizuki 」

「 So, I’ll say it too. You shouldn’t have such a vulgar man to be your chief strategist 」

Koda’s his chief strategist.

Ishigami house seems so gloomy now.

「 Mizuki, you even praised Koda for coming up with such a bold plan! 」

「 I never gave that evaluation! It was your misinterpretation Norio-oniisama 」

And poor Ishigami siblings.

「 Well, are you still planning to have a discussion? 」

I asked.

「 T-That’s… 」

「 W-We will! That’s why we came all the way to this place! 」

Ishigami Mizuki stopped her brother and said.

Oh, she doesn’t care about the two collapsed men.

The young lady is coldhearted. She’s got a cold personality.

「 Then, as scheduled, we’re going to discuss inside this room 」

I open the door to the emergency broadcast room.

「 However, only Kurose-san and you two can enter. Everyone else has to remain here 」

「 The two who collapsed will wake up in an hour. Don’t worry about them 」

Edie told the black suits.

Hmm.

Kurose-san’s the only one who looked at her back.

Seeing her gaze, Kudou-papa’s at the end of the corridor.

He’s erasing his presence, so the Ishigami siblings and the black suits haven’t noticed yet.

「 Kurose-san, you should focus on what’s most important to you right now 」

I told Kurose-san.

What’s most important for bodyguards is to keep their master safe.

Kurose-san’s master right now is Ishigami Mizuki.

「 Ah, yes, you’re right 」

「 What are you doing, Anju. Get yourself together! 」

Ishigami Mizuki scolds her bodyguard in displeasure.

Kudou-papa sends me a sign from the other side of the corridor.

We’re going to talk to the Ishigami siblings in the broadcast room, and meanwhile.

He’ll clean up Tsujimoto, Kota, and the other black suits.

That helps.

「 Then, let’s go inside 」

「 Norio-oniisama, Anju, let’s go 」

「 Y-Yeah, Mizuki 」

「!! 」

Then, Nei, Megu, Edie and I.

The other side has Ishigami Norio, Ishigami Mizuki, and Kurose Anju-san.

The numbers have reversed, and we entered the room.
