I think I'm going senile. So... This chapter should follow right after "King of the Streets", but I forgot to post it... Please reread the ending of it, then this one, and then everything latter will make much more sense.

'In a gang.

Saving a guy.

Have a kid with me.

Need help'

And… Send.

It has always been a mystery for me how people can type fast on their phones. For some reason, the women seem to be most capable in that regard. I heard that in ancient times when phones had buttons, some females could type a message with one hand while having their phone in the purse…

Seems like Murakami also was very capable in that matter. It wasn't long after I sent her my message before I received a reply:

'Ok. Be there soon

🚲'

"…"

I put the phone into my pocket and looked around. Yuki, Ryunosuke (the name of our guide, the guy with a large chin), and I were sitting together with forty more people around a large metal cross. It was loud. Everyone was speaking and having fun. Many people had weapons. It was quite dangerous just to be around that bunch…

And now I had to find a way to free a prisoner of their... That will be troublesome, to say the least.

I shifted my gaze to a small construction trailer that was standing a little bit farther to the right. It was the home of the leader of that gang. The so-called Boss.

According to what Ryunosuke had told me, the Boss will be going out soon and announcing the punishment for Siro. So, the only thing that I could do now was to wait. I could try to free Siro right now, but Ryunosuke wasn't letting me go. He wanted to show me to the boss right after the execution.

Yeah. Execution…

To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what they were going to do with Siro… Will they really kill him? I mean, I doubt they will. Most of the people in that gang were still going to school, however… Children are capable of some terrible things.

The only way to know was to wait.

After twenty more minutes, everyone went silent and turned to the trailer.

The door of it opened and a person walked down the stairs.

It was a woman.

A girl.

She was wearing leather boots and shorts. Her hair was long and black. She had a long coat on her shoulders. It was unbuttoned, so you could see the black t-shirt that she was wearing.

By the way, her chest was… Large. Also, the girl was very tall, a little bit taller even than Murakami was.

Once she appeared, everyone started looking at that girl, me included. Then, I noticed someone else besides her. It was another girl. She was much shorter and was dressed in a simple school uniform. Her hair was short and only reached her chin. Her face was a little bit childish.

"It's the boss," whispered Ryunosuke. "She's very strong, a General! Because of her, our gang placed fourth in the district. And the other girl besides is her right hand…"

Fourth place… A general…

I nodded and checked the attributes of this duo.

First, the Boss:

[Height: 1.74m

Str: D-

End: D-

Int: C+

SP: Whip-mastery: D-

Character type:　Villain

Favorite color: Black

Favorite band: No

Favorite movie: Titanic

82:54:80]

I see… Then, my gaze shifted to the smaller girl beside her:

[Height: 1.54m

Str: E

End: E

Int: A-

SP: Slingshot: E+

Character type:　Villain

Favorite color: Red

66:49:65]

Well, this duo was dangerous.

During our talk, Ryunosuke had explained to me the way this "delinquent gang warfare" setting worked. There were several districts. In each of them, many gangs were thriving. They were many kinds of them and no one was quite like the others.

Each gang was led by a General. The black-haired girl was such General.

Above generals, there was Daimyo. The Daimyos were ruling the entire district.

And above the Daimyo was the King of the Streets. The strongest street fighter in the city, he was a true monster. Even Daimyos could crash concrete with their bare hands, while the kind of the street was even stronger than that.

Ryunosuke himself had never seen the king.

But he heard that his fists were as strong as falling stars…

All of this sounded ridiculous, and yet the most horrible thing is that all of it could be true. After all, I was living in a crazy world right now.

By the way, in the Boss, the black-haired girl was a General with D- in her main Martial Skill, then I should be on a General level too, I guess… How many people can I beat by myself? I wasn't sure.

By the way, I wonder how strong was the duo of antagonists from the kendo setting that I had met before. One of them had [C] in the Kendo attribute; he was much stronger than I am right now, so he might even be at a Daimyo level.

Does it mean that he can crush concrete?..

While I was thinking all that stuff, the black-haired girl and her friend walked toward the steel cross. People around were shouting their names:

"It's her, the Boss! And Ringo-sama!"
