Chapter 19: Akihabara Expedition

It was night time time as the bandits were on their way to venture into Akihabara, the bustling hub of technology and commerce.

Their mission: to gather supplies for the camp and stock up on essentials like food, water, and other supplies.

They decided to take Kazuya with them.

As they made their way through the crowded streets, the bandits chatted amongst themselves, their voices filled with excitement and anticipation.

"So, what's first on the shopping list?" Toma asked, falling into step beside Jun.

"We need to pick up some more tents and blankets," she replied, her eyes scanning the bustling marketplace. "With the rainy season approaching, we need to make sure everyone has a dry place to sleep."

Mousa nodded in agreement, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city around them. "We need to also buy some chicken noodles! It's been a while since i ate those!"

Jun then elbowed Mousa. "We need to get important things first! Our budget is limited!"

Mousa pouted like a child while Shota just chuckled.

Kazuya was silently listening, he was just following them as he looked at his surroundings.

Everywhere he looked, there were brightly lit storefronts and colorful displays, each one vying for the attention of passersby.

As they navigated their way through the crowded streets, Kazuya couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the sheer variety of goods on offer. From high-tech gadgets to traditional Japanese crafts, Akihabara truly had something for everyone.

But as they reached the outskirts of the marketplace, their jovial mood was suddenly shattered by the sound of raised voices up ahead.

"What's going on over there?" Toma asked, his curiosity piqued.

As they rounded the corner, they came face to face with a group of thugs who were accosting a young girl, her face contorted in fear.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Mousa demanded, stepping forward to intervene.

The thugs turned their attention towards the newcomers, their expressions hostile and menacing.

"Mind your own business," one of them growled, brandishing a knife. "This girl owes us money, and we're here to collect."

Junfelt a surge of anger welling up inside her as she watched the scene unfold.

But she couldn't take it anymore and she stepped forward.

"You boys have some nerve huh? Leave her or I'm going beat you up"

The gang member continued to shout at them. "You idiots better go away or else we'll beat you as well!"

"Hey why don't we take this girl along with us! She's quite the beauty" Another gang member commented.

Jun was pissed, and wanted to deal with these guys herself, but Toma stopped her from doing so.

"At least tell us how much she owes you, maybe we can find a solution and negotiate" he said, his voice stern and resolute.

"Awww, we wanted this chick for ourselves, but I guess you're right, we should be civil about this" The gang member said.

The gang member thought for a moment until he smiled wickedly. "Okay, we will let her go for if you lend us that one!" The gangster pointed at Jun

Toma glared at the gang member. "You can't be serious, I thought you wanted money."

The gangster chuckled "Yea we did, but me and the boys want to have fun tonight, and this bitch was in our menu, but if you wanna take her away from us then it should be fair if you lend us that girl" the gang member said while licking his lips.

Mousa was angered by that request. " I'm tired of talking with these bastards, I'm going beat the shit out of these idiots."
