Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

His eyes were constantly following the ever-changing data on the virtual screen. Suddenly, his rapidly moving eyes stopped for a moment, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

"The direction of the branch is not important."

……

The Eighth School District, the "Leo" Base!

If it were a normal, incapable armed group, people would probably imagine an abandoned factory, a concrete floor, and exposed steel bars.

However, this powerless armed group called "Leo" is fundamentally different from other powerless armed groups.

The headquarters was indeed located in an abandoned area of ​​the Eighth School District, just like the other incapable armed groups.

But the situation at the garrison was completely different.

The building is clean, tidy, and has been repainted.

The automatic rotating door has two huge money trees on either side of it, and the interior floor is entirely paved with white ceramic tiles.

The reception desk, elevator, and everything else are all there, nothing is missing.

This is why the incapable armed group called "Leo" is fundamentally different from other incapable armed groups.

Other incapable armed groups still operate on a superficial basis.

He was aggressive and violent, always fighting, bullying younger students, and robbing them.

Some people go even further, smuggling guns, trafficking drugs, and forcing girls into prostitution; these things also happen in more chaotic areas.

This was the place that was once called the Eighth District.

However, after being integrated by Makoto Haramura, this place was completely transformed.

Makoto Haramura shut down all illegal establishments in the Eighth Ward, ensuring that drugs could not possibly enter any part of the Eighth Ward.

As for making a living, it comes from operating KTVs, bars, and massage parlors, which are industries that are generally considered to be in a rather shady or unethical way.

In this city, operating a legitimate business definitely has a place.

However, those who have engaged in shady dealings cannot tolerate the long payback period of legitimate industries.

However, Makoto Haramura is a good candidate.

Inside Makoto Haramura's office on the top floor of the building.

"Brother Cheng".

"Well, although your way of addressing me is quite accurate, I don't know why, but when you call me that, I always feel a kind of kidney pain."

"Could you please stop calling me that from now on, Freya?"

The large office chair was a perfect fit for Makoto Haramura, whose physique was now comparable to that of an adult.

In his arms was a young girl.

She was about seven or eight years old, with slender limbs, soft, flowing wavy blonde hair, fair skin, and clear, bright blue eyes.

Overall, she looks like a doll living in the real world.

Looking at her clothes, you'd be even more likely to think that way.

The outfit features a white and pink color scheme, adorned with fluffy ruffles and lace, and paired with a mini skirt and thick pink stockings.

This is a design that you only see in figurines and games.

"Probably not."

"After all, Makoto is Makoto."

"I don't want any other way of addressing you."

The blonde little girl sat in Haramura Makoto's lap, swinging her little legs as if splashing water. When she heard what Haramura Makoto said, the corners of her mouth turned up high, but her gaze was fixed on the computer screen in front of her, quite focused.

"Is that so? Then let's just stop here."

"It's just that a little girl shouldn't be playing such a bloody game."

That's right, what captivated this little girl named Fremia was neither anime nor games for girls.

And a game called Resident Evil, where you fight zombies and everything can only be described as bloody and violent.

"Oh no, no!"

"They really went through a lot of trouble to get to this level."

When her most cherished possession was threatened, the little girl immediately submitted to Haramura Makoto's tyranny. The hands that were originally holding the mouse and pressing the keyboard were now tightly holding Haramura Makoto's left hand, which was already reaching for the power button.

"So what should they call you?"

"Brother Haramura is too distant."

Not playing games is absolutely impossible for her; it's Freya Sevilen's spiritual sustenance, the result of five whole days of hard work.

And to add to that, she had to use all her charm and pleading to get her hands on the game.

Therefore, we have no choice but to compromise on this.

"Then just call me brother. In any case, we can forget about calling him Cheng-ge from now on."

"Okay, although I still think Cheng-gege is better."

The girl nodded helplessly in agreement; no matter what, the game was more important right now.

After this somewhat perfunctory response, her little hand prepared to cover the mouse again and start her game-clearing journey anew.

"Alright, that's enough time for today."

"Also, isn't today the day your sister is visiting you? Go wash your face and get ready."

Makoto Haramura, on the other hand, grabbed Fremia by the back of her collar and lifted her off his lap.

"Oh dear, I completely forgot."

Stick out your tongue, tilt your head, close one eye, and tap your head.

For some reason, Makoto Haramura always felt a sense of déjà vu with this series of actions.

"Hanzo, take Freya there later, and then wait for her sister to call you before picking her up."

As Makoto Haramura spoke toward the empty doorway, the door suddenly opened.

A man who wasn't very tall, even short, dressed in all black, with a white cross pattern on his black shirt.

"Yes, I will protect Miss Freya's safety."

Of course, the man named Hanzo was not the only one to enter this room.

And there's another man, as tall as a gorilla, covered in muscles.

"Is there something wrong in Komaba?"

Chapter 016 Trace Processing

This was a burly man, as big as a gorilla, with bulging, knotted muscles beneath his shirt that looked as if they could burst the shirt open at any moment.

"Boss, I have something to report."

Contrary to his extremely destructive appearance, the man's voice was quite calm.

"I see."

"Go, take Freya with you, Hanzo."

Fremia is usually the mischievous type, but when it comes to serious matters, she never causes trouble.

Like now, she obediently went out with Hanzo.

"Please sit down, Komaba."

Toshitoku Komaba was the former leader of the powerless armed group "Skill Out," whose territory was located in the 7th School District.

Similarly, the man named Hattori Hanzo and the girl Fremia Sevilen were both members of 'Skill Out'.

They were here because they were targets chosen by Makoto Haramura in order to extend his influence into the Seventh School District.

Is it just about controlling the eighth school district?

Makoto Haramura was certainly not satisfied, so it was only natural that he would occupy a place in the most chaotic and complex Seventh School District.

Therefore, with Komaba Toshitoku as the leader, a leader of an incompetent armed group whose style of doing things was somewhat similar to his own, Haramura Makoto's primary target naturally became.

Komaba Toshitoku was indeed captivated by Haramura Makoto's personal charm.

There was no bloodshed or anything like that; it was a very smooth and peaceful situation. Komaba Toshitoku relinquished his leadership role, took the entire "Skill Out" team to join "Leo," and handed over the territory he held in the Seventh District to "Leo."

"Boss, according to the information, 'Big Spider' has been reorganized and established."

"Reorganize? [Unintelligible characters]"

"What, he's back?"

Haramura Makoto, who was twirling his pen, suddenly paused, and raised his head, which had been lowered to look at the documents.

"That's what I wanted to say."

“If it were that man returning, there would be no need to report to you at all; that’s the problem.”

Toshitoku Komaba handed the notebook he was carrying to Makoto Haramura.

Makoto Haramura didn't waste any time and immediately opened the file to browse through the documents.

The amount of content inside is quite large, but given Makoto Haramura's fast browsing speed, he finished reading it very quickly.

"Smuggling, forcing girls into prostitution, now all that's missing is drug trafficking, and this guy has it all."

He closed the laptop immediately, having completely lost interest in looking at the rest.

"I understand what you mean."

"This is completely unrelated to the previous sentence and can be interpreted as a series of seemingly random characters and symbols."

"Yes, Boss."

Komaba Toshitoku nodded directly.

Despite his burly appearance, Komaba Toshitoku is actually quite meticulous.

However, Makoto Haramura, who knew Komaba Toshitoku very well, could see right through him.

"So what?"

Makoto Haramura simply countered with a rhetorical question, pushing the issue back to him.

"You need to understand one thing: no matter what, a person's personality can change drastically after some events."

"This kind of 'Big Spider' can no longer be allowed to exist."

"We cannot allow such a disorderly and unscrupulous organization to operate within our sphere of influence."

The ballpoint pen in my hand started spinning again.

"I know you admire [the character's] skill and elegance, but [the character's] shrewdness and grace are truly admirable."

"You haven't forgotten our goal, have you?"

Komaba Toshitoku fell completely silent, unable to answer any of Haramura Makoto's questions.

He certainly wouldn't forget their goal.

To control all the powerless armed groups in Academy City and bring the entire Academy City under their control.

This is to protect those without abilities who are bullied by those with abilities, and also to stop those without abilities from seeking revenge or causing trouble for those with abilities.

This includes eliminating places of prostitution.

This was his goal, and he had done so before, but he was subdued by Makoto Haramura, who was more capable than him.

Therefore, what Makoto Haramura said is correct.

If it were the original 'Big Spider,' they could ignore it, but if it's the current 'Big Spider,' then it must be eliminated.

In particular, the 'Big Spider' is located in the 10th school district.

This is the worst school district in the entire Academy City, with the worst public security and filled with polluting research facilities.

This kind of local treatment will not cause any chain reaction.
