Upon witnessing the situation, Yoshihiro instantly turned pale, cold sweat pouring down his face.
He endured the pain in his abdon and raised his hand to beg for rcy from Fuyutsuki Shiori,"Wait, wait, wait!"
"No, no, no! You don't need to hit anymore."
"I admit it! I admit that I installed this cara."
"I lost my mind today and bought a cara to play with. I saw that the restroom was a suitable spot and installed it there."
"But it was just a spur of the mont. I didn't intend to record anything."
Hearing Fuyutsuki Shiori's threat to call the boss, Yoshihiro imdiately chickened out.
Because this cara was indeed installed by him, a single phone call would instantly expose him.
At that point, even if the boss was a friend of his, there was no doubt he would be fired.
Losing his job was a small issue, but committing such an act would ruin his social standing entirely. He'd not only struggle to find work again, but he might even end up in jail. So, he imdiately caved.
Hearing this, Fuyutsuki Shiori sneered coldly:"Haha, a spur of the mont? I think you were planning to secretly record and Yui using the restroom."
"Fortunately, soone found out in ti and nothing was recorded. Otherwise, it would've been disgusting."
"You disgusting pervert! Creepy old man!"
"You usually look at Yui and with those perverted eyes. I never thought you'd actually do sothing like this. Disgusting! So disgusting!"
"I'm calling the police right now to have them take you away."
With that, Fuyutsuki Shiori pulled out her phone again.
Seeing that she was serious about calling the police, Yoshihiro panicked even more this ti.
He begged repeatedly:"Wait! Shiori! Please don't call the police!"
"Think about it, if you report , I'll be taken away, and this store will get a new manager."
"Do you think the new boss will still hire two unrelated high school girls like you?"
"Plus, with a scandal like this in the store, just think about the consequences."
"If I'm arrested, you both might lose your jobs too—it'll be a lose-lose situation."
To be fair, Yoshihiro's words were rather effective on Fuyutsuki Shiori.
Because Nakaizumi Yui's mother didn't earn much, and her father had been dead for who knows how many years, a single adult couldn't support the household.
So both Fuyutsuki Shiori and Nakaizumi Yui desperately needed this job.
Faced with the risk of unemploynt, even the usually independent and strong Fuyutsuki Shiori hesitated. She turned her head and looked at Hikari, whom she had co to trust.
This was a decision she couldn't make herself, so she left it to soone else.
Seeing the look Fuyutsuki Shiori gave him, Hikari smiled and said,"Not calling the police is fine, but for doing sothing so disgusting, he has to be punished, right?"
Hikari also understood that the police in this world of 2D were like Schrödinger's police.
So might be diligent and competent, maybe even extraordinary.
But most 2D police wouldn't lift a finger, and so female officers even ended up serving gangsters. It was absurdly ridiculous.
For a case like Yoshihiro's, where he attempted a cri but recorded nothing, chances were he'd just take a stroll through the system and co right back out.
For a scumbag like him, that outco was far too kind. So Hikari didn't really intend to call the police either.
Hearing Hikari's words and seeing the deliberate glint in his eyes, Fuyutsuki Shiori, who had been staring intently at his handso face, seed to understand his intention.
She turned back and sneered at Yoshihiro,"Not calling the police isn't impossible."
"But as Hikari-kun said, you have to face so punishnt!"
"How about this? Kneel down right now and apologize for your disgusting behavior, bark like a dog a few tis, and slap yourself while admitting your mistake. If you do that, I won't call the police."
Hearing Fuyutsuki Shiori's demand, Yoshihiro felt humiliated. As the store manager, it was utterly degrading to be treated like this by a re employee.
But to avoid her calling the police, he endured the humiliation and complied.
[Ding! Detected that the host successfully thwarted Yoshihiro's lecherous acts against Fuyutsuki Shiori, upholding the spirit of pure love]
[Reward: Pure Love Points 50]
[Ding! Detected that under the host's guidance, Fuyutsuki Shiori punished the lecher Yoshihiro, greatly upholding the spirit of pure love]
[Reward: Pure Love Points 200]
After Yoshihiro completed the humiliating actions, the system's reward notifications sounded in Hikari's mind.
As expected, letting heroines handle scumbags yielded more rewards.
Hikari was pleased. Fuyutsuki Shiori had been quite cooperative today.
A slight look and a few words were all it took for her to grasp his intentions.
Perhaps it was because Fuyutsuki Shiori was already an excellent student at school and had developed a strong survival ability after her parents' deaths. She was quick to adapt.
However, Hikari was sowhat dissatisfied that Fuyutsuki Shiori was still constrained by her identity as a high school girl.
The punishnt for a scumbag like Yoshihiro was far too lenient.
He had intended to violate her purity.
Such a person deserved nothing less than to be utterly destroyed—perhaps even killed outright.
But since Fuyutsuki Shiori had taken action, Hikari let it be. After all, she was just a beautiful yet ordinary high school girl. Expecting too much from her wasn't reasonable.
Dealing with soone like Yoshihiro wasn't difficult, but Hikari wasn't inclined to act personally anymore.
Instead, he had been contemplating nurturing the heroines in this twisted world to rise up, regain their intelligence, and fight back against these degenerates.
This was sothing the system encouraged, but earlier, as a newly activated host, he hadn't dared to take risks. Now, however, he had grown much stronger, giving him the confidence to execute his plans.
Yoshihiro's fate would now rest in Fuyutsuki Shiori's hands.
This was also why Hikari had acted subtly today, refraining from killing Yoshihiro outright or incinerating him with a fire spell.
With these thoughts, Hikari didn't bother with them further and walked out of the convenience store.
Fuyutsuki Shiori cast a disgusted look at Yoshihiro before following him out.
"Um… are you… your na is Hikari Nakamura, right? I think we go to the sa school," Shiori said, quickening her pace to catch up with Hikari after they left the convenience store. She took the initiative to greet him.
Hikari raised his eyebrows in surprise. Judging by her uniform, they did seem to attend the sa school.
However, he had never seen Shiori before, yet she knew his na.
Was it because, in recent days, he had been surrounded by several stunningly beautiful girls, drawing so much attention that he had beco one of the school's most talked-about figures?
Hikari's thoughts raced, but he didn't delay in responding to Shiori: "Yeah, I'm Hikari."
Shiori blinked her eyes and said to him, "I've heard classmates talk about a super handso guy nad Hikari at school. I didn't believe soone like that existed. But now that I've t you, I realize they actually understated how good-looking you are."
"Oh, by the way! My na is Fuyutsuki Shiori. My classroom is just one floor above yours."
"Thank you so much for helping with what happened today. Thank you!"
As she spoke, Shiori bowed deeply to Hikari, and her ample figure swayed several tis.
Although it couldn't compare to the likes of Natsuha or Akane, who were extraordinarily gifted, she was still noticeably more voluptuous than the average high school girl, with a very pleasing shape.
Faced with this cute high school girl's gratitude, Hikari calmly waved his hand: "No need to thank ; it was just a small effort."
If it had been any ordinary guy, receiving such heartfelt thanks from a beauty like Shiori might have made them overly excited or ecstatic.
However, after enduring the repeated "critiques" (or blows) from the likes of Mira, Mifuyu Yukino, Natsuha, and Akane Nanao, Hikari had almost beco immune to such things.
The only exception was Miss Mira, who could still make him lose his composure sowhat. As for other beauties, Hikari could now face them with complete composure.
Shiori could tell Hikari wasn't playing hard to get; he genuinely didn't consider this matter worth much thought.
Still, she felt extrely grateful. What might be a small favor to soone else could be a monuntal act of kindness for her.
Shiori pulled out her phone and asked Hikari: "Um, I'd like to treat you to a al soti to thank you for helping out. Could we exchange contact information?"
"That way, if Yoshihiro—uh, that perverted pig of a store manager—causes any trouble again, I could also consult with you."
"Having Hikari-kun around makes feel so much more reassured."
Hikari calmly took out his phone and casually exchanged contact details with Shiori.
He then asked: "The store manager in that convenience store is such a person. Do you still plan to keep working there, Shiori-san?"
Shiori sighed and said helplessly: "I don't want to work there or be around such a disgusting, lecherous person."
"But I'm just an ordinary high school girl. My parents… well, I won't complain to you about my life."
"The point is, I'm short on money. And as a high school student, it's not easy to find jobs willing to hire ."
"This convenience store job is already pretty good. I only got it thanks to my cousin Yui Nakaizumi's connections."
"Besides, this ti, that pig of a manager was taught a harsh lesson. I believe he won't dare act on any bad intentions again. After all, he's just a worker himself, not the owner."
Hearing Shiori's explanation, Hikari nodded in understanding.
The world was like that sotis—forcing you into tough situations, compelling you to do things you disliked but couldn't avoid. He could understand.
Seeing Hikari's acknowledgnt, Shiori smiled. Looking at his handso face, she said, "Also, if Yoshihiro tries anything again, I can always co to you for help, right?"
"I think you're amazing, Hikari-kun. You sent him flying with just one kick."
"And you completely controlled the situation. He didn't even dare use the 'I'll call the police' card against you. Instead, you had him wrapped around your finger."
"I think you're incredible—like a reliable adult!"
As she said this, Shiori moved a little closer to Hikari, her faint fragrance wafting into the air.
Hearing her words, Hikari smiled. The reason he could handle Yoshihiro so easily and skillfully might have sothing to do with the countless "minotaur" types he'd been taking down recently. In that area, he was already highly experienced and confident.
Though Hikari didn't think much of it, to Shiori, his actions seed seamless, leaving her thoroughly impressed.
Compared to Yoshihiro, the pig-like "minotaur" manager, Hikari found Shiori far more intriguing.
It wasn't because he was attracted to her beauty but because he thought she was pretty smart.
She knew to proactively seek his support—like earlier when she frad her request to rely on him in the form of a statent rather than a question.
Perhaps it was because she had lost her parents early and had to live independently. Shiori was indeed very clever, resilient, and particularly perceptive in so matters.
For example, she had long noticed Yoshihiro's perverted and evil nature but, limited by her status as a high school student and store employee, couldn't resolve the situation herself.
Her approach to Hikari was similar. Shiori vaguely sensed that Hikari was far from being just an extraordinarily handso high school student.
That serene deanor and an indescribable sense of otherworldly grace—like a crane among chickens no matter the crowd—deeply resonated with her.
Maybe her own loneliness, stemming from her parents' loss, created a subtle sense of connection.
In any case, she had already made up her mind to hold onto Hikari, the "golden thigh."
Without hiding her intentions, Shiori stared at Hikari's handso face for a while.
Of course, Hikari could see through the young girl's thoughts. However, he neither exposed nor comnted on them.
He didn't mind Shiori's cleverness or her intention to rely on him.
After all, it didn't cost him anything.
On the contrary, it might even benefit him. If Shiori wanted to rely on him, why shouldn't he use her to earn "pure love points" or experint a little?
Finding a smart, useful supporting female lead like her wasn't that easy. Might as well cultivate her and see where it went.
