I Was the Supporter of a Popular Dungeon Streamer, but the Power Harassment Was Too Much, so I Quit. I’m Useless Anyway, so It Shouldn’t Be a Problem, Right? Huh? The Views Are Dropping Like Crazy? - 59

Chapter 59: Isshiki vs. The Molester

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Stepping out of the elevator, we walked along the bustling street. A bunny girl onee-san and a handsome boy approached us, trying to lure us into their decadent world, but we ignored them and moved forward.

“If I had to stay here for a week, I might die from the stress.”

“I feel the same way.”

I glanced behind me. I had a feeling that a tough-looking, old man with a shaved head had been tailing us for a while. Donned in a suit and sunglasses, he was clearly not an honest  and upstanding citizen. Most importantly… He wasn’t looking at me, but at Isshiki-san.

“…Isshiki-san.”

“…I know. Let’s settle this as peacefully as possible without making a scene. If we run at full speed, we can easily shake him off.”

“…That’s true, but the street ahead is packed with people.”

A crowd had gathered on the street where a cabaret club and a host club stood facing each other. Isshiki-san and I stepped into the crowd of people.

“This works in our favor. We can shake him off—”

Though I couldn’t see clearly in the crowd, I caught a glimpse of Isshiki-san’s ears turning bright red.

“-!?”

“Isshiki-san?”

BAM!!

A deep, heavy sound rang out. As the people cleared away, I finally understood what had happened. Isshiki-san had delivered a roundhouse kick straight to the old man with a shaved head’s right cheek.

“Isshiki-san!?”

“…This bastard put his hand inside my underwear. I’ll kill him!!”

The old man with a shaved head stood back up, laughing.

“Hahahahaha! Never thought I’d find such a top-tier girl in this dump! And she’s strong too!”

The commotion caused the crowd to scatter. In their place, a group of men in black suits gathered.

“If the lady’s willing, she could make a few million in no time.Her face and body are top-notch. Though, her ass is a bit bigger than it looks, but there are guys into that.”

Isshiki-san’s face turned an even deeper crimson. These guys were seriously asking for death.

“That reaction… Don’t tell me, you’re still a virgin?”

Isshiki-san’s fist trembled. A visible aura of magic began to radiate from her.

“Oh, this is perfect! She’ll fetch an even better price!!”

“…Hey, hey, hey! Seriously, you’re gonna die! Just stop already, old man!”

“Die? Quit spouting nonsense!”

The old man with shaved head snapped his fingers, and the men in black pulled out their weapons—brass knuckles, knives, and the like. Just ordinary weapons. No OOPArt in sight.

“Alright, boys, let’s get a taste of her.”

A lustful glint flickered in the eyes of the men in black.

“What about the guy?” 

One of them asked.

“He’s not bad-looking either. We can sell him to a women’s—”

“【Moonlight Thunderstrike】!!”

A bolt of lightning shot from Isshiki-san, frying the man’s shaved head.

“Bwagh!?”

The old man with a shaved head collapsed. Isshiki-san lowered her head, muttering under her breath.

“…Stripping Hamura Shibuki naked, tying him up in a tortoiseshell bind, and doing this and that to him… That’s unfair… No, I mean… I-I won’t forgive them…!”

“Umm… Isshiki-san…?”

I couldn’t make out what she was saying, but I could tell she was absolutely livid.

“【Spider Web】”

Isshiki-san placed her hand on the concrete ground. From the point where her right hand touched, a web-like shadow spread outward.

“This is bad.”

I immediately jumped and grabbed onto a utility pole. The men in black who stepped onto the web-like shadow suddenly found themselves unable to lift their feet, as if they had been sewn to the ground.

【Spider Web】 was a binding spell. Anyone who stepped onto the manifested web-like shadow would be restrained in place for a set amount of time. That shadow functioned like a powerful adhesive. There was no way ordinary people could deal with this.

Isshiki-san, you learned another great spell, huh?

“Now then, how should I prepare my meal?”

No, this is really bad!!

“Isshiki-san! Behind you!!!”

A man in black behind Isshiki-san pulled a gun from his pocket. Even though Isshiki-san was tougher than a normal person thanks to enhancement magic, getting shot from a blind spot would be bad for her!

【Blue Flame】!

Activating 【Blue Flame】 without an incantation, I launched a fist-sized flame. But… I was just a moment too late—!

“Alright, that’s enough.”

The man’s gun was sliced clean in half. The thing that did it…. Was a yo-yo.

“This place is a gathering of outlaws. A lawless underground paradise. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t enforcers.”

The one wielding the yo-yo was a woman in a black tank top, likely in her mid-twenties. She wore only the tank top on top and hot pants below. Her hair was black, and her eyes were violet. A snake tattoo stretched from her left cheek down into the valley of her chest. A cigarette dangled from her lips, bobbing up and down as she spoke.

She looked like an outlaw herself, but since she helped us, she probably wasn’t an enemy.

“Don’t act too recklessly, boys.”

That yo-yo… Was it an OOPArt? Just as it was about to hit the gun, a blade of light extended from the yo-yo, spinning like a chainsaw to shred the firearm apart. She must be a powerful OOPArt user…

“Thank you. You saved us.”

When I said that, the woman gave me a thin smile.

“Don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t save you guys. I saved them.”

She glared at the men in black.

“Do you guys even realize who you just messed with? That woman over there is a Supporter of Abisu Yuiga. Had you damaged her… you’d be making an enemy of the 9th-ranked guild.”

“Hii—!?”

The men in black, along with the old man who had just come to his senses from being knocked out by Isshiki-san, turned deathly pale at that.

“Shit, that’s seriously bad news…!”

“Aniki, we should back off while we can…!”

“I know that! —S-Sorry!!!”

And with those flawless petty villain lines, the thugs ran off.

“Sorry about that. As a resident of this place, let me apologize.”

The woman said with an awkward smile on her face. 

“Recently, Amatsugahara got temporarily shut down, so a bunch of newcomers who lost their jobs ended up here and started causing trouble.”

Because of that Iizuka incident, huh. Ever since that case, Amatsugahara had reportedly been shut down for about a week. They must have overhauled their defense and detection systems.

“I’m Eika Hebiya. I kinda play the role of a cop around here. Just so you know, you guys wandering around this late at night isn’t exactly smart either.”

…What is this? My right arm… It’s itching? My right arm… No, Cyan, is reacting to this woman…?

“Well then, see you around.”

And with that, the woman—Hebiya-san—vanished into the night.
