Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Celty recovered his head, but the matter was not over yet.

Next, the data and evidence recording the illegal activities of [Yagiri Pharmaceutical] President must be handed over to the police.

Of course, this matter is not difficult. Fujimaru Ritsuka also entrusted it to Kato Danzo.

The next day, he got up later than usual. Kato Danzo had successfully completed the mission and returned to Chaldea. The rest was between the police and [Yagiri Pharmaceutical].

Therefore, they only have one task left today——

Find the Ikebukuro Killer.

Celty and the others were entrusted with the clues about Kishitani Morihan, and Haibara Ai was entrusted with finding out the true identity of the users who were circulating in various chat rooms on the Internet under the name "Song of Sin".

The rest of them went to Ikebukuro as usual, looking for the mysterious girl who studied at Raira Academy and was suspected of being the holder of the [Song of Sin].

…

…

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

As soon as they arrived in Ikebukuro, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others encountered a group fight that was coming to an end.

"Ah, it's Mr. Shizuo!"

Shizuo Heiwajima stood in the middle of the road, holding the last remaining person in his hand. The ground around him was already covered with beaten and unconscious gangsters, just like a landfill.

So to be precise, the term "group fight" is not appropriate. It should be Shizuo Heiwajima who beat up a group of rabble.

"Master? Miss Ritsuka?"

"Bang!"

On the other side, Heiwajima Shizuo also noticed Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, so he punched the little bastard in his hand into sleep, then threw him aside and walked towards Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at the gangsters on the ground and asked curiously:

"What's going on?"

"Sorry, I don't really understand either."

Shizuo Heiwajima scratched his head irritably and said with a depressed look:

"I was walking fine on the road, and these guys suddenly surrounded me and started looking for trouble for no reason, and then..."

That’s what it is now.

"——'Heiwajima Shizuo has become weak', maybe it's because of such rumors."

The voice came from a van parked on the side of the road. The speaker was sitting in the passenger seat and was a young man wearing a black knitted hat.

There were three other companions in the van, including the driver, who were looking at the people curiously through the window.

"It's Kadota."

Seeing the person coming, Heiwajima Shizuo simply said hello, then frowned slightly and asked:

"What do you mean by the rumors you just mentioned?"

"That's what it means literally. There have been rumors recently that your strength has become weaker, so there are idiots like these who don't overestimate their own abilities, and they plan to take away the title of [Ikebukuro's Strongest] from you, right?"

As Kadoda Kyohei answered, his eyes glanced at the gangsters lying on the ground, and he said with some surprise:

"But it is true that the noise you create when fighting now is much smaller than before."

The scene of Shizuo Heiwajima fighting can be said to be the most famous unique point of Ikebukuro.

The gangsters often fly out one by one in an exaggerated manner like in the comics, and occasionally there are street lights, street signs, vending machines, etc. that fly out with them...

It's like a scene from another dimension.

Seeing such a scene, everyone will clearly realize that Shizuo Heiwajima is an invincible super monster.

But the scene in front of me now looked like it was just a situation caused by an ordinary person who was very good at fighting. It was incredibly mediocre compared to before.

Even he had some doubts for a moment. Has Shizuo Heiwajima really become weaker?

"I have never said what I am [the strongest in Ikebukuro], and I am not interested at all."

"As for the current situation..."

Heiwajima Shizuo first denied the title, and then in response to the doubts raised by Kadoda Kyohei, he couldn't help but slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"It's just that I've gained a little more control recently."

Having said that, he is obviously very satisfied with his progress.

During recent fights, he still had trouble suppressing his anger, but he didn't lose his mind like before, and he was even able to take the initiative to withdraw his strength like now.

Thinking of this, he felt even more grateful to Matthew.

"Resist?"

Kadoda Kyohei's eyes widened in surprise. It was hard to imagine that this word would one day appear on Heiwajima Shizuo. Then, he couldn't help but sigh:

"If that's the case, you have become weaker. You have become stronger."

"Really? Whatever. I just hope this kind of trouble can stay away from me in the future."

However, while the two were chatting, one of the knocked down gangsters got up with difficulty, swaying, and looked at Heiwajima Shizuo with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly noticed Fujimaru Ritsuka and his party standing in front of Heiwajima Shizuo. The two sides were standing so close. The other party must be someone close to Heiwajima Shizuo, right?

Even if you can't beat the opponent head-on, as long as you can grasp the opponent's weakness...

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and gradually became fierce.

The next moment, he suddenly pulled out a fruit knife from his arms and sprinted towards Fujimaru Ritsuka with all his strength!

"——?!"

"Senior, be careful!"

Mashu immediately stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka after noticing the opponent's actions.

Heiwajima Shizuo, who reacted, was also ready to act, but at this moment, Pest, who had remained silent, stepped forward and kicked the opponent in the abdomen.

"Bang!"

The next moment, accompanied by a somewhat exaggerated sound, the opponent flew backwards, rolled dozens of meters on the road, and finally hit the railing on the roadside, and completely fainted.

Pest put his foot down easily, with a look of disgust:

"Tsk. This level of trash... still want to sneak attack..."

However, on the other side, everyone who witnessed all this, including Kadota Kyohei, looked at Pest in disbelief.

Was the exaggerated attack just now caused by this little girl?

Is it true?

It was scary enough to have Shizuo Heiwajima, and now there is another little monster?

Shizuo Heiwajima was also a little surprised, but when he thought about the fact that the other party could always follow Fujimaru Ritsuka, and looked at Mashu, he was soon relieved.

At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka said to Pest:

"You didn't kick that guy to death directly?"

"Don't worry, I know the severity."

Pest replied nonchalantly:

"It's probably just a dozen broken bones."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was relieved immediately.

"Oh, that's not bad."

How can a dozen broken bones be called "not bad", right?

Hearing their conversation, Kadota Kyohei was immediately confused and couldn't help asking Heiwajima Shizuo:

"I say, who are these ladies...?"

Hearing this, Heiwajima Shizuo finally reacted and said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Sorry, let me introduce him first. His name is Kadota Kyohei, and he is an acquaintance I have known since high school."

"This is my master Mashu, and there are Miss Fujimaru Ritsuka and Miss Peste."

"Master?"

Kadota Kyohei was slightly startled and looked at Mashu in surprise.

He did hear that Heiwajima Shizuo had a master, but he didn't know that it was such a lovely girl.

But...

Thinking back to Peste's performance just now, he was a little dazed, and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and others with a hint of unusual meaning in his eyes.

Could it be that these girls are so powerful?
