Chapter 389 – Preparation.
Ridiculous actions of juvenile offenders.
However, calling it a social chaos feels a bit ambiguous in scale.
On the flip side, disregarding it entirely isn’t possible since the number of victims is surprisingly high.
For juvenile offenders, they’ve actually been pretty clever.
I thought about chasing after the kids as is, but first, I decided to calm down the heroines.
If it weren’t for Caressy still somewhat sane, that is.
“Who the f*ck customized my chest to the lowest possible size!!!”
“No wonder my coins went down the drain; I thought it was just in-game! Hahaha!!!”
“Elcia, that’s just how it was meant to be…”
“If it’s a game world, then send me to a god game! Solo! Rictcle! Sudden 2!”
“……Can you name a real game instead of those fake ones…?”
“Ah, my bad.”
The rest of them, much like those people, hadn’t escaped the chaos either.
Still, after some time calming the heroines down with Caressy, they finally started to regain their composure.
“…….Are you saying this chest isn’t fake…? It wasn’t blanked out on purpose…?”
“My coins being ruined is real after all…”
“After all, this can’t be the world of Nobelpia games. There’s no way it exists since it shut down services in just a week.”
Some were swallowed up by the bleak reality.
[But the newly renewed game will likely last longer than this novel.]
‘……Why haven’t we gone down yet… It seemed like it was about to end…’
In any case, since the heroines seemed to have recovered somewhat.
I immediately turned my gaze to Lee Da-hye.
“Is it true that four of them are causing a ruckus?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
According to Lee Da-hye, those crazy juvenile offenders were indeed four in total.
This information was truly fortunate for us.
“So when did they start acting like that?”
“A little while ago!”
If there were many more, it could get a bit overwhelming for us no matter who we were.
“Is there a leader or someone like that?”
“There’s a leader of the group! They’re the smallest and the youngest, but their pride is as high as an idiot’s!”
“Got it, I’ll keep that in mind.”
That doesn’t mean they’re easy targets to face.
Considering what Lee Da-hye had said before and situations I witnessed directly, it was certain two of them were ability users.
And quite tricky abilities at that.
The big juvenile who looked like a sixth grader was likely a teleportation user.
Meanwhile, the one who made the young man watching the story despair must have an ability related to spirit formation or invisibility.
And my hypothesis was.
“So what are their abilities?”
“The sixth grader from earlier moves around instantly! And the girl suddenly becomes invisible!”
Through Lee Da-hye’s words, it finally became established canon.
“Shinwoo, what are you going to do now? Just hit them?”
“Well, I don’t think that’s going to be easy.”
However, it was true that problems were still remaining.
To be honest, as I mentioned before, their mischief was rather ambiguous in nature.
Some confusion and monetary loss occurred, but from a legal perspective, it was, at first glance, not enough to haul them in.
“What do you mean, husband! It’d be more humanitarian to forcefully take my coins!”
“……Why are there two words with conflicting meanings in one sentence?”
Plus, it was obvious they weren’t hunters, and they existed entirely outside the legal boundaries as civilians.
Hitting such juvenile offenders? Especially by a hunter who lacks human rights?
“If you hit them, it’s the same as if a mental patient hit someone, so maybe you’d be cut some slack?”
“Are you going to keep talking like that?”
That day would surely be when I realized how many charges exist under Korean law.
“So you’re saying I’m wrong? Are you confident in going to a hospital?”
“……I’m not confident, you f*cking girl…”
In this indecisive situation, Caressy huffed.
“So what’s it gonna be? Just sitting back and doing nothing?”
“That’s not it.”
Still, we had one reasonable way to bind them.
“Is there a method?”
“They’re using their abilities without permission.”
“Oh, right.”
The unauthorized use of abilities.
Basically, unauthorized use of abilities carries a heavier punishment than one might think.
Especially if the abilities aren’t registered with the government.
And these juvenile offenders have a very high probability of not being registered with the government.
No matter how free they are from the law, at the very least, we could be a nuisance for them.
“Shinwoo, let’s head to the police station.”
I thought this was the best method for now.
So, with a bit of hope, we headed toward the police station.
On the way, I suddenly heard a question from Elcia.
“Husband! But what happens to the hair or bodily fluids that fall off when someone is in an invisible state? Would they be visible or not?”
“Well, since it was part of their body, I think it should be invisible while maintaining that state?”
“My thoughts are the opposite. It seems impossible for abilities to be applied to objects that fall off from the body.”
“So you’re saying bodily fluids would suddenly drop from mid-air?”
“Indeed, Hyeji seems to know quite a bit about such things. Us succubi still have much to learn.”
“……Please, we don’t need to know about that… Don’t learn about it either…”
A heated debate broke out among the heroines.
“So if you make half of it invisible, maybe the seminal fluid could still be seen?”
“Oh.”
“That’s quite a piece of junk.”
“Today, we’re nothing but god cats.”
“Remember, there’s a kid here! You f*cking unique dog cat!!!”
In the midst of this, new realizations came to light.
[……I hear the average level of the heroines is decreasing.]
‘That’s always the bottom, anyway…’
[There’s a level below the bottom.]
‘Oh, right.’
Watching this, Lee Da-hye wore a serious expression as she pondered.
“I’ll bring this up for discussion at school!”
“Don’t…”
“It’s fine! Last time the topic was ‘Is cross-dressing by a man really cross-dressing?’”
“……Wait a minute, that’s a bit tricky…”
Anyway, thanks to spending time like that, we quickly arrived at the police station.
Just in time, a police officer recognized us and we decided to jump right into the matter.
“Nice to see you again, everyone. What brings you here?”
“This time we’re here because of some juvenile offenders causing trouble around here recently.”
“Ah…”
But the response we got back from the police was.
“I’m sorry. This case will be a bit difficult for us to help with.”
“Why?”
Our anticipation was crushed completely.
“Right now, the misdeeds of those kids are on a cute level compared to before.”
“……You can’t be saying this is the worst of the worst?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Suddenly, the police handed us a large stack of papers.
Like we were not the first people to visit for this reason.
And upon seeing it, I realized.
“If you summarize the crimes committed previously, it would look something like this.”
“……Oh, f*ck.”
I could understand why the police said things were much better than before.
[…….What you did was merely a form of cuteness.]
‘Hit and run while driving a stolen car without a license in drunkenness, and then vandalism…?’
[In one sentence, that’s already five crimes present.]
It was so ridiculous that even the heroines were in a state of speechlessness.
Well, that’s only natural.
Even juvenile offenders wouldn’t be expected to have such serious crime quality.
Suddenly, one thought crossed my mind.
I quickly turned my gaze to Lee Da-hye.
“Why didn’t you say those punks committed crimes before?”
“They taught us in school how to utilize juvenile offenders like this.”
“No, f*ck…”
[Seems like there’s an academy there too.]
‘No good people around here.’
At that moment, an additional question popped up.
“But why didn’t you or the others do the same?”
“Oh, that’s because?”
Fortunately, that was resolved quickly.
“Since it’s legal for juvenile offenders to commit crimes, there’s no immediate need to do so.”
“……Sigh…”
After asking, I felt like I shouldn’t have bothered.
“That’s childish. They’re not babies.”
“……I see…”
I never thought I’d get that kind of answer.
“What will we do, Shinwoo?”
“Hold on a second…”
Anyway, I started to think again.
We definitely had the grounds to do something about the juvenile offenders.
Of course, now they were just messing around compared to how they committed crimes in the past, but.
Someday, they might get bored and return to committing offenses again.
[Even if they were to use their hands and then switch to a toy, they might eventually revert back to their hands.]
‘……It’d be better if you just said tuning is best in stock, f*ck.’
In the end, it means they could return to the original point in search of greater stimulation.
“Husband, should we just take them in for now?”
“That might be a bit difficult. Their abilities are good for escaping.”
Besides, there’s no easy way to abduct them outright.
If the teleporting juvenile from earlier can move anyone they touch with them.
Then even if we desperately chase after them, there’s no guarantee we’ll catch them.
If they’re running away, they’ll definitely be several steps ahead of us.
“Definitely, if they decide to run, it’ll be really hard to catch them.”
“I’d feel like they could take everyone along in one go if I caught one.”
“It can’t be helped. The heroines are suited for battle.”
“And that’s exactly why we excel at battle sex.”
“You’ve been drifting since earlier, you crazy dog cat!!!”
That’s the problem; we currently have no plans.
“So you’re not thinking of giving up on my request, right?”
“That’s not it.”
At least not for now.
If juvenile offenders freely violate people outside the law.
We’d have only one way.
To strip the freedom of being juvenile offenders and pull them back under the law.
“Ayeon, you said you have a license, right?”
“That’s right.”
Only on their own volition.
“So I’d like to ask you for a favor. You’ll be playing the most crucial role.”
“Leave it to me.”
Thus, our plan began to take shape.
First, we’ll contact those we can get help from.
And gather their cooperation.
“Hyeji, go give them a heads up.”
“What if they ignore me?”
“Then I’ll set off the disaster alarm to get things moving.”
“Oh.”
And as we borrowed an appropriate location for a moment.
“Is it possible to rent a place like this?”
“Yes, it’s currently vacant.”
“Oh, that’s just a simple rental fee.”
“Thank you for your fee!”
“Wait, I said it’s a rental fee.”
“Hahaha. Right.”
Finally, until we secured all the necessary supplies.
“And do you happen to have this too?”
“Actually, we have that in our lost items center! You should be able to borrow it quickly!”
And finally, all preparations were complete.
“Shinwoo, if we proceed like this, those punks will be f*cked over, right?”
“Anyway, they’re criminals. Let’s uproot them in advance!”
“Agreed. Besides, if they live properly, there won’t be any problems.”
“They might even resort to self-harm… but that’s not my concern!”
It’s time to restore peace to the world.
[No matter how you look at it, that seems a bit harsh.]
‘What’s harsh about it? How many people in the world live like that?’
[……Although, if you put it that way, it’s true.]
By delivering a sort of legal judgment on these juvenile offenders.
