San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 777 Xiong Ji, A Clean and Swift First Arrest!
Feng Bujue looked in the direction the teacher indicated. The "seats over there" were the two in front of Kumakichi and Usami...
"Okay, sensei," Jue Ge replied in a calm tone.
"Uh... yes! Sensei," Xiao Tan followed suit.
Then, with their backpacks, they walked one after the other to the second to last row of the classroom, sitting in front of Kumakichi and Usami respectively.
"Well...class, let's begin the lesson." After the two transfer students were seated, Panda-sensei said, "Turn your textbooks to page one." As she spoke, she turned and picked up a piece of chalk, starting to write mathematical formulas on the blackboard.
"I say... Jue Ge, what's the deal with this script?" Seeing the teacher turn around, Xiao Tan leaned slightly and whispered to Jue Ge beside him, "The Nichijou world setting is one thing... but what's with this inexplicable main quest?"
"I'm wondering about that too..." Feng Bujue whispered back, "If 'the completion of an incident' means the end of the story, then this script is almost impossible to clear..." He glanced at Kumakichi sitting in the row behind him, and lowered his voice even more, "You know... the cases that guy Kumakichi commits are usually solved within thirty seconds from the moment Usami intervenes..."
[Main Quest Triggered] As if responding to Jue Ge, the system refreshed with a new main quest.
Hearing this, Jue Ge and Xiao Tan exchanged glances, and simultaneously opened the game menu, looking at the quest bar: [Limit Kumakichi's number of arrests to ten or fewer (including the tenth arrest).]
The meaning of this second main quest was clearer, and next to the quest was marked - [Current Number of Arrests: 0].
"It's even counting..." Xiao Tan couldn't help but complain after seeing the quest content, "Since we have ten chances, it shouldn't be too hard... how many crimes can he commit in thirty-three chapters?"
"This is originally a normal difficulty script, how difficult do you want it to be?" Jue Ge replied, "And... aren't you underestimating Kumakichi-kun's ability to commit crimes a bit?"
"Well..." Xiao Tan also glanced at Kumakichi and replied softly, "Right... Jue Ge, I was thinking... could we..."
"Kill Kumakichi?" Feng Bujue interjected, "That way he won't be arrested even once, right?"
"Uh..." Xiao Tan was visibly stunned for a moment, "Actually, I wanted to say... could we injure him or imprison him, but your plan... seems possible too, it's just a bit cruel..."
"It's the same either way," Feng Bujue replied, "Anyway, it's not feasible..." He shook his head, "If we don't let Kumakichi roam free, there won't be any 'incidents,' so how can we stretch it out to thirty-three chapters?"
"Well... that makes sense," Xiao Tan scratched the feathers at his temples, "How troublesome..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized something, and his expression changed immediately, "Eh? My hand..."
"That's right, it's become something like a wing, but it's still divided into five parts, and it has a certain hardness and can bend." Feng Bujue took over Xiao Tan's words, "By the way... your head has also turned into a hawk's head, you can touch your nose and mouth to see, they've turned into a beak."
"Uh... no wonder I felt something was strange..." As Xiao Tan spoke, he actually touched his face with his anthropomorphic "wing-hand," "Speaking of which... my eyesight seems to have improved."
"That's normal, hawks are one of the animals with the best eyesight," Feng Bujue replied, "Theoretically, at this distance, you can see the fleas in my fur."
"I don't want to see that kind of thing..." Xiao Tan replied.
"Neko Saburo, Hayabusa Taro." Just as Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi were chatting happily, Panda-sensei had finished writing on the blackboard and turned around, "You should listen carefully in class, don't talk."
"Yes—" The next second, Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi lengthened their tones and replied in unison.
Their reaction was very neat and tacit, as if they had rehearsed it countless times.
A few seconds later, they both showed an interesting smile. Because they both realized... this scene was a re-enactment of their elementary school days...
…………
With the sound of the end-of-class bell, the first lesson ended.
At this moment, Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi's spirits suddenly tensed up.
For them, it was easier to relax during class, even if the teacher suddenly called them to answer a question... fourth-grade math was not difficult for them.
However, after class was different, because... after class, Kumakichi was likely to take action...
"Meow—"
Sure enough, just one minute after the teacher left the classroom, Nyami's (Kumakichi's crush, the victim in most incidents) scream rang out.
Basically... Nyami's scream meant that an incident had occurred, and even the other characters in this world knew that this was a standard development.
Hearing the sound, Usami suddenly turned her head, "Mumu? Has an incident occurred?"
"Oh!" Kumakichi immediately popped out, "That way I can see Usami-chan's long-awaited famous deduction!"
As he spoke, Usami and Kumakichi walked towards Nyami's desk.
"The heck are you getting so excited about..." Feng Bujue remained calm on the surface, but thought to himself, "You did it, didn't you! You must have done it!"
"Jue Ge..." At this time, Wang Tanzhi called Feng Bujue softly, "Let's go over and take a look too..."
"Ah... let's go," Feng Bujue nodded to him.
Soon, seven or eight students in the class gathered around Nyami's seat.
"What's wrong? Nyami," Usami stepped forward and asked, "Did someone put cat tongues in your desk?"
"Your random assumptions are so scary, Usami-chan," Kumakichi interjected.
"The world is going downhill, people's hearts are not what they used to be," Usami replied, "There's nothing strange about it, Kumakichi-kun."
"I think something was stolen, probably..." Kumakichi did not pick up on Usami's words, but stated a "hypothesis."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Usami turned to Nyami and asked.
"Waaah~" Nyami sobbed and replied, "My school swimsuit has been stolen~ waaaah~"
"This... this is so brazen! We must not let this criminal get away with it! Usami-chan!" Kumakichi shouted immediately.
At this time, a penguin in the crowd of people (animals) suddenly spoke; "Today is the first day of school, everyone will bring their school swimsuit from home to school. That means... the time of the incident was after Nyami arrived at school, and before the first class started..." This student, who started reasoning as soon as he opened his mouth, was naturally Penguin Detective Tasuke, who transferred from Antarctica Elementary School.
"That's right, I think so too," Usami continued, "Everyone was chatting in the classroom this morning, most people weren't sitting in their seats, the culprit could easily succeed while no one was paying attention."
"Well... these two guys' deductions are pretty reliable..." Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes, looking at the two famous detectives from the Nichijou world, and thought, "But..." His gaze moved to Kumakichi, "Is it really necessary to deduce this kind of incident... Kumakichi is wearing a women's school swimsuit right now, hey!"
Obviously, Jue Ge wasn't the only one who noticed this... About three seconds later, Usami and Penguin Detective turned their faces to Kumakichi at the same time, and their expressions... also changed.
"Uwoo! Usami-chan's eyes have become sharp!" Kumakichi looked at Usami's huge eyes and exclaimed, "This is a sign that Usami-chan's inspiration is bursting! Because of this characteristic, Usami also got the nickname 'Usami's eyes are terrible'... no criminal has ever escaped that sharp gaze."
"Ah~" Then, Kumakichi looked at Penguin Detective Tasuke, who was grinning, and exclaimed, "Penguin Detective Tasuke's gums are showing without reservation... how disgusting! As expected of the famous detective with the name 'gums are disgusting', when he shows his gums, it's the moment of inspiration!"
Under the scorching gaze of Usami and Penguin Detective, Kumakichi was making these meaningless explanations with a serious face. He seemed to have forgotten that he was the culprit, as if he didn't know that he was wearing the stolen school swimsuit...
"God..." Seeing this scene, Feng Bujue could only support his forehead with a cat's paw and sighed with a painful expression.
…………
Five minutes later, the police who received the report had arrived at the school.
The police in this universe wore blue uniforms, black ties, and the police emblem on their caps was a yellow five-pointed star.
The police officer who took Kumakichi away was a white Labrador, he didn't put handcuffs on Kumakichi, but tied Kumakichi's hands with a rope and "led" him all the way to the police car.
Accompanied by the "wooo..." siren, Kumakichi silently got into the car. And the students of Class 4-1 all stood at the school gate with a spectator attitude, watching this pervert leave...
[Main Quest Progress Changed]
The system prompt sounded before the police car had left their sight.
Jue Ge and Xiao Tan opened the quest bar and saw that Kumakichi's "Current Number of Arrests" had jumped to "1".
"See, that counts as one..." Feng Bujue read.
"Well... this is only the second chapter..." Xiao Tan replied.
"So..." Feng Bujue said in a summarizing tone, "The difficulty of this script is not as simple as you think."
