Facing Usami's sharp gaze, Xiong Ji stammered, "Could it be… no… this is…"

"Where did you steal it from? You perverted bear." Usami said with a disgusted look while checking her phone and glancing at Xiong Ji.

"No… don't call the police! This is my own thing," Xiong Ji replied. "Is there a law against wearing your own bra outside?" He frowned, adopting a serious expression. "Besides… although I'm an ero-fiend, I'm not a pervert! It's absurd to equate an ero-fiend with a pervert! Even if I am a pervert, I'm just an ero-fiend with the label of pervert!"

Cold sweat trickled down Usami's face. Her lips twitched as she replied, "So… that's the worst kind of scum…" She pursed her lips. "But… since you're wearing a bra you bought yourself, that means there's no victim, which means… it's not an incident."

"That's right, that's right!" Xiong Ji replied.

Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi chimed in, "That's right, that's right, it's okay if you bought it yourself!"

"How could it be okay…" Usami continued, "Indeed, it doesn't qualify as an 'incident,' but… as a man, walking around in public wearing a bra is undoubtedly offensive to public morals. I'm still going to report it…"

"Usami-chan, although what you said makes sense…" Xiong Ji interrupted in a deep voice, "But… if merely wearing a bra you bought yourself can lead to a police report, don't you think the world has lost its so-called personal freedom?"

"Public safety ordinances exist to restrict the freedom of perverts like you," Usami said, holding her phone with a smile. "Besides… I just like filing reports, is that so wrong?"

"Please, stop!" Xiong Ji pleaded. "Calling the police for such a trivial matter every time is like… saying you can't show your underwear anywhere other than in the bathroom or at home!"

"Isn't that obvious…" Hearing this godlike conversation, Xiao Tan was shocked. He thought to himself, "What kind of world exists in this pervert's brain?!"

"Alright! Xiong Ji!" At this moment, Feng Bujue took action. "Shut your trap!" He blurted out a curse and yanked off the bra from Xiong Ji.

"Ha~" Xiong Ji was stunned by the sudden action, but he only cried out and didn't resist.

"Okay." Jue-ge held up the pink bra, turned to Usami and Miumi, and said, "He's already taken off the bra." He pointed at Xiong Ji. "It's summer now. It's normal for a guy to go shirtless with a backpack, right?"

"Hmm… since Maosaburo said so…" Usami pondered for a moment and put down her phone. Then, she looked at Xiong Ji and said, "How about this… I'll hold off on calling the police for now. I'll observe your behavior and attitude during the outing today. If you're well-behaved and proper, I won't send you to the mental hospital."

"Eh? Mental hospital?" Xiong Ji asked strangely. "Not the police station?"

…

Thirty minutes later…

The five of them headed north, unknowingly walking several kilometers.

"Jue-ge…" Xiao Tan, with his excellent eyesight, seemed to have noticed something. He subtly turned to the side and whispered to Feng Bujue, "Eleven o'clock, about 1.2 kilometers away, there's a group of people gathered…"

"Roger that," Feng Bujue replied, then added, "That's probably the 'crime scene.' Don't make a fuss yet. Let's get closer and see what's going on." As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Xiong Ji ahead, looking like… he was more worried about Xiong Ji getting caught in the act than the side quest.

The group walked for a while, and soon arrived near "that group of people."

"Ah! It's Officer Inunosuke." Miumi, who was dozens of meters away, exclaimed as she looked over there.

Because Inunosuke was wearing a police uniform and his fur was white, even animals with poor eyesight could recognize him from afar.

"Oh! Did something happen here?" Xiong Ji said excitedly.

"Let's go take a look," Usami said.

So, before Jue-ge and Xiao Tan could say a word, the group had already headed over there…

At that moment, four "people" and a horse were standing on the grass.

The horse was a white horse with a saddle.

The "people" were the following four…

First, the familiar Officer Inunosuke; second, a bald monk wearing an orange-yellow kasaya; third, a monkey spirit with a red scarf around its neck and a golden headband; and fourth, a kappa spirit with green skin and wearing blue ancient attire.

As they approached, Feng Bujue could see the appearances of those guys clearly.

In that instant, his balls hurt even more…

"It's you guys…" Two seconds later, Jue-ge lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, "Speaking of which… you and Xiong Ji are from the same universe… the Daily Lives of High School Boys universe is connected after all…"

Before Feng Bujue could catch up with the terrible development before him, Usami had already started chatting with the other party. "Officer Inunosuke, what happened here?"

"Oh, it's Usami-chan," Inunosuke turned to look at the five children. "An incident has occurred here."

"See! Usami-chan, it's indeed an incident!" Xiong Ji chimed in.

"What kind of incident? Officer Inunosuke." At this time, Feng Bujue also stepped forward, adopting a solemn expression, and asked, "If it's convenient, please tell us about it. Maybe we can help."

"Oh~ oh!" Xiong Ji egged on from the side, "We get to see a long-awaited detective showdown again!"

"If you're not the culprit… it should be somewhat of a showdown, right…" Xiao Tan muttered under his breath.

"Hmm…" On the other side, Inunosuke considered for a few seconds, looking at Usami and Jue-ge. "This morning, the station received an anonymous tip reporting a murder case. The informant claimed to have witnessed a murder near a stream about ten kilometers from here." He paused for a moment. "According to the informant's description, he saw a human, a monkey, and a kappa attacking a pig together, and then they led a white horse westward." As he said this, he glanced at the three behind him. "So, I followed them on foot and happened to meet these three guys…"
