49 Damsel in Distress

The next day, the beginning of the weekends, Axel was painfully lying on his bed. Maybe due to the atmosphere, Axel, Akira and Ryuji all ate until they were about to burst.

He could still remember the look of absolute horror on Sojiro's face when the boys all order 2 more plated of curry.

Sojiro even advised them not to eat that much as it was unhealthy. However, they were truly hungry. The ate like starving wolves, devouring all the food infront of them with no break.

By the end of their feast, all the boys felt bloated and were about to pass out in a food coma. But the satisfaction they felt made it all worth it.

Slowly, Axel hobbled out of bed. With a long yawn, Axel paused as he saw that he recieved a message on his phone.

"Hey Axel! It's Ann. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?"

Seeing her message caused a smile to appear on his face. Honestly, him and Ann haven't hung out much lately. He's mostly been hanging with the boys, jamming video games while chowing down on curry.

"Sure. When do you wanna meet up?"

A couple seconds after he sent the message, he received Ann's reply.

"Great! Let's meet up at the big bang burger by the station at 3pm. See ya soon~"

Axel's smile grew when he saw her messages. Doing a couple light stretches, he quickly tidied himself up. He had about 2 hours until it was 3pm so he wanted to quickly get ready and head over.

After showering and cleaning himself up, Axel wore some stylish clothing before head out. He had about an hour left and it would take at least 30 minutes for the trains to reach the main station, considering it had to stop at every other station along the way.

As Axel slowly made his way through town, he frowned as he heard a muffled cry. The voice sounded familiar so he decided to track where it was coming from.

However, when he finally reached the source of the sound, Axel almost snapped. A bunch of men with big muscles surrounded a beautiful young lady.

The beauty was dressed in a tomboyish style with the only exception being the pair of short shorts that emphasised her rather plentiful booty.

If it was just a stranger, at most, Axel would just be mad before helping her out but the beauty being harassed by the thugs was the person who invited him out.

Axel fiercely stomped towards the thugs and roared, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!?!"

His furious roar startled all the thugs while hope appeared in Ann's eyes. Obviously, Ann must have experienced a rough time as her clothes were slightly dirty and her arms had dark hand prints all over them.

The biggest thug sarcastically smirk as he said, "Check it out, boys. A little brat who wants to play hero. Why don't we show him what happens to hero's."

Malicious laughter could be heard from the thugs as the slowly made their way over to Axel, cornering him.

Worry appeared on Ann's face but Axel seemingly didn't carry about being surrounded. He glared at the large man that seemed to be the leader and said, "Before I beat the shit out of you guys, I gotta know. Did you all act on impulse or did someone ask you to harass her?"

A wicked smile spread on the leaders face as he replied, "You don't need to know. 'A dead man tells no tales', after all. GET HIM!!!"

Suddenly, a fierce expression sneaked onto Axel's face as he sarcastically said, "Your right. A dead man tells no tales."

The instant Axel finished speaking, he swiftly dodged the incoming punch before delivering a barrage of attacks. The thugs could only last half a minute before being beaten so bad that even their parents would be unable to recognise them.

Walking infront of Ann, Axel gave her a bright grin as he said, "Did you wait long?"

After a couple seconds of not receiving a reply, Axel noticed something odd. Her gaze seemed to be fixed on Axel, making him feel odd as besides the initial surprise that she showed, he gaze now contained a strange heat the made Axel's body feel comfortable yet uncomfortable at the same time.

Before Axel could ask what's wrong, Ann smiled as she said, "Thanks for the help, Axel. Let's forget about those thugs and enjoy ourselves."

"Alright, just give me a minute."

Axel didn't want this to be used against him so he called the police to come pick up the thugs. It didn't take long before a patrol car came around but someone he didn't expect came out of the car.

"Axel?"

"Sae?"

The new arrival was Sae. It seems that the police are really short staffed. They asked all able hands with the proper qualifications to assist with minor crimes and criminals.

Before she gained her qualification as a prosecutor, Sae had trained in the police academy in hopes of being an officer. However, her ambition of being a cop changed when she graduated.

This was something she once told him when he was staying over. The only thing she didn't talk about was why she suddenly decided not to continue on with being an officer. And Axel respected her silence and never asked.

Seeing Axel know this beautiful female prosecutor, Ann frowned. She tugged on Axel's sleeve and asked, "Can we go now?"

Sae's lips twitched when Ann grabbed Axel's sleeve but paid no heed to the annoyance growing inside her as she told them that they need to record a statement before being allowed to leave.

The statement only took a couple minutes before being done. However, when Sae scanned the bodies of the thugs, she frowned as all their wounds seemed heavy-handed.

Their faces were beaten until they were purple, large bruises and bumps appeared on their arms and legs and some were even missing teeth.

She turned towards Axel and said, "You might be brought to the police station later if the wounds you inflicted are more than simple self-defence."

He knew Sae was currently on work-mode and had no desire to fight against her words. That didn't mean he didn't have a couple tricks up his sleeves.

While the police were question Ann, he silently sneaked over. When he was infront of the group of unconscious thugs, he silently accessed his inventory and pulled out a small glass bottle containing a transparent red liquid.

"Appraisal."

[Minor Healing Potion.

Effect: When consumed or applied onto the wounded area, will speed up natural healing.]

Axel didn't bother feeding them the Potion as he popped the lid off before splashing the entire content on the thugs.

Their wounds receded but they still appeared unrecognisable. This was what Axel wanted. While the thugs will still appear heavily injured, their bodies will show only light injuries. The best part was the fact that they will still feel as if they were heavily wounded due to phantom pains.

With a bright smile, Axel walked over to Ann so they can finally be on their way, not caring for the thugs at all.
