Chapter 190: [Like A Picture]

Chapter 190: [Like A Picture]

The store clerk was furious at the robber's reasoning.

Of course, they were.

He was clearly the victim.

<<Don't mess with me! I've been through a lot too. But I never resorted to violence like you! It's not because of nationality; it's the result of your actions!>>

<<Shut up! You're just lucky! Why is someone like you, without any skills, able to work, while someone skilled and excellent like me can't find a job? It's ridiculous!>>

The robber's arguments seemed logical but were absurd at the same time.

Because the root of the problem is not logical, that's only natural.

First, there's anger and resentment, and then there are reasons added later.

That's why it inevitably turns into a heated argument.

<<Clerk, the criminal has had enough.>>

I intervened in their argument.

Then, I faced the robber head-on.

<<I understand your circumstances. Indeed, in your words, it seems you had ‘bad luck'.>>

Whether people commit crimes or whether they turn to evil is a tale akin to the debate between the inherent goodness and badness of human nature, and the truth is elusive.

That's precisely why it has to be stopped now.

He had already committed an irreparable robbery... on the other hand, he hadn't committed a fatal murder yet.

<<I will stop you.>>

The robber looked displeased, snorting as if mocking me.

<<Kid, what's your nationality? Chinese?>>

<<Japanese.>>

<<Well, isn't Japan great? Born winners! You don't have to suffer from the country's foolishness or face prejudice based on your nationality! Exchange places with me!>>

<<That's...>>

<<Don't make fun of me. I know there are things I can't do.>>

The robber said dismissively.

But it seemed more like a leak of his desires.

<<Your country has no conflicts, and it's peaceful, right? No need to work abroad for a living, no poverty, right? No discrimination or bullying like in this country, right? Change places with me, not in America but there...>>

<<There's no such paradise anywhere.>>

I slowly shook my head at the robber's words.

<<What?>>

In an instant, some meter within me went off the charts.

...Change of plans.

Swaying my body slightly, I walked towards the robber.

Now, he had crossed the "line".

<<What did you just say?>>

<<I just said the truth, didn't I?>>

<<No way!>>

A sound resonated, "Gochin!".

The muzzle that the robber had aimed in my direction as if on guard, received a headbutt from me.

<<Hey, what are you doing, miss!?>>

<<Ah, what the heck are you thinking?>>

Not only the female customer, the clerk, but even the robber was flustered.

Certainly, with this impact, the trigger might have been accidentally pulled, and it could have misfired.

But I was so heated up that I couldn't make such a calm judgment.

"Like a picture"!?

This guy doesn't understand anything about VTubers!

<<Phew, phew!>>

<<Hey, miss, calm down!>>

It didn't matter to me how I, as an individual, was being perceived.

However, it was out of line for the entire VTuber community to be insulted by my actions!

And above all!

I shouted while my fist trembled.

<<Totally... envious!!!!>>

<<<<<<... Huh?>>>>>>

He still doesn't know the goodness of VTubers!

The fact that he can discover that goodness from now on!

What a... fortunate thing it is!
