Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

"You...you have to tell the teacher the truth." Her voice trembled, and although her eyes were bright, her words were full of anxiety after being frightened.

"You really didn't do anything illegal, right?"

"For example, if you did that, it would be the teacher's dereliction of duty, the teacher's failure to supervise you properly... The teacher will call the police! Please also turn yourself in! The teacher will take responsibility!"

Despite being just an ordinary person, and despite being physically weak, she still bravely spoke her mind.

Xing Yiren, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment. He had just told these things with the intention of watching for fun, and there was also the idea of ​​making Dou Tang face reality and get rid of his unrealistic student life.

But it seems... this guy, despite frequently skipping classes, has a surprisingly responsible teacher!

That's...so enviable!

He burst into laughter, slapping the table, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Shut up! What's so funny about this!" Ms. Kyoko's face turned red.

"If you corrupt my students... even if you're a yakuza, I won't let you get away with it!"

Chapter 170 The Identities They Struggled to Maintain

Xing Yiren was about to speak when Dou Tang raised his hand to stop him.

“Teacher.” Dou Tang stared intently into Teacher Xingzi’s eyes and smiled, “Having you as my teacher is truly a blessing for me.”

"Please rest assured, I haven't done anything... uh, anything harmful to society."

Well... although I beat up evil spirits, slaughtered half-demons, flattened various urban legends, and even tore apart guys like the Onmyoji Ling Ming.

There are also bald, delinquent leaders who help each other out, and wipe out dangerous biker gangs, etc...

But everything I did was beneficial!

On this point, Dou Tang has a clear conscience!

Dou Tang continued, "Actually, this money doesn't belong to me alone, Ms. Xingzi. This time, it was my friend who helped me find a job cooperating with other young people and the authorities to investigate cases, just like a private detective!"

He looked troubled and sad: "As you know, Huaiyin and I depend on each other for survival. The inheritance left by our parents cannot support our lives. Therefore, even though I knew that it was dangerous to go to Urayasu City to assist the police in their investigation, I still went."

"Thanks to the efforts of myself and several other friends, the riots in Urayasu were successfully resolved. The money included their compensation as well as additional rewards from the authorities."

Dou Tang shrugged: "There are rewards for reporting wanted criminals and providing clues about fugitives. Besides, we're working in such a dangerous place, so it's normal to get extra rewards!"

This sounds absolutely ridiculous.jpg

But for Ms. Kyoko, this explanation was at least better than actually admitting that she had committed a crime.

Seeing that Dou Tang had said that, Xing Yiren understood what he meant. He sighed, raised his hand and said, "Hehe, I'm really sorry, Teacher Xingzi. I just said that on purpose, just to make a joke. I didn't expect to really scare you."

He rubbed the scar on his face and continued, "I know that my appearance and face don't look like those of a good person, but I can guarantee with my integrity that Kiryu-kun really did Urayasu City Police Department a big favor this time, and it is perfectly reasonable for him and his friends to receive these rewards."

Ms. Kyoko was clearly somewhat skeptical, but she still put down her phone.

She then suddenly realized how foolish she had just acted.

If Kiryu-kun is really a bad person, then what I just did was practically handing myself over to him. Threatening someone in their own home by calling the police would have had a terrible fate for me, wouldn't it?

However, thinking about it this way, doesn't Kiryu's reaction just prove that he is innocent?

No... the best course of action right now is to keep Kiryu-kun calm for the time being, and then investigate further. Hmm, that's settled then.

If he is innocent

That would be best, but if he really did something irreversible... that would be a serious dereliction of duty on the part of a teacher, and we must find a way to get him back on the right path!

Her gaze gradually hardened, even becoming intense, which puzzled Dou Tang.

After a period of self-absorbed speculation, in Teacher Xingzi's mind, Dou Tang had already become a delinquent teenager who had no choice but to fall into depravity and self-abandonment due to family pressure.

After making up her mind, Ms. Kyoko nodded and said, "Okay, Kiryu-kun, I believe in you!"

"But don't worry, your teacher will definitely help you and won't give up on you!" she said firmly, clenching her fist.

I don't know what you imagined, but it seems like you managed to get away with it.

Dou Tang suddenly realized that there was a reason why his class was full of talented people.

As expected, even a teacher like Chinatsu Kume, who's both passionate and a bit of a ditz, has her flaws...

He scratched his face, chuckled, and brushed it off.

But with this little incident, it was clear that the conversation couldn't continue, and after a while, Ms. Kyoko left.

As soon as Ms. Xingzi stepped out, Dou Tang's face instantly turned cold.

He saw his teacher off, closed the door, returned to the living room, and looked at Xing Yiren, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa. His expression was somewhat unpleasant. He asked, "Why did you say that?"

He was referring, of course, to what Hoshino had said before.

He could have chosen other ways to explain the situation, and he could have avoided saying things that were so misleading, but Xingyi didn't.

Hoshigi also stopped smiling and raised his hand, saying, "I'd like to ask you, Kiryu-kun, how long do you plan to... pretend to be an ordinary high school student?"

"You now have a large group of delinquent youths and your savings far exceed those of ordinary people. Your future is not a problem at all. Even if you don't join the Morning Star Group, just running your current shop will be enough to meet your living needs."

“But you didn’t.” He slowly lowered his raised hand, his eyes sincere yet filled with doubt: “You still retain your high school student status, even if you don’t attend school for a month out of the semester.”

"Why?" He frowned. "Is... our world so unappealing to you?"

Dou Tang suddenly realized that this was Xing Yi Ren harboring some... resentment towards him.

The two had always been in a cooperative relationship, but after working together for so long, Xingyiren had become a friend to him, a friend who helped each other.

Hoshino Yoshito readily accepts his status as a yakuza and treats it as his career, adhering to his principles while striving to develop his business as much as possible.

However, Dou Tang's attitude often made him feel uncomfortable.

Even though Dou Tang has been involved in the extreme world for too long and has strayed far from the realm of normal people, he still wants to retain his identity as a high school student, or rather... to retain his identity as an ordinary person.

Is the yakuza so despicable in your eyes that you need to find a way to retreat at any time?

Do you think those delinquent teenagers who follow you don't even deserve your honesty? And you still want to pretend to be a model student in front of your teacher?

Logically speaking, Xingyiren had no right to question Doutang about these issues; they were just friends.

But nobody wants to be that friend that others wouldn't dare introduce to others after they leave.

Are you friends with someone like that?

"How, how is it possible?"

Xingyi had heard those words before, and therefore had the same doubts about Doutang.

After listening to Xing Yiren's words, Dou Tang remained silent for a moment before sitting down on the sofa.

He slowly began to speak: "That's not the case."

"However, I do not yet have the right to choose; it is far from the time now."

“It’s not that I don’t want to live as a yakuza, but… neither being a yakuza nor a high school student is my focus, Hoshigi.”

He raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a faint blue light.

“You know how troublesome what I’m facing is, it’s not just far beyond the realm of high school students, it’s also far beyond the realm of yakuza.”

“I not only try to maintain my identity as an ordinary person, but also my identity as a delinquent.”

Xingyi has misunderstood.

For Dou Tang, the title of leader of delinquent youths is just a disguise, just like that of an ordinary high school student, rather than a path that needs to be chosen.

Xingyiren looked somewhat disappointed and nodded.

Chapter 171 Before the Meeting

Seeing Xingyi's disappointment, Doutang was at a loss.

Dou Tang doesn't have time to think about how he wants to live his future.

"So besides sending me money, is there anything else?" Dou Tang asked as he sat down on the sofa.

Xingyi sighed and said, "Yes, about the headless dog."

"A headless dog?" Dou Tang frowned. "I was already preparing to attack their rally tomorrow, what happened now?"

"The gathering site? You even know about that?" Xingyi was clearly surprised by Doutang's efficiency, but then nodded and said, "That's right, you have your own intelligence network now, so it's normal for you to know these things."

“But there’s something else I have to say, and that really surprised me.” He pulled a small brown photo bag from his pocket and tossed it onto the table.

“These are photos taken by my private investigator. I think you should take a look.”

Dou Tang was confused

He picked up the photo bag on the table, took it out and looked at it, his expression gradually becoming serious.

The photographer appears to have taken the photos secretly in a public place, capturing images of a man wearing a mask from various unconventional angles. That man…

Although I can't see the nose and mouth, the body shape and eyebrows are exactly the same as mine.

Like... another version of yourself.

“Another you… another Kiryu Toudou, the leader of the headless dogs,” Hoshigito said.

Dou Tang placed the photo on the table and asked, "Where is he now?"

“Outside of Tokyo,” Hoshino replied. “He only enters Tokyo when he needs to contact the Headless Dog; otherwise, he hides in Saitama Prefecture.”

"Will he come to the rally tomorrow?" Dou Tang continued to ask.

"According to the detective's intelligence, that guy was cleaning his motorcycle today, so it seems he's getting ready to go out. Now that you've found out they're having a gathering tomorrow, we should be fine."

Huaiyin, who was standing to the side, picked up the photo curiously, looked at it for a moment, and then frowned and said, "Clearly... he doesn't look much like my brother."

“Where is it different?” Dou Tang turned around. Even he himself thought they looked exactly the same, but Huai Yin noticed the difference.

"Hmm, this guy's cheekbones are higher, and his eyes aren't as deep as his brother's. He looks a bit dazed and confused, and his temperament is clearly much worse." Huaiyin nodded her little head, making a confident statement.

"It seems your sister really knows you well." Xingyiren smiled, then added, "Do you need any help tomorrow? I can help you seal off the area or something."

"Won't it expose us?" Dou Tang shook his head and rejected the suggestion: "There are so many extreme sects lurking nearby, it's not a simple matter. You don't need to get involved in this."

"I can handle it myself."

“Alright, I’m relieved. It would be even better if we could severely injure the headless dog.” Xingyi sighed, pressing his knee and saying with a headache, “Why are these biker gangs so hard to stop… they’re such a nuisance.”

Dou Tang chuckled upon hearing this: "You, as a member of the Extreme Path, actually find biker gangs troublesome? We're all equally bad, aren't we?"

Hoshino shook his head: "No way! The Yakuza have their own rules, but biker gangs... tch, you don't seem to understand."

He stood up, shook his coat, and said goodbye, "I'll head back now. I'll look forward to your good news tomorrow. I'll help with the aftermath."

"Oh, right." He walked to the door, then suddenly turned back, touching the scar on his face, as if he had thought of something.

"Remember, go easy on me."

"They are still human beings."

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang suddenly paused.

Then take a deep breath.

"Oh, got it."

………………

The following evening.

Dou Tang changed into a black windbreaker, the high collar covering his chin, and put on a mask, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

He stood in the entryway, changed into his sneakers, and said, "Huaiyin, I'm going out."

Huaiyin stood behind him, cheering him on. She clenched her fist and shook it, saying, "Go for it, brother! Defeat that guy who's impersonating you and teach him a lesson!"

Dou Tang nodded in agreement and went out the door.

He walked downstairs and saw Iwabuchi Mei sitting on a motorcycle waiting for him.

At this moment, Yan Yuanmei was already dressed in a black leather jacket, looking dashing and heroic. He glanced at Dou Tang coming downstairs and asked, "Ready?"

Dou Tang approached the motorcycle and said, "You take me into the gathering, and then leave the rest to me."

"Are you sure you don't need to bring anyone?" Yan Yuanmei looked him over, and after not finding any weapons, her expression became even more worried: "There are over a hundred people. Can you handle them all by yourself?"

"It's alright." Dou Tang picked up the helmet hanging next to the back seat, put it on, and sat down in the back seat, saying, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Iwabuchi Mei was skeptical, but he still started the engine and headed to the gathering place of the headless dogs.

As a formal gathering to welcome Iwabuchi Mei into Durarara!!, almost all Durarara!! members would be present. Therefore, the gathering was held in a large multi-story public parking lot, which was a quiet place where passersby wouldn't suddenly wander in.
