I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
PART 3
After that, I tried to tidy up all the weapons scattered outside, when I remembered that I had obtained the [Item Box] skill, and decided to use it. However, when I tried to use it, I realized that I didn't know how to activate it, so I tried to say [Item Box] in my mind, where a black space suddenly appeared in front of me.
I was quite surprised by that, but when I realized that I could make it appear or disappear with just a thought, I threw the ballpoint pen at home into the black space. After I tried to make the black space appear and disappear again, I timidly reached into the space, and soon the information about the ballpoint pen flowed into my mind.
After that, I ran my business smoothly, throwing weapons scattered one after another into the [Item Box] to tidy up. Of course, I made it clear that I could freely store and take things away from him. It would be shocking to show it off on Earth.
After I finished all of this testing, I was mentally exhausted, and I went through the mysterious door with stalled steps, returning to grandfather's hidden room. This is.not a dream…
When I instinctively saw it from a distance, my stomach suddenly rumbled. I checked my watch, and it was right at lunch time. Now that I think about it. The other side of the door had the same timeline as here. I'm grateful for that.
I opened the fridge in my house to satisfy my hunger, but it turned out to be empty. “Aw, man... I thought I had bought groceries, but it wasn't..”.
It was really a hindrance, but if I ignored it, I would faint from hunger, so I took my wallet and decided to go to a nearby store to buy food. Outside, I was exposed to intense sunlight, even though it was still early spring, and I was sweating straight away.
Yup. It's the result of fat…
I was getting tired, but I made it to the nearest store, where I found an unpleasant sight.
“Hey hey, it's okay, isn't it? Come have tea with us.”
“I told you no, I have rejected you many times! Please, let me go!”
“Don't say that, dear~”
A girl my age is stuck in a bunch of guys who really stand out. The department store I visited was in a residential area, and there were many people passing by. Thinking that they would try to seduce a girl in the open like this, and right in front of the convenience store, on top of that...
The girl disliked him, and tried to get away from the men, but they constantly surrounded her. When I looked around, there were people in the area, but everyone pretended not to see them. Finally, one of the men grabbed his arm.
"Hey, let's go."
"It's okay, nothing bad is going to happen."
“I don't want to! Let go of me, please!”
"E-excuse me!"
"…Huh?"
All the men looked to see me. Their collective gazes were sharp, and obviously they underestimated me. To be honest, I was scared, and wanted to ignore the situation, but if my grandfather was here, he would not hesitate to help. He was the type of person who would always help someone if they were in trouble.
I loved my grandfather, and was proud of him for not changing his beliefs, even if he was treated like a hypocrite or a freak. With that in mind, I spoke without thinking.
“What's up, fat? Do you have business with us or something? Huh uh?!"
I almost screamed, but I remained in control. “T-no.... uh. she.. I don't think she likes you.”.
They almost snarled offended. They ignored the girl and even surrounded me.
“You made fun of us, huh? You little bastard. ”
“No, that's not what I..”
"Stop nagging, asshole!"
I screamed when one of the men mercilessly punched me in the face. I rolled into a ball, in a lot of pain, but the men didn't give up, and kept kicking me as I fell.
"Don't mess with us. You jerk!"
"You disgusting pig!"
"Dead, you bastard!"
My face, my chest, my stomach. Every time a sharp kick hit my body, I felt like I was about to faint. Then, all of a sudden, the people who were beating me viciously suddenly stopped and ran away.
"Hey, the police are coming!"
"Someone reported us, let's get out!"
Apparently, someone reported them to the police, and the men quickly fled the scene. My whole body was in pain, but not until I couldn't help it. Nothing seems to be broken.
Gosh, I don't need to show my usual resistance in a place like this. But come to think of it, it feels a bit strange. Up until now, I would usually lose consciousness at a time like this, but now, I managed to stay awake, even if only a little. Could the [Endurance] skill be activated? I knew I could use [Assessment] at home before, but to think I could also use skills on Earth as well ...
The girl who was bullied earlier came running and helped me get up.
"Are you okay? I'll call an ambulance soon..!”.
"It's okay, it's okay .. it's okay, so .. I don't need an ambulance ..."
“T-but..”.
“No, really... it's okay.”
I was touched by the girl who was so worried about ugly people like me, that enduring the pain, I stood up.
"Him…"
"With all means, leaning on my shoulder, I will help you walk ..."
“T-no, it's okay.. it's okay.”
“T-but..”.
“It's okay now... rather than that, you were harassed, right? Please be careful from now on. ”
I don't really know what I'm saying, but I'm distancing myself from the girl who worries me. He had just been attacked by a man, so he shouldn't want to be on the man's side, right? I think it will be a natural action.
Well, maybe it doesn't matter if he doesn't even recognize me as a man, or as a man. The police came in haste while I was thinking about self-deprecating things. The police officer was two women and one man, so the girl might feel relieved by this.
“We just got a report..”
“Ah, I am surrounded by a group of men, and this person helps me when I am in trouble! Because it's…"
The girl explained to the police in detail that I was the only one injured, so it didn't seem like much of a problem. It was like a strange story that I was the only one who got hurt. After a series of brief questions, the police officer apparently decided to send the girl home. Then they looked at me.
“We will also send you home. Where do you live?"
“T-no, it's okay. I'll go home by myself, I'm here to buy groceries..”.
"I understand ... In that case, please be careful."
When the police officer started carrying the girl with them, she suddenly turned towards me and lowered her head.
“Thank you for your help this time!”
"Huh? Ah, no, don't worry about that. Anyway I can't do anything.”.
"That's not true! In fact, you make me so happy! Thank you very much. I'll definitely reward you for this. ”
“T-please don't mind that.. Y-then, I'll go...”
I don't usually talk to people, but I manage to say that much, and cut off the conversation to part with him.
…I can't look him in the eye at all. First of all, I rarely talk to women, and when I do, it's just a bunch of curses directed at me. Because I've been through that experience for so long, I have no defense against women, mentally.
But that girl, even though she might just be polite, was worried about me. I think she's a good girl, ah, a girl like that deserves to be happy. Thinking like that, before I bought any other items I wanted, I stretched my legs a little more and went to the supermarket to buy groceries, she said, then stop at the convenience store again on the way home, before finally going home.
