Chapter 28

I drew this on a piece of scrap paper, so don't come at me if you see any imperfections. I'll probably make a coloured and cleaner version of this in the future. Thanks for reading and hope you like the design!

My heart thumped with anxiety as I jumped across multiple rooftops of Ikebukuro. I, of course just jumped across them normally, I couldn't afford to die from rooftop parkour and get my identity revealed on the first day of being 'Robin Hood'. The name 'Robin Hood' was really just dubbed by Yasuda Nanako, then the whole internet seemed to agree on the name.

Actually, I don't think anyone knows that 'Robin Hood' was back as a vigilante yet. I mean I haven't even started on saving people, I was just skipping along the rooftops finding people to save whilst wearing a big dark green hooded cloak in the nighttime, so I doubt anyone could see me clearly.

On the topic of my vigilante suit, I had to thank Meg, the lady who made my bow, for it, she came over to one of my training sessions once and designed this whole costume for me, she even incorporated some of my ideas to it. The suit consisted of a big green hooded cloak, a pair of loose dark green almost to black pants that was held up by a brown utility belt, a bluish green loose pullover, a dark brown satchel and a pair of dark brown boots. On my face was a gas mask infused with a voice changer and a pair of goggles that will help me with hiding my identity as it was opaque on the outside. (It is the drawing up above. You don't need to use this design if you don't like it, you can change it, but just a reminder that I'll use my version of the costume in the story.) Slung across my body was my brown wooden bow and my brown quiver filled with arro———

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! Hel—— mmmmph——!" 

Ah, that was an ear piercing scream, the kind I hate the most. Anyways, that meant I have found my first person to help out. I ran across the rooftops then arrived at an alley.

A teenage girl was struggling against the wall with a bunch of people harassing her. Well, it was more like the leader of the group started playing around with her, then the group members joined in one by one.

"Shut up~" drawled the group leader, he pinned her against the wall, covered her mouth with his hand and leaned in very close.

"Actually I like feisty girls, so keep on struggling, hehe." The guy tripped at his own feet.

The girl looked very uncomfortable with how close he was, she could probably feel his breath at that distance. I honestly felt bad for her, having to endure the stinky drunk smell of that dude.

The group members cheered on the leader for harassing the girl? I actually couldn't determine what they were saying due to how muffled and mushed up their words were, but oh well, it's probably something similar to cheering their group leader on.

Looking through the whole group, they didn't look like villains at all. Judging from their unstable stances and flushed faces, I decided that they were drunk. So I guess no violence for my first official job as Robin Hood huh, cool.

I stealthily jumped down from the building I was on, then silently knocked the group members out. It didn't take much time to knock them out since half of them were already passed out on the ground from being too drunk.

"Imph" struggled the girl as her eyes widened at the sight of me. Now that I got a closer sight of her, I realised she was Kaneko Arisu, what was she even doing here at this hour?! It was literally 1 something in the morning.

I immediately did the shushing pose while sidestepping to hide behind a dumpster.

"What are you imphing abo— ou— out?" said the guy as he looked in the direction Kaneko was looking at. The dude looked back at her after a few seconds, probably too drunk to even realise my silhouette behind the dumpster.
