Instant Dungeon.

Since that incident, Mikan has become friendlier and more affectionate with Rito than she was before, and there are indications that she may be opening up to him more than before.

She could now tell him about the public proposal she received and how she gets annoyed by other boys who never seem to understand how their proposals can be annoying at times.

Rito occasionally gives her a little extra attention by combing her hair and assisting her with dinner preparation. A week went by quickly after that, and the Rito light novel eventually showed up on the shelves of the various stores.

Rito also felt very excited about it, as he silently waited for the result of the first day and continued to see his novel blog on the computer, hoping to get some readers of his novel to join in at some point.

Along those lines, the day went by, and Rito noticed a few new blog followers and felt incredibly happy at the time.

Mikan made a special dinner for the party because one of her friends had purchased the book and appeared to have a positive opinion of it.

The fact that her friend was an otaku herself and had a passion for reading Lightnovel as well as an excellent sense of judgment for the novel itself was another factor.

"So, she has a shop related to Lightnovel and tends to be quite famous in that area. Huh! So, you just once talked with her on the topic, and she had a nice impression." Rito talked with Mikan as she talked about a girl named Takasago Tomoe.

'Hmm! This name seemed very familiar from my previous life memories.' Rito thought within his mind as his mind spun and a character from Ero-manga sensei appeared inside his mind.

'That's also possible.' Thinking about it, Rito entertained the thought and felt that he might one day meet her at some point. At that time, he might be able to find a friend with whom he can talk about light novels and manga from this world.

Rito was reincarnated, but he was still the same person, and his love of reading manga and Light Novels and habit of doing so remained.

Despite the fact that he had been involved in other activities and had not touched that aspect of excitement because of the system, Rito was not going to give up his otaku habit.

"Hmm! I want to read some good light novels too." Rito muttered. Mikan appeared a little taken aback because Rito had not made a wish in such a long time, and she could tell that it was the first time.

Rito has always believed that he has a younger sister who needs to be taken care of, so he tends to save his money for Christmas gifts, birthday presents, and ordering delectable foods in bulk. Rito has been saving money without spending it on himself.

Rito had never been particularly interested in otaku culture before this, so he had never displayed it in public and had kept it a secret. He also occasionally had to borrow items from his friends.

There were also times when he would go to his father's workshop and pick one out of the collection that his father had purchased for research. So, all the things with him were gifts from their mother on his birthday.

Rito received three new options in his system at the same time, one of which belonged to a category called "dungeon," though it was currently grayed out. He could only wait to see when they would appear because the Guild function was also present in the system but was still grayed out like the Dungeon tab.

There were a number of additional options inside the Guild, but they were currently inactive. Finally, there was a new addition to the status board update, and a new Level option appeared that had not been there a few days earlier.

Rito was therefore eager to find out whether leveling up could also grant him unallocated stat points or not, just as any mmorpg game would typically grant.

Rito also inquired as to whether fighting monsters in a dungeon would be required for him to gain experience in order to level up if it were to grant him unassigned status points.

Rito spent the entire night thinking about how he might be able to get past this system using drop items and a variety of other cheats, but tomorrow was a weekend day and Rito had nothing planned, so he was considering taking a short nap.

"Rito!" Rito rubbed his eyes and woke up when he heard Mikan's voice. He then turned to face her as she was tidying up the mess he had made while working on the second volume of Re:Zero the previous night.

"Sorry! It is a mess around here; I will clear it after the jog." Rito pulled Mikan beside him and spoke, as he felt a bit embarrassed to let Mikan clear all the mess, which should have been cleared by him.

"Just go out already! And this much is nothing, so do not worry about it, stupid Rito!" Rito was chased out of his room by Mikan, who smiled as she shut the door.

Mikan loved taking care of Rito in this way, and there was no way she would let her brother do all the work; therefore, she always wanted to help him occasionally.

Rito, on the other hand, just scratched his head and walked out of the home with a smile on his face, as he tried applying instant-sprint in between the jog to increase its proficiency and always felt that the dashing speed of his body was truly inhuman in this state.

Making him think about how strong he will become if he continues to work on his physique like this, or if there is a human limit to it.

As he finally came to rest and checked his status.

[Ding! Instant-Dungeon Created]

[Dungeon Quest: Protect Mahiru from being harassed by members of Mobius Gang.]

[Direction: ******]

[Time Limit: 10 minutes.]

[Reward: It will be allocated on the basis of Host performance.]

Rito's questions were all abruptly answered as he picked up the bottle of tea and sprinted in the direction of the quest, which was now clearly visible to him on the map in the right-hand corner of his vision.

"So, this is how the quest will be given to me, and there are several methods by which one can clear this quest, where I can choose from various options like making a dash out of there with Mahiru-san or fighting them."

Rito cracked a smile, and before he knew it, he was beginning to feel the excitement that his former self had in him, which was one of his character traits.

Yes! In his previous life, Rito was a battle junkie!

On the other hand!

Mahiru only intended to go shopping for some breakfast-related groceries; she had no idea that her trip would lead her to run into a student from her school who was hanging out with a Moebius bike gang member.

She initially did not want to associate with people of that type and intended to leave the location, but bad luck caused the boy to notice her. He then spoke to the guys next to him, causing them all to turn and look at her.

Although Mahiru attempted to leave the area after that, the bikers stopped her in her tracks, and at the time of writing, they were blocking the only access road to her apartment.

"Wow! She really turned out to have an angel-like appearance!" One of the middle-bike riders cursed while displaying a hint of lust in his eyes and gazing at Mahiru with a cunning smile and eerie laughter.

"Please clear the road; I have to go back to my home." Mahiru acknowledged that she felt somewhat helpless, but she fought back against the urge to give in and tried to talk her way out of the predicament. However, her comment only served to boost the gangsters' self-assurance as they all descended from the bike and then turned to glare at everyone else who was considering coming out to aid Mahiru.

"I'll call the police!" Mahiru had already taken out her mobile, making those guys more edgy as they all laughed simultaneously, making Mahiru back off a little with fear appearing within her eyes.

"Then call them, given till the moment they will appear, we will be done with the things that we all wanted to do with you." The person with such experience spoke first, gazing at Mahiru and licking his lips with a contented grin on his face.

"Mahiru-san, if you say okay to be my girlfriend, I will take this out with others, and they will not harm you, for sure." The student from Mahiru's school, who was standing between the experienced man and Mahiru, finally spoke up as he observed Mahiru's unsteady demeanor and the tear that had begun to form in the corner of her eye.

Hearing those words only made Mahiru feel really angry, as she turned to look at the boy from her school with a glaring look on her face.

"I say, man, if you want to hit on her, then don't you think doing this will only make her hate you enough or something?" Suddenly a calm voice appeared beside Mahiru, and without even letting those bike members notice him, Rito's figure appeared beside Mahiru as his hand tapped on her shoulder with a grin on his face.

"Busy body! Guy!" Mahiru eventually started muttering as she remembered Rito's face from that day. At the time, she felt a little guilty for bothering Rito in such a way, but now that he was standing next to her, she felt calmer.

"That's how you thank the guy who is trying to save you." Rito's mouth twitched when she called him a busybody, but she quickly recovered when she saw the composed smile on his face, despite the fact that she had a small tear dripping from the corner of her eyes.

"Oi! Don't go around flirting with girls in front of others." All of them twitched as they watched Mahiru smile in such an endearing way in front of Rito, and especially their boss became enraged at Rito for acting impolitely and flirting in front of him.

"I don't think I need permission to do anything in front of you; plus, I don't want to hear these words from a bunch of dogs who were just trying to molest her in public."

Rito's words carried the impression that everyone who heard them felt the same way about the gang members—a combination of disgust and rage.

"Fuck you, brat!" Rito made an impressive and startling dash, which stunned the other guys as his entire body accelerated with instant-sprint skill.

His left hook directly used the whole momentum to land a solid hit on the guy with the bat, making him lose consciousness and hit the bike as he flew back with that punch.

Rito's left hook caused the guy to lose consciousness and hit the bike as he flew back with that punch, which made Mahiru startle a little.

"Say, can we end with this? I truly did not wish to send you all to the hospital like this, and also don't try to mess with any girl from now on." The group's leader realized that the person standing in front of him was not someone he could mess with, and he felt a chill run behind his back.

Despite the fact that he was a minor gang leader in Moebius and had witnessed numerous fights involving his boss, even he was not able to send someone flying in this manner.

Rito's strength was a good indicator for him that he was stronger than his boss, so he could only nod and temporarily agree to his request.

"Then that's all good..." Rito grinned innocuously as he observed the other man nodding in agreement with what he had to say. Rito had been worried that the punch he had delivered might have killed the other man, but it appeared that the other man was only temporarily unconscious.

"Also, is he alive? I didn't mean to hit him that hard, but he looked so scary running with a bat like that, I ended up using my full strength to attack; really, I didn't mean to knock him out cold like that."

"No, he is alright; I am sure of it; we are used to getting beaten like that."

"That's not a cool thing to say, man, but you are such a nice guy, why are you trying to be gangster and all, which is rather dangerous."

"That's all I am currently capable of doing."

"Huh! That is incorrect; you are still in high school, which means you have the rest of your life to decide things. Humans are wishful thinkers, so if you ever find something you want to do, please ask me for assistance."

Looking at Rito talking with gangsters and trying to help them out, Mahiru ended up laughing as she looked at Rito being worried about the guy that he had knocked unconscious.

Rito turned to face Mahiru, who was smiling for the first time, and thought that not showing other people smiling in this way was such a waste of a pretty face.

Even the gangsters fell silent as they began to feel guilty for making Mahiru cry in such a way, even though they are the ones who live on a razor's edge.

Their only source of comfort and outlet for their emotions in this life was raping, courtship, and other illegal activities. They were not capable of finding true happiness or experiences like falling in love.

Because of their abusive father and the fact that they witnessed their mother being beaten all day, even though they were all good people at heart, their hearts began to grow cold as no further comfort could be offered.

But today, they found a guy who was a really strong fighter and even beat the senses out of one of their members, but when they found him, he was worrying about the knocked-out guy.

He tried to compel them out of their hostile world of fighting with kind words, but they all believed that this was also the right course of action.

They all discovered that Rito was currently residing in a different world from their own.

Unconsciously! Rito was employing the personal leading vibe of a protagonist, which caused those five members to feel guilty and had an unintended consequence.

// Author Note:

Hey guys, what do you think about this way of dealing with the gangster, as I am not type to like much bloodshed and beating other party very badly to gain heroine favours. I write in this manner, displaying Rito full power and then scaring and changing their mindset about being gangster, since I have a storyline-up after this incident, in which, all five of them will play a crucial role in Rito development.

Comment me below this chapter about your own perspective on this topic for further discussion.
