He also saw Yor and Carol with some schoolmates near the pool area. Caleb found a place to stay with Miku while enjoying the atmosphere of the place.
There were many women in swimsuits playing in the pool. Some of them were so hot that Caleb couldn't help but take a second look, but that was it.
He also focused on where Yor's group was, as some girls near her were wearing tiny bathing suits.
This was the first time he had witnessed a party like this. But perhaps because he knew about the apocalypse, he managed to act normally and wasn't even impressed by everything he saw.
As he was figuring things out, he observed the hot girls one by one. The first had short brown hair but a voluptuous body.
Caleb didn't like her much. She seemed like the type who goes to every party. Probably already conquered by many guys.
Which Caleb thought was correct. He watched the girl start making out with some random guy. He shifted his focus to another person.
He looked at Carol's friends. One girl was especially beautiful, with long black hair and an orange bikini.
Her breasts were slightly above average, but her butt and thighs were perfect. Wide hips and long legs.
Caleb especially liked observing different women.
Overall, the party seemed normal, with nothing out of the ordinary. Caleb took the chance to spend some time with Miku.
They went everywhere they could, played simple games together, tried different dishes and the exclusive refreshments available.
They also talked about random things, practically everything that came to mind. There were moments when people joined the conversation and responded with a few words, not wanting to be rude.
Without realizing it, they lost track of time and kept having fun with each other.
Caleb had to admit that, although Minoru had a bad reputation, he knew how to throw a decent party.
After spending a considerable amount of time at the party, he still hadn't found anyone with high HP. That was a bit disappointing, but not too much.
…
"So you guys were here." Yor finally found them after walking around the entire house. They were in a quiet hallway, tired of being approached by people: "I've been trying to find you for a while."
"We stayed here because it was too noisy outside, and we were bored, not knowing what else to do." Caleb replied.
Miku asked: "By the way, where's Carol?"
"Carol-chan just went to the bathroom. She'll be back in a few minutes." Yor said: "Let's wait for her then."
While the three were talking, waiting for Carol's arrival, an annoying voice echoed through the entire hallway: "Yor, you came!"
Everyone turned to where the voice was and saw a guy wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and white pants.
His hair was neatly combed, but that only made him look worse than he already was. Caleb realized that guy was Minoru.
HP: [19]
'Huh? His HP is pretty low.' Caleb thought to himself.
Minoru and his group walked toward them. He shamelessly hugged Yor, but she stepped back to dodge.
For a brief moment, Caleb felt Yor's eyes sharpen like a razor.
Meanwhile, Minoru just gave a chuckle before going to Miku and planning to hug her too, but Yor immediately pulled Miku behind her.
Minoru's lascivious eyes examined them with so much lust that Caleb was furious. A cold glint could be seen deeply hidden in his eyes.
He could easily beat him up now, but that wouldn't benefit them at all.
'If you're still alive in the apocalypse, I'll kill you.' He thought.
"You haven't changed at all, Yor, still the same as last time." Minoru's face displayed a smile that made people want to jump on him to wipe it off, destroying it.
However, the people behind Minoru just looked at them as if nothing unusual was happening.
"Hmm? Who's this?" Minoru noticed the presence of this new guy with Yor and her sister, but it was the first time he saw a new face he couldn't recognize. Someone beside him whispered in his ear: "Caleb? That Caleb?"
When one of the people behind him nodded, Minoru looked at Caleb while nodding, assessing him: "Hmm. What a transformation, too bad you're not even close to my level."
Minoru looked condescendingly at Caleb.
"That's weird…" Caleb suddenly said.
"What's weird?" Minoru asked.
"Don't you agree with me? Look at you, you have so much money, but no mirror?" Caleb feigned surprise.
This drew laughs from some, who tried to hide it, while Miku and Yor laughed openly.
"You…!" Pointing at Caleb with his face red from embarrassment, Minoru trembled with anger and humiliation.
Used to humiliating others and not the other way around, this was a huge slap in the face for him.
The worst part was that many agreed with Caleb's observation but didn't dare say it out loud for fear of the power behind Minoru.
Swallowing his anger, Minoru thought of something.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk" Minoru shook his head, turning to Miku: "So that's why you broke up with Tsunoda? Heh, that guy brags too much about being with you, what do you think he'd do if he found out about this?"
Minoru looked at the ceiling, tapping his finger on his chin. Everyone, including him, assumed Caleb had come for Miku, as they couldn't imagine he might have come for Yor.
One of the guys behind Minoru, wanting to gain his favor, said: "Why hasn't this guy died yet? I just checked, and this guy's just a normal person. That's what ignorance does to you?"
Minoru heard some information about Caleb.
Since it was never hidden, it wasn't hard to get.
"Hey! Aren't you going to defend your girlfriend? Well, I get it. You're just a poor guy who lost his parents and lives off charity." What Minoru said was indeed true.
However, the way he spoke, belittling his parents and even mocking him like that, only made Caleb want to laugh out loud.
In the next instant, Caleb's eyes blinked, and time stopped.
30 seconds.
It wasn't a long time, but not too short either.
Caleb thought of everything.
The moment time froze, he rushed to the guy who had earlier gathered information about him, and made him raise his hands.
Then, Caleb went and grabbed a stone statue that only had the upper torso and placed it in this guy's hands, then aimed it toward Minoru's head.
After doing all this, he returned to his original position.
When time resumed, the first thing heard was a shout yelling: "WATCH OUT!"
Soon, a loud scream came along with the sound of something hitting a head hard.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Bang!"
"Call the ambulance!"
"Murderer!"
Chaos ensued.
Caleb only made Miku step back behind him while looking with a cold smile in Minoru's direction.
Meanwhile, the guy from before, named Shinji, was restrained by several others.
"What a mess…" Miku touched her heart, breathing deeply.
She wasn't the only one surprised. In fact, everyone was shocked.
"Why did Shinji-san do that?"
"Didn't you know? It seems Minoru raped his older sister. But until now, he pretended not to care, even continued as one of Minoru's followers, who knows, maybe he was waiting for a chance to get revenge?"
Various speculations were made.
In fact, this rape story was made up by the guy who said it, but since Shinji did have an older sister and had been rejected by her, he decided to throw dirt on her as revenge.
After all, being raped, even if not her fault, wasn't well-regarded. In fact, she might even be treated differently, as if she were the guilty one and not the victim.
Some even say things like: Well, look at how she dressed, she was asking to be raped. I bet she enjoyed it!
Minutes later, sirens were heard.
The emergency service was the first to arrive, followed by the police to take Shinji into custody for the crime of attempted murder or murder if Minoru died.
"I didn't do it, I swear I didn't do it!" Shinji denied while being handcuffed and taken by the police.
But who would believe him? Everyone saw what he did!
While all this was happening, Caleb watched with an amused look.
He was the real culprit, but no one had proof.
