Next is–!!
Koutarou then slammed the knife's grip at the frying pan.
The force behind the impact was enough to dent the frying pan and sent it crashing into the ceiling.
And finally–!!
All that was left were the large plate and bottle. Since they were now both directly above the girl's head, Koutarou didn't have the time to deal with them separately. Instead, he spun his body around and launched a kick.
Koutarou's leg passed just a few centimeters above the girl's head. At the same time, the plate and bottle collided with his leg. There was barely enough time, but thanks to the utensils colliding with his leg, their direction changed and fell onto the floor without so much as touching the girl.
The plate and bottle crashed into the floor and shattered. The remaining cooking alcohol left in the bottle splashed across the floor.
“Did I do it?!”
After finishing it up with a kick, Koutarou checked the girl in question for any injuries. The girl's eyes were wide open from surprise, but she seemed unharmed.
“... Phew... You don't seem to be hurt...”
After confirming that she was okay, Koutarou dropped his shoulders from relief. He then returned the knife in his hand to the shelf and fixed it firmly in place, making sure that it wouldn't fall again even if someone bumped into the shelf.
Once Koutarou closed the shelf, the sound of it returned the children who had been standing perfectly still to their senses.
“Did you see that...?”
“I did... but I couldn't see it...”
“But. Even if we couldn't see it... there's no doubting it...”
“Yeah. This person is definitely the Blue Knight...”
“It looked like a cartoon I saw the other day.”
“Hey, did you get that on video?”
“Probably. I was recording from the start.”
“Give me a copy later.”
“Sure. Let's show everyone else. I bet they'll be surprised.”
Having witnessed Koutarou's power upfront, they were more overwhelmed by him than the girl's crisis. Even though they had been told that Koutarou was the real Blue Knight before, it wasn't until this moment that they became fully convinced of it.
“'U-Uhm, Blue Knight, thank you for saving me...”
“Owowow, I messed up, I put too much strength in it!!”
However, the legendary person that had surprised the children and gained their respect recalled the pain from punching the pot and was too distracted to even notice their gazes.
