Hot-Blooded District: The Gods

Blurb 1

The Jindai family was wiped out by the Clean Water Society, once one of the Nine Dragons.

She lay low on Nameless Street for three years.

While pursuing the remaining members, she accidentally stumbled into the Sannoh parking lot, where the five major factions had gathered.

At that meeting, she somehow acquired a nickname:

Little Hinata.

She was just as crazy as Hinata Norihisa.

"It's Jindai Haruka, you idiots."

Later, when the Nine Dragons came after her, Hinata Norihisa offered her a place with him, and Jindai Haruka somehow ended up joining the Daruma Family.

Her side quest was to get a part-time job and make some money, but why wasn't she getting a cut for helping the Daruma Family run its casino?!

"Working myself to the bone and not getting a single cent is infuriating. I'm definitely leaving..."

Why did she need money? Maybe it was to pay for Smoky's treatment.

Her friend Takajo Tsukasa recommended she try an underground fight club, where she met Liu Longren, the young master of the Nine Dragons.

No sparks flew between them, just blood.

"You used that scalpel on Smoky. I'll get you back with my katana."

"This is interesting. Looks like we're natural enemies."

During the battle against the Black and White Halls, Jindai Haruka arrived with her katana to save the day.

"Rocky, I hear your employees get good benefits. What's the pay like? Do you get health insurance and a pension?"

Lately, though, the thing giving her a headache was a jailbird named Jesse who wouldn't leave her alone.

"Hey, Lydia."

"I don't talk to ex-cons."

Takajo Tsukasa asked what she planned to do with her life as a drifter.

Her answer was:

"Go back to Luoyaliu City and take over the family business."

She thought life would be much more peaceful back in Luoyaliu City, until some mushroom-headed guy accidentally burned down her family home.

The young man known as Housen's strongest arrived with his men to apologize.

"What's your deal?"

Jindai Haruka always thought the dead were the best at keeping secrets, until she met Sachio.

Lao was interested in meeting her and had just said,

"Give me your number."

The next moment, Sachio stepped between them.

"What's your deal?"

Blurb 2

Jindai Nen joined Oya High to become stronger.

Like a startled rabbit, she spent the whole time clinging to the back of Tsukasa Takajo, who had transferred with her.

After meeting the King of Oya High, he often asked Jindai Nen to tell him ghost stories.

Just how boring were those days of training?

Murayama was thrilled when he got to try the sweets she'd made for the first time.

Then he spotted her laughing with Takajo Tsukasa on the rooftop, with a familiar box of sweets between them.

"Was I just a guinea pig so you could feed that sleeping lion?"

Slow-on-the-uptake Jindai Nen couldn't understand why Murayama looked so furious when she'd only gone to visit her sister's friend.

Murayama, lost in his own thoughts, was getting increasingly worked up.

"I just can't leave you anymore!"

The girl only smiled, her eyes curving.

"Then let's stay together forever!"
