Taiko in his Grimm form turned on the stream on his phone and filmed all the kidnapped children in the basement of their house after he neutralized four pedophiles. They did not become some kind of big problem. He exchanged a few blows with them, a few dodges, a couple of misses, but his combat experience only grew from this.
-Ahem. Behold what the negligence of the authorities on this issue leads to. On whose hands is the broken psyche of these children? Oops~ - he said dramatically. - You will know each bastard by sight before I work with them, and then give them to you to be torn apart, dear parents. Just look at what they did to your children. - he pointed the camera at the destitute, hungry and hunted broken children.
- Slavery and pedophilia of the 21st century are flourishing. Eh~ Who can you count on in this world, huh? But no, everyone is interested in the new top one of Japan! - He begged for pity from the audience, and also hinted at the uselessness of the police and the heroes. - Oh! ~ And imagine if the local police knew about this, but a wide wallet and an inflated mug prevented them from seeing the problem. Corrupt pigs! - Grimm burst into a scream. He really didn't know that he had a talent for acting. Apparently, the mask gives confidence and excitement.
- Okay, let's move on to the most interesting part. - His voice became more serious. The camera frame changed to a room where four men were sitting in bags with gags in their mouths. - Your ass ... it looks like he pissed himself, it's flowing. Ha-ha-ha-a!!! They are shaking with fear, do you see!? - Grimm bent down and barely whispered in the pedophile's ear, but it sounded incredibly loud. These words touched the very soul. - Because I'm here~. - Parodied the Almighty Grimm, which caused a real explosion in the chat. It was shown on the main news channels, the entire Prefecture and even beyond watched. The stream quickly gained over a hundred thousand viewers, and soon a million.
- Yo, how many of you are here? Interesting, huh? I accept donations in cryptocurrency! The address is in the description. Let's finally reveal the first gnome!
- Drum roll! - he paused. - Param! - he opened the bag. The man saw that he was being streamed to the whole country and growled through the gaffe and tears. - Do I feel sorry for your relatives or not. You will see the passport on the screen in three seconds. - he growled again.
- Can you imagine, they kidnapped this boy right before my eyes. Come here. - a boy in a school uniform sheepishly approached the frame. -As you can see, they didn't have time to do anything to him, and he's fine. Parents, so invite him for tea sometime~.
-Thank you, Mr. Grimm. - the boy shook his hand shyly.
-Oh. How sweet, and now shoo-shoo, I still need to earn money. Ahem. What was I talking about. - he took out a hammer and hit him hard on the knee, breaking it on the man without a bag on his head.
-M-m-m-m!!!! - he growled into the gag in pain, slowly turning into tears. The chat exploded again with messages like "He really did it!" or "This is not a setup!" "Get those bastards!" or "R.I.P" with a sad coffin and a skull emoji.
A couple more blows, but the stream was blocked and deleted. -"It's okay, the Internet remembers everything." He checked the anonymous crypto wallet and was happy. According to the published data from the media, judging by his income per stream, he exceeded the income of some pro heroes in a month. The chat continued to rage and curse the streaming service and their centers, showering them with complaints. He was sent a link in the chat of a streaming service safe from bans, where you can stream via phone.
A couple of minutes later, he continued the stream on another platform, attaching only one address in cryptocurrency and distributing the link in the chat of the previous stream.
- Yo, why do they hate the truth so much? Be sure to write this down and share it with your friends, everyone should know about it. - in the background he heard painful groans. - Shut up, bitch! - chopped him off with a blow to the head, breaking his nose. - Next...

Finally, he was done with all the torture and mutilation. Because he was streaming in the basement, his location could not be found, but somehow his IP was figured out. It was the police and the ambulance, he hurried to retreat thanks to the donors. For the entire Internet, he became a symbol of fear, retribution, lynching and justice, and for someone a merciless monstrous criminal violating all ethical boundaries.
In any case, he was already late for Kuin, who had already finished her lessons.
- Kuin, I'm sorry, I'm late. - a mask was slightly visible in his backpack. - Oh. - he had never been caught so stupidly, on the one hand - it's good that Kuin will no longer have a secret, but on the other, will this become a threat to her?
Kuin realized that this mask belonged to Grimm, and Taiko who hid it in the backpack, as well as appeared at the very end of the sensational stream, was not an accident. - It... It was you?
- He-he... - he rubbed his nose. He was exposed.
- You - were - just - cool!!! - Kuin hugged him.
This was not the reaction he expected, at least he was afraid to become a stranger to her, so that she would not feel disgust towards him. It's good that she considers him a hero. Coming home and lying on the soft sofa in his house, Taiko wound her hair around his finger.
-And how long have you known?
-I suspected. Your training, the gym in the basement, and the money appears from nowhere.
-And you know Kyudai, he doesn't give money for free. You are so smart, Kuin. School seems good for you.
-Baaa. It's boring there... especially without you... - she whispered the last thing.
-What? I can't hear you, louder please!~ - Taiko began to tickle her.

The stream attracted the attention of the bandits whose business was destroyed. Finally, after a long time, Grimm got in touch again, this time in the city of Jaku. So they need to search further. They united around a leader who also tried to find Grimm because he lost literally everything because of him: family, business, love, care, respect of his people, money. They became known as the Cult of Retribution to Grimm.
However, in contrast to this, fan clubs began to form and his unique symbolism of a red bee on a black background, because, as rumors say, Grimm mentioned many times on the stream how much he loves honey. Fans fully supported his actions and actively followed the latest news about him. Only a few found someone similar to Grimm in the event a year ago, where two police officers were killed, but fans prefer to rely on the fact that these are just rumors and speculation.
Indeed, this controversial personality did not gather crowds of fans around himself, but only followers of certain measures aimed at tougher and harsher suppression of crime than there are at the moment. Most people are simply surprised by his unique actions, until they realize the simple but main fact - everything is done for money. This is the original goal of Grimm.
Everyone is left to guess what Grimm's next step is. Crime or punishment?
Taiko himself felt an unpleasant aftertaste after this dirty, but in some sense just and noble deed. He left the mutilated pedophiles in the hands of the police. - "Let them live in fear, pain and hatred."
