2-11: The Border Between Justified and Excessive (3/5)

Ha!

But of course, even without confirming that, just the fact that they were running around swinging about a weapon without care was enough for Rinko not to pay them any consideration.

With the family behind her and the civilians around in mind, Rinko stepped forward.

She dodged the knife coming at her and twisted the thiefs arm forcefully.

Ow!?

When she heard that the knife had been dropped, she pulled on the arm that was extended toward her and sent a kick flying toward the mans stomach. Just that one blow was enough to force the man to squat and groan out in pain. Then she moved her fingers, and the wristwatch-type terminal on her shone. In the next moment, an energy rope wrapped itself around the mans arms and legs. This was a skill meant to apprehend criminals.

What!?

Countermeasure Departments Mobile Force! Youre under arrest!Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

As the other thief saw what was happening and became petrified, Rinkos proof of identity was projected on the air from her wristwatch-type terminal.

The presence of a person from the Countermeasure Department and that sharp voice immediately caused the other thief to falter, but he quickly realized that there was a boy right next to him. His lips curved into a smile.

Oh no!

At a glance, the boy looked like a normal docile child carrying a baby.

Rinko had taken a step forward to take down the earlier thief, so this thief was closer to the boy than her.

The man thought himself fortunate, while the boys parents panicked.

Hey, you better behave!?

But the boy himself just found the situation to be a pain.

It neednt be said. Here was a boy who had just kicked an adult without the slightest expression on his face. Even those eyes of his that looked down on the man crying in pain were blank. Not a hint of the high from fighting nor the hate toward a criminal could be seen in them. No. Not even pity or compassion.

It was as if he merely kicked the man because he was annoying.

No one said anything, but it was exactly that atmosphere that caused everyone to falter.

The only ones who didnt notice that was the man who has lost in mind from the and the person himself.

S-Shinichi-kun, Are Are you alright?

The first one to call out to him was his mother, who was the first to regain her senses.

She herself didnt know what exactly she was asking, but she just wanted to ask that question.

It was curious how Shinichi took her words, but in response, he broke that expressionless face and smiled at her.

Yes, its alright. Shinji didnt see anything.

Au, Ii, kya!

Please! Somebody call an ambulance! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! My bones are broken!!

Shinichi showed a proud face to Rinko as he held his younger brother.

Shinichi calmly protected his younger brother while covering his eyes.

It seemed he knew enough (self-aware) not to show a scene like that to a baby, but unfortunately, he was still some ways off.

Shinji, who had his vision blocked, cried unhappily.
