2-13: It is a Simple Thing to Destroy One’s Everyday Life (3/6)
Huh?
Whats going on?
Shinichis voice was a lot firmer than hed thought. Rinko and Nobuhiko stopped moving and turned around.
Although Nobuhiko looked at Shinichis back suspiciously, he put down the bag anyway.
And then as if on cue, she quietly jumped out and looked around.
Shinichi kun?
Rinko was confused by the sudden change in Shinichis aura, but she still hadnt noticed it.
The oddity mixed in the normal scenery of the department store that Shinichi was looking at.
And then without any hesitation, Shinichi took a random hard item and threw it.
Shinichis eyes were already locked on the suspect.
A-All of you be quiet! Right now this pla Gyan!?
The suspicious man was about to yell something, but something hit him square in the jaws.
The unexpected impact shook the mans head and knocked him out in one hit.
Coincidentally, the thing he held in his hand rolled over to the other customers.
Huh?
A-A gun!?
When the customers realized why the man was carrying that, they all jumped out of the way.
But only a few of them believed that the gun was real.
More people gathered to ask what was going on than to flee.
Tch.
Damn crowd getting in the way As Shinichi spat that he clicked his tongue.
At the very least they should realize that its a real gun from the sound of the material and the weight.
Of course, that was an unreasonable thing to demand from a normal person, but Shinichi didnt have the time to notice that.
Something else had caught his attention.
What was reflected on his eyes was not just one person.
How dare you, you brat!
Cant you see this thing!?
Eek, kyaa!!
They had friends with them. The men all took out the same gun from their bosom and waved it around.
In the midst of their confusion and fear, a small organism appeared before them.
Fox-like features, multiple tails, and fur like gold.
There was a coldness mixed in with its breath, though it seemed it was intentionally showing it off.
There was also purple lightning and fire on the tails swaying behind it.
A-Amaryllis!?
Yes, there was no doubting it.
That untouchable creature that could destroy a country on its own was right before them.
Regardless of its age, that was not an opponent they could take on even with a gun.
But of course, even that has already been sealed.
H-Hey! I never heard about this!
They said it was a simple job! Just use the gun and scare them!
Dont talk. Dont move. Dont breathe
Eek!?
What!?
While they were focused on her, the boy approached them.
By the time they heard his voice from behind, they were taken down with a knife hand without even being able to turn around.
Upon being hit at the neck, the two men couldnt even cry out before collapsing.
Shut up and sleep.
Not a hint of satisfaction nor relief could be seen on Shinichis face as he looked down on the five armed men that had fallen on their faces.
It was eerie how hard it was to read that face seemingly void of emotion.
But what was more was
Something like that, I guess. No one got hurt. Good job, me.
the person himself was praising himself for holding back.
Although all of the men had been knocked out, none of them had any visible wounds.
But Shinichi immediately regretted it after nodding to himself triumphantly.
To think I would be on the receiving end of the same gaze twice in a day Is this excessive self-defense too?
He had held back a lot too.
He was so precise it was like running a thread into the eye of a needle.
But people still gave him that same look from earlier.
Tl Note: Site ran into a major problem yesterday, but it should be fixed now. Lets pray it doesnt come back.
