Chapter 9 (2/2)
Perhaps he it had been a mistake But even so…
“… I am…”
Manaka left behind a ridiculously grandiose challenge, and left I’ll have to think over it for as long as I have to press onwards
But right now, there’s so more important
“… Like hell I’d let it go down like this…!”
I’ll take down that Hero of Justice
This isn’t for vengeance That’s barking up the wrong tree right there If I let that one go, then Manaka-san, and the rest of us will have been nothing but s I can’t forgive that
Neito didn’t actually know the reason for thispicture Perhaps a day would co that reason
But for now, as a single cos to end this way
“… I’ll do it If I’ bad, then this much is…”
I’ll even fight your Hero of Justice
It was the saer than when he had threatened Eda into victory
Neito discarded the unifor a T-shi+rt and khakis below He tossed his uniforun he had from the start into the space between his pants and him
“I’ll be borrowing this, Manaka-san”
He went on to take the Rifle Manaka had, and…
“Stop!!! Don’t shoot!! Please, spare my life!!”
Neito screaunpoint to his own left ar out resolve froer
A gunshot resounded in the area
The round gouged out the flesh of his arm
“UWAAAAAAAAH!!!!”
It hurt just as much as he had expected The pain caused hiround
“… Aaaah… Gwaaaaaaah!!”
He hadn’t his a vital But a vehement pain raced across his body
It’s no good Rolling around in pain is good an all But that should be an act, shouldn’t it?
Contain it The pain, contain the anguish
“…”
He gritted his teeth hard enough it felt his molars would snap And he endured
He’ll couy will come He’ll surely come Because that one is a Hero of Justice after all
The seconds of eternity he spent holding back the pain Within his fading consciousness, in the corner of his vision, he saw him Dylan
A white warrior He kneould return Because the hero would be certain there was no one here but Metallica’s members and himself And so as there to scream? Did a civilian wander in by chance? Or so he would think
“… Hah… hah…”
Conveniently enough, blood had begun to spread out fro the wound look more severe than it was
“!! Why…! Are you alright!? Sir!?”
He came at once As expected And Dylan undid his transformation to help Neito up
Well of course The transformed state had that much power in its body There’s no way he’d lift up a heavily injured person with that If handled poorly, he could fracture bones without the slightest intent I do believe there was an incident like that quite a while ago
“Sir!? Get a hold on yourself…! Why did this…”
Hmm So he’s a cool, hard-boiled oldhandsome schmuck, but when you think about it, he did becoo
“… You can’t remain here There are… Metallica soldiers… they suddenly shot at me…! I’m sure they’re still around…”
“It’s alright now! I’ll take you to the hospital at once…!”
The ar and warm
Ah, as expected, this guy really is a nice person Well of course By hi on for the sake of everyone, hasn’t he But you see
“The hospital can wait After you’ve taken a good punch or two”
His expression suddenly changed as he said that
“Wha…!?”
Without a moment’s delay, Neito drew the tranquilizer at his waist, and pushed it against Dylan’s chest
“Bang”
He immediately fired
A surprise attack at point blank He had removed his transformation, and he didn’t even take a defensive stance Metallica’s signature tranquilizer round that could take down large gaht on
“…! Y…ou…!! Were… Metallica…?”
Dylan unsteadily separated for, he breathed his mind
“Yeah That’s right As expected of a hero You can still move after that?”
“… damn… you Underhan… ded…”
“Are you an idiot? I’ bad things?”
Neito himself helt he would pass out from the pain, but he frantically withheld it, and showed off a fearless smile
“…”
“How ‘bout it? Is the ? Noeet dreams After you’re down, me and my comrades will leisurely finish you off”
He always had to show off composure As an underhanded schemer who’d planned it all out
“… Kuh”
Dylan squeezed out his strength, and ran off fro that would knock out an elephant, so I never thought he would be able to run What’s er’s freakin’ fast His ive up battle and flee
“… So I couldn’t… bring him down…”
His staround The sun had already set
He instantly relaxed his mind He was horridly tired
“… Manaka… san…”
In the desolate quay, Neito whispered, and passed out
On that day, Metallica’s other detachment was able to promptly suppress the research facility as planned Without any interference from Dylan
A single Miscellaneous newbie had confronted Dylan, and let alone surviving, he had evenfor such news to spread around within the company
