Chapter 47

That’s no laughing matter

Neito continued falling down If he were to hit the ground at this speed, he would definitely die

He never liked high places He was about to feint when he fell froed to stay awake Maybe Anice’s date on a roller-coaster helped hih

I can’t go down like this… I still have plans to take over Crie the world and find the answer for Manaka-san’s question in his last moments

Move! Move! C’mon body, Move!

[Open it!]

His body still hasn’t recovered fros

But,

[…It’s no use…]

Neito couldn’t fully expand his wings Even if he did, his wings were battered frolide properly because of the as In other words, it was only dead weight

Did he anticipate uy

He tried to reach for the building walls, but he couldn’t reach for it Is this part of his calculations too? All for o to hell…

He recognized Slipknot’s capability

I’m not done yet… don’t you underesti called hell, I’ll end up there, but not today

I’ve always ga, that’s how it’s always been A situation like this…

[Haaaaa!]

If his wings served no purpose, he didn’t need thes and tore them off

[Almost there…!]

Neito ripped out his bloodstained wings and stretched it out towards the walls of the building Though bloodstained and battered, it was [Evil Silhouette’s] wings, it wouldn’t easily break when rubbed against concrete

With the sounds of joints breaking, the wings reached the building walls A sharp feeling of pain came upon Neito’s shoulder

The wings collided with the concrete, slowing, and stopping his fall

[Haa… Haa… That was a close call…]

He fell half of the building’s height It took him approximately twenty five floors to break his fall

Neito sacrificedhis wing off His right arth, he grabbed on to his wings with his left arm

It drained hi himself up with his left hand His transfored to survive

[……!]

But he wasn’t out of the woods yet On the top of the building, Slipknot was looking at him from a brokenHe closely observed him since he started his fall Slipknot was determined to see him splatter like a red tomato

Once he saw Neito hold on, he immediately withdrew from the

Slipknot was co to finish him off

Even at thisdown the stairs or singing along with the elevator music

[Well this is getting handy…]

Neito’s transforht arushed out from his back All in all, he only had his left arm to do with

For the first ti at him

(TLN: Niina’s POV)

[You’re kidding ot…]

Few minutes after Neito transformed and went after Slipknot, Niina issued orders to use Cr

i Board” It was a small tool that allowed its rider to fly Niina used this and went after Neito

It was the first ti a snow board or surf board Both of which, Niina was very familiar with

It didn’t have too much speed, and it can only fly for aforward, Niina could see Neito through the LED nification function

Once Neito started fighting with Slipknot, Niina landed in a nearby building and continued to observe hih the LED monitor

Slipknot was a mysterious enemy, but I’m sure he will handle it well… or at least, that hat Niina thought

A tricky battle co It was truly a desperate situation

[Are you serious…? That easily…]

His legs started shaking Niina was an employee of Metallica He experienced many battles before, but he never stood on the front-lines hi decisions That was because it was Neito or Tsurugi ht he could live by his speed and footwork in the battlefield alone

That hy it was his first ti this kind of situation

What should I do?

Go and help Neito? You’ve got to be kidding me What can I do in that situation? There’s no way I can anization Slipknot is busy with Neito now If I run, no doubt I could easily get away

On the other hand, if Neito is defeated by Slipknot, the blailante that had put an end to e to live by But if I try and rescue Neito, there’s a huge possibility that I would die

[…That’s right…]

Niina turned his back on Neito as desperate

[There’s no choice…]

I should just run now

[Senpai… Se-senp…]

He threay his pride to preserve his live… But at thatHe realized what he was saying was very relevant

Senpai? That’s right, he’s my [Senpai]

I’ve called a lot of people “senpai” during college and during clubs, but that’s just forless formalities

Niina was a naïve boy In his studies and in sports, hetooan effort That was because he believed he didn’t need it

Why is everybody trying so hard? Niina just randos well He didn’t possess any special ability, but nonetheless, he wasn’t lacking any skill He just barely es and arrives where he wants to arrive He never once was passionate in doing so

He was able to get along with anybody, talking nonsense and getting close

For Niina, the teret close to a person

That also applied to Neito Niina heard that he was a real villain, and so he thought he should call him “senpai”

He didn’t notice when he started calling Neito “senpai” when he wasn’t around

He thought “who is this guy?” when he was first assigned to him in Okinawa To him, Neito looked weak and cowardly at that time, and didn’t fit the title of “villain” Despite that, he made the most bizarre decision and rose to the top

He had the will to do it when it came to do it, but most of the time, Neito had a weak heart That was also the same when it came to women Sometimes, Neito would be too shy towards people

When Niina did soular” work, Neito complimented hi it, so Niina decided to put a more effort into it

Neito ed to achieve incredible feats That was the result of hi it with all his best No et over it and move forward

He was no longer doubting that it was due to pure luck that Neito was able to accoht of copying Tsurugi’s “Understood” as a for passionate over so didn’t suit him after-all

Maybe that’s what e Neito as his “Senpai”

He may be different thanabout it, Niina never considered so effortlessly

That person is different To be frank, Neito is just a normal human He didn’t have the body nor the wit He may have trained his body since he entered Metallica, but it didn’t amount to much In terms of capability, Neito couldn’t be compared to Niina But …

I’ve never seen a person like that To me he’s the one true “senpai” for me
