229 The Battles Only Beginning (1/2)
There was the sound of gunfire as Seiji pressed down on the trigger.
This scene seemed cool to the max!
Some female audience members couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.
The scene momentarily paused on his dashing figure before changing to the Red Team members that he had just ambushed.
There was a chorus of beeping sounds, indicating that they were taking damage continuously. The Red Team members, under heavy fire, started panicking.
Two people were immediately eliminated.
”Red #3 and #9 have ‘died.’ Please leave the field.”
By the time they finally reacted and started hiding and counterattacking, the Red Team had lost an additional member.
”Cover me, Miyamoto-san!”
Taking out three people was already an excellent result, but Seiji still wasn’t satisfied. He rushed out immediately after shouting, crouched down, and moved swiftly, utilizing the cover of the terrain to avoid being shot at.
Kaho was concerned about his safety and unleashed a furious barrage with her laser sniper rifle. While under pressure, her accuracy was much higher than would normally be possible. She ensured that none of the enemy team players dared to show themselves.
Seiji used this chance to flank the enemy and begin an unexpected sweeping assault with his laser assault rifle!
This scene was once again displayed on the big screens.
The handsome boy heroically charging towards the enemy formation and ”slaying” two unprepared enemies seemed amazing.
Quite a few spectators felt their blood beginning to boil passionately. It also caused many people to sign up for the laser tag activity.
‘That was an incredibly fun ambush attack!’ Seiji felt extremely satisfied with his own performance, but he also knew that he had been rash, that he shouldn’t have rushed in like that.
But it was just a game, so he wanted to play in a style that was fun for him!
‘Would it have been more immersive if I shouted ‘Justice rains from above’ or ‘It’s high noon?’’ Seiji wondered to himself.
Seiji rejoined Kaho as he thought these things. They retreated back to their original positions to continue battling.
The Red Team, now at a serious disadvantage, did their best to counterattack, but they were unable to overturn the situation.
The Blue Team achieved victory!
”We won,” said Seiji.
”And all six of us lived!” added Chiaki.
”But the battle has only just begun,” said Saki calmly.
A moment of silence fell between them. Every member of Seiji’s team turned to look at the editor, who had said such a classical line.
Saki’s face reddened slightly from receiving all this attention, and she averted her gaze.
‘Editor Yoshizawa has a secret chuunibyou side to her…’ Seiji smiled and shot her a warm glance.
During the preparation time for the second round, the other participants started chatting with Seiji.
Only then did he learn what had happened outside.
His own performance had actually been displayed on the big screens for all the spectators to see… he was so embarrassed!
He felt as if something was itching the inside of his body.
He didn’t particularly hate it, but nor did he like it. It just felt awkward.
His teammates all laughed when they learned about this.
Chiaki chuckled. ”Isn’t it nice to become the action star of a live performance? If you continue to do well, your popularity will enjoy a huge boost~”
”I don’t wanna be that popular,” Seiji responded.
”Hey, boy with ten thousand fans!”
”Please don’t address me like that!”
”Your first target is to increase the number of your fans to one hundred thousand!”
”Stop making it sound like I want to become a popular internet star!”
'Although I have indeed streamed before,' Seiji added in his head.
While he retorted to Chiaki, Seiji approached by various participants. Some people even wanted to join his little team.
Seiji politely rejected all such requests. He felt that it wasn’t wise to allow strangers to join his team.
