Chapter 330: Third Wheel (1/2)

Objective and Method.

These were the words that governed all of Taiyou’s actions. Once he had an objective firmly in his sights, he would stop at nothing to achieve it. That was the essence of the boy known as Taiyou Natsuno, and every one of his actions revolved around it.

「…」

Now was no different. Having firmly remembered what his objective was, he could now see the next action he should take.

He took a relaxed step.

「Natsuno?」

Kyousuke looked at him puzzledly. Ignoring him, he walked over to the two who were fighting.

Right now was his biggest chance. There was no telling when an opportunity like this would come again if he were to pass up a chance like this.

Thinking that, he clenched his fists as he walked over to them. He could see Shirokiyami’s face. Her expression was twisted, which was quite unusual for her. Doubtless she could guess at why Taiyou was currently walking their way.

Finally, Taiyou jumped and charged forward into the midst of the battle. He then raised his arm—-aiming for Rin.

「Wha-…」

Shirokiyami was surprised. Unaffected, Taiyou launched an attack on Rin.

「Don’t get in my way, punk. I need to put an end to this wench right here.」

「Sorry, but no can do.」

「You insolent brat!」

Rin continued to shoot her gun at Taiyou while backing away. Weaving bullets, frozen bullets, burning bullets, bullets that gave off sound. She fired various types of bullets, but not a single one worked on Taiyou. By the time that she had probably run out of ammo, Taiyou charged forward, unleashing a body blow from his right hand. It was a simple uppercut that gouged into its target, and it was also one of Taiyou’s deadly techniques.

「I’m telling you, that isn’t going to work.」

「Hah-!」

Throwing in some extra moves, Taiyou launched a spinning kick, put both of his arms together for a downward slam, and even attempted to thrust his knee up into her face as she moved backward. Every movement of his flowed without mercy. An average opponent would have easily been sent to the hospital upon receiving such an attack.

However…

「I told you that wouldn’t work!」

Bang bang!

Bullets flew at him. He nullified them, returning the favor with a backhand. It didn’t work. This bizarre bout of bullets and fists did no damage to either side.

However…

「Ack…oi…Rin, give it a rest already.」

Taiyou and Rin had no wounds on either of them, but they heard the anguish of Kyosuke in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he was coughing up blood, more and more beat-up every second.

「Give what a rest, Big Brother?」

「Don’t play dumb with me. All the damage you took goes to me. It hurts like hell. Make it so that you dodge and parry more.」

「It’s fine, Big Brother.」

She said briskly as she reloaded her bullets.

「It doesn’t hurt for me.」

「No frickin’ duh!」

「And a great stream flows from my groin at the thought of seeing Big Brother in distress.」

「Just admit you’re a sadist already!」

「And as I imagine receiving punishment from said big brother, I feel a further flood.」

「Make it clear whether you’re an S or an M!」

「It’s not SM, it’s SN!」

「SN?」

「Sister and Nii-sama.」
