Chapter 353: For Everything I Love (1/2)

At last, they reached the building at the back alleyway of the business district. As soon as he got out of the van, Enya walked briskly to the entrance.

“The hell are–ugyahh!”

Taiyou heard a scream. Enya must have attacked someone.

“Now then–”

“Let’s go, Taiyou.”

Akiha was even more ready than Taiyou was, pulling him by the arm as soon as he got out to the vehicle.

“Well aren’t you the eager one.”

“Cause it’s fantastic man!”

“Is it now?”

They entered the building together, noticing the bodies of yakuza lying down along the way like signposts.

“Wow, no mercy.”

The fallen men on the ground groaned as blood flowed from their bodies. Enya must have cut and stabbed them.

“Should we finish them off to be sure?”

“Yeesh, you’re pretty brutal in your own way.”

“Young man, if you let your enemy live, they may very well come back to hurt your loved ones.”

Akiha said in a dramatic voice.

“The heck was that from?”

“Got it from Hera. Did it come from something?”

“You really understand her, I see.”

Taiyou grinned.

Sure, she probably got it slightly off memory-wise, but that was definitely the sort of phrasing that Hera would come up with. Plus this was a very appropriate situation to bring it up.

Contemplating it a moment, Taiyou went up to each of the men and struck their vital points, knocking them out. It wouldn’t have been necessary if it were just him and Enya, but right now Akiha was here too. He didn’t think of her as being anything close to a weak girl, but he didn’t see her as much of a fighter either. It was best to do this.

“Uhh, like this! I guess…”

“What are you doing?”

“Just doing what Taiyou would do! Knockin’ their skulls off.”

“Guhagh…”

The man she had hit groaned, clearly in pain. She hadn’t quite knocked him unconscious, so he was probably in even more pain now.

“Nah, this is how you do it.”

“What?”

Taiyou taught Akiha how to do it properly. After some practice, she finally got the hang of it. All of a sudden she was now a master in hitting vital points.

“Yo, can you do that one thing?”

“What thing?”

“The thing where you chop their neck.”

“Well yeah, sure…”

“Teach me that too!”

“A bit later.”

“Ehhh, why?”

“That’s because you have to first be able to either move really fast or move backward. No point just teaching you the angle and location of the karate chop, right?”

“Ah, you do have a point.”

Akiha easily gave in.

This was a type of building that Taiyou had experienced numerous times: extravagantly long hallways, no windows. It was especially made to slow down attackers.
