Chapter 9

Haruyuki desperately stared at the steel hole with the eight clockwise spirals

Saturday Afternoon 4pm

To defend the Black legion, «Nega Nebulas»’s control of Suginami 3rd area, they were currently in the middle of an official territory battle

The challengers were a Blue, Red, and Purple balanced trio Those were the faces that attacked them a lot recently Which htly piled up losses

The one he eakest against, was the dark red cloak sniper type avatar with the long and large anti- far away from the front line, tremendous powerful bullets were shot with fearsome accuracy in their direction

Of the three people in Nega Nebulas, Kuroyukihime and Takumu are mostly close contact types, so naturally the enehso, since Haruyuki did not have any long range attacks, he must determine the sniper’s position and fly there in the flesh

However in territory battles thus far, while he was closing in, Haruyuki was unable to avoid the enehtly knocked down hting ability to usted at himself

And then right nohile Haruyuki was flying at full speed, he was accurately tracked by the black gunone kilometer ahead

Closing in with a straight line is the sa ‘please shoot me’, so he moved as randomly as possible to escape from the eneround However, with soe caliber rifle continued to track Haruyuki fro distance without any delay

‘- When will it fire Now? Next?’

In his viehile he passed by at high speed, on street buildings here and there, were shapes of the gallery Right after his debut, being the owner of the one and only «Flight Ability», Haruyuki was very active, but methods to attack him were analyzed, so now he htly shot down If the gallery was disappointed with that - it ht have been better Recently whenever he passed the at hiot hot

Also, in the battle field behind hi with their close co at him? Will he be able to take care of the sniper today, or do they have to follow up after his

‘- When will you shoot? Hurry and shoot So I can be released from this heavy pressure’

Unknowingly, for Haruyuki ent straight into the defeated mode -

His eyes opened wide suddenly

This is just a repeat of the previous week Had he not learnt anything?

Of course, he did not beco, he would not be suddenly able to dodge that bullet

But, he could change his awareness at anytime

‘I aallery Not to be recognized by Takumu, or be praised by Kuroyukihime’

It’s for hiht self that he hated, he wanted to fight so that he liked himself a little better than yesterday

Then -

“Don’t run away!!”

He scolded hiain

Don’t look at the gun muzzle That anti-materiel rifle is not the enemy

The one who laid flat, that avatar whose finger is on the trigger The one whoout intention for shooting - feel it!

Haruyuki wrung all his concentration to look away froht eye that looked through the scope

Then, soht movement from the enemy

Right after that, an orange flash shone fro bullet was shot from the rifle’s jaw

Before he could deterle changed slightly, and his body tilted With a ‘Gyan!’ sound, the bullet left a shallow gouge on his right chest, and flew behind him

15 seconds later, before the ene the bolt handle on the rifle, Haruyuki hit his jaith a punch

“Oi, you ed to avoid that!”

At the moment he returned to the real world, his back was knocked on so Haruyuki jumped up from his chair

Turning around, he saw the Burst Out one step ahead - Kuroyukihi face

In the lounge next to Umesato middle school’s cafeteria, they were at their normal table deep inside Since it was a late Saturday afternoon, there wasn’t a sign of any other students, including Takumu, as he dived from the roof

“Ah, yes that, probably once in a while”

After he shrunk his head and said so, she showed him a face of relief

“It’s not once in a while That was perfect ti Did you see some kind of cue ahead in time?”

To Kuroyukihime who leaned her waist on the table and looked down at him, Haruyuki mumbled ‘that, that is’ as he answered

“Cue if you put it that way souy’s scope instead of the gun ed on reaction, so like that”

After he mumbled that out, Kuroyukihime raised one eyebrow sharply

“Hoo? Nn I see, I got it so it’s like that”

“Wh, what do you get?”

“No, for that sniper No ood probably, he has an ability that can be said to be «Gaze Sensing»”

Haruyuki blinked, and asked in return

“G, gaze sensing?”

“Uun »”

“Huh!? Th that un muzzle and was shot down, is that what it means?”

“That is what it means”

“No no way”

He dropped his jaw in shock, and slid down on his chair, as Kuroyukihihed with ‘Fufufu’

“Don’t be so depressed Even with that trick, you dodged that bullet with that kind of speed, it’s a tribute to your efforts In just this one month, your reaction speed went up soin secret right?”

“Ah you knew?”

In front of Haruyuki who cowered, Kuroyukihis, then her neat and wisdom filled beautiful face showed a smile

“Of course I a did you do?”

“Th that is, well”

Haruyuki explained the training room that he made from his idea

Then

With a ‘Gochin!’ sound, his head was knocked on, and a scream came from Haruyuki

“Higii!?”

“A ar, are you an idiot!? Frounman!? And furthermore with pain sensation set to maximum!?”

Kuroyukihiht fist shook, but -

She saw Haruyuki with tears frozen in both eyes, and she blew out a long breath, then suddenly hugged his head with both hands

“Wa, waa!? Se, senpai, ha”

When he alh the school unifored and calm voice echoed from above his head

“I told you right? Nowill be harmed Believe it This is an order”

“Y, yes”

Seeing Haruyuki relax and nod, Kuroyukihime left his head and smiled

“I will tell you now, the reason for accepting the Red King’s request this ti is not everything, I also thought of it like that That’s why, don’t be too unreasonable Becoer bit by bit that way, I will be happy too Then, it’s about tio home”

Haruyuki looked at Kuroyukihiave another deep nod

And then he could not make a sound, so murmured only in his mouth

“Me too Me too, no matter what happens I won’t hurt you a second time”

“Nn? Did you say so?”

To Kuroyukihi hair swayed, Haruyuki hurriedly shook his head

“N no, nothing!”

Then he stood up fro, and also upperclassman and beloved person

After he opened his apartment home door, the air that still had a bit of sweet smell covered Haruyuki

The dim hall that returned only silence, was a faave hiht was just for two nights, but that experience will not be forgotten for a long time

“I am home”

He murmured that and took off his shoes, then Haruyuki continued to the e room and opened the door
