I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 409 You Want to Learn? I'll Teach You (2 Updates)
In the living room of Shimabukuro Kimie's house, Shiraishi E squatted on the floor, taking out the equipment from her travel bag one by one.

Submachine guns, pistols, pistol magazines, grenades, bulletproof vests and other equipment are laid out on the tatami mats.

"You've prepared quite thoroughly." Shiraishi E casually remarked before handing a Glock 17 to Heiji, who took the pistol somewhat slowly due to his shoulder injury.

Heiji fiddled with his Glock, saying excitedly, "That's great! At least we won't be chased all the way here!"

"I'll see if their gun is faster than mine!!"

He now only regrets that he only practiced swordsmanship and didn't spend time practicing spearmanship.

At that moment, Kazuha suddenly stepped forward: "I want to help too!"

She stubbornly stretched out her hand: "Give me a gun."

"No!" Heiji suddenly raised his voice, wincing in pain as he pulled at his wound, and said, "Why would a girl like you get involved in something so dangerous? You should just hide!"

"Why should I?" Kazuha's cheeks flushed red with anger. "I've also practiced shooting, you know!"

"You only practiced with two magazines! What kind of practice is that?" Heiji said, somewhat speechless. "Stop messing things up! It's one thing if you can't hit, but what if you hit both of us?"

"Then we'll die with our eyes open in disgrace!!"

“I’m not that bad!” Kazuha retorted.

Heiji said firmly, "Bullets don't have eyes! If you get hurt, how am I supposed to explain it to Uncle Toyama?"

"You—" Kazuha knew from Heiji's serious expression that there was no way to reason with him.

She could only look to Shiraishi E for help.

While organizing his equipment, the latter said, "Looking at me won't help. This matter has to be decided by Heiji."

"You guys!" Kazuha stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She felt very disappointed, thinking that she was useless and couldn't help at all.

At this moment, Shiraishi E handed over a walkie-talkie and said, "Here's what we'll do! I'll give you an observation job... Go upstairs and scout around. If you spot anyone coming, notify us via walkie-talkie."

"Mmm!!" Upon hearing this, Kazuha eagerly grabbed the walkie-talkie.

As long as it can help!
Heiji wanted to say something after seeing it, but ultimately chose to keep his mouth shut.

After Shiraishi E taught her how to use the walkie-talkie, she packed her travel bag and left Shimabukuro Kimie's house with Heiji, heading towards the shrine.

If a fight were to break out on someone else's property, this place would most likely be destroyed.

On the way to the shrine, Heiji couldn't help but complain, "Kazuha is such an idiot, she's so easy to fool. Doesn't she even use her brain to think about what she can see in this heavy rain?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but give Shiraishi E a thumbs up: "You really have a way with things."

Shiraishi E smiled but didn't say anything.

The two arrived at the shrine gate, smashed the lock with the butt of their guns, and then pushed the door open to enter the shrine.

The shrine is not large, and there is limited space to hide people.

There's nowhere else to hide except behind the altar.

Just as Heiji was about to walk behind the altar, he noticed Shiraishi E taking a few sticks of incense from the side.

"What are you doing?" Heiji stopped and asked in surprise.

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's burning incense." Shiraishi E took out a lighter and lit the incense with a click.

The air was filled with the scent of incense.

"What time is it? You have the mind to burn incense?" Heiji was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that the other party would still be so leisurely at this time.

"We're going to be fighting on someone else's turf later, shouldn't we at least give them a heads-up? Otherwise, it's so rude." Shiraishi E said, handing Heiji a few sticks of incense and asking, "Want some?"

"..." Heiji was speechless, but since the other person had already handed it to him, he felt embarrassed to refuse, so he took it.

Heiji bowed insincerely, offering incense as he said, "I didn't realize you actually believed in gods and ghosts."

If you had a system like me, you'd probably believe it... Shiraishi bowed, greeted the unknown deities along the way, and offered incense, saying, "Anyway, believing in these things won't cost me anything."

“…That makes sense.” Heiji thought it made a lot of sense. After offering incense, the two hid behind the altar and waited patiently.
Listening to the torrential rain outside and the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves.

About ten minutes later, Shiraishi E's ears twitched slightly as she heard the sound of boots splashing in puddles outside the back door.

He said in a low voice, "They're here."

"They're here? I didn't hear anything?" Heiji muttered to himself.

Then, several men in black carrying umbrellas quickly rushed into the shrine gate.

The leader shouted, "Search separately!"

These assassins were unaware that Shiraishi E and her group were armed, and they arrogantly stormed into the shrine with their guns drawn.

The moment they crossed the threshold—

Bang bang bang bang————

Shiraishi E and Heiji emerged from behind the altar at the same time and opened fire together.

The two assassins fell to the ground.

Before his comrades could react, they were hit by a second wave of bullets.

"Damn it, how come they have guns?" the remaining two assassins cursed and immediately turned and ran.

"Don't let them get away!" Heiji got angry as he thought about the grievances he had suffered during this time.

He leaped up and chased after her, completely ignoring his shoulder injury.

"This kid is really reckless!!" Shiraishi E watched Heiji pounce on her like a mad dog, and while impressed, she was also very puzzled as to how someone with his personality could handle the delicate work of a detective.
Just as Heiji was giving chase, the two assassins who had been fleeing suddenly turned around, and flashes of gunfire appeared!

However, Shiraishi's gun was faster than theirs!

Bang! Bang!
The two assassins fell to the ground dead, but they had still pulled the trigger.

The assassin's bullet grazed Heiji's ear and embedded itself in the pillar behind him.

In that instant, Heiji stopped abruptly, his limbs turning icy cold and his entire body stiffening. Just a moment ago, he had truly felt the breath of death.

"How could that be? Isn't it exciting?" Shiraishi E walked up to Heiji and teased him.

"It's...exciting." Heiji snapped out of his daze and scratched his head awkwardly.

He knew that the other person had saved him once again.

If the other side hadn't fired first, the two assassins' bullets might not have missed.

Although he said he was wearing a bulletproof vest, he wasn't wearing one on his head!

If that hit me on the head, I'd be done for.

How many times has this person saved me?
This life-saving grace is something I can never repay in this lifetime.

"That's the thrill you're looking for." Shiraishi E smiled and said, "Remember this feeling, and you won't act impulsively in the future."

"Yes, yes!" Heiji nodded frantically.

After teetering on the brink of death, he instantly became much more docile and dared not act impulsively again.

Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Shiraishi, what do I need to do to become as strong as you?"

"You want to learn?" Shiraishi E looked at Heiji with a playful gaze.

"Yes!" Heiji said without hesitation, "Even if I survive, I'll still have to deal with those bastards! If I don't get stronger, they might trick me and kill me again someday!"

Seeing that Heiji was willing to learn, Shiraishi E said, "Since you want to learn, I'll teach you... It's not that difficult."

"The key to becoming stronger lies in one thing—firepower suppression."
