Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 77 First Blood ②

No! There is nothing wrong!

Tachibana Shizuka quickly dispelled this unprovoked "pity". It was obvious that Kiichiro Numabuchi was brought here by Conan, the plague god!
If this thing hadn't insisted on following him today, he wouldn't have met Kiichiro Numabuchi.

So the man named Tachibana who is taking Conan to escape at this moment is really a good person with a great conscience!
The moment Kiichiro Numabuchi's identity was confirmed, the long-lost plug-in also joined in the fun and sent its own prompt sound.

Through observation and analysis, you have successfully identified the identity of the lunatic who is hunting you. Facing this second life-or-death crisis since your time traveling across time, you can make the following choices:

① Throw the elementary school student "Edogawa Conan" in your hand as a hidden weapon at the murderer behind you, using the elementary school student's delay to gain a glimmer of hope for yourself. (Choose ① and you will gain "Attribute·Agility +5")
② The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage—abandoning flight and facing the enemy head-on, fighting for survival with supreme courage. (This option is considered "high risk." Choosing ② will grant you "Knowledge: Black Organization Assassination Course - Advanced Edition.")
③ If you catch me, I'll kill you. Regardless of form, use any means to counterattack the winery's failed assassin who's relentlessly pursuing you. (Choosing ③ will grant you "Knowledge: Pistol Defensive Shooting - Advanced Edition")

"Gege Tachibana, hurry! The guy behind us is catching up!" Conan's scream woke up Tachibana Shizuka. Looking at the shooting club that was obviously some distance away in the distance, Tachibana Shizuka gritted his teeth and became fierce.

People must always fight for themselves in their lives.

"Listen up, kid! If you keep running like this, we're both doomed. Now's the time to test your theory."

At this point, Tachibana Shizuka didn't care whether he would get a stitch in the side while talking while running, and just said to Conan quickly:
“If he really only targets those in black, then you’re safe. I’ll throw you down later, and you run to the club!

Get ready, I'll count to 1, 2, 3!"

"Wait, what will you do if I go down?"

"Don't worry about it now! One death is better than two. How can I watch a primary school student like you die in front of me?
Alright—3! "

"Run! Conan, run to the club!"

Tachibana Shizuka skipped steps 1 and 2, threw Conan out with his right hand, and then made a sharp turn without hesitation and rushed into the woods on both sides of the road.

Looking at Kiichiro Numabuchi who decisively gave up Conan and followed him, Shizue Tachibana knew that this man's PTSD was even more serious than Conan's.

Conan watched helplessly as Tachibana Shizuka and Numabuchi Kiichiro ran into the woods one after another, and what echoed in his ears was still Tachibana Shizuka's last words, "Run! Conan, run to the club."

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy. Even your love rival can be considered an enemy.

Tachibana Shizuka is now with Xiaolan every day (going to school and training), and Xiaolan knows best what he is doing.

Could Tachibana Shizuka's fighting ability defeat a knife-wielding assailant now? Excluding the possibility of a sudden breakthrough, Tachibana Shizuka, who hadn't even laid a solid foundation, clearly didn't have the ability.

So in Conan's eyes, Tachibana Shizuka's behavior of throwing him aside and leading the knife-wielding attacker to the grove was tantamount to seeking death.

It just so happened that they had reached a consensus not long ago - they both had opinions about each other, whether it was dislike or hostility.

Even with such a relationship, when facing danger, Tachibana Shizuka still resolutely left the hope of survival to this "elementary school student".

You have to remember that while Conan may appear childish, he and Tachibana Shizuka are actually the same age. If Tachibana Shizuka were to die like this, Conan would feel guilty for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, without his football, Conan can't do anything. His broken leg doesn't allow him to rush into the woods to ambush Kiichirō Numabuchi.

All he could do now was to follow Tachibana Shizuka's instructions and run, run to the club. Only by running to the club could he be saved, and only by running to the club could he find someone to save Tachibana Shizuka.

After all, there is a shooting club far away, and the last thing they lack is people with gun licenses who can carry guns out openly.

so.
"Kudo Shinichi, run faster! If you don't want to leave a lifetime of regrets."
.
After entering the woods, Tachibana Shizuka discovered that Kiichiro Numabuchi behind him seemed to be more excited, and his movements were also faster.

Tachibana Shizuka then remembered that this Kiichiro Numabuchi had lived in the mountains since childhood. He might be more comfortable in the woods than he was. He had simply entered his comfort zone.

As Kiichiro Numabuchi got closer and closer behind him, Shizue Tachibana could even see the perverted smile on Kiichiro Numabuchi's face when he occasionally looked back.

Feeling that they were already deep in the woods, Tachibana Seiji took off his schoolbag while running.

To be honest, running with a schoolbag on your back is not a comfortable choice, but there is no other way, because the thing that Tachibana Shizuka uses to save his life is hidden in the schoolbag.
The pistols that were previously obtained from the "arms dealer" Akemi Miyano were all hidden in holsters on Shizuka Tachibana.

Who knew that something would go wrong today because I didn't carry my gun with me.

Tachibana Shizuka couldn't pull out a gun in front of Conan, not to mention that he couldn't pull a gun out of his schoolbag with one hand.

But now that we have entered the forest, the offensive and defensive situations are different!

Tachibana Shizuka's hand found what he wanted in his schoolbag. He easily took the gun out of the bag, loaded it, and turned off the safety in one go.

Then he threw the schoolbag aside, slowed down and made a sharp turn.

Before Numabuchi Kiichiro could react, Tachibana Shizuka skillfully aimed his rifle. Numabuchi Kiichiro, charging straight at him, seemed like a creature that could only move forward.

Or is it a fixed target that continues to grow in size?

What surprised Tachibana Shizuka was that after seeing him pointing a gun at him, Kiichiro Numabuchi did not become ferocious and try to fight; or he simply fled in panic under the cover of the trees in the woods.

He was actually terrified and began to panic. Not only was he panic-stricken, but he was so nervous that he almost lost his balance and stumbled.

The panicked Kiichiro Numabuchi at this moment was completely different from the vicious murderer just now.

Without any time to think, Tachibana Shizuka pulled the trigger at Kiichiro Numabuchi without hesitation.

The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the forest, and Tachibana Seiji also drew the first drop of blood in his two lifetimes combined.
