“I understand. I will thoroughly investigate what you said when I get back, Mr. Mahiro. If it is really as you say, then I will not let any evildoer get away with it!”
She said it with absolute certainty.
"Then I'll wait and see?"
Mahiro didn't mean to discourage her.
It's easy to guess what the final outcome will be: with Kikunojo Tendo's interference, the Holy Emperor will not succeed.
This time, it was just a casual chat.
Nothing will change, neither him nor the future of the Tokyo area.
The car approached the intersection and slowly came to a stop at the red light.
A light drizzle started outside, blurring the view from the window.
Just then, Shinji's gaze, which was fixed on the distance, froze slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Here I come..."
"Mr. Masahiro, what's here?"
The Holy Emperor couldn't help but ask, but then she saw Yotsuba Mahiro pull out a strangely shaped pistol from her pocket and point it at the car window...
No, it's pointed out the window!
And at the very end there stood a dark building.
Don't drive.
"Issue gave the order."
As the only personal bodyguard on this mission, he was naturally granted the authority to plan the route and command the driver by the Holy Emperor.
At that very moment, a flash of light appeared and disappeared near the roof of the building.
It was obvious that those were muzzle flashes!
At the same time, a bullet... no, to be precise, a sniper grenade is flying towards us at supersonic speed!
"That's really an exaggeration..."
Mahiro muttered to himself, but a smile crept onto his lips as he pulled the trigger.
Just as the grenade was less than ten meters from the vehicle, it suddenly and mysteriously stopped in mid-air and was broken down into dust the next second.
"Master Zhenxun?!"
Xiaochai realized that someone had launched an assassination attack!
At the same time, Enju woke up from her sleep and looked solemnly in the direction where Mahiro's gun was pointed.
"Xiao Chaoxia and Xiao Yanzhu, take the Holy Emperor out of the car and find cover nearby to keep watch."
Vehicles are too large targets to be used defensively.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mibu Asaka and Aihara Enju each took turns kicking open the car door and pulling the Empress out of the car.
But then, the muzzle flashed again.
And not just once, but five times in a row!
The enemy seemed to have emptied their magazine in one go, with five sniper grenades flying toward them in succession.
Zhenxun instantly deployed the "Connecting Wall Formation" to protect the Holy Emperor and the others.
The grenade struck the square shield and exploded, the resulting blast dispersing the rain. The Holy Emperor quickly pressed her hat down, the scorching air blowing across her cheeks.
She was pale and trembling, clutching the hem of her dress tightly.
Unexpectedly, the other party used explosives to carry out the attack.
If I hadn't hired Shinji, I'm afraid I and the driver would have been blown up.
Not only that, it will also affect pedestrians nearby!
President Qi Wu, why did you go to such lengths?!
The Holy Emperor bit his lower lip tightly, shouting inwardly.
At that moment, Mahiro had already gotten out of the car and was gazing into the distance, staring at the sniper lurking in the darkness.
"Nearly three kilometers...that's a bit exaggerated, Tina."
As if he had heard his whisper, the other party launched another attack.
But this time, it wasn't a sniper grenade, but an anti-tank sniper grenade with armor-piercing capabilities!
Even after replacing the flame suppressor in that short period of time, no flames appeared.
"Master Shinjiro, let me do it!!!"
Before he could activate the Cloud Dispersal and Mist Dissipation, Xiao Chaoxia suddenly stood in front of the Holy Emperor and unleashed the power of the Cursed Child, lightly pressing her thumb against the hilt of her sword while tightly gripping the handle with her right hand.
"Tendo-ryu Drawing Sword Technique, Form 1, Chapter 1—"
"Water freezes instantly!!!"
Clang——
The sound of the blade being drawn rang out, and the sword was swung out with the speed of lightning and thunder, its blade turning into a white light that flashed across the night sky.
The incoming anti-tank sniper bullets were immediately sliced into several pieces and scattered around, embedding themselves in the asphalt road and the walls of the surrounding buildings.
But then another shot was fired.
"Enju-chan!" Mibu Asaka shouted.
"Haaah—!!!"
Yeonju's eyes were also bloodshot. She immediately leaped up and faced the sniper bullet in mid-air.
when--
A burst of tiny sparks erupted in mid-air, followed by a belated, sharp impact.
The girl slid a considerable distance across the ground after landing before regaining her balance.
These kids are so exaggerated...
Even Shinji couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw it; he estimated that even he would have a hard time replicating this fighting style.
Intercepting bullets with a kick in mid-air—even The Matrix wouldn't dare to do something like that.
However, perhaps because of their outrageous behavior, the snipers in the darkness stopped their attack.
The next second, his phone rang.
Upon seeing the number, Makoto couldn't help but smile and answered the call.
"...Hello, is this Mr. Shinjiro?"
"Well, it's me."
"...I am Tina. May I ask where you are? I would like to see you."
"Missed me?" Mahiro's voice carried a hint of teasing.
However, the other party did not respond.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
"..."
Tina stood on the balcony of the mid-floor of the building, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the neon-lit streets in the distance. The rain gradually soaked her dress and her platinum blonde shawl.
Even the anti-materiel sniper rifle placed on the balcony made a hissing sound under the rain.
But she was completely unaware, waiting for a response from the other end of the phone.
Until that familiar voice came through the phone again.
"As for where I am, Tina, you should know very well, right? You should be able to see me clearly with that little thing."
Upon hearing this, Tina's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened slightly.
For some reason, I felt a painful ache in my chest.
She endured it all and replied tremblingly, "You... have you already discovered it was me?"
"Yes, Tina Spoon, IP address 97, codename 'Black Wind,' right?"
"...Then, you must be Mr. Yotsuba Mahiro, IP address 134, codenamed 'Zodiac Killer,' right?"
"Zodiac Killer? Who gave me that codename? How stupid," Shinji muttered to himself.
"Just as I thought..."
Tina ignored her, lowered her head slightly, and her shoulders trembled.
Her world froze.
Even after seeing the images transmitted by Senfield, she still held onto a sliver of hope, since the appearances were somewhat blurry due to the rain, with only the outlines resembling the real figures...
But men of that age, like older brothers, all have similar facial features.
That侥幸 (a sense of luck or chance) has now been completely shattered.
She felt as if her brain was short-circuiting, her rationality and logic were completely destroyed and began to collapse, and her heart became miserable in an instant.
Her legs trembled uncontrollably, and she quickly suppressed the sob that was about to escape her lips.
"Why... since you already knew about me, why did you help me that day...?"
"Why... Let me think... Of course, it's because the dazed little Tina is so cute."
This time, the voice didn't come from the phone, but from beside her!
"Hello, we meet again, little Tina."
Mahiro, sitting on the edge of the balcony, waved to her and said, "As expected, Tina isn't as adorably sleepy at night as she is during the day, but she looks even prettier when she's more energetic."
Tina was startled awake and took several steps back in fright, instinctively pulling out the dagger hidden under her skirt.
But upon seeing that handsome and gentle face, Tina slowly loosened her grip on the dagger, letting it fall to the ground.
"It's impossible to do..."
Logically speaking, although she was ranked within the top 100, she believed that she was no match for the Zodiac Killer in a direct confrontation.
Emotionally, she couldn't bring herself to hurt the older brother who had treated her kindly and lent her his leg to use as a pillow while sleeping.
Not to mention, her vision was blurred with tears at that moment...
No, that must be rainwater. Why am I crying? I should have already cried all my tears long ago.
Although she had accepted that Mahiro was the target her master had ordered her to kill, her hands trembled uncontrollably as she gripped her skirt tightly.
Mahiro watched silently, a satisfied smile on his lips.
Sure enough, I'm a jerk with a twisted sense of humor too...
After a long while, Tina finally stopped trembling and raised her head again.
“Mr. Mahiro... no, Yotsuba Mahiro, I am Tina Spoon, the assassin who is here to kill the Holy Emperor and you. Now... please kill me.”
The girl bit her lip tightly, her face showing an expression that was both like crying and laughing. She pressed her hands against her chest, trying her best to speak in the most stable voice possible.
However, Mahiro tilted his head and stared at her.
"Won't you struggle a little longer? I can give you a chance."
Frankly speaking, if you expose the assassins' true colors, all assassination attempts become meaningless.
Especially someone like Yotsuba Mahiro, who possesses power that Tina can't understand at all.
Not only does it possess the strange power to disintegrate objects, but it also has the ability to see beyond distance, allowing it to discover you from a great distance or even appear in front of you suddenly as if by teleportation.
Faced with such an existence, no matter how much she struggled, it was all in vain.
Tina knew this very well, so she couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "Mr. Mahiro, you really have a perverse love for lolis."
"I've been getting a lot of comments lately, so I'll just take it as a compliment."
Zhenxun smiled slightly.
That being said, Tina did want to try again, so they set the next day for another fight.
