115 – Akira Shiraishi. Lady of eternity.
Is this the end of my role?
I thought as I looked at Elena, who was standing with her back to the entrance of the warehouse with blurred vision.
She looked at Elena, who was calmly standing against the screaming men, and wondered if she would be able to subdue them on her own… She didn’t worry about that.
The skirt of the maid uniform fluttered, and the next moment a gunshot rang out.
The men stopped right in front of her and stared at her.
Elena raised her pistol and aimed it.
“Hey…… hehehe… !”
Toward Ryosuke.
The bullet she fired narrowly grazed Ryosuke’s wrist as he tried to reach for Shiraishi, tearing only her collar.
“If you put that dirty hand on the young lady….”
She said, blowing out the smoke from the muzzle.
“Next time I will fit that arm. “No further warnings.”
Before the tense atmosphere surrounding her could continue as she aimed her pistol, a man was kicked by her senior’s high outstretched foot.
They were not at all wary of female students wearing school uniforms.
While she was distracted by Elena holding her gun, a senior ran towards her like lightning and kicked one of them, sending him flying far away.
The man who hit the wall was crushed by a pile of materials, and Elena rushed in and grabbed one of the men’s arms and carried him away.
After crushing the abdomen of the man who was lying on the floor and coughing with the heel of his boot, he took out his triple pole from under his skirt and stretched it out.
All of that happened in less than thirty seconds.
I was shocked and trembled as I watched my senior climb on top of the man he had knocked down and repeatedly swing his fists, turning his face into a mess.
Can we say it’s like a street fight?
I was surprised to see him defeating the soccer team members by himself, but his senior had no skills in fighting.
She, she, she has no experience learning martial arts.
The attack continues with recklessness and she moves solely based on her instincts.
She grabs the man’s neck with both hands and squeezes it with all her might, and when the man lunges at her from behind, she lightly dodges the man’s neck and stabs him in the eye.
Should we say that it is a fight between beasts, the exact opposite of the nickname of the school prince?
Elena did not fire her gun.
That was because there was no need to shoot.
She raised her truncheon and struck the man in the side, then bent her waist to avoid the swinging iron pipe.
He slashed his shoulder and swung the baton several times at the man who was sitting down.
Screams rang out and violent explosions were heard everywhere.
As I was watching the maid and female senior easily defeating several men, I started laughing.
When I turned my gaze, I saw Ryosuke sitting down, trembling and watching.
Perhaps she was so frightened by Elena’s single bullet that she couldn’t move even a single step.
There is only one mask left.
With Elena and her senior on both sides, she was cornered and begging for her life.
“Is it you?”
The senior ignored such appeals and asked coldly.
“Who is the man who hurt Manager?”
The man shook his head and pointed at Ryosuke.
The man, who had been kicked out without any reward for his hard work, fell down on the spot without even making a sound.
The senior looked back at Ryosuke as if he had decided on the next target.
“Ah…… “Ugh!”
Ryosuke, who noticed that she was killing him, got up and ran towards her entrance.
With the ensuing gunfire, I fell to the spot and became trembling.
Elena, holding her pistol, spoke calmly.
“Don’t move. “Because you have a punishment to pay.”
The time spent discussing the operation was so long, but was it over in an instant?
Feeling relieved now, I looked at Elena and her senior who were standing far away.
There were several fallen men around him.
One… two… three… I counted the number of masks.
I knew the number of men I kidnapped, including Ryosuke.
***
The first priority is to check the young lady’s condition.
The operation was successfully completed, and the police were on their way to this location.
They were not very trustworthy, so they were looking for a way to identify the kidnappers and destroy them.
This time, he survived with the help of a boy.
Eri Takase’s assistance was also quite helpful.
She was reluctant to use violence, but when she explained that she was involving a boy in this operation, she immediately accepted.
Now, all they have to do is resolve the trouble between the Kitagawa family and mediate between the young lady and the master using the evidence obtained by the captured group, Ryosuke, and the boy themselves.
I was thinking so.
“…… “Don’t move!”
The moment I thought everything was over, the hidden mask suddenly popped out.
“If you take even one step from there, this year will be over!”
The man who appeared from behind the pillar took the young lady hostage and shouted.
“Eh, Elena… !”
A girl with a knife pointed at her neck was struggling in the man’s arms.
Takase stopped and glanced at me.
“I can subdue it.”
“…… “You must not cause even a single injury to the young lady.”
“Even though Manager is so injured?”
“……… ….”
I knew what she was talking about.
He was reprimanding me for putting the manager in great danger for the purpose of the operation.
She participated in this operation ‘to prevent the boy from getting hurt.’
I also persuaded Takase in that way.
“…… I will apologize later. However, I want to protect the young lady.”
“……… ….”
“Please. “Mr. Takase.”
“……… Sheesh.”
She clicked her tongue and glared at her captor with a cold expression that was not visible to the students at the academy or her friends.
“Stay still! “Put down all your weapons!”
The first priority was to calm the excited person down.
Rescuing the young lady comes next.
I lifted my skirt.
She dropped all her hidden weapons on the floor.
“…… “This is it.”
“Step back! “Go over there!”
He scolded as he moved towards the entrance, as if he was planning to run away.
The captured girl could not say anything more and was sobbing.
If the police arrive in this situation, there is no telling what the cornered hostage taker will do.
Before that, I had to rescue the young lady.
“Okay. Go a little further. Okay.”
Looking at this person retreating, the man quietly took a step back.
Eventually, the man nearing the entrance gave strength to the arm holding the young lady.
“…… Please let go now.”
“Who knows how to do that!”
The man raised the knife.
“Since I’ve been treated like this, I need to get hit too!”
Takase runs into the screaming girl. And I reached out for his hand.
The momentary hostage situation finally ended.
By a boy who hit him on the head with a pipe from behind.
“Whoa…” … ….”
The hostage taker collapsed and the pipe he had thrown fell to the floor.
The boy let out a long breath and staggered towards the young lady.
The boy smiled as he held out his hand to her as she fell.
“Shiraishi… are you okay?”
The boy was gently stroking her head as if to reassure her, and blood was flowing down her forehead.
The torn shirt and pants were all stained red.
“Ah…… Ah… ….”
The young lady, who was looking at the face with her eyes wide open, soon fainted.
“Shi, Shiraishi!”
“…… It’s okay. “I just fainted from mental shock.”
“……… ….”
“The boy should worry about himself first.”
Helps and lifts the fallen girl. At that moment, a siren was heard outside the warehouse.
“Mr. Elena….”
I turned around and saw him.
The boy spoke to me as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
“Thank you.”
“……… ….”
You… ….
There was a short silence between me, who couldn’t answer anything, and the boy who was looking at me.
Soon, Takase came running to catch the boy who had fallen.
The police swarmed in and caught Kitagawa and began to clean up the place.
In this way, the kidnapping story surrounding the young lady came to an end.
***
When I opened my eyes, I saw Haruna peeling apples by the bed.
From noble mtl dot com
She was quietly cutting her fruit with her head down, as if she hadn’t seen me with her eyes open yet.
She wanted to say something, but strong water poured down on her head.
After falling asleep, unable to bear the overwhelming drowsiness.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the back of someone changing the water in a vase.
That was probably Takase-senpai.
However, sleepiness came over me without fail and I closed my eyes again.
And the next moment.
When I opened my eyes, I could hear sobbing right below me.
I looked down and saw Shiraishi.
No matter how long I had been sleeping, I no longer felt sleepy.
Looking at the ceiling and the surrounding scenery, it seemed like it was a hospital.
I see. I was hospitalized.
Well, I expected at least some ribs to be broken.
I was able to get up now that my mind was gradually clearing up, but Shiraishi, who was lying on top of me, was sobbing loudly, so I hesitated to talk to him.
I should just sleep.
As I was listening to Shiraishi cry with my eyes closed, I heard a small voice from behind.
The conversation continued intermittently and eventually ended with Shiraishi standing up and leaving the hospital room.
…… How long do I have to pretend to sleep?
“The lady was away for a while.”
“……… ….”
“You can open your eyes now, boy.”
You can’t fool Elena.
She slowly opened her eyes and I glanced at her.
She was still expressionless and looking down at me calmly.
“…… A few days have passed since then.”
Getting up, I rubbed the back of my head.
“…… Has it already happened like that?”
Bandages were wrapped around the body.
“Miss Haruna came to visit us every day after school.”
“…… Is that so.”
When I turned my gaze, I saw a bowl of fruit on the table.
Cute pieces carved into the shape of rabbits.
“And Takase-sama.”
There was a pretty vase next to it.
“And today is my first time visiting you in the hospital.”
“That’s too much.”
He laughed and joked.
“Of course, the reason was because I harbored so much guilt.”
“……… ….”
“I feel guilty that I put the boy in this situation.”
“…… There’s no need for that….”
I wanted to reject such shaky feelings, but I soon stopped saying what I was going to say.
Shiraishi said he didn’t want to cause me any more trouble.
It is possible to harbor such feelings.
That was a problem that needed to be resolved by slowly sharing her story with her.
“The lady owes the boy a great debt.”
“…… “I said no.”
“And me too.”
Elena took a step back from her seat.
She then raised both ends of her skirt and slightly lowered her head.
“I will definitely repay this favor…” “I swear to you here.”
“No, over there…” .”
While Elena was struggling to see her head down, the door to her hospital room burst open.
The person who appeared was Shiraishi.
“…………….”
She blinked her red eyes and looked at me blankly.
“Ah…… Hi. “Shiraishi.”
“……… ….”
“It’s been a while.”
She said she had been lying down for several days.
The moment she raised her hand in greeting, Shiraishi stretched out her arms and embraced me.
“Mr. Minsu!!!!!”
Wow.
His ribs… Shoulders.
“Shiraishi… Calm down, calm down.”
Enduring her pain, I pushed away her head.
Without wiping away her tears, Shiraishi was once again looking at me with tearful eyes.
“Wait a minute… wait for a sec… !”
“……… ….”
As she blinked her eyes, tears ran down her cheeks.
“…… Ha, one thing…… “You promised, right?”
Was that not a promise but just my own one-sided resolution?
“Yes?”
Shiraishi also had a puzzled expression, as if he couldn’t remember it right away.
“When all the problems are solved.”
“Ah……….”
“Please don’t leave.”
At that time, I was stabbed in the back and kidnapped without any time to get Shiraishi’s approval.
So, we didn’t make a promise.
No way, Shiraishi is already ready to leave.
He said he never made such a promise and immediately broke up with us.
Maybe that’s not the case… ? And when I looked at her and looked at her.
“……… “Of course!!”
Shiraishi shouted again and was hugged by me.
Wow.
Pain in my side again.
“I will be by your side for the rest of my life! I will never be separated from you… !!”
Shiraishi, who had been shouting while hugging me and rubbing her face, looked up at me.
“…… “I swear!!”
