7th Division C-Class Hero Club (3)

gulp…

A heavy drool went down my throat.

Wow, you sure didn't get caught, right?

"… … Poetry, No. 13… ? I think we just briefly made eye contact... ."

"Dorothy, if it were you, it would be okay since you didn't even sell your face. … Don't be too nervous. If you're nervous, hold my hand... . No, hold on. Let's pretend to be a couple... ."

What appeared at the store where No. 13 and Dorothy were located was undoubtedly the 7th Division's hero club.

Even if you're a hero, you probably don't know all the villains, and if you come to a dessert shop like this, it means you're off duty, so you'll probably be relaxed... While persuading myself as much as possible.

The two immediately left the dessert shop without being noticed by the club.

Because the entrance was narrow, I had no choice but to pass by it, but I decided it would be better than encountering it inside.

Excited, Excited...

'It's not good for the heart…' .'

I walk through the shopping mall floor, pretending to walk as evenly as possible, not too fast or too slow.

With the smartphone I naturally took out so as not to raise suspicion, I quickly contacted my staff... .

"No. 13? No. 13… ."

"It's okay, Dorothy. It's okay--bow your head!"

Piing―――!

Let's throw away the smartphone and forcefully lower Dorothy's head by holding it.

Above it, something sparkling passed with a piercing sound that tore through the air.

Thump, pound, pound, pound!

My heart is beating more frantically than ever before.

When I turned around, I saw the ribbon-haired hero glaring at me with wide-open eyes like an owl.

The ribbon-haired hero――the club had clearly captured the two people.

The shiny 500 won coin in that hand was placed on the thumb that was held tightly, aiming precisely at the two people.

That is the 'loaded' attitude of the club.

Coins are bullets.

The hand held out in a straight line is both a gun and a metal bar.

"why… ."

Club opened his eyes fiercely, gritted his teeth and tightened his fingers.

And, injection.

"Why is the villain in a place like this?!"

Piiiiiiiing――!

Snapped fingers. The silver stem extending from there is number 13,

To be precise, it was fired at Dorothy in his arms.

"Dorothy!!"

"Uh, wow?!"

He hugged Dorothy, jumped over the railing, and launched himself into the open space in the center of the shopping mall.

A silver coin bullet barely passes behind the head.

'It's dangerous!'

Coins were avoided. But it's still dangerous.

"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!"

Dorothy, hugged by her side, screamed.

It was worth it since I was suddenly thrown into the air.

Even though she was an awakened person, Dorothy had ordinary physical abilities, so she would not be used to this type of acrobat.

People riding the escalator and people on the same floor who noticed the commotion are staring blankly in this direction.

Although it has attracted attention in many ways, there is no time to worry about such things.

Just like Dorothy, who has ordinary physical abilities even though she is an awakened person.

No. 13: Although he is an awakened person, he has now lost his powers.

Normally, I would fall like this and fall to my death, or at best, I would end up broken in a few places and rolling around on the floor awkwardly.

――Originally, it should have been that way.

"Be careful not to bite your tongue, Dorothy!"

That's why I take out the "treasure number" I've been saving up.

"[Come out]!"

Near No. 13, near the right hand that was not holding Dorothy, ripples appeared as if on the surface of the water.

Chuwaaaa!

Next, in the empty space where there was nothing, in the space where ripples were occurring.

It appeared as if something was popping out.

What appeared was a heavy chain that felt somewhat old and worn.

Should I call it a chain?

Looking at the decoration on the end, although it is strangely small, it is definitely an "anchor" used for anchoring ships, and anyone who sees it will probably think that it is.

Chrrrrrr!!

Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

The chain anchor swung gracefully in the air, dragging its tail.

The anchor flew in with a heavy metal sound and was fixed by tightly wrapping around the pillar on the opposite side, and No. 13 wrapped the other end around his arm.

I surrendered my body by putting my weight on it as if I was pulling a chain.

'The girl below… !'

"Huh… !"

Chrrrrrrrr!!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

Like a pendulum.

Holding tightly to the chain anchor fixed to the opposite pillar, No. 13 and the body of Dorothy in his arms flew in an arc.

The target is a play area for young children a few floors below.

Under the slide, on the soft cushions placed to keep children safe even if they fall.

Tuwaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

――I threw myself down and landed safely.

"Oh, my gosh… ."

"Huh, ha… ! Dorothy, are you okay? "What if you're hurt?"

"I feel sick… I'm dizzy... ."

"You're not hurt anywhere! "Thank goodness!"

It was fortunate that there weren't many kids in this play area.

There was no need to get anyone involved, but two children playing just across from this cushion were staring blankly as if they were surprised.

I'm sorry for surprising you.

『Wow, that's cool… .』

『Ta, it's Tarzan… .』

"Dorothy? Did you hear? "They say I'm cool."

"Noisy! Something like that now... come!!!"

Dorothy gave Number 13 an urgent peck and pointed behind her.

The direction Dorothy's finger pointed.

There, with his body half draped on the railing of the top floor where the two had been a moment ago, there was a hero looking down fiercely.

A jingling, jingling sound is heard.

Something shiny is thrown out of her swinging hand and flying through the air.

Each and every one of them is a 500 won coin.

Instant bullets favored by clubs.

'uh… .'

A bunch of coins flying recklessly through the air like a rain of stars.

The coins that were falling chaotically while flying through the air stopped all at once, as if they had been caught by something.

And then, all the coins flew towards the two people at once.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

"Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!"

Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Swinging the chain anchor still wrapped around his arm and rolling it into a circle, he jumped into the hallway.

A few coins hit the long, heavy chain and flew off their tracks, but before they could stop the barrage of coins, they came flying with the momentum to pierce No. 13 and Dorothy.

Quick! Kaaaang!

Wow! Janggraang!

The coin aimed at the leg struck the floor with a crack, and the coin aimed at the head narrowly passed by No. 13's ear and landed on a nearby glass wall.

How many coins dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge... !

Pow!

"ugh… Ugh… !!!"

In the end, I couldn't dodge them all, so I got hit once.

With a face red from tension, a painful breath comes out.

"No. 13?!"

"Fine… ah… !!"

Running with Dorothy in his arms like a princess, No. 13 endured the pain and answered.

side. It wasn't a direct hit, but it hit me hard.

Even though it was a coin, if it had been hit properly, it would have had enough force to rupture the internal organs or break something, but he still endured it with evil, bragging to himself that he was a man.

Anyway, only one coin was struck.

All the rest have been avoided, and it will be difficult for even heroes to chase after this.

People around them, who noticed the commotion, didn't bother to come close to No. 13 and Dorothy.

So, now all you have to do is hurry and run away before you are caught up.

"ha… Dorothy, help me open the door. "Because I have no hands left."

"huh… !"

Crunch! Quang!

I barely managed to avoid the club's sniping and bullets.

The two opened the door to the emergency stairs and jumped inside.

* * *

'Did I miss it…? !'

"Fucking shit… !"

Club, who had leaned out enough to not be surprised if he fell off the railing, frowned, showing his displeasure.

As expected, shooting multiple coins has a low accuracy rate.

However, if you fire one bullet at a time, there is a delay until the next bullet is fired... .

No, rather than that.

'also… It was number 13… .'

The two people from a little while ago... One of them was clearly number 13 of the villain organization [Abyss].

She does not easily forget the faces of people once she has memorized them, and due to the nature of her ability, she has the habit of naturally seeing the faces of people she passes by in detail.

Even just passing by, I recognized it right away.

I don't remember the woman he was with, but if he was with a villain, I would have no choice but to see him as a villain.

Even if they are ordinary people, they are treated as villains until they are properly explained...

That was the policy advocated by the Hero Association.

Even so… .

'Why on earth is a villain here…? ?'

A villain appears in a dessert shop in an ordinary shopping mall.

What on earth does it mean and what is the plan?

Were they preparing to carry out some kind of villainous terror attack?

I'm sure he wouldn't have come to a place like this just to eat dessert in peace, even though he was a wanted villain... .

First of all, there is no way to know the villain's intentions right now.

And, in addition, it was impossible to leave the runaway villain unattended.

"Hero! "Everyone, please remain calm and listen!"

Like heroes, the club skillfully shouted out the situation to those around them and gave simple instructions.

Similarly, in the 7th division, the situation was reported to Apple, who happened to be staying in the office, and requested assistance.

The club itself also moved quickly to chase after No. 13.

However, I don't know where No. 13 will run away or what floor it is currently on.

If you try to check the surveillance cameras, you will miss it.

And in the first place, it is obvious that for a club that does not specialize in strengthening the body like Spade, they will not be able to catch up if they just chase after them.

If you continue like this, you will miss out.

It would have been missed, but the club still has an ace up its sleeve.

I hate using it because it's exhausting, but it's an emergency and there's nothing I can do.

...Oh, I really hate it.

'Rather than that, that human being No. 13… According to Senior Spade's report, I'm sure I won't be able to use any power... That thing from a little while ago... .'

There are many things that bother me, and many things that I don't know.

Everything happens once you catch up with No. 13.

"Tsk… … … !"

The club clicked its tongue, raised its magic power, and pulled out its secret weapon.
