7th Division C-Class Hero Club (4)

『Secret number』 used by No. 13.

That was the chain anchor he had pulled out of thin air a moment ago, and it was part of the ability he received from the constellation.

It's not like his abilities or his magical power have come back.

No matter how much I call and pray in my heart, the constellations still have no answer and are quiet.

Nevertheless, it could be said that it was thanks to Spade that he was able to use that ability.

After mating with Spade previously, it was thanks to some of her magic flowing into Number 13.

'I'm not sure about the cause.'

As far as he knows, the only person who became awakened in a man's body in the first place is No. 13 himself.

So there can be no precedent until now.

Number 13 has never had sex with an awakened person before, so this is his first experience.

The exact reason may require a little more research, but anyway.

In this way, he was barely able to use some of his original abilities.

That's because the magic power I received from Spade was only a very small amount.

I already used up almost all of it a little while ago.

ha… ha… ha… !

Huh... Huh... Huh... !

"Poetry, No. 13… Now, sleep… Hehe… Hehe… !"

"… … "Dorothy, I told you to do some exercise."

"eww… Ugh~~~~~… !"

It's not like I'm going up the stairs, I'm just running down the stairs, but I somehow manage to support and lead Dorothy who is having a hard time.

The two managed to avoid the hero and arrived at the underground parking lot.

This large shopping mall has 5 floors of underground parking, so even if you realize that you have escaped into the parking lot, you will not be able to find out your location right away.

This bought me some time.

"Huh… Phew… … … "Now, what are you going to do?"

"… What should I do? "I guess I should contact the staff first, right?"

"That's all there is to it. wait a minute."

Number 13's smartphone was dropped during the first shooting at the club.

That smartphone also contains what could be considered confidential data from the [Abyss]... .

I'll have to think about that later.

For now, avoiding this situation comes first.

Once you contact the staff, you will be able to escape... I thought about it, but

Dorothy took out her smartphone from her pocket and frowned as if something was wrong.

When she looked at the smartphone she held out, there was a messy crack in the exact center of the pitch-black screen.

Even if I press the power button, all I get is a broken screen that I can't figure out what's going on.

"I guess I got hit over my clothes without me knowing. Or maybe he bumped into something when he landed."

"It's ruined."

"I was only planning to come back after eating dessert, so I didn't bring any special utensils… ."

"Hey, even though he's a villain, he should at least carry some self-defense tools with him. Without tools, Dorothy is just an ordinary cute and smart girl."

"You're so calm in this situation… ? Just like before, if you become serious, is there a disease that will kill you?"

Dorothy searched her pockets with a sigh and lifted her skirt.

There was a small pistol attached to her belt under her skirt, just enough to show her panties.

Would something like this be a match for a hero?

Each person feels like a tank.

"The only thing that can be used as a weapon is this and a simple flash bomb... Other than that, simple tools for hacking… ."

"What can you do with a simple tool?"

"I can at least steal a car."

"… Okay, let's be tough for now."

"Do you have a driver's license?"

"What kind of driver's license is a villain?"

"… … ."

"… I know how to put it in gear. "And how to turn the steering wheel."

When I asked him what was the accelerator and what was the brake, No. 13 gave a vague answer.

"No, it's okay. "I've driven a lot."

I'm really anxious... I can't help it.

Dorothy handed Number 13 a pistol and immediately began looking for a type of car that could be hacked.

Even if they ran to the parking lot, there would be no way out if the hero reacted quickly and the shopping mall was sealed off.

So what we need now is speed anyway.

We need to steal a car as quickly as possible and get out of here.

* * *

"… Oh wow, this is kinda awesome, isn't it? "Do foreign cars really feel different?"

Dorothy's job didn't take long, and the luxurious-looking foreign car was taken away in just a few minutes.

When I opened the door and went inside, I felt something was completely different in the interior, as if it was indeed an expensive car.

I feel sorry for the owner who lost the car... I'd say that person was unlucky because he was caught by a villain.

'… Still, I'm sorry. Let's just run away and leave the car behind. 'I'll figure it out later.'

"What are you doing? "Let's leave quickly!"

"okay okay. "You must fasten your seat belt tightly."

I rattled the gears and turned the steering wheel to check the feel of my hands.

Perhaps thanks to Dorothy's hacking, the car starts without having to insert the key.

Let's see… I think this is the break... So is this Excel? .

"Okay, then let's go!"

"I feel somewhat uneasy… ."

No. 13 held the steering wheel with a confident attitude while encouraging Dorothy, who was anxious.

I pressed my foot firmly on the accelerator.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Indeed, it is a luxurious foreign car.

The car quickly picked up speed and started off despite No. 13's reckless driving.

"uh… … … … … ?"

"Hey, hey, hey, number 13oooooo?!"

Kkkkkkk!!

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!

――And then, he ran straight into the pillar in front of him.

――I was hit hard like that.

* * *

The two people barely escaped with a whimper from the airbag that exploded instantly when the front bonnet was crushed.

It seemed like the broken car could no longer be used, so No. 13 just felt sorry and expressed his deepest condolences to the unknown owner of the car.

"Please do it in moderation, No. 13!!! "They said you know how to drive!!!"

"That's strange. "I'm really good at Kart○Ether."

"… … … !"

"Even in the arcade… I shot perfect a few times... "It's strange."

"… … … !!!!"

Dorothy had a fit, pounding on the wall of the broken car.

Hahaha, Dorothy is very angry. Are you lacking calcium? In times like that, it's good to eat a lot of anchovies, Dorothy.

When I gave him that advice, he got angry and started swearing.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I know that too.

"That's enough tea! "Let's just run and run away!"

"With your poor physical strength?"

"It's 100 times better than dying in a car accident while I let you drive!"

"okay okay. Still, let's try one more time. huh? They say that everything in life is a three-stage process. "Have you figured it out now?"

"You can try as much as you want, but you only have one life, right?"

Rather than that, too much time was wasted.

One car was half-abandoned, but it was fortunate that no one else came and there was no commotion, perhaps because it was in the lowest parking lot.

… It looks like the car is starting to catch fire... ?

Will this explode... ?

As I slowly took a step back feeling anxious, I suddenly heard a sound at my feet.

Nya~~~ong

"… … cat?"

What you see at your feet is a black cat that looks somehow smart.

The way his ears perk up and the way he looks with wide eyes at the foreign car that No. 13 has crashed into and is starting to emit smoke and fire is very lovely and cute.

Why is there a cat in the parking lot? ?

There are cars here, so it's dangerous.

"What are you doing No. 13? "I need to think of a way to escape quickly."

Dorothy calls as if urging.

I was worried about the cat, but I couldn't afford to take care of it in the current situation, so I decided to ignore it for now.

Even though there is nothing in particular to give, the cat just sits quietly at my feet, looking up at me.

"I see… "This has happened. Shouldn't I just run away?"

"what?"

"Rather, at this point, even the hero might think we've run away. … "First, hide somewhere or hide among the crowd."

"… … indeed. I understand."

And if the situation arises, you can act separately from Dorothy and send her alone first.

Dorothy may not even be a wanted person, and only the club knows her face.

The club alone wouldn't be able to rip off every single person in this department store, so Dorothy alone might be able to break through surveillance and escape even if it were blockaded.

It must have been seen on surveillance cameras that he came down to the underground parking lot, so he must have fled in some kind of car... It would also be possible to make people think like this.

"Then, first--"

Anyway, it's time. Time is running out, and you have to avoid the surveillance cameras and go upstairs where there will be a lot of people again.

So, I'm thinking about my next move and discussing it with Dorothy.

Suddenly, Dorothy's eyes opened wide.

"No. 13!"

Piing--!

It was almost at the same time that Dorothy's cry and that familiar booming sound were heard.

What is flying is a familiar silver bullet. It was fired at an incredible speed, no different from a real gun.

Pow!

The next moment, No. 13 was hit squarely in the temple.

With a painful groan, he fell down helplessly.

* * *

Step by step… Step by step… Step by step…

"… Oh, you didn't run away alone? "On the topic of villains, are you saying you can't abandon your colleagues?"

Underground parking lot located on the lowest floor of the shopping mall.

The tragedy that occurred at the hands of No. 13 a moment ago is still left unattended, with No. 13 falling nearby and Dorothy hugging and supporting No. 13... The hero who was chasing the two was approaching, making the sound of his footsteps.

C-class hero club of the 7th division.

We found and intercepted the two people a little while ago, and had no choice but to miss them due to No. 13's base.

Nevertheless, it didn't give up and quickly followed behind, and just now reached it.

At the place we arrived, near Dorothy, who was sitting down with No. 13 in her arms, the cat from earlier was still meowing with eyes that seemed to see something strange.

"you… hero."

"Judging by your attitude, does that mean you are also a villain? I don't think it was just an ordinary person who got caught up. Is that right? If you're an ordinary person, it's a bit uncomfortable to touch it. "Just call him a villain."

--Do not be ridiculous.

Dorothy gritted her teeth at the club's sly attitude.

From the beginning, it was clear that the club had no intention of caring whether Dorothy was an ordinary person or a villain.

It was the same when I first 'sniped', and it was also the same with the coin that was shot a little while ago.

Everything... The shot was aimed at one person, Dorothy.

No. 13, who had just fallen, was hit by a coin bullet aimed at Dorothy from his blind spot by hugging her to protect her.

Perhaps the club doesn't care whether Dorothy is a regular person or not.

They probably just deliberately targeted her because they thought she would be valuable as a hostage that No. 13 was trying to protect.

As a result, No. 13 fell down after being hit by a bullet that he would have been able to avoid if he had been alone, so in a way, it can be said that the club's intention was fulfilled.

Even from the villain's point of view, it was a very vicious method.

"What a trashy woman… !"

Dorothy forgot her social phobia and spoke with a grim face and a snarl.

The club met that murderous gaze and smiled as if they were happy.
