Girl and War (1): When the Gun is Aimed at the Sister

"How can you call that a trick?" Ichika raised her weapon with a smile and aimed it at Fumino's front armor. "It's like love, it's all healthy competition."

"You..."

*Bang*

Before Fumino could finish speaking, Ichika pulled the trigger without hesitation. Fortunately, Fumino had prepared her plan well. She turned to the side, and the bullet barely missed her, hitting the trees behind her.

For some reason, at that moment, an idea popped into her head.

(Thank goodness my breasts aren't big, or I'd be dead already...)

Then she mentally slapped herself. What was she thinking? As long as she could make her breasts bigger, she'd show them off even in a hail of bullets!

"Woooooooo..."

There was deep sadness and anger on her face. With the strength of that anger, Fumino raised her hand and quickly returned fire.

*Bang*

Her shot was blocked by a student next to Ichika with cardboard.

"Seems like my fan club is stronger."

Ichika smiled at the guy and looked provocatively at Fumino, raising her eyebrow.

"Why don't you put down your weapon, give us your badge, and write the paper?"

"You're dreaming!"

While Fumino retorted angrily, the Thorn Club members who were guarding her also reacted.

"Guard! Protect Princess Furuhashi!"

Everyone stood firm in front of her and raised their weapons with serious expressions.

Not wanting to be outdone, Ichika's fan club surrounded her and shouted loudly, "Wherever Ichika goes, I remain undefeated!"

Fumino couldn't hold back her laughter. Hearing her laughter, Ichika blushed amidst the crowd.

When the Thorn Club saw this, they immediately became enraged, took a deep breath, and with confident tones, let out a louder roar in the small forest.

"Our text is eternal, and our thorns remain forever!"

"Only Princess Furuhashi will live forever——!!!"

Ichika was momentarily stunned, then she hugged her stomach and laughed out loud.

Fumino covered her face. Even though it was half-hearted, seeing these people shouting this slogan in front of her, and even adding extra lines she had never heard before, made it a thousand times more embarrassing.

Only after the roar subsided did she manage to say, "Fire."

Two calm voices restored order, and one command unleashed a barrage of bullets.

*Bang bang bang bang bang!*

During the five-second shootout, some fell, some still stood, some began guerrilla warfare, and some hid behind trees and started chatting with each other.

"What's the name of your fan base?"

"Ichika the Undefeated... I don't know why they chose that name, but it has a rather artistic flavor."

"Are you really attacking my friends in secret?"

"Yes, but first, everyone knows there's a team specifically targeting individuals. It seems they plan to clear the area. They can't stand it anymore, so they're launching sneak attacks."

"Uh, so it turns out we're the cause? I've always felt sorry... No, then you still say it as if you planned to ambush me!"

"Let's just go with the flow~ It'll make it feel more like a war!"

"You happy monster..."

"Besides, don't you think this is the right way to decide who will be the main wife?"

"M-main wife?! Ichika, you..."

"Even though I didn't get his first kiss, I'll definitely get his virginity, right?"

Gunshots rang out, and bullets whizzed past the tree where Fumino was hiding.

"So, let's duel... Fumino." Ichika said with a smirk.

The sounds of battle not far away seemed to fade, forming a battlefield with only two people.

Although this was an activity, it was no longer a joke.

"..."

Fumino remained silent.

Her gun hung weakly, and she lowered her head, many complicated thoughts crossing her mind.

Finally, she raised the corner of her mouth and rotated her pistol.

*Bang*

The same trajectory, the same point of impact, the bullet passed the tree where Ichika was hiding.

"Exactly right! Actually, I've been wanting to defeat you for a long time, Ichika!"

Fumino's voice rustled the leaves and tree tops. Ichika leaned against the tree trunk, looking up at the sky, and smiled silently.

(Actually, you've won a lot already...)

(The first person she liked was you, and the person she cherished the most was you. Can't you see it?)

(So this time, the one who will never lose is me!)

Ichika took a deep breath, cocked her pistol, and tensed her muscles slightly.

Next moment.

She left her bunker and ran low through the forest.

Almost at the same time, a figure emerged from the big tree across from her, it was Fumino!

Ichika reflexively raised her pistol.

Fumino also reflexively raised her pistol.

They both stopped at the same time and looked at each other in surprise.

Because they were running in opposite directions.

"...Logically, shouldn't they run in the same direction and then shoot while running?"

"How would I know we don't have silent understanding..."

Helplessly complaining, their eyes crossed and their weapons intersected, but they couldn't hold back their laughter.

Whoever was hit by this bullet would be the winner.

If you have confidence, if you don't think your obsession with it will vanish from others.

This gun wouldn't miss.

They both put their index fingers on the triggers, without trembling or mercy, and aimed at each other's left chest.

No matter how strong the friendship, it wouldn't be able to deflect a bullet by a millimeter.

They knew that already, so they smiled at each other and said:

"Goodbye, Ichika."

"Goodbye, Fumino."

Next moment...

*Bang*

*Bang*

Two shots hit their chests, and two bright red flowers bloomed.

"Ugh—"

"How could this be!"

Leaning against the tree trunk, both of their eyes looked unbelieving. Before they could even pull the trigger, the gun slowly fell from their hands and dropped to the ground.

While holding back the pain in their chests (psychological effect), they looked at where the bullets hit, and they couldn't hide their horror.

"It's..."

Long red wine-colored hair, with a star hair accessory on the temple.

"You..."

The girl walked across the battlefield, looking at her embarrassed sister and classmates, and spoke in a calm tone.

"You're too careless."

"If you want to be a hunter, you must have the consciousness of a hunter... Otherwise, you're just prey."

*Bang*

The bullet flying from behind was shot by her.

"Itsuki-chan, you..."

While clutching her ample chest, Ichika writhed and shouted as if she couldn't believe it.

"How could you be so strong!?"

In response, Itsuki sneered with a mocking tone and slowly holstered her weapon.

The emotionless voice seemed to freeze the air around her.

"I'll do anything for cafeteria coupons."

"..."

Ichika was stunned, then lowered her head with a sad expression, biting her trembling lip.

"That's... why you're so cruel that you can even shoot your own sister!?"

Itsuki didn't even look at her, she killed a group of students fighting with a single shot and spoke calmly.

"For weaklings like you, you'd better start writing your paper. Collect those badges for me and place them on the ground. I'll pick them up after I'm done cleaning up."

Seeing her lonely back, Ichika felt powerless and could only sigh sadly: "Before I write the paper, listen to what I have to say."

"What words?"

"I brought your favorite bread here."

"Really?!"

Itsuki immediately turned around, her eyes shining, and there seemed to be drool dripping from the smile on her lips.

And then...

*Bang*

She lowered her head in disbelief, and a bright red flower bloomed on her ample chest.

"Ichika, you conspired against me..."

"To each other."

With a subtle change in expression, Ichika smiled easily and touched her head.

This was one of her fans and friends who had just ambushed beside her. As a dark chess player, he was always ready to assist her with black blows.

Originally intended for Fumino, but in the end, the bullet was given to her younger sister.

Itsuki turned away, looking sad and angry.

"Forget about the sneak attack on me... Is it true about the bread?"

"No, I lied to you."

Seeing her sad expression, Ichika showed a bright smile of joy.

"Let's write the paper together, Itsuki-chan~"

"No~~"

As for Fumino after watching this scene.

To quickly revive and retrieve her badge, she now ran towards the service center.
