2-14: Shame on You! (4/6)

2-14: Shame on You! (4/6)

The boy called everyone out except the girl for being shameless.

He had truly arrived just now, but he could still infer what happened.

The girl who pushed the child out of the way to protect him. The armed criminals. The fleeing customers.

The ugly faces of the terrorists that wielding weapons and acted as if they were right.

The customers fearing the wrong person, their eyes, expression, and their distance.

All of those were enough to figure out happened here.

After all, something similar has happened before in a similar situation.

What are you A customer argued.

T-They had guns. W-We Another customer said.

His words criticized the customers more than the criminals, and the customers made a face that said it wasnt their fault.

Among them, however, was a voice that muttered something different from the rest.

Mom, youre scary.

Huh?

Those people and mom are scary!

That childs voice was the impetus that led other children to begin crying out something similar.

You said violence is bad, so why didnt you stop them!

Dont be like the bad guys!

This place is scary. I dont want to be here.

Mom, youre scary. Those people are scary too.

The desperate cries of their children reminded the adults that they shouldnt be here.

But until the children started desperately talking, none of them realized it.

At least the kids know whats up!

Shinichi scooped the slime on the floor and threw it with an underhand throw.

BUBEH!? Gross! What is this thing!?

That slime landed itself accurately on the face of the woman who had aimed her gun at the customers that were getting rowdy.

You wont be able to move until the pain r!

Out of time. Those words flashed through Shinichis head as he felt someone standing behind him and heard the sound of a gun.

How long are you going to do as you please, bra Huh, gyaah!?

But whether he would give up resisting or not was another story.

Without even turning back, he swept the legs of the person standing behind him, and then he turned around and stomped on the mans face while the man was still surprised.

Tch.

But that was the end. Resisting any further could make things dangerous, as they were now thoroughly out of time. They were completely surrounded by the criminals.

There were still criminals who couldnt move, but with guns aimed at them from every direction, there was now nothing that they could do.

If the criminals were all within an arms reach, then Shinichi might have still been able to do something, but they were too wary of Shinichis martial prowess and have already distanced themselves.

But even then if Shinichi just knew of the weapon known as gun, he wouldve still been able to do something, unfortunately, he didnt know the weapon known as gun.

Of course, as someone who lived in modern Japan, he knew what a gun was.

But knowing what a gun was was different from understanding how to shoot, its recoil, power, bullet speed, and different types.

Those were things that only gun maniacs or military otakus or people with experience shooting guns would know.

As such, since Shinichi had never even seen a gun in person before, they were very much like mythical things to him.

Now that he was currently surrounded by such mythical weapons, his movements were further restricted.

There were also two people behind him, which made things even worse.

O-Oneechan!

Im sorry, I

Shut up. If you talk anymore, Ill throw you out first.

Shinichi yelled as he glared at the criminals surrounding him; especially, at the three men equipped with automatic rifles.

At the same time, he used the map he memorized and considered if he could drop the girl and the boy from the glass-sided part of the building, but he clicked his tongue upon deciding it was impossible.

He could do something about their descent with wind magic and he should be able to fool them somehow, but its too far, and even if he used a violent method, they still wouldnt make it.

All the more so when the people in question was a wounded girl and a child. That kind of method should be left as a last resort.

Does that mean you intend to throw us out first?

The suited man who was likely their leader said in a provoking manner.
