Chapter 57 - The Beheading of the Lie
It had been Kyoutarou who had spoken just now.
“...If that’s the case, just show us.”
However, Tooru said coldly,
“Look here, I said this before, but do you get the position you’re in? It’s ‘Please show us’, right?”
As he did that, unable to bear it, the man next to Kyoutarou raised his voice.
“It’s fine so why don’t you show us! I’ll kill you!”
“Like I said, do you want to be shot to death? We have a former soldier from the special forces here. If you look down on us too much, he’ll make you unable to say another word with his rifle.”
It was a bluff enough to make those watching nervous.
However, different from an ordinary person, he said it boldly without any hesitation.
It made the obvious lie seem like the truth.
It was nothing else but Tooru’s talent.
Before long, Kyoutarou heaved a big sigh and turned on his heal.
“B-boss!?”
“I see… I will return. However, boy, I will tell you one thing.”
“What is it?”
“That soldier from the special forces, what’s their name?”
“Name? …Akira Tsumura? Right, 37 years old. A pretty big and tough guy.”
Kyoutarou’s feet suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned around.
There was a look of triumph with a tint of sadism on his face.
“Listen, boy. When people don’t want to be suspected, their tongue will grow glib and they’ll say things that weren’t even asked for.”
“... And I even especially gave you a nice explanation, how ridiculous. What’s your basis?”
“You were always calm. However, when I asked for the name right now, your eyes wavered. That’s proof of you being anxious. When you’re asked something you weren’t expecting, you’ll also be surprised. I’ll praise you for boldly lying when you have a real yakuza as your opponent. However…”
Kyoutarou took out a gun from his pocket.
“It was your loss that your opponent is used to lies. Atone with your death.”
Thinking that Tooru would be shot, Takumi hung over the rooftop.
However, that didn’t happen.
“Ryou!”
Saying that, smoke bellowed out from their surroundings, and Tooru disappeared.
“Bastard!”
The man next to Kyoutarou threw himself into the smoke, and a muffled sound was heard.
As the smoke disappeared, there was only the man toppled over, his head being smashed.
“Emergency, emergency. Eleven yakuzas have invaded the school. Brandish your weapon and fight. The yakuza has guns and blades. Do not be negligent. I repeat…”
“S-seriously!?”
“It’s naturally not a drill, huh. Let’s go Daiki.”
“Yeah.”
In actuality, the lower floor was quite noisy.
“Daiki, let’s fall back.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I think they will come up.”
“Seriously… But, if we go up here, the music room will be a dead end?”
“The music room… No, I have a good idea.”
“Idea? As long as it’s not only appearing to be good…”
“If all goes well, there’s a possibility that we’ll decrease the number by a lot.”
At that time, they heard them climbing the stairs.
“Please hurry, Daiki!”
“Will it be okay…?”
Daiki and Miu both rushed to the stairway.
This man was, so to speak, an underling.
He was of the lowest rank of the members who arrived here.
To work hard, to be made fun of, and sometimes be doted upon were mostly part of his job.
That is why he had a strong desire to earn credit during this riot.
Therefore, he had no idea how this happened.
“Let me go! Is your hobby bondage play, huh! This lolicon!”
From her appearance, she seemed to be in lower middle school.
Anyway, it was good to capture her, but she was unbearably loud, and even if he tried carrying her, she’ll wriggle too much.
“YES lolita NO touch, don’t you agree!1”
“Who cares!”
The man thrust the gun at the girl.
Seeing it, the girl started smiling for some reason.
“Ahaha! That’s a fake! You’re being greatly trusted, huh!”
“What?”
He unconsciously looked at the gun.
And then everything happened in an instant.
When he realized it, the girl’s legs were wringing around his neck, and then it was broken.
The man fell to his knees.
“Even though it’s so easy to kill a person with only your hands tied… Brother is such a moron.”
She glanced at the corpse foaming from its mouth, grabbed the knife on the table with her foot, and dexterously tore the rope around her hands.
“Alright… I should go look for Brother Rei.”
Not realizing he was making a mistake by looking down on her appearance, the man’s life as an underling came to an end.
