.Is that for education too?
.Yeah
Neko-san points at her light car.
What about Lorenzaccio Bandini inside that?
Leave him alone
.Seriously?
He’s fainted and bound, right?
Yeah.he won’t wake up within two hours
Then, leave him.we would like to know whether Cesario Viola would move and retake the captured Lorenzaccio Bandini
.I see
Neko-san laughs.
Tony, report on radio. Maintain the first class alert. The others would understand with that alone
.Yes
Tony-san heads to the radio in the driver’s seat.
Kudou-papa looks at me inside the car.
Boy.let’s talk for a bit
Ah, sure
Michi-kun, get in the car
Yes.father!
Neko-san whispers to Kudou-papa.
.Who’s that?
Kuromori’srookie
Really?I can only see him as adick slaveor aCard Role
I.
Hello.I’m Yoshida. I’m just a normal high school student
Really.I’m useless.
I myself think so.
Oh, hello. Call me Neko
.Sure
Her voice is kind but Neko-san’s eyes are wary of me.
Well.I must be a sore thumb on a criminal organization main on prostitution likeKuromori
Michi comes beside me.
Don’t be afraid.stay calm, Yoshida!
.eh?
Yoshida right now is here on behalf ofKuromori!
.Right
No good.
I’m telling you to stop making that face!
.Michi
What’s going on? It’s my first time seeing Michi-chan scold a boy
Neko-san laughs.
Or rather.Michi-kun’s talking so closely with a man. Papa’s a bit shocked
Hearing her father’s words.
we’re not close!
Michi’s in total denial.
Well fine. Girls would lose it sooner or later.
When everyone’s inside the car.Kudou-papa closed the door.
This titan boy is said to be bulletproof.
For the time being.we’re safe here
Tony-kun, you already ate yours?
.Yes
Then, Tony’s on watch
.Roger
Lean your ears here
Yes
Norma-kun too, listen!
.Yes boss
A voice comes from the speaker
She must’ve put the phone on hands-free so she can listen to the conversation inside the car while wlaking.
Neko.eat the soumen. I’ll take care of these
Kudou-san recommends the soumen to Neko-san
My, looks delicious.then let me take a sip!
Neko-san begins eating.
Now then.first would be you, boy. Do you understand the reason why I scolded Norma-kun so much?
Kudou-papa stares at me.
Well.the information about Lorenzaccio Bandini until now is that he’s a manager without any combat capabilities.the people on alert didn’t expect Bandini to come.so I think that the attitude to precaution was different
Is that all?
.Err
If it was known that Bandini had an experience in rifle shooting.then the need for measures against a sniper would’ve been larger.
Is that all?
.Err
For the time being.that’s all
.Fuu
But, that’s big. It’s important for those who are alert to know who’s their target.the rifle’s much more important.
.Yes
Or rather.sniper rifle is something you need to learn properly with your body
Neko-san said while sipping noodles.
The enemy right now is a group of killers from Los Angeles. Most are young boy gangsters rising in the poor district of Los Angeles. Well everyone’s used to shooting guns.there’s a lot with an experience of shooting people with a pistol or getting on a gunfight at short distance.but it’s normal that they’re fundamentally unable to shoot a rifle .I see
Nowadays, there are those children of hunters who shoot a rifle since childhood.what about in the army? Just like this time’s case, if you’re not someone with an experience in rifle competition you can’t be a sniper.
For a sniper, the rifle and the bullet are expensive. An ordinary criminal won’t reach that foot easily
Neko-san adds to Kudou-papa’s explanation
That’s why, we look up at the enemy force’s file in advance, if there’s no military personnel then we usually eliminate the possibility of a sniper. Kudou-chan didn’t ignore it this time. This man sends a man even when he knows that there’s only a single percent of possibility and knowing that it’s wasteful
That’s why Neko-san and others were posted on identified sniping points beforehand.
Therefore, Lorenzaccio Bandini carrying a rifle was immediately noticed and was caught.
But.as expected, we’re also humans. If we believe on the small chance of a sniper, we go check it. To be honest, everyone was acting in anticipation of a raid from a separate force.
Yeah.if Neko wasn’t in the area, Bandini might not have been caught. Or rather, it’s possible that Michi-kun and I get sniped.
Therefore.it’s stupid to overlook the information that there’s someone experienced in using the rifle on Cesario Viola’s subordinates
.Is that how it is?
No, even Kudou-papa thought of the possibility of the sniper appearing even a little.
Even if a sniper appears, then a separate force succeeded in the feint, it would mean that the skill of the shooter isn’t that great?
Neko-san laughs at Kudou-papa.
That’s right. Therefore.I instructed you to capture the sniper at the moment he shoots
That’s why only a single bullet was shot.
Kudou-papa and Michi avoided it though.
But.In the case of this sixth placer in Ohio, he should’ve been caught before shooting. It’s dangerous to be seen by that man on a scope
.I see
Therefore.that lady on Kouzuki Security Service has to be apologizing to Kudou-chan and Michi-chan the most. And yet, to give priority on the people doing the outside work.Kudou-chan’s an adult
That’s not how it is. If she doesn’t apologize to Neko properly, Norma-kun next time would be underestimated by her companions. It would be troublesome. If such a subordinate turns to a rumor, it would hinder my future activities. I’m not thinking about you people.
What are you saying. Kudou-chan’s so sweet. If she’s under me, she’s fired right away!
.I can’t let that happen. She’s an important asset given by Kouzuki old man
Kudou-papa leaks a sigh.
By the way.what’s the reason why you gave the soumen to only me?
Neko-san stares at Kudou-papa
Neko.you like that car?
Kudou-papa looks at the car holding Lorenzaccio Bandini.
I do but.either way, that’s just a camouflage for work. I’ll do it if Kudou-chan needs it!
I’ll compensate for it
Eh.what’s going on?
.Kudou-chan, you’re really amazing. I didn’t think that far. I just took this foreigner like that
Neko-san said in frustration.
.Tony. Does anyone have any information on spotting other Cesario Viola’s subordinates?
No, there’s nothing
Kudou-papa looks at Neko-san.
Cesario Viola’s right hand manager is caught. If this is out of their expectation then isn’t it strange for them not to take any action?
That’s right.normally, you’d desperately try to take him back but.
If he’s the manager, then he knows a lot of information about Viola.
Tony, move Titan boy. 30 meters to the school side. Get away from Neko’s car. Do it slowly.
Ah.okay
Tony-san starts the car’s engine.
This car is made to be explosion proof so we can be at ease at least
.Does that mean?
.Does that mean that there’s a bomb in Lorenzaccio Bandini?
Michi speaks up.
We’re not sure.if it was me, I would do that. Normally, you’d interrogate Lorenzaccio Bandini when you catch him don’t you? If you make him explode at that moment.
Then all of the interrogators would be killed by the bomb.
But.would Cesario Viola do that far? It’s his own right hand you know?
Neko-san speaks up.
Lorenzaccio Bandini doesn’t participate in combatthat was the info. Then won’t that make.Lorenzaccio Bandini is Cesario Viola’s right handa lie too?
