Blade in Kivotos

Arc 2 Abydos: Part 3

"Dammit all! We suffered quite a loss against those Abydos girls!"

"And those arrows too, they reminded me of the ones in Schale a few days ago..."

"Wait, you don't think that it's the same guy that took out the whole army, right?"

"Whoa! Don't you think you just jinx it!?"

The four top leaders of the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang were discussing the huge loss that they took after their failed assault on the Abydos High School.

"Man...we were organized pretty well this time and almost got those girls too..." one of the leaders groaned.

"What should we do now? Ask for more funds from them?"

"Well—"

Before they could continue, a voice cut them off.

"Boss! We're under attack!" said one of the grunts.

The four rose up from their seats in surprise.

"What!? By who!? And how many!?"

"I-It's those girls from Abydos! B-but..." the grunt paused.

"If it's the Abydos Gang, they're only 4 people, right? Then prepare for the counterattack!"

"No boss... the attacker is only one person while the others just stood far away..."

The four leaders looked at each other.

"Your jinx really doomed us..."

"W-Wait! It doesn't have to do with me!?"

"YES, IT DOES!" said the other three in unison.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a blur.

"It's here!"

One arrow pierced the rifle.

"Stay hidden and try to hide your firearms as you aimed at her!" ordered one of the thugs.

Two more arrows flew and pierced the SMGs in their hands.

"It's no use! It keeps hitting our firearms with perfect accuracy!

"Argghh! Dammit! Everyone charged at her together while keeping your firearms low and hidden!"

It could be said that they had given up on playing organized moves and went full-on suicide attacks since no matter how secure they hid, the arrow would always find their way to their firearms.

While Shirou would be happy that the thugs decided to attack him all at once, it was different from his sister whose expression was calm and without emotion. Yet she couldn't help that her eyes were scanning the firearms in her enemies' hands. There was this kind of urge that made her want to hold them.

She closed her eyes for half a second and shook off the thought. Right now, she had important things to do and will discuss them with her brother later.

Numerous numbers of arrows were loosened from her small fingers as they hit each of the thugs' firearms, disarming them. Thrown grenades were easily disabled when they were still in the air. None of the thugs could do anything as they waited for their turns. They had seen this kind of performance back when a single figure dressed in the same red and black apprehended the thugs in Schale. But instead of a man, this time it was just a little girl with black hair albeit the same clothing.

"W-What kind of a monster is that!?" said a thug as a sense of foreboding assailed her.

Her eyes met the golden-brown gaze as an arrow was loosened from the tiny fingers. Pinning down the rifle in her hand.
