Magiclad Girls and a Mob who will save them, or else the world is doomed!

Chapter 22: Mob defeating the worst

After Hihara Karen left I turned around and immediately talked to Sakamoto who was hiding.

I pushed down my feelings of fear and spoke .......

"I know you're here. Come out."

With that, a hooded Sakamoto came out from around the corner. I couldn't see his face because he was still wearing his hood.

"Since we're here, how about taking off the hood? Well, if you are too scared to show your face, I won't force you..."

Sakamoto slowly reached out with his hand towards the hood and revealed his face. Anger was evident on his face, and it seemed like he had already lost his rationality. As he removed the hood, Sakamoto's teeth clenched, and he pulled out a knife from his pocket. In response, I held the water gun in both hands.

Can I really win with just this? I feel anxious about the possibility of being stabbed in a place where the dictionary won't protect me. But I have to confront him here.

I will put an end to this bad ending right here!!!! And save Hihara Karen this moment!!!!

"You remind me of that person from the past and bring back my humiliation... I can't forgive that. Even though I've been thinking about it for so long, unable to fulfill my grudge..."

"It's such an inconvenience. It's creepy when you hold a grudge to this extent."

"I'll kill you!!"

"I don't mind you coming at me anytime, but since we're here, why don't you tell me about that past of yours? It's probably not a big deal anyway."

Provoking him, I said, and Sakamoto began speaking while trembling with anger, always ready to kill with his knife. He's confident that he's in a favorable position. But beware of complacency.

"Alright then!! I'll tell you! It was when I was in high school. There was a person in my class named Akai Konana... AAAAHHHH!"

Midway through his story, I fired the water gun. There's absolutely no need to engage with someone like him. I already know, and there's no way I'll let this opportunity slip away.

"My eyessssss!!"

It's a water gun filled with even spicier chili peppers than before. Blended with gochujang. It stings more in the eyes and hurts even more.

Immediately, I contacted the police. I assume Hihara Karen has already contacted them as well, but just to be sure.

"Uhm, is this the police? There's a man with a knife causing a disturbance near the candy store in Nanairo Town. He's really dangerous. Please come quickly."

Unable to open his eyes, Sakamoto blindly rushed at me. He mostly came towards the sound, but I was crouching down.

Tripping over that, he fell down. With him lying on the ground, I kicked him in the groin.

"M-my eyes!"

Last time, I didn't face charges for assault, so I can confidently send this guy flying this time. Though I'm only aiming for his groin...

I kicked him repeatedly, occasionally opening his mouth in pain, and whenever he did, I fired the water gun. I bought time until the police arrived. Fear was certainly present, so along the way, I kicked away the knife he let go of.
