Delinquent's Crescendo

Chapter 27: Rushing Inside

[Ao Pov]

"Raden only shoot if you think you can only injure the target; no killing unless it's her father." Banchou claims

A no-kill rule, and only for her father?

That is odd, but it is clear that she doesn't like that man.

*Ririka I appreciate you hitting your boyfriend; however, it is the man who is supposed to beat the woman and wrap them around his thumb since women are just worthless and were only made to do chores and such. If I could move, I would get up and show your boyfriend how to properly beat you.*

He's the absolute worst. I never understood her hatred towards her father, but all of a sudden I do know why she does. I can see it fully; she suffered due to him, and I remind her of him because of the way I treat her and look at her.

"You..." a large man huffed as he stomped over to us. Raden pointed the gun at the man but soon realized that taking the shot wouldn't do anything right now; he's the type of man who can take a bullet at least once.

Banchou didn't wait for him to finish talking; she ran at him and punched him in the face. If I had been hit by that fist, it would have been an instant knockout, but that man tanked the hit, spitting out a tooth, which cut his lip.

"You're strong yet too young," he claims.

He punched Banchou, who fell to her knees in a daze. It was as if he rattled her brain, and she was trying to keep her brain from bouncing all over. Raden had a few seconds of hesitation, and the man used that to rush her, tackling her as she pulled the trigger, causing her to shoot a light on the ceiling.

Raden was sent tumbling. I couldn't tell if she was even conscious or not; she was completely run over by that man.

"You must be the boyfriend," he said.

I didn't know what to say to that.

*ba-thump.*

My heart began to beat quickly. I'm going to die...

"Gyaaaa!" Banchou shouted, gaining his attention as he turned his head. She roundhouse kicked him, making his eyes swell up a bit. He still took the attack, but Banchou at least knows she can damage him. "Not good," she comments.

"What is?" I ask.

"His punch KO'd me for a moment, and my attacks barely do anything to him!" She shouts while dodging attacks from him, clearly showing she is afraid. She sidestepped to dodge and attack, then grabbed his head, kneeing his face and causing it to bleed.

Blood dripped onto the ground, and the man smiled. "I see why Ririka likes you," he mentions.

Banchou scoffs, "You're just a nameless extra, so shut up and let's get back to the fight." She said

The man was slow, so Banchou was using her speed advantage, but it only is getting her so far. She can't keep this up forever; if she exhausts herself, she will get hit, and attacking is still fifty-fifty; she can't be sure that her attacks will hit.

"Question can you go on ahead?"

Banchou asked me that question. I could go on ahead, but that would leave her alone to fight this monster. "I... I can't!" I tell her loudly.

"Why not!?" She asks

"You are a precious friend to Kanade-chan; abandoning you would be a disgrace to her; she would be mad at me if I did!" I shout

"Is Kanade-chan the blonde girl? I got special permission from the higher-ups that I could keep her as a pet-I was planning on keeping Ririka-chan, but I don't vibe with corpses," he said.
