To Be A Scrapper (Suzuya Juuzou)

Chapter 45

"Guys, what are we doing?" I whispered to the three males who were laying beside me on the grass, expressions neutral as they looked at the huge mansion at the distance.
We had been laying in a prone position for about half an hour now and my elbows and back were already sore from propping me up so long. The hill we were stationed at was a bit distant from the house but still allowed us a decent view of the huge building.

"We're waiting." Shin answered, his hands loosely grasping a pair of binoculars as he held them in front of his face.

Ryuu was at his side with his head facing the sky, bored eyes staring at the beautiful colors of the setting sun as he hummed a quiet tune to himself. Once in a while he would furrow his eyebrows and mutter some incoherent phrases which I just chose to ignore, I'd grown accustomed to it after all.

Jiro was, as strange as it sounds, the most quiet out of us. His hands were firmly set on his M24 sniper rifle, his expression calm and collected as he looked through the scope.

"Waiting for what?" I whispered, turning my face to the only one who was actually answering my questions.

"For the sun to set." Shin answered.

"How romantic..." The lilac haired boy muttered with an eye roll which caused Shin to jab his elbow into Ryuu's side.

"Hey Jiro. Two o'clock. You see them, right?"

I turned my attention to where Shin said. At the distance I managed to spot the silhouette of a group dressed in black, all talking amongst each other. From what I gathered there were five of them.

"Yep." The blond slowly answered. "Already have their coordinates set. Seems like they don't know we're here yet."

"How much to eliminate them?" Shin whispered.

"Two shots, easy."

"And you'll be left with?"

"Ninety eight quinque bullets and two hundred regular ones."

"Alright. We're counting on those two shots." Shin whispered as he truned to face the lilac haired boy who looked like he was on vacation.

"Ryuu, we're moving out in T- minus three minutes."

"Got it." The boy in question replied abesntmindedly.

"Can we go over the plan one more time?" I whispered. "I'm not very good at memorizing."

"Forget the plan. Just make sure to bring the dude's head back." Ryuu muttered.

"We can't go on a damn bounty hunting mission without a plan. Did you pay attention at all on the ride here?"

"But Ryuu's plan sounds so much easier! Can we just go with that?" I groaned as I plopped down on the ground, the thin blades of grass hugging my body as I let out a sigh.

"You just have to follow me, alright? That's all you need to do. As long as your eyes can find mine you'll be alright." Shin gave me a side glance as he replied, a barely there smile appearing on his face for a split second.

"Aw, is that Shinny poo's attempt at being sweet?" Ryuu cooed in a teasing tone. "You're so adorable!"

"You know what else is adorable? My fist up your ass-"

"Shin!" The lilac haired boy faked a shocked expression. "Don't voice your sexual fantaises in front of our children!"

"I'm fucking older than you!" Jiro cut in.

"Cursing is bad..." I muttered as I flicked the blond's head, rolling my eyes at his squeak in pain. "Jiro you're really weak.."

"I'm not weak!" He gasped offended. "My specialty is just not the same as yours!"
