True and Maligan were in a shoot-out as they moved around the swarming homeless city. True shoots frequently while changing places, and Maligan is dressed to shoot after it.
True was calculating and shooting guns so that streaming bullets did not reach passers-by or digging cabins. Even if the opponent replaced him, he was only shooting if there was something at the point of impact that prevented him from passing the bullet.
But Maligan shoots a gun like that. Even with this alone, the true works as a clear disadvantage.
"Ugh!?
And finally, there were victims. A bullet fired by Maligan pierced the homeless's neck. Old homeless people moan and fall.
(No, not here)
While imagining myself with a painful face, the truth rose to the top of the hut. No matter how careful I am downstairs, it doesn't make sense that the other person doesn't care.
The marigan rises up on the roof as if it were truly aligned. There's no shielding between us now. Moreover, the scaffolding is slippery and not flat, making the movement very unstable.
"You're a disgusting hypocrite who goes out of his way to a disadvantageous place with zero shields to keep out of trouble. Those guys blackout as punishment!
Maligan fires two shots as he screams.
(Quick shot from the middle. Though not as beautiful as Higuchi)
I think it is true while avoiding it in an extreme place.
True shoots back twice as soon as he dodges. One shot was feint. The other shot was aimed at after the behavior prediction, and it hit the hidden part of Maligan's cloak. Chest or arm under the cloak.
The marigan stopped moving. Since there is no bleeding, it is presumed to have been inhibited by bullet-proof fibers.
"Isn't there plenty of escape inside? I can see you're stepping on quite a few spots for a hungry demon. Look, I've been here since I was your age, so my intimacy is boiling."
Stop shooting and talk.
"But... you can't be a good girl after all. It's not good to worry about stray bullets. It is a negative element that is only fatal. It is stronger without pity. You don't know that, do you?
"Sometimes compassion works positive. You don't know that, do you? And compassion doesn't come from such an intention."
Truth returns indifferently to Maligan, who speaks of theory.
"Ah... I see. I'm sure it is. You have a good experience with someone taking care of you. That must be... awesome - wonderful. That's why you're like that. I don't have that kind of experience, so I have to imagine. That's why I'm like this. Whoops... there's someone in front of you with something you don't have. This frustration and frustration... are all kinds of weird sensations that are difficult to describe... Ah... in a word, fuck."
Maligan speaks with a bitter expression.
"And... don't shoot me this time, you'll listen to me. Is that what kindness is? Is he pitiful? Well... I just want to thank you a little bit. I'm going to live the rest of my life with the memories that a foolish hungry ghost who listened to me was killed by me soon afterwards."
Speaking that far, Maligan gave him a cloak. Your cloak reveals your hidden left arm.
(Machine... cyborg)
True understanding that bullets were not hindered by bullet-proof fibers, but by metal arms. And it reminds me of someone.
(There is no doubt that there is something gimmick in the prosthesis, like the Rain Shore Lily. While you're hiding it in your cloak. So, showing the hidden prosthetic hand deliberately means using the gimmick.)
When true thought was spinning around, Maligan opened his palm wide and turned Yoshihide towards the true. There was a hole in the center of the palm.
Judge it to be something to eject, and the real thing is to fly.
At that moment, a beam is emitted from the palm of Maligan's prosthesis.
"That's...."
The truth that emitted the beam could not help but penetrate.
"You'll be able to strike surprisingly while you're hiding it in your cloak. I'll be vigilant at the time of the cloak, but it's still better to show them and then shoot."
"It may be, but I don't know if I can do it... because I'm going to have a big hole in my cape."
Maligan said that with his face, but now he's shooting a gun.
While avoiding bullets, True was also paying attention to Maligan's left prosthesis. Attention must also be paid to attacks that are different from bullets. While Maligan is shooting with his right hand gun, he has to be alert to the possibility of doing something with his left hand prosthesis.
Thanks to that, I soon realized the truth. The wire extends from Maligan's left hand and goes down under the roof.
I could almost understand what I was trying to do.
True points the gun at Maligan.
Before the truth pulled the trigger, Maligan pulled down the wire under the roof.
The wire was tangled with immigrant children. I'm still a little kid about four or five years old.
(I knew it.)
True pulls the trigger before Maligan shields his child.
The bullet directly hits Maligan's left arm prosthesis. Because of that impulse, the wire goes crazy and falls under the roof before the child is pulled up.
"This guy! He shot me!
Maligan shouts and sees the truth.
"Aren't you the protagonist type sweetheart!? If you think you escaped on the roof because you don't want to be caught, you don't hesitate to shoot if you try to make a hungry ghost hostage!? Bresugii!
Maligan raised a protest voice, but in fact, if I hadn't expected it to be true, my movement might have been consolidated for a moment by being pushed into disbelief. It was only when I noticed the wire that I was able to take the hostage and use it as a shield when I was lowering the wire under the roof that I was able to act calmly.
"You were like this!
Maligan reaches for the palm of his prosthetic hand.
(It is difficult to think of using the same hand, and now it is another hand?
Even with that in mind, the truth is that Maligan's murderous intentions are matched by evasive actions.
Maligan attacks with lethality. It certainly wasn't a beam this time.
It was a miniature shell that was fired from the palm.
It hits the roof and explodes. Although the true attack was avoided, it was blown away by the blast and fell sideways. This attack was completely unexpected.
(I see... instead of dodging you, like a cartoon... you should have done that...)
In a cartoon I saw a long time ago, it really reminds me of a scene where a bullet was fired into a cannon just before launching a grenade launcher.
"Isn't that amazing? If you let go of the beam, it will also be a grenade launcher, a delightful versatile arm. The size is small, so it's less powerful, but, well, it was enough to take you down."
Looking down at the true fallen, he smiled slightly and pointed his gun at him.
(My body... doesn't move. No way... they're going to kill you here?
True fears of death come to mind at the same time.
(We can't die. I don't care about pride)
Remembering that I had a trump card, I decided to use that power.
"Mh... shhhhhh..."
Maligan filled his nose with a tissue that had been cut first because his nose bled when he tried to stab him.
"Okay, goodbye now."
Again, Maligan is really pointing at the gun and laughing hard.
"But which way!
Immediately beside Maligan, a voice was heard, and someone jumped up from under the roof.
(Homeless?)
Maligan wonders when he suddenly sees someone on his side.
"Bhhhh! I'm a fly today! Flies flying up the roof!
For some reason, Hayama, dressed as a homeless man, was truly stunned when he saw him shouting aggressively next to Maligan.
