Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

... Zudadadadadadadadadadadadadadad!!

...... duda duda duda duda!!

The number of machine guns from the rear being swept is increasing!

Three cloves...... no, maybe more.

...... dugggggggggggggggggggg!!

...... TUDADADADADADADADADADA!!

Different types of machine guns and different gunshots jumping into your ears.

Rain of too heavy a bullet.

Now Kan can't even shoot back...

Neither can Mr. Margo or Reihua.

In the meantime... the firewalls come down at sharp speeds.

From here... Should we run back to where Margot and the others are?

But if I raise my head...... I'll be shot for sure!

"Hey, what... this!

A frightened snowman clings to me from behind.

"Hey Snow... get away from me!

If Snow sticks to me...... I can't act fast.

"No!

Snow half panicked, screaming!

...... oh.

The firewall... it closes!

... Vienna... Dunn!

Completely... closed.

We were... separated from Margo and the others.

"... Your husband!

From the shadows, Michi raises his face.

"This firewall prevents machine gun bullets. It's okay now."

Michi... have you come to this side?

"Haha...... you're here. Shit."

Ning too...... this way.

And with me and Snow...

"No... I'm in trouble. This situation."

Kensi Kazuki... you too!

Beyond the firewall were three split... Margo, Guan and Reihua.

You got hit...... totally.

"They were waiting for our line to collapse with surveillance cameras. Weren't the firewalls on our progression route ready to operate at any time?

I can't do that...

It's just a human being in 'HQ' controlling all the systems in the hotel.

I mean... Chief Tanzawa?

"Aren't you eavesdropping on our conversation, too? As soon as I expressed my suspicions about Chief Tanzawa, I took action. This instant judgment depends on Mr. Tanzawa, right?"

We were... talking about Tanizawa as suspicious, and somewhere in our minds, we said, 'Are you sure?' I thought.

That's because I know Mr. Tanizawa in reality...

That he would be our 'enemy'... because he remained half-hearted.

That would be...... Margo, Guan, Reihua and the others too.

So even though we knew there was a surveillance network in the hotel, we all discussed our suspicions about Mr. Tanizawa.

No way, so soon...... I didn't know the 'enemy' would hit my next hand......

...... dogah!!!

Something hits the fire wall from the other side.

... Reihua?

But... firewalls don't even freak out.

It's really a specially made wall with bulletproof and anti-explosion specifications.

"... Yo!

Ning was trying to put the comms in his ear.

Yes... for what if, you had a comms machine.

Me and Meizhi, too, imitate Ning... attach a comms machine.

"... can you hear me? Ning, over?

"I hear you, Mal...... over"

Communication nearby... you put an 'over' at the end of the word to prevent confusion.

And... I need to be clear about who I'm talking to and whose answers I want to hear.

"That's okay, Mal... over"

'Oh. As soon as the firewall went down, the machine gun guys retreated... over'

"You've been shooting me from quite a distance...... because I can't reach the 'chi' sensor of my beautiful sister Michi Imout. Over '

Reihua says so.

"Sorry...... over"

'I'm not blaming Michi for anything.' Enemy 'was better. And... apparently, they didn't really come to kill us because the only purpose was to break us up. Over'

"What do you mean, Mr. Margo? Over."

I... ask.

"It wasn't exactly aimed at us. If you were going to kill me for sure, you'd come packing more distance... then there was something we could do about it. If you get shot silly at that distance, there's nothing you can do... over '

"The shooting came from the rear... you had five people, over"

Michi says.

Meizhi... I was counting properly.

The five of us... not Miss Cordelia.

Then I knew......

'Yeah, I checked too. Three cloves were of the same type of machine gun... the other two cloves were of separate types. The gunshots were completely different. Over'

"Yes… it was all used by the top elite of Kazuki Security Services. Three cloves are supplies, and two cloves are personal."

Seung-san says...

'I... I even figured out who exactly had shot me. Because I have a habit of rhythm when shooting. All five of them are top elites under Chief Tanzawa...... over'

... Is this Tanizawa-san's instruction?

"Yes, I know too...... over"

Reihua says the same.

Already, definitely.

'If that's the case... maybe I shouldn't say too much extra on this comms machine. This is the machine I borrowed from Kazuki in the basement...'

Mr. Margo sighs.

"There's a relay inside the walls on each floor, so it's a system that allows you to talk underground, right? So... from the relay, it's easy to eavesdrop, right?... over '

If you are the person controlling the system......

No, I'm talking about this surprised, ingenious hotel.

I guess the eavesdropping mechanism has been incorporated from the beginning anyway.

"Okay, Marchand... you should talk to us, thinking that all our stories are out of order... over"

'That's what I'm talking about, Ning... over'

More than I've been cut off by the wall...... I really need this comms machine.

On my phone, I can only make one-on-one calls...

I mean... if you speak up in this hotel, they'll listen to you on a wiretap microphone about what you did.

So be prepared to be listened to...... we just have to keep the conversation going.

'Anyway... apparently, the layout in the floor hasn't changed except for the walls that are now closed. From here, when we go around the wall... I think it'll take about ten minutes. But there's nothing I can't do, so don't worry...'

Seki-san... remembers completely the map of each floor that has become a maze.

One place, even if it's sealed off... they know how to get out of there and get us where we are.

"You guys, don't get away from there...... okay, over"

'Right. If we move poorly, we won't know where we are right now... because we won't be able to chase them. Over'

Seung-san and Margo say so but......

"But I don't think 'enemy' will allow us to rendezvous... over"

The Margos will be subjected to numerous' enemy 'raids during the detour......

We should be getting ready for that by now.

'Enemy' is listening to us...

'It's okay. We're professionals... Whatever happens, I'll definitely pick you up, so wait there... over'

...... Mr. Margo.

"... hey, what's that guy over there saying?

Snow, who doesn't have a comms machine, peeks into my face.

"I'll take a detour and pick us up here... and wait here."

"Uh, here?

"No, I can't help it. We're not free to walk around the hotel."

Kensi Kazuki, also without a comms machine, said so.

... hey.

Hmm?... Michi sticks my shoulder up.

"... what's going on?

Michi... showed me his phone.

On the screen...... hidden by hand. I guess you're afraid LCD screens will appear on the surveillance cameras......

Make sure you look just like me...... move your hands carefully.

Right... use the Create Email mode...

... a written conversation.

Instead of actually sending an email...... directly, if you show the person the sentence you hit, you can communicate your will without being bugged.

The LCD on Michi's phone said... this is what it said.

I remember all the maps in the hotel.

... Michi?

Meizhi hits the next sentence quickly.

Earlier, when Kan remembered, he looked from the side and remembered.

In room 2505 just now... you said you memorized it with me when Seki-san was looking at the map that the computer terminal put out.

... Exactly, Michi.

With Wisdom, we're free to walk around the hotel.

Don't tell anyone else.

Yeah... if I talk here, they'll just bug me.

Now, let's keep it closed in my heart.

"What are you doing... you two"

Snow tells us.

"It's nothing. It's private."

Oh, yeah.

"From now on... If you have any ideas, let's write on our phones. Show me your phone screen, only to the person you want me to read it to. Be careful not to show up on surveillance cameras."

"I see that's a good idea......!

Ken Kazuki nods.

"But I... I didn't bring my phone."

Right, Snow...

Because we've been kidnapped...

"It's okay, you... just say whatever you can think of, Bella Bella."

Michi said.

"What?! Are you making fun of me?!

"It's not. In your case, I just think that's better. The power to say whatever you think without feeling the air around you has always worked effectively as an alarm. You… have no preconceived notions"

... Prejudice?

"When I was first raided by the threesome... my sisters Margo, Guan and Reihua had full confidence in my ability to perceive my 'chi'. I myself was overconfident in my abilities. So I didn't notice the approaching of the 'enemy' who completely 'disengaged'...... You're the only one who noticed the 'enemy' sticking to the ceiling"

Yes... only Yukino, who doesn't believe in Michi's abilities, noticed the 'enemy'.

"At that time... I think if your warning had been a few more seconds late, we would have been defeated by the 'enemy'. Thank you."

Michi bows his head to Suzuno.

"What... that's, um..."

Ning is confused.

Yeah, Michi's right.

At that time, Mr. Margo unleashed his back sword at a critical place... although he managed to flaunt the 'enemy'...

If Snow didn't notice the 'enemy'... I think Ning would have been caught.

Ning's fall into the hands of the 'enemy' means our defeat.

"So keep it up with no preconceptions...... keep saying what you come up with. Please."

To Michi's words, Snow...

"Wow, I get it... you just have to say what you think. Oh, my God, that's about it, I..."

Why, it's lit... you.

"Right. Then why don't I just keep giving you my opinion?

Kensi Kazuki laughs.

"Your opinion is fine......!

Michi said clearly.

"You are a hunk of preconceptions......!

... Indeed.

"That's right... we've had relationships so far... assumptions... and of course, I guess that's what they assume, but we're too dominated by preconceptions anyway...!

...... Ning.

"Snow's got no preconceptions... yeah, it's helping!

Nico smiles, Mr. Ning.

"... Master, please stay on your side"

Michi... whispers in my ear softly as I look at Ning.

"I'm pretty nervous..."

Right... I'm separated from Mr. Margo.

Ning's mind is... panicking.

Still... as my older 'sister', he's trying to inspire us somehow.

"Ning......!

I... hold Ning's hand.

... cold hands.

Again, I'm under excessive tension.

"What's wrong, Yo?

"Nothing... I just wanted to be on Ning's side"

I lean on Mr. Ning.

"I'm already... sweetheart! Yo."

Ning leans on me, too.

"Do you hate sweethearts?

"I don't hate you... a lot, sweet"

I hold Ning tight...

'... I'm on the move now to see how things are going. So far, there's been no raid. I might get there sooner than I thought... over'

From the comms... Seki-san's voice.

'No, there can't be anything... let's concentrate. Over'

That's what Mr. Margo said.

"That being said... even though the information is restricted, can't you see footage of this floor, in the 'emergency shelter' underground? I wish I could at least see if there were any 'enemies' around me...... over"

Ning says that.

'Right. Shall I ask you something...... Hello, Mr. Keko? Misuzu, maybe, but the underground, you hear me...?

Mr. Margo tries to communicate with the basement...

'... too bad. Communication with the underground is now disconnected... over'

... who?

This voice...

"... Miss Cordelia?

Mr. Margo shrugged...

"… Your Answer"

At that moment... Michi screams.

"From the front...... I'm coming!

From across the hallway...... three figures come.

Two black combat clothes and... grey combat clothes.

Now I won't even kill 'chi'.

Flat...... the three of us walk in line.

"Mr. Margo... I'm here. Earlier threesome...... over"

I… report so.

'Sit!... Was the raid earlier a positive move...!

"That's the thing, Margo Starkweather......!

No more... not a voice from a comms machine...

Miss Cordelia's flesh was clearly heard.

"Najima Yasko and Shirasaka Yukino... two target audiences and three Omakes."

Three eyes... watching us.

"Well... let me capture you...!

The three 'enemies' pulled their guns out of the holster......
