Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru [DISCONTINUED]

106: So Pretty It Pisses Me Off

A/N: *heavy breathing* HE'S GORGEOUS ISN'T HE?!?!

Anyway, this is shiny demon (NOT Naoki) that will have a name to him later in this chapter

♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

"Hey, Naoki!" You dive to the left, pushing your blade against the ground to stabilize yourself, "Look, I know the odds are that my life isn't going to magically go my way and I'll suddenly be skilled enough to beat you! But!"

Naoki summons another blade and throws it at an unconscious escort (Lizett, you recognize). You grit your teeth and run to her, swinging your blade and knocking away the attack from Lizett.

"But this seems just as nice a time as any to, you know, try and fight!" You banter, "But how about you do me a favor and give up anyway?"

"You're starting to become less charming-"

Naoki lunges at you but Hariko jumps in the crossfire. Naoki tries pushing against him, cocking his head to the side to look at you.

"-And becoming more annoying!"

Iguro runs behind Naoki and aims for his neck. Naoki uses his Blood Demon Art, protruding a blade from his back. Iguro narrowly dodges, though the blade keeps growing and almost cuts Iguro's face.

Instead it cuts his mask right off, you made the effort to purposely look anywhere else but Iguro to respect his privacy until he can cover up again.

You run to Naoki's side and raise your blade upward to gain momentum.

Remember what Kyojuro taught you.

Grip the handle with all your might. Relax your shoulders. Brace your lower half. Take a deep breath, one that will spread throughout your entire body.

Swing with the intent to kill!

You aim right for Naoki's neck.

"Wait no!" Iguro shouts, "Get ba-"

"-WAAHH MY GOSH!"

You shriek when Naoki's protrudes another blade from his chest targeting you.

AH FUCK!

YOU GOTTA JUMP!

YOU GOTTA JUMP!

You stab the nirichin blade into his shoulder and jump at the same time to push yourself upwards. You get off the ground and into the air, higher than the blade and his body itself.

Ah-ha ha! Pole Vaulter bitches!!

You let go of your sword when you jump, but only momentarily to readjust your grip. You force your body down with your blade. When your feet hit the ground on the other side of Naoki, you swing your arms down, cutting Naoki a bit diagonally through his torso.

Iguro takes aim once again.

But then you barely had any time to react when Naoki protrudes blades from his body everywhere. Hariko had been the one to pull you away just in time before the blades fucking explode everywhere!

They were rising in the sky and in just a few seconds the blades will rain down on you!

"Become a shield!" Iguro commands, already dashing towards the escorts, "Protect the survivors, don't let them get injured!"

You look at the escorts; they were all scattered around, and Aimi-she was the furthest from everyone else.

Could you really just abandon the other escorts in favor of protecting someone who might not even survive?
