𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄━━━S. Manjiro

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆-𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻

I could hear the noises from the people down there. I held Manjiro in my arms and felt a sense of oddness. But I ignored it and glared at the delinquents while holding him tighter. "Trying to bring him down while he's like this... They're all..." I cut myself short and clicked my tongue with annoyance after.

It was at that moment, that I heard a captain of Valhalla yelling at top of his lungs, "Follow me! We're gonna curb stomp Mikey!" the masked, hooded Valhalla captain soon started leading the others and headed this way. At that exact moment, I caught a glimpse of a certain man together with another person I didn't know. Both of them were climbing up this place through another place faster and from another location than the Valhalla men. That was enough.

My eyes darkened and my lips curled down. "So you're trying to take credits, huh...?" It looks like however, this fight will turn out, Kisaki Tetta will do whatever to gain something from this event.

"What a cunning person he is." I scoffed with a frown on my face. I gently placed Manjiro down so that I could stand up again. I looked at his unconscious body for a moment and narrowed my eyes. His head is bleeding, he lost a lot of blood from this. That's certainly... a concerning matter. I bit down my lips and held back, I have to finish other matters first. Otherwise, it would be difficult to tend to him while fending off these persistent bastards and this cunning insect.

I removed my white coat and used it to cover him. He was not wearing any top clothes, he might catch a cold later on...

I sighed and shook my head. What made him think that going to a battlefield without any top would be a good idea?

I stood up and faced the battlefield below us. The crowd was in chaos, I could barely see the people I want to see. However, I only swept them a glance before changing my focus. I only wanted to know if they were still fine. I jumped down from the scrapped car I was standing on and left Manjiro for a while. Fighting around him wouldn't be a great idea.

My back was turned against him, completely missing out on the fact that he was already conscious and that he reached out his hand in my direction...

I picked up a metal pipe lying in the car I landed on and pointed it toward the enemy and glared. "Dare take another step forward and I'll really send you to Valhalla." The one on the lead spat and didn't hesitate to ignore my warning despite the others stopping behind him with hesitation.

"You're just a little girl, holding a metal pipe. Bet you're just trying to act like you're not scared, no?" He scoffed. "Why don't you go home and play dress up like girls at your age d-!"

Once he stepped into my range of attack, I refused to hold back my strength and struck him on the head. I held the pipe like a baseball bat and he fell unconscious on the ground. "Really, discrimination regarding gender at this age? We're not in ancient Japan. I guess your mind is as old as your face." I kicked him down and he rolled down the stacks of cars.

I immediately forgot about him and turned to look at the rest of them. "Still want to try coming past me?" I pointed the metal pipe at them with a look of indifference. Despite the threats though, some still refused to back down. What greeted them was a pipe in their face as they fall tumbling down and even bringing down the others.

Some people are just born stupid.

I couldn't help but scoff at them and glanced in the direction where I saw Kisaki earlier. But I really didn't have time to pay any more attention to where he is now as the same person who led the foolish Valhalla members here earlier, the masked and hooded one appeared before me with a weapon in his hand. In response, I raised my hand while he swings his weapon at me while grumbling under my breath, "Everyone's truly stupid...!" Before he could even reach me, my fist hits his face first.
