You’re Right, They’ll Expel Me if I Run into the Store with a Weapon!! - Chapter 92: I've Always Been Watching Over Shiori

──Shiori! Thank you for making me your exclusive!

──Shiori! This is my masterpiece! Please try using it!

──Shiori! I got scolded by the doctor〜! What should I do〜!

──Shiori! A woman’s value isn’t in her chest! So please stop trying to rip mine off!

──Please be grateful to me!

(Th-thank you… Haruna…)

──You’re welcome!

I saw a vision of my life flashing before my eyes.

Behind me, my friend Haruna smiled, cheering me on in my imagination.

Then, I pointed the gun muzzle at Suzuko.

I pulled the compact submachine gun from the holster, “MP5K.”

While lying on my side, I fired it.

“!?”

Reacting to the slight noise of it being drawn, Suzuko turned around and activated her ability instantly.

“Why…!?”

Eventually, the magazine was empty, and the continuous gunfire stopped.

“Why haven’t you fallen? I should have hit you.”

Standing before a surprised Suzuko, Shiori got up, breathing heavily.

She threw away the empty MP5K and took up another black gun.

“Haruna… I was saved.”

“That weapon… that hand…”

“Did you notice?”

“…I should have been done for under normal circumstances.”

“I just have an abnormal friend, that’s all.”

Shiori was holding a pair of shining black pistols.

However, her hands holding them were powerless, and her skin showed signs of blueness.

“The pistols themselves deflected the bullets… Normally, they’d be shattered, but they’re still intact.”

As Suzuko deduced, Shiori had used both pistols to defend and avoided direct bullet hits.

Haruna had made those weapons with super strength.

As a result, the guns were not shattered, and the bullets were not deflected outside.

However, the impact of the pistols was resonating through her body.

“Your middle finger is on the trigger… Can’t use your index finger anymore?”

“”

“Do you still see a way to win?”

Shiori’s face twisted at the reality Suzuko pointed out.

The pistols were durable, but the hands that supported them were not.

(Index finger, wrist, arm, shoulder joint…)

Reassessing her physical condition, Suzuko’s words weighed heavily on her mind.

“Ability sealed and physically exhausted… Are you still going to fight in such a state?”

The chance of winning was virtually nonexistent.

In a real battle, one would choose to flee.

But,

“It’s not over yet──”

“Hm…?”

“It’s not over yet…”

Her voice was laced with pain, but her strong will remained intact.

At Shiori’s declaration, Suzuko asked,

“Have you done body strengthening… physical endurance enhancement?”

“!”

“There is no need to check. You must have done some to withstand the movements when enhancing physical abilities.”

Saying so, she dropped the sniper rifle to the floor,

“Here I come──”

“──Gah!?”

Suzuko instantly moved before Shiori and launched a roundhouse kick with her stored physical enhancement.

Shiori’s body was blown away, breaking through the long windows on the upper floor of the building.

“Hiroki… wait there.”

“O-okay.”

“I’ll finish everything.”

With Hiroki stepping back, Suzuko leaped towards where Shiori was blown away.
