Chapter 27 – #7 Department Store Terror (1)
(Club)
It was about 15 minutes after the dispatch order was given that Apple arrived at the scene in a car driven by Apple.
A bike that appears to have been ridden by Spade was also parked near the place they arrived.
Spades are the only bizarre preference for sticking to a design like that, so there’s no way I’m mistaken.
“Fuck… Really.”
Club got off the 7th division car and looked up at the building in front of him with a sigh.
■■Department store.
Around the department store, there were police officers who kept onlookers away, and if you looked further, there were naked men and women covered in cream.
An ambulance is also on standby in case of an emergency.
… What the hell is going on inside
Before entering, I put the gum I brought with me as a routine for mental unification and chew it while thinking for a while.
The other day, the club visited a famous dessert shop in this shopping mall.
There, he ran into No. 13 and Dorothy and attacked them on the spot.
I ended up missing it….
“Is it a revenge battle? It’s messy.”
Club murmured with contempt and ridicule as he blew up a bubble with the chewing gum he was chewing on.
A sudden emergency dispatch order.
Apparently, this shopping mall was terrorized and occupied by the guys from the villain organization [Abyss] In broad daylight.
* * *
[Club, Apple, have you arrived?]
“Yes, Mr. Spade. Both me and Mr. Club has arrived.
As I said beforehand, there will be no more replacements than this within the next hour.”
[Yes, I understand. … And just two is enough. Such a villain.]
As expected, Spade, who arrived at the scene first on a dedicated bike, seemed to be unable to wait and rushed to the scene first.
And now, she barely checks the situation and hides in a bathroom on a certain floor.
With Spade’s ability his, he should have been able to keep his spirits up and advance freely, no matter what the opponent was, even if it was a minefield.
[The hostage was taken.]
[All the people still in this shopping mall are hostages.]
Spade said with a sigh, as if he was seriously troubled.
Crackle crackle
“Please look at this, Mr. Club.”
Apple turned the laptop on which it was typing something quickly.
What popped up on the screen was surveillance camera footage installed here and there in the department store.
In the video, dolls that looked like bisque stones and felt grotesquely unpleasant roamed the floor, subduing people and dragging them somewhere.
“…… This?”
“I have a record. Among the members of the villain organization [Abyss], It is an ability used by the villain with the nickname of the general staff.”
There is information I heard from the subordinates, and I have seen them actually used in the field.
As a direct confrontational position, each doll is stronger than an ordinary adult man, but it cannot be compared to the heroes.
But the problem is the number.
The last time I couldn’t take out a few, and it seemed that my magic power had run out.
Right now, it appears to be a fairly cheesy number.
Did you gain strength in the meantime? ? Or something trick… ?
Anyway.
It seems that this is the reason why Spade can’t make a hasty move even after rushing in first.
You don’t know what to do to the hostages if they make useless moves.
[I saw a few hostages who rebelled. I think I might do the same thing.]
“Did you see it? What is it?”
[Listen carefully. It’s because I’m committing something so terrible that I can’t even speak.]
Customers held hostage.
But if they tried to run away or act defiantly, the puppets of the staff immediately punished them mercilessly.
For men, With undressed and razor-like doll hands After removing the hair from the body, And finally Apply hair removal cream gentlyDo the finishing touches.
For women, The Dolls were carryingSoaked in whipped creamMake the whole body a mess
No, what are those villains doing?
“Then… Do terrible things…!”
[Right… It’s a terrible villain crime that will definitely remain traumatic for the rest of your life… I can’t forgive you, but that doesn’t mean I can’t move hastily.]
To make matters worse, it is said that Villain No. 13 even gave a clear notice.
About an hour… Now, when the time limit of about 40 minutes is over, he will set off a special bomb installed somewhere in this department store.
They said they would detonate a bomb with a gender reassignment function called the 『TS Bomb』.
When the bomb explodes, all the hostages currently being held change into different genders on the spot.
Men become women and women become men!
Oh My God!
How could you do such a terrible thing?!
Is it because you’re a villain?
To change people who have been living as men and women up until now to the opposite sex… !!
“Nonsense… Then Spade-senpai, who is now rushing in, is also in danger! First of all, I don’t want to rush in! Seniors, come out too!”
[Do you want to get scolded? Rather than putting the bomb ahead, what those guys are asking for is you, the club.]
“Fuck! I really hate it!”
The club had no desire to live as a man now, no matter what.
But from what I hear, it doesn’t seem like No. 13 really wants to do anything with this TS bomb.
Loud bombs are just blackmail material.
All he wants is to bring the club to a place.
“Fuck… I have to go even if I don’t like it.”
[You can’t be a hero and step out of this situation, right?]
“…… I thought it was a joke. No matter how much I am, I have an awareness as a hero.”
[Then I’m glad.]
But no matter what, that doesn’t mean you can’t listen straight to the request of No. 13.
No matter how you look at it, isn’t it a trap?
It must be revenge for what was badly done the other day. Obviously, some kind of trap must have been laid in the location designated for the club to come.
Even so, ignoring the request would be like sacrificing civilians.
… That, too, cannot be.
[Okay. Right now, I can’t accept 【Abyss】’s request as it is, but I can’t ignore it either.]
[So, the two of you, let’s quickly plan a plan. What should I do, how can I overcome this situation.]
At Spade’s words, which gave a glimpse of the dignity of an A-class hero, the club, which had been listening to the communication device with Apple, nodded their heads solemnly.
* * *
All the information needed to grasp the situation is at hand, and there are three competent heroes gathered.
An operation that could overcome the situation quickly came out.
Most of the plans were framed by Apple, but… Indeed, Apple’s ability was so great that it was hard to believe that it was a D-class when I saw it on the field.
“Then, I’ll start right away.”
Damn!
The club standing in front of the main entrance of the department store rang as they raised their hands together as if praying.
Woo woo woo… !
Okay. Perfect preparation. I also chewed gum as I always do for mental unification.
Condition is top notch.
The core of the strategy is himself, and if he makes a mistake, everything will be ruined, but the club is not nervous about that fact, but rather is more encouraged.
“【―――――――】”
Take a deep breath and mutter something in your mouth.
It is the language of magic transmitted from the constellations.
Prior to performing the mystery called miracle or magic, a mysterious recitation resembling a prayer flows from the mouth of the club as if singing.
The familiar flow of magical power swells and spreads along with the incantation uttered.
A torrent of magical energy unknown to ordinary people who do not feel magical power.
However, in the next moment, even the people gathered around the department store were able to clearly recognize the unusual phenomenon that had taken place in front of their eyes.
“Uh…?』
“What is that?”
Dot dot dot dot
Dot dot dot dot
Tadadak
Todok tok tadadak
Tadat, Tadadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadad, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tadat, Tok, Tododok, Tododok, Todot, Thatd, Tadat, Tadat, Tadadat, tadadat, tadat, tadat, thatt, thatt, thatdadat, thatdat, thatdadadadat, thatdat, thatdat, thatdat——
“Cat… Whoa?!』
『Cats are coming!!!!』
A group of cats calmly walk on the asphalt and marble floors.
Regardless of the size or direction, they came pouring in, not just one or two or five or six.
『Well, how many of those are there?!』
A voice like a scream from a certain bystander is heard.
Even so, the concentration of the club was not disturbed. It should not be distracted.
Since they are manipulating such a large number of cats, there is a possibility that even a slight distraction could ruin them all.
Meow~
Meowong
Nyaaaaa
Cats crying all over the place. Each of the different cries echoed unexpectedly at the right timing, as if they were all singing together.
Some of the observers pointed their smartphone cameras at the mysterious scene, while others backed away as if reluctantly.
And in the heart of such cats.
Commanding the cats like a conductor of an orchestra, Sun Club let out a long sigh and relaxed his shoulders.
Whoop whoop whoop… !
“…… Welcome.”
Indeed, this seemed to consume a lot of mana and concentration, and beads of sweat formed on the club’s forehead.
But it’s okay. That’s about it.
Because I am a hero
The club is a hero, so that’s okay. Are you okay.
“Go, my cat friends. It’s to get the fuckin’ fucking villain off the hook.”
With the club’s command, the cats rushed into the department store in unison.
Some to the front door, some to a low-positioned window, some to find another passage.
The group of cats, which looked like colorful waves for a moment, rushed in and disappeared in an instant.
* * *
[It’s an operation called ――.]
“Ah, yes. I checked.”
And inside the department store where the club just crammed the cats, on the top floor.
Checking the department store’s surveillance cameras with the pad in her hand Her, No. 13 was looking under the window with a relaxed expression, wearing a Bluetooth earphone while on a call.
From this location, you cannot see what is happening on the first floor. Even if it’s a surveillance camera, there are blind spots so you can’t check everything.
In addition, in the case of the cat that rushed in a while ago, it skillfully avoids the surveillance camera’s gaze and moves all at once in a blind spot…
Now, with #13, there was no way to visually confirm what the club had done.
However, it is thanks to the other person on the other side of the earphone that is on the phone that you can still know what is happening, even in a rough way.
“Thank you, Apple. Don’t hang up and keep reporting the situation. If there is anything unusual, please let me know.”
[Yes, Mr. 13. Everything according to No. 13’s will★]
