Hero Defeated by Evil 31

Chapter 31 – #7 Department Store Terror (5)

The club is clamped to the post with the spade’s hand gripped by the neck,
A state where you can’t get out of that monstrous state.
The club is looking over Spade’s shoulder at No. 13 as if to kill him, but that’s meaningless with its floundering struggle.

Now all that is left of her is to approach her immobilized and plug her mouth and her nose her with a handkerchief soaked in this brainwashing drug.

With that, the game ends.
You can send this damned cheeky hero to the bottom of the abyss.
Until that happens, it was time to go one step further.

“Ah….”

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

Come on!!!

Suddenly.
The spade that was holding the club by the collar and immobilizing it.
She tilted her head back with a powerful scream that resonated in her stomach her, and she slammed her head forward.

“Uh……?”

At first, she thought she was going to smash the club, and her heart sank.
Spade’s superpowered headbutt is powerful, frightening, and heavy enough to shatter even a stone.
I had to rush forward with all my might, without letting go of the head-butt, so I couldn’t help but feel cold at the moment.

No matter how bad the club was and how many things were piled up, I did n’t really want to see her head her crushed like a tomato.
In the first place, no. 13 is terribly afraid of grotesque things like horror movies, and hates them.
She can’t afford to waste a precious ona hall and sex slave that will be her property from now on.

But should I say it’s fortunate or unfortunate?
The spade’s head her did n’t break the head of her club, it just slammed hard into the post beside her face her.

It’s not something the club avoids.
Just a spade, she just aimed for that.

“…… Seniors… ? Ah….”

Dump!

The body of the club, which had been pressed and fixed to the pillar like a specimen, fell to the floor.
Spade’s hand her, which was gripping her collar her, was released.

“………………… Spades?”

This time, no. 13 called the name.
Spade takes her head off her pole, staggering and letting out her grunts her.

“S… 『Jack of Spades hung from the gallows』!”

Again she shouted her brainwashing switch she had planted on Spade, but she got little response from Spade.
Just, as if she was exhausted, the spade that she gasped for air as she stared into the void.
Slowly――I looked back at No. 13.

“…… !”

Red eyes peeking out from between the wildly disheveled bangs, the ghastly glowing red eyes.
Those red eyes full of ferocious intent to kill, like those of a wild beast, seemed to pierce the heart.

Dangerous.

Instinctively, I thought so.

“Porridge… Throw away… You…!”

To that spade’s declaration, to that terrifying life that seemed to sink heavily in the air.
At the moment, in No. 13’s mind, ‘Ah, that’s X….’ The thought passed through my head with a chill like frost.

* * *

“Club, are you okay? Sorry… Are you hurt?”

“It hurts a lot! It really hurts!”

“Ah Okay… Sorry, sorry…. Really… What did I do… I’m really sorry….”

Spade nursed the club with eyes full of regret.
I don’t feel the same strange feeling as before.
The club let out a sigh of relief at the sight of the possessed vengeful spirit having fallen away.

He said he was taking care of her, but to be honest, there was nothing he could do as a spade.
The only minor scars on Club’s body were a minor cut from a broken window and a long, deep wound from running toward No. 13.
Rather than the club avoiding it well, it is thanks to the spade that it still resists while being manipulated, refraining from an attack that could cause deep wounds unconsciously.

“Really… Nonsense. To lay a hand on a colleague, I’m the worst…!”

Spade reproached himself, but it was already past anyway.
The club also had no intention of blaming Spade for this.
More than that, the blood flowing down Spade’s forehead looks painful.

“Ah, it hurts. You are very sick.”

Even so, when the club sighed and scurried, Spade bowed his head sullenly like a guilty sinner.
Anyway, I don’t know what happened, but that’s not what’s important now.

“Once you stand up, the club. I will make sure to make up for this later.”

“… Are you sure?”

“…… I will definitely do it. Really. Promise.”

“Hee hee.”

After applying a special ointment provided by the Hero Association to the deep cut on the thigh and applying a bandage,
The club grabbed the spade’s hand and raised itself up.
Right now, there are only two people on this floor.
No. 13 had already run away like a dart when Spade regained his sanity and threatened.

I must say that judgment is very quick.
Or should I say it’s pathetic to think of running away without looking back?
That does n’t mean he could n’t chase, but Spade, who suddenly came to his senses his, could n’t afford to chase because he was trying to figure out the situation.

It was judged that it was dangerous to pursue No. 13 without knowing why it was manipulated.

So, now I have to make a decision.
Should we pursue the runaway No. 13 as it is, or should we wait for additional troops to arrive later?
For some reason, communication with Apple is not possible now, and the location of No. 13 cannot be identified. In the worst case, you may have already used that escape machine the other day to get out of the department store.

Also, maybe, after chasing No. 13, it might end up being manipulated.
It hurts to miss the 13th again, but after all, considering what-ifs, right now–

“I’ll follow you, senior.”

On the sidelines, the club proposed.
In that resolute gaze, the sparks of Ogi, different from when they were running around a little while ago, shimmered.

“No, Club.”

“Let’s go after him, senior!”

“No. ‘Cause I don’t know what’s going on Let’s prioritize safety for now.”

“Still…!”

Right now the club is clearly at the mercy of emotions.
Last time, I missed #13 right in front of my eyes, and this time too, it must be unacceptable for me to just get messed up and miss it.
However, no matter how much he was swayed by his emotions, he was not without thoughts.

“You saw it a while ago! That guy manipulated Spade-senpai with ‘a certain sentence’! But the sunbaenim overcame it! If you’re feeling anxious, you can at least wear earplugs!”

Beyond that, the conditions to steer.
Apparently, the behavior of No. 13 earlier…
Judging by the fact that he was going to come to the club and bring a handkerchief dipped in some kind of medicine, it was clear that the condition was to inhale the medicine.

And as long as the spade is not manipulated, with the club’s ability, it will be possible to neutralize him from a distance that the thirteenth and the like cannot approach.
It’s certainly possible, the club proudly declared.

In addition, the communication function is completely dead now. In other words, Number 13 would also have no way to ask for outside help.
If so, it is highly likely that he is blocked by the barrier for countering villain terrorism and cannot escape.
Rather, now is the opportunity to arrest No. 13.

However, even after hearing such an opinion, Spade showed a disapproving expression.

“… You saw that guy, no matter how many times he attacked, he didn’t die.
I still don’t know the conditions, and I don’t know what other abilities it might be hiding. It’s dangerous to keep chasing the current situation.”

“If I had been able to do something about it, I wouldn’t have run away. He wouldn’t have been able to use Spade.
Seniors! Now, the odds are clear!”

“Club! I’m speaking as a senior! I don’t know how it was on the island, but the 7th division’s principle is to prioritize safety!”

“I don’t know about that! Even if a limb is cut off, I was only taught to kill and survive by biting off the nape of the enemy!”

“This is the 7th Division!”

In the midst of intense emotions, the eyes of the two collided.
Spade’s red eyes and Club’s black eyes intertwine.

“…… Then I’ll go after you alone.”

“Club!”

“Benefits, you said you would do it! Instead of making up for it, let me do what I want!”

The club faces the spade with burning eyes.
The raging emotions that can not be tolerated leak out without being able to hide at all.

“I can’t forgive him! Number 13 did something suspicious to seniors!”

“I don’t want to see you dare to let a hero run away twice or three times in front of his eyes!”

“A hero always wins! I learned that a hero who can’t win, a hero who can’t appear a villain, has no meaning!”

“Even if this life is at an end, something like a villain… I don’t want to miss out!”

“Because it’s a hero, if it’s a hero, There’s no other ending than sure to win!It shouldn’t be!”

A cry from a desperate heart.
As for what the club said, it’s hard to say they’re wrong. That said, Spade’s own claim is not wrong either.

The club’s mindset is obviously precarious, but it can also be seen as great.
If you become a hero and miss the villain who committed such a large-scale terror, even if the 7th division is not a laughing stock…
At least a drop in reputation is inevitable.

But at the same time, as Spades, who have more experience than their own clubs and a bit more years, they know that sometimes giving up is necessary.
We strive to choose the best possible option, but we know that things don’t always go 100% the way you want them to.

Spade, which has been through many failures,
A club that was touted as excellent and rarely experienced failure.

That unavoidable gap was now revealed in the opinions of the two.
In this situation right now, there is no time to fill that gap.

“…… Okay. In the end, I mean go.”

It seemed that he could not break the opinion of this stubborn junior.
Aside from making amends, educating juniors and looking after them is a senior’s job.

“Great… Okay. Then let’s do this I will help, so be as safe as possible.”

“Seniors…!”

“If Room 13 is in this building, that is.
Once you search, check the signs of #13, and determine that there is an indeterminate element… In that case, don’t say anything and follow my instructions.
This is an order as a senior and as your superior. If you disobey, I will punish you according to the rules.”

“Yes! All right!”

In the end, in a form that the two of them would agree to.
Spade immediately ordered the club to pursue 13 to safety.

… Even in this situation, communication with the outside is still not connected.
