Chapter 365 – Episode 41. Tired of Department Store Shopping and Intrigue.
“Okay, I’ll leave as soon as you send me the materials.”
Shimokawa Beiren hung up on her phone call from Terue Daigo. She then stood up and opened her closet. A black full bodysuit was hanging in the corner of her closet.
At first glance, it looked like a thin leather suit, but it was a high-end product that supported muscle strength, blocked pistol bullets, prevented damage from swords, and was heat-resistant and protected from flames. It was called a lightweight combat suit G-019, but Airen Shimokawabe just called it a combat suit.
Grumbling, rumbling…
Shimokawa Beiren took off the clothes she was wearing. She was resting in her room after dinner, so she was wearing a light short-sleeved t-shirt and short shorts, but she even took off her underwear and was completely naked without anything on. Shimokawabe Airen’s naked body was beautiful. Although she did not have a voluptuous body, her naked body, trained as a swordsman, was enough to seduce any man.
She had to take off all her clothes and underwear because she had to wear nothing underneath to receive the combat suit’s strength support.
Soon Shimokawa Beiren, dressed in a battle suit, came out of her room. Shimokawa Beiren, who came down to the training hall of Cheongshimgwan, slightly lowered the helmet of her samurai armor in one corner.
Slam! After the sound, the secret space was revealed without a sound. It was a secret warehouse where she kept equipment used for missions like this that came up sometimes. The murder weapon could not be left where students could see it, so it was placed in a secret warehouse.
“Kurotsuru (black 鶴) would be good today.”
The Kurotsuru is a katana that Airen Shimokawabe mainly uses when working on dark nights like this time. It is a sword characterized by a dark black blade that does not reflect any light. Perhaps because it was suitable for actual combat, it was the sword that Airen Shimokawabe used the most among the swords he collected.
Shimokawa Beairen took Kurotsuru and her spare daggers and throwing weapons like shurikens, then fastened her shurikens to various places on her suit and clipped the daggers to the sides of her ankles.
After completing her battle preparations, Shimokawa Beairen picked up her Kurotsuru and headed to the car park at the back of the Cheongshin Pavilion. There was a black motorcycle parked in the parking lot.
Crash.
After Shimokawa Beiren mounted her Kurotsuru on her motorcycle, she rode the motorcycle. She then entered her destination into the GPS mounted on the dashboard in the middle of the motorcycle handlebar.
Shimokawa Beiren, wearing her bike helmet that completely covered her face, took off straight away. Her destination was an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Fujinomiya City (富士宮市) in the south of Miya City. It was a remote place where no one visited, and it was a place where a group of subversive people could be found.
Shimokawa Beiren rode a motorcycle, and before she knew it, she arrived at a road where she could see the entrance to the abandoned factory. Perhaps faithful to the concept of an abandoned factory, the main gate was closed with a rusty chain and a rusty lock. If you see the front door locked with a rusty chain and padlock that shows no signs of being used by anyone, you wouldn’t think that anyone frequented it.
‘Then there must be a back door that is frequently used.’
Airen Shimokawabe flew the drone that was in the trunk of his motorcycle high and checked the view of the abandoned factory. She is not a drone that only takes pictures of visible scenes, but is a low-noise tracking drone equipped with limited AI, so it can detect not only cameras such as CCTV but also footprints on the ground, so it can detect escape routes and entrance roads.
‘There is a door that is mainly used on the west side.’
You can go to the side road next to the main gate. Airen Shimokawabe retrieved the drone and rode his motorcycle. She ran and threw a throwing star, destroying the CCTV in the middle.
Because it was disguised as an abandoned factory, there weren’t that many CCTVs. There were only two, one next to the main gate and one in the middle of the road.
When I checked the entrance that the enemies mainly used, which I had seen in advance, it turned out to be a gap disguised as a natural collapse.
There was no need to destroy the CCTV since we had come this far. Looking at it with a drone, there is no other way to use it than this collapsed entrance, so if you start down this road and kill everyone you come across, you won’t be able to escape.
Shimokawabe Airen came into the entrance holding Kurotsuru. She saw someone holding a tool box, as if he had come to fix the CCTV, so she quickly approached him and cut him vertically, as if running.
The toolbox man couldn’t even scream properly and was cut in half like something out of a cartoon or movie and died. As Shimokawabe Airen passed by, the sound of internal organs popping out was heard, followed by the sound of a corpse being split into two sides falling in opposite directions.
“Hey! Yamada!! What is the CCTV problem?”
One asked as he exited the abandoned factory building, calling out the dead man’s name with his pistol in his hand. Of course, what is shown is a tragedy. I saw Yamada cut in half, dead, and a woman wearing a motorcycle helmet and a tight black combat suit holding a katana.
“Hey, hey! “What is it?”
The man seems to be a veteran who has fought in World War II. As soon as he sees Airen Shimokawabe, he quickly pulls out a pistol and shoots Airen Shimokawabe. But he didn’t even fire a few shots and his eyes couldn’t help but grow bigger.
A total of five bullets were fired by the man. Shimokawabe Airen slashed or deflected all the bullets with a swing of his sword. Moreover, the last of the five bullets bounced right between the man’s eyes.
Of course, the man who was shot between the eyes had no choice but to collapse. Even though it was a ricochet, it was so powerful that it pierced his skull and destroyed his brain.
Airen Shimokawabe, who had moved leisurely until now, began to move a little more cautiously and quickly. Since the sound of gunshots was heard, most people in the factory would be preparing for battle.
Shimokawa Beiren, who entered the factory, immediately rolled over and threw several of his stars. An opponent holding a gun could do something with a sword, but those using explosive weapons such as grenade launchers could suffer great damage even while wearing a combat suit, so commendations were given to those holding cannons larger than guns.
Ta-ta-ta-tang!!
The sparks coming out as the bullet hit the floor and wall were shining as if they were following the trajectory of the rolling body, and the loud scream after being hit by the throwing star also followed the sound of the flames.
Hidden behind her cover her, Shimokawa Beiren ran towards the guy with the rifle standing closest to her.
Ta-ta-tang!
For Shimokawa Beiren, dodging her bullets was easy. It was easy for her to dodge bullets fired by one person, as she combined her incredible physical strength with the basic rule of staying in line with the muzzle of the gun. If several people set fire to it, it would be difficult to avoid it, but at that time, there was a method of their own.
As Shimokawa Beairen, who was approaching as close as her ghost her, raised her sword her, the man who was shooting at her raised his gun and tried to block her sword her. But Shimokawa Beairen did not care and just struck down her sword.
Suddenly!
The rifle’s body and neck, made of hard composite steel, were cut together by Kurotsuru’s blade. Shimokawa Beiren grabbed her severed head and threw it into the most crowded place.
“This bitch… !”
One man, who thought she was just trying to taunt them by throwing her colleague’s head, looked at her Shimokawa Beairen and spewed insults at her, but was soon forced to silence her. Because he saw the face of his dead her comrade her. There was a grenade in his colleague’s mouth.
“Oh, shit… !”
Kwaaang!
The grenade exploded along with his head, and the enemies in the radius were annihilated. Even while everyone was distracted by the explosion and aftereffects of the grenade, Shimokawa Beiren calmly reduced her number one by one.
After the chaos created by the grenade, few people remained. The Emperor of Japan, which numbered dozens, was reduced to only about seven by one woman.
“Crazy bitch!”
“What a crazy bitch… There was just no way to practice combat in Japan other than this method.”
Shimokawa Beiren inside her helmet she responded with a smile to one insult. No matter how many combat organizations like PMC became more numerous, there was no place that hired prosecutors like Shimokawa Beairen. That is, until she was hired by Daigo Terue, who only knew her own skills.
In order to enter the world of advanced swordsmanship, practical training was essential. No matter how good a swordsman you are, if you don’t have experience in actual combat, you can only die from a single pistol bullet. Airen Shimokawabe wanted to go beyond that limit.
“There isn’t much left, so I’ll finish it all at once.”
Because the eyes of her enemies were full of fear, Shimokawa Beiren, who was too lazy to chase after the fleeing enemies scattered in all directions, decided to use the season of her own school her, Kashima Kiichi Shinto-ryu.
Kashimaki Ichi Shindo-ryu (鹿島鬼一神道流) Ichiji Buntenji (一字分天地)
What Airen Shimokawabe did was simply a horizontal cut. However, the result was different from a typical horizontal cut. At that moment, an illusion appeared before everyone’s eyes as if heaven and earth were separating, and blood spurted out from the waists of the seven enemies at the same time.
Now there was only one person left alive. The man who appeared to be the captain had his back cut by the previous technique, but he was not seriously injured. In order to find out her information, Shimokawa Beiren touched her.
“If you answer the questions I ask, you will die comfortably.”
“What if you don’t answer?”
Shimokawa Beiren took off her motorcycle helmet her. As she narrows her eyes, Shimokawa Beiren’s eyes shine magically. She and she smiles broadly.
“I won’t be able to die.”
The leader of the Jin Japanese Emperor’s army eventually spit out everything he knew and chose to die by having his head cut off.
