Tora Chiyo stared at Kusakabe, and it wasn't until the other party's back disappeared behind the courtyard wall of the ancestral house that the eldest lady of the Uesugi family withdrew her gaze.

As she promised.

Tora Chiyo honestly stayed in the circle drawn by Kusakabemi with a long knife.

"Is this the 'enchantment'?"

"I'm standing here, can anyone outside see me?"

"Can it defend against attacks?"

Chaotic thoughts began to appear in Toragichiyo's mind.

For those who are new to the Inner World, everyone will be attracted to that mysterious power.

Tiger Chiyo is no exception.

She has her own 'ideals'.

She also has her own 'persistence'.

But this does not prevent her from yearning for the 'inner world'.

Unconsciously, Tiger Chiyo stood there, stunned.

Until—

"Is it here?"

It was hoarse, unpleasant, goosebumps, like the sound of plastic foam rubbing against the ground suddenly sounded.

The distracted Tiger Chiyo was awakened.

As soon as she looked up, she saw a tall, thin figure who looked like a bamboo pole.

His hair is tucked in, his clothes are ragged, and he can't see his appearance clearly.

I can't tell the gender.

The other party staggered in front of the ancestral house, sometimes looking around, sometimes stopping and staying.

There is no doubt that the other party is looking for her.

Immediately, Tiger Chiyo held his breath.

She breathed in the gentlest way possible.

She even wanted to hold her breath if she could.

However, this is not realistic.

But to Torachiyo's relief, Kusakabe's enchantment is quite reliable.

The weirdo was less than 5 meters away, but he didn't see her.

Even, there are a few times when the two are one step away.

This made Toragi Chiyo completely relieved.

She stood there and waited.

Waiting for the return of Kusakabe.

It's just that what she was waiting for was not Kusakabe, but her father and friend Hui Lijing, who had just met.

When Toragichiyo saw his father and friends, the weirdo also saw it.

"Uesugi?"

"Nobody?"

The tall and thin strange man stared at Uesugi and Hui Lijing, commenting like this, and then, without waiting for the two to speak, he let out a low strange laugh and said, "It's okay, if you can't catch Tiger Chiyo, you can catch Uesugi too, after all, you are father and daughter!" ”

With that, the strange man rushed to Uesugi.

"Get out of here!"

Hui Lijing let out a low sigh and pulled the trigger.

Just when she was called a nobody, she wanted to give the other party a shuttle.

However, the faint sense of oppression from the other party made her dare not act rashly.

Having experienced the battlefield, Hui Lijing knows very well what such a sense of oppression represents.

Death!

That's the threat of death!

Every time, in the face of such a threat, Hui Lijing slipped away wisely.

However, this time is different.

Her client was behind her.

She can't be returned.

It can only be hard fighting.

This is the last thing Hui Lijing wants to see.

Therefore, when the other party approached, Hui Lijing pulled the trigger loudly and retreated.

She was telling Uesugi with her actions to leave quickly.

Uesugi is smart.

When he noticed Hui Lijing retreating, he turned and ran.

It's just that both underestimate the speed of the weirdo.

Da-da-da-da!

None of the bullets from the submachine gun hit the weirdos.

Even, you can't even stop the weirdos.

Every bullet landed in the air.

Hui Lijing's eyes shrank.

As a female detective with a rich manager's dream of being a barista, she understands that the strange person in front of her is not faster than a bullet, but just faster than her reflexes.

To put it simply, it's not bullets that the other side dodges.

Rather, the one who pulls the trigger.

And this?

Definitely the worst news!

Because, this proves that once she gets close, she is the one who is crushed.

But......

There's still a chance!

Hui Lijing looked at the other party who was getting closer and closer, adjusted her breathing, and quietly waited for the opportunity.

Click, click!

The trigger was pulled, and there was a hollow sound.

"Quack!"

The weirdo who had been dodging let out a series of scalp-numbing laughs and swooped down on Hui Lijing.

Hui Lijing raised her hand and threw the submachine gun in her hand at the other party, as if she was about to pull out the pistol on her waist.

"It's useless!"

"You nobody!"

The strange man easily dodged, and after seeing Hui Lijing draw her gun, her laughter became more and more rampant.

Submachine guns, he can dodge.

Pistol?

It's simply not worth mentioning.

What's more, how could he possibly give Hui Lijing a chance to draw a gun again?

"Die!"

With a playful tone, the strange man sped up, and appeared in front of Hui Lijing almost instantly.

At this time, Hui Lijing's hand grasped the handle of the gun.

The strange man raised his hand and grabbed at Hui Lijing.

Everything seems to have settled.

However, Hui Lijing's eyes were not the slightest flustered.

She pulled out her gun!

At nearly twice the speed of the previous one, the gun was drawn!

No!

Thorns, to be exact!

That's right!

It's a thorn!

Like a dagger and a dagger.

It's like a spear.

[Spike]!

Originated from the skill created by 'Juggernaut 'Avant' based on the spear in the barracks, as well as some Assassin schools of art with short swords and daggers.

Jason taught Hui Lijing as a reward.

Hui Lijing has been practicing.

And, let [Spike] adapt to itself more.

Because, Hui Lijing knew very well that if she wanted to make [Thrust] powerful in a short period of time, she would not be able to follow the steps.

After all, with her strength, even if she is holding a rumored 'famous knife' or something, it will be difficult to cause harm to the guys in the 'inner world'.

Therefore, she chose to use the 'gun' as a spear, a short sword, and a dagger.

She vividly remembered Jason's words: 'The advent of gunpowder makes everything gradually fair!' ’

After that, she began to use a method similar to [Thrust] to integrate into her usual spear drawing skills.

It was a bit difficult at first.

However, after practicing it a few times, it became easier.

Now, it's time to show the results.

Bang!

The gun went off.

The bullet hit the weirdo in the chest.

The strange man's raised palm froze in midair.

He looked at his chest in disbelief.

He was actually shot?

Hit by a nobody?

A sense of humiliation instantly filled the weirdo's heart, and then, anger.

Unparalleled rage!

"I'm going to eat you!"

The weirdo roared.

An invisible air flow burst out from the other party.

The ragged clothes were blown away in an instant.

The mustard-like hair that was draped down also flew up, revealing the other party's true colors.

Snake.

Hidden beneath that hair was a strange snake head.

It's a bit like a human, and it's a bit like a demon.

Seeing this scene, Hui Lijing was stunned.

Once again, she had a close encounter with the guys in the 'inner world'.

It's just that......

Hui Lijing looked at the other party's chest.

The fine scales are completely exposed to the air without the help of clothing.

An orange-yellow warhead is embedded in it.

The warhead has long been flattened by the force of the impact.

And the other party's scales were also broken a few pieces.

But that's it.

Don't say it's fatal, the other party's injuries are not even minor injuries.

Sure enough, I'm still a little bit close!

Next time, you'll have to use armor-piercing bullets!

If there is a next time!

Hui Lijing sighed in her heart, with a faint self-deprecation.

As for the fear of death?

Naturally, there is.

But it's not very strong.

On the battlefield, Hui Lijing has gradually become accustomed to coexisting with death.

As for survival?

Hui Lijing also thought.

But the mutated [Thrust] just now had already exhausted the strength of her whole body, and even the pull of the trigger was extremely reluctant.

Otherwise, Hui Lijing would definitely finish a shuttle of bullets.

A strong enemy is in front of you.

I can't move on my own.

Then, only death remains.

With this thought, Hui Lijing closed her eyes.

And then—

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out.

Not far away, Uesugi pulled the trigger with his gun in hand.

The bullet hit the half-human, half-snake monster accurately.

"Do you want to die too?"

The half-demon roared.

Uesugi pulled the trigger again and again.

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

Bullets rained down quickly on the half-demon.

The half-demon began to dodge.

Then, they were shot.

Not a single bullet missed the target.

All the bullets were embedded in the body of the half-demon.

Especially in the last two shots, the bullets hit the bullets that were originally embedded in the half-demon's body.

This miraculous scene stunned Hui Lijing.

Make the half-demon jealous to open the distance.

What kind of marksmanship is this?

Uesugi turned out to be a sharpshooter?

No!

The king of guns is right!

Hui Lijing, who was familiar with the use of gunpowder weapons, was shocked from the bottom of her heart.

And the half-demon recovered quickly.

"It's worthy of the Uesugi family."

"Even if it's declining, it has such an ability."

"It's a pity ......"

"You're not using armor-piercing bullets!"

The half-demon sneered.

However, he pulled the distance even further.

And in the enchantment, Tiger Chiyo looked at his father with wide eyes.

She is clear as a daughter.

His own father was not good at shooting at all.

Even firearms are rarely touched.

It's not a disguise.

It's true.

Her father's hobbies were tea, fishing, and reading.

Listen to songs occasionally.

Shoot?

I'm sorry.

Never.

Other words......

Meng?!

Tiger Chiyo, who came up with this answer, couldn't help but look at his father and couldn't help but become strange.

"That's too lucky, isn't it?" X2

When Tiger Chiyo sighed, Uesugi sighed together.

He just shot in a hurry.

Hui Lijing followed him to the ancestral house because of him, and at this time, Hui Lijing was in danger.

He could not remain indifferent.

Even, Uesugi already regretted it a little.

It's not that I regret that my brain is hot.

Tora Chiyo is his daughter, and it is understandable that he is chasing after him.

What he regretted was that he shouldn't have let Hui Lijing come with him.

It is really undesirable to involve innocent people.

Uesugi thought to himself and gestured to Hui Lijing.

But at this time, Hui Lijing was completely exhausted, and standing there was the greatest persistence.

Can't move at all.

This made Uesugi very anxious.

You know your own business.

He just relied on luck to make the half-demon on the other side jealous.

Real ability?

Papier-mâché same.

One poke and it breaks.

"Hmph, want to run?"

"None of you can escape."

With this in his mouth, the half-demon did not rush to Uesugi but to Hui Lijing.

Compared to Uesugi, whose shooting skills made him feel dangerous.

Hui Lijing is undoubtedly a better target.

Although he never had Hui Lijing as a goal at first, now it is different.

It is undoubtedly better to hold Hui Lijing hostage, and then take Uesugi more easily.

Thinking like this, the half-demon did the same.

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

The gunfire rang out again, and the half-demon, who had been on guard, was shot again.

Although they were all insignificant injuries, they made the half-demon more and more suspicious.

He had already predicted Uesugi's prediction.

How can it still be so accurate?

Just when the half-demon hesitated whether to distance himself again.

Click, click!

The sound of the firing pin ringing again appeared.

It's different from the banter when facing Hui Lijing.

This time the half-demon was ecstatic.

No bullets!

A gun king is out of bullets!

What's the difference between that and a toothless tiger?

Thinking of this, the half-demon rushed towards Hui Lijing.

Uesugi's face changed.

The gun in his hand was picked up casually, and there was no prepared magazine at all.

At this time, he couldn't replenish his ammunition, so he could only watch the half-demon get closer and closer to Hui Lijing, and when he saw the half-demon raise his claws, Uesugi felt a dark heart.

Finished!

Of course he knew exactly what the half-demon wanted to do.

In the same way, Tiger Chiyo is also clear.

Therefore, Toragi Chiyo rushed out.

Although Kusakabe Mei told her not to come out, at this time, Tora Chiyo couldn't sit idly by.

has both her and Hui Lijing's friendship.

And because Hui Lijing was involved in such a thing entirely because of her father.

None of this will keep Toragiyo there.

Her philosophy.

Her persistence.

Let her have to stand up.

"Come on!"

After cheering himself up from the bottom of his heart, Tora Chiyo rushed to Hui Lijing.

She wants to push Hui Lijing away from danger.

And then—

She slammed into the half-demon's lower back.

It's not that Tiger Chiyo has changed the direction of running, it's the half-demon who has changed direction.

He's on the lookout for Uesugi!

Although the gun in Uesugi's hand is out of bullets, who says that Uesugi only has one gun?

Therefore, the half-demon directly changed direction on the way to attack.

He walked around to Hui Lijing's side.

He wants to use Hui Lijing as a shield to block Uesugi's design route.

Then, he was hit firmly in the back by Tiger Chiyo.

Bang!

In the dull sound, the half-demon's face changed abruptly.

The core of power that he was hiding in the back waist was hit!

How can it be?

I've done a lot of hiding!

Everyone will think that the core of my power is in the skull!

How was it discovered?

The half-demon turned his head to look at Tiger Chiyo, and his face changed again.

Tiger Chiyo!

It was the target of his arrest this time.

Naturally, he would not admit his mistake.

But according to the information, Tiger Chiyo is just an ordinary daughter.

But will an ordinary lady be able to find the core of his power?

Impossible!

Even some powerful Onmyoji can't do it.

Not to mention any ordinary daughters.

And also!

The other father's godlike shooting skills.

The half-demon pulled back again.

He looked at Uesugi and Tora Chiyo with an unprecedented solemn expression, and after a while, he said slowly-

"I see!"
