Perhaps this man is even willing to risk his own life for his own enjoyment.
Such crazy sensibility.
Even from the few conversations I had with him, I could tell that this man was abnormal.
“Don’t hold it against me.”
I quickly pointed the index finger of my right hand at the man.
The target is the chest.
I’ve seen it in some anime a long time ago.
If you’re not a good shot, aim for the chest, not the head. —That’s a more reliable way to kill.
Don’t waste your time thinking about it.
Just pull the trigger.
“Hah… hah…”
I can’t … shoot it.
Even at a time like this, the unpleasant feeling after firing a [bullet] remains in my head.
“What, …you’re not going to do anything, then, I’ll kill you?”
I don’t want to get killed.
But I don’t … have the guts to fire a [bullet] at a human being.
“Oh, my God, I think I’m really gonna kill you.”
That’s the moment the man does that.
“—icebreaker.”
By the time I felt the chill, the man was already trapped in the ice.
“Owen, you’re a real troublemaker, or should I say troublemaker?”
I turned around to the direction of the voice and saw Chris-sensei.
I wasn’t counting on the doctor to come.
But I had … that kind of trust that Chris-sensei would come through for me.
“Trouble comes of its own accord.”
I responded with relief at Chris-sensei’s unchanging tone.
“I didn’t think you’d get into trouble on the day of the finals, or maybe you got into trouble because it was the day of the finals, but whatever the case, hey, Owen, get the hell out of here.”
The doctor said without taking his gaze off the ice that trapped the man.
Immediately after that, the sound of crispy ice cracking echoed in the warehouse, and the man came out of the ice.
“That’s quite a … pleasant greeting.”
The man squinted his narrow, crescent-shaped eyes even more.
“It’s going to take some doing to take this guy down, so get far away from him while you can.”
I nodded at Chris-sensei’s words.
Even if I were here, I’d be a liability.
Let’s leave it to Chris-sensei here.
Then I carried Monet on my back.
“You think I’m going to let you get away with this? I won’t. Once I’ve decided to kill someone, —”
“Shut up— ice cube!”
The man was thrown into the air by a huge block of ice created by Chris-sensei.
