Riaru de Reberu Age Shitara Hobo Chītona Jinsei ni Natta Chapter 174

Translator: Ranzan

Anna Juunishima wore a black no-sleeve shirt with hot pants and high-heel sandals . There were sungla.s.ses hanging over her chest, and one bracelets on each arm .

She was slim and tall, and she wore clothes that fit her feminine, fierce demeanor .

Behind her were three young men . They all looked out with sour expressions, one of them was in front of the other two, the driver of the car they were in .

「You…why are you here?」

Taiyou said in a surprised look and voice at these unknown characters .

「Why am I not allowed to be here? This is Juunishima, after all! This here is my headquarters, so there’s going to be one or two of us here, at least . 」

「…I thought you were pursuing Pochi here . 」

He said with a light comment, and answered her with a frowning brow .

「I did, but I wasn’t able to capture her . I heard you had arrived on this island and was thinking that a monster like you would never come, but now time’s out without me even getting close to her . 」

「Really, well, Kohaku fled away well too . 」

「This p.i.s.ses me off, seeing you relaxed about it . Well, thanks to you I’ve been messing up, so they called me here to deal with you . 」

「You’ve been told to defeat me?」

「…」

Anna didn’t answer, but an icy smile spread on her face .

Taiyou laughed at himself at the stupid thing was hearing after he caused all this carnage, but the fact that this girl appeared here meant she was his enemy .

「Natsuno-kun…」

Aoba worrily called his name, as she turned her clinging eyes towards him .

It seemed that the trust and calm that she had previously had been pulled away .

It was to be expected, because before Anna and her group had attacked Natsuno’s group on a trip, and she had been injured .

Even though it wasn’t a big deal, it was certain one would feel worried in front of someone that previously injured you .

Taiyou put power into the arm that held her, as if to tell her 「It’ll be okay」 .

「Okay…」

Aoba nodded, and buried herself under his arm .

He could feel Anna’s presence, and the fear of Aoba from her experiences with Anna .

He felt strongly that he had to protect her .

「Let that girl go, she’s going to get mixed up in this . 」

Anna said provocatively, as Taiyou became enraged .

He strongly regretted not being able to protect her the last time she was attacked by Anna…there was something like trauma left in Aoba .

There was no reason to leave her just because Anna told him, no, in fact he would stay with her because Anna told him .

「No . 」

「Such a conceited att.i.tude, are you really okay with that? I think any REAL man would want to make sure his girl is safe . 」

「Yeah, me too . 」

「Then do it . 」

「I already did . 」

Anna scowled at him .

She took a sudden breath at Taiyou’s quick response, as her expression of surprise turned into a sour expression .

His strange agreement with her had frustrated her .

What the reason for her frustration was…was something Taiyou declined to ponder about .

(No reason to think about it now . )

There was only one thing for him to do now, show Aoba that he had the power to keep her from being touched, that was it .

There was nothing to think about but that .

「Well, too bad then . 」

Anna said with a sigh .

「Big sis, are you really going to do this?」

The driver of the car asked . He earnestly asked her, as if he seemed a bit lost .

「Yeah . 」

「But…」

「Just shut up . 」

Anna said, and the other three were quiet .

He ignored the standing Anna, and looked at the three young guys, matching their gazes and taking a step ahead .

Taiyou glared at them, took out his weapon, and placed it on his back .

Taiyou’s power, knowing that he was invulnerable to ranged attacks meant that he prepared for a close one .

「Here goes . 」

As soon as the others heard Anna’s call to attack, they all went forward to attack Taiyou .

Taiyou took a step back . He didn’t face straight forward, but pulled his body back and hid Aoba behind him .

After putting his right side out as his furthermost point, he gazed carefully at an approaching blade and dodged the tip .

He went to counterattack as the attack went by, but where he was about to step in was stashed at from the other side .

Left and right, his vision scattered to the front .

The guys’ combinations were a barrage seeking to hem him in .

He took a step back .

They followed up with another attack, as he ran back over the stone tiles with Aoba in arm .

「Ug . 」

He tripped on the edge of one tile and lost his balance . Then one weapon scratched the edge of his nose, and he almost was unable to avoid it, while the end of his nose split open in a trail of new blood .

「Natsuno-kun!」

「I’m fine! It’s a scratch!」

「We’ll give you a fatal blow!」

「Now, die!」

「Roaaaah!」

They saw their chance as they dove in for a new attack . The three all attacked them with their weapons at once .

Cold flashes of light chased both Taiyou and Aoba .

「Don’t mess with meeeee!!」

Suddenly, the air was filled with the sound of roaring yells .

They both attacked as Taiyou shot out his right arm .

The two swords scratched his cheeks, while the last sword was caught by his arm .

「Wha?」

As he held onto the blade of the sword, he put power into bending it .

The sword was bent until the guy holding it let go .

Taiyou ignored the pain in his hand and spun the sword around as his own, and swung it .

Then, he stabbed out at the fellows that had attacked him .

Then, he stabbed out at the fellows that had attacked him .

「Ah!」

At that moment, Taiyou’s movements stopped .

His arm was spun around somehow from the back .

When he looked, somehow Anna had gotten behind him and had grabbed Aoba and spun her and Taiyou as she pulled Taiyou’s arms behind his back .

With Anna’s power she could only pretend she was powerful in that instant .

However, as it was a surprise move, he didn’t understand what had happened and was slow to defend .

「Now get him!」

「Raoooohhhh!」

At Anna’s command, the other guys came charging at Taiyou .

He didn’t think that Anna would sacrifice herself to make that attack .

「Huff…pant…」

Taiyou was nearly out of breath, and it wasn’t that his breath was hoa.r.s.e, but he had also taken quite a bit of damage .

「I never thought…anyone would make a move like that on me…」

Anna’s strategy…he was taken aback by her unexpected strategy of self sacrifice .

He thought it was an impossible move for her to do, he had been struck in the side of the head, and was stabbed in the shoulder by a sword .

All of Anna’s troops now were knocked out .

In Taiyou’s counterattack, the three guys were face-up on the ground, while Anna was holding a broken rib and spitting up blood .

It was a dirty win for Taiyou, but he had taken some damage as well .

「Natsuno-kun, are you okay?」

「I’m fine…and you? Okay?」

「Yeah…totally…」

「Is that so?」

Taiyou nodded, and walked towards Anna .

「We’re pa.s.sing through . 」

「Go ahead, you can see we can’t stop you . 」

「…yeah . 」

He breathed deeply, as Taiyou spurred on his damaged body and pa.s.sed by Anna on the side with Aoba next to him .

He breathed deeply, as Taiyou spurred on his damaged body and pa.s.sed by Anna on the side with Aoba next to him .

As he pa.s.sed, Anna called out to him .

「Wait…you’re not going to kill me off?」

「Purpose and means…there’s no reason for me to . 」

「You don’t hate me?」

「Aoba is untouched . 」

「So that was the result?」

「Results are important . 」

Anna suddenly fell quiet as Taiyou and Aoba walked in through the door .

「Where next?」

「Um, the email says climb the stairs to the second floor . 」

「And from there?」

「Go in the door that’s decorated the most tacky . 」

「This one . 」

As Aoba led him with her smartphone in one hand, he followed, and they progressed to the center of the building .

「Ugh…」

He became dizzy .

His arms fell behind his back as he stood, and Aoba came out from under him .

「Natsuno-kun, are you really okay?」

「Don’t worry, it’s no big deal . Do we go left next? Or right?」

「Um, right . 」

「Okay!」

They turned right as Aoba said .

Taiyou’s feet stopped as the corridor opened up .

There stood the next group of enemies waiting .

「Saegusa…Tsuk.u.mo . 」

In the back of his mind, he had expected this after meeting Anna, but it seemed that he had brought the three daughter/mother pairs with him to fight as well .
