Chapter 33 Hunting Time

In contrast to the bloodstained entrance, the second floor’s passage retained the mansion’s majesty. Although, it’s still in a better category if you don’t mind the axes that are pierced the wall and the blood footprints from the blood that’s sticking to Deris and Haruna’s soles.

「Iron axe on the wall, what a strange hobby.」

「Indeed. Is it Tron’s hobby? I don’t understand what rich people think.」

The two of them walk through the passage while saying whatever they want, not realizing that they were the source of all evil. Itou, who was carried by Deris, seemed to be suffering. It was as if he was lamenting the absence of the tsukkomi role.

Setting aside the iron axe, when they walked while watching the precious ornaments that are displayed alongside the wall, they surprisingly arrived right away at their destination.

「We arrived. I can hear their voices from behind this door.」

「Hmm… I thought that they were planning a surprise attack on the way, but it ended with nothing happened. What a let-down. This Itou-kun here didn’t seem to notice it right away either―― ahh, so all the rooms are soundproofed.」

「Soundproof? Do they also do karaoke?」

「… They might even sing depending on the place. Well, I guess they use these rooms to show their trashy desires to the fullest. From a security point of view, that’s the worst. They still haven’t noticed it even when we made so much noise at the entrance. That’s not a laughing matter.」

If all the rooms are soundproofed, how long does it take to contact everyone when there’s a raid just like this time? Considering the effort to go around each room, you can see how defective the structure is. Perhaps because it was said to be a new organization, the Ash Rope was poorly organized.

「Nuh-uh? I don’t really understand, but now we can take them by surprise!」

「Well, yeah. I’m just hoping that they weren’t in the middle of ‘it’ when we open the door.」

「……?」

As Haruna tilted her head, Deris somehow patted her on the head.

「Haru, I certainly saw that attitude of not hesitating to kill the bad guys. But, if the bad guys were your school friends, would you be able to kill them too?」

「Hmm… it depends on the extent of the crime, but if they are trying to kill me, I won’t show them mercy. I live my life seriously after all! I’m not going to die against bad guys!」

「… Yeah, that’s the spirit.」

Deris patted Haruna’s head strongly. His mouth relaxed just slightly as if he was happy with his own disciple’s disposition.

「Wah! Shishō, it hurts!」

「Now, the injection of the master power is over. Do it with grandly.」

「Yes!」

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

「That damn Itou is late… is he eating some grass in the way?」

「Hey, Suzuki. Who was the one who kicked him out of the room because we are going to have some fun?」

When Suzuki blurted out, Tanaka criticized him while laughing. They seemed to still play the card game to kill time. However, the ones playing are only three of them and they are all naked on top. Yes, the three of them are killing time, waiting for their turn. They are waiting for Satou to finish his ‘deed’ with the slave away from the table. Well, the distance doesn’t change that much since he’s doing it in the same room.

「Hey, can you do it fast? If not, Itou will return before we get our turn.」

「Gyahaha, then we just need to show it to him! Showing how manly we are unlike him!」

「Right, he looked like a monkey the other day. Seriously!」

The laughter of four people echoed throughout the room. One of them, a girl, was trembling and kept her mouth shut. She prayed that this will end soon.

「Well, that girl seems to be a virgin, which rare around this area, so be gentle.」

「Hey, there’s no way Satou will listen to your demand…」

「Well, it’s a passing mark if she doesn’t faint, right?」

「…… You wanna bet?」

「That’s interesting. Then, I’m betting that she will faint. Satou, I leave the rest to you!」

「Yeah, leave it to me.」

「Hey, you! I was going to bet on that…!」

「Gyahaha, early bird wins! Gyaha――」

――――Bang!

「Gya, hah!?」

Suddenly, the room’s door blew inward and hit the back of Tanaka’s head, who was sitting in front of it. The weight of the door that was blown away at a considerable speed was heavier than normal and it had enough power to make Tanaka fainted.

「The one who got hit was―― Tanaka, huh?」

「It was not the rumored Satou-kun, huh? Well, that still can be considered lucky. Looking at the situation――」

Deris peeks into the interior of the room through the gap in the pace where the door is missing. There’s one unfortunate Tanaka who got hit by Haruna surprise attack, two people dumbfoundedly sitting in the chairs, one guy pushing a girl down, and one girl crying as she is being pushed down by that guy.

「――It’s safe. Oh well, I’m glad we made it in time.」

「It’s out!」

‘What are you saying!’ Haruna objected to Deris.

「It’s okay, they haven’t seen her important part yet. It was just barely safe. The rest is up to you, Haru.」

「After all, you won’t meddle in. It’s okay, I can do this.」

While sighing, Haruna looks ahead. There are four monsters in front of her and one hostage. She switches her head and becomes a hunter.

On the other hand, the delinquents seem to be turning pale. That’s no wonder, they have a bitter memory of completely being beaten by Haruna. They are also one of the few people who know about her abnormality, which can only be recognized when you are facing her. This is the reason that they didn’t try to get involved with her after losing to her.

「I-it’s Haruna, Katsuragi Haruna…!?」

「Hey, wait a minute! W-why the hell are you here!?」

Suzuki and Takahashi stand up from their seats while feeling something hot in their throat. Anyone can understand that they are shaking. Deris, who doesn’t know what’s going on, has a question mark on his face, but he’s letting it slide since it’s a good opportunity.

「You bastard, don’t be terrified! I know what you are, Haruna. You are completely weak in this world and branded as incompetent. T-this is a good opportunity. Let’s vent all of the grudges we’ve accumulated until now!

「Y-yeah, you are right! Setting aside the previous time, this time we are stronger than you! We’ll make you pay for it with your poor body!」

「W-well, you have a good look, so that’s acceptable…!」

Delis was honestly getting sick of their common lines. No hunter would lend an ear to the monster’s opinion. For this reason, Haruna is not listening to their useless words. If Itou, who got knowledge from his stalker-like intelligence gathering, was here without losing consciousness, they can know that these several days were enough for Haruna to grow, but it would be impossible for Satou and the others to know about it since they were avoiding Haruna.

More importantly, Deris was thinking that he would be very grateful if they took the hostage as a shield and treated it as a dirty tactic since it would become training for Haruna, but they don’t even show such indication. Looking at the girl, who was being pushed down, took a distance from Satou while wiping her tears, ‘Ahh, now I can only put expectations on their fighting strength,’ Deris leaked a long sigh.

「He-hehehe…! Haruna, I will show you something good. I have a special power that only I have, a unique skill, 『Red Tail』!」

‘I’m happy that you unexpectedly have a unique skill, but please, don’t just disclose it yourself,’ Deris begged from the bottom of his heart.
