Chapter 6

……

(I knew I was smellin’ that okama bastard. Looks like he’s hidin’, but his scent is totally givin’ him away.)

(Hn? I hear something—Footsteps? They’re comin’ this way.)

…!

(Damn, it’s that ketchup bastard. Looks like he’s tryna hide, but his movements are loud and all over the place.)

(Winner winner chicken dinner~ Guess I’ll be takin’ one of ‘em out right here, right now.)

(Can’t say I’m a huge fan of pickin’ on small fry, but y’only got yourselves to blame for settin’ foot on my hunting grounds!)

(…? Just now—There’s no wind, but the grass is movin’ a li’l…?)

(! Shit! Is Fushimi tryna get at me…?!)

(To think you would sense me at this distance. Well done, Oogami-sama. But you were just a second too slow—This is game over.)

! Oogami look ooooooooout!!

…Guh—!

Eeep! Morisawa-senpai took the hit for Koga-chan to protect him?!

(Gh… I never thought Morisawa-sama would react in such a way…)

(That I of all people would make such a mistake. It seems I had better withdraw for now.)

Fushimi, I’m not finished with you!

Dammit—He got away!

Hey, ya moron~! Morisawa-senpai! Can ya hear me?!

…Ghh. O–Oogami… I can’t… I can’t go o…n… It was… a pleasure to… fight alongside… you… Ugh…

This is so cinematic it’s moving me to tears… Uuu. You’re so cool, Morisawa-senpai!

Geez, you ain’t fit for a survival game at all~!

Don’t you go fallin’ for it, too. The hell is this, some B-list movie? We’re s’posed to be in the middle of a war here!

Yup! But this kind of development really gets my blood pumping! It sure is a shame I lost, but it was still a good experience! I had fun! Ha ha ha… ☆

I really feel for those guys in your unit you’re always draggin’ into this kinda stuff…

Oh my, I had fun too, though! It’s nice to do stuff like this every once in a while. I couldn’t do anything of this sort with Knights, after all.

Well, I guess that’s game over for me, then. I’ll go ahead and step off the field. I’m supposed to move to the student council room, right?

That’s right. I’ll miss you, Morisawa-senpai… Let’s meet up later ♪

Sure. Good luck out there, you guys! And farewell ☆

Ahh~ And he’s gone…

“Morisawa Chiaki: Eliminated.”

Oh? Tenshouin-senpai’s voice just came out of nowhere?

Hnn? Oh, is it comin’ from that drone?

Oh, I get it. He’s making an announcement to get the players up to speed.

Although it doesn’t do much when two of the remaining three players are right here.

Ohh, what should I do now though? I’ve already let you see me, so I doubt I can go back into hiding…?

Ya want me to head off in the other direction or somethin’? Wait, before you go runnin’ off, do somethin’ about that perfume ya got on. I’ll be able to find ya wherever you go.

Huhh? Are you saying you followed my scent? You really are just like a puppy…

Shut it. I just got a better nose than most.

Then it wouldn’t even matter if we split up, anyway. And now I’m scared to keep playing such a morbid game.

What if I made a mistake and got a scratch on my flawless skin because I kept playing?

Oh, I know! Then let’s do this ♪

You’d feel bad about shooting an unarmed opponent, right Koga-chan?

So I’ll run away as fast as I can, and in about ten seconds, you can just shoot me!

If you can hit me when I’m running away, it can count as your win. How’s that? It’s a good idea, don’t you think?

My legs or your aim—Which do you think will win? C’mon, let’s play ♪

Fufun ♪ Fine by me. You’re on!

Fufu, now that’s what I like to hear. Well then, come at me!

O~ne, two~…

(Oh~ Exactly what I’d expect from someone in the track club. He’s damn fast~)

(He’s usin’ his head too, runnin’ in a zigzag to avoid my line of fire. That definitely makes things harder.)

Ei~ght, ni~ne…

(But yanno, all those tricks’re wasted on me… ♪ Eat shit!)

…Ouch! Hang on?! It feels like the sensor just zapped me? It hurts!

What’s that? That how it’s s’posed to work?

Looks like it. I didn’t hear anything about that! Urrgh!

But still, you’re pretty good, Koga-chan. I didn’t think you’d actually hit me.

Fufun, like stealin’ candy from a baby! Guess I win this time ♪

“Narukami Arashi: Eliminated.”

Oh no~ Looks like I’ve lost… Well, whatever. I’ll take my leave and head up to the student council room, then.

Good luck, Koga-chan. I’ll be cheering you on ♪
