"Just stall him long enough~, and don't die okay? i have my finger prints all over your body" [Nashi]
"..... easy for you to say that, i'm the one that betting my life on the line here" [Riku]
".. all right, bye~ just survive on your own, i hope you die a miserable death in this place" [Nashi] yup, just provoke her a bit,stand up and...
"Wait!!, okay i'm doing it.. jeez i'll haunt you down if you're running away" [Riku]
this girl doesn't think that she has a chance to win at all huh, well even i'm not sure i can beat fireball man without knowing how much fuel he has
"yeah,yeah just go outside and distract him... oi, for a reminder, don't say anything like chase after me or hitting your ass to provoke him, trust me, that person isn't an idiot" [Nashi]
"grrh..,yes.. just let me think some other way for a sec" [Riku] .... so she's planning to doing that
"ah.. he's already on that street, so we're back to where we begin huh" [Nashi] damn, this feels like fighting some boss battle
".... you're not going to kill him right?" [Riku] you still don't want to kill him!? he's chasing after your life isn't he?
"no, neither one uf us will do the killing, ah, makes your phone in vibration mode first" [Nashi]
she's doing everything i said , good girl , good girl .. i suddenly have an urge to keep a dog as a pet.
"yup, now go outside and distract him!" [Nashi]
i raise the hood from my hoodie that she wears, explaining some things to her and push her away from the alley, and starts to do prepare of what i'm going to do,even though there's not much. of course i'm not explaning at all to her
.... i wonder why no one from that bar coming out to check things, ah she's already met him
the time is 11:46.. 14 more minutes
"oi!! you over there, i'm done running, i'm going to take you head on!" [Riku]
hee~ good one girl
all right step 1 : check things first! i sneak into the alley and start to see whats going on
"Summon : cat!" [Riku] yep,making a showy appearance! , and...
"rrrrrawrr!" yes.. a cat right? so a cheetah should be fine too? 1.3m length cheetah appeared in front of her, more precise walking from the alley, since i told her to summon tiger or lion before but she can't do it, when i tell her to summon cheetah, and it can. ah looks like it's Kuro but in the form of cheetah because she seems to understands what i say and act like her, well if fireball men can be killed by this things will be fine.i also told her about cougar, and she can do this 3 more times then
right now besides her there's a cheetah, white skin with black spot , in her back there's a black long strip, and this times there's also a gem around her belly, her eyes has blue colour
"hoo~ i know it you two aren't normal like me either" [Fireball men]
.... to calm!, as expected from the one that can shoot fireball, but from what he's say he never met another player eh,anyhow kuro charge straight at him, as soon kuro leave her side
a fire ball appeared on his hand, hee~ he doesn't launch it from the air but by throw it from his hand, how can i not notice this before
Fireball man throw the fireball straight to Akamine.. i see, he notices that Akamine can't fight , she's now just standing there surprised by what fireball man do,this is betting but, i step outside from the alley and throw the trash cover, nearly hit her head, yup.. as i thought
the fire doesn't explode or giving impact , looks like after he throws it, the fireball just engulfed the first thing it touch in fire, the trash cover that i throw flying straight in fire, ah.. the power isn't enough to reach him, ... he can evade kuro maw to.. and throw another fireball at kuro, the figure of cheetah and smell of burning flesh can be heard and the cheetah corpse just dissapear like that... i hope he doesn't level up or anything like that, anyhow this is his 6 times for using fireball
the 3 point that i learn
1: he can creates fireball, but he must throw it by his hand, that's what the leather gloves for
2. the fireball doesn't give impact, well considering fire doesn't have mass, and will burn anything it touches.
3. that means as long the fireball touch any thing beside your body, for starter that trash cover it'll get repelled
now.. the three question
1. if there's another kind of ability that he can use? like fire spear or something like that, and how many times he can use it?
2. can the fire be put off? if not, this will one hit kill or fatal attack
3. does he can only creates one fire ball at a time?
"...ah the other guy right, i see.. you looks the same as me" [Fireball man]
"eh.. not really, anyway i'm taking my leave, there's no way we can beat you, looks like you'll need to kill her before escaping from this place right, don't worry i don't see your face and i will not tell anyone that you killed her" [Nashi] yup there's no way to beat him with only that information
"eeeh!!!? you betray me? what about the plans?" [Riku] she turned back at yelled at me this girl.. i push her body away , ber back touching the iron bar from the store on her back
......... thank god i pushed her hard,as soon as i kick her, i jump back and the place where we standing before engulfed in fire... ho~ the fire spreading into the line? anyhow this is the 7 times but both of us got separated, yup a good chance
"oioi, woman, don't clings to me like that, there's someone that want to kill you right there, my advice : dont keep your head away from him,and just running, anyway i'm off" [Nashi] .... looks like there's some kind of delay? he can killed kuro in just split second ,why don't he attack again, maybe his ability reach the limit? anyway after i say this i ran away just like that
".......graaah.. Summon : cat!!!" [Riku] (i should've not trust him!!!!, ... no it's not really his problem, but!!)
this time and black cougar appeared from my side
"Kuro bite him!" i point my finger and told kuro to bite him, right just 2 more time that i can use this , ah somehow i know that after the type is being killed , i can't summon it again in 24hours.. this is really weird feeling that i have
"rrrrrrawr!!" [Kuro]kuro running straight at him , the body if bigger than cheetah,maybe around 2m, wait kuro! don't kill him

Kuro charge and leap toward him... that man dodge it again!? , he takes a knife from his inside jacket and running straight to me! eek.. ah i just close my eyes, and surrendering myself to the fate...
eh? nothing happened? i open my eyes and ahh!! kuro somehow managed to bite him in the shoulder!... should i feel happy?.. i really have mixed feeling right now
"nrgh! this cat" [Fireball men] the man position now laying on the ground , while Kuro managed to chew his shoulder... no.. he managed to stab kuro in the eye... just like this kuro loosened her bite and the man keeps to stabbing kuro until she's dissapeared again
......... i'm a fool, i should've have help her when she's pinning him down.. the fireball man now standing with blood falling from his shoulder , ah i can see his face, he's only have one eye, looks like in 40-50s, there's a horseshoe moustache around his mouth.. no good.. my legs loosing its power, and i drop down just like this, ah i just realize that the line of fire already gone... i should've run.. ugh i hit my legs while crying to make it move but no good
in desperation, i activate summon cat again , the persian version of kuro came out... ugh i have no idea what kind of cat that i can use, kamiya-san just told me about cheetah and cougar.. i should've not trusted him...
anyway persian kuro try to charge at him but he's to small, the fireball man just kick her right after she jumps and she's flying toward the iron bar on my back, her body splatered right on my left side and she's gone just like that...
*hiks* last time... ah no good he's already running toward me, and i close my eyes again while just sitting still and covering my head while thinking what did i do to deserve this....... eh? nothing happening again?
the man figure, is gone? eh? EH!? how? why? what happened?
"what happenend!?" [Fireball man]
eh...? the sound come from... above!?
he's flying higher than the building around me? eh.....!? and just like that he's dropping to the ground, ah he looks like manage to reduce the damage from the fall but i can see one of his knee bent in the wrong way, and i can see bone coming out from his right arm, some of his blood gotten into my face and my clothes.. no i can feel weird texture,like a jelly on my face
"*cough*..." [Fireball men]
oh he's still alive and coughing some blood out, urgh... some of his ribs came out.. ugh
*blergh* *sniff* ... ugh.. i throw up some of my dinner
"oh.. things looks over~"
"wha!?... *sniff* ... *blergh*" [Riku] an annoying but familiar voice... urgh.. when i looked up on my right there's a figure of man , man-bun hair, wearing a navy-blue jacket and a phone on his ear
"y-yes... is this hospital!?,erhm... there's a man suddenly jumped out, ... no sorry i don't know , ah, erm.. hm.. yeah we are in the GG shopping district, hm, yes.. sho-should i helped him? there's a lot of blood coming from him.. eh?no o-okay" [Nashi]
"right everything is done~, oi fireball man you're still alive right? ambulance is coming, cmon i watch the way you landed, i do some parkour you know, there's no way normal man can manage to do landing like that without preparation, and heck , thats a fall 20m from the ground, normal people should be in pass out in shock right now" [Nashi]
*cough* "....little devil" [Fireball man] ho.. he seems trying to take his knife from the ground, i just walk and kick the knife away...that's a combat knife.. the model is pretty cool
"aw... i prefer little angel, c'mon i just called an ambulance for you, ah should i called a cop too? " [Nashi]
*cough* *cough* ... [Fireball man] ... looks like he's not gonna telling anything, well whatever, from his eye, i know that he's a guy that don't care for his own life, i have that same looks around 4 years ago
" at least tell me your real name, i'll pray for you" [Nashi]
"...*cough*.. *cough*.." [Fireball man]
"then is there someway to get her out from this area? it's already mid night, you know if i were you, i'm going to set my watch at 12am every day, you must already know that there are limit from that fireball right?" [Nashi]
"...." [Fireball man"
"jeez.. don't make me monologuing here, oi what's other things you can do? besides making that invisible wall and fireball?, ah the line of fire seems different either" [Nashi]
"whatever , i've already called a cop before i shows up,well.. it'll just adding the body count if the cop coming before you fall down, literally" [Nashi] ... he's not grey yet, that means he still alive,but both of them still in black dot, if the only way is to kill him?... hm..
"ah.. good job for being a decoy back there~" [Nashi] i rub the figure of crying girl on my back, haah.. there's some meat on her face, i just pick it up and not telling her, don't want her to be more histerical,
aaaah...
....she hugs me with blood around her clothes and barf around her mouth...... and just push her head against my body,while crying.... i somehow have mixed feeling about this...
" *sob* .. i thought you lea*sob* leave me to die back there*sob*" [Riku]
".. i told you i'm a man of mine of word right~..." [Nashi]
"....... *sob*" [Riku] oh, she's trembling.. and that smell? ah... better not mention it to her.. too bad, that's my favorite pants.. Ume you should not lending people with my favorite thing
i really have mixed feeling about this..
"*sob*.. so *sob* why are you *sob* leaving me back the*sniff* there" [Riku]
" do i really need to explain? things go well right? [Nashi]
" ju..*sob* just console me*sob* and continue rub my head *sniff* while explaining" [Riku]
".... oi, don't get over your head" [Nashi] even though i protested , i'm still doing about what she ask,... this girl doesn't planning at all to release her head from my body eh..
"oi... release me for a moment, i'm tired and want to take a seat" [Nashi]
" don't want.. my face.. really messed right now," [Riku] she says this while shook her head, anyway i just give up and sits with her clinging to me..
".... promise me first you're not gonna calling my name by mistake or something like that , that guy still alive" [Nashi]
"mm.. don't worry" [Riku]
"......you're gonna explain now?" [Riku]
"still remembering that? haaah~ , well right when we split up , i search for some gasoline or something like that, anyhow i called the police about burne.. no just skip that , ah i go to that bar, but the people in there already pass out from drinking, so i borrow some of their alchohol, the plan is simple one , just throw him with gasoline since he needs to touch the fire to throw it right? ah... you know from before? of course not, but that fireball man just circling around the alley, so i know his body isn't have fire resistance. and about that trap, remember when i talk with kuro? i told her when i leave her, don't stand or run from the top of your body... this is a bet, but i have feeling you're going to use your summon from the side, and since you never run from his attack, TWO times before, i supposed you're not gonna do it any time soon, and yeah when i ran i place a spring on your front... thanks god you're not charge at him or attack him , or something like that, i just betting on my gut, he can track us from my drop of blood, also he seems calm enough and with his build, he seems like a professional at doing this kind of thing, so he must be has some kind of back up plan" [Nashi]
"......mm" [Riku] i have a feeling she doesn't listen from mid way of explanation
"ah.. right don't you dare use our name, that guy still alive, anyhow that man seems reach he's limit at 7, considering there's no trace of fire left in here,if he's limit isn't 7, then you're dead, but since he doesn't attack simultanously after the last, i'm betting that his limit 7. if his backup weapon is a gun, then you're dead, but if i were able to throw fireball i want some kind of weapon that i can use in melee so the chance he's using a gun will be low and if he play safe and just waited until 12am , then you're dead.... considering you looks weak, i bet he just going aggresive and strike you down." [Nashi]
"mm.." [Riku] she says this while nodding
"...... you're basicaly survive because i just make blind guess..." [Nashi] no, reaction? she really scared to dead eh
"anyway, why are you bitting my finger back then?" [Nashi]
"....when? don't remember" [Riku] pretending not remember?
"ah the police here...." [Nashi] this is gonna be a long night again...... this bad luck charm really something else huh, 3 days and i need to meet police twice
