Outside the control room every hunter couldn't move because of the hostages the vampire has and the given time for them to surrender theirselves is near wasted, among them a single girl is already preparing to go there, an eyepatched girl carrying a sniper rifle on her back.
"What are you planning to do cyclops?"
A man asked him this man is her companion S class' rank 4 KUMA.
"What do you think i'm planning to do?"
"You can't possibly planning to!!!...."
Kuma became shocked after realizing cyclops' plan.
"Exactly, i'll turn everything to our favor by myself just wait here."
"Wait!!!"
Even though Kuma tried to stop him from doing it, her determination didn't falter, thus continuing her plan she tried to call out to a vampire to surrender herself but before that a sudden event stopped her from doing it.
"Am i on air now?"
Someone spoke in the speakers connected to the control room.
"Hunters the hostages are now under my care."
Everyone became surprised of the sudden statement because a different voice is talking and claiming to have the hostages.
"Don't worry about their safety, everyone of you is permitted to start the execution of vampires. ah right still didn't introduce myself, I S Class' rank 1 Dante declare my comeback in hunter's association, for now i think?...that's all...
Back to the control room.
"Wait what kind of bullshit did you just say?"
Airi became furious after hearing what furishiro just said along with surprised faces of the hostages.
"Ha? bullshit?... Idiot....."
"What? how dare you call me an idiot?"
"Sigh"
Furishiro sighed deeply after hearing Airi's refutes.
"Why do you think that vampire's scared of me? and how did i get these vampire hunter weapons specifically this handpistol?"
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
After hearing furishiro's statement puzzle peices started falling in it's place in her head and she realized everything.
"Do you get it now?"
"Yeah everything makes sense."
"Wew, finally..... Let's leave already while they're still fighting i don't want anyone else to see me."
"Wait, do you think they'll believe a random statement?
Airi's question has a point why would the hunter's believe a random statement while the hostages life us at stake.
"Ah~ Don't worry about that, after doing her part they will surely move."
"her?"
Back outside the control room.
"What did he just say?"
"Rank 1?"
"As if we'll believe that!"
"Right we have to be sure first they have hostages."
Almost every hunter in the vicinity shouted different words to react but it stopped after a sudden call on everyone's transmitter in their ear.
"Yo!!"
"That voice????!!!"
A girl's voice can be heard that surprised every hunter.
"Director??"
It's the hunter's association crusaria branch director.
"That boy's identity is confirmed and safety of the hostages is also confirmed, you're all authorized to mobilize."
"Yes Ma'am!"
Everyone started executing vampires and the war started.
A girl positioned her sniper rifle and start shooting down vampires 1by 1, while shooting she saw 2 students running to the exit while holding each other's hand and muttered a single word with a gloomy expression.
"Captain....."
On a certain dark office a single person that can be seen suddenly talked.
"So you chose to come back to service huh?"
The person continue thinking while doing some office jobs.
"Hey... Furishiro can you let go of my hand now??"
"Fine but why is your face red? are you alright?"
The two reached the exit and now is walking, Furishiro noticed airi's beet red face without knowing that the reason is their holding hands while running event.
"Iiiiim nooooot!!!!!!"
Airi started denying because of embarassment but deep inside her she started cursing furishiro for his insensitivity.
"Anyway, why are we running? I heard no one know your true identity and why is that?"
Airi asked something to change the subject.
"Oh~ that? it's because i always wear a mask with my uniform."
"Then why are we..."
"Running?"
Furishiro cut her talk after predicting her next question.
"It's because there's a couple of troublesome people that know my identity and one if them is in the conference."
"ahh~"
After airi's question been answered it became silent.
"Now it's my time to ask why are you with the hostages?"
Furishiro's question intensified the atmosphere.
"Heheh, It's because......"
Airi started talking she said that after hearing the anouncement she worried about furishiro and find him, but after the search she didn't found even a single trace of his whereabouts. Then she thought that furishiro might already been caught by the vampires and tried to save him but ended up being a hostage instead.
"You really are an idiot."
"Hey!!!"
Airi tried to argue but can't say anything because she know that furishiro has a point.
"Anyway i think i had a free time next weekend and i also think that i can teach someone, maybe i'll find some sword disciple or something..."
Furishiro's words made airi's eyes shine with expectations.
"hahaha, you're like a kid.."
Furishiro laugh a bit and floated a wry smile after, it made airi happier.
"Yeahhhhh!!!!"
"hmmm? why?"
"I made you smile yeah!!!"
"Really?"
The two continued their walk.
