~Lacuna POV~
"So, Red, do you think Blonde will succeed in this attack?"
"Red? A blonde? You call us by hair color?"
Right now, Red and I are sitting next to each other on a hill, two kilometers west of the Ibrahimi family residence. Ibrahim's family owned a very large house, consisting of several different buildings with high walls around it. If those buildings had mountain rock walls, I would have thought this house was a castle. Fortunately not. The walls are still made of brick.
Earlier, when I was ready with my eyes on the rifle binoculars to observe Blonde's attack from a distance, Red came to me. Of course I put a gun on him when he showed up. Red's body was already full of bandages, the result of his confrontation with Davic.
When I asked him the reason for coming to me, he replied, "I just want to look, look for information. As I searched for a place to observe, I found the figure of a person. I didn't think it was you.".
And, yes, I allowed him to sit on the left. He used the same Wing-C magnum sniper rifle as before.
Back to the present.
"The light also calls me White. I don't think there's a problem, do you?"
Red speechless. His mouth was open, but not a single word appeared. Finally, he decided to return to the rifle telescope.
"I don't think Blondie's gonna make it."
"Whoa. You also call him Blonde."
"No, I don't call him Blonde.” Red dodged. “I used Blonde call after hearing you."
"Then what was the name you used to distinguish us from?"
Red was silent, not answering. Finally a response came from his mouth, but not the response I wanted.
"I don't think he's going to make it because he, or we, haven't got the information he needs. Like the effect if the bullet lands on our bodies."
He diverted, or rather returned, the direction of the conversation. I won't protest. I'll let him.
Unexpected. Turns out, Red's path of thought is similar to mine. I think he attacked yesterday because he thought the information wasn't important. Or perhaps, he sneaked out hoping to find that information in their factory? Yeah, it might be. However, he was in too much of a hurry. Yesterday, or now.
"Did you do the same thing yesterday? Observing me when I attack?"
"Yes, we do the same thing."
"And you decided not to help me?"
"Why should we help you? We're just looking for information. And, right now, I'm just gonna watch, I'm not gonna help her." I confirmed my answer.
Yeah, I'm not gonna help Blonde, unless he calls and makes a lucrative offer. Let's see it later.
Besides, I want to know how to fight Blonde, is he the type to knock on the front door? Or the type that infiltrates and attacks from within.
Blarr
And, an explosion sounded. Smoke and fire soared, lighting the night. My question was instantly answered, he was the type to knock on the front door. I even had to take my eyes off the rifle telescope for a moment because of the dazzling blast light.
"He's not a tin handler, is he?" Red asked.
"I'm not sure. The tin controller, right, you? Why are you even asking me? Don't you feel it?"
"Ah...how do you know that I'm a tin controller?"
Huh huh? Did he really ask?
"You seriously asked that?"
"of course. I mean, I just don't know your primary control, but you already know my primary control. I feel abandoned, abandoned."
"I gave you one clue: two days ago."
"Two days ago. . . . . AHHHHH! You're the one who fired that shot at my head? You intend to kill me? If my primary control wasn't lead, I would've been killed."
"Then? Trouble?"
"I, that...."
"That's it. Back to the observation."
Since Red does not indicate that the control and Blonde are the same, indirectly, he states that the main control of Blonde is not tin.
I observed the blond assault through the telescope. Around the blond body, dozens of throwing knives floated up. All of the blades shot out in various directions, killing everyone in sight. Sometimes, there were some people capable of dodging Blonde knife attacks. However, with a pair of short swords, Blonde was able to kill people who came.
In addition to carrying a flying knife and a pair of short swords, Blonde also wears a large backpack, which may be close to reaching his knees.
However, it seemed, he was also wary of those ability-busting bullets. He used dozens of knives around him to dispel all the bullets that came. His instincts are terrible too.
Park after park he passed.
"So, White,"
"Yes?" I responded without taking my eyes off the telescope.
"Are you planning on killing Blonde when he's done?"
"No, I wasn't planning on killing him when he was done."
Finally, a familiar face was seen in the telescope, Davic.
Blonde pulls a box from a backpack. The body-sized box was opened, becoming a shield that covered the entire Blonde's body.
The shield carried by Blonde successfully held fire from all shotguns belonging to David. Blonde took a grenade and threw it. Davic let the grenade explode nearby. Unfortunately, Davic got down, preventing himself from being killed by a grenade.
Blondie doesn't stop there. He lifted his shield and put a gun on it, which may also have come from his backpack. Within a short time, a bullet had already lodged in Davic's head, killing him.
Okay, that's anticlimactic.
Seriate
