  And I have to edit these additional chapters by your pure feelings . Well, donations are $15 per sponsored chapter . You’re already 2/3rds there . Reizen Chuu can at least crank out 3 chaps a week if he wanted to…… Anyway, enjoy .

  When I was on my way to release the hostages after accepting the old man’s request, one of the terrorists entered the classroom to check on the situation .

  “Yo, how is it going?” the terrorist asked .

  “No problem so far . What are you doing here?” the other answered back .

  “I’m just doing rounds . ”


  “You came at the perfect time then . Stay here and take watch for me . I’m going to the toilet . ”


  “You……we’re at a delicate situation now, and you want to pee?”


  “You rather me leak on the floor? Just let me go . ”


  “Fine . Come back quickly . ”


  “Thanks . ” Leaving that word behind, the man with a strong build laughed and left the classroom .

  Just as he stepped outside, though, a faint grin reached his face while he turned to look back at the classroom he just exited .

  “Hehe, who would want to go back to such a boring place . You guys stay there and guard for the rest of your life . ”


  With that murmur, the man headed in a completely different direction than the restroom .

  “Now that I managed to leave, where should I go? Using a firearm would just get me noticed, and there are no girls around that I could do . So what can I do for fun?”


  The man kept walking as he pondered about what he should do until suddenly, he arrived before a flight of stairs . He stood there, gazing absently at them until before long, he hit an idea and said, “Let’s go to the roof to check on the cops . ”


  The man climbed the stairs and head to the roof .

  ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー


  After the man who said he was going to the toilet left the classroom, the other terrorists who were left behind began to whisper among themselves .

  “Geez, what a troublesome guy . ”


  “Yeah, try to keep him in your sights . He’s a bit off the rails . ”


  “Not just ‘a bit’ . That guy…… he shot one of our allies to death in our last raid . ”


  “Really? Does the boss know about it?”


  “If he knew about it then that guy wouldn’t be in this world anymore by now . ”


  A while has passed after the man had left the class, making the one who took his place begin to hold doubts .

  “Hey, wasn’t taking him so long?”


  “Don’t know . Taking a crap?”[ED: ok, he didn’t say that, but better than, ‘indeed’, no?]

  “Don’t tell me……he snuck away?”


  “Can’t be…… Wait, that’s quite possible . ”


  “I’m going to go check . ”


  One of the men left the classroom, leaving one left to guard .

  DON!

  “Uu…… u”


  Immediately after the terrorist saw the other leave, dull sound along with the terrorist’s groan echoing down the halls reached him . The terrorist jolted .

  “Hey, what is it? Did something happen?” He called out, not taking a step outside .

  There was no reply . He had an urge to go and confirm the situation pressed his mind, however, he couldn’t do that . If he did, the hostages in the class would just run away .

  As he was wondering on what happened, he noticed something strange on the side of the hostages .

  “Wh-What’s going on……?”


  For some reason, all of them were sleeping . The terrorist couldn’t hold his astonishment towards this scene .

  Just a few seconds ago, most of them were sitting with a gloomy face . For them to fall asleep all at once right when he looked away……not possible .

  “Are they really sleeping?”


  The terrorist approached the hostages out of doubt and realized that they were genuinely and comfortably sleeping .

  What is going on? How could they sleep in this kind of time? Not to mention, all of them at once?

  The terrorist fell into deep thoughts for a short while until he reached a reasonable conclusion .

  “Were they put asleep?” He wondered out loud .

  “Correct . ”


  “GUA!!”


  The next instant, He heard a voice from somewhere, and with that, came a strong force upon the back of his neck .

  (Wh-What is this……)

  As his consciousness started to fade away, the terrorist turned around to see the figure of a single student in uniform behind him .

  “You…… Who…… are y……ou . . ?”


  “Just a highschool student . ”


  Stop fooling around!

  The terrorist fainted away before he was able to say that line .

  ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー


  “This was the last one . ”


  I said while looking at the collapsing terrorist . Dear me, I managed to do it somehow . I was having a hard time making a plan at first, but when one of them left the classroom I ended up punching him in the stomach, so things turned okay .

  The other one was confused after realizing that the hostages were all asleep, so it was easy hit him in the neck .

  But still, I didn’t expect that a hit on the neck would work, since I’ve never tried doing that before . I thought that such moves only exists in manga . From now on, I shall be using this technique to defeat any enemy .

  Come to think of it, the old man told me to act naturally . Oh well, I guess it will turn out well in the end . Rather, he should be grateful to me for helping him arresting the terrorists as well .

  Finishing my work here, I decided to go back to Kamaishi on the roof, when suddenly the walkie-talki on the belt of the man who had collapsed on the floor went on .

  “Hey, it’s me . What’s the situation there . ”


  My body stiffened, and I looked back at the walkie-talkie .

  Wow, wow, wait, what should I do know? Should I answer? No, I would be exposed instantly if I did . However, not answering will be suspicious too .

  As I was contemplating about whether I should answer or not, the voice began pressing for a reply .

  “What is it? What are you doing? Give me a response already!”


  Dammit, I have no left choice .

  I resolved myself and answered . .

  “Sorry to keep you waiting, there’s no problem here . I will be resuming the inspection . ”


  “.……”


  How was that? I slightly lowered my voice tone to make it sound similar to the fainted guy . This should do, right?

  “Who the heck are you!! You’re not one of our comrades! What happened to them?”


  OO-kay, that didn’t work . I should’ve expected this result . It’s only natural .

  “Hey! Guys . All of you, head to the hostages’ classroom now! An enemy is over there!!”


  The instant the voice finished its words, the talkie was cut .

  I threw the wireless to the ground, closed my eyes, and began considering what to do . This means what it means, right? All of the terrorists are charging this way, right?

  What a disaster! I started to stress all by myself when as I heard the sounds of people descending the stairs from far away .

  Dammit, It can’t be helped . It came to this at the very end .

  “Let’s remember to add a roasted pork ramen to the list later . ”


  Keeping that in mind, I began preparing a countermeasure against the terrorists .
