I’ll defeat Both of Them By Today

Three weeks have pa.s.sed since they started offering human tributes to the Santana. Neito’s plans were almost complete. It was either sink or swim. Succeed or die.

After that encounter, Neito along with his subordinates, met with the Santana a few more times. Offering kidnapped humans for their safety, the Santana started to lower their guard towards them. He was now able to set a trap up easily.

The Santana acknowledged that attacking humans would be too risky while Ramone was around. They would avoid any encounters with Ramone as much as possible because there was a possibility that they could get totally wiped out. That’s why they accepted Neito’s tribute obediently.

On the other hand, the Santana knew perfectly about the evil organization Metallica. They probably interpreted his actions as [a man from Metallica doesn’t want us as his enemy. That’s why he’s offering tributes. Then we’ll accept them gratefully. Metallica deals with the surface world, that’s why we have no concerns for them.]

That’s what they’re definitely thinking.

But he wasn’t going to leave it to chance. He asked Tsurugi train him for the following days in order to be prepared for the upcoming battle. Training in an abandoned factory, Neito proceeded with a mock battle.

[Go! Fight! Nate!]

Anice was cheering in the sidelines, sitting on a metal drum.

[…Haa…Haa… One more time Tsurugi.]

[E~h?! Senpai, I can’t do it anymore. In the first place, we can’t possibly match Tsuruigi-san’s abilities~.]

[It’s not good to force yourself Boss. Aside from Niina, you’ve been at it for a fairly long time now. Rest is also important to one’s health.]

[…I understand. One last round then. You can take a break Niina.]

[‘nderstood Senpai~]

Tsurugi might be my subordinate, but he’s much older and more experienced.

We both have a police baton as our weapons.

No matter how many times I do it, I can’t land a blow. It’s not like I have bad athletic abilities… Ever since I entered Metallica, I always found time to train myself.

Since I was a NEET in the Tokyo area, I also researched about how to defend myself in the internet.

Even so, that didn’t help with my current situation.

[You can come at me from any angle boss.]

Tsurugi is calm as always. No matter how much I struggle, he still stops all my blows half-heartedly.

d.a.m.n. How did he become my subordinate again? No, no no. I can’t entertain such thoughts. If such a man found something in me to make him follow me , then I have to fulfil my role.

[Here I come Tsurugi.]

Concentrate and think.

What are my strengths?

I should know that already. This isn’t like the time when I had no self-confidence. I’m a villain. I’ll do anything to win. That’s my strength.

Then I’ll show you. My…

[…The air around you changed quite a bit Boss.]

[…Is that so? Haa!]

Neito proceeded to strike.

But,

Neito’s phone suddenly rang. The ringtone set was [no matter what the situation is you need to answer] tone. (TLN: I’ reckon that it’s a specific ringtone for important matters)

[!…. We’ll stop here Tsurugi.]

[…Understood…Huh… It seems like I was saved…]

Picking up the phone, Neito looked sideways and saw Tsurugi sweating heavily.

That’s weird… he was calm a while ago.

[……?]

Well, that’s that. The call takes the top priority now.

[h.e.l.lo. Good work. This is Komori speaking.]

The call was from Metallica’s medical facility.

[Yes. Yes. I understand. Then, we’ll go as planned. Yes. I wagered a few. Yeah, you can leave the ones that don’t move as they are. Yes.]

Ending the call, the time had finally come.

[What happened Nate?]

Anice came over to him, wiping his sweat away with a towel. She smelled nice as usual, but he decided to indulge after they finished the day’s work.

Neito let out a chuckle.

No matter how hard I pretend to act tough, I still can’t get used to this feeling.

[Anice, Niina, I’ll give you the coordinates on your terminals. Move towards those coordinates after you readied your equipment. Tsurugi, you’re coming with me.]

[Un. Understood Nate!]

[E~h? What’s this all of a sudden… A~! You’ll explain it later right?]

[I’ll give orders via the mobile terminal. I’ll brief you while we’re moving.]

Niina and Anice immediately headed for the Branch Office for their equipment.

[What about us Boss?]

Tsurugi already prepared himself for the fight ahead and was waiting for orders.

As expected of him…

[Yeah, we don’t have much time. We’ll head directly to the medical facility. After that we’ll proceed to attack.]

Neito didn’t fully explain the details to Tsurugi, but Tsurugi’s response was swift. Perfectly, he arranged for a car and prepared the equipment.

[We can depart whenever you want Boss. You said we’re going on an offensive… Is our target the Santana or…?]

Taking them down individually is too much ha.s.sle.

Neito responded.

[It’s obvious isn’t it? I’ll defeat both of them by today.]
