Chapter 278
With the first machine gun shootout, all of the security guards outside the hotel have evacuated.
The mysterious limousine bus rushing the hotel has no one to hold them back.
Emergency evacuation! Okay! Everyone go to the lobbys depths
Neko-san whos carrying the injured shouts to the allied free guards
Roger! Banba-chan! Lets take a breaklets change locations!
Barbie-san instructs Banba-san
Eh, Nee-san why?! I was just warming up!
While blowing away another free guard on the enemy side with her steel ball on the tip of her flailBanba-san complains.
Dont be an idiot! The second wave has that many people. Professionals are in there too! Youve got no chance of winning against those who can shoot pistols!
Errlarges busses, if I recall a single class can ride in it and theres still remaining auxiliary seats.
Then this meansif its filled with people, theres more than 150 people.
Margo-san said that Viola should be taking around 30 people from US, his homeland.
Those guys are used to killing people with guns.
Even if the remaining 120 are amateurs like the first wave of people wearing black combat clothes
If you include 30 professionals in itits a disadvantage.
The free guards have their numbers cut down alreadytheyre injured and exhausted
Banba! Lets pull back as planned! Drag that too!
Ruby-san shouts
Roger! Nee-san!
Banba-san drags the guard who fainted just now and falls back.
In the depths of the lobby.
The lobby of this hotel has a very high ceiling in between first and second floors butthe interior part of both the first and second floor have many shops lined up.
Furthermore, the corners of the corridor are skillfully arranged so that theres a pillar, a resting bench sofa that can obstruct, making them unable to attack directly from the entrance.
Everyonehurry up!
While the allied guards evacuate armed men in black combat clothing comes down one after another loudly from the limousine bus.
Theyre all dressed the same as the first people who show up.
Theres combat helmet on their head and a black mask on their face.
With thisyou cant identify the person from their appearance.
Is Cesario Viola blending in among them?
Douuuun!
Dau, dauuun!
From the shadow of a thick pillar, Ruby-san shoots out her riot suppressing rubber bullet shotgun!
Holding back the black suit corps and the free guards on their sidethey earned the time to evacuate.
Doaun! Douun!!
Several of the men in black clothes that just got down shot towards Ruby-san.
As expectedthe professionals from US dont hesitate to shoot people.
Thats enough! Ruby-chan! All of the injured are already transported this way!
Neko-san shouts howeverRuby-san cant run from the pillar due to shootout
Banba-chan, use this!
Barbie-san hands Banba-san aboomerang?
Neko-san and others have collected the boomerang that was dropped a while ago.
Roger! Ill cover you, Ruby-neesan!
Even though shes a woman, Banba-sans muscle strength; which usually wields a heavy flail and a steel ball at end, is amazing
Kuon, dammiiiiiiiit!!!!
The boomerang jumps into the flock of the black combat fatigue men with an amazing momentum.
Several of the combatants try to escape from the direct hit of the boomerang by slipping through the amateurs who stopped their legs in panic.
These people are Violas followers?
Ruby-san used that chance and dashed from the big pillar to the lobby with her allies.
At the moment Ruby-sans supple body jumped into the corridor!
Let down the bulletproof door!
Neko-san shouts to the surveillance cameras!
Then
From the ceiling of the second floor in the corridora thick iron plate comes down.
Dazuun!
The first floor part of the corridor is completely isolated by an iron door!
The enemy panics
Then
Kudou-papa appears from the balcony of the second floor part of the corridor.
Speaking of which, I didnt see him earlier
Welcome, Cesario Viola and his friends. I welcome you!
Kudou-papa smiles.
One of the black men holds his pistol aiming at Kudou-papa
Then another man stopped him.
He must be wondering why Kudou-papa come out there.
Cesario Viola-kuns an American buthavent you been in Japan when you were a child right? Therefore, I think you know it already but
Kudou-papa looks down on the army of black clothed men smiling.
Japans skit shows sometimes assemble a large scale set-uptraditionally
The guys in black combat uniform shows a face ofWhat is he talking about?as they look up at Kudou-papa
Well then, lets begin!
Kudou-papa holds up his right fist and take a post.
Alice in wonderland, please grant my wish! Would you go to heaven or fall to hellthis is an attempt!
Then, he pushed his hand up to the sky!
Explode! Ishiba Ceiling fist!
Bahoooo!!!!
At that momenta crack appears on the ceiling of the lobby!!!
Heat end!!!!
Dobaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A large amount of water spills down from the cracked ceiling all at once!!
Right above the black clothed men!
Hiiiiiiiiii!!
Awaaaaaa!
Uwaraba!
The combatants were crushed and swept away by the sudden jet flow falling down.
Wahahahahawell then, lets meet again!
Kudou-papa left while laughing loudly as he look at the first floor lobby becoming a water hell.
I thought that he did something strange on the swimming pool on the third floor which is a sports gym butit became this gimmick
Margo-san smiles wryly as she look at the video.
Actually, its a fire extinguishing system in case someone sets fire on the lobby
Reika answers.
Whos thought that hed use it like this!
Michi bows her head
Sorry, father tends to be short-circuited and likes to do flashy things
No, I think that its a good plan even though its too much. Were able to shave off the large number of people invading in. With this, itll take some time before they can rebuild their state
Margo-san answers.
You cant control the elevator from the first floor. The emergency generators are also on the upper floor so even if they occupy the first floor, it wont be trouble. From here forwardthe offensive side will have to split into groups and go upstairs to invade. Although, theyll encounter ambushes on each floor from the defense side
Reika explains.
I dont know how much damage the water hell did to the 150 black combat fatigue men
As expected, its quite a number.
If we put on the number of Kouzuki security service uniformed guys, they wont lose when it comes to numbers.
Actually, only chief Tanizawas top elite team and Kudou-papas group can hold a battle with them.
By making the enemy go upstairs, we can separate them and have them exhausted. The enemy might think of this as a mini dungeon quest
Margo-san smiles.
They wont just go up the emergency staircase?
Mana asks worriedly.
The passage and emergency stairs of each floors are closed and its not possible to pass by the fire doors at several points. Therefore, they cant go straight to the upper floor. There are six stairs leading from the first floor to the upper floors howevereach of them have one people in it and only one route can go upstairs. They have to divide into six groupsfind the staircase leading to the upper floors by winding on each
Reika explains
Butwhat if they throw grenades or open a hole on the closed doors?
First of all, I dont think the enemy has grenadesif they ever have one, they wont waste it on blowing up fire doors
I see
The passages are closed up by the fire doors.
They cant just blow up all of them one after another.
Rather than that, what we should worry about is the four enemies that infiltrated using the tear gas. They should be inside the hotel along with the security guards of Kouzuki security service
Margo-san asks Reika.
Yes. But, chief Tanizawa is watching the same video we were watching so I think hes already making countermeasures
Thats good but
Then
The video on the screen changes to the meeting room where Jii-chan is.
Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu sent quite a lot of assassins
Jii-chan tries to make an impression to the anti-mainstream faction of Shirasaka family that its Shiraaska houses request why Cesario Viola is attacking.
Fukushi-chanwheres Fukushi-chan?!
Shirasaka Ayako seems to be worried about the safety of her own son.
I think that hes not killed. Hes a useful card for negotiations to them
Jii-chan said calmly to reassure Shirasaka Ayako.
My guards are already moving. Well be recovering Fukushi-kun soon. Be at ease
But, uhmif we surrender to them, they wont do anything to Fukushi-chan right?
Shirasaka Ayako seems to be impatient.
The aim of the enemy is to kill the traitors. You and Fukushi-kun are already on Shirasaka Moritsugus death list. If you surrender to them, theyll kill the two of you immediately. The reason why Fukushi-kun is alive now is because it seems you can be lured out using him. I dont think you can nonchalantly go out at this situation
Y-Yes
Shirasaka Ayako responds yet unable to settle down.
Should I talk to Shirasaka Moritsugu? If we talk to him he will surely understand Its just absurd to hire a hitman to erase us
Shirasaka Hiromitsu said.
Shirasaka Moritsugu has already made that absurd choice. And, the other party whos requested to kill is a boss of a famous criminal organization in America. Its too late to talk about it now
Jii-chan rejects Hiromitsus proposal.
Anyway, I guarantee your safety. Ive already sent men to rescue Fukushi-kun
P-Please, thank you!
Shirasaka Ayako bows her head.
Now then, lets move to a separate room for the time being. Its not good to stay in here
Jii-chan tells the three anti-mainstream faction of Shirasaka family
With the fact that Fukushi-kun is caught by the enemy means that the enemy knows that we were negotiating in this hotel tonight. You can immediately understand the interior of the hotel when you look at the hotels website. This conference floor should be a target of the enemy
Y-Youre Right
Vice president Yamada nods.
Lets prepare a room near the top floor. The enemy shouldnt be able to rush up when its there
Jii-chan said.
Tanizawa, please put appropriate guards from the elite team on the room of the three. If possible, you can send my full-time guardsOotoku-kun and Choumoto-kun with them
Are you sure?
I dont mind, the safety of the three comes first
The three from Shirasaka house were impressed by what Jii-chan said.
CertainlyThen, Ill deploy the best guards we have
Umuyou can monitor the situation outside from their room. Theres no need to worry
Jii-chan told the three.
Chief Tanizawa already gives orders on his intercom.
ThenJii-chan turned to the vassals behind him
Oh yes, you too. As Ive told you beforehandIve brought your children to this hotel. You must be worried so stay with your children
Jii-chan looks at the reaction of each individual vassal.
There should be atraitoramong them
No, theres still two who hasnt come yet.
Tanizawa, show them the way
Certainlyeveryone, this is an emergency. Please follow my instructions whatever it is. First, please refrain from using mobile phones. Its possible that everyones phone is bugged. Even if its a bit, information may leak to the enemy. This is a life or death situation so I expect your cooperation. Then, the room well be going to has a restroom in it so please use that one. Its already possible that the enemy has already infiltrated so its strictly prohibited to use the hotel in the corridor during our move inside the hotel
UhmKakka will also be moving with us right?
One of the executive asks Jii-chan.
I also brought Ruriko and Misuzu to this hotel. Im worried for them. I will be going to my granddaughters
As expected of Kouzuki-san
Margo-san said.
Eh, what do you mean?
I asked, Margo-san
Well you see, if theres an enemy among the executivesof course the two others who didnt come are still in doubt butits still possible that the traitor is in that room making an ignorant face
Y-Yeah
Thenit would be bad to be with the traitor all the time you see. The thee of the anti-mainstream of Shirasaka house, or Minaho, or maybe Kouzuki-san can be the target of the enemy
The traitor might tell the enemy where the targets located?
Yup. Even if they dont contact with a phone, they may have something like a transmitter
I see
ThereforeThe three of Shirasaka house, the executives, and Kouzuki-san himself will be on separate rooms and separate floors
Rightthe traitor wont bring the enemy to where their son is
Thereforetheyre bringing the executives to the students?
We should be moving soon too
Misuzu said.
