- And so the men reacted swiftly. Each one reached into his suit’s breast pocket and
- brought out a black handgun, each with the same design. Just looking at them struck
- her with a hefty weight.
- (Crap, so they weren’t just some regular old purse-snatchers! When did this turn into a
- spy movie?!)
- Shirai crouched down behind the carry-on luggage to use it as a shield, but they seemed
- confident. Their index fingers didn’t hesitate on the triggers—they would aim precisely
- for the parts of her sticking just a little bit out from her “shield.” Her throat made a very
- slight and unnatural sound. Her teleportation wasn’t responsive or precise enough to
- send away every single bullet.
- Fire flared from the ten muzzles.
- But Shirai was crossing through space just one step faster. She was aiming to get behind
- the man in the back.
- Shirai Kuroko and the carry-on luggage disappeared. She left only her flimsy bag behind
- in midair; after a moment it plopped straight to the ground.
- The men seemed bewildered, their target suddenly having vanished. Meanwhile, Shirai
- took the giant carry-on luggage with both hands and gave a really hard wallop to the guy
- all the way in the back.
- “Gah...!” he groaned.
- The other thieves all started to turn around at once. Shirai touched one of them and
- teleported. The man immediately changed places—but only by a few centimeters, and
- with his body turned all the way around.
- What ended up happening was that eight men spun to look behind them, and one of
- them instead turned to glare at them.
- The thieves were now all pointing their guns at one another like a Mexican standoff.
- “Uh.”
- The man who had gotten turned around hurriedly pointed his away, and that was when
- Shirai delivered a massive kick to his back. The robbers all fell to the ground like
- dominoes. She swung the carry-on luggage up with all her might, then brought it down
- on each of the gun-wielding men’s wrists in turn. There was a series of short shrieks.
- They couldn’t run—they couldn’t move. It was like they were wrapped in spider thread.
- If they tried to use their guns, they’d probably have to go through their own piled-up
- allies. As a result, despite all their murderous weapons, each one only waited helplessly
- to be knocked out and lose consciousness.
- “Well, that was nothing to write home about. In fact, it was a little too easy for my tastes,”
- she said derisively, though to no response.
- She poked the men with her toes to make sure they were all unconscious, then bound
- them all in Judgment’s nonmetal handcuffs. She ran out after the first four, so she made
- use of a loose cable lying on the ground. Despite the pressure on their wrists, none of
- them woke up.
