shirai stab 2

The girl sidearmed the metal dart toward Shirai, busy preparing herself. She hadn’t used
teleportation (or Move Point, like she said). It was traversing a linear, three-dimensional
route. It was, however, aimed precisely at the middle of Shirai’s body.
She couldn’t dodge it to the side given the width of the alley.
There was always the option of teleporting across a wall and into a building to flee, but
she couldn’t use it carelessly—she didn’t know what the inside looked like. If she
accidentally sent herself into coordinates overlapping with another person, it would be a
terrible tragedy.
But there was no point in retreating backward. The dart was heading straight for her.
Therefore, she chose to teleport forward. She warped right in front of the girl, ending up
on the other side of the dart. She balled a hand into a fist. It would be a counterattack—
delivered right after evading an incoming attack, it would send her enemy flying. But
before she could...
A metal dart struck her in the flank from behind.
“...Ah...?!”
Shirai felt something like a tremble bubbling up from the core of her body. Quickly
losing the ability to endure it, she felt all of her strength drain from her. Her legs
buckled and she fell to the ground.
