A girl in a black suit swung her rifle, a quick movement intended to knock Krisna down as soon as he appeared in the doorway.
But Krisna caught the cold barrel before it could land. With one pull, he dragged the girl into the danger zone—their breaths almost touching.
Krisna's knee rose, ready to strike his opponent's stomach.
But the girl gave him no respite. A fist flew like lightning—hitting his chest and throwing Krisna back.
"Krisna!" Qia shouted from afar.
Krisna's back hit the cold alley wall. He collapsed onto the damp ground.
His hand clutched his chest, a groan escaping his lips.
The girl stood in front of Krisna.
"Who are you!?" she snapped.
The pain prevented Krisna from speaking—his face just wrinkled into a smile.
"M-me? Krisna!" He stood up, grabbed the girl's collar, and reached for her arm.
Brak!
Krisna's hard punch was enough to knock the girl unconscious on the spot.
Seeing Krisna, Aiko launched her fist at the girl in front of her—due to her weak grip, her gun flew towards Alisa.
The girl with the blue halo clenched her fist. Her fist flew, aimed directly at Aiko.
The other girls in suits did not stand idly by; they moved, attacking Aiko and Krisna.
Krisna was surrounded by three girls with red, blue, and green hair, with their rifle barrels aimed at his head—Krisna could only raise his hands.
In Krisna's mind: "I wish I had brought a smoke grenade."
Meanwhile, Aiko faced two girls. Close-range shots hit Aiko's body; thanks to her halo, the bullets did not penetrate.
Aiko moved, her steps coordinated. Her right foot kicked at one of the girls.
However, the girl dodged and threw a punch back.
"Take this!"
Aiko quickly turned her body, her leg ready to strike the girl's head from above.
Thud!
Her kick made the girl hit the ground hard, creating vibrations. The girl immediately lost consciousness.
On Alisa's side—as soon as the rifle was in front of her, she grabbed it. She turned her head, watching Aiko and Krisna—who needed help the most.
Knowing that Krisna was cornered, she pulled the trigger, hitting the third girl's head. The three girls turned to Alisa.
"Hiek!" Alisa was terrified.
Thanks to that, Krisna got his chance. He used a scissor sweep to knock down the red-haired girl behind him.
As soon as the girl lost her balance, Krisna grabbed the thigh of the green-haired girl who hadn't reacted yet, then pulled her down.
"Hyahh!! Pervert!!" the girl screamed.
Ignoring her, Krisna continued to try to knock her down. However, because he was too focused on that girl, the red-haired girl he was holding—
Thud!
A fist hit her nose. Blood began to drip.
"You pervert!" the girl shouted.
The green-haired girl, who had been watching all along, kicked Krisna's head hard. As a result, his grip on the blue-haired girl's thigh loosened.
His vision became blurry; his brain was shaking. Blood continued to flow from his nose.
The three girls continued to beat and kick Krisna, who was lying on the ground.
Alisa moved, charging at the three girls. They immediately dodged, moving away from Krisna. With a rifle in her trembling hands, she stood protecting Krisna.
Alisa did not want to lose her friend—and the person who had saved her life. She stood with her back to Krisna, who was lying on the ground.
"Hey, why are you defending that pervert?" asked the blue-haired girl, pointing at Krisna.
" He-he's not a pervert!!" shouted Alisa, defending Krisna's honour.
Hearing this, the three girls stretched out their fingers, intending to push past Alisa.
Seeing them like thugs, Alisa's legs seemed to lose their strength. Her eyes sparkled, tears were about to fall, her hands were shaking.
The three girls slowly stepped closer.
From inside the house, Qia ran with several smoke grenades. She ran as fast as she could; when she reached the front, she pulled the trigger and threw a smoke grenade.
"Hiyah!"
Puft
Grey smoke billowed around the area, obscuring the view of Alisa and the three girls.
"W-what is this?" said one of the girls.
They turned their heads, but there was only smoke everywhere. The smoke crept into their nostrils—they walked, trying to get out of the smoke.
But as soon as the red-haired girl breathed in the clean air, Aiko kicked her hard in the head, knocking her down.
The green-haired girl came out too and ended up the same as the redhead.
The blue-haired girl came out and turned around.
"I'm—?"
Brak!
The three girls were knocked down. As the smoke cleared, the scene in front of Aiko's house was chaotic. The girls in black suits and Krisna were lying on the ground.
Alisa sat down weakly, her mouth wide open. Tears began to fall from her eyes.
Meanwhile, Qia ran towards Krisna—followed by Aiko, who was sweating, dust slightly covering her white hair.
Wiping his forehead, "Krisna, what happened?" she asked.
"Krisna fainted~" said Alisa, sobbing.
Qia approached Alisa and calmed her down, "It's okay."
"Yes, relax. Krisna is strong,"
said Aiko, smiling.
Crossing her arms, she said, "Alright, how do we take care of them?"
She turned to the girls who were lying helplessly on the ground.
The situation had now calmed down, the smoke had completely cleared, and Krisna was carried inside by Qia and Alisa, leaving Aiko standing in the yard.
Looking around, one of the girls woke up—seeing this, Aiko walked over.
"Hello, young lady," with a smile that seemed to want to devour her.
The girl's body trembled. Her hands moved, trying to escape from Aiko's presence.
"Oh, no, no. You can't run away after causing trouble, can you!?"
"I-I'm sorry..." The girl's eyes trembled as she watched Aiko extend her fingers.
"KYAHHHHH!!!!" Her scream sent the pigeons flying.
