Complexities
CHAPTER I CHAPTER 3: This Moving Girl Wants to Challenge 300 People At Once ?
Several days have passed since the tragedy of the mysterious attack that befell Hikasa and Amane.
After the incident, Hikasa and Amane decide to join a club in their High School, of course with a certain purpose.
The club is called the Supernatural Club.
The supernatural club is a club formed with the aim to attract people's curiosity about something related to the mystical world. Such as ghosts, yokai, curious spirits, and various things whose existence is beyond Human reason.
The club is chaired by a man with a round glasses frame named Akihisa Yoshifumi (second grade), and a golden ponytail-haired club secretary girl named Arata Hikari (second grade).
Before the arrival of Hikasa and Amane, the club had only two members, even according to the news that circulated, the club will soon be disbanded because it no longer qualifies for membership.
However, the existence of the supernatural club seems to be helped thanks to the presence of Hikasa and Amane. After they decided to join, the supernatural club now has four active members.
“You sure you want to join this club?”ask Hikasa to Amane.
“I have a goal.”balas Amane.
“White right.”cut Hikasa with wry view.
“That's one of them.”balas Amane spontaneous.
“Since moving here, I am very poor even to the point that I have no money to pay rent.”hereinafter to Hikasa in a sluggish tone.
“What kind of girl can not manage her finances.”gumam Hikasa after hearing Amane's confession.
Hikari came with 3 cups of warm tea and placed them between the table where Hikasa and Amane were chatting.
“Thank you, Hikari-san." said Hikasa.
“Sama-sama.”bala Hikari smiled.
“Anu, actually there are still things that make me curious.”ucap Hikari interrupts the chat.
“The people who attacked Chifuyu-san earlier, who are they?”asked Hikari curiously.
“Amane.”cut Amane.
“Call Amane only.”his request on Hikari.
“Ba-good, Amane.”
Hikari felt a bit awkward after Amane asked her to call him by first name.
“They are servants who work on the Koharu-sama family, just like me.”ucap Amane explained.
“They're one of the waiters like Amane but why would they attack his own partner? It's a bit confusing." thought Hikasa.
“Submachine gun and the smoke grenade they used earlier are from here.”
Amane took something out of his bag, it was a red card with a blackish line dominated by numbers on its surface.
“CREDIT CARD?!”Hikasa.
“He has a credit card but still can't pay rent?”Hikasa was somewhat annoyed after recalling Amane's previous confession.
“Not a regular Credit Card, this is an Unlimited Credit Card, this card can buy anything without being burdened by limit.”
“This card is only given to people related to Tsukiyama Koharu-sama family, three butlers previously used this card to buy submachine guns and smoke grenades from the black market.”light Amane explains.
“Then our current position is the same.”cut Hikasa chimed in Amane explanation.
“If they use unlimited money to attack, then we will use unlimited money to buy defense.”
“We can hire protection services from the police or local gangsters with that card.” continued Hikasa.
“A..anu, I do not understand nih.”ucap Hikari responded to the chat Hikasa and Amane.
Amane stood up from his chair while looking at Hikasa with a serious look.
"You think money can protect you?"amane said with a cold look at Hikasa.
"If the cards can really buy anything, then we can build a strong defense and press them with the amount we have. Powerful people also use the power of money to maintain their power and influence" Hikasa replied.
"Hikasa, I'll tell you something."
"Something a man like you might not understand."
The aura that enveloped the room suddenly changed, Amane's cold tone felt through the surface of the skin, making Hikari undo her intention to interrupt their conversation.
**
"A-anu, I still don't understand."
"But why should I take you to a kayak gini place." asked Hikari with a confused face.
According to the direction of Hikari who knows this region more than anyone, Hikari deliver Hikasa and Amane to a place that rents protection and bodyguard services.
Amane intends to prove Hikasa's money power theory, Hikasa assumes that money can be used to build a strong defense and protect it from threats.
This place is very famous for its professional services, even protection services from this place have been used by the upper class such as the President and Government officials.
Hikari guided Amane and Hikasa into the place, the atmosphere was quiet, plus there were not many people passing through it, it was like being in a place that was completely isolated from the general public.
“Actually she is what kind of girl she is.”hikasa thought to Hikari.
Hikari gained easy access to direct contact with companies that provided services and protection that were generally very difficult for civilian access (usually having to use certain intermediaries)
“He kept two special dogs that he could not get permission easily, and now he can easily access to a place like this ?!”Hikasa was further amazed by the strong connection Hikari had.
“Welcome.”welcome a man in a blackish suit who guards the place.
“What kind of service do you want ?”the man in the black suit asked the question."
“Our people are made up of former soldiers, active gangster members, and former cross-country criminals, of course they are very professional.”soffungi with a rather challenging tone on the three of them.
“Are there any snipers?”ask Amane.
“We have retired army of professional snipers. Although already inactive in the military, but their ability is still felt sharply.”return the man to Amane.
“I want a hundred short-range automatic weapons users, a hundred snipers with silencers, and a hundred men who master close-range martial arts.”Pinta Amane.
The man in the black suit was somewhat surprised after hearing Amane's request.
“Interesting...”ucap the man while giving a flyer and pen to Amane.
“Please fill in the client name, type of service ordered, and the name of the person prioritized.”clear the Man to Amane.
Amane started filling the leaflets
"The payment amount is one billion yen." said the man in the black suit.
“Hikasa-san, will Amane be okay?”hikari asked with a worried face to Hikasa.
“Amane... What exactly is he renaming?”thought Hikasa.
Amane stopped his pen, he tore the leaflet into small pieces.
“The client is me, the target is me.”ucap Amane on the man in the blackish suit.
“HAAA!!”Hikasa and Hikari were shocked at the same time.
“I'll hire three hundred men to exterminate me.”the connection is cold on the man.
The man in the black suit greeted Amane's request with a satisfied smile.
“Truly interesting.”think the man after hearing Amane's request.
“Then please sign this letter, clients who have asked to be terminated are not allowed to take legal action on all the worst possible events.”clear the man to Amane.
Amane signed the letter without any hesitation.
“Please bring this walkie talkie to communicate.”follow the man in the black suit giving Amane a walkie talkie.
“A..Amane-san.”Hikari tries to stop Amane's intentions.
“Do not worry.”ucap Amane smiled at Hikari.
“Amane, enough of this is too much.”Hikasa tries to hold Amane back
holding shoulders.
“...”Hikasa was rather surprised after hearing Amane's words.
“Destroying means protecting, protecting something precious to Koharu-sama, and wiping out any threat to something Koharu-sama wants to protect.”ucap Amane on Hikasa.
Amane's words recalled Hikasa when Amane tried to attack him first on the School's roof.
“You will be destroyed.”ucap Amane in the memory of Hikasa at that time.
“Destroying means protecting.”think Hikasa.
“Protect something valuable to Koharu.”
“Yaitu..”.
“AKU.”
Hikasa had realized a truth from the mysterious girl who had suddenly attacked him on the school rooftop.
**
Amane has been in the specified position, precisely on a field with tactical grass which is a special facility owned by the protection service provider company.
Amane closed his eyes, trying to focus on creating the highest level of concentration in his heart and mind.
One hundred snipers with silencers had been scattered randomly in every corner of the field, of course, it will not be easy to guess their existence due to the silencer that serves to inhibit the loudness of the sound caused by a long-range killing rifle.
One hundred random snipers opened fire, the sound of the gun's mouth dancing in the air and interlocking with each other.
Amane quickly pulled the two bayonets tied between her skirt suits, not seeing what happened next.
Several sniper bullets were seen hitting the ground around Amane, causing a thick dust plume and blocking the view.
The sound of gunfire from the hundred snipers ended, the dust puff that had previously soared in the air and blocked the view slowly faded.
There stood a person, with a cold gaze as well as a very thick killing aura felt, even though he stood far away from the people who were watching him.
Amane stood gallantly among the hundreds of bullets that almost stockpiled his shoes. His gaze was very sharp, his breathing was slow but rhythmic, the reddish bangs from his hair moved slowly until they almost covered his eyes.
“Amane-san!!”hikari shouted, her eyes swollen with tears that she had been holding back because of her concern for Amane.
After the sniper squad ended, it was now the turn of a hundred men with semi-automatic melee weapons standing around Amane.
Amane crossed both bayonets in his hand to form a defensive position. He closed his eyes again until he entered the highest level of concentration.
One hundred men with the melee automatic weapon opened fire. This time the sound caused is very noisy, so it feels almost break the eardrum.
It was impossible for one to survive in such a sphere of noise without the help of ear protection devices.
But there…
Amane was still standing gallantly and enduring unharmed…
Piling bullets up between his shoes, Amane stood firm as a tombstone between the graves of bullets.
“It's enough stop!”pinta Hikasa to the man in the black suit who had been in charge of commanding the troops that attacked Amane.
“I'm fine.”ucap Amane with breath gasping, he heard Hikasa's speech from the walkie talkie he had given him before.
This walkie talkie was used as a sign that Amane changed his mind and intended to stop.
“Stupid!!”shout Hikasa.
“It's enough, Amane-san stop!”shout Hikari.
A hundred people with melee martial skills had now formed a position surrounding Amane. Just waiting for the cue to start the fight.
Amane stuck his two bayonets to the ground, he lowered his body to salute.
“Thank you for giving me a chance.”ucap Amane saluted a hundred martial arts fighters in front of him.
Slowly he formed the position of the fighting horses, even though his breathing was no longer regular, he still tried to focus on reaching the highest point of concentration.
The fight began, hundreds of fighters from various streams attacked Amane simultaneously. It was indeed unethical for a martial artist to gang up on a girl alone.
But still…
Again and again…
Amane succeeded in subverting fifty men by inflicting fatal wounds, and fifty of them decided to withdraw from the fight.
They lowered their bodies while forming a position of paying respect to Amane. They acknowledged Amane's strength and decided to end the fight.
Amane stood there as a victor, defeating three hundred men without being scratched in the least.
“Now you understand, Hikasa?”
“If these people can't kill me, then they have absolutely no chance to protect you."Amane said softly to Hikasa, Hikasa who heard this slowly bowed his face with a look of despair.
“The bayonet is destroyed.”ucap Amane while staring at the bayonet that has been partially destroyed.
“I don't have any money to replace the new one.”

*In the club room*
Next day..
“Now I understand the situation a little, the situation is really bad.”ucap Hikari opened the chat, it seems that Hikari has understood the complicated situation faced by Hikasa.
“They will not attack for the next week.”ucap Amane.
“We can't make sure it's careless right? They can attack at any time when we are off guard.”balas Hikasa.
“We will be safe for the next week.”Amane pulled out his cell phone, showing a news article from an online media on Hikasa and Hikari.
“They lost black market access, the police have dismantled the illicit activity that took place on the black market and arrested the culprit. They will have trouble getting equipment.”tuan Amane explained.
“This is a big advantage, we can take advantage of the time available to practice and do club activities.”sheet.
Not far from where they were chatting, there was the sound of footsteps approaching, the footsteps came from Yoshifumi who was the chairman of the supernatural club.
“Then this is the right time to start your first assignment as part of the club.”ucap Yoshifumi cut the chat.
“Hikari.. What's prepared?”ask Yoshifumi.
“Ah, that one.. I've collected information and printed it.”balas Hikari while removing some sheets of paper from her bag.
“As Hikari explained earlier, the supernatural club writes articles based on the original experiences and visits of its authors.”
“Your first task as a club member is to visit this place.”
Yoshifumi showed a piece of paper depicting an old building surrounded by a lake around it.
“This place is famous by the nickname ‘The Ghost after rain’ according to locals, there will be the spirit of a girl in a red dress who appeared using an umbrella at midnight on the lake near the building.”
“According to the news that circulated, the girl died mysteriously as heavy rain fell, this is a great opportunity to create an article and start your first assignment as a member of the club.”ucap Yoshifumi is excited.
“T..wait a minute, we can not enter there carelessly right?”hikasa Reply.
“About that, I have taken care of the entry permit on one of the people who inherited the building, we can start our activities tonight.”balas Yoshifumi.
“This is great right Hikasa-san, Amane-san, with this you will get used to the task as a member of the supernatural club.”ucap Hikari cheers Hikasa and Amane.
“That males.. Though I want to play the game tonight.”think Hikasa with a look of lazy face.
“I have to work..”ucap Amane flat.
“If I'm delinquent on rent again then I'll really be kicked out by the owner
building.”itsambungnya with a look of panic.
“Hikasa let's get ready!”said Amane who suddenly got up from his chair.
“E..it.. Wait a minute!”
Amane pulled up Hikasa's sleeves and took him away from the club room, Yoshifumi and Hikari just stared at them with wry eyes.
