2-11: The Border Between Justified and Excessive (1/5)
They say that humans dream every night. Only, they cant rember them all.
But there is one dream that Nakamura Shinichi just cant seem to forget.
A dream about a certain mory.
It wasnt a unique tale by any ans.
A boy on his last breath was saved by a group of kindhearted people. The boy tried to repay their kindness, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldnt do anything. In the end, he prayed to god and killed all of his benefactors, then he lived happily ever after.
The End.
It was such a dumb story that it was more likely to be taken as satire rather than tragedy.
The kind of story that would leave one in painful laughter rather than lantation.
After all, humans were very good at adapting.
Run the sa dream for two years, and its only natural that the tears would dry up and the wails grow silent. The only thing left: a creaking heart.
Humans are such terrifying creatures because they can even get used to sothing like this.
No matter how the tis or place may change, so long as there are people, then though there might be so differences here and there, so things will never change.
For one, there will always be criminals.
Two n wore a blonde wig to disguise their real hair. They walked alongside each other.
Blonde was a color that would allow them to pass by unnoticed from the passersby.
They were looking for a timid woman with a bag who was evidently not used to this place.
If one thought about it a little, it wouldnt take much to realize that these n were looking to snatch her purse.
As for their getaway, theyre probably thinking of relying on their high agility rank and disguise to get them by.
This would be their 13th mission, but it doesnt seem at all as if they would be caught.
In a sense, these two were not criminals born by the age, but criminals committing cris purely on their own volition.
They did not have any circumstances that would make one empathize with them.
No. They were rely fools who enjoyed stealing from others and running away.
Found her, one of them said briefly as he indicated to his partner the target.
The person they were looking at was a girl wearing glasses about 15 to 18 years old, who was looking around her while wearing a cloudy expression.
It was evident that she had either lost her companion or was lost. She had a bag that she wore over her shoulders.
To these two crooks no situation could be better.
If theres any problem, then it would be the fact that the hair coming out of the girls beret was blue.
In other words, she was a Garestonian. But because of these two crooks recent success, they saw that little tidbit in an optimistic light. In fact, they saw that as a challenge.
You could also say that it was because the girl looked weak that they were willing to target her.
Lets go.
The modus operandi of these two crooks was simple.
One of them would intentionally bump onto the girl, while the other would grab her belongings while still distracted.
Like this, in the worst case scenario, no one would know that the two n were working together.
After a brief exchange, the two n signaled at each other with their eyes, and one side approached the girl.
The man slipped into the crowd from behind and walked toward the girl to hit her.
Youre in the way.
Kyaa!?
After being pushed out of the way all of the sudden, the girl staggered and looked at the guy who bumped into her.
This was a chance for the other man.
The other man rushed toward the girl and took her bag.
Huh? What Ah! Wait!
With everything happening so quickly, the girl couldnt respond in ti.
She knew that the bag she had on her had been taken away, but she couldnt react.
She didnt know whether to give chase or to cry thief.
The mont the two n succeeded, however, they let their guard down.
The man playing the role of the decoy lusted after the prey in front of him He lusted after the thing she was holding.
That was a pure Garesto-made terminal (Foster). Even if only the person registered in it could use it, it should still fetch a high price when sold. Because of that the man reached out toward that defenseless back.
Ouch. Kyaa!
The man grabbed her arms and forcefully took the foster, then he pushed the girl out of the way and ran.
This sudden turn of events left the girl frozen.
And despite falling on her backside, no one tried to help her. Perhaps theyd assud that soone had rely crashed into her because of the crowd of people.
The man acting as the bait used that as an opening to run away.
Ah, t-thief!
When the girl finally saw the back of that man running away, she cried thief, but unfortunately, it was a bit late, and when the surrounding people glanced at her, there was no thief left to be seen.
The two thieves chuckled to themselves how easy this was, but mysteriously, they ran toward the sa direction.
It was curious if that was rely a coincidence or they thought that there was no point in running toward different directions anymore, but regardless
W-What is this!?
Why are there so many people like this!?
Sothing unexpected blocked their way. It was a crowd of people as tight as a wall.
The two thieves didnt know this, but before they tried to snatch the girls purse, an artist had perford a guerrilla live here.
The concert had just ended, which is why there were so many people here in the first place. Unfortunately, for the two n, the great crowd of people had ford a wall, and they couldnt get through.
Without any other way to go, the two n had no choice but to turn around.
Of course, they also noticed that the back had gotten noisy.
Unfortunately or fortunately, they had never been in a situation where they had to break through; hence, when they were t with this situation, they couldnt keep their wits about them.
Tch. Get out of the way!
There was only one thing on their mind, and that was to run away. They even tried to brandish their weapons to clear a path.
If you dont want to get hurt, then move!
One of them took out a knife while the other took out a stun gun, causing the people to cry out and keep their distance from them.
It was dangerous to be seen by so many people, but they trusted their disguise too much.
The mont the path cleared and a family of four was revealed at the end, the fate of these two n was decided.
Move woman!
Youre in the way, brat!
As they ran, one of them turned his knife toward the woman, while the other pushed his stun gun toward the boy.
Although they didnt have any actual basis for it, they figured that doing this would surely clear the path open, but unfortunately, the only sentints contained within the two pairs of eyes eting them was a dangerous brilliance.
