“Niichan, let's hurry up and get out of here!”
“Hayato, use the grenade on your rifle to blow a hole in the fence up ahead!”
“Leave it to me!”
Hayato readied his rifle and fired at the fence.
Along with a light recoil and some spewed out fire, the underslung grenade launcher fired.
The grenade hit the fence where Hayato had aimed and blew open a large hole. The three sprinted straight towards the hole. It was their only escape path.
“Hayato, you go first! Kotarou, goes next!”
“Understood!”
“What about you, Niichan?!”
“I'll go last! Just in― hah?!”
Kenichi's precaution of going last while watching their backs paid off as he barely managed to prevent the surprise attack from an assailant not making any sound.
“I won't go down that easily!!”
Kenichi swung the single handed sword in his right hand and repeatedly fired the handgun in his left at the assailant. But the assailant elegantly jumped backwards and dodged the bullets.
“W-What's with this guy?!”
The assailant had a mechanical appearance, overall it had a humanoid shape. It was about as tall as an average grown man. However, looking at it closely, the limbs were too thin, as if they were just bones. On top of that, the hands and feet were equipped with large claws, making it look quite inhuman. Thanks to the metallic sheen one could tell it was a machine, but it was quite different from the humanoid robots that Japanese corporations made.
“The underground people's killer robot huh... damn it”
Kenichi frowned and held his side with his left hand. There was a large wound there; the assailant, the underground people's mechanical soldier, had cut him up as it jumped away. Despite its bony appearance, it was strong and quick. Kenichi believed he had prevented the attack, but the mechanical soldier was one step ahead. If it wasn't for his combat suit, the wound would have been fatal, though the wound was still deep and he spilled a lot of blood.
Not good... I can't escape like this... I'll have to–
Kenichi jumped back and stood with his back facing the hole in the fence,
“Kenichi, what are you doing?! Hurry up!”
“Hayato, Kotarou, you two go! I'll buy you time!”
Kenichi figured that at this rate they would be wiped out. Even if the three of them fought together, it would take time to defeat the mechanical soldier. During that time, the underground people would arrive. That said, he didn't want to endure attacks from the enemy giving chase and have them target the five as they grouped up. In order to prevent that, somebody needed to stay behind and slow down the mechanical soldier. Kenichi believed that since he had been injured, he was the most suitable for the job.
“You can't, Kenichi-niichan!”
“If I don't, nobody will return! Quit your yappering and go! Return to base with as much information as possible!”
As Kenichi said that, the mechanical soldier attacked. While Kenichi did his best with his sword and gun, he was clearly at a disadvantage. Kenichi's was repeatedly wounded from the mechanical soldier's claws.
“Kotarou!”
“Yeah!”
Hayato and Kotarou began running, however, it wasn't because they were obeying Kenichi's orders. Instead they were running towards Kenichi. They passed through the hole in the fence and entered the factory site once more.
“You idiots, what are you doing?!”
“I won't let you hog all the spotlight, Kenichi! Being cool is my job!”
“Daisaku-niichan and Megumi-neechan will bring the information back”
“Do you understand what you're doing?!”
“We know. We just can't leave you behind!”
“Niichan, we all came this far together. Let's stay together until the end”
“You guys...”
However, regardless of how much of an advantage they gained against the mechanical soldier, it was just a win on the surface. Before they could defeat it, they would be surrounded by the underground people.
“... Guess it can't be helped. In that case, let's give it our all. Depending on our efforts, the incoming fight will become easier”
“That's good. That's more like Red Shine”
“I wish Baron-san would have heard Niichan's lines. He definitely would have praised you”
At this point, the three knew that there was no turning back. They desperately steeled themselves, ready to take as many enemies as possible with them. That was their duty. They were soldiers who protected the peace. They were completely different from what they had been in the past. They took pride in their job.
