[Launch 3]

Yamanobe, who had left Nishino and the others, carried Yanagida on her back and went down the emergency stairs of the building. During that time, there was a voice that suddenly reached her ears.

"Hey, hey! Let Risa go!"

It was a woman's scream. The scream comes from the fifth floor floor, her voice was heard from the other side of the iron door leading to the exterior. If the scream had come from outside, it would have been heard more clearly, as the fire escape also faced outwards. There was no doubt that it was coming from inside. 

If it's an abandoned building in the process of being demolished, with electrical equipment removed and surveillance cameras not working, it's a great location to do what you can't tell the to the people. The fact that the voice was that of a woman also makes it easy to imagine the context. 

".....It must be from inside the building." 

The sound of the kurogal swallowing her raw saliva was strangely loud and gurgling. She stopped.

268

"Yukki, I'm sorry. Let me check for a moment ... "

She laid Yanagida in the corner of the stairs. Then, she opens the iron door to the inside of the building just a little. A gap of a few centimetres allowed her to look inside. It was just as she had imagined it would be. A few meters down the corridor, in front of a half-opened door facing an inner corridor, she could see a man and a woman in a frenzy. Two high school girls in school uniforms were accompanied by a man who looked to be in his thirties. One of them is about to be grabbed by the hair and dragged into the room. In response, the remaining one is screaming. The sound of this scream echoed in her ears. 

"Just get in there." 

"You're pulling my hair."

"You, shut up"

A man's fist is raised at the chairwoman, who is screaming. After witnessing the scene, Yamanobe closed the door softly. She looks back and forth between Yukki and the other side of the door. After a few moments, she was ready to go.

269

"Sorry, Yukki. i'll be back soon." 

She went to the ninth floor and ran up the stairs in a panic. She arrived at the room from which she had just left. There, she could still see Nishino and Rose arguing with each other. She ran up to them and spoke loudly. 

"Hey, both of you, please come with me ! "

"You're a very noisy woman......."

"A girl is being attacked by a strange man! I think it's one of the people who kidnapped us! I know it's selfish of me to ask, but can you help me?  They were wearing the same uniform as you two!" 

" What ? " 

The same uniform as the two of you, Nishino reacted to the phrase. The look on his face is immediately grim. On the other hand, Rose and Gabriella, on the other hand, are calm when asked to help.

"Why should i listen to your request ..." 

She was about to make a slight remark when she noticed the expression on Nishino's face.

270

It's the futsumen that seems to be impatient. Then she changed her mind. It would be better, she thought, if she accepted Yamanobe's wishes, so that she could have a stronger influence on the man she loved. She would be able to show her superiority in the exchange that awaited her. Above all, even if she didn't agree, the man in front of her would probably run out of the room. It would be impossible for Rose to stop him, even in her current state of excitement. Then it's better to go with them. 

"If that's the case, i'll come and help you at once." 

" ...Sister ? "

After her uncharacteristic behaviour, a question appeared on Gabu-chan's face. Rose, unconcerned by this, took the first step forward.

"Come on, can you show us the way? " 

"Yes, yes! This way!" 

The kurogal who has just met Rose nods obediently. Naturally, Nishino followed them.

"I will go with you"

"Oh, wait. i don't want to leave it alone."

271

Gabu-chan's followed at the tail end. They all departed the ninth floor, led by Rose, who ran off happily. 

◇ ◆ ◇

The chairwoman regretted what she had done. If she hadn't seen Rose and Gabriella on the fire escape at the karaoke bar, or if she had seen them but hadn't raised his voice in their presence, none of this would have happened. Or if she hadn't left the bathroom just a little later. The thought of remorse kept recurring in her mind, tormenting her conscience. 

"Hey, i can't contact the boss." 

"Did you call?" 

"'They're not answering." 

"What's going on?" 

She and Lisa are currently confined to a room on the fifth floor. Their hands were wrapped behind their bodies with duct tape and they were left in a secluded space. The hard, cold floor was straining the flesh of her buttocks through her skirt.

272

In the middle of the room are the two men who have abducted the girls. Their voices echo indoors.

"We need to get out now or the police will come."

"You, go and have a look."

"I don't want to. It's a bit of a pain going up the stairs, isn't it?"

"What? It's a pain in the ass for me."

"The elevator doesn't move."

"Okay. You go."

"I told you, i don't want to go."

They were arguing with each other with their phones in hand. Risa and the chairwoman are terrified of the men who have become so violent in their words and actions. 

" ...... "

Lisa's body shakes as she overhears the lively exchange. The way she squeezed her eyes shut and squeezed her shoulders made her look frightened even to the casual observer. Shimizu's sitting next to her, could not help but notice her. 

273

Her back was hunched and her legs were pulled up to her chest, making him look very small and uncomfortable. Her whole body was trembling and shaking. 

"..."

She is in a very similar situation. She want to cry out at the top of her lungs right now. The time with Takeuchi-kun was fun and enjoyable. Karaoke after a long time. It was a necessary change of pace in order not to be depressed by the disappointing exam results and to start working hard again tomorrow. Why is she being kidnapped and held captive by a group of men she didn't know? She felt like throwing everything away, crying out and begging for someone to help her. 

"... Hey, Risa"

However, if there is a weaker person nearby, you can become a little stronger. That was the personality of the chairwoman. She calls out to care for her quivering friend.

"...... Chairwoman?"

"It's okay, Risa everything will be fine."

"..."

274

"So don't be pessimistic." 

More importantly, the chairwoman of the committee was in a bit of a bad mood today. After the recent unfortunate events, she was feeling a lot of anger. 

"I'll take care of it......." 

The pain in the cheek is the most severe.That cheek aches. The taste of blood is still seeping into her mouth. It seems that her nose has been broken.

Her cheeks throbbed and ached from both inside and out, and a pent-up frustration welled up in her chest. In her normal state of mind, it would have been difficult for her to show any courage against the two rough looking men, no matter how strong her heart was. She hugged Lisa at best, and she was so good. But today she was different. Her mind wandered away from the two men in front of her and gone into a sea of resentment. Shimizu thinks it was Rose who caused the problem in the first place.

275

276

It was her own fault. But that doesn't matter to the chairwoman. She thinks about her own happiness and daily life, which is about to be destroyed because of her involvement with an unknown blonde lolita, and accelerates her thoughts. Yes, Rose is not good to begin with. 

"..."

Moreover, she was beaten. This doesn't mean she can't concentrate on her studies. The mid-term exam is over, but even the cram school has an exam. The growing frustration soon overwhelmed the chairwoman ability to handle the stress. The frustration that had been inflicted on her over the last few months had pushed her over the edge. Her mental breakdown led her to one conclusion. 

"...........Chairwoman"

"..........."

277

The feeling of having snapped Nishino's first molar came back to her mind. The casual success of violence gives her the strength to make up her mind. The chairwoman's pent-up resentment seemed to have been ignited. It was the moment when irritation overcame fear, and the first thing that came to mind was the role of organising Class 2A. 

"Risa, I need you to be quiet for a minute." 

"Oh, my God, chairwoman. What are you ......" 

"Just shut up."

With a snap, the chairwoman slowly stood up. Their arms were tied behind their backs, but their legs were free. They had the freedom to stand up and move around as long as they didn't worry about their skirts being pulled up. The men, meanwhile, are too busy arguing. The yelling gets louder and louder.

278

As a matter of fact, Risa didn't feel like she could escape. She felt that they were nothing but helpless women. But her friend, who had been caught with her, was not so sure. She ran towards the men.

" ....... " 

Risa almost shouted and swallowed this. In front of her, the chairwoman's foot is kicked up vigorously. One of the men, who were arguing with each other, came up behind him to the groin. 

"Oh, oh !" 

One of them notices the chairwoman's movement and shouts. However, it is already too late to avoid it. Shimizu's kick, with all her might, had accurately finished off the man's testicles. 

"Ah...? " 

With an indistinct scream, the man collapses on the spot. He held his crotch with both hands and began to suffer in a caterpillar-like position. 

"You son of a bitch" 

 The other man, in a rush, raised his arm towards the chairwoman. 

279

The man immediately pulls back his arms and quickly tightens his grip on his body. At the same time, he bends his knees to the inside and activates his cock guard. At the same time, he extended his other arm towards his opponent's shoulder. He wants to grab her and put her down. It was a move that seemed to demonstrate his familiarity with fighting.

However, when it comes to hitting the balls, the chairwoman had some experience. She didn't think she could win with a straightforward blow, so she pulled her knee back to her body immediately after the swing. At the same time, she turned her body backwards and twisted her torso diagonally to the left, so that the bottom of her feet were facing her opponent. This naturally lowers the shoulder position. 

Shimizu had witnessed a similar cock guard in a previous fight with Nishino. Not only had she been prevented from hitting the balls, but she had also hurt her opponent by slamming her shins into his knees, so she had learnt first-hand how to more efficiently smash a man's crotch. 

 After her bath, she would sometimes practice. There were days when she was embarrassed when her sister saw she doing it. It was a surprise to her that the day would come when he would actually practice it. Thanks to her, the sequence of events was beautifully set. 

280

" ... " 

The man's arms were raised in the air as his upper body was lowered. She pushes her legs out as far as they will go. Her heel strikes the man's crotch.

"Ahhhhhhhhh ! " 

The floor echoed with the sound of a dying man's voice. The blow was even better than the previous one. Thanks to the muscles and bones of her thighs supporting her from behind, Shimizu's heel met him head-on and crushed his testicles without mercy, crushing them cruelly. The man falls to the floor and starts to blow bubbles. This is a surprise to the chairwoman. She gets the feeling on the soles of her feet that the man's balls have been crushed, which gives cold on her arms. Even Shimizu, a woman, knows from her knowledge of health and physical education that a crushed testicle can never be recovered. But she doesn't have the chance to look at him with pity.

"Chairwoman, your back! " 

Risa's scream echoed around the room. Without any further explanation, the chairwoman reflexively moved.

281

She turns her body sideways, opening her legs and turning her upper body, in the same way as in the first radio exercise. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a knife pass over the spot where her head had just been. A normal woman would have been horrified at first sight. Her whole body must have cowered in fear, unable to move. Her subsequent movements would have been slowed. But today, on the other hand, the chairwoman's will to fight is ignited. He could not help but hate the blow that had been struck in an attempt to kill him. At this moment, the pain in the cheek does not matter as much. The body and mind are in motion and will not stop. 

"You've got to be kidding me!"

 He shouted loudly and slammed his head into the side of his opponent's head. It's like a giraffe fight. 

" Now ... " 

The man's body stumbled as he was hit by an unexpected force from a different direction. The chairwoman, on the other hand, managed to counterbalance the change in his centre of gravity by swinging his upper body, which would have caused him to fall, by hitting the man on the head.

282

She fights back the shock to her brain that makes her eyes roll back in her head, and immediately sees the man in front of her. There, the man was rushing to get his knife ready again. This frustrated the chairwoman particularly. Three times she swung her legs up in the air.  

" ... " 

The man, fearing for his balls, quickly put his knees inside and activated his cock guard. However, the chairwoman's toes had gone beyond his testicles and were holding the handle of a knife in his hand. Her hip joints are very soft, having been trained in swimming. Her legs, which were higher than he thought possible, flicked the knife out of his hands.

"Hey ... " 

The man was surprised by this. The knife flew out of his hand with great force and plunged into the ceiling. In no time at all, Shimizu's body is in motion. 

"You bastard "

The crisis of a close friend makes the chairwoman stronger. Unreasonable violence drives her to justice. A failed midterm exam makes her violent.

 

283

And above all, the presence of the hateful blonde lolita makes the chairwoman take a step forward. The next moment, with all his might, he unleashes a savage kick that catches the man in the testicles.

◇ ◆ ◇

Receiving a request from the kurogal, Nishino and his friends hurried to the fifth floor of the building. As soon as they stepped into the building from the fire escape, they heard a scream. It was the voice of a man, unknown to them. They are relieved to realize that it is not a woman's voice, but the situation is still unclear and everyone is alert. 

"Over there......."

"I hear a man's voice."

"Wasn't it a woman who was captured? '

284

"It's true, isn't it? It's really a girl!"

Rose leads the way, followed by Nishino, Gabriella and Yamanobe.

285

The four rushed towards the source of the screams. What they see is a room with an open door. The door was left open and we could hear the sound of people fighting inside. Judging by the screams that had just been heard, they were sure that this was the place. Everyone is walking towards the room. From the corridor, they check the room. Then they saw the chairwoman. It is Shimizu who is in the middle of the action right now. She dodges a knife from behind, head-butts her opponent to scare him, and kicks the weapon away. The sequence of events was very vivid to the eyes of everyone watching. It was as if they were watching an action movie, was the first thought that came to Yamanobe's mind.

"Wow, that's amazing ... "

 A voice of admiration leaks.With her hands tied behind her back, the chairwoman was still flying and jumping. Her wild fight with his whole body was so impressive that it caught everyone's attention. 

286

" ...... Chairwoman" 

This made Nishino think twice. In his thoughts, he wondered about her background, her family history and so on. She was behaving in a way not typical of a high school girl today, and he suspected that her identity was similar to his own. That's how beautifully the chairwoman's combo worked. It was the result of coincidence, but it was more than she had expected.

"...... " 

Immediately after kicking the man, Shimizu felt the presence of someone in the entrance of the room. An unexpected voice made her face tense. The body, prepared in fear of enemy reinforcements, is low and ready for battle. But what she saw when she turned around was a group of people she knew too. 

"Eh ... " 

The chairwoman was stunned by the unexpected encounter. It was Rose, who stood at the head of the group, who called out to her.

"I didn't even have to come to help" 

The chairwoman was the only person standing in the room. 

287

 The two men Yamanobe had accused of abducting him, were all lying on the floor in agony. Both were holding their crotches with their hands, foaming and shaking.

"......This....is......"

With all eyes on her, the chairwoman suddenly became calm. She once again recalls her own deeds. Her shame turns her cheeks red, and wherever her momentum is, she begins to squirm. 

Chikako Shimizu, 16 years old. She is aiming for Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
