The Doll and The Prince - v2 Chapter 68 (Patreon)

Hiiro (36)
I can see two armored vehicles coming towards us.
When I put down Naruhito, his figure quickly disappeared.
Hitachimaru and Rikimaru were also running towards the armored vehicles.
It seems like Toshitane was heading that way too, so I gathered the rest of the group and moved away from the armored vehicles.

I should have gone there too. I was late to act.

The windows of the armored vehicles opened, and guns popped out.
I saw Naruhito climbing in through the open window of one of the vehicles.
In the other, an enemy showed their face and was immediately shot by Hitachimaru.
Another person showed their face but was shot and dropped the gun.

The armored vehicle that Naruhito climbed into started swerving.

Toshitane was shooting at the tires.
He jumped onto the slowing vehicle, tore off the door with his hands at the open window, stopped the car, and came out carrying Naruhito under his arm.
He was still recovering from an illness, damn it.
The other vehicle has somehow been stopped by Rikimaru and Hitachimaru and was now under control.
Flames started rising from the mansion.
Shit. My mansion.
My place where I gathered all my precious belongings.

"Kill everyone!"

I tried to go towards the armored vehicles with my gun in hand, but Aoba grabbed my arm.

"Lord Hiiro! Take a deep breath!"
"Shut up."

I glared at her seriously, but Aoba didn’t seem to be affected on the surface. Tch.
Toshitane returned and tried to hand over Naruhito.

"You carry him. They'll come to finish me off.”
"Hiiro. I wasn’t killed.”

Naruhito reached out towards me from Toshitane’s arms.

"Naru, you're amazing!"

Seeing Naruhito accept Aoba’s praise, I reluctantly put my gun back on my waist.

"Every single one of them! I'll make them regret not stopping me today.”
"Rikimaru is scared, don’t kill him."
"Hmph. Coward!"

He’s tired from just moving a little. He leaned his weight on me tiredly.

"It's Nijou."

Hitachimaru, who dragged everyone out of the armored vehicle, came back.

"I suppose so. I'll make them suffer the same fate."
"I'll accompany you."

Hitachimaru seemed quite angry too.

"I'll join as well."
"I'm going too."
"Naruhito, you will stay behind."

Ikumatsu spoke with a strong tone.
He gently took Naruhito’s arm and checked his pulse.
Then he looked at me as if to blame me for sending him out for suppression.

"He went on his own after I put him down."
"If you hadn't put him down, this wouldn't have happened."

Everyone is so straightforward.

But this distance feels very comfortable.

After calming down a bit, I started thinking about how to crush the Nijou household, and my mood improved.
