I rely on myself

Chapter 11 Rebel Army

This is a nationally renowned chain of malls, so it has a wide variety of stores to satisfy anyone's shopping needs.

"Alice, this ice cream is really delicious."

"Although I don't want to agree with you, I agree with this point."

“This crepe is no slouch either.”

"Of course, I have done my research. I know all the desserts in this mall. So girls, do you want to go to the next place?"

"Of course." X3
Seeing the four people discussing the topic of desserts enthusiastically, Lin Yuan and Yihui, who were unable to join in the conversation, just watched quietly with a glass of juice each.

"Although Arisu's views on gender are a little different from ordinary people, but putting that aside, she is indeed like a caring older sister. In this case, Yihui, you don't have to worry too much about your sister being left without anyone to take care of her." Lin Yuan said after drinking a sip of juice.

After hearing this, Ikki nodded and agreed with this point, but he still said distressedly: "I am not worried about Arisuin, but Shizuku. Her current personality really makes me worry about what she will do in the future."

Seeing Yihui's distressed look, Lin Yuan wanted to comfort him, but he really didn't know what to say. After all, with such a weird personality, even someone like Lin Yuan who knew Yihui's family situation couldn't imagine how a normal person could develop such a personality.

"Or maybe it's because she has lacked family companionship for a long time. Anyway, Yihui, you should spend more time with your sister. Maybe she will get better later." Lin Yuan said something that even he himself did not believe.

"Hey, you two, why are you still standing there? I'm about to leave you behind."

It was then that Lin Yuan and his companions realized that they had already opened up a large distance between themselves and Qian Yin and the other three.

After a quick discussion, everyone decided to find a movie to watch, and Kurogane Shushizuku, who had been prepared, gave a recommendation.

This is a movie about the love between brother and sister.

Although they had long known that Kurogane Jushizuku had feelings for Ikki that were abnormal enough, at this moment, except for Arisuin, the other four people only felt that they had mixed feelings in their hearts, but they just couldn't put their finger on why.

Chiyin also looked at Ikki as if she saw a perverted sister-con.

Ikki was deeply shocked, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

Stella came to her senses and immediately expressed her objection. After a discussion among everyone (probably?), they finally decided to watch "Gandhi's Angry Liberation", a movie that everyone was curious about.

Just as everyone was heading to the cinema, Ikki suddenly mentioned that he wanted to go to the bathroom, and Arisuin also said that he wanted to go, so the two of them went to the bathroom together, and the remaining four went to the cinema to buy tickets first.

Just as Lin Yuan and his friends were on their way to the cinema, a group of unidentified people wearing black combat uniforms, gas masks and holding guns suddenly appeared.

One of them fired a few shots into the air, causing people in the mall to scream and pay attention. He then said in a teasing tone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but this place has been temporarily taken over by our Revolutionary Army. So can you please come down to the square and gather immediately? Otherwise, hehe..."

The Revolutionary Army is a notorious criminal organization throughout the world.

At the same time, they also have a more widely known name "Rebel Army". They believe that the sword-cutters are "humans chosen by God" and position ordinary people as "lower humans". They intend to use this classification to destroy the current social structure of "the sword-cutters must protect the powerless people".

Everything is done to build their paradise: a new world where "lower humans" are ruled by "new humans chosen by God" - the Swordsmen.

"It's so unlucky. I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing just when I came out to relax on the weekend." Lin Yuan said these words helplessly, which were enough to easily anger the "Rebel Army".

Qian Yin, who was standing by, was so scared that she immediately pulled Lin Yuan and said, "Hey, are you crazy? If they hear what you said, it will irritate them."

"Don't worry, I made sure to keep my voice down."

While comforting Qianyin, Lin Yuan also reminded Stella and Shushizu who were about to take action.

"Don't be impulsive, the two of you. If you act now, it might cause a bigger commotion, and it would be easy to drag in the surrounding guests as well. It's better to listen to them and gather together to see what happens."

"And Stella, you'd better find something to cover your face. After all, you've just been on TV before, and there's no guarantee that someone won't recognize you."

After hearing this, Stella and Zhu Shizuku also thought it made sense and stopped the action of summoning their own inherent spiritual equipment.

In this way, the four of them, along with other customers around them, gathered at the food court according to the instructions of the "Rebel Army".

On the other side, Ikki and his companions, who had successfully avoided the search of the rebel soldiers with the help of Arisuin's ability of Darkness Hermit, are now successfully contacting the chairman of the Pogun Academy, Shinguji Kurono, through the emergency contact in the student handbook.

"I understand the situation. Then, the six of you, Kurogane Ikki, Stella Famillion, Kurogane Jushizuku, Arisuin Nagi, Hayashimoto, and Chinatsu Chion, are allowed to use your abilities outside of school."

"Thank you very much, Chairman. Also, do you have any other information now?" After Ikki completed the application to use his abilities outside of school, he also asked if there was any other information.

"The prisoners are rebels, about twenty to thirty in total. All of them are armed with guns, and their goal is to get the ransom of the hostages and the property in the shopping mall. In short, it is their usual method to make money regularly."

"At the moment, there are no casualties. There were only minor injuries from a few people who were trying to escape in a hurry and fell. According to the surveillance footage released by the security company, the rebels have about fifty guests as hostages and are gathering them in the food court."

"······The food court? That's the place where we enjoyed dessert just now." Arisuin quickly understood where the hostages were now.

"That side is still within the range of their Shadow Walk, so we can go directly there."

Ikki was immediately surprised when he heard it: "Really? That's great. In this case, we can move to a more hidden place and observe the situation... Stella and the others must be there too."

Ikki understood that Stella and the other three would never abandon the others and would definitely hide themselves and blend in with the hostages.

Seeing this, Shinguji Kurono didn't know what to say, so he just said, "I think you should know that the safety of ordinary people is the first priority, so don't do anything reckless."
