Shissou Suru Shishunki no Parabellum:Volume1 Chapter2
Part 1
The two boys and Shiho; they create their guns with their right arm and created a [Magazine] with their left hand around the same time. Though it seemed like a magic trick, there was no secret mechanism. They slam their gigantic magazine from their left hand into their right arm gargantuan gun’s receiver. Without wasting a single moment they pull the slide on top of the barrel assembly. The first bullet from the cartridge was loaded into the chamber as they pulled the slide. They could now fire at will. As soon as her gun was fully deployed, Shiho’s power and movements are enhanced. She lifts Itto with her left hand and kicks the bench at the two attackers before backing away.
“!”
The bench flies weightlessly and strongly at the two attackers. Let alone a girl, this act was impossible for any human. Upon deploying the firearm on her right arm (though the principle is still not understood), Hasegawa Shiho's strength was boosted. That weapon on her arm must have increased her strength.
The two men fired at the bench flying high-speeds toward them and turned it to a beehive. With a loud roar, the bench was demolished in a single moment. While debris blocked their vision, Shiho moved further away while shooting, an impact several times more intense than a roller coaster hitting Itto as they moved. Using high speed movements, Shiho jumped into the wooded area, hiding in the bushes Everything happened in instant.
Shiho held her breathe while scanning the area around her.
The two enemies temporarily lost sight of Shiho and Itto.
However, the park was small. If they searched the nearby bushes, the two would be found immediately.
“What….was that?”
Lowering his voice as much as possible, Itto asked Shiho
“Ah”
Shiho, in a small voice, responded.
“[Psycho Ballistic Firearms], alias [P.V.F.]. Translating it into Japanese... it would be ‘Firearms of Mental Bullet’…I guess? Although I say that, I'm not quite sure myself...”
“... In other word?”
“In other word, a human's mind forms a weapon. The bullets are also created through our mental will.”
“…Huh?”
“Those who can use [P.V.F.] are called <Parabellum>.”
“That’s the first time I ever heard such things…….”
“Well, we <Parabellum> try to hide our powers. Beside….”
“Beside…..?”
“<Parabellum> have only been present in recent years. In truth, no one really knows what the situation is.”
Itto was surprised. A special ability born only recently, such a dangerous power was used to fight.
“I'll give you more details later. There are others who can give you better explanations.”
So she said.
“Why did those two attack you so suddenly?”
Itto asked.
“That, well, I don't know, either...”
“What?”
“The <Parabellum> from the high school in the next town... They have misunderstood something. They said 'Our companion was attacked by the <Flight> from Kido High', but we haven't done anything.
Again, word he doesn't understand.
“What is <Flight>?”
Firearms produced by the human mind---
For the time being, Itto needed to know one more thing.
So he asked.
“... How can I get it?”
“There are two methods...”
“Yeah?”
“One way is to perform surgery on you. It's a simple operation, of course, but it's impossible in this situation.”
--- Surgery. Definitely impossible.
“The other is... this.”
Shiho took out a small case of medicine from her pocket.
She opened the lid and showed Itto its contents.
Inside the plastic case were many white pills.
“This heightens the abilities of a <Parabellum>. One tablet, no water required. If a <Parabellum> takes it, it temporarily improves our abilities, but there are side effects, so not many use them often... If a normal person consumes it, there is a chance they will awaken... but that's dangerous.
It's dangerous enough for a <Parabellum> to take it; the average person's brain might burn out...”
After taking one, Shiho returned the case to her bosom.
“…….”
Brain death---
A tremendous risk.
“Uu.”
Shiho's face was distorted in pain.
“Were you shot just now?”
“A bullet grazed me...”
Shiho rubbed her flank.
The clothes were not damaged.
“Since the bullet is made of human will,”
Shiho explains:
It will hurt [only] the human mind and nerves. Even if someone becomes disabled, no evidence will remain.
Ozuma says the <P.V.F> could be the worst assassination tool ever."
“Injuries...” Itto grated his teeth.
--- What the hell should I do?
“It's fine. Run away.”
Shiho smiled brightly as she spoke.
“You and I have only just met. There's no need for you to worry about a girl you don't know disappearing from school, right? It's fine to forget, so run away.”
Leaving those words behind, Shiho jumped from the bushes. To let Itto escape, she planned to play the decoy without his permission. In the grass in the words surrounding a park, Itto was left alone.
