Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-734

Umiko saw the expression of the girl that had become her opponent, 'A grin?' She could feel that this girl had been liberated and tried to become a beast that tried to hunt her. She snorted, 'Who is a beast and who is a prey?'

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Her attack was very precise trying to pint down the girl in front of her to make her stop moving and cornered her to the edge of the field.

Tachibana dodged all of the bullets that attacked her and ran away to the right side while trying to find a chance to counterattack. She wasn't good at shooting and could only shoot from a close distance.

'I've got to get closer to her,' Tachibana thought while running away from her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tachibana felt a bit troubled since her opponent kept shooting at her legs, 'Dammit!' She really couldn't get close to her and ran around until she saw the edge of the field, "What?"

"You've been cornered," Umiko said while looking at her with a smirk.

"I'm not going to lose," Tachibana said.

"Is that so?"

Umiko and Tachibana turned and heard someone walking toward them. They saw two people walking toward them.

"Umiko-san, have you done yet?" Paula asked. She was bored waiting and wanted it to be over as soon as possible.

"Do you want me to help?" Yuuki asked.

"No, let me do it myself," Umiko said.

Tachibana was shocked when she saw both of them, "W - Where is both Matsuoka-san and Yukimura-san?"

"Who are they?" Paula asked.

"They should be her teammates," Yuuki said.

Tachibana was shocked when she heard him say, 'He knows that I'm a girl?' She shook her head and asked, "Where are they?"

Yuuki put his shotgun on his shoulder and said, "They've died, but don't worry since you will see them soon."

"You've become a villain here," Paula suddenly said.

Tachibana who had heard them suddenly felt a rage inside her body, "You guys?! I will kill you!" Her aura started to change and let out a bloodl.u.s.t toward them.

Paula raised her eyebrow and asked, "Umiko-san, do you really not need our help?"

"No, let me show you my skills now," Umiko said with a confident expression.

Tachibana didn't give them a chance and ran toward Umiko. She knew that it was her chance to attack her when she was talking with her teammates.

*Swosh!

'Has her speed increased? Interesting,' Umiko thought and started to shoot her rifle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tachibana ran toward her left side since the woman in front of her was holding a weapon using her right hand. She knew that it would be hard for the woman to shoot her when she ran toward this direction.

"You're too underestimate me," Umiko said while shooting toward her. She could feel the stare of both of them and decided to defeat the girl in front of her directly. She stopped shooting her gun and took her bullet to reload it.

'Chance!' Tachibana thought when she saw her reloading her bullet.

*Swosh!

Tachibana ran straight toward the woman deciding to throw her weapon away and shot from a short distance. She had a few seconds until her opponent had done to reload her weapon but suddenly she saw her raise her weapon and shot her.

'Huh?'

Bang!

"How?" Tachibana was shot in her stomach but she couldn't understand how she could lose.

"It might be a bit cheating but I have decived you earlier," Umiko said.

"You've deceived me?" Tachibana was shocked.

"Yeah, from the battle earlier I have concluded that you might be really bad at shooting and you can only shoot from a short distance, that is why I'm betting myself to bait you and deceive you by reloading my weapon," Umiko felt a bit bad and said, "You should learn how to shoot or else you will be defeated later."

Tachibana sighed and knew that it was her fault to be the one who got deceived by her. She needed to learn how to shoot or else she would be losing in the next battle.

"You might win against an amateur, but you're fighting in a Top Combat Gun, don't underestimate it, girl," Umiko said and walked toward them, "Let's go."

Tachibana felt very frustrated and hit the ground with her hand, "Dammit!"

Yuuki was confused about why a lot of people had exaggerated and made a lot of drama after a loss. He looked at Umiko and smiled.

"W - What's that expression?" Umiko felt confused by his smile.

"Nothing, I've thought that your style is very straight forward and honest but it seems that you can do a trick, too," Yuuki said.

"Well, this is a battle, there is nothing wrong as long as we can stay alive," Umiko said and added, "But I don't mind having a straight battle if only that girl has good shooting ability, then the match might become more interesting."

"We've beaten one of the top contenders, then should the rest be very easy?" Paula asked.

"Hmm, it might be, but you can't underestimate them," Umiko said.

They were talking to each other and went out from the field hearing the announcement from the organizer.

[The winner of this match is the team Predator!]

Every participant who saw three of them came out from the field couldn't help but look at them with a serious expression, especially when they finished the match in seven minutes.

"Congratulations!" Chitoge and Tsugumi said to three of them with a smile.

"How is it?" Tsugumi asked.

"It's not bad," Yuuki said.

Umiko looked at both of them and asked, "For the next match, do both of you want to enter the match?"

"Yes!"

Chitoge and Tsugumi answered without hesitation.

Paula and Yuuki didn't mind and waited in the waiting room watching their match from the screen.

'The first day,' Yuuki thought since there was still another day for the final. He felt that someone was staring at him and he saw that it was a team that was wearing a white uniform, 'If I'm not wrong, they should be from team Hoshishiro.' He wasn't sure but he felt a strange aura from that team.

"What's wrong?" Paula asked.

"Nothing," Yuuki shook his head and said, "Let's just watch the match."

Paula nodded in response.

Both of them were there until the first day of this competition was over.
