Event Story – THE LINK OF GUNSLINGER, ch.15

[kozvme]

 

Gast: Kh, I dun even feel like strikin'. Is it 'cause I'm usually under more extreme attacks?
Haaah!

Delinquent: Ow, that hurts, wai... lemme go!

Gast: Geez, are kids these days so quick to give up? How disappointing...
Here!

Delinquent: Gh! Shit...!

Fellow A: Maaan, Gast-san you're so damn strong! That's a hero for you!

Gast: I'm aware I ain't doin' anything commendable as a hero, so watch your mouth...
But this fight's over too soon, I wonder from where those guys were from?

Fellow B: Ga- GaGaGaGast-san! T- That's...!




Gast: Wh... Eclipse!?

Delinquent: ... If you thought we were simple delinquents you're an idiot.
We want to make a new Lost Garden and a trading base out of Red South... that's why we're here.
It's hidden and since it's a gathering spot for delinquents people rarely get near here. It was a nice place...
But you're always gettin' in the way... Who woulda thought a hero of all people'd come here!

Gast: I didn't see it comin' either...!



Ren: ......

Jay: Is Gast not here yet?

Ren: ... No. He said he'd be back by the time it starts, but it's been more than two hours.
At this rate, he may not make it in time for his turn. What is that guy doing...

Jay: Did Gast go to his gang?

Ren: That's what he said.
I had just gotten up, so I vaguely remember, but it seems he was told someone was lingering around and was asked to join them or something.

Jay: Do you think you know where he went?

Ren: He said he was going to where his gang was, but...

Jay: I see. If we knew the location, we could go pick him up...

Ren: ......



Gast: ... Shit!

Fellow A: Gast-san!

Gast: Idiot-- forget about me and get outta here, quick!
I'm a hero. It's normal for me to go against Eclipse... so don't worry about me!
Listen, whatever happens, do not come here! Get everyone and run as far as possible from here!

Gang: Got it...!

Gast: (... After sayin' that, they'll probably not gonna come here.
I have fought Eclipse before, but... this is the first time I'm alone.
There are even several​ of them...)

Ahー does this mean I'm kinda in a pinch?

Khh!?

... No use crying over spilled milk. They'll get in touch with HELIOS soon. I just gotta hold up for now...
