high rise invasion

The entire city surrounds us from all sides, the sound of battle filling the air. I stand next to the sniper, and I feel his presence beside me giving me strength.

Kwon watches the sniper from afar, her eyes filled with admiration, but she knows his heart is far from hers.

The sniper looks at me with a different look; sometimes I sense his interest in his actions more than his words.

Mayuko sits next to me, talking about Rika and her desire to protect him with everything she has.

We all know that the upcoming battle with Ai-sama will be the toughest, but we are ready.

I, the sniper, Mayuko, and our entire team… are ready to set out and begin the attempt to rescue Rika.

I clench my fists and say, "We must." "On his ruins, no matter the cost..."

Mayuko looked at me and spoke, "Yuri..."

Then she paused to gather her words. She continued, placing her hand on my shoulder and saying, "I will try with all my might to protect you... and save Rika."

Then she paused, and her face turned red when she mentioned Rika's name.

I smiled when I realized Mayuko's feelings toward my brother Rika... Then the sniper (Yu...chan) intervened.

"Me too, Yuri, I promise..."

Kion intervened, feeling a little jealous, but understanding the sniper's feelings toward me.

Then she spoke and said firmly, "I will try hard..."

In the end, I wasn't focused on the sniper's feelings from the beginning because I was trying hard to reach my brother.
