The sniper immediately pulled his eye away from the high-powered scope, his heart racing.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcYGgrWrU7

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbwwrVQ12

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSdzN7tqlS

"What the fu—" the assassin exclaimed, completely thrown off balance.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeGnjaSj1t

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Z2B4pmKx

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8X7MUajsd

He quickly leaned back down, peering through the lens once again. To his absolute surprise, P was still glaring directly back through the scope.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2LUk2sLfF

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwbUrCL9F4

The assassin, thoroughly shocked but trying to remain calm, lifted his head entirely away from the rifle. He glanced out across the dark amusement park at the fast-moving rollercoaster cars rushing along the metal tracks.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKh1uZMc0W

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBI3qkj5Y

"Who the hell is this guy...?" he muttered.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9vtlsKxZU

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJipvv1HKqA

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzAEY0ZqEH

Unbeknownst to the assassin, P wasn't actually staring at him at all. He was smiling warmly from the rollercoaster at a massive, brilliant beam of light projecting a corporate logo into the night sky. It was a giant Temu sign displaying:

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRbZDM1sPr

*There are actually five major buildings in this amusement park, which implies that the number of assassins with snipers positioned across them would be approximately two or three,* P calculated subconsciously as he took a steady breath.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ8Pc2HiQ3

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMij7KvFYpk

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCQYsO1QSg

*It should be so. If I ever owned a cult that powerful, there's no need to waste excessive resources just to get rid of a single girl. I'd rather deploy a small group of highly trained elites to secure her. So, the snipers in the five distinct buildings are likely three, and definitely wouldn't exceed four. I'm not entirely sure... but at least I managed to spot one of them on the left side of the amusement park,* P noted, taking another breather.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Leeh4tCX

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFRLxTMFZE

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnp5vmVpTe

*I had to seriously strain my eyes to be able to spot him, aaand I was luckily able to block Hanabi with my body while glaring in his general direction.... all this thanks to the cheap Temu advertisement lighting up the skies right behind him,* P chuckled subconsciously.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHLlbubXFT

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloRJvaBI9O

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgcfdFGCDP

*But as for the rest of them, I won't be able to spot them so easily from up here. They will be entirely free to open fire the exact moment we step off this ride. There are also more of them stationed on the ground—not a massive horde, but a dangerous handful. I have to be incredibly clever to at least protect this woman and take them down from bel—*

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVYrNupjpn

P's internal monologue was violently cut off.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRBgl1HW36

He was immediately brought crashing back to reality by a piercing, ungodly screeching sound right next to his ear.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoteEsIdVV

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPp6E0RDfp

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCWyfgOcnT

"Arggg! My ears...!" P jolted in physical pain.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItqJhImCey

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fDq5dPPjF

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKA0BdgLA6

"HEEEEERRRGGGG.......!!!"

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wg6yrLyIb

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjGp7O9sBj

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjH5GHBZeU

Hanabi was screaming at the absolute top of her lungs.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymnoSaYKwY

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ewwr5bZqc

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6NXjeXMjx

The other passengers on the rollercoaster, who had once been screaming in pure thrill and cheer, were now sitting in a state of disturbing, miserable pain. The riders in the front seats and the back rows behind P and Hanabi turned around, casting painful, incredibly angry glares right at them.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAsUVz0hTt

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gxvWap242

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzm85r42aZ

P looked around at the seats in front and behind him, a deeply awkward expression crossing his face as the passengers aggressively started to complain over the wind.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QC8s6A9US

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEDj09JimP

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFzEw3pq0W

"Tell your damn girlfriend to shut up...!" a passenger roared.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WamWgQwA6

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAUkGSkQWD

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFhXuiEggs

"She's making so much noise I can't even think!" another one yelled, holding his head.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvB3qrLwO3

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH3ULx8Fvh

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP69wgUYGh0

"I'm gonna literally die from her voice... make it stop...!" a third rider screamed, tears in his eyes as he clutched his ears.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJmoCll6Zc

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSc06xZiJI

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR3wpRlXtl

P was forced to awkwardly mouth apologies to everyone around them. He then turned to the endlessly screaming Hanabi on his right, glancing down at her in complete disbelief.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskdJWqUEe7

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp2BzApNKs

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7oHzpi8P5

Facing forward with a profoundly disturbed look on his face, P finally raised his right hand, firmly slapping it over her mouth to muffle the continuous screech.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0U0xsgcXZ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1gQhhYHKE

The rollercoaster train finally decelerated, coming to a complete stop as it parked at the exit platform.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAYAzPJJxU

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7j8GML613

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHdf1w79NY

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyGzkd92zs

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C7teGVtxU

The passengers quickly exited offboard, aggressively complaining to each other about their damaged hearing.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCCVYcNRf

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTcVkl0BFJ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00ftAWAkbf

Hanabi slowly placed one step out of the coaster car. P got up right after her, stepping out of the ride in a bizarrely stiff, strange manner.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5BCXL1oRF

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEt0pG4tWC

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKKLeVpguJ

Hanabi took a second step onto the platform, walking forward slowly. Her face was completely emotionless, frozen in a state of shock.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsJ4bhBNc5

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRbIqVFhEX

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Tr9n7Jnk

Suddenly, a massive, bright smile broke across her face.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyFrDTPabU

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoCudRebrG

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxi0IM91yu

"That was......... FUN!" Hanabi cheered happily.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPHvZd1XVB

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfbV8cwBVA

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYEiEzYeuE

"Let's do it again...!"

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQQm1foD8

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVy6tFKPi8

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpck8cwLrc

She happily whipped her head to her right side. "P...?"

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNCYuElbvl

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZivnELFXiK

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj6DXtMfT8

P was standing completely still, his face tilted straight upward toward the sky.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4HN8Q8vtz

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6XwWsgDGN

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFwvpo7cZd

"...P?" Hanabi called out, walking over to him.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx0uIuQ8Pt

She stopped right beside his rigid body and shook his shoulder, calling his name twice. It wasn't until she peered closely at his face that she realized his state.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghzJjbkecw

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac203sX9Yi

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdN1oKLzYW

P's eyes were completely pure white, and his jaw hung dropped open like he was a corpse about to give up the ghost right through his mouth. He was utterly traumatized, having reached his absolute psychological limit. All thanks to Hanabi's screeching, which had taken a severe toll on his senses, leaving him standing there completely lifeless.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bN4ERMvQ7

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qMm5zwHgu

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lIw0A4P8w

"P.... P... P—!" Hanabi shouted, shaking him harder.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ppPmnev7l

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQukKMOBKs

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kUHqcndjj

P violently snapped back to reality, his vision returning. He instantly whipped his head left and right in a panic, then glanced down at Hanabi.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlHQYxQ04c

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXjbWTqxz1

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufLIGyggev

"What...?" P asked, his voice deeply disturbed.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcYUiZBz64

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rai2t9mj1

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOgPHS1RuT

"Let's go again...!" she said excitedly, bouncing on her heels.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIz6qG5iwA

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy8e0SOtXu

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbwLxbhwoJ

"Hmm...? No. Over my dead body," P said flatly, staring down at the floor.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNxaBZU7zR

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDH2YhOLHH

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSAh8UHjmt

"Why not...?! I thought you said you wanted to make up for what you did to me this morning!

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy9sKdGhpk

Do you have any idea how I felt?!" Hanabi baffled, aggressively gripping the fabric of his Lakers jacket.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB22twVntbX

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpkFElkAM2

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMNxDcvtKK

"Well...." P couldn't even finish his words before the female rollercoaster attendant marched directly toward them.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIbr5WvbuE

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eBhY2ULkB

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3PmfP8f5T

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQfVHLEKR

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9qdws5uHl

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXX3nsQd1p

Hanabi kept her tight grip on P's shirt with both hands as they both fell quiet, watching the attendant stop right in front of them.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFeqBffBKQ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6TJ04b1nZ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth64KiFPRW

"Ma'am, we have received numerous severe complaints from the customers who just shared your ride," the attendant stated firmly. "Based on the reports, you appear to have caused a massive public nuisance that has actively traumatized other paying customers mentally."

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJcapatJOi

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHrxVtk1IF

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREvx3Jj4U

"Hmph," P nodded his head in solemn agreement.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmd0W2OQZX

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfsbbTbzv1

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcsXj2pY9n

"We are now forced to take official action. You are officially banned from the rollercoaster until further notice. Thank you for your understanding," the attendant said. She offered a polite bow, turned on her heel, and quietly walked away.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyRdrAhjFk

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbEUoTVnQJ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL0iehhBMl

"What—?! Banned?!" Hanabi exclaimed in pure shock, her hands dropping from P's shirt. She spun around to face the retreating employee.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDdKZDBuPp

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5k7gCaKlF

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb851FV3AN

"What did I even do?! I did nothing!" she yelled, completely confused.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Do0Qrm75v

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v4XqWmcXv

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p7GPeiDS0

"KEKEKEKEKE..." P laughed quietly under his breath, placing his left hand on his waist.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncrLGA16VZ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyswDnhjyc

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtskeQxNot8

Hanabi whipped her head around, glaring angrily up at him. "What are you laughing at?!" she roared.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDT0mEMtdD

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd9kjmdxTT

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4vQRejSAn

"It is what it is. Look on the bright side—at least you didn't get banned from partaking in the other attractions. Let's go try something else," P said calmly.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg76eOZpLc6

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZvITImmlx

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF077nZAWSh

"Hmmphf!"

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo4AvosyfI

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1BfVNfYeX

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOVHFi1YG

Hanabi turned away from him with a heavy pout, angrily stomping away like a spoiled child.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNqttlEygB

But before she could even take another full step, P instantly bent down and swept her up directly into his arms in a bridal carry.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO57n5Zggs

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDjKT1pc9C

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUlewVSi1K

"Huh...?!" Hanabi gasped, her eyes widening.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD08YN8799

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTARjFI1THK

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK6MJ2U0EB

A sharp glint of light sparked at the outer edge of P's right eye. He instantly dropped into a low, athletic running posture, and without a second of hesitation, erupted into a sprint with incredible, superhuman speed, vanishing directly into the thick of the busy crowd.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafcGYghl5D

Meanwhile, down on the crowded pavement:

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxquaUi0QsK

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9aPTxgW5O

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD41sGkDBA

"Aaaahgh... we lost visual on the target!" Assassin One shouted into his earpiece.

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshPcfOT6HQ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprzrCElGh5

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1thQMWHO9

"Damnit...! Where the hell did he go?!" Assassin Two growled, scanning the sea of people in vain. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1dGem4g02
