Outside a spacious, traditional Japanese style mansion.
Irinaka Joi hurried back, completely out of breath.
This was the Shie Hassaikai's headquarters.
Seeing Irinaka Joi return, the two guards at the entrance quickly stepped up to support him, looking shocked.
"Department head! What... what happened to you?"
"We'll get you a doctor right away!"
Irinaka Joi waved his hand, gasping. "Help... help me to the second-in-command. I need to report on the mission, damn it!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Before Irinaka Joi could finish, familiar whooshing sounds came.
The next second, Irinaka Joi saw the brains of his two guys on either side burst open.
And he, no longer being supported, fell to the ground.
Ice shards mixed with blood and brain matter. Irinaka Joi's eyes nearly popped out of his skull.
He whipped his head around and saw Pet Shop standing proudly on the streetlamp behind him, looking down with a sneer.
"This... this damn bird! He followed me all the way here?!"
Irinaka Joi shouted in disbelief.
Hearing the commotion at the door, a bunch of Shie Hassaikai members inside also rushed out.
"What's going on? What happened, Ugh!?"
Seeing Irinaka Joi collapsed at the door and two corpses with their heads blown open by ice shards, the guys who ran out all had their faces drop.
"Department head, what the hell..."
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!!!!!
Before the guy could finish, the rapidly spreading ice breath from the top of the streetlamp froze all their feet to the ground.
And Irinaka Joi, still sprawled on the floor, had half his body frozen to the pavement.
"Zzzzzzzzz!!!!!"
With Pet Shop's furious screech, a giant ice ball as big as a football field rapidly formed overhead.
That's right. The same move from over a month ago during the fight with Arthur that almost wrecked Kanagawa.
Seeing this, every Shie Hassaikai member was completely stunned.
What kind of monster is that?
The next moment, Pet Shop swung his wings forward.
The massive ice ball smashed down hard.
The mansion below was pretty big, but only about half the size of a football field.
If that ice ball hit, more than half of all Shie Hassaikai members would probably die.
"This damn bird! Forget about being a persistent stalker, he's basically a killing machine!!!"
Irinaka Joi screamed, his eyes bulging.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from inside the mansion and collided with the falling ice ball.
Crash
Instantly, the ice ball shattered into countless tiny fragments that fell like snowflakes. No casualties.
Pet Shop's pupils shrank slightly. Just like the photo Arthur had shown him before.
The target named "Kai Chisaki."
"What's up with that bird?"
Chisaki Kai asked in a thick, nasally voice.
"Second-in-command, that damn bird is Arthur's pet! I'm sorry, the mission failed!"
Irinaka Joi shouted, still frozen to the ground.
"Arthur's?"
Chisaki Kai's expression shifted slightly.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!!!!!
The air froze again, and with a painful screech, Pet Shop summoned his Stand, Horus!
"Is this really something a U.A. student raised?"
Looking at Pet Shop, who had turned the air white with frost, Chisaki Kai muttered the same thing Irinaka Joi had just said.
This aura was definitely a killer's scent.
"This damn bird is clearly not stopping until it kills all of us!"
With help from other Shie Hassaikai members who'd arrived, Irinaka Joi, now unfrozen, barely stood up again and cursed at Pet Shop on the streetlamp.
"But don't underestimate the yakuza, you damn bird! You think you can take all of us by yourself?!"
Just as Irinaka Joi was about to order the other guys to attack, Chisaki Kai suddenly commanded, "Relocate and retreat."
"What? Second-in-command!"
Irinaka Joi and the other members gasped in surprise.
Chisaki Kai's gaze narrowed, and he said coldly, "Since it's Arthur's bird, he'll definitely come looking for it. We're at a critical point in the experiment. Getting discovered would be a problem. We'll evacuate through the secret passage and move headquarters."
"Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!"
Horus let out a piercing shriek, showing his master's mood. He had no intention of letting them go.
"He won't stop until all his enemies are dead? What a pain in the ass..."
Chisaki Kai's expression turned serious, and he twisted his wrist. "No other choice."
The next moment, Pet Shop dove down at over 300 km/h.
"So fast!"
Chisaki Kai's expression changed, and he dodged sideways.
Pet Shop skimmed the ground tiles, almost touching them, then shot straight up at a ninety degree angle.
At the same time, his wings condensed ice shards and fired.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Chisaki Kai swung his hands forward, shattering all the ice shards again.
Or rather, disassembling them.
Chisaki Kai's Quirk, Overhaul.
He can disassemble and reassemble anything he touches with his hands. He can also heal others. If someone's dead but not completely gone, he can even bring them back.
"Yeah, dealing with something like this with a human body is rough. No wonder only someone like Arthur could tame that thing."
Chisaki Kai put his hands on the ground.
Rumble!!!!!
The entire ground of the mansion disassembled and collapsed. Exploding stone fragments shot into the sky like Gaara's sand shower.
Pet Shop got caught off guard. Several rocks hit his stomach, leaving hole-like wounds that started bleeding.
"Serves you right, damn bird!"
"Now you see what the second-in-command can do?"
"Hahaha, die already!"
Seeing Pet Shop fall from mid-air onto the top of the main gate, a bunch of guys started yelling and taunting.
Pet Shop looked up. Horus's arm covered the wound and coated it with a layer of frost.
"He's... he's using ice to close the wound!"
Irinaka Joi shouted in surprise.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!!!!!
Like the Gate of Babylon.
Countless ice shards extended from the ice wall behind Pet Shop.
This bird was seriously insane.
Even like this, he still wouldn't retreat.
He wouldn't stop until all his enemies were dead.
For a moment, every Shie Hassaikai member had the same thought.
