Duel
It was decided that Will lives with Lee in his room for the time being.
Lee was next to Will at the breakfast table. Lee seemed to be Will's guardian. He is still barely talkative. "He doesn't laugh at all" Joe told Yoshida. "He just lost his brother, so it can't be helped. He'll be fine soon." "It's a trauma, isn't it?"
It was finally lunch break, and Ganymede took out the lunch box he brought. The classroom door popped open and Snake came in. "Ganymede! It's a customer" "Well, I haven't eaten my lunch yet." "Don't eat. Come with me." Ganymede reluctantly followed Snake.
It was Ian who was waiting in the guest room. He has a big bouquet in his hand. "Ehehehe" Ian laughed at Ganymede. "Can you give me that bouquet? Your intension is obvious. I hate you, after all." Ganymede said coldly. "Oh, yes. Then what about this?" Ian showed a large basket lined up on the table. Inside are big ham, fried eggs, freshly baked hamburgers, steaming sausages, delicious cheese, and much more. The smell of them whetted Ganymede's appetite. "How about these?" "Can I eat all?" "of course" "I love Ian" "Let's eat together on the bench outside."
Ganymede was sitting on the bench and chewing on Ian's lunch. "Delicious?" "Yup" Ganymede, who was full of food, said happily. Ian took out the knife and cut a little from a large chunk of ham. "This is also delicious" "Thank you" When Ganymede tried to receive the ham, a small mass fell to the ground. A dirty male dog wandering nearby flew in and ate it in no time. "Ah" Ganymede followed the dog's whereabouts with his ham. "Eat fast" Ian urged Ganymede. When Ganymede tried to bite into the ham, he noticed something was wrong with the dog. He approached another male dog nearby, shook his tail and turned his ass toward the male dog, and he was panting. Ganymede stopped eating. "What is that dog doing?" "I don't know" The dogs started mating in a hurry. A penis was stuck in the butt of the dog who ate ham. "Isn't that dog a male?" "I think so because it has a penis." Ganymede stared at the ham mass in his hand. Sweat floated on Ian's cheeks. Ganymede saw Ian with sharp eyes. "Ian!" "Yup" "You feed me this and try to mate with me like that dog?" "I'm sorry!" "BASIH!" "Gwaaah!" Ian ran away rubbing his cheeks, which had turned red.
"I've got a weird email." Crane told Yoshida. "If it's junk mail, I get 100 emails every day." "That's from Ian." Yoshida looked into the monitor and read the email. "What? duel? I wonder if he's crazy, this guy." "Judging from the text, he seems to be serious." "'I'm going to apply for a duel with Crane. The one who wins will get Ganymede.' Did he finally fall in love with Ganymede?" "What shall I do?" "Ignore?" "He'll think I've escaped and will be stuck up." "Then you do it?" Crane sighed. "After all it will be." "What is the date and time?" "It's Sunday noon tomorrow. He'll leave the place and method to me." "It seems interesting" "Well, yeah, it will be funny for you if you're only watching. Is there any good duel?" "It's easiest to shoot with a pistol." Crane wide-opened his eyes. "Shoot!" "You don't like it?" "If I get a bullet, I may die." "may be" "I'll pass this time." "Fufufu, You're an sissy as I thought. I will tell that to Ganymede." Yoshida laughed at Crane. The back of Crane quivered. He turned to Yoshida, and stared Yoshida. "I'll do it!" "It's pretty courageous. I think Ian will run away if he knows that you shoot each other." "Is there any good place?" "There is a suicide town. It's closed on Sundays, so let's rent it." "What? What is Suicide Town?" "It's a city with a system that allows you to commit suicide legally. It's said that it's built just like the western town of the pioneer era. Those who want to die can be shot dead by a fast-shooting gunman there."
"Uh, shoot!" Ian trembled while reading the reply email from Crane. "That bastard! Is he serious!"
On Sunday morning, Glen was humming and making a lunch box and packing it in a large basket. "Who's lunch?" Crane ,stopped by the kitchen, asked Glen. "It's lunch for me, Yoshida, Joe, Newton, and you and all the kids." "Well, that's everyone." "Yoshida said that we are going on a picnic in a western town." "Pi! Picnic!" "What's wrong?" "No, nothing" Crane left the kitchen with a weary face.
They came to the suicide town. The old western streets were recreated on both sides of the wide street. There were no other visitors during the holidays. A guide in a cowboy costume came over. "Welcome to Suicide Town. I'm Jeff, a referee." He was a bearded, pretty handsome guide who looked a lot like Burt Reynolds. "It's pretty good to have a duel with a gun. I'm glad there is such a person. Who? A person who duels." "I am" Crane said. Jeff put his hand out and shook hands. "Then, We must get ready, so come with me. For the rest, please wait at the seat in front of the bar." Jeff took Crane and went away.
Yoshidas sat down on a number of table chairs in front of the bar and spread their lunch boxes. "It's quite funny to eat while watching people kill each other." Joe said calmly. "Is Crane okay? Do they really shoot with a gun?" Ganymede asked Yoshida anxiously. "Okay, okay" "Ian is timid, so he'll never come." "I'm here" Before he knew it, Ian was near Yoshida. Dressed in black gunman clothing, he wore a gunbelt around his waist, from which a gun was hanging. "Oh!" Yoshida opened his eyes wide. "Hehehe" Ian peeled his teeth and laughed. Then he stopped by Ganymede. "How about this brave figure. I want to shoot your ass with my other gun quickly." "I wish you to be shot by Crane and die."
Soon Crane appeared. After all, he was a gunman, and had a belt and a gun on his waist. "Are you okay?" Yoshida asked Crane. "It's okay" "Your legs are shaking" "Because it's cold" "Your whole body is trembling," Bottom said. "Why? I must caught cold asleep. AuAuAuAuhh!"
Ian and Crane met in the middle of the road, and Jeff explained between them. "Well, don't shoot your belly as much as possible. If you hit it, you'll suffer for hours and finally die. Aim at your heart or head. Then you'll die comfortably." Ian and Crane were about to vomit. "So, how do you do it? Do you want to shoot at the same time facing each other, shoot while approaching from a distance, or shoot alternately in a fixed order?" "The second one is good" "Same" "Let's do that. Then Crane, go at this end of the street and Ian at the other end. When I signal, walk each other. You can shoot at any time."
Ian and Crane stood over the long street. The distance is about 200M. It was a sunny day with no clouds. The wind blew and dust flew up the wide road. Yoshida took his mug and drank beer. "Puha!" The children also enjoyed lunch while looking at shoot-out. Crane drank spit. Jeff signaled. "Then, get started!" Crane leaned forward a little, put his hand on the gun at his waist, and started walking awkwardly. Ian went on with the same attitude. Crane came in front of Yoshidas. "Crane! Come on!" The children shouted. And they started eating again. Crane walked enviously, looking sideways at it.
Ian walked slowly with his right hand on his waist gun. According to the knowledge he searched on the net, in order to shoot quickly, he should use his reflexes to react to the movement of the opponent's hand. Ian was staring at the right hand of Crane slowly approaching from the front. Similarly, Crane was concentrating all his nerves on the movement of Ian's right hand approaching. He intended to pull out the gun as soon as opponent moved even a little.
A dozen seconds have passed. Ian and Crane stopped. Because their nose collided with opponent's nose. "What are you doing?" Ian "And you too" Crane "Get out of way" Ian "If I get out and then?" Crane "---- Yeah, that's meaningless. What should we do?" Ian "Let's start over" Crane
"Let's change it to another method. What should we do?" Jeff asked the two. "I like the way to finish quick" "Agree. I'm hungry." Ian suggested. "How about this? Only one shot is put into the gun. And the same gun is used in order. The one who runs away or is shot loses." "Russian roulette? That's the first time," Jeff said. "How is it? Do you want to do it? Or give up and run away quickly?" Ian asked Crane. "I'll do it. Of course." "Then I'll put the bullet in" Ian said so, opened the magazine of the gun, emptied it, and put in only one shot. "Then, from me" Ian said so and pointed his gun at the crane. "Wait, it's from me" "it can not be helped" The two decided their turn with rock-paper-scissors. It was decided to start with Crane. Crane hit Ian's head with a gun. "I'll shoot. Will you give up and surrender?" "No" Crane triggered. The iron clicked. "Hehe" Ian plucked the gun and hit it on the temple of Crane.
"What are they doing?" Yoshida told Joe. "It looks like Russian roulette." "Silly things". "Sure. Either one will definitely die."
"How is it? Are you scared?" Ian struck Crane's head with the muzzle. "I'm not scared!" "You can run away. Which is more important, your life or that boy?" "Do it fast!" The iron clicked. Crane took a big breath. And he stole the gun. "Four more times, which means you have a 25% chance of dying here." "Okay, do it" Crane triggered. It was a misfire again. Ian took a breath.
"Let's stop them," Joe said. "Let's do so"
Yoshida and Joe broke in. "Don't both be stupid" "Hey! Don't disturb!" Ian said in a hurry. "One of you will definitely die. It's more like a suicide than a duel." "Crane, are you running away?" Ian asked Crane. "No" "That's right. This is a problem for us two. You guys look away." Jeff pushed Yoshida and Joe back. "The duel is legal, and this is the place for it. You guys don't get in the way."
Yoshida and Joe separated and decided to watch feeling nervous. Ian hit the gun on the head of Crane. "What do you do? In terms of probability, you have a 33% chance of dying. You can run away." "Who will run away?" Ian triggered. There was a clicking sound. Crane sighed relievedly. And he stole the gun. When he pointed his gun at Ian's head, Crane noticed something outrageous fact. "Two more times, which means that if this is not the case, the probability of the next bullet coming out is 100%! " A cold ice-like object ran on the spine of Crane. And the whole body began to tremble. "Hey, what's wrong? Did you get scared after all?" "No, no. By the way, there is a 50% chance that you will die here." "I know what you mean, and if no bullets come out, you have a 100% chance of dying." "Are you not scared?" "Isn't it you who are scared?" Ian stared at Crane.
"He's so calm, Ian," Joe told Yoshida. "I can't believe that he has so much courage. Or may be he doesn't have such kind of sensitivity at all. Unbelievable guy."
The gun held by Crane was shaking. Then he closed his eyes and pulled the trigger. There was a clicking sound. It was a misfire. "Ah ah ah!" Crane collapsed from his knee with his gun. "Hehehe" Ian laughed. He took the gun from Crane, and he hit it on the head of Crane. "I win" "Stop! Game was over. There is no point in doing any more." Joe shouted. "That's right. You will admit losing." Ian said to Crane, who was kneeling and lying down. "Shoot me fast" "That's no use. I'll save your life." "Without Ganymede, I'm as good as dead." "Well, okay? I'll get that boy." With that said, Ian put his gun away and tried to go to Ganymede. "Wait a minute!" Jeff stopped Ian. "It's not over yet" "What?" "What?" Ian and Crane turned around. "Get on quickly and finish it." "I said that it's over. We don't need to do anymore." Ian was upset. "In this town, you can't stop in the middle of a duel. If you can't do it, I'll do it." That said, Jeff stole the gun from Ian. "Ah!" Jeff hit his gun on the temple of Crane. "Ah ah!" Yoshida and others screamed. The iron clicked. "Hmm?" Jeff examined the gun. "Hey. Wasn't there a bullet from the beginning?" "What?"
Yoshida, Joe, Crane, Glen, and Newton lined up side by side and slowly approached Ian. Ian stepped back. "I'm sorry. There was no offense. I thought it hurts if I put in a bullet." "Did you cheat and pretend to put in a bullet?" Yoshida asked. "Well, that's it. Then I have something to do, so I must go back." "We've come all the way, so let's play more." Glen popped his finger. "It would be interesting to do 1 to 5 duel." Newton said softly. And five people attacked Ian all at once. "No! Stop! Please! Wow! Don't pluck my clothes! Oh! Oh!"
"Good, Crane. You won the duel." Ganymede hugged Crane. "Let's go home" Crane glanced back, pulling Ganymede's hand. Ian was tied naked to a thick tree and trembled in the cold.
